  1. If they play in Sao Paulo, it's one hour ahead of US eastern. When US eastern goes to daylight savings, it's two hours ahead. I spent countless Sundays there before retiring, and it was surprisingly difficult to find a place with live TV coverage of the NFL. I would simply use game tracker on my laptop. For anyone who hasn't been there, Sao Paulo is an absolutely massive city. The biggest I've ever seen. You never see a "Z" used in the spelling when there. I once shared an elevator in our hotel with four members of their national junior women's volleyball team. I wanted the elevator to break down. It didn't, but it was still a life altering experience I'll never forget. Linda de morrer.
  2. More idiocy. Devoid of any understanding of the issue. No surprise
  3. That is tactically difficult, but something they have planned for for years, as they have viewed any Iranian nuclear capability as unacceptable.
  4. She's a planetary wizard. Remember when she asked a NASA rep at a hearing if "we could drive the Mars rover over to where Neil Armstrong planted the flag?" Not quite a scary as the "sink Guam" guy, but we have real folks of genius controlling our country. Of course Biden has travelled to these planets by train.
  5. I think you are crazy. Islam and it's political effects in the region have been a disaster to not only women, but entire populations. The desire to eliminate Israel will not end well for these failed regimes, but our men and whores will witness it.
  6. I left out the truck bombing of the Marine Barracks is Lebanon in 1983. Killed 283 US Marines. Hezbollah. Caspar Weinberger said it was an Iranian operation from top to bottom.
  7. Ya. I'm completely oblivious. I haven't seen this, in some cases, first hand. OK. You, on the other hand are the voice of reason. Judging people you have no idea about. Proclamations that our women are whores, that we all cheat on each other and the Israelis planned and executed the Oct 7 murders. Those claims mark you as someone who should be paid attention to. Perhaps.......But certainly not by me or any other sane person.
  8. These didn't happen? It isn't what I "said." It's what they have done, without doubt. Remember the skirmish is the Persian Gulf after they fired on US Navy ships and planes, which was after they mined the Gulf, and well after they seized the embassy and grabbed a bunch of hostages, but well before they sponsored insurgencies and trained and equipped surrogates in Gaza, Southern Lebanon, Syria and Yemin? You know, the folks that are firing unguided missiles into civilian populations in Israel on a daily basis. The regime whose stated goal is to eliminate Israel? The one who executes woman for not dressing appropriately? I have plenty of interests. You are not one of them, and I do just fine without your idiotic suggestions.
  9. You stated that Israel starts these things. Really? Six Day War. Yom Kippur. Oct 7. Attacking the US Embassy and taking hostages? Laying mines in the Persian Gulf to disrupt international trade and eventually mining a US combatant? Supporting insurgencies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, resulting in US deaths? Firing at Us ships and airplanes in the Persian Gulf? Provacotive naval actions against US Navy vessels? Training and arming surrogates to wage war against Israel from Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen? Without a doubt, the stupidest stuff that gets posted here is when someone posts what he guesses someone else thinks. Only a few people do it, but it's always ignorant.
  10. Well, I had the opportunity to respond directly in 1979, the year I mentioned, and I've followed the Iranian exportation of murder since, so I really don't give a rat's about your judgement of whether it deserves a reply. Not in the least.
  11. History would suggest this is a uniquely unsupported claim.
  12. There isn't an individual with a functioning brain cell that wouldn't acknowledge that Iran has been attacking the US since 1979.
  13. University of Virginia Baseball for two years a few years ago.
  14. Actually no. I thought retirement was going to provide more free time, but if you are engaged, you find things that make you far more busy than ever expected. At present, as Treasurer of our local volunteer fire department, I am applying for a federal grant from the gov. An unbelievable experience, and we won't be successful, but the experience is one more item in my bag seeing how grossly mismanaged the gov that we pay for is. Still....We do what we do.
  15. I never said I was going to ignore you, and the rest of your stupid, personal accusations are of typical ignorance. I said I wasn't going to respond to you. When someone accuses someone of murder without any evidence, any knowledge, any information or any insight, don't be surprised when that is called into question. The same when you suggested we base a couple squadrons of fighters in the Ukraine as a deterrent, without any support, any infrastructure or anything even remotely sane to justify such idiocy, or when you single handedly butcher a very well known Bible story, getting every single sentence wrong Expect to have lunacy pointed out. If you can't take that, don't write such nonsense. I have no interest in responding to your specific questions addressing me. I will respond when you make idiotic accusations. Juvenile posts intentionally playing with people's names, though I think most people here see the pre-adolescent attempts as stupid are not worth it, so no need to respond.
  16. I'm quite sure they struck what they thought was a threat. Same as the US strike on an aid worker in Kabul in Aug of 2021, killing him and nine members of his family. I didn't see anyone Biden of "murder" when that happened. Iran has been responsible for the deaths of countless Palestinians, How long they put up with that is the greater question.
  17. I'll wait for the investigation. Pardon me if I have no interest in message board analysis from either you or that other guy. But..... As a simple matter, and as a guy who knows about air strikes, if you are intentionally trying to kill a very small group in a very confined area, you sure as hell don't need three airstrikes. You don't even need one. There are other "plausibly deniable" actions that are far more simple.
  18. Ordinarily, I might react to this, but coming from you, that aint gonna happen. I am pleased that your completed, validated, detailed investigation of this tragedy has led you to, yet another, well formed conclusion.
  19. You are an undisciplined fool with a keyboard. Murder is a grossly illegitimate characterization. Deliberate murder occurred on Oct 7, and murder doesn't begin to describe the atrocities.
  20. The answer to your question is obvious. First, if the IRS already has the 1099 data, which they do, and you don't think you need to provide it, that would mean they are doing your tax return. That isn't how it works. You file your tax return using, hopefully, the same data that is provided to them. If there is a discrepancy, expect a letter in about two years. It used to be that the 1099 data, ie., interest, dividends, capital gains etc., was provided to the IRS by the individual on his tax return. Now they have the financial institution provide it, and weigh that data against what you submit. It's quite easy to drag the 1099 into the return. Second, you don't need to pay a third party. You can still do your tax return and submit it without assistance from a commercial tax assistant.
  21. This is a very big deal. If the Israelis stuck the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, that is a clear ramping up. Tells me two things: 1. The Iranians will respond, further ratcheting up the likelihood of a larger scope middle east conflict. 2. The Israelis are not concerned about the Biden Administration as much as they used to be deeply respectful of US views on their military action. I think they have pretty much given up on him.
  22. No I'm not saying it's a socialist system. It's supposed to be like an IRA as you and your employer contribute to it based on your income up to a certain level, and then when you decide to draw benefits, those benefits are based on your career earnings. All designed to prevent people who don't save from becoming indigent in their old age. The fact is that if the gov was held to the same accounting principles that corporations are, they'd be shut down and arrested in a minute. They do this with scores of tax revenue. Remember a couple months ago when the guy in the White House was whining about airline baggage fees and other expenses for air travelers? The single biggest charge on tickets by far is taxes, and they tax everything; fuel, cargo, route segments, arrival and departure taxes, with additional fees for international ops, frequent flyer fees and others. This was to fund the "Aviation Trust Fund," now called the "Airport and Airway Trust Fund," which handles facilities and operations among other things for the nation's airspace system. They show a balance, but that is nowhere near the amount of money they collect. Guess where that other money goes? Into the general fund. That's the way the system "works."
  23. Are you new to this? These arguments have been made for decades. It is going broke because the money deposited from both employees and employers has been used in the general funding of the government, and not separated for investment, as was the original intent. It was designed as a safety net that everyone employed would contribute to in order to prevent them from being completely indigent in old age. No surprises and nothing new here,
