M isuse of good hardware. These tanks should be placed at the Senkaku islands.

Are the Senkaku Islands tank country? Don’t think so …

"SDF holds drills in Hokkaido to threaten Russia and China."

You got it!

I was recently at Cape Nosappu near Nemuro and saw several hundred landing craft and hundreds of armored vehicles and thousands of troops going through landing exercises. Something big is going to happen. Maybe a SDF seizure of that flat, worthless island visible from Nosappu?

The Russians and Chinese are shaking in their boots!

Reasonable move by JAL. I’ve noticed for some time that the number of “Ladies and Gentlemen” on flights has been decreasing.

Scalia was an ass clown

The only “ass clown” is Graham DeShazo who posted that.

Posted in: What happens with the Supreme Court vacancy? See in context

There will be no confirmation before the election because there won’t be enough votes for in the Senate. Senators want to keep their seats.

However, after the election is entirely different. A lame duck president could still get his choice confirmed. Even if a Republican held Senate seat is lost - or more - those lame ducks might still be able to vote to confirm.

Posted in: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87 See in context

Instead, Trump will almost certainly try to push Ginsburg’s successor through the Republican-controlled Senate — and move the conservative court even more to the right.

Look to Trump and the Republicans total hypocrisy and ignoring everything they said in blocking President Obama's court appointment in the last year of his term and rushing forward with a nominee to stack the court.

Mitch McConnell set no timeline. Let Justice Ginsburg rest in peace for one full day before the Trump attacks, okay?

Posted in: Trump on defensive as critics seize on reports he insulted U.S. veterans See in context

It’s just funny how just before the general election old hashed and debunked stories like this one are surfacing 

Nothing strange about the timing. The Democratic Party / MSM team are just running out of trash to hurl at Trump. Fewer than 2 months left before the election. Expect more garbage. Anything to hide the smell of Joe Biden’s rotting corpse.

What is a 50-year old man doing with a 20-year old woman in the first place?

Good point. What kind of 50-year old man would seek the company of a 20-year old? If it was the reason I think, a doll as a “companion” would have been better.

So any hydroxychloroquine + zinc/disinfectant/sunlight advocates reading this headline and thinking "At last!" are probably going to be disappointed.

HCQ has proven effective in a large number of cases when administered by physicians at the right time. This is fact.

Posted in: Democrats pound their message: To oust Trump, you must vote See in context

In a masterful, historical move Joe Biden has managed to unify the Democratic Party’s left wing not only by accepting Kamala Harris as the DNC’s pick for VP but also by demonstrating a willingness to stand aside as Bernie and AOC restructure the economy.

Or is that “viscous”, i.e. thick and sticky, and not vicious as I thought?

Posted in: Why Trump's tough-on-crime message is not breaking through in suburban America See in context

From deploying federal agents to confront protesters

As Congressman Nadler says “Violence? What violence?” Federal agents were deployed to protect federal property from violent attacks by anarchists & kindred spirits, not against protesters.

Common sense.

It starts with a feeling of nausea. Then it leads to vomiting until your stomach is empty, but the retching continues. After that you get dizzy and maybe lose consciousness. If you’re lucky you get to an emergency room where they put you on an intravenous drip.

Common sense.

So, why do we still accept the name “Communist Party” of China? Even “Fascist Party” would be more appropriate.

The Chinese Communist Party certainly does not follow the tenets of Marxism as it has encouraged the growth and financial prosperity of a large bourgeoise class at the expense of the impoverished working class.

The only thing worse than actually becoming ill from COVID-19 is ....

Dying.

Perhaps Governor DeSantis aspires to see as many dead as possible, but he’s got a long way to go to catch up to NY and other states.

As of July 11:

NY : 32,029 NJ : 15,525 MA : 8,310

IL : 7,372 CT : 4,348

FL : 4,241.

Which governor is doing best?
