Bolton: "Better to war-war than to jaw-jaw."

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trey Gowdy?!!!  Are you kidding me? What a joke! Called a "loser" by your president, this guy is the same guy who laid into Hillary Clinton on Benghazi with the same sort of poop that he's throwing now and ,by his own admission, said this:"Depending on how you judge the purpose of the Benghazi investigation, I think a lot of people would say I was a loser.’ 
What another freaking Republican joke! But the good thing is that the joke on you...

My guess is that you'll be confused and wondering what happened to all those crooks at the FBI who are under indictment in the coming months.  

Hopefully Comey is sweating bullets. It appears that man and his underlings committed multiple felonies, especially with regards to the FISA warrant applications.  Providing information and lying about it, saying it was verified when it wasn't, isn't the mark of an honest person, let alone the head honcho of the FBI.

Rich obviously has a problem with name recognition.
No, Comey is spot-on correct in virtually everything  he has said or done with respect to that freak in the WH.
Trey? The guy nicknamed "loser"by your prez, has that odd sort of name that Rich just can't seem to remember. But one can understand why, to some extent. Afterall, would you name your kid Tray?...

John (Call sign:"Walrus"wink Bolton is pushing it again, ramping it up on Iran . More bombers, more carrier battle groups, more boots.

In contrast, Donald Trump on Iraq:
"the single worst decision ever made."
Will Donald prevail or will he repeat history?

Stanton Friedman Passes...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I believe it's both foolish and arrogant to think that intelligent life does not exist elsewhere in the universe. If you travel to a truly dark sky observing site, one in which you can't discern a tree line or, for that matter, your own hand in front of your face, you'll see so many stars that it can make it to difficult to pick out familiar constellations and those myriad of visible stars are only those in our own galaxy. They've taken the Hubble space telescope and pointed it an area of space previously thought to be devoid of anything and found a myriad of galaxies that are island universes in and of themselves. The universe has got to be teeming with intelligent life. I just don't believe it crashed-landed on a ranch in New Mexico in 1947...

Dark skies I've experienced(not quite like you've described) are definitely awe inspiring, but have never led me to thinking about other intelligent life existing; I found myself simply overwhelmed by the beauty.

Oddly, when I was much younger, I think I would have been inclined to agree with you. But somewhere along the line, my thinking changed. smile
Darian,
Think of it this way: Before the microscope was invented, a drop of pond water was simply that and nothing else. But put a drop under a microscope and you'll find it teeming with life. We don't have all the tools in place yet but we'll find it...

However you view it, and I'm not a believer in aliens visiting the earth, either in ancient times or in present ones, but I do have to admit being impressed by Stanton's discussions about UFOs, having attended one of his presentations years ago.

While the government did appear to cover up the incident at Roswell I do accept the belated explanation from it that it was project Mogul that explains it...

Now, you're actually CONCERNED?  

You've got to be joking. 

Get real.  LOL   
Not at all. Bush beat em to it with, "Mission accomplished"...

Your brain needs to be reconnected to reality.

Get off the Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon Show for a day or two and maybe it will automatically reset!   tongue
Yeah Rich, Obama laid out the entire defense of the USA. Good thing Trump rescued us...
