Next year’s Democrat presidential nominating convention will be in Chicago..How did the GOP force them to do that?.The Dems picked it..Yeah, right. Like they would be that stupid. .Speaking of stupid, what’re you gonna tell me next? That they will nominate 82-year-old Biden whom only 33% of Democrats want to run again?.The only other announced Dem is RFK, Jr., whom Wikipedia describes thus:.an American environmental lawyer and author known for promoting anti-vaccine propaganda and conspiracy theories.

I keep finding myself pointing out that no one is ever ready for world war. Not even the Nazis or Japanese in 1939. And they worked very hard to BE ready, but even then they were not. GOP keep saying that we are not ready for war with China. That is no doubt encouraging the Chinese to start one..We were flat on our back in the Depression when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Far less prepared than we are now..Lamenting that we are not prepared serves what purpose? When did we get ready for a war before it started? Revolutionary War?...

I continue to marvel at the agida over AI. Politicians want to regulate it. They cannot even define it and if you can’t define it, you cannot regulate it. .

One of my facebook friends posted the following comment my condemnation of GOP isolationism: Van Hardenbergh Would you fight for Taiwan or encourage friends and family to enlist?. . My answer: The case needs to be made. I did volunteer for Vietnam and do a tour there. I regret it. They were a nation of too many cowards when it came for fighting for their own freedom. . My uncle did the same in the Korean war in a UN alliance. Initially, the South Koreans were a useless military. Then they were mixed in with Americans in the KATUSA program,...

A banana republic presidente noted that the Manhattan DA indicting ends the US criticizing Third World countries for not living up to US political standards. . You ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until the US devalues the USD through hyperinflation. People all over America and all over the world put their life savings into US dollars. The day the dollar dies, they will be enraged at us. . They may think they can take us over militarily on that day. No. Nations have caused hyperinflation again and again going back to 400 BC. Germany had it in 1921-2, then kicked...
