"How dare the Apaches fight back!"

Whenever I'm on an indigenous peoples reservation, I ask if they have a word for "murder" or "homicide."

These are not PhDs I'm asking, but regular folks who speak the language.

I have heard the word for "kill," referring to an animal or fish, but not a specific word for "murder" or "homicide."

There are other words the Native Americans don't have, like "railroad," "rifle," or "cancer."

The indigenous folks created portmanteaus like "Iron Horse" or "Fire Stick" as work-arounds.

TYPO fixed: "The Persians should never have been under-estimated and the attacks against their environment and infrastructure are only angering their people while hardening their resolve."

The Iranian military has manufactured and stockpiled thousands of drones, by their own admission.

They've been selling drones to Russia for years. And Vladimir Putin is going to put his foot down on Dummkopf Trumpf for constantly attacking his ally and economic partner. Russian oligarchs have invested billions in Iran and Putin is desperate to beat Ukraine.

Years of hostility and isolation by the West have given Iran a "bunker-industrial complex," financed by oil, secured by a sophisticated "SAVAK," and supported by Russia.

The Persians should never have been under-estimated and the attacks against their environment and infrastructure are only hardening angering their people while hardening their resolve.

US bases are getting hit with Iranian drones, but there is little reporting about this in the Western media.

And Iranian drone launchers are not stationary ICBM silos which can be easily targeted, but mobile and moved around on flatbed trucks.

Hah! Good one, Doc Sarvis.

I don't know why, but when I write comments about slimy Howard Nutlick, I also think of sycophantic Uriah Heep.

Your entreaty to a Higher Power about Dummkopf Trumpf reminded me of this wonderful Broadway song from last century.

I used to play a piano arrangement of this decades ago.

Enjoy the harmony, counterpoints, goofy choerography, and synchopation.

In Pennslyvania, real Democrats have been trying to kick this Faux News / Bill Maher fixture out for years.

An inexperienced mailman will be able to beat John Festerman in their next primary.

If miraculously not, someone fetch an elephant gun.

And people who say "blah-blah stroke" and "yada yada recovery" are making excuses or reasons or trying to "square a circle" about this DINO.

"Blech!"

The majority of the GIs from the "Greatest Generation" that fought fascism leaned Democratic, not Republican.

AI slice:

"Soldiers overwhelmingly voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, the only presidential election held during the war. FDR was the Democratic commanderinchief, and military ballots showed a large proDemocratic margin.

Gallup polls from 1945"1953 show that WWII veterans continued identifying as Democrats at higher rates than comparable nonveterans. This wasn't a temporary wartime effect " it persisted for decades."

What type of hijab was Dummkopf Trumpf singling out for ridicule? A or B? Or were any burqas like in C?

Lunatic Victor Marx (R) eked out a plurality of ~39% of the GOP vote, while Phil Weiser (D) easily beat Michael Bennet (D), despite millions of AIPAC dollars helping him.

The Centennial State will have a Democratic governor (Phil Weiser) on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 who does not take AIPAC money.

AI slice:

"Colorado's 2026 primary voter turnout was 36.2%, according to the Colorado Secretary of State.

That figure reflects 1,457,832 ballots returned statewide, the highest primary turnout since at least 2018 (excluding the unusual 2020 pandemic primary).

The voter turnout was nearly an even split between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats took a slight edge with 98,163 more votes. While that seems like a high number, it's 6.7% of the total number of voters."
