If you saw me you would know it really IS the trustworthy look I have. 🤣 -
One Minute Entry into USA
jimmybcool replied to Yagoda's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Sorry you got a bad entry. I can only speak for myself. Way back when (Like in the early 2000s) entry was bad. Long queues, 40 minutes or more for US citizens. Then long queues at customs. Every time. Last few years I have gone thru in less than 10 minutes total. Using the facial recognition machines. I don't check luggage though so that helps. Maybe I just have that trustworthy look about me. 🤣 -
While it is clear that there are some negatives associated with the vaccines created for Covid are the positives ignored in the debate? I recall here in the USA hospitals were filled to the brim with people many of whom died gasping for air. I recall no surgery unless it was medically urgent preventing normal repair of hearts, joints etc. WIthin about 6 months of the vaccines I remember hospitals starting clearing and life was returning to normal. Yes, government way over-reacted in some ways shutting down grade schools, chirches and killing many businesses unnecessarily. And pumped so much money into an economy that didn't need to be killed in order to fight the virus. So they did a lot of things wrong. And sure we were sold a bill of goods relating to how effective the vaccine would be and how safe it would be. But overall did it end a worldwide pandemic? I dunno. I do know I take my medical advice from my doctors. And to be fair in the last few years not all of them suggested that I take any more "boosters" of the mRNA vaccine. And I have not since I was forced to in order to travel. But I am not a denier that something changed when the vaccines were released. We can all choose to look at the data in various ways and it may turn out that there was some nefarious profit motive in this but like the moon landings I take the conspiracy talk with a grain of salt. If this was a control or profit game the number of people involved in it that have kept their mouths shut is impressive.

EU review indicates Israel breached human rights in Gaza

You have to ask yourself why Europe enjoyed peace during that span. -
EU review indicates Israel breached human rights in Gaza
jimmybcool replied to bannork's topic in The War in Israel
Of course they think this. Never mind it is war and they are fighting a dishonorable foe that hides behind their own population and lies through their teeth about atrocities. None of that is ever discovered by European governments. Pathetic.- 40 replies

Where would we be if trump didn’t kill the nuclear agreement with Iran
jimmybcool replied to Tug's topic in Political Soapbox
This is all a pipe dream. Iran was going to continue development of a nuclear weapon regardless of who was in office or what "thoughtful world leaders" delusions about them were. Pretty sure no matter what Trump did or did not do this war between Israel and Iran has been coming as Israel can not allow Iran a nuclear weapon. Really is a weird take on history to think Trump is the cause of this war. -
For once I agree with JT. I see it very possible that the people of Iran are tiring of being international outcasts and their lifestyle stifled economically and by the rabid religious edicts of the regime. While the regime might be willing to sacrifice Iranians the people there might not stand for it. How long before the Iran army resists orders that result in the death of their own relatives?

I wonder if Vegas is taking bets. My money says this time the people of Iran throw off the islamic regime and start acting like a responsible nation. Elimination of the mullahs, a willingness to completely disarm and the world would be happy to buy their oil to help them rebuild a prosperous society.

I hate how Trump speaks. He speaks to base emotion and intellect. He is bombastic and self aggrandizing. Yet, the content of his speech and positions he endorses are the right ones. Would it make me prouder that I voted for him if he was as well spoken as Reagan or Obama? Yes it would. But today, given a choice between he and any Democrat that hasrun for the job in the last 30 years I still vote Trump. I care way more about the actions of a president than if they drool when they eat or need depends. Mind you Fetterman is getting my attention. He might be an emerging Democrat with brains enough to see how lost that party is.

Israel’s Strikes Leave Iran Reeling Amid Escalating Conflict
jimmybcool replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don't think the USA or Europe opposes an independent state or ever has. https://lawandsocietymagazine.com/how-palestine-rejected-offer-to-have-its-own-state-5-times-in-the-past/ -
Israel’s Strikes Leave Iran Reeling Amid Escalating Conflict
jimmybcool replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don't think it is Israels goal to destroy Iran. I think their goal is regime change. if they can eliminate the radical hateful regime run my the mullahs it is possible Iran might once again become a peaceful member nation as they were prior to the revolution. The next few days will be interesting. Meanwhile I doubt oilfields are the targets. I suspect they will continue to destroy anything remotely associated with development of nukes or missiles. -
You need to get a grip man. Unless of course you can cite a source that shows they are being issued live ammo I'll throw the BS flag on that. But then you outed yourself as a left wing crazy when you use terms like "fascist" and "trampling innocent protestors". Turn of CNN and MSNBC. it is rotting your brain.

On what planet does what you replied have anything to do with my post? There is an issue with the quantity of illegal immigrants and their drain on public services and even left wing DEM politicians have complained about it asking that something be done. So what should we be doing? Try to stay on subject.

At the end of Biden's term many "sanctuary cities/states" were complaining they were overwhelmed by the sheer masses of immigrants and the costs associated with that. This includes CA whose Medi-Cal system is breaking under the strain. Unsustainable is how DEM politicians are describing it. So what is the answer if it isn't to deport the illegals that are a major part of the strain? https://calmatters.org/health/2025/03/medi-cal-shortfall-worsens/#:~:text=The hole in California’s Medi-Cal budget seems to,providers through the end of the fiscal year.
