You Will Never See Elon Musk's The Odyssey

Just saw it recently. It was awesome. The theater was so crowded and hot it became a little uncomfortable but I forgot I was in a theater for a while. That means it was a good escape!

I took my oldest son who thought he had read it but turns out he only had seen an adaptation. He hadn't really seen a good adaptation.

There are many many adaptations and versions.

Did you know that Oh Brother Where Art Tho? written, produced, co-edited and directed by the Coen brothers was "very loosely" based on Homer's epic poem?

The heroes journey..

Anyway.

The theater erupted into applause at the end.

The people have spoken.

Hundreds of New Iran War Casualties Revealed

#19

That's where they found my dad's dad; hanging from the rafters of the garage. Not sure why.

My dad lied about his age at 16 to go fight Nazis because he was afraid he'd miss the war. But he had to join the Air Force to get in, and he trained as a Navigator, so he still missed the war by a few months.

But he did fly many missions into occupied Berlin during the famous airlift of food. Afterwards, he was stationed in Hawaii, where he contracted avian flu as a carrier of the disease, which eventfully killed him and my mom, and it may still kill me, too.

The consequences of war extend far beyond the battlefield, as some of the stories here show.

Thanks to all of you for sharing.

That really sucks. The 70s and early 80s were rough, but he made do. By his early 60s he was really hard of hearing so that was the main problem that I recall. I was born in 91 so I missed all the really bad stuff, but my sister who is 15 years older still remembers. Occasionally he used to go into the garage where he'd have it out with a large canvas laundry sack filled with sawdust that he had hung from a rafter. That was his way of coping but it would scare my mom to death because she always thought one day she'd find him hanging out there next to the sack.

Trump's Foreign Policy Enters its Decadent, Desperate End Stage

I remember all the times I, many posters here, and the entire sane faction of the United States stated that Trump will cause a war with Iran.

Being deathly accurate does not feel good.

Now make note of this statement: Trump's arrogance and mental illness will cause him to declare a State of Emergency at the midterms, so that he might control those elections.

That State of Emergency may well be over the imminent crisis of gasoline supply and widespread economic failure, which he caused.

I am not feeling good about my accuracy in advance.

If Israel hadn't dominated American foreign policy over the past 30 years, Iran would have moderated its extremist government after 9-11 and become at least a cold ally against Russian influence along its northern and western frontier. But NOOOO, neocons insisted on including Iran in the notorious "axis of evil" and screwed the pooch on the chances of that ever happening. And now, here we are.

However, if law enforcement demonstrates probable cause that a device contains evidence of a crime, a judge can legally authorize an "unreasonable" intrusion via a warrant.

The question is, of course, does the Bag Man have probable cause and does he even care if he does? And does he even bother with warrants?

I don't believe you. I've taken the tour and they definitely covered many of Jefferson's other achievements. It's been a few years but I explicitly recall them covering Jefferson as an architect, his role in the founding of the country and the declaration, his many political positions, his role in westward expansion including the Lewis & Clark expedition and the Louisiana purchase, his family and many other topics about Jefferson. Yes, they do frequently mention slavery as well but slavery was highly critical aspect of his life and the country overall. To ignore or to gloss over it would be obscuring Jefferson's legacy. Examining his life is in many ways a microcosm for examining the country.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to Meet with Trump in DC

*** Ukraine PM Volodomir Zelensky will be in Washington This Week ***

Ukraine PM Volodmir Zelensky will meet with Dummkopf Trumpf at the White House on Tuesday, the same day ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu meets the Dotard-in-Chief. The time of their meetings was not posted on whitehouse.gov.

Both Zelensky and Netanyahu will be in Wash DC to not only meet Trumpf but to attend good-for-nothing Lindsey Graham's funeral.

Earlier this year Kiev had called out Israel for under-handedly buying Russian grain that they stole from occupied Ukraine.

Nota Bene: Ukrainian PM Volodomir Zelenky has been avoiding the ICC-indicted war criminal for years. The odious Netanyahu would like nothing better than getting a photo opportunity with the heroic Zelensky. In turn, Zelensky does not want to be photographed with an ICC-indicted war criminal. Zelensky's security detail will have to be extra prudent in Wash DC this week to ensure such an embarrassing photo op does not take place.

You wrote that as the follow up sentence to one you wrote defending a slaver who raped his slaves, broke apart their families and subjected them to involuntary medical experimentation.

"From what I've read he took much better care of them than many others." Also Billjohnson

Records from the time are incomplete but Jefferson was perhaps the most prolific slaver alive at the founding of the US. The Declaration of Independence was a complete contradiction to how he lived his own life. It's not like the thought never occurred to Jefferson that slavery was abhorrent. His original draft of the Declaration called slavery the "cruel war against human nature."

Ben Franklin freed his slaves before the revolutionary war ended. Not Jefferson though. The reason slavery is mentioned so often at Monticello is because Monticello could not have existed without slavery. It was built and maintained by slaves. Slaves did the cooking, maintenance and agricultural work. Slaves played a bigger role in the existence of Monticello than Jefferson ever did. It may still exist today only because, unlike Washington who freed his slaves upon his death, Jefferson's slaves were sold to cover his debts.

Maine Dems do not pick the 2nd most voted

Platner is, as the kids say, cooked. He should drop out immediately so the party can officially start the business of selecting a replacement. My recommendation, Troy Jackson. He doesn't have the charisma of Platner but he's a known quantity in Maine politics having served in multiple terms in both the state house and senate. His politics are similar to Platner's so much so that they endorsed each other when Jackson was running for the Democratic primary nomination for governor in the recent election. He lost that one but it was a strange election with Jackson being one of 4 candidates to receive at least 20% of the first place votes in what was a ranked choice election.

Sometimes I love being right. Credit to the Democratic party of Maine for selecting an upstanding progressive. I would have said other options would be a toss up or likely loss but I think Jackson is likely to send Collins packing.

If Iran wants to starve the world, let them drink sand.

Desalination currently provides a very small fraction"roughly 3%"of Iran's potable water, and only about 0.2% of its total overall water consumption. Unlike neighboring Gulf states that depend on it for up to 90% of their supply, Iran still relies primarily on traditional rivers, reservoirs, and heavily depleted underground aquifers.

You're an idiot

Meanwhile
Approximately 90 percent of Kuwait's drinking and residential water comes from desalination.
Desalination provides 59 percent of Bahrain's total national water supply, a figure that jumps to over 90 percent (and up to nearly 100 percent) specifically for drinking and municipal water needs
Approximately 42 percent of the United Arab Emirates' overall drinking and potable water comes from desalination plants, according to official government data. The remainder of the country's broader water supply relies heavily on natural groundwater and treated wastewater
Approximately 70% of Saudi Arabia's drinking water comes from desalination, though desalination accounts for about 18% to 60% of its total overall water consumption depending on whether agriculture and heavy industrial use are included. The country relies heavily on this infrastructure managed by the Saudi Water Authority (formerly SWCC).
Desalination accounts for approximately 85% to 90% of Israel's municipal (drinking) water supply. This is generated by five major Mediterranean coastal plants (Ashkelon, Palmachim, Hadera, Sorek, and Ashdod) and numerous smaller brackish groundwater plants in the Arava region

I know you are intensely stupid Pedo but let me help you.

First, that's called a War Crime.

Second, at any time, Iran can end our ability to get oil from the Middle East. They can take out the oil fields, refineries, and desalination plants. About 75-80% of water in most of the oil exporting countries except Iran come from Desalination. No water, no workers, no oil. It would take 3-5 years to get oil pumping again. We can't go that long. Especially if China starts importing again rather than using their reserves.

Sally Hemings lived with Thomas Jefferson in Paris, where she had greater legal freedom than she would have had in Virginia.
She ultimately chose to return to VA with him after he promised that any children they had together would be freed.
Given those facts, do you still think it's accurate to describe her as his "sex slave"?
#73 | Posted by BillJohnson

Yes.
She was his slave.
He impregnated her at least six times.
He probably had sex with her hundreds of times. Maybe thousands.

Why wouldn't you call a slave that you have sex with a "sex slave?"
In your case, it's because you're a habitual liar.

And add in the higher cost of diesel fuel which is used to harvest and transport food.

We are looking at a catastrophe of epic proportions.

The development of a cost-effective fertilizer within the last 80-100 years has permitted the world to grow enough food to support 8 billion + people.

That may be ending and we may be returning to a pre- time when agriculture could support only 2 billion people

So it is not crazy to imagine that if this war goes on for another 5 or 6 months that famine and starvation will kill 10s of millions of people.

And understand that that type of food insecurity causes mass migration. From the global south to the global north.

Expect another flood of immigrants, seeking food.

A few years ago I visited Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.

I was very disgusted how every exhibit along the tour, the tour guide would work in some way to disparage Jefferson.

All the things he accomplished and they were obsessed with the fact he had owned slaves. From what I've read he took much better care of them than many others.

I'm not going to defend slavery but it was woven into the fabric of those times.

I see exactly what Trump is going after. Apparently what I saw at Monticello must be compounded at the Smithsonian.

The War Is Lost -- Now Fix What It Broke

"The Iran war has brought a few things into focus"among them, that the United States needs to rethink its approach to warfare in the region and beyond. For all of the time that the U.S. Central Command undoubtedly spent planning and rehearsing for a confrontation with Iran, the conduct of this war betrays a certain failure of imagination that has cost the U.S. military a great deal. The United States appears to have assumed that its abundance of precision weaponry would give it a huge advantage over the Iranians - which it did, for at least a few weeks. But precision weaponry was not decisive."

Relatively low-cost Iranian missiles and drones have wrought havoc upon U.S. bases and other targets in the Middle East. American planners should have anticipated as much: Ukrainian drones have been inflicting devastating damage on Russian military assets for several years now, demonstrating just how quickly the nature of warfare has changed. Yet American troops are getting killed in their barracks by cheap Iranian missiles and drones, and their leaders haven't thought through adequate countermeasures.

This failure belongs not only to the Trump administration but also to the military services and their leaders. The Iran war is almost certainly the easiest drone war that America will ever fight. Countering this cheap and widely accessible technology will only get harder. The United States has to dramatically rethink its posture in the Middle East and around the globe until it figures out how to contend with that.
