Pumpkinhead, where did you get that early information about the pipeline? It's now only making the mainstream news. Perhaps they delayed reporting it so it wouldn't affect the Friday markets?

I belong to the ABA and worked with the Commission on Homelessness and Poverty and HYLN from 2007-2022. Very rewarding experience, although I now prefer being a northern plains country lawyer by far.

Virtually all American Muslims have taken a stand against an ongoing genocide, whereas a significant portion of the Judeo-Christian community are actively supporting it.

One might conclude that the image and integrity of American Judeo-Christians have been irreparably harmed by such a position. Conversely, American Muslims have managed, quite remarkably, to improve theirs. That's not an unfounded opinion- another Muslim- a California woman of Afghani descent, just won a special federal election this evening.

From my point of view, Judeo-Christians have no one to blame for the results of such a drastic change in fortunes over the past several years but themselves.

Most Americans are unaware of the fact that ICE has had a longstanding, direct relationship with the IDF. Documented for over 20 years, ICE agents and leadership have maintained close relationships with Israeli lobby groups and also participated in joint training and exchange programs with the IDF. The endgame appears to be creating a comprehensive domestic surveillance state that will increasingly oppress ordinary American citizens much like the occupied Palestinians.

American Female? I would choose Karen Carpenter.
American Male? I would choose Mike Patton.

Oops. I just realized this is supposed to be for music from movie soundtracks. Here's a rather rare song from Pink Floyd (all four members played on it) but it was only credited to Roger Waters and Ron Geesin. It is from a weird film called "The Body" and is called Give Birth To A Smile. Quite a departure:

Grantchester Meadows, Roger Waters' first elite composition for Pink Floyd, written in spring of 1969, performed live here, back when he and David Gilmour got along both on and off the stage:

At present, America is busy undermining itself. It doesn't need China's cooperation or assistance in that regard.

ICE = IDF

To the above comment. I would argue that it started on September 12, 2001.

I guess I have come to believe that Democratic administrations are sort of roadside rest areas that one comes upon every now and then while traveling on a highway that leads inexorably towards a Christian nationalist fascist police state.

He got to see how Israel and its inhabitants are really like. They weren't able to mask the ugliness. Brave man.

Given where it eventually ended up, America has largely been a sort of "elected monarchy" for the past 200 years. From the beginning of its formation, the American presidency has been vested with what might be referred to as "expansive monarchical authority".

The transistor from Bell Labs.

It may be that the rest of the world, including China, will quickly come to Venezuela's aid and the American military will be completely powerless to stop them.

Nerfherder is usually entertainingly snarky, but this time I think he's on the right track. Time will tell.

You will ID Nancy Guthrie's killers around the same time you will ID JFK's killers.

Shi'a. The correct term is Shi'a.

There will always be those who forget the lessons and long-term significance of Thermopylae.

Sometimes "winning" is nothing more than forcing your adversary to expose its own ethical rot, base hypocrisy and extreme depth of depravity.
