    New Report About Iran and Highly Enriched Uranium Deals Huge Blow to the Anti-Trump Narrative

    No, Iran cannot make a nuke. IF they can enrich it further, IF they can convert the gas to solid, IF they can construct an effective trigger. I mean come on. NO WMD's in Iraq. We didn't get shit from Afghanistan. We went into those two wars for the same reason we are in this one. Look, in...

    New Report About Iran and Highly Enriched Uranium Deals Huge Blow to the Anti-Trump Narrative

    Damn with the stupid. "A little bit more"--uh no, 60% to 90% is not a little bit more. If gas goes up fifty percent, is that a "little bit more"? And what the article doesn't tell you, that enriched uranium is in the form of Uranium hexafluoride, a gas. It would have to be further enriched...

    "In 100 years we have gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school to teaching Remedial English in college." — Joseph Sobran

    Oh take that shit to the damn house. I don't give a damn about FDR. I don't give a damn about Democrats ******* 150 years ago. I live in today. Look, I am white. About as white as it gets as my son says after doing all that DNA thing. 85% British, 14% Scottish, 1%, some damn mystery. Call...

    Are you kidding me? About 6% of High Schools offer Latin. I am sure Greek is even lower.

    So it is first day of class at the University of North Carolina, Chapel HIll. Yes, go Heels. I won't lie, I was like a fish out of water. No friends there with me, I was alone. I am coming from Calc 2, searching for my Poli Sci class, in the damn Science building. No doubt, I am lost, but I...

    "In 100 years we have gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school to teaching Remedial English in college." — Joseph Sobran

    My oldest daughter had taken her SAT. She was not happy with the verbal score. She asked for help. I walked into my library, dug out an old copy, Webster/Haynes debates from 1830. I told her, read it, find a word you don't know, look it up, bring it to me. Her score increased dramatically...

    Tariff Rebates to Begin

    Then you are a fool. I posted this back in September. I have participated in multiple threads about the tariffs. Who pays them, do corporations pass them on, how much does each American household pay, will it impact job creation, all the good stuff. But I got to admit, I am thinking, this was...

    Tariff Rebates to Begin

    I would take that bet. There is currently a class action lawsuit against meatpackers for price-fixing. A settlement has been reached and consumers can file claims by proving they purchased meat over the last several years from these companies. What consumer has those records? But Cotsco...

    Tariff Rebates to Begin

    Good catch. I saw that this morning. And I called it from the getgo. Just one correction, American BUSINESSES, not citizens. You know, the ones that actually stroked those tariff checks. Americans won't see a damn penny of those refunds.

    "Donald Trump consulted a fortune teller..."

    He may very well be able to find an astrologer that would calculate his likely day of death, usually get it within a few days. But to do so is considered highly unethical.

    Birth Rate Shiftings - Other Implications

    Two things. First, women who give birth to their last child when they are older live longer. Second, children born when their mother is young live longer. Seems nature works this out.
