    Bumping before it gets buried on page three.

    Well on the bright side, probably better to learn these lessons in a conflict with Iran than with China. Though if anyone read The Kill Chain, I think it covered some of the things we are experiencing right now. IT was published in 2020.

    Tracking. IIRC Vance was the lone dissenter in the Oval Office on this current operation. Was he trying to backdoor a deal to score some political points? Ah the intrigue. Maybe one day it will turn into a Paramount+ or better yet end up on BritBox in a more highbrow production.

    Is this because Israel and Vance are not alligned?

    We are a nation that has given license to snake oil salesmen, the supplement industry, chiropractors, and faith healers just to name a few. Should we just add conversion therapists to the lot? Of course this is mostly tongue in cheek. I have nothing against chiropractors. All that being said...

    Maybe, I am showing my naivete but this decision seems to be of much smaller impact than what some would suggest. I have not read the opinion just some news articles and your post. I would think Colorado (and other states) could attack this is through licensure or medical boards without...

    Why do South Carolinians keep voting for Madam Lindsey?

    1. The guy has a huge war chest. Anybody taking him on better have money and the political game to match. 2. The guy (his team) does what they were voted to do. They take care of constituents. His state office is pretty responsive. Personal anecdote, I have to reach out to his office on...

    Need to get my eyes checked. Read that as Starship Troopers. I was like "Who the FU<K was Steve Lemme in Starship Troopers?" Figured it out on the fourth read through.

    Damn it. Just like that it is moved. Bring on the furies. Not to be confused with furries. Those are two different things.

    @GDead_Tiger wait this is not you? I am feeling somewhat conflicted. Is it relief or disappointment if not you?

    Islands would seem a stupid play for me. Just because they are there for the taking doesn’t mean one should take them. Unless you like being goldfish in a barrel. I can imagine every inch of soil being plotted on a map for artillery drones, missiles, rockets, hand, grenades, slingshots, and pop...

    Stability to the region preferrably with regime change in IRAN and return of human rights to the citizens of Iran. A man can dream. Other than that - what else was accomplished? Not trying to be snarky but if in the end the lasting impact was the killing of the various leaders of Iran...

    My guess would be that this is propaganda designed to put pressure on US to negotiate.

    I'm hoping what we are seeing is just reflections of lighting fixtures. If not enjoy the fireworks.
