I see these charges and claims about outside agitators all over. There is never a name or an address. Just finger pointing at mysterious people, who come out of nowhere when there's upheaval, and then disappear when the upheaval subsides. Hmmm A few more things I find strange: - How is it...

As a born and bred southerner, with deep southern family roots, I find your above comment reprehensible and grossly ignorant. But then again, sure, maybe that bathroom at the mini mart was a perfect symbol for the entire region. I’ve also lived, as an adult, in the Midwest (3 different states)...

I’ve zero qualms with wishing anyone, especially veterans, a happy Memorial Day. But, just to be clear: Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who had died while...

Perhaps what really bothers me is the class warfare tone of his posts. Implying that selfish/greedy #^$*#^&$# owners have blood on their hands and deserve to be stripped of their wealth so that others may merely survive. AKA socialist drivel.

I understand that. The issue is the underlying message. Remember all those movies where the "Military Industrial Complex" is the big bad wolf? There are now plenty of people who buy into that theme, regardless of the company in question. Repeat a sarcastic "lie" enough and it becomes...

Show me one owner, just one, who has expressed the sentiment that it will "be ok" if fans die. Ill wait. Gosh, so you also dont believe in individual responsibility? Hmmmm Millions and billions dont fall from the sky. Even the uber rich have to earn it. Every day. You think maybe a few oil...

Cynic much? So tell us. Are players greedy when they hold out, threaten to switch teams or play hard ball via their agent? What about the people who work at the stadium? Dont they want the highest pay they can get? Do the refs give their "excess income" to charity? Do the companies buying the...

Inside tidbit: Anson Mount graduated from Sewanee, aka The Univeristy of the South, also my college alma mater, a small liberal arts school located in the mtns of Tennessee. He matriculated after me so we are not acquainted. He is not a lot younger than me, but he is definitely younger. At...

{From the 5/9/20 Oped Page of WSJ} Putin’s Myths About the Soviets and World War IIThe Kremlin obscures Stalin’s cooperation with Hitler. The final defeat of Nazi Germany 75 years ago closed the bloodiest theater in humanity’s most violent war. Nowhere was the cost of the conflict higher than...

63? Good lord. That’s still ridiculously young. I counsel people on retirement finances for a living. If you’re in good health you better have a nice sized portfolio to live off SS and savings for 30+ years. Also, my experience is that most people are better off, mentally, working for well...

“I'm just going to let the clock run on the rest of my life while I sit alone with my hobbies.” That sounds wonderful -really?

Its humorous all the articles that come immediately after the draft, purporting to rate or grade the performance of each team's picks. Meanwhile, each player follows his unique career path. Some surprise to the upside, some to the downside. A few are stellar from the get go. Some get better...

Some examples of might Russian military might! 🤪🤪🤪🤪

How did the Soviets lose in Afghanistan? - Gorbachev announced that Soviet troops would begin to be pulled back. They completed it in mid'89. Since Soviet Union pulled back their troops abandoning their mission to establish a friendly rule in Afghanistan, it was loss for them. In a year, the...

Just some of the horrible crimes engaged in by Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Afghanistan (1979–1989) Soviet–Afghan War § Destruction in Afghanistan An Afghan village destroyed by the Soviets in the 1980s Scholars Mohammad Kakar, W. Michael Reisman and Charles Norchi believe that the Soviet...

https://www.voanews.com/europe/women-recall-hell-soviet-war-afghanistan Outtakes While the war grew unpopular at home, Soviet troops and support staff in Afghanistan mostly focused on survival rather than politics. While Afghans largely saw Moscow's involvement as a hostile foreign...

What say we start a thread on this conflict? It’s really an amazing story. A motley array of rag tag citizen soldiers chases out one of the supposed mightiest armies in the world. Below are a few stats I found of interest from Wiki. noteworthy: See how many Russian helicopters were destroyed...

Whatdya mean? Today's players are very loyal: To their "personal brand" and, of course, the almighty dollar! Do not be misled. PS: The epitome of this kind of "loyalty" in pro sports is LeBron.

Agreed. Rarely have I so disliked a character as much as Alpha. Her death will make me a little more interested in the show. Now, I just wish theyd dispense with the ridiculous notion that a nine year old girl is a wiser and better fighter than most adults.

The WD is living up to its name, and heritage. It was born from a comic, and basically can’t escape its origins. Beta was wearing a Kevlar vest when basically no one has a working gun anymore? Judith can confidently shoot a 44 magnum round, despite having almost no ammo with which to practice...
