George Washington knew the risk to his army from contagious and disabling diseases. Smallpox was a prime one, and vaccination was available. Washington took a chance and had his army vaccinated.

Who is smarter, Washington or Hegseth? Washington is in so many ways, particularly his trust in science.

Sloppy seconds? Nah, he did cleanup.

The evangelicals drank ALL the Kool-Aid.

We need to call this episode The Strait if Hormuz War. The name reflects how Iran won as well as emphasizing the idiocy that went into planning it. A lesson for history.

Tom Lehrer singing “So Long, Mom.”

Stocks soar on 2-week postponement of Armageddon.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

First, Susan Collins is concerned.

Second, the impact the MF describes suggests use of tactical nukes. Could Putin have engineered this to cover his own use of tactical nukes in Ukraine? Against a country that currently does not have them?

Third, civilization-ocide must interest Putin, Xi and Kim.

A different perspective.
Always helpful.

If I still had my medical license I would order a toe tag to the bedside.

MF felt his war needed a sales job.

2 nights ago he interrupted Survivor to give his spiel. Not terrible except # of lies he told.

The spiel he gave was for the OTHER war. The one where the US has superior planning, intelligence, allies and a sense of right.

Now he needs to sell us the war he has

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing.
His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”

Of all the potential replacements for Pamela Jo, none is as lawyerly. Though trump doesn’t see it this way, Blanche really fucked up his fraud defense. Who else is there? Eileen Cannon, who is frequently rebuked by her COA? Zelden? Pirro? trump created a world of hurt for himself, umpteenth time.

What could be wrong with a white guy with no enumerated power to do so forcing a whitelist of voters on states?

Will any birthright citizens be on the list? Naturalized ones?

Dude has denied the validity of individuals’ birth certificates before. Will Barack Obama be an allowed voter? Who decides?

Does Cory like Bryon’s big boobs?

What can be wrong with a white guy with no such enumerated power inventing a voter whitelist and forcing states to use it?

Will birthright or naturalized citizens be on the list?

Dude has questioned validity of individuals’ birth certificates before. Will Barack Obama be on the list? Who decides?

The world would be a much better and safer place if everyone who screams “Death to Jews”, “Death to Christians”, and/or “Death to Muslims” suddenly ceased to exist.

Or as Denis Diderot said: man will never be free until the last king is strangled by the entrails of the last priest.
