  1. I've always wondered: What is the difference between an empty space, (like beyond the edge of where energy has reached since the big bang), and something that does not exist at all.

  2. At least I heard Officer Sap say they needed to contact ICE. Thanks for that!

  3. I'm 72 years old and lived under 13 Presidency. Trump's election feels like waking up from a sad and depressing dream, and realizing you were sleeping on the beach on a tropical island.

  4. The police chief, several patrol offices and a policemans wife have been arrested and charged with multiple crimes.

  5. The American is the first traveling hoarder I've ever seen.

  6. Im sure Zelenski must have been impressed with Harris' foreign policy chops.
    83
  7. How many of us were aware of tariffs or trade balances with India? Trump solves a problem before we knew it was a problem!

  8. I have a concealed carry permit, but I would never bring it to a political rally for any reason.

  9. No. Its 42.

  10. Not one single person in the history of the world has ever been responsible for the actions of an ancestor. To believe that your personal worth is related to your racial identity is self defeating, infantile thinking.

  11. The wildfires may have started under conditions aggravated by global warming. It became a disaster for 3 reasons: 1) Neighborhoods stopped clearing dry brush from obviously dangerous areas. 2) The city failed to maintain a reservoir intended to be available for fire fighting. 3) The department decided to save money by laying off maintenance staff. As a result, more than 300 pieces of equipment were out of service. Earths climate has continuously changed fo 4 billion years. You cannot prevent climate change. The intelligent response is to prepare to prevent or deal with the undesired effects of the change.

  12. Ms. Owens came away from a horrific experience with a true understanding of the nature of forgiveness, based on serious contemplation. My admiration for her increases with each contact.

  13. Well done video. Few remember why America has continued to oppose the Palestinian cause. As soon as older and wiser PLO leaders sought peace, (Think Yasser Arafat), the young radicals opposed them, so they could continue an armed struggle. It's analogous to old movie westerns where the old 'Indian' chiefs want to make peace but the young warriors want to fight.
    52
  14. I voted for Carter once, and Reagan twice. Biden is in a whole new league of stupid, Carter at least was a decent man.

  15.  @fatmatota1806  1) It is not "their" land, and never has been. 2) The UN, to which all Arab nations belong, has repeatedly affirmed Israel's right to exist. 3) Warfare is conducted by nations. Nations operate under law, so called resistance fighters recognize no law, and as a result are, and should be treated as, outlaws.

  16. I'm surprised you didn't mention the most likely explanation: that she was one of thousands killed by the Soviets for the crime of being anti-communists.
    43
  17. They're still there, most have just shut up.
    42
  18. What's worse is that it takes an Australian news outlet for Americans to see this.
    39
  19.  @skayzi_lego  The difference is that American journalists cover the story, American MPs make arrests and the perpetrators are imprisoned. When Russian soldiers do it you just say, well an American did it, and leave it at that. Shameful that you don't see the distinction.
    38
  20.  @vatrweaver5169  That makes my point. There is no place that contains nothing. Ergo, if there were a 'space' in which there was neither energy nor matter, that space must contain 'something', no?
    37
  21. I can't recall a single thing I gave my dad for christmas as a kid. Probably old spice. But Santa always seemed to know what I would really like. We were dirt poor, and I'm the oldest of 9 kids. But he managed over the years),a chemistry set, a microscope, a Cape Canaveral set, a guitar and my first shotgun. I think all my siblings would say the same. He's gone now, and I wonder if the joy I had in those presents were thanks enough.
    34
  22. Mayokis is a man without honor. He falsely accused his men of horsewhipping immigrants. He said they were investigating. A year later there is still no sign of a report.
    33
  23. Most Americans get their news from local TV. Having traveled the country for the last 3 years, and seeing local news coverage, I know that no media is covering these stories.
    33
  24. Never, never answer a question from a federal agent. They are not seeking information, they are hoping you say something they can call a lie. Don't argue or fight. Just say "I will only answer your questions in the presence of an attorney who represents me."
    32
  25. We have seen this before. In the 70s we ended a disastrous war, more than tripled spending on social programs, and had a sudden and huge increase in energy costs due to supply shortages. Of course, the supply shortages were because middle eastern countries tried to bully us into changing foreign policy. Now we have all the same conditions. Our supply shortage in oil is self imposed, but the rest is the same. Ignore history at your peril. By 1979 the combined inflation and unemployment rating reached 20%. BTW: Brandon was beginning his political career at this time. I think he is reliving his youth, fighting the same battle he and his leftwing friends lost in 1980.
    32
  26. Rep. Comer: I suggest you use the franking priviledge to mail a document to every U.S. voter that details the accusations and why the charges are true. Not one broadcast network or local TV station will mention the May 10 press conference.
    31
  27. Why do people misuse 'honor' when they mean 'remember in mourning'? Brown deserves no honor. He dishonored himself at every opportunity. His friends and relatives grieve at his passing and wish it had been otherwise. That's fine.
    29
  28. And we're the divisive ones.
    27
  29. The Uniparty wants to spend Russia into submission. This could take years.
    26
  30. The joke in Pa: Pennsylvania is 3 states. Philly in the East, Pittsburgh in the West and Alabama in the center. We always end up with Senators who are afraid to do or say anything except to attack their opponent.
    25
  31. Thanking a birthing person just doesn't have that 'ring' to it, does it? And they don't believe in God so...
    24
  32. She's where she wanted to be. I hope she enjoys it.
    24
  33. I suspect it may depend on the mid-terms. I think JD looks trustworthy, and he's not the only one.
    23
  34. This seems a good time to recommend "The Kite Runner". The best book ever written about Afghanistan, Also one of the best written books in many years.
    22
  35. As one who has been responsible for other workers actions I can tell you this. You can delegate duties and tasks. You cannot delegate responsibility. Cheatle allowed insufficient staffing, failed to review their security plan, evaded answering questions, and gave dumb answers to easy questions. Those are the hallmarks of incompetent management.

  36. Grandma was exactly who I expected. It takes a lifetime of training to create a person as clueless as Mom.
    21
  37. It shames me as an American that we have to take a back seat in the fight for freedom. Thank God for Canadians.

  40. @ I googled Hanceville Police.. It popped up before i finished

  41.  @ronstewart4545  I think the poor guy was just trying to give credit where its due. But you are right of course. All that's needed for evil to triumph is good people doing nothing.
    17
  42. I understand the sentiment but disagree. We need them to keep running their mouth so we know they're still as hateful as ever. They're like popups in a whack-a-mole game.
    16
  43. Matt- I think your work on combatting the Trans agenda could well have been recognized in the speech. You did as much as anyone, and more than most.
    16
  44. He was, and I think he believed it because that's what his side said.
    16
  45. The German soldiers still had good morale long after it was clear they were defeated. Note long lines of soldiers still marching in step in good order. The Nazis didn't deserve such soldiers.
    15
  46. I remember Biden sitting with a guest leader for a solid 3 minutes before a flock of screeching harpys rush in and put a stop to it.

  47. I first heard her talk during a primary debate 4 years age. By the end of the debate, just hearing the stupid stuff she said made me mad. Now she fills me with an unreasonably large amount of rage.I mean, not like Hillary Clinton, but pretty damn close.
    15
  48. Abso fn lutely!

  49. Why should I care how long these criminals languish. Most should never be released at all in any country.

  50. That's not judgement, it's discernment. God judges, we notice the judgement.

  51. The next time this happens, I hope the person being interviewed will look directly at the camera and say "I am asking the director of this broadcast to instruct her to allow me to answer her question." And then stop doing anything until it happens.
    14
  52. Ironically, that's what many of them believe. Satan promotes pride, envy, lust, greed and sloth; all the required hallmarks of progressive thought.
    13
  53. Losing ships to a country with no Navy is the most Russian thing they've done since the Baltic fleet sailed for Tsushima Strait.
    13
  54. Unidentified and alien are not synonymous. There are probably multiple explanations that each apply to 1 or more of the encounters. BTW- A sunburn is a radiation burn, just not an ionizing type.

  55.  @hootowl6354  Influence peddling, bribery, Acting as an unregistered foreign agent, tax evasion...
    11
  56. There is only one thing that would represent accountability: if we voted out lying thieving incumbent politicians. Until we do that there will be no legal consequences. Why not? Because Congress decides what is or isn't legal, and writes enough loopholes to cover all the gray areas. When it comes to corruption, I always believe what each side says about the other.
    11
  57. There should be cameras in every classroom. Parents should be able to see for themselves how schools operate.
    11
  58. I have never seen less fun being had on a roller coaster.
    11
  59.  @LowercaseKev When a participant in a sport goes beyond stretching the rules, the law does get involved. We've seen it in everything from youth football to pro hockey. The fact is that schools will only very seldom allow even the public to see what happens. They actively avoid letting the people see it. If it wasn't for cell phones and public controversy we wouldn't even have heard about this.
    11
  60. @ Spit weighs a gram, but if you spit on someone you have committed a battery. This might not be an assault under the law in Virginia. Whichever she did it was a crime. Which crime and how bad is up to a judge not the police.
    11
  61. Plus, they let a crew fly that capsule even though the only other time they tried, Starliner failed to reach ISS.
    11
  62. When we pump as much oil as we use, we can stay out of middle eastern affairs, and let them run their own affairs. When we need something from the middle east, we have to choose sides in their numerous differences. Needing middle eastern oil is what makes their people see us as imperialists.
    10
  63. Exactly. They used to all get together and agree to pound on something Trump did. Now, before the 6 o'clock news, Trumps team has given them 3 new things to complain about, and they're already behind the the 8ball.
    10
  64. You know, I'm happy the administration is afraid of us. Government should maintain a healthy fear of the people.
    10
  65. They love it when they get to use all their cool gear and advanced training. So much so that they'll get into territorial disputes with anyone who interferes with their grandiose plan.

  66. Sgt. Wood anticipated Tom Hanks in The Green Mile. "Well sir, they are dead."

  67. If the federal govt. really wanted renewable energy, it would stop subsidizing infrastructure and start offering to buy all the natural energy produced, and use that energy to provide power to electric vehicles in cities where they make sense. When the feds want to travel, they don't build planes, they buy a ticket.

  68. Listening to Dr.Sowell speak sets my mind going. I have to pause the video every other minute to think about what he just said.

  69. He's good, but these good communicators are pretty common in this administration. Leavitt, Patel, Steven Miller come to mind. Excellent public speaking skills are high on the list of job requirements.

  70. Jill looks like a tourist at a future "reimagination" of Barnum and Bailey's Flying Circus.

  71. I worked on building steel towers. On one job it was convenient to use a crane to hoist completed 20' sections onto an existing tower. I was on the tower top putting in the bolts into each new section as it came up. One section started swinging a bit wild due to 0:06 sudden wind gusts that were getting nasty. As I wrangled the first bolt in place the ground workers let me know about lightning. I heard the boom and saw a flash, and I started climbing down like a scared squirell. We left to get under cover during a horrendous storm. When we next looked out the tower section and crane were at seemingly impossible angles, and the rigging had fouled everything. The crane was up to its axles in mud and tilted a bit. The operator had set 3 wheels in 2 different swales, and the downpour buried the crane in mud. 0:06

  72. It was nice of the President of Angola to watch out for Joe. Notice how he let Joe know to step up? He must have been briefed by the handlers.

  73. Having watched European politicians, professors, media types and celebrities and listening to them speak, i have to doubt they'll ever wake up.

  74. The Palestinians could have peace and their own homeland the day they agree that the State of Israel will be permitted to exist.

  75. The photo of the "pristine bullet" has been debunked many times. Turn the bullet on its side and you can see that it isn't at all pristine. Secondly, its an FMJ round that performed exactly as designed. I did not come apart and make multiple wound channels.

  76. The T-90 is relatively new, and the Bradley fought in Desert Storm. Our oldest winning against their best.

  77. Ive played guitar for 65 years. For 50 of those I tried to never be that guy.

  78. No, Joe should not concern himself with what someone else says on his show. If he disagrees, he can say so. But you and I are not entitled to tell Rogan who he can talk to.
    8
  79. Not try, do. And sell it in public to law abiding citizens for cheap. And use the proceeds to get high, or maybe buy some pampers for the kid. Do you see how ignoring property crimes poisons a whole community?
    8
  80. One aspect of these conflicts I almost never hear mentioned is ethnic hatred, the real root of the conflict. In this particular case we see two ethnic groups that have lived within 100km of each other for a millennium, unable to merge their culture enough to at least co-exist.
    8
  81. Yes, and more recently we were supposed to have a red wave. VOTE!
    8
  82. Of course. But that doesn't take away the right to criticize her.
    7
  83. I spent my career around trenches, excavations etc. I would NEVER allow a child in a sandpit more about a foot deep. Loose dirt, particularly sand is extremely dangerous. The injuries from even partial burial can be horrific, Google it if you din't believe me.

  84. His approval closely tracks the number of yellow dog democrats.

  87. You don't owe anyone an explanation. The driver was just mad because she had to work.

  88. @ A few years ago I noticed all these "Municipal Authority" annual statements in newspapers. They all show a deficit every year, and their balance sheets all said "Not compiled according to General Practices of Accounting". Now I understand why no one gave a crap.
    7
  89. My granddad always said "Trust everyone! Cut the cards!" The point is if cheaters know you will check for cheating, they won't cheat. The DNA test is the same as cutting the cards.
    7
  90. I'm looking forward to '28.

  91. Dave Yost did not deny the story. He said that no one has reported the incident in any way. The Dem. candidate is lying about his opponent, unchallenged by the interviewer without asking any probing questions.

  92. I agree.That's what men, real men anyway, do.

  93. Since when is support for murderous criminals an Australian value?
    6
  94.  @josealexi5141  It would be a huge mistake to think that either party supports fiscal policies that allow our economy to prosper. They both exist to feed public funds to their family, friends, and donors. Republicans talk the talk I like to hear. If they walked the walk more often, I wouldn't be so cynical about it.
    6
  95. Im not a fan of the death penalty. Cases like this make me think there are some times when it's the only just penalty.
    6
  96. Nailed it!
    6
  97. I heard a politician who insists on allowing unvetted criminals into their society, talking about how evil it is to protest policies that wreck the country. At the end he announces more laws that promote this brain-dead policy. Americans should watch as closely as we watch Canada.
    6
  98. The various replies are interesting. I did not intend a philosophic or linguistic question. Trying again: Since the big bang the boundaries of the known universe have retreated in all directions to a point very distant from us. The energy created at the bang has reached a finite distance. Within the sphere, (?) that contains all this energy, we know that there are various fields, gravitation, Higgs field, etc. My question is: Are those fields confined to space, or do they exist in an infinite universe in which the big bang happened? Is nothing (meaning lacking energy) and something non-existent, (meaning an impossibility like a perfectly spherical cube) the same thing?
    6
  99. Read more history. This is no surprise at all.
    6
  100. If I had one wish it would be that people stop being 'hyphenated' . You are an American. You are descended from people from Mexico, and you are American.
    6
  101. It odd when they accuse Israel of lack of restraint. Israel possesses the capability to convert Gaza into a big flat beach with melted sand. The fact that Israel allows any Hamas fighter to continue to live shows more restraint than Palestine deserves.
    6
  102. Parents: If your kid digs in the beach, make sure the hole is 3 times as wide as it is deep. Never, no never, permit a child in a hole deeper than their waist. The injuries from burial in sand can be horrific, made worse by being so preventable.
    6
  103. Congress never specifically authorized any of this spending, much less required it. What they did was authorize an appropriation to the department, so that the department would be allowed to spend the money as they wish. The legislature cannot give an agency power superior to that of the President.
    6
  104. I alternate between sympathy for an old warrior past his prime, and absolute disgust that America selected this fool.
    6
  105. Climate catastrophe proponents. Chicken Little.
    6
  106. Very professional reactions by many people doubtless saved lives. They got the bridge closed, alerts out, people getting their own organizations moving. All started before the collision. The Coast Guard's pan-pan wen out in under 4 minutes from the event. Good job by all.

  107. Ahh, c'mon man. That cant be true?! What did they debate? Best hot dog?

  108. Ol' Joe is right you know. His opponents ARE the ultra MAGA voters. In November this independent will vote with the MAGA crowd. So will lots of moderate independents.

  109. @Gunni1972Education in this country stopped years ago. About the same time the feds decided to fix education.

  110. Kinda like a Berlin Airlift in reverse. Way to go Joe.

  111. Just post some truth on twitter. You'll hear from them. Your forehead will sting from the self inflicted slaps, but you will see why they add up to only 30% or so.
    5
  112. It amazes me that our news people seem so surprised at how bad it can be if your city is under siege. Its not like city sieges are unknown in history. There are 3 solutions if you are under siege: Endure until rescued from outside; Attack and defeat the besiegers. Surrender under the most merciful terms you can get. Some form of the 3rd is the only one being offered, the only one available to Hamas, and alone will save lives in GAZA.

  113. DEI roll?

  114. You can't know the answer to a question you don't want to ask.

  115. Sam doesn't get that the melting pot is part of the culture. Call it a mosaic if you want but 2/3 of us are Europeans who came to be Americans and not anything else.
    5
  116. The people of your town have the power to elect, or not elect, these people. So to those people I'd say you voted in favor of all 6 people who voted to silence you. Who knows, maybe the opponents were worse. But elections have consequences. And the consequence of voting for democrats is on display in this video.
    5
  117.  @GripFreak  In November I'm going to vote. In the mean time, don't think your voice doesn't count. It does. I'm going to keep speaking up. As far as more direct action is concerned: "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under Heaven." The time to fight is when you can't win by speaking, not now, when we can.

  118. Hey! Why does Florida get to keep him? Did you call dibs? No fair! I'm tellin' Mom.

  119. The dispatcher did a much better job than many realize. But I wish she had added two simple statements to her response: "Police are on their way to (whichever, 7-11 or apt.)" and "Meanwhile, let me send them some information..." JMO, what callers want the most is some assurance that help is coming, and to understand why all the seemingly irrelevant questions. Still, very well handled call.
    5
  120.  @Plevins  So its not a total loss. But $2million of 30yr old tech drove away and the Russian crews walked home leaving $5million on the field. The T90 was destroyed by drones that cost about as much as an artillery round. So it was beaten by brand new tech, and 30yr old armor.
    5
  121.  @paulh1745  Lies. You are willing to repeat lies as long as it benefits a Democrat. Next you'll be yelling hooray for one party government. No one, not even the liars in his own administration, think Biden is honest, much less competent. Get ready for the Red Wave.
    5
  122. This is what Eisenhower warned us about. The military contractors depending on the good will of Congress. Congress keeps the wars going, and industry thrives. There must be a link there somewhere. 'Who benefits' is always a good question.
    5
  123. I was a Catholic kid in the mid 60s. I remember how embarrassed I felt when the put new lyrics to "Blowing In the Wind" so it could be sung at mass. Actual lyric: "The answer my friend is living in all men..." At a church that preached Jesus was the answer.

  126.  @logicbehindbars  In the construction industry I was state certified to deal with worker safety. Ditch diggers have been killed by cave ins that only buried them to mid abdomen. Much worse has happened to folks who dug into sand. That's why I post on this subject. I can't imagine standing on a beach while people franticly dig up your child. Gives me chills.

  127. It is impossible to prove a negative. Cawthorn made the allegations, its on him to offer proof.
    5
  128. You should know that this man's arguments are nothing more than a repetition of the opinions of Northern Democrat supporters of slavery. Some wars are worth fighting. Even the most well intentioned conflicts cause horrible actions by folks on all side.

  129. The thieves just wanted a car. What bothers me is 3 thieves, several shots, no hits, ineffective action to organize an arrest, they got away. Lets hope someone is arrested so we can watch their journey through the justice system.

  130. Thats one smart judge. She recognized the con and stopped it cold.

  131. I have to wonder if Iran's acceleration of its nuclear program is at all related to the pallets of cash we gave them, or the more recent release of more billions. One has to wonder why Democrat Presidents are so tolerant of Iran.
    5
  132.  @Valelacerte  I'm guessing politico didn't really know him. They thought he was a typical political appointee like they're used to. The plan was to hit him with gotcha questions so they could embarrass him in front of a hostile audience. Bad plan.

  133. Its his day off! Where else?
    5
  134. Astrium makes a lot more out of this event than it is. If you can look at the sky and recognize which star is brighter than it was last night you might recognize the event. The current brightness makes the star 'almost visible'. After the event it will be the same magnitude of thousands of other stars. Its interesting, and important to astronomers. But I doubt very many layman will ever see it.

  136. Wheat and corn are internationally traded commodities. If the supply is restricted anywhere in the world the result is increased prices for everyone in the world. If you add the fact that oil is also a commodity the same conditions apply. If energy costs more, the cost of producing and shipping products goes up and food prices rise. Putins war contributes to the problem, but he's only one of many reasons we see increased food cost.

  137. I remember reading about a Computer named HAL trying to correct errors that became apparent at a very bad time.

  138. That's the worst of it. Those were ordinary men.

  139. @ No, the video is a few days old, just recently posted. The creator probably posted it because of the news. Evidently the police had formed a little gang some time ago and have been running roughshod over people for a while.
    4
  140. Maybe thats why lots of Dems are talking about Mike Obama.

  141. I agree. If congress wants to spend money in Guatemala on trans surgery, Congress should vote on it, so we can connect their name with their actual beliefs, and not what they said while on campaign.

  142. These fighters, brave as they are, lack tactical training. Note they treat the walls of the house as cover. They act individually. They invite concentrated return fire by firing heavy weapons repeatedly from the same position. Typical of civilian militia. Russians must be poorly trained or highly unmotivated, or they would be making more progress.

  143. Video cry's out for narration. Why are so many civilians young pretty women? Why is that SS officer not being stomped into jelly? The soldiers seem content to be out of a war. Where and when was this shot?

  144. Its the discussion that offends authoritarians. The conclusion matters less than preventing any discussion at all.

  145. They mean NASA is out of the business of keeping Boeing and Lockheed (et al) out of the cost-plus development model. There are more than a dozen private companies building (at their own cost) all the space vehicles and equipment could ever want. NASA should move to paying for the use of transport and facilities, just like the whole world does business on earth.

  146. It just occurred to me to ask: Does Hunter's unwanted child also get Secret Service protection, or is this only for grandkids that get to visit the White House?

They are bad and people in charge protect victims. -The people, that is to say victims. They remain victims, or they must be criminals." If you protect yourself, you must be tried to see if you might be a criminal.

  191. Its a common practice. They destroy the meaning of words so they can say whatever they want. I heard an NPR reporter remind his listeners that we executed Japanese for torture. True enough, but the story was about Guantanamo and the terrorists held there. But, it wasn't torture that got them executed, it was the beheadings and crucifixions. They 'torture' the meaning of words like 'genocide' and 'torture' until they mean nothing.

  200. I am a Pa. independent who leans right, and so vote Republican more often than not. Barnettes opponent is likely to be Shapiro. Shapiro fought a good fight against child rapists in the church, and was instrumental in solving an ugly fight among health providers. I voted for him in his current office because of that. Not saying I'd vote for him, but he has lots of support. Barnette would have an uphill fight in Pa. I think Republicans should nominate someone who can win. It looks to me like the Dems will.

  201. I haven't heard this mentioned: A 5.56 round is supersonic beyond 200 yards, (I don't recall how far). The bullet will have passed the audience before they heard the shot.

They hired a fleet manager. She found that the bosses were using the cars, and the gas card, as personal vehicles. The contractor fired the fleet manager when the director complained that "she locked up the keys and cards".

Starlink, when fully operational, will accomplish the goal of universal access to the internet. Without spending a nickel of your tax dollars.

  215. Until the mid 20th century science was done by private persons exercising their personal interest, and soliciting assistance from rich people and royalty.

Enough to seriously challenge the way we use our resources.

When Obama was spending billions trying to push the Chevy Volt, Musk was making electric cars. When NASA could not get people to the ISS without paying Russia, he created SpaceX. That is why liberals hate Musk. They dont believe free people should be allowed to solve problems. They would prefer problems to be handled by ever growing and oppressive governments.

  236. That is staggeringly incompetent staff work. 1) Her staff released a report in the bosses name ahead of schedule and caught her by surprise. 2) The statement had two opposite intentions: to fool some people into thinking they're going to do something about shortages and prices, while assuring the base they have no such intention. 3) The secretary was utterly unable to explain it. You would think a Cabinet Secretary would be a bit more skilled at speaking off the cuff. She can read a position paper and deflect a tough question but thats the limit of her skill. They blame Trump. They know Trump recognized the unpopularity of off shore drilling. In 2018 oil futures were approaching zero. We were producing so much oil there was no good reason to have a fight over off shore leases. The Biden admin. is too incompetent to notice these facts, and too ideologically committed to carry out a useful plan, and too stupid to carry out their plan without stepping on their own genitals.

I no longer remember his exact words, but he defended "separate but equal" saying "colored" people were naturally unwilling to mix with Whites. My next door neighbor had a small diner/roadside truck stop. He was horrified at desegregation, and claimed that "colored people" would rather get their food to go, rather than sit by whites. Yeah, integration can be uncomfortable. The law doesn't care about comfort. The law is about equality, comfortable or not.

These action were blamed on their most treasured general, who they tried to arrest. His switch to Sparta cost Athens years of war. Socrates was condemned for corrupting the morals of the youth.

I was spared this conflict by a lucky draft lottery number. I would have gone if called, but was glad I wasn't called.

  290. While sailing past Denmark a supply ship sailed out to the Fleet, which instantly identified the freighter as a Japanese torpedo boat, and began firing. The ships in the van all started firing, some at other Russians. In the middle of the fray some ships reported they were in a mine field, at which point the rest of the ships began running away. As can be said of all Russian Naval events, then it got worse.

  299.  @Barbutt  The left is right when they say the constitution can change with the time. They are wrong when they say they can find new meaning in the old words. The constitution has about 1 amendment per 10 years of history. It can change with the time. But it requires a process whereby the large majority wants a change. It cant be changed by Congress and should not be changed by a judge, or any number of judges. Leftists know they are in the minority, and so they demand judges and Congress substitute themselves for the people.

  319. In 1972, I attended a tech school in Pittsburgh. My attendance was paid for by a poverty program. Near the end of the second year, a company contacted the school to advise of a job opening for an electronics tech. The school arranged for 3 of us to interview. It was my first job interview. The hiring manager looked at me and said "You attend 'xxx' school?" Then he said, "I didn't know they had white kids at the school." End of story, the guy carefully said, "We need to hire one of the students from this school, but we can't hire you." Turns out they made a deal with to hire a black person into the all white company to settle a threatened lawsuit. At the time, I understood why, but I still needed a job.

  324. Right wing people, like myself, are more likely to believe allegations of academic fraud. We do so because academia has ruined the American public education system from elementary to advanced degree, they have produced 'educated' people devoid of useful ideas. They have ruined industry and commerce with their idiotic idea about how to manage a work-force. Their feminists have ruined American families. Academics invented the idea that gender is fluid or meaningless. They deny the significance of chromosomes and evolution in order to support perverse sexual life styles. They change the definition of words to make those words fit a political narrative. They study racism, but ignore demographics, labeling whites as evil wherever whites predominate a field, ignoring that there are 5 whites for every one minority in the country and most of the difference is arithmetic, not racism. I despise American Academia as the worst plague ever visited on a successful society.

  325.  @kennytendo7255  where do you live that the power goes off every day. Or every week. Or every month? The average American loses power about twice a year.

There is a concern that we're abandoning generators that provide power reserves during high demand.

  336. Amercans, speaking generally, have a poor understanding of commodities markets. When you tell producers that we intend to restrict production it has an immediate impact on current production, making the existing supply more valuable. That raises the price today. Even purely socialist governments, like Venezuela, monitor demand, restricting production when retail prices are low. You cannot defeat the law of supply and demand by manipulating either consumption or production.

I am not allowed to stray outside the law, but otherwise I am free to use my resources for my benefit. Unless you want endless conflict, at some point you must admit that the past is gone, history is today's opinion and its time to move on from conflict. Your path suggests an endless search for oppressors as more 'victims of history' come forward, and conflict due to lack of result.

  383. Much as I admire the Senator and his very cogent questions, I can't help remembering that Congress had the power to decide these issues until they ceded their authority to the Executive Branch. And they have the power to take that authority back any time they choose. Since Congress has failed to act under either party's majority. All House incumbents, and a third of the Senate incumbents are up for election in November. I suggest we vote for as many new people as possible. This November, I'll vote based on what they did in office, not what they say they'll do. Until a majority of us do that we'll get the same as we've always gotten. Venal, corrupt, mendicants enriching themselves while the people suffer.

Thats how the Democrat Party sees "our democracy".

We are a republic, under a constitution, a union of States, each of which is a republic. Our constitution is what creates the democracy. It preserves democracy in all our daily lives. Every day Americans vote with their money, with their opinions, with religion, with the products we choose or reject, with where we prefer to live, and with whom we choose to associate. That is true democracy. The democrats are willing to permit a tyranny of the majority, which is precisely what the founders wanted to prevent.

Their leaders believe (or hope) Putin knows the Russian military is no match for NATO and hope he is sane enough to care. Imagine, our leaders, around the world intend to involve the US in another European war. This is insanity all around, and I don't see a good guy anywhere.

  465. No democrat will confront crime. Why? Because even criminals vote. Previously, criminals who haven't been convicted yet are presumed to be innocent, an important American value. If you arrest and convict these thieves, then they might not vote for your party. But just in case they do want to vote for you, you need to make sure they can't be identified at the polls. Finally, if you can't convince society that felons should vote, then just pass a law with your 51% that "rehabilitates and restores civil rights. Democrats will do anything to gain a majority. "Anything" includes normalizing crime, lunacy, addiction, criminality, and diddling our kids.

Its that, no matter how innocent the contacts, Biden did deliver tangible benefits in the form of government action that benefited the people he was in contact with. His son keeps getting his Burisma money, the prosecuter gets fired because Biden threatened to get aid withheld, Hunter is paying $50k a month in rent, and now we're feeding Ukraine a couple billion a month. Seems like a prima facia case of bribery, influence peddling, at least. Add in Garland, Wray et al over at the Democrat of Justice and its a bigger cover-up than watergate.

Criminal gangs, manned entirely illegal immigrants take over apartment complexes, ( but only a few, what's the big deal) plus Trump is a racist.

  501. Its a mistake to think Ambrose was writing history as an objective portrayal of those events. The book, and the TV show was about the men of easy company and how they experienced the war. No soldier in war ever knows the whole story. But they all remember how they felt as they endured the conflict, and that is the story told in Band of Brothers. The story about Compton at Bastogne is a case in point. The story illustrates how different men respond to extreme, continuing danger. Some become alcoholics, some morphine addicts, some hide, and some break down. Some freeze, and some run to danger. The soldiers remember it differently, and report different facts that confirm their opinion.

  528. It is not a war crime to cause the death of civilians while targeting Hamas military. What is a war crime is to station troops unmarked among civilians, or to secrete military hardware or troops within purely residential areas. Crossing a national border to committ atrocities is a specific war crime. Those civilians voted for Hamas, assist Hamas terror operations, get warnings before the strike, know from history that Israel will find and destroy those hiding places. Tell me: What is a civilian? A man and his sons get up in the morning, get their weapons out, kiss the wife and kids good bye, and go out on a mussion to behead 40 infants. They come home at night, secure that they are immune from justice because they sleep with civilians? The world has been pressuring Israel to tolerate this perverse situation as long as Gaza has been governed by either the PLA or Hamas.

  565. Medicare/Mdicaid is intended to help poor people pay for medical treatment. But did you know that only half the money is spent for your care? The other half is called "Pass Throughs", payments to organizations that help provide for health care. For example, The UPMC system bills medicare directly for doctors and equipment used and medicines given. Then they bill that much again just because they own the hospital. UPMC uses this money to buy and close regional hospitals and drive them to UPMC hospitals.

  580. The next time a crew gets into Starliner from ISS and rides it home will be the first time all those systems have to work together. NASA/Boeing method of manufacturing means that every single time it flys its the first (and for all but the capsule) only time it flys. Every flight after that is one shot and into the sea, so at best, its a test of that one article that one time. Even if each system is fully tested, what isn't tested is the work of hundreds of individuals, any one of whom might make a mistake that will never be found until the accident investigation. Full reusability of the entire ship and capsule is the only solution that ensures safety, and allows inspection of the entire stack after flight.

  635. I have been closely involved in 4 union organizing campaigns. I am not a supporter of unions, and I represented management in 3 of those campaigns. Once the NLRB decides to certify an election the company has a legal obligation under federal labor law to negotiate in good faith. Failure to do so can subject the company to serious penalties. No owner is obligated to accede to any union demand, but they have to talk. I was on the winning side in all 4 campaigns. What works is telling the workers the truth, 1 on 1, looking them in the eye. Tell them what a union can do and can't do. They will pick management's side every time.

An RV is a cheaply built house that you pick up and drive over hill and dale at hurricane wind speeds.

The solution is to get to space ourselves, investigate what's out there, and worry about UFOs when we have actual evidence.

The entire manufacturing sector collapsed. Recession set in. In the 70's the Arabs cutoff our oil supply and gas had to be rationed. I earned $1.85 an hour in 1975. By 1976 inflation reached beyond 10%. In 1980 the news reported on something called the misery index, (inflation rate plus unemployment) which hit 20%. Don't tell people we had it easy. We didn't.

My answer would be "I will uphold the law" and I will apply my own experience to my interpretation of the law." What honest human being could say otherwise? The vote is often, but not always on party line anyway. Biden has enough Democrats to nominate whoever he wants. There is no good reason for the nominee to evade the questions when answering honestly wouldn't make any difference to any Senator.

  750. They are DEMOCRATS! They believe in rule of the MAJORITY! Black people are no longer the largest minority group. Black concerns are now being subordinated by the party to the concerns of their biggest minority (hispanics) or their richest constituents (rich white people). White liberals tolerate and even celebrate crime in inner cities, undocumented workers who mow their lawns and build their houses, and the perverts, addicts, and parasites who make up "their democracy". Ordinary working blacks are being told to "Take a backseat on the bus, and we'll run over the evil Republicans."

Those people who don't want their President undermined by cabals of politicians, FBI, and dishonest media giants. You know, those people.

Negotiate is the cheapest, and when it works the most efficient. Surrender is out of the question. Fighting is bloody and expensive. It is also unpredictable. Americans will fight, but not 'til its time, and not unless we have to.

  770. Im white working class (retired). I dont presume to speak for people of color. But I have much more in common with working class black men than any set of liberal elites. Men who work jobs, live in committed relationships, support their own kids, and have well formed sense of right and wrong are all natural allies. We arent divided by race we are united behind a common understanding of what constitutes a well lived life.

  782.  rhdrivingslovenia6413  Stalin murdered more than 6 million people before the war started. Stalin enabled Hitler to attack Poland, and invaded Poland right along with Germany. He immediately ordered the deaths of thousands of Poles. It would take 10 books to completely detail Stalins evil. When you are as close in evil as those two its pointless to argue which was worse. Unless of course you admire one or the other, which, when you think about it, is pretty wrong itself.

We are $36.5 trillion in debt because Democrats have appropriated money to allies who immediately turn it back into bribes and campaign funds for Congress members.

They are liars, thieves, and more than one traitor named Biden who sold American foreign policy to Ukraine for big pallets of cash.

  788. Germany and Russia were equally ruined by Ww1. Germany held on to capitalism until NAZIs put the country on a war footing. Russia went straight to strict authoritarian Communism. The resulting differences in quality of life could not be more stark. Ironically, it was the socialist economy planning that denied Germany the ability to win the war. The result is inevitable destruction of both socialist systems. And yet nazis and communists promote the nonsense even today.

  809.  @bkjeong4302  Wrong. There is no reason to build a huge platform to fight other huge platforms. Thinking battleship were intended to fight other battleships was a mistake that many navies made. Its a mistake that caused them to put vast amounts of national capital into weapons systems that didn't pay for themselves before being sunk. Think of where they were actually useful. IJN battleships at Surigao Strait were destined as shore batteries, for use in Leyte. Effectively engaged by destroyers and pt boats FIRST. At San Bernadino Musashi intended as shore batteries. Or USS TEXAS at Normandy, or Yamato on its way to becoming a shore battery at Okinawa. Read 18th century sailing; Nelson at Egypt and Trafalgar used his ships against enemy battleships which were intended as shore batteries. Battleships did fight other battleships "of necessity" not necessarily of choice. But ever since First Rates had big guns, their most effective use was as mobile artillery platforms. For the ships raised at Pearl Harbor, they fired the vast majority of their rounds at shore installations.

Try this: If you had 36.5 trillion dollars on the Day of Jesus birth, and you started spending $20 million every single day since then, you would still have more than half your money today. Another way? 36.5 trillion dollars is more than the collected wealth of every millionaire and billionaire who ever lived. Another way? You would need to confiscate the wealth of over 10,000 billionaires to pay off the debt, just so we could balance the budget one year. And the next year we will be over a trillion dollars in debt.

  826. Is it surprising hospitals, Doctors, and big pharma invent and cure ever more syndromes and diseases? Government pays about 60% of all health care. What we have is a population that is told that every discomfort we feel is evidence of a disease process needing medical attention. And someone else will pay for your SSRI. We have installed a healthcare-government complex that mirrors the military-industrial and government-university complex. All of it is a scheme to mine the government for revenue, while enriching both the congressperson and the Wall Street oligarchs.

Both get what they want and gaslight the rest of America. A pox on both their houses.

  844. I, and many others, follow 'all things space' from around the world. I follow perhaps 20 or so internet channels devoted to such things. In no YOUTUBE video have I seen anything but respect and admiration for India's landing on the moon. I think the cartoon is a jab at western fat cats who got rich off American, European, and Russian tax money. Those are being challenged by private industry and others around the world, and they are losing the race.

  849. It should be apparent that Russia has achieved its primary goal and has shifted over to the defensive. They have entrenched themselves along a line that generally defined the conflict line between Ukrainian and separatist forces. They will now sell this war as a successful fight against Ukrainian oppression of their brother Slavs.

They are surrounded by hinterlands filled with patriots who are mad as hell. There is no need to fight. Organize sit down strikes along major routes between cities. Make communications impossible. Truckers, railroad workers, farmers, pipeline workers on strike can do a lot without ever doing anything remotely like insurrection. Just remember the rule "political protests". Keep reminding everyone that democrats never shut down a riot. The riots were called political protests and actually encouraged by Dem. politicians. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

  863. Our Republic has a constitution that assures democracy where it matters: not in elections, but in our daily lives. We vote. All day every day. We vote on where people should live, shop, eat, work, what religion we should practice. We voted on BETAMAX or VHS. We vote on whether we prefer Cable Tv or streaming. We vote on what shows and movies should be made. We vote on tech school or university. Democracy means the majority gets their choice. So, we choose Texas or California. We vote on Disney or Paramount. That's the democracy we need to protect: the democracy that allows us live our lives the way we prefer, not as a political party thinks we should.

  888. The basic economic reason for this is obvious: Police are paid by cities. Cities hire far more officers, and thus create a larger demand for qualified officers. Those cities have mis-managed policing to the extent that many quit in disgust. The most experienced retire, or leave policing. The same process of demonizing police make young people avoid police-work as a career. Increased demand for police officers, combined with reduced supply, causes the cost of policing to unacceptably high, but completely predictable levels. Progressive social policy accomplishing what is intended: Reduction of the effectiveness of policing to the advantage of the criminals.

  900.  @bryanrmcnair01  If course you are correct that a sphere is probably not the true shape if the cosmos. I intend the word sphere as a volume that is imaginable for the sake of the thought experiment. I can't think of a simpler shape that would be useful in posing the question. BTW, when they say "flat geometry", I think they mean that the inevitably curved space is so huge in all direction that the curved lines are virtually straight, deviating to a curve only over cosmic distances. I don't think there is general agreement as to the ultimate shape of the whole universe, is there? I consider that cosmologists say that every point in the universe started at the singularity (shape and size are meaningless) and receded equally from the center. That implies a sphere (in 3 dimensions.)

  910. Why should Europe arm for war? What he's saying is that Europeans are panicked that they might not be able to count on America to rescue them from another World War. Especially an ill advised war where America has no skin in the game at all. Ukraine is at a stalemate. This war cries out for a negotiated settlement. Trump promises to support peace talks, and intends to muscle both sides to get the talks started. If that frightens you, you might be a war monger.

  911. Democrats pretend to care about people. They don't. They care about winning elections, because they are Democrats. In the 1970's the Democrats abandoned the white working class in favor of left-wing politics. Now they are preparing to abandon the black working class, by replacing it with hispanics. Hispanics are the larger minority group, and when the generation of US born hispanics become the most important voting bloc, their interests will become Democrat Party principle. Because they are DEMOCRATS!

Our elected officials and the bureaucracy have effectively claimed ownership of these resources and denied them to American citizens who own them. They then use that power to decide who will be permitted access to these resources, and become millionaires by extorting money from Citizens who want to develop those resources. Your country no longer belongs to you, but is owned and controlled by the majority party.

Don't know the details. Pretty soon they were told to stand-down and ignore the target. Later my Dad told me he finally realized these were U2 flights. He didn't know about the U2 until Gary Powers got shot down.

They call every change they notice "climate change". Then, since it's "climate change", they assume the right to make rules about it. What they want is power over more and more of the economy and over our lives.

You can guard yourself against terrorists without disassociating with a Muslims. The religious inclusion in civil rights reflects the first amendment as well as a culture that intentionally excluded Catholics and Jews. The rise of virulent anti-semitism argues for vigilance in protecting religion as a civil right.

  1007. If anyone actually wanted to transition to renewables, the feds would buy all the renewable energy available, and use it to fuel charging stations. They would provide the electricity to charging stations at discount prices. The charging stations could be offeted along interstates, with the station operator being given exclusive territory. The more road miles they cover, the larger would be their territory. Spending money on building renewable energy plants only assures that someone will build it, but won't worry about efficiency.

The Oilers played their best game of the year, won the game and put the steelers in. The steeler players all kicked in and bought fancy briefcases for the oilers players.

  1034. There is a way in which you could think of this as correct. Biden has convinced American oil companies that research, development, test wells, investing in upgrading old equipment are all a waste of money. Therefor they reduce spending on those things. Second, by creating an artificial shortage, they increased the value of existing wells. So, lower costs and increased revenues are bound to raise profits. It is so obvious that one might suspect a lot of democrat politicians hold oil stocks.

They get the purple haired feminists telling them that Mr. and Mrs. middle America love left-wing ideas, or at least they would if we understood our own privilege. Since everyone that gets hired has to be approved by the progressives in the HR department, the CEO ends up thinking that most Americans think like the twits they hired to manage their business. Disney, Target, Bud Light, CMT, MLB, ESPN, and the NFL have all suffered from this apparent disconnect between middle America and progressive ideology.

  1062. Sub-contractors absorb all of Phillips financial risk by assuming all the liability for the sub-contractor's work. Large companies hire contractor work force for 2 reasons: - The contractor assumes liability for their workers actions on the job. -The labor cost is, at a minimum, 10% less because the contractor pays FICA, unemployment and workers compensation. The labor savings can be as much as 65%, if one compares a contractor willing to use undocumented workers to a unionized labor force. That in itself explains much of why Phillips got a slap on the wrist. The contractors may well be broke or disappeared before they pay a fine.

Both govt and industry wants to stay away from genuine solutions because that kills the goose that lays the golden egg.

My proposal ended with 2 departments, both of which included male, female, white, black, hispanic and asian. My proposal passed several reviews but was rejected by the HR VP. Her reason was that the change would "destroy the diversity in Frank's group!" I remember saying "diversity?" and her saying "obviously". I don't think she meant it ironically. I think she assumed that diversity just meant preferring black over other races.

  1091. If you're not from PA. let me give you some context. Pa is 3 distinct regions: Philly and most of Eastern PA are eastern liberals, with a solid but small Republican leaning minority. Western Pa, Pittsburgh to Erie is basically Union workers and their families, small business, working class. The Democrats history of supporting unions and union members are instinctively Democrat. Central Pa has the most counties, and the fewest people, about 16% of the population. It is farm, forest, drilling for gas, mining for coal country. My prediction is that Trump has earned a majority of the working class vote. He'll carry Western Pa by a small margin. Trump will get between 75 and 90% of the central Pa vote. My county was 86% Trump in '16, and around 80% in '20. Eastern Pa leans Harris. We will not get those counties vote totals for perhaps day after Nov.5, but they will show Harris ahead at the end, by a small margin. If the Democrats think the statewide vote is close, the Eastern counties are where the vote counts will be screwy. If not close, they won't bother and Trump wins PA.

The other 80% see the iceberg and wonder who is going to turn the ship. The crew tells them not to worry the ship is insinkable.

  1149. All through the seventies politicians espoused the no price gouging anti-supplier position while continuing a campaign of deficit spending. Here are the inflation results 1976-1980, the Carter years: 1976- 6% 1977-7% 1978- 8% 1979-13%. Wage and price controls, control of the oil markets, punitive taxation of profits were the democrats entire program. Harris' plan is identical to that plan. Control of prices produces shortages by discouraging investment in business, and encourages investment in purely speculative financial instruments. Shortages respond to the law of supply and demand. The result is recession combined with problematic increases in unemployment, while continuing the inflationary spiral. Nixon, Ford, and Carter all pursued this course. By 1978, the mainstream press were giving daily reports on "The Misery Index; a statistic that measured inflation plus unemployment. In that index, the Misery Index exceeded 20% according to most calculations. The economists called this "stagflation". The repudiation of these insane policies during the Reagan years produced real economic gains for all segments of society which lasted right up to 2008.

She is highly respected for her role. Largely because of her efforts the British Empire transitioned colonies to British Commonwealth countries. That allowed Great Britain to maintain the benefit of their links to those colonies without the oppressive imperialism. Since then all British leaders respect her opinions and her position. Thats my opinion anyway.

If the upper masts go "by the board, the lower masts should remain standing. The mystery to me is why they didn't know they wouldn't clear the bridge, and why they sent sailors up those masts when the ship headed for the bridge.

  1193.  @ararat4943  What many people ignore is that the reason these political solutions that divide people are put in place to keep different ethnic groups from killing each other and dragging the greater powers (Its always Russians, Germans and west Europeans, and the Turks,) tilting towards one or another ethnic group. These different ethnicities speak different languages, eat different foods, attend different churches, and hero worship ancient aggressors and kings. None of them are interested in giving up historical feuds in favor of peaceful co-existence. Azerbaijan is a great example. Its conflict with Armenia is over a tiny region where one is surrounded by the other, and they're both arguing over boundaries decided for them by one of the great powers (Turkey I believe), and they've never accommodated themselves, nor are able to negotiate a better solution. So, they fight. These fights are always vicious, aimed at civilians, and include random ethnic based atrocities.

Then, when that wasn't reducing imprisonment, just stop arresting people. I'm glad the Oakland NAACP is now demanding something effective be done. I'd bet most members just wanted to be safe; From criminals and from racist cops. Yes, its a small change, but a good one.

  1247. Democrats did what they always do; anything it takes to craft a majority, pander to the disparate elements, and attack whoever is left over. Rural people are about 16% of the electorate. If they hold the cities they don't need the rural vote. They can't pander to their city 'identity allies' and keep the rural vote. Thus, rural people become deplorable, or rely on guns and religion, or are uneducated. And you wonder why you lost the rural vote?

  1250. Jmo: The fight for live-able cities is lost. More than 80% of the population live in urbanized areas. Those cities are increasingly run by Democrats who profit mightily by the rampant criminality in their cities. These criminal and parasitic local politicians become the people who occupy the state and federal congress and the bureaucracy at all levels. 80% of the population tolerates it, and here we are.

There is always someone on final and someone else taking off. I don't believe they were looking at the wrong plane. I think she was too high, too fast, and thought she'd clear behind the traffic.

  1288. Handling Hydrogen without dangerous leaks is extremely challanging from an engineering standpoint. The molecule is much, much smaller than the space between any gaskets used to keep the H2 where it belongs. Keeping valves and seals from leaking and pooling the gas in dangerous places is virtually impossible. Doing so in a vehicle that has repeated stress from flight operations, and doing so in a way that permits routine operations seems unlikely to me.

That picture alone showed why young white men and not a few women voted for him.

  1297. we need a total national overhaul of our education system. I propose that all tax dollars collected for education be converted into vouchers of equal size for every student. Using the voucher, the student would select a school, public or private, and use the voucher for tuition and books. Successful public schools have all their facilities already and would profit from the vouchers, provided they convince parents they are safe and effective. This would give the people, for the first time, assurance the schools work for the benefit of students, and not administrators, school boards, and unions.

The Empire contained 25% of the land mass and 30% of the worlds population and an economy the equal of America. American production was not merely fortunate in its weather. Britain's difficulty with manufacturing is a direct result of Britains decision to prevent colonies from being able to manufacture. I hear the weather is nice in Capetown SA, too bad there weren't a dozen or so steel mills.

When the UN voted partition, the Arabs abandoned their treaty obligations and attacked. The refugees bravely ran away, expecting the Arabs to win. And the war has continued for 75 years, when, during that entire time all they had to do is recognize Israel, and their own treaty obligations. Hamas has no interest in peace, and they will NEVER allow Palestine to have any homeland because they serve IRAN and not Arabs.

The NSA automatically listens to every overseas call, and by preset parameters, records selected calls. The preset parameters may include such things as particular persons or companies. It is impossible to believe they would not take note of calls between any American and anywhere in such a troubled region as central Europe. The NSA also cooperates with Federal law enforcement, and reports suspicious communication between citizens in America and any foreign countries. These records should be subject to a Congressional subpoena immediately.

But spending on physics and astronomy has not produced near as much in the way of fundamental discoveries. Physics is 40 years removed from real progress. JWST is showing how startling ignorant about the origin of the universe. Maybe physicists and mathematicians need to get out of academia and government and back to the library with pen and paper.

  1385. Biden bragged in a debate with Trump that he intended to end US energy independence. Half of you seeing this, and many of you commenting, voted for the fool despite this. If you voted for Biden and now find it hard to buy gas or food, just remember "Orange man bad, must vote for Biden"

  1388. As much as I enjoy watching the sanctions having an effect we need to remember that in history, sanctions are as likely to cause war as prevent it. If Putin thinks sanctions are working, he may see them as an existential threat to Russian economy. He sees NATO actively supporting Ukraine, sees his economy collapsing. He sees his people becoming dissatisfied with his war. He has to change course, but which way? His military is no match for NATO. Battlefield nuclear arms could decide the issue, but only after millions of deaths. He may well gamble that the west has no stomach for another global conflict.

  1393. 4 years of millions of illegal immigrants but Trump is a fascist. Four hundred thousand known criminals allowed to enter the country as long as they primise to cone for their tefugee status hearing, but Trump says mean things. 4 years of inflation, but Trump is a fascist. Four years of funding foreign wars, but Trump is a war-monger. (A fascist one at that). Four years of pedophile teachers and pornography in school libraries, but Trump is divisive. Criminal gangs, manned entirely illegal immigrants take over apartment complexes, ( but only a few, what's the big deal) plus Trump is a racist. You and I are deplorable, garbage, clinging to our guns and religion. We are obviously racist, homophobic, misogynist, xenophobes. The proof? We prefer Trump to Harris.

  1398. The whole covid event was an exercise in politicians taking maximum advantage of a real emergency. From the moment the Postal Workers Union said they wouldn't be able to deliver mail in ballots, (In January '20) it was obvious that the Dems planned to change election laws, by emergency order of state governors.

  1416. When scientists are concerned about rising CO2 in the atmosphere they are dealing with effects on the environment. When they say "climate change" they are merely supporting authoritarian government using its power to regulate every aspect of your life. The climate will change over time. It always has. You cannot stop climate 'change' no matter what you do. We solved the ozone problem with science and targeted limited prohibitions on the chemical cause, not because of any giant 'Paris Accord' nonsense.

  1417. Woodruff says "reporting says". So Woodruff is willing to repeat an unfounded lie, but unwilling to check the source before reporting the lie.

  1419. Latino immigrants who came here before 2016 had reason to hope that Trumps crackdown at the border would force a political compromise that included a pathway to citizenship. Bidens policy created such a wave of illegal entry that the compromise they hoped for was now impossible. Undocumented people can't vote, but their legal friends and relatives do. I believe that by trying to pander to the Latino population, the Democrats have assured themselves of loss of some Latino support. Not all perhaps, but enough to counter the heavily Democrat cities, and give greater influence to suburban/rural votes.

  1423. Menckens opinion was shared by Nobel Prize winning President Theodore Roosevelt. After leaving office TR published an account of a months long safari in Africa. His comments about African people were astounding in their overt racism. He stated that it would be the white man's burden to develop Africa and raise the Africans to "OUR" level. As an admirer of TR i was shocked and disappointed.

  1434.  @SurvivingOutHere  Israel has proposed a 2 state solution that included a Palestinian State. The offer has been made at least 5 times. The Abraham Accords, signed by Israel and Arab Nations assure a Palestinian Homeland. Few Americans are aware of the possibility of peace because American news media refuses to report on that Accord. They don't cover that story, because the Abraham Accords were signed during Trump's term, and they don't want him to get any credit. Regardless of the situation in Gaza, the deliberate invasion of a neighboring state by armed troops for the sole purpose if murdering civilians is a war crime. Calling it anything else exposes all of us to violence at the hands of any group of thugs with a grievance against anyone.

  1451. American here. What the world has to understand is that America can not fund this war. Next year, the interest on the money we borrow will exceed our total tax revenue. We will not mortgage our future (again) to keep Europeans from killing each other. The war is a stalemate. Ukraine cannot expel the Russians unless NATO does it for them. We will not risk WW3. Russia can hold its current line against Ukraine indefinitely. Therefor the pragmatic course is an immediate cease fire. Ukraine can go its own way, or Europe can pay for the fight, which I hope you will win if it comes to it.

  1467.  @Laura_Norder-Vanity_Unfair  Respect or reverence are not earned by death. They are earned by actions in life that merit the terms. You don't gain respect by dying. Victimhood is not honorable in itself, it is sad and undesirable. For that reason we draw distinctions between a victim who dies heroically, or innocently, or as the result of criminal behavior. We treat the first with honor, the second we mourn, and the third we bury with as little fuss as possible. Ps: Spell check says bite me.
