    Politics Going after Greenland

    I might be wrong about how things in Greenland but I suspect the same sort of thing would happen there as here. Any of these seem as if it would put a crimp in your political leverage or maybe even your right to vote. A person who takes foreign money in exchange for supporting the takeover of...

    Why don't they put that money here where it's within our national borders. That's even better for national security. Wyoming (Halleck Creek): Home to one of North America's largest deposits, with billions of tons estimated, though development focuses on economic viability. Montana (Sheep...

    Did you know that Hades, God of the Dead, might have named his dog Spot? A prominent theory suggests Cerberus's name comes from the Proto-Indo-European word ḱérberos, meaning "spotted" or "dappled," linking him to similar mythical guard dogs like the Hindu Śarvara

    Politics U.S. seizes Russian Flagged Tanker

    It would seem that registration should be a matter of public record. Somebody ought to be able to verify whether or not a ship of that name and description was registered and when. Now, I have no doubt there's a way to spoof that but, if so, you can bet whoever did is well ahead of us in...

    Politics Going after Greenland

    Almost all because of Republicans focusing on what was good for them instead of the country. Just the damage your ilk has done to education and respect for experience and achievement is astonishing. The same can be said for any neutral approach to anything at all. The attempt to focus on the...

    Politics Going after Greenland

    Maybe. This isn't it, though. The bottom line is that rare earths aren't so rare, they are just expensive, destructive and hazardous to mine. This is more about getting it cheaper at somebody else's expense which makes it about greed and not security. If security was the issue, we wouldn't...

    I didn't retire by choice and didn't have either the goal or plan of fully retiring. However, a tremor disorder ( contraindicated for a carpenter) followed a couple of years later by a cancer diagnosis and the state of my wife's physical and mental health pointed me in a different direction. I...

    I certainly don't agree with a lot of her agenda but she's not wrong about the ease of buying and possessing real estate, whether residential, commercial or for farming purposes has been used as a tool in favor of whites to this day. Now, Zen, add your obligatory stupid misstatement.

    It's not antisemitism when it's about how badly the politicians in Israel treat other people. I don't give a shit about them being Jewish but it pisses me off when they are assholes.

    Politics Going after Greenland

    There is nothing in that article that demands we take it. There are multiple ways to achieve what we need without promoting a doctrine that "Might makes right." It's a heinous and totally unamerican idea to anyone but a Manifest Destiny ( a failed and hypocritical doctrine) revanchist.

    If the marriage situation is a factor, I'd get some resolution on that first if I could. Seems like there's more mystery there than about work. If you have a better grasp of where that's going, I think you could be more comfortable with the rest of your decisions. Let me add the proforma...

    Well, He just didn't have the talent that UNC had. Just couldn't get the glue guys. Under Jon Scheyer as head coach (starting 2022-23 season), Duke has landed 10 McDonald's All-Americans across his first four recruiting classes, maintaining Duke's status as a top recruiting power, including...
