  1. I don't know how much she made, but the omelet lady in front of my office made enough to go out and rent a storefront and open a restaurant. It's also doing quite well, years later. Making room in front of my old building for a new upstart. He even bought her omelet cart from her.
  2. I just unsubscribed from ScAm. I wonder how many others have.
  3. Here's my prediction: It'll be legal, with a tax stamp and as long as it's "blessed" by one of the families that "bless" everything sold in Thailand. Like the cig companies, and the beer companies. Either they'll make some of the money, or it doesn't get sold.
  4. I'd be all for deporting them, if only they wouldn't be back within the week. I'd also be doubly in favor of making them serve their sentence in the appealing prisons of the countries they come from. But that's a tough one to navigate.
  5. And if they get the result they want, 2024 will be the most fair and secure election ever, and you won't be allowed to protest the results like they allowed in 2017 (when they didn't get the results they wanted) but didn't allow in 2021 (when they did get the results they wanted).
  6. Wait. Didn't we just have the most secure election in the history of the universe?
  7. I'm also curious what (if any) role the voters played in the "Democratic" process. Big D.
  8. Historians will be arguing for 50 years why half a million Ukrainians did not die on Trump's watch. Personally, I think it's because Putin couldn't predict Trump's response, so he didn't FAFO like he did for Obama and Biden, who were soooo predictable. There's something to be said for a leader looking batcrap crazy. I think historians refer to it as strategic ambiguity. In any case, I don't know (or care) WHY Putin didn't attack during Trumps term. Just THAT he didn't attack and put the world at risk of Armageddon, until predictable Joe got in.
  9. Terrorists always have options to respond. And Mossad has just minted thousands of new terrorists. A lot more than they killed. And not just in the Middle East. Israel is hardened, but I'd stay away from synagogues and JCCs in softer areas like London, Paris and NYC for awhile.
  10. If Putin likes Trump enough to not invade Ukraine on Trump's watch, I'm okay with that.
  11. A more accurate title would be "Harris panders to a black crowd, saying whatever will get her the votes"
  12. You mean the only one of the past 3 president's who convinced them not to attack Ukraine?
  13. Yeah, and Baptists dance when nobody's looking. I worked with a couple of dozen Muslims in Songkhla. I chalk it up as one of my best assignments and my favorite places to stay in the world. I should note that I don't chase women for sport, and took the oath a while back. Mongers and drunks may not agree with me on Songkhla.
  14. Rewriting history? Again? Trump succeeded. Obama, then Biden, failed.
  15. Not so many votes. I live there. I'm sitting there now. The stories from your childhood are true. And there's no stigma attached. I can't post the link I want because it's blocked here. The links I do have are "unapproved". Tomorrow... When I arrive in BKK, I'll post it. For a sneak preview, Google Lisa Montgomery. She rescues ducks and geese in Ohio, for the past 10 years. In any case, it's a hoot that they're still discussing Haitian migrant problems in Springfield. Had there been no "cat" comments, nobody would be discussing the problems. Trump couldn't have bought more exposure on a key campaign issue. DeWine has a conflict of interest when it comes to talking about Haitian Migrants. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/state/few-elected-leaders-know-the-inner-workings-of-haiti-like-ohio-governor-mike-dewine https://wysu.org/ohio-news/2024-03-22/haiti-unrest-forces-dewines-tuition-free-schools-to-close-doors Their work is admirable, but his judgment may not be unbiased.
  16. So was Mussolini. For once we agree. Mussolini was far better than Harris.
  17. Luxury mountain villa on a gorgeous island, renting for $600 a month. I may have signed a lease and risked getting kicked out some time in the future. Great while it lasted... Edit: Sucks for any buyers, of course.
  18. I'm just saying that the numbers don't work out if you kill 9 terrorists, injure a couple hundred more, and radicalize thousands to their cause at the same time. You're going backwards. That's pragmatism, not ant-Semitism. I'm 100% in favor of wiping out Hamas and Hezbollah fighters. But not if it's in a way that's going to create hundreds more to take their place.
  19. Have you ever, ever, ever, seen me say that's okay? That dead 9 year old kid... Not a terrorist. But I'll bet his family is signing up as a we type this. And it's quite possible he also has family in London, Paris and NYC, who will be looking for payback.
  20. Sure they can. In London. In Paris. In NYC. If they believe that a Jew is a Jew is a Jew. Israel is a hard target. Other Jews around the world, not so hard.
  21. Thank goodness. We're still waiting on the Feds to release documents to find out who killed JFK.
  22. They spelled it wrong. It's not democracy. It's Democrats that he's a threat to. They're the real threat to democracy.
  23. They killed 9 terrorists, wounded a few hundred, and radicalized thousands of innocent bystanders and their families. By my math, they're going in the wrong direction if they want to defeat terrorism. They're creating them faster than they can kill them. And not just in the Middle East, as recent western events have shown.
  24. 2 comments: 1) They still haven't connected her tragic death with the abortion law, except by guess. The panel isn't allowed to discuss individual cases. 2) For every tragic death, how many bouncing, happy babies are alive today because of the same law(s)?
