Syria has been pretty cozy with Russia in the past, I suspect DT cleared this visit with the guy in The Kremlin beforehand. One of my favorite stories regarding alliances in the region is from 10 years ago or so, back when Raqqa was the official gateway to Hell. To aid Syria Iran agreed to allow Russian airstrikes to pass through their airspace en route to Syria. Day 1 saw a successful attack. Day 2 Russia attacked a strategic military site in Iran by mistake. Oops! Didn't hear any more about this agreement after that.

She's afraid of getting zapped by a Jewish space laser while she's trying on butt plugs at her neighborhood Target store. It was a few weeks ago that I saw on the US teevee news the polling results for prospective GOP candidates for the Georgia Senate, no sneaky leaking involved. Marjie came in last, around 10%. A lot her constituents are just like her, so she can hold on to her rep seat probably for the rest of her life, so long as she doesn't get caught leaving a motel with a black man. Kemp knows if he runs the person with the orange face will tear him to shreds. https://georgiarecorder.com/2025/05/01/bookman-mtgs-act-might-play-in-her-district-a-statewide-race-is-a-fools-mission/

Hey, is this the same Fred Merz from "I Love Lucy"? "Freeeeeddddddd, you got some explaining to do . . . "

Germany Aims to Build Europe’s Most Powerful Army, Says Chancellor Merz Oh no, not again!

Comey's a shmuck, showed his mettle in the run-up to the 2016 election. The MAGA congregation should be kissing his feet. Comey got harassed during the first DT term, got an IRS audit of the type where go down to the pennies. https://thehill.com/business/3548279-comey-mccabe-faced-rare-intensive-tax-audits-by-irs-under-trump-appointee-report/

I think things with be worse with President JD, an empty suit manipulated by his sponsor.

Looks like the magic doesn't work in keeping the BiB away. Maybe stick with the Thai amulets.

Only took nine years to figure this out. Who made the judgement call, Merrick Garland?

Why do Thais need orientation when they are already . . . Oh, never mind.

There is an old joke famous for the punchline "$20, same as downtown."

See? No more slinking in the shadows, no more multi-layered and conflicting alibis/excuses/fictional comments or callow backtracking, now he can say it straight out. Bold as Mussolini!The sun shines upon American kleptocracy, bold and brave. MAGA baby! U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed ethical concerns about his plan to accept an airplane as a gift from the Qatari royal family, saying on Monday it would be "stupid" to turn down the generous offer. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/white-house-confirms-qatar-offered-plane-us-2025-05-12/ Waiting for his SCOTUS stooges to come to his defense. But it seems there's a few surprises: https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/12/media/maga-media-shapiro-loomer-levin-trump-qatar-plane-gift Just another man trying to provide for his family: he has a very good brain and he makes good television.

Does this mean there will be white guys doing the bare buns and chaps thing with their big white asses exposed for all to see? Someone I know says their butts look like 2 pigs in a pillow case fighting to get out. That would qualify as a show of diversity in a country of (predominantly) skinny-assed people.

Hey c'mon, he's the best president money can buy! Wait, didn't he buy a new AF1 in his first term? Or was that just more prattle? I would reference the tale of the Trojan Horse, but the DT congregation would argue that an airplane is not a horse. There is no way that jetliner can be swept clean of all possible monitoring gadgets. Havana-syndrome devices? If Putin tells him it is indeed clean of spying devices, DT will believe it. As always.

And just think, if Glen Beck hadn't pulled this guy's name out of his butt way back when you would never hear his name on Fox.

They are going to need the full Hannibal Lecter outfit for this one.

Supposedly he and Ann Coulter have been a couple for a few years. If so, she has definitely had an effect on him. Time to retire. He already has a podcast. Go before you're pushed, Bill. Vanity . . .

What does this fool have against Wookies?

That small town where all this started is the last of such before entering a certain Hindu pilgrimage route, and the trip unfortunately coincides with the monsoon season, which begins next month or so. I would think Modi would be motivated for a cease-fire, at least until September.

Here again I think a week in one of these things would "get their minds right." Bear in mind the public is permitted throw all sorts of things at them. But then they can be washed down.

Speaking as a native of NYC the "peak L&O era" was when Jerry Orbach was on the show. He's the sort of smart-ass guy at the deli who keeps you laughing while he puts his finger on the scale. There's a late-night comedian who says his son is somewhat obsessed with the Lenny Briscoe character, but I don't know if it is just a joke. Couldn't handle SVU, all those "I feel your pain" expressions by not very good actors. But then came Organized Crime and I was really impressed with Meloni's undercover Eddie Ashes character. But I'm disappointed they took away the kinky hacker chick. I'm waiting for that Irishman with the nasty dog to reappear. Now there is L&O Toronto, which is more Sherlock Holmes -ish.

Andor episodes 7-8-9 The last 3 will be released in a few days, then it's over. IMO is the best of the Star Wars streaming series. Certain Americans may take it as offensive.

Law & Order: Organized Crime, season 5

There are plenty of vids on the Internet that illustrate this. Around 2003 or so there was a suggestion floating around that UK could become part of NAFTA. So much for that idea.

There is a character in "Rosemary's Baby" who is an older gentleman that says he has been to nearly every city in the world. Though it is never said, it is left to the audience to figure who he is supposed to be, or who's bidding he is doing. "Pleased to meet you, won't you guess my name?" (Hey, it's been 50+ years since I saw that!) I went through a lot of Catholicism when I was a kid. One thing I noticed is that people who convert to that religion as adults tend to really go off on it, two public characters that come to mind are Graham Greene and Malcolm Muggeridge. I don't sense much of that from JD, IMO conspicuous in its absence.

Hey, isn't he the guy from Wallace and Gromit?
