The Hall of Fire

Or he was deliberately going off script - take your pick!

Yes, a very excellent article. Will be reading some of the links he gives at the end of it when I have more time. I really don't know as much as I'd like about the history of the Israeli -Palestinian conflict

Horrible, N.E., just horrible.

Given how complex the politics of the area are, I have zero faith that a U.S.M.C. general is going to be of any use whatsoever.

The strange things you see on YouTube! :shock: :shock: While viewing a video from 1977, where Frank Sinatra was subbing for Johnny Carson, I saw a video off to the side featuring a familiar face. The caption was something like 'the awful truth about the U.S. government everyone needs to know'. I cou...

Just had to share this! Shared by a Jewish friend on FB: So this just happened: there are Italians singing Hatikva at the Arch of Titus in Rome, which is lit up in the colors of the Israeli flag. For anyone who doesn’t understand the symbolism, the Arch of Titus is a 2,000 year old arch that the Rom...

No, no it doesn't. Hamas uses live civilians as human shields and dead ones as fundraising images, regardless of their being Israeli or Arab. It's Israel that's expected to care about Palestinian civilians. And it should! I hope it does, even after this. BREAKING: Up to 250 people may have been kil...

Yes, nice to see that! Is there anything in particular that's triggered the Hamas attack against Israel?
Or did they just choose this time because it's the high holidays?

Oops! Fixed it! With many people accusing Biden of being a Communist, I can see that being a problem. They'd say worse things about a third party, which likely would be even more liberal than the Democrats. (Political analysts are saying the Democrats' politics are what used to be considered mainstr...

. I have a cousin who voted for Jill Stein in 2016, reluctantly voted for Joe Biden in 2020, and now says that if the choice is between Trump and Biden, he won't vote. He complains a lot about the two-party system, but he won't do anything realistic to try and change it. It's just such lazy thinkin...

Forgive me if I'm getting too cynical, but no doubt this will do nothing to stop the gun nuts claiming 'Biden's trying to take away our guns!'

Just read the article - she hasn't been at Penn for over a decade, yet they are claiming her as 'one of their own'!
I'd be pissed off as hell!

Re: Q-Anon Shaman's suggestions:
Mandatory drug testing...oh, now THAT certainly would be interesting!
I could get behind some of those suggestions. I don't see age and term limits as a bad thing. And definitely, fines and expulsion for insider trading!

Rebuke accepted, Frelga. The local news media has been focusing on the things that are happening close to home. And when such an embarrassing thing happens right in your own country, it get a lot of press. I was unaware the blockade had been broken, and also had not seen the most recent reports abou...

...and the lawyer who made you pay his full fee up front can't stop smiling."

Smart man!

:( :( I definitely feel sorry for the man, having to cope with this at his age. :( Yes, some of the eastern European countries were in a difficult spot during WWII. I remember my modern history teacher saying this about Poland: Poland has a nice choice: Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. It's like sa...

Right. But apparently a lot of people are assuming he's guilty, and so much hate is being directed at him, he's thinking he'll have to leave the country (which you know already...)

Okay, have found out Hunka was a member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician). And it's quite possible he's guilty of war crimes: Formed in 1943, it was mainly employed in the repression of Soviet, Polish[5] and Yugoslav guerrilla partisans.[6] The division took part in the ...

Not me. I can stream YouTube videos on my smart TV, and watched a three part YouTube movie the other day. There were ads, but I could skip them after the first one, and they weren't very long - 30 to 60 seconds.

I don't get ads on YouTube on my computer, but I have AdBlock installed.

David McCallum, best known for playing Illya Kurayakin in the Man From UNCLE, and Dr. 'Ducky' Mallard on NCIS has left us at the age of 90. :cry: :cry: As a long-time fan of his, I will miss him very much. Most people aren't aware he was a very talented musician as well as an actor. His father was t...

I remember seeing pictures at the start of the Ukraine invasion, where civilians were blocking tanks by standing in front of them and refusing to move. The Russian soldiers did not try to run them down. You can be a soldier and not become a monster. But all too often, war forces soldiers to do thing...
