In Belgium we have this comics series called 'Blauwbloezen' (blue coats). The story line s about the civil war in the US. One of the main characters has a horse that instantly drops when someone calls 'Attack'.

Yeah, Trump is the symptom more than the problem. Warren's plan sounds a lot like central planning to me.

While it’s true that someone with a weapon could kill a bunch of people on a plane even if they can’t use it as a missile, that’s also true of every mall and restaurant in the US. We don’t put metal detectors in front of those. The last time I rode the train I was surprised that you could just… walk right on. Zero security, they’ll check your ticket once the train is moving. Would be so easy to cause damage.

Rick, lay off the Cannonau.

Her name was Yvonne, not Jesús. Why do you automatically assume it was a Hispanic male driver, @jon-nyc ?

I don’t doubt his motivations either and think him to be genuinely sincere. Embedded in that essay was the notion that actually it might work out ok. Agreed. While he has hope that reason over passion will prevail, he also has faith that robust established institutions of checks and balances will continue to ensure the rule of law over unfettered power.

I hate to admit it, but he's actually great with kids.

I’ve had lots of Cannanau while vacationing in Liguria. You don’t see it much outside of that area of the Mediterranean. Nice.

Yesterday was our yearly listening of JCS. I have an original vinyl pressing, a remastered vinyl pressing from just a couple of years ago and an original reel to reel tape. We listened to the tape yesterday. The new remastered 45rpm Alan Parsons Project, A Turn of a Friendly Card arrived Friday. It's a great album.

Libertarian talk radio host Neal Boortz used to call Sean Hannity "Baby Jesus" because he was just so damn wonderful. (As sarcasm.)

Factor in the number of graduates in each field and it might have something.

@jon-nyc said: From a new Finnish study. https://x.com/suzylebo/status/2040485163252031698?s=46 This is nothing new. Peterson laid it out quite well over a decade ago. Gender Dysphoria is not the root cause , it’s a symptom. The fact that in over 90% of the cases it actually resolves itself through puberty tells you everything you need to know…
