That would be great if they paid even their small share. They do not. They instead rely on the US to bankroll the military. Which we have stupidly done for decades with no end in sight. They charge us to rent bases in their countries to defend them. Then when we try to keep Iran from nuking...

Hopefully there is an announcement tonight that the US is pulling out of NATO or substantially downsizing its involvement. That is long overdue. I'm sure the establishment forces that are bankrolled by that process won't allow that to happen but that would be great. The expenditures to defend...

The Dodgers were selling a $74 Ohtani soda cup at the games. When they were criticized, they lowered the price to $68.99.

Laurel and Hardy were great. They had a sense of humor.

The first summer-like day. It was in the 80s here yesterday. This has been a long, cold winter.

I actually couldn't believe this one. Spain apparently allowed a healthy 25-year-old woman to be "euthanized." She apparently suffered from mental illness and her father tried to intervene on her behalf, but they still allowed her to die. We are living in a different age.

I guess the Dodgers will only win 161 this year. It's doubly painful to lose to the "Guardians." Imagine being ashamed to be called the Indians.

CNN was breathless to report that average gas prices today exceeded $4! I must have missed that reporting that when gas prices were $5 or more during Biden's disastrous administration. Meanwhile the TSA ticker disappeared. It's not news unless it "dirty laundry." We can do the Innuendo We can...

I can't take serious people who dress up as giraffes or dinosaurs. Even if there are a lot of them. It doesn't take a crystal ball to see who these people are. There is rarely a single minority in their midst. The demographic is older white libs, with a few younger (mostly paid to be there)...

I don't think profiling is necessarily an all or nothing tool if it includes factors beyond race. If someone is being targeted solely based on race, that should never be permissible. There are circumstances, however, where profiling in conjunction with other red flags makes sense. For...

I think this will play out as follows. Iran will make some concessions. Trump will latch onto these as a reason to end the conflict. Iran will bide its time and renege on these points. This will have to be revisited in a few years. Like Iraq and the WMD inspectors. About a 60-40 chance...

The amazing thing is that although Congress has almost zero approval rating, the incumbents get re-elected over and over again. They have some advantages like getting the party nomination in the first place and access to donations but even so you might think there comes a point at which their...

These are the Martha Vineyard's types. White, college educated liberals who can espouse all manner of nonsense because it has no implications for their own lives. There are no illegals or homeless people allowed into their neighborhoods. After the protest, they can knock off for a fancy lunch...

Paying to watch is inevitable. Too much money on the table. The money always wins out.

I haven't seen too many NBA teams playing defense lately. It's a run and shoot three-pointers league. The top five teams in the west including the two teams with the best record in the NBA are averaging over 115 points per game.

I guess no one is doing that since the Lakers have won 11 out of the last 12. I'll take 40 points a game from anyone and take my chances on the opponent having a player who can average 41.

It is nice that we can have some a respectful discussion. It's increasingly rare that anyone can do so when there are differing views. Not sure why it "does not look" like the US is part of NATO. The US bankrolls NATO. It would not exist in any meaningful way without the US. If anything...

If you can average 40 per game, I'm not sure that you need to play defense. How many NBA championships did Barkley win?

The MLB baseball season in like Napoleon's campaign in Russia. It goes on and on and on. A marathon. You never know what is going to happen. A few injuries and the whole season goes off the rails. Teams can go into a funk. The odds of a three peat must be very small. I do like the roster...

I'm old enough to remember the hostage crisis under Carter who showed weakness and unleashed decades of terrorism and barbarism on the world. It's unfortunate that we have to live in the midst of such people who create these situations. That results in hard decisions having to be made. The...
