Brilliant post—I’m lost for words!

Except stupidity—no cure, no vaccine, no hope.

Adieu. Matthew 7:6 comes to mind — 'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.'

Alex Jones wasn’t “crucified.” He lied, monetized those lies, and refused to comply with court orders. That’s not a show trial—it’s consequences. Nuland? Yes, Ukraine has old Soviet-era biolabs. The U.S. helped secure them to prevent outbreaks and bioweapon risks—not create them. Russia knew this. They were part of the same program before backing out. Try facts, not fragments of C-SPAN and conspiracies.

Brandolini’s Law—which states “the amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude greater than to produce it”—suggests I shouldn’t waste any more time on you.

“Keep listening to your MSM.” Translation: I have no facts, no sources, nothing to counter your pointed argument.

Same tired Kremlin karaoke—different day, same disinfo. Let’s break it down: "NATO promised not to expand": Nope. No treaty, no binding deal. Gorbachev himself said so. NATO expands when countries apply—usually because Russia makes them nervous. Funny how that works. "Western coup" in 2014? You mean millions of Ukrainians protesting corruption and ousting a Putin puppet? That’s not a coup—that’s democracy. "Murder of Russians in Donbas": There was no genocide. The UN and OSCE found no evidence of systematic killings. Civilian deaths occurred after Russia, wanting control of Donbas, sent in weapons, fighters, and unmarked troops—“little green men”—to stir up conflict. Russia created the violence, then blamed Ukraine as an excuse for invasion. Biolabs? That’s straight out of the Alex Jones universe. Those were old Soviet labs—being dismantled with U.S. help. You’re blaming the West for cleaning up Russia’s Cold War leftovers. "Russia won't go into Poland": Just like it wasn’t going to invade Ukraine? Poland isn’t betting on Putin’s promises. Neither did Finland—that’s why they joined NATO. Bottom line: You’re parroting Kremlin talking points and calling it insight. Next time, bring facts—not fan fiction.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” - Edmund Burke.

After a course of ciprofloxacin — a drug I had used many times before — I experienced a strange fall, fractured my wrist, and was later diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Only later did I learn that fluoroquinolones carry a U.S. black box warning for potentially permanent nerve damage. A 2014 study (Etminan et al.) on men aged 45–80 found new users had double the risk (RR = 2.07). A 2019 study also showed a 3% increased risk for each additional day of use, with effects lasting up to 6 months. My experience may just be coincidental and anecdotal, but for me the takeaway is clear: Avoid all fluoroquinolones unless absolutely necessary. Cipro remains widely used in Thailand, especially for men’s health issues — but the risks deserve more attention. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264988482_Oral_fluoroquinolone_use_and_risk_of_peripheral_neuropathy_A_pharmacoepidemiologic_study https://www.neurologylive.com/view/peripheral-neuropathy-associated-fluoroquinolone-exposure-time-dose-dependent

Bergen-Belsen demonstrates man’s intolerance toward man—no need to perpetuate it.

During WWII, my Dad RIP was in a RAF bomb disposal unit, mainly defusing bombs on UK airfields. Later in early 1945 he was clearing airfields in Europe for the Allies and was near Bergen-Belsen when it was liberated. His unit was ordered to tour the camp, when it was still occupied, to witness the justification for their involvement in the war. He only spoke once to me of the war and the camp when he was in his twilight years.

Clearly an unpopular series—only 8.7/10 on IMDb. Next time I recommend a series I will add that it contains adult themes.

After stocks bouncing like a ping pong ball yesterday and DOW up only 0.82% , Trump is looking at U turning again, giving the market a lot of confidence--NOT......

Yes, and the numbers have only gotten worse—especially now with the deficit over 6% of GDP and Trump doubling down on the same policies that helped create the imbalance in the first place. If someone’s been warning about a leak for five years and the water’s now up to your knees, maybe it’s time to listen.

If you missed it, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates—the world’s largest hedge fund was on Meet the Press yesterday, warning that the U.S. is heading toward a financial crisis—not because of the total debt, but because of the deficit that’s growing it. He says we need to bring the deficit down to 3% of GDP. Right now it’s over 6%. High deficits, rising debt, and higher interest rates are a dangerous mix. Trump’s plan to extend his tax cuts without offsets would make things worse. Tariffs and trade disruption add to the instability. Dalio says a “debt heart attack” is possible within a few years if nothing changes. He’s not focused on the debt number itself—but the pace and recklessness behind it. And right now, that pace is accelerating.

Agree. In the video, you gotta love his comment on selling corn to India—a country with a surplus and a strong preference for non-GMO. That’s like selling coal to Newcastle. Then there’s the proposal to sell rice to Asia. You know, Asia—the region that invented it and already owns the global market. Now add beef to Australia—a country with a strong trade surplus and one of the world’s top beef exporters, including to the U.S. Aussies prefer grass-fed, hormone-free, high-end Wagyu. U.S. feedlot beef—possibly with BSE concerns? Not exactly in demand. But hey, Trump only hires the best people. Trying to sell this stuff to these markets? —Like sand to the desert. Or logic to a Trump appointee.

You’ve mistaken reflection for aggression and discernment for insult. The references I cited speak to timeless wisdom— not to personal attack. But if you insist on interpreting every proverb as a mirror, I can’t help where your reflection leads you. If it earned me a white feather, I suppose that’s just another feather in my cap. The post wasn’t about you— unless, of course, you insist that it was?

@riclag A Hitler-praising neo-Nazi kills his parents, plots to assassinate Trump to start a race war—and you blame the Left? That’s not leftist hate. That’s your side, mask off. Own your extremists.

It takes a measure of discernment—perhaps even the mark of a classical education—to recognize that silence is not always cowardice, but often the purest form of wisdom. 'Never argue with a fool—they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience' — Often attributed to Mark Twain 'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.' — Matthew 7:6, King James Version P.S. I am a little less discerning, and like wrestling.

The source interview with Lutnick.......

Your reply seems to miss the point of my query. The issue isn’t whether the A350 is a better aircraft overall—it’s the contradiction in claiming that seat comfort depends entirely on airline fit-outs, while simultaneously asserting the A350 is superior because of its seating —this would seem to suggest a non sequitur logic fail. If seats are airline-configured, then the aircraft model itself shouldn’t determine comfort. Your additional comments are irrelevant to the specific discussion about seat comfort, which was the focus. Broader comparisons between the A350 and 787 are a separate discussion.

So, the seats depend on the fit-out, not the manufacturer— yet somehow the A350 wins?

Series two......starts today!
