From neither a sailor nor soldier:

"Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

There are other grand juries and investigations of real crimes. Reminds me of the junior right wing lawyers pursuit of impeaching Bill Clinton. Starr was installed, a strategy was pre arranged and...

Don't say that. Someone might be looking at Biden pictures over the years!

I don't think the current Putin is the guy the CIA selected and helped to lead Russia. I see him more as an avatar or...

My sources never stand muster in this forum. That is why I don't cite the numbers I have heard. Our government has worker bees that can tell their higher ups exactly what is happening on the ground....

I have been content here in this forum to blame it all on Bill Clinton and NAFTA, like the proto-Trump Ross Perot described as the "Big Sucking Sound". During the period, I worked in a door...

"The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.“

Joseph Conrad, The Mirror of the Sea

This has the feel of a bad passion play. The fringe Right has been saying since November 2022 that their plan is Trump getting arrested. It finally happens just in time to cover the revelations of...

This looked like a desperate opportunity for Ukraine to overcome being restricted from adequately resupply of the Eastern front trough rail and road transport, and from inadequate ammunition from US...

And, yes the Russian pilots were rewarded for bringing down the US drone in International airspace. Russia awards pilots for taking down U.S. drone over Black Sea CBS News...

Willie Nelson singing Jimmy Cliff's "Harder They Come". An unusual cover, no one can have the energy and unoppressable joy of Jimmy Cliff, but Willie Nelson can communicate the Live In Freedom spirit...

I agree I miss-remembered V1. I think the real controversy is where the US Drone was intercepted. The transponder was probably off to keep American civilians from monitoring where the drone was...

No one seems to remember Hurricane and Spitfire pilots trying to figure out how to defeat Nazi v-2s heading toward England's cities during the Battle of Britain. Somebody found that tipping the V-2...

The state I am in now has had a long term low age for marriage supposedly based on the Bible. A previous woman Democrat Governor tried to raise the legal age for marriage but was unsuccessful. A...

That is not my capitalization, sorry to have appeared confrontative. I will edit it. It is how the web article I copied and posted was written.

We can agree that is the thing about the truth...

Look closely at marriage in Anglo-American Jurisprudence. We all think of it from a contract perspective, but that is erroneous. No doubt various state laws are written regarding marriage as if it...

We certainly hope it isn't. But all of it was reported as it was happening, just censored for us by those that profited from the chosen solution, just like the Eco Health Alliance influenced original...

I said a couple of times in the Covid thread: "Is it too early to say Covid was created in a laboratory as a bioweapon?" , I got refuted and "fact checked" by the Nature article etc. Now the House...

"Pro-Russian official claims Bakhmut will fall: Russian forces control routes into Bakhmut and it’s only a matter of time until the city falls into Russian hands, according to a pro-Russian official....

In the Bakhmut videos I am seeing, old Soviet tanks are shooting across the street/promenade/plaza, etc. at the apartment blocks across from them floor by floor, just like the final months of WWII...

Hey it isn't on the Kansas radio, its mainstream: "How The Left’s War On Words Manipulates Your Mind" https://thefederalist.com/2018/05/01/lefts-war-words-manipulates-mind/

Speaking of which, the policy being "implemented" right now is to pass off the remaining unsold housing at the tail end of the boom cycle (that creative destruction of Capitalism thing) to those that...

My past life choices are going to catch up with me. I have been looking at being intentionally homeless. I thought escaping on a bicycle and trying to pass as a yuppie tourist would work, but already...

I think it is a good new word for accomplishing the Cultural Marxism strategy of implying that government has a duty to provide houses not just shelter, but housing to all citizens. Once the...

No, I haven't. And there were incidents of Russians being lawfully targeted in Belarus because it was an invasion Belarus was permitting or responsible for. But that was when Putin believed a...

An interesting test of the effectiveness of sticking to your "fact checked" sources will be when US made missiles and smart artillery rounds are targeting Russian formations in Belarus as they are...

We also talk here about Belarus being a potential Russian vassal when in fact, the USA color revolution there failed 15 Aug, 2020 Belarus’ Lukashenko says he is being targeted by ‘color revolution’,...

I noticed that in the Bilge we speak of Moldova as a single Western friendly nation ( where the even more beautiful women have come from...), In actuality, the part near Ukraine is pretty much its...

I think it is a mistake to think Putin is in any way a "great man" or sole decision-maker. I have seen things that make me doubt he is the original Putin, the German news article with his ex wife,...

I will never say another thing about it on this thread.

I never said man made warming was false. I couldn't say it was false even in the relatively non globalist controlled state of Kansas. Saying global warming was false would likely cause me to be...

Its been universally discredited in this thread, but I have stuck to the idea from Philip Caputo's memoir of Vietnam, A Rumor of War (1977) ..The technology whizzbang stuff is only good for the first...

I think 12 years ago, there was very little difference in quality of life and real civil liberty of a rural Russian villager and a rural Ukrainian villager. Not making war is not using passive...

Sounds like an argument to provide security for Shell Oil. A problem that comes to mind is that for 3 decades while Europeans were criticizing social science statistics in USA, I was subsidizing NATO...

What would Mahatma Gandhi do? I don't think it would be continuing to participate in war making for some perceived better future position. Like the US Civil War, the Ukraine war's cost is already for...

I think back in the day, Justin Raimondo would have rejected every point. Those were the good days.

What do you mean? Did Sy's articles conflict with Pfizer sponsored fact checkers? Did Bob Woodward tell a conflicting story?

I have seen the recruiting videos for foreign volunteers to join Russia. I can't get beyond my 1980's Infantry days of seeing that Soviet Union soldiers didn't even use socks. Just a wrapped fabric...
