David Mamet urges people to quit sending their kids to the Anti-semitic colleges and he urges people to quit supporting the Democrat party

Maybe Joe Biden and his administration, along with the Leftist Democrat Party will give Iran another $6 Billion?? Wouldn't that be neat..

Yeah, I know James Lacey and the other leftist apologists will be on here shortly to make excuses for them..


"Its not going to Iran, you guys on the right are lying again..... "
So many interesting things to comment on.  First, you posted a link to a NYT article, did you even know?   Second, there are no leftist apologists on this board on this subject.   All of our Democratic Party friends fully support Israel, and condemn Hamas and Iran's criminal, immoral actions in Israel.   One would think you would have noticed.  I guess arguing against figments of your imagination is more fun than engaging with reality?   Last, a question.  Has the original 6 billion been released?  As of mid-October the headlines indicate that this money had been re-frozen.   Anyone have any links to what has happened since?

Hey Rod - did you see that you and other Democrats on the A-mart are supporting Iran?  You even want to send them loads of money!   I bet that is all news to you!  Jim

You are not making sense my man!   

(A) I do not support Iran or make excuses for them.   (Neither do any of our other James(s)) 

(B) has the original 6B been released?   Last I heard it had not, and I hope that is still the case.

Does anyone on the right ever really listen to Donald J. Trump? Btw the J stands for genius.

To cheers and chants of “USA, USA” he continued: “Now if we say something genius, they’ll never say it, you know, we get 25, 30, 40, 50, 80,000, 100,000 people to the speeches. They’ve never said Trump’s a great speaker.

“I’ve never heard it… I said to my people, do you think they’ll ever acknowledge [it]… I must be doing okay. Except I’m a very handsome person. So I guess a lot of you want… They want to sit look like a beauty pageant. It’s amazing.”


I am one RINO who absolutely never listens to Trump anymore.   My cringe reflex would probably crush my head and torso into smithereens if I watched the viral video you posted.   It is simply too embarrassing.   FWIW, I don't click through to the umpteen videos showing Biden in a state of cognitive decline either.   How can these be our choices?   Jim

By the way, your funny thread title reminds me of an old Colorado joke from years ago - back in the Big 8 days of the 1980s probably:

"Do you know what the big N in the middle of the Nebraska football field stands for...?"

..."Knowledge"

Not really - Phillips is new to me.   I expect I would prefer him to Biden since he is in his 50s and is delivering a centrist message.   But it is clear from your linked article that the DNC, the Democratic establishment and press outlets like the Guardian are not going to let any Phillips campaign have the slightest of chances.   My guess based upon the Guardian article alone is that Haley or DeSantis have a vastly better chance of getting their party's  nomination than Phillips does.  

Specifically, I thought the quotes published in the Guardian were really biased.   All sorts of quotes that can be summed up as: "bad timing" or "nice guy, but why is he throwing away his political career when Biden is the anointed one."  Nothing indicating any support for Philips at all.  Of course the Guardian article is the first and only thing I have read about Phillips so far.  Maybe other outlets are not so cold for him?

Yes, they voted to Censure the lying Leftist Democrat Anti-semitic Bitch, with 20 Democrats who have a semblance of a spine, voting with the Republicans to Rebuke this disgusting vile cretinous slime named Rashida Tlaib.

Personally, I hope Rashida Tlaib is not reelected, but I don't live in that district and like you said it is mostly middle eastern and very religious with both Chaldean and Islamic communities with recent immigrants and first, second, and third generation Americans. 

I live in the district next door and if you ever find yourself in Detroit I can steer you to a few really good middle eastern/Mediterranean restaurants. Take a drive down W. Warren Ave. in Dearborn and you'll see you aren't in Kansas anymore.
We visited friends in Bloomfield Heights this summer.   Google Maps took us north from the airport on Telegraph Road (24?) I think because of construction on the interstate?   Anyway, we had lunch at a great Middle Eastern restaurant on the way.   Your post reminded me of that.  Had a really fun day downtown too.

And to be on topic Tlaib's district includes most of Telegraph Road.

I know that song well.  I always assumed Telegraph Road referred to some original Telegraph Road in London or thereabouts since Dire Straits / Knopfler is (are) from London... I think.  Learn something new each day!   By the way, I grew up walking distance from 24 at the I 69 junction, on the south west side of Fort Wayne.   More trivia, our mountain place is a stones throw from where 24 turns north at Buena Vista CO and heads the last 50-60 miles north to meet I 70 at Minturn/Beaver Creek.   

I'm not sure but I think US24 and I70 share the same roadbed a lot of the way from Indy west to Denver, so that drive is not exactly Route 66. sad  But wait!  More trivia still - My dad was stationed at Lowery AFB when he first enlisted during the Korean war.  He came from Fort Wayne to Denver on a bus on 24.   Almost froze to death he says.  Denver does not get winters like that any more.   So, US24 is definitely the mother road for me!
