There is no such thing as a rules based international order, just like there's no Easter Bunny and there's no Santa Clause. Anybody who thinks they're saying anything profound about this on Twitter is a moron. It's Realpolitik turtles all the way down. Anyone who says differently is selling...

The world has always been insane. Raisi was little more than a Nazi with a beard, one of the worst people in the world. I spit on his grave. The ICC is meant to prosecute when countries don't have rule of law, but Israel has rule of law. Meanwhile, China does not, and they're committing...

I was not expressing what I want or hope, just what I think will happen. Gantz has demanded that Netanyahu agree to specific goals that Gantz wants. I honestly don't know where this will lead, but Netanyahu and Gantz are pretty close on goals, methinks.

As expected, Israel will occupy Gaza and then grind away at Hamas until Hamas are powerless or all dead. The border with Egypt will be blocked. The people of Gaza will remain defiant and fight back, because they hate the Jews more than they love their own children, and so they will choose to...

My parents paid for my schooling, but I did two years of CC. As did my wife. As did my daughter. Not sure what my son will do. AP tests are over, so he has to decide soon if he's going to stick around for senior year or not. But we digress. The pier is complete. Hopefully the US will...

Interesting how low student debt is on the list.

I'm sure things were quite different 250 years ago. It's a call in vote. I don't read too much into it. A few thousand sim cards in Vietnam can make a huge difference. Then again, it's Eurovision, so it doesn't matter anyway. Those songs are all mediocre at best. It always feels like a...

I don't think you can run 18s with the MYP front brakes. Most people lifting are oversizing on 18s.

Among Israeli citizens, I believe that's a small minority. Most are pretty content from what I've seen. Police don't go around asking Arab Israelis for their papers. Lots of segregation in that society at night. Not as much during the day. It's an interesting country for sure. I don't...

https://time.com/4558510/electoral-college-history-slavery/ That heritage foundation link would barely pass as a high school ap exam essay. A nation is made of people, not states. Few Americans identify with their states more than with the nation. This is different in other countries. A lot of...

A lot of people do not want to vote for Trump. A lot of people do not want to vote for Biden. Neither of them are showing qualities that lessen that disgust so many feel. I know who the lesser of two evils is, but I don't like either of the choices. Worst election choices of the past 40+...

The far left and the far right struggle for the crown when it comes to evil. Hard to tell them apart. They both demand ideological purity. Demands for ideological purity are the fastest way to make me want to punch somebody in the face (not you). Muslims in Israel are unhappy with some parts...

That's more about low COG and groundforce/lift than it is about drag. Drag is maybe the fifth or sixth reason to lower a car.

I think India has a rather large Hindu nationalism problem right now, but it's not nearly as bad as situation normal in the Middle East.

Every religion and non-religion has a problem with extremism and supremacists. At this time, one religion has a rather larger problem than everyone else. Cough. Agreed. The Saudis are a dictatorship that spreads radical and terrorist Islam and pollutes the world. Hamas did not blink. They...
