Interesting discussion on Morning Joe on Friday about how the US has an economy at approx. 26 Trillion, the EU has an economy at approx. 25 trillion, China is at 17T and Russia is at 1.7T. Common Russians subsist on 800 rubles a month while the kleptocracy rides around in $700 million yachts. Taxes...

I wonder how long before Ukraine has to consider using SoF to replenish their ranks of front line combat troops they have lost. Nobody likes the idea of hired guns but there are a lot of dog faces out there that will fight if the paycheck is right.

Garland in Contempt? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-69022395 Assume that the GOP House Oversight Committee contempt citation is issued. Now what happens? The President has interposed executive privilege against disclosure of the videotapes. The DOJ will likely contest the legal basis for ...

I just watched an interview on our local NBC news ( I have to specify the network so it doesn't become an issue for the tool bags on this forum) :D The dude was demanding an IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE in Gaza. He is under the delusional belief that a cease fire = peace in our time. He went as far to insi...

What is the greater danger? A 14 year old with an illegal handgun or a 14 year old driving a stolen KIA at 80 miles an hour down a city street? If you crash the stolen KIA and kill someone chances are all you will receive is an appearance ticket. Because your only 14 after all.

Huge shout out to Coach Booker at East United. A very good season with primarily a bunch of city kids excelling at lacrosse because of a dedicated coach.

Spent a number of hours in the car today listening (too much) to the trial coverage. Boggles my mind how off base a lot of the commentary was about the text and phone call about the 14-year-old stalker. No, that was not an effective cross examination. Just like nobody believes Trump that he didn’t ...

Bibi alienates everyone but the far-right in Israel. Even the Wall Street Journal gets it. I guess there are a lot of Jews in Israel who don't remember the Holocaust? I know there are a significant number of Jews in Israel who understand what October 7 was all about. Fortunately for them Doc they a...

I have a question. I don't understand the US policy towards Taiwan. Why is it we can send Taiwan the most sophisticated military technology in our inventory, yet if the US Navy and Taiwan Navy train together the ChiComs having an aneurysm about it? Jealousy? Triangles in a relationship typically ca...

The judge was apointed by a Bush Sr. Judge. Famously liberal president. Let's not worry about anything prior to him shooting the gun or why he did it. Just how we punish him. Which obviously he should be punished for. But more importantly, let's only focus on punishment. It will prevent the next ki...

Looks like university / college protests are winding down. Hopkins, Towson and Syracuse encampments closed down over Sunday - Monday.

Sure he did. Maybe he was poppin caps at a bunch of crackers? The more rational explanation is that this judge is a freaking moron.

... or just read the research article. ...i did. hmmm It ain't like they weren't "included". But it's a very small fraction of the overall population, so I think your hypothesis of major impact falls flat before takeoff. Just 1% of adults serve in military and only 15% of those see active...
