This may be all over in a couple weeks.

The number of lives, both American *and* Japanese saved by those bombings numbers in the millions. Japan *was* fully prepared to fight to the last man, woman, and child if we'd been forced to invade. They were literally training children to use sharp sticks against US Marines with machineguns...

Most of America is aware, many are watching closely. In the same way they were aware of the 1992 Olympic basketball tournament.

Which makes more sense: "In the midst of a wave of surgical precision strikes targeting Iranian leadership, the US decided to send a million dollar missile to blow up a random kindergarten" Or "One of Iran's notoriously unreliable missiles malfunctioned and landed back on Iranian soil".

How many military attacks have we conducted this century ? How many of them were "congressionally authorized" ? Did you complain about others too, or is this just your TDS talking ? The people complaining about the strikes "not being authorized" are just beclowning themselves. The war...

"Mexico will pay for it" has a completely different connotation there.... "Wait, sir, that's not what we thought you meant when you said use Mexicans to build the wall...."

Starlink can run off a USB battery pack. People literally use them camping that way.

In theory, yes. In practice, the charges seldom materialize. A few states have a mechanism that allows ordinary citizens to bypass prosecutors and present charges to a grand jury directly. That should be universal.

I'm waiting for Trump to say "If the Iranian leadership was smart they would load pallets of cash and abandon the country, that's their best exit strategy at this point".

60mb is fast enough for most people, despite the marketing folks trying to convince everyone they need gigabit or better. If you've got 60mb and it's reliable and it's reasonably priced, then keep it. We're on 100MB fixed wireless from our primary provider (fixed wireless looks like satellite...

We should stop calling them illegals and start calling them colonizers. Turn the left's bullshit against them. They're basically trying to turn Minneapolis into a Somalian colony, so it's not inaccurate.

Starlink is world's better than anything available 10 years ago. We got one just to have as a backup for our other provider (there is a $5/month "standby" plan).

There are plenty of people who act uncivilized the minute they think a cop isn't actively looking at them.

There are a dozen groups of miscreants over there, and they all have similar names. Makes it confusing. Was there a ceasefire with Hezzbollah ? Or was that Hamas, or the Houthies ?

It really comes down to perception. Whether aid is coming isn't really relevant. What matters is whether people *believe* aid is coming. If they think things will return to "normal-ish" within a few weeks or even months, then they will behave. But, if enough people think that things are...

They need to tread very carefully. When people lose faith in the justice system, that's when they start seeking their own. The left is playing a very dangerous game by yelling from the rooftops that the government is fascist and people should be dealing with that directly, and at the same...

Yea, I was sure Christian would absolutely bury Muslim, but in this context it's about Lent vs Ramadan, and the majority of those Christians don't observe lent. So I was wondering about the split between lent observing Christian denominations vs Muslims, which is a much smaller difference.

Would be interesting to see what the muslim/catholic demographic split is there. Maybe add in all the other denominations that observe lent as well.

Isn't it illegal for government employees to push a partisan agenda while on the clock ? These kids didn't organize this stuff. They need find out who did and prosecute them, or at least fire them.

They should make a web site to sign up for it with phone number and address. Then cross reference the signups against the immigration lists, and pick them all up and ship them off.

The secret is *everyone* is on their radar. Doesn't seem to help us much, but I'm pretty sure they start a file on you before you're out of diapers these days

It didn't go well for them in the 1980s, and the disparity is a *lot* more extreme now.

The other side of the Maduro raid was just a straight up flex. "Sure, we could have easily just killed him surgically with an R9X flying Ginsu blade, that's easy. We went the hard route and took him alive". The sheer level of of badassery that raid demonstrated had to have snapped shut...

If they were smart they would sneak out of the country now with truckloads of cash. They would certainly be allowed to go. They could never *sink* a carrier. They'd be lucky do damage it at all.

I'm betting the carrier would survive that just fine. The Iranian military would cease to exist the next day.

They should have to auction the guns back off to the public, but other than that I agree. Forcing them to sell them would eliminate the "get the guns off the street" mindset and remind them that the job is to get the *criminals* off the street.

Technically they're not wrong about the "Christian" and "nationalist" labels. But only in the twisted mind of the left are either of those bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DEF system wasn't about green house gasses, it's about particulate emissions and smog.

That's only true if you accept the crusaders premise than the rest of their entourage doesn't count LOL. Medieval warfare casualty counts look top heavy because the peasants who died weren't even considered important enough to count LOL.

In the UK the whites *are* the natives.

Name one major conflict ever in all of world history where the majority of the deaths weren't from the lower classes. Or are you claiming Russia is so much better than every other state ever than they have managed to make war "fair" ?

That's pretty much how all nations in the history of ever operate, so I'm not sure where your skepticism is coming from.

They will tax everyone, but they'll pass it through the millionaires so they don't get blamed. "We taxed your landlord another 10% like you wanted, but it's all his fault your rent went up 10%"

They'll blame the landlords, and yell even louder for the government to take over. They have no idea what the government will do for a budget once it owns the properties and can't collect tax revenue on them anymore.

But, if we get all the crazy people off the streets, who would lead the Democrat party ?

Put them in Epstein's cell, and assure them the cameras are working now....

Jeffrey Dahmer comes to mind, but your point is valid. There doesn't seem to be a correlation there. But, OTOH, if society tells one group they are oppressed and victims, that does inculcate a sense that they are owed retribution. We see this commonly from whoever the left seems a "victim...

It's textbook, and still the "party of science" doesn't recognize it. Munchausen syndrome by proxy: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia Munchausen syndrome by proxy: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

You can never lay enough traps to get rid of mice if you don't clean up the mess that attracts them.

That's like the story about the woman who showed up at the vet's and forgot to bring the dog.

We used to do that too, back before they automated the process. Here's a hint .gov. automation is supposed to make things faster, easier, cheaper, and more reliable. The way you automated vote counting you have gone way the wrong direction on all 4 things.

Just reinforces the basic rule "know your target", and is a warning not to confuse what you know with what you think.

It's NY, they would just find an even douchier doche canoe to put in charge. It's not like getting rid of Cuomo actually helped anything. The thing you have to get rid of is the people voting them in.

I generally avoid it where possible, but some left leaning family members tend to not want to cooperate. I'm not going to pretend I agree with them just to keep the peace.

You should remind her that Pretti was a straight white male, and the 2 ICE agents that shot him were both "brown" and hispanic.

It's like a game of hot potato. Whoever's last gets stuck with the bill.

If they think it stinks now, wait till July. Import the 3rd world, smell like the 3rd world.

We haven't had a "pro 2A" administration in a very long time. Maybe JFK ? Best we have is "not rabidly anti-2A".

Have I mentioned how happy we are to be out of that shithole ? Really, the weather is just a nice bonus.
