For several weeks, I could not post on the forum or had substantial lag time. It was almost impossible to do so while logged in but not when logged out. Then that mysteriously stopped. My "lagging" thread noting this was deleted when the problem stopped without explanation. Now I can't...

Trump might just put a cork in the bottle on the straits with a selective blockade and declare victory. Allow only those oil tankers that are going to our allies (not many) and blockading the rest. That would twist the cojónes of the Chinese who rely on oil from this region. Turning this to a...

I would have more sympathy for him and due process if he had shown the same courtesy toward Trump. Instead it was "believe the women" and "release the files" but just not for himself. Good riddance. That might mean Katie "Karen" Porter becomes the next governor of California. As though those...

Trailer Park Boys is fantastic. One of the funniest shows that I've ever watched. Old Mr. Lahey was as funny as it gets. I actually shook hands with Adam West once. Strange dude but he nailed Batman.

We have already wiped their leadership out. They don't care. They just killed 40k of their own people. We are not dealing with rational people. Things would never have gotten to this point if they were capable of acting with reason and logic. Instead they are fanatics.

We don't have to guess about Iran's mindset. The US is threatening to take them back to the stone age and that is having no impact. They are fanatics. Fanatics do not rely on reason and logic to make decisions. They are willing to go down with the ship. They may even desire to do so. Iran...

That is correct. They don't care what happens to their own people or they wouldn't have murdered thousands of them. Imagine a strategy based on the hope that fanatics who have already vowed to destroy Israel and the US won't do it. They will suddenly become reasonable. Not very reassuring.

Dan Levy. He was hilarious on "Schitt's Creek." Another great show on Netflix "Big Mistake."

Chuck Schumer on Obama's Iran nuclear deal. Sounds a lot like Trump. "Every several years or so a legislator is called upon to cast a momentous vote in which the stakes are high and both sides of the issue are vociferous in their views. Over the years, I have learned that the best way to...

The season is too long. They will never do it because of the money, but the baseball season should be limited to no more than about 130 games. There are also too many teams. About ten or so should be eliminated. They are like the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters. No way to be...

The poor people of California. Their current governor has driven the state to ruin. The candidates on both sides are even worse. It is karma, however, to see Swalwell's political career go down like the Titanic. That leaves the intensely unlikable Katie Porter and nutty Steve Hilton as the...

38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia by Phillipe Sands. Fairly interesting account of Pinochet's arrest. It's a bit disorganized but given that I knew next to nothing about the subject matter, it makes for an interesting story.

They are something else but I don't take any issue with any country doing what is in its own self-interest. That's a lesson we haven't learned. We are the ATM for the world.

I commented in response to your post. You expressed some irritation that I had directed my response to you who had posted the link. And I said if you take issue with someone reponding to your posts, you shouldn't post it. Nothing at all about a rule that you can't post anything. That's very...

The hype and interest about the NFL draft is becoming absurd. It was a genius move by the NFL to market this but there is something almost creepy about the level of fan interest. You can see the entire results the next day rather than suffering through hours of talking pundits and strutting...

Are you really criticizing Trump for eliminating taxes on most tips and social security recipients when they were all previously taxed? That is strange logic. Do you oppose excluding the wealthier recipients and want them to pay no such taxes? Under the Dems, these would have been taxable for...

The passing of Davey Lopes is sad news. He was part of the iconic Dodger infield of the 70s. Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey.

A new season of "From." Starting soon.

Predictably, many of those who were claiming Trump was about to commit a war crime are now complaining that he capitulated to Iran by not bombing them. It would be humorous in any other context. One of the pundits on MSNBC or whatever they call themselves was claiming that if the downed US...

Trump's interaction with the kids at the Easter egg hunt was hilarious. Telling them his autograph was worth $25k on ebay and that Biden's signature was auto penned. Then explaining to them what an autopen is while they stare on in amazement. Classic Trump. He also took credit for one of the...
