I think it's pretty simple honestly. Trump was convinced by Netanyahu to attack Iran selling the recent protests against the regime as evidence that the regime was teetering on the edge and a few well placed cruise missiles would finish them off. What he didn't say is that there is no party or...
I'm just happy that "Eyepatch McCain" won't be in Congress anymore. I had such high hopes for that guy. Turned out to only care about enriching himself through insider trading.
It's gotten to the point where I believe almost nothing I see online (or in print/tv for that matter) anymore. Even stuff I see in person makes me question thing occasionally.
There's a difference in a trained educated professional using AI to do research and a completely different thing for someone with no training or experience in a particular field using AI to actually do the job/make the diagnosis.
I do some work in the legal field. I'm seeing more and more...
I'm a public employee and am on SeeThroughNY. My numbers a little off but pretty close. I've heard some people's are way off. For what reasons I don't know.
I'm certain she did everything Trump told her to do during her tenure as Homeland Security Secretary. But, now that it's unpopular somebody has to be the fall guy (fall gal in this case) and she's the sacrificial lamb. This new job is a low-profile golden parachute for her to take the fall.
Detroit has lots of vacant lots to set up in. Hell there are old IBM sites all over the Hudson Valley and Southern Tier that could hosted this site imo.
I see it all the time. Government pet projects (either run by .gov or their buddies in the private sector) get all sorts of passes on things like permits and SEQRA and what not. Folks like you and I would be held up for years in litigation if we tried to bypass any of the months long review...
I mean, if I was in Iran (of any nationality) I would want to get out of dodge post haste.
Though I wouldn't put it past the Chinese to be helping with the crack down on protestors, surveillance, and the Iranian nuclear program.
Don't trust China. China is asshole.
Technically it's the consulate (embassies are only located in national capitals). Still not good.
At least 22 people killed in Pakistan as protesters try to storm US Consulate
My hope and prayer is that the Islamist regime is relegated to the dustbin of history and the Iranian people can know true freedom.
My expectation is that nothing good will come of this.
Would not want to be a gringo south of the border these days that's for sure.
The cartels have far too much money and far too much power. I think it's pretty clear they're the ones who really are running the country. If it stays on Mexico's side of the border it's their problem as far as I'm...
I almost am for regime change in Iran. The mullahs took what was once an advanced, westernized country and turned it into a third world theocratic shithole in short order. The economy is collapsing. Food is expensive and hard to come by. Jobs and investment are nonexistent. The young people that...
I've known a few Trans people (one fairly well). All and I mean ALL of them are mentally ill. No doubt in my mind. When you talk with them it's almost always the case that they have abuse (physical or sexual) in their background and this is their way to deal with it.
More recently, it's been...
Probably on all that farmland that they've bought over the past few years.
Honestly, it'd be easier to unleash a disease that targets specific crops (cereals) that we need for ourselves and our livestock than it would be to target just plain 'ol white folks. They'd just starve us out. Or drive...
The reason the government is doing this is a money thing, plain and simple. They pay for Medicare/Medicaid and this gets heavy users of that off their rolls. It has nothing to do with compassion in my opinion.
I have mixed feelings on this. At the end my dad needed hospice. They use drugs to...
Democrats love environmental impact studies. They love to weaponize them against a lot of different projects. Yet, when they potentially stand in the way of some of their pet projects magically they seem to disappear or get hand waved away.
Legalization of marijuana has been a giant scam from the get go. The government got its paws on it and turned what should have been a money printing industry into a disaster. It's obvious that a feel-good bleeding heart leftist decided that businesses licenses should be first granted to those...
I'm a bit old fashioned in the sense that I believe marriage is between one man and one woman. But ultimately that's between the couple and God (insert whatever higher power you want). I've officiated one Lesbian wedding and would do more homosexual weddings too. I like money more than I like...
Just like AOC (who I actually don't find that attractive personally).
Beware citizen of the big ol' communist titties! They will enchant and ultimately destroy you! Forsake the big ol' communist titties for pure, medium-sized conservative titties.
The government learned a long time ago (like other governments before it) that you can raid the public treasury to buy yourself votes. It has been the downfall of every government in the past and I expect it to be the ultimate downfall of this one.
My employer is installing these things in our vehicles. I can guarantee that someone will end of being killed, especially if they have to drive on the highway.
Law of supply and demand. Anyone with a brain could have seen this coming.
The solution? Well, according to the Mayor-Elect of NYC is to use taxpayer dollars to build more housing to complement the other free stuff he's giving away.
That, I can tell you, will not end well.
I think we all saw how this mayor's race was going to end. Want to know how the City will end up? Just take a look at London and its Muslim mayor.
Oh, and for everyone with a City pension: the new Comptroller (also a Dem though I really didn't need to tell you that) wants to use City pension...
I was thinking about this today. 9/11 wasn't that long ago. Who would have thought in the days, months, years following the worst terrorist attack on US soil, committed by Muslim extremists, in the biggest most consequential city in the nation, that today we seriously could (and probably likely)...
Personally, I think the DEI/Affirmative action policies didn't do the Dems any favors. Asians typically do well academically and get into Ivy League colleges more so than other races. But Obama and Biden both implemented and pushed policies to make sure that other races (read: black and brown...
Dick Cheney...what a complicated figure. I wish no ill will to the dead or to his surviving relatives. Having said that...
Cheney represents everything that is wrong with the Republican Party, then and now. He along with Rumsfeld were indicative of its Neocon wing. The wing that got us into two...
Both of my S&W revolvers have the Hillary hole. Never used it and never had a problem with it. S&W probably should have had a bigger set of balls when they were pressured to include it but I don't see it as being overly restrictive. Glad to see that they discontinuing it though.
