Or, if you cannot respond, NerfHerder, then perhaps ...

You support candidates (Republicans, of course) who protect men (who else?) who put their dicks inside children. #GOP2026.
Really, NerfHerder.

I am 100% against those animals of humanity.

Why are you giving them a break, NerfHerder ? ? ? ?

#11 And the response by NerfHerder ? ? ? ?

OpEd: Saying we won' the Iran war is easy. Now's the hard part.
www.csmonitor.com

... "We've got to finish the job, right?"

When U.S. President Donald Trump made that remark at a rally in Kentucky back in March, the Iran war had barely begun. And with huge firepower at his command, he exuded confidence that the endgame would be a mere formality. The war, he told the crowd of supporters, had already been "won."

Yet 2 1/2 months on, Mr. Trump's definition of "finishing the job" has fundamentally changed. ...


#1 Oh, do tell us, C0RI0LANUS... just what is your problem with Senator Richard Blumenthal that you included this image in this your #1 post?

Senator Richard Blumenthal is Jewish. He and his wife are members of the Greenwich Reform Synagogue in Connecticut, and his family background includes a father who immigrated from Germany to escape Nazi persecution.
Never mind.

Answered.

@#2 ... According to Al Gore's predictions, we should be deep sea fishing in Miami right now. ...

Overall, Fmr VP Gore was more correct with his comments about climate change than he was wrong.

The same cannot be said about the climate change deniers.


@#1

And, once recently when I went to Florida to visit a family member for the weekend, I had to wade through a foot of seawater in the yard to get to the house that, fortunately, was raised on its foundation, above the water level.

Sea-level rise is a real thing.

As sea levels rise in Miami Beach, raising homes and buildings may be next (April 14, 2017)
southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org

... In Miami Beach, the city is raising its streets. For many property owners in the city, raising their homes and buildings may be the only way to protect against rising sea levels. Insurance rates are also rising, but raising buildings could dramatically lower flood insurance rates. The Florida legislature is considering legislation that would provide financial incentives at the state level for raising buildings. ...

Of course, which aspect is worse? southern Florida sinking, or rising sea levels?


" In a Truth Social post on Friday morning, Trump laid out the main elements in the deal that he wants to emphasize and seemingly suggested he was about to accept it.

He stressed Iran must agree that "they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb."

He claimed the Hormuz Strait must be immediately open without tolls, for "unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions." He noted Iran will complete "the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left" in the strait.

"Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of "heading home," Trump wrote."

;;

"Between the lines: The MOU states that Iran will agree to negotiate on its nuclear program, but does not include specific concessions.

Fars claimed Trump is trying to "project a fabricated victory" and is "distorting" the MOU's text. The sources Fars quoted claimed that after the U.S. blockade is lifted, Iran will reopen the strait "according to arrangements it determines itself" and that could include "monitoring and inspection of ships, the provision of services, and security measures."

Fars also claimed Iran would receive "immediate payment of $12 billion" in frozen assets" and that no further negotiations would take place until the money was paid.

U.S. officials claim Iran would only receive frozen funds as part of a final nuclear deal.

Fars also said the MOU includes a ceasefire in Lebanon "in accordance with Hezbollah's position." U.S. officials said the deal would include a ceasefire in Lebanon."

What DJT really needs is time to figure out how to spin this strategic loss.

Hi Matt

The only US Army specialized training that I wanted to complete was Air Assault school. By coincidence I knew two Vietnam War vets who were both helicopter M60 door gunners, so I heard their war stories. And I would learn more at Air Assault school (LZs, knots, hand-and-arm signals, heliborne operations, etc) than Jump School, which is just muscle-memory practice of PLFs and guiding away from trees or water.

Tough break on the EFMB.

I had zero respect for senior leadership.

Hmph.

Last century, I knew a USAR soldier who attended Air Assault School as a permissive TDY at Ft Belvoir, VA. He showed up at O dark thirty in the morning and got a slot when someone didn't show up or was kicked out later that day. He passed.

Afterwards, he studied and practiced for the EIB. Somehow he finagled his way into a MDARNG infantry unit and took the EIB test during one long weekend with them. He passed.

"AP" repeated the same process with Pathfinder School, skills which he never used, but he looked great in his Class As or Dress Blues.

"AP" was more proud of his ability to get the scare badges than the training itself.

And incredibly enough, "AP" was a lousy swimmer.

I was the unit's 'WSI' because I was an American Red Cross certified lifeguard, not an official WSI or certified WSSI.

So, I coached him for several days on efficient strokes and breath control before the unit validation tests and he passed.

No scare badge for that though.

'AP' did me some small favors along the way, so I hope he's doing well and enjoying retirement.
