Things Turmp said would be easy. Easy to be presidential. Easy to fix healthcare. Both of whihc he has failed miserably at accomplishing. Now, he says winning a trade war is easy. Not sure Trump understands that it would be a war of mutual attrition, whereas in a struggle to undercut one...

Alabama lawmakers may be waving the white flag in the culture wars – advancing a bill that would eliminate marriage licenses entirely, in turn helping judges avoid the gay marriage debate in the conservative state. “No one particularly likes changing our law, I’ll tell you that,” the bill’s...

Wars of aggression (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression) are considered war crimes under international law. GW Bush believed in "Preemptive war" and I'm sure Trump does too. Can anyone tell me what could possibly be the difference from a legal standpoint? BTW....for those who like...

40 years ago today, a movie call Star Wars opened. If not the most successful movie franchise, certainly one of the most successful. I was at the mall and saw the poster for the movie before I heard of it. I thought it was one of the stupidest looking posters (Luke holding up the light saber)...

What a fucking idiot. Source. First of all, his stupid word choice. "Unbelievable job"? Secondly, you know the douchebag hasn't the slightest clue about what Duterte did. He just heard about a drug war.

So, I was reading this today: Westerners joining the fight against ISIL are no heroes | Syria | Al Jazeera I'll say right away I disagree with most of it. I commend anyone who volunteers to fight ISIS (and the Turkish-backed terrorists too). That writer is clearly an Islamist herself with her...

KYLE, Texas - If the first casualty of war is truth, then the first casualties of trade war are the working man and woman. And first among them is about to be the iconic Texas rancher. Here in the rolling pastures of bright, green spring grass at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, the...

"The Last Jedi" Sounds ominous, and, if the rumors/spoilers I have heard are correct, Luke will put on a show of power never before seen in the series.....

Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia. Why Won't Anyone Admit America Is Fighting 5 Wars? Obama's Shadow War In Somalia U.S. SLeepwalking Into A Hot War In Yemen Very interesting reads. Why must we be policemen of the world?

I mean its pretty obvious by now, right folks - that since Iraq started in 2003, all the newspapers and TV news endorse every war any President wants and comes down the pike. Whether its the NYT, WSJ, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, reporters and op-ed pages, as well as every TV network CBS, FOX...

U.S. Shootings Since 1963 Have Killed More Americans Than All Wars Ever

Good idea Sparta. So for those of us who saw the movie, we can discuss it without ruining it for anyone. It was enjoyable but I wasn't blown away. It was the same movie as the first one. Kid from a desert planet attuned to the Force teams up with a renegade and old mentor figure to fight a...
