Joe Ferguson forever

yes, we might not have much time...I kid. Seriously, as clear military/intelligence what do you think the US should do now? Israel? The talking heads Generals just aren't being frank and earnest. you seem predisposed to those. And the acronyms...really.? The cons here can shoot arrows at my reading tea leaves.

lighten up Francis. It's really common in Medicine. Doc would know... Black comedy, also known as dark comedy, morbid humor, gallows humor, black humor, or dark humor, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, particularly subjects that are normally considered serious or painful to discuss. Wikipedia

So was the Israeli cook video representative? never got into Israel- due to missiles. Turkey was fantastic. Ephesus. Like in Revelation...sorry. Dark humor. But an amazing place. That CIA/Mossad story shows the 3 D chess being played tho. Thanks for that. keepem coming. The Romans were brutal as well. Ephesus was relocated, due to flooding I think. They forced the inhabitants to move with Plague or some infectious disease they introduced... https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-greece/ephesus

Is this ok Irv. I think it's fine...pretty funny actually. I think we could tell jokes to each other and laugh. c'mon dude...not representing well...nah. on second review it's fine.. Black humor. Gallows humor.

I'll need to check but I'm confident they have "The Diary of Anne Frank" open access. Seems even more important to have it now....

sober as a judge. well not like Clarence Thomas but still...you'll find it hard to believe but there are quite a few enlightened good old boys. Some are friends.

There's no porn.. but they have Hemingway...

Nope. There's been some discussion but so far they've held firm.

yes, clearly our humor differs btw, ten high, a penny saved is a penny earned....there's a really good book about this....something about "... next door"

Yes, free libraries that don't ban books = bad....

I've never been banned. Thanks @Irv. you coulda. I had 1 warning message and no points (not from you). I'll try to calm it down a bit to avoid it.

lots to unpack but guessing this is your point (from wiki) Newsweek reported that in 2007 Mossad's director general, Meir Dagan, tipped the CIA off about the location of Mughniyeh in Kafr Sousa, Damascus.[71]The two Mossad agents had the roles of monitoring his movements and confirming Mughniyeh's identity using advanced facial recognition technology, while the CIA officer later detonated the bomb.[11][72]

Friends say Malley’s return from exile is no surprise, given Malley’s expertise and key beliefs he shares with Obama, including pragmatism and a willingness to seek common ground with enemies. “Rob brings a fundamentally realpolitik perspective to his job, and that’s well suited to the president’s worldview,” says one former colleague. “He’s capable of holding his nose.” In that spirit, Malley has counseled Obama that, however despicable Assad may be, the U.S. has more urgent goals than fulfilling Obama’s vow that Assad be removed from power. Malley does not favor an outright partnership with Assad against the Islamic State, according to sources familiar with his thinking. But, as the former colleague put it: “He’s more inclined than some others to be flexible on the question of Assad’s durability.” so maybe his policy was totally wrong. did he share Israeli secrets with the Russians? there's a lot of crazy shite happening... https://datausa.io/profile/geo/congressional-district-5-mn. yeah it's liberal but not a shoe in for her... The 5 largest ethnic groups in Congressional District 5, MN are White (Non-Hispanic) (62.1%), Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (17%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (5.89%), Two+ (Non-Hispanic) (4.2%), and Other (Hispanic) (4.08%).

just saw this lady on CNN. she seems well informed and very bright. the interview isn't available yet, but she makes the point that Palestine could have become the UAE but decided to become beirut. I think that's an oversimplification but I think her comments might be meaningful and deeper than most. 5 mins in on this gets interesting

but not til after those "real" missiles are sent from Lebanon.

interesting. very interesting. but he was a mid level diplomat and trump was prez. what about giving Israeli secrets to the Russians does not concern you?

please interpret without jargon and ambiguity. IC is intelligence community. ISR is what's discussed here: https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/ISR/. what is meant by the rest? connect the dots....

I think it's fair to conclude that they've thought ahead here, sadly.

Based on this reporters emotional response, I suspect these evil acts happened. She's right there. However if Stephen Miller has proof, why not share it? https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/hamas-terrorists-murdered-40-babies-including-beheadings-says-report-2fdcCmtBjFvAcCCf5MDwKU "It is something that I never saw in my life. It's something that we used to imagine from our grandfathers, grandmothers in the pogrom in Europe and other places. It's not something that happens in new history." IDF soldiers had taken the foreign press through Kfar Aza kibbutz. Pictures from i24 news show soldiers comforting each other after making the discovery. The JC has been unable to independently confirm these reports.

thank you. info we are not hearing from network military experts...you think they are just not saying? Taiwan is interesting in this. Could it be that China is in on this plan as well?

yeah, i could be wrong about Revelation...really. It's playing out pretty eerily. Need to reread the symbolism it it. But praying is worthwhile.

so it looks like we might be attacking Iran?

She's crazy. Rage is not good.

yes, b man is posting stephen miller quotes on another thread and a white house official just owned him over this. I wish he wasn't able to cuz it never happened but it did....

Meanwhile at Fox, there's video from hours ago, a voice over and no live boots on the ground coverage. Oh wait, there somebody tobin in a tee shirt in a lit square somewhere. And now back to a barbie and ken act.
