Powell's EMAILS

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Iranians can't use one if they finally make one," Powell wrote
"The boys in Tehran know Israel has 200, all targeted on Tehran, and we have thousands."
While that may sound reassuring, if the whack jobs in Iran favor death over life, is it really a deterrence?

Swiss Judge Gets It Right

Posted By Rod Kaufman

A Swiss judge gets in their face and puts them in their place:
http://www.jpost.com/Not-Just-News/Snack-Bites/Swiss-judge-Muslim-students-must-shake-female-teachers-hands-or-face-fine-468527
"The public interest with respect to equality between men and women and the integration of foreigners significantly outweighs the freedom of conscience (freedom of religion) of the students,” the education authority said at the time it overturned the exemption."
“Shaking hands with teachers is deeply rooted in our society and culture,” said Monica Gschwind, the head of the local education department, according to The Daily Caller. “For me it is clear: the handshake is enforced – no ifs, no buts.”
Imagine the PC poop that would happen here if some judge decided the same. It'd probably go to the supreme court to be overturned...

The Debate

Posted By Rod Kaufman

After pondering the fact that Trump got 40 minutes to Hillary's 39, I decided to ponder the aftermath of the election. Trump goes on vacation. Hillary goes to the WH.
But what of the guys on the AM?
Rich disappears somewhere for awhile., presumably to sulk.
Mel comes on and frets about Hillary's future supreme court picks.
Darian picks up where Rich left off and rants about "leftists."
Greg posts another Lol! "I never liked either one!"
The two Jim's on the forum offer something pragmatic to say.
I remind everybody the sun will still come up, along with the stock market!

The Debate

Posted By Rod Kaufman

You can pick your winners and losers. From my standpoint, the fact that Trump shot down Pence on Syria typifies his caricature as a buffoon. BTW, Clinton was right on Lincoln.
