It was passed on to me, I honestly believe it over Fauci.
I trust neither that website nor Fauci.

Re: War in Gaza

A very good question is what, exactly, Israeli settlers are doing in Gaza who aren't part of the IDF. They have absolutely no business being there. They are aid convoys passing through the West Bank from the North and being attacked by settlers in the West Bank. From the article: Drivers and contra...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

I once was a partner in a partnership and had non-qualified deferred compensation. For various reasons, the company ran out of money, and that money went *poof*. It was not available for "early withdrawal", but if it had been, I would have to pay taxes on it.

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

The author should consider there might be some other factor leading to the generally good health and better outcomes Amish children have vs their non-Amish neighbours.

There other populations who are unvaccinated who don't overall match the strong health profile found in Amish communities.

Re: NFL “values”

At the local level, we had a nice rape scandal at Steubenville high school (home of the "Big Red" football team), where the administration decided that it was more important to keep their star football players around than deal with the fact those football players raped an unconscious under...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

Let's try tot to induce a heart attack on the mods 8-) Thanks for thinking of us, I guess, though it seems a bit childish. I'll totes put a cardiologist on speed dial. In this thread , the consensus seemed to be that BMA was the dividing line between "conservatives" and "liberals.&qu...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Had Foster shot Perry, his stand-your-ground self-defense claim would have been far less tenuous than the one Perry made. But can you imagine Gov. Abbott coming to his defense? Issuing him a pardon? A Black Lives Matter marcher? Not in a million years. For way, way too many Republicans, political v...

Re: War in Gaza

America has a larger Jewish population than Israel does. And American Jews have a wide, wide variety of opinions on things. Some of the most ultra-orthodox religious ones don't recognise Israel as legitimate, because they would only recognise a true theocracy complete with rebuilding the temple. Oth...
