50:years of Iran the rotten truth
I thought countries like India, Pakistan and North Korea previously had programs to create nuclear weapons so why didn't the USA bomb them into the stone age? Couldn't be cowardice in the face of a state that could return fire? So much for Hegseth's excuses.

Long Haul Flight pet Hates.
This actually happened. Waiting in line to have the boarding pass/passport checked and boarding the aircraft. Two Chinese women pretending to be talking but sneaking down the line to the front. They were doing it really slowly so as not to be noticed. They thought. Some choice words from me froze them but they kept trying to edge to the front. Eventually, in a very loud voice so the airline people could hear, "Get the heck (something like that) to the back of the line and stop trying to sneak to the front!"

Why does US Congress Love Netanyahu?
Forgive me if I am wrong but I remember reading that the reason the USA didn't sign up to the ICC was they didn't want American soldiers tried for war crimes (Mai Lai and so on). People laughing at the ICC should think about that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court#:~:text=United%20States%20policy%20concerning%20the,for%20Israeli%20leaders%20in%202024.

Congress Divided as Republicans Resist Calls for Iran War Hearings
Not allowing the Clintons to speak in public was strange enough. Now, hiding the truth on the Iranian war is more perverse.

Are Ashkenazi Jews about to flee Israel, en masse?
President Truman was a Democrat. He was the first to recognize Israel. Hardly antisemite.

Don’t Need help after we already won, News
I swear you can't make this up. Trump has authorized the use of migrant workers as they don't have enough to work on the farms. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/us/politics/farm-labor-trump-migrant-workers-h2a.html Every policy is now failing.

Netanyahu posts café video after Iranian media rumours claim he had died
Why are people raising hope then dashing it? Bibi should retire and drink coffee for the rest of his life.

I wasn't born in 1939. Neville Chamberlain was though! He was born in 1869. Nice guess.

While I believe the EU stabilized trade among members, prior to its birth there were a few horror stories. The infamous "butter mountain" were part of massive, government-subsidized surpluses of butter that accumulated in the European Economic Community (EEC, now EU) during the 1970s and 1980s. The EEC bought excess butter to stabilize markets, leading to mountains of items, along with "wine lakes". The surpluses largely disappeared by 2017 and have not been seen again. They have strived for stability since.- Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)
