The Palestinians have worked so hard for a negotiated settlement but the other side keeps rejecting their one simple and in their eyes quite reasonable clause…

“Kill all the Jews.”

You think she really believes in Allah? She doesn’t cover. At least Omar does that. Or is it just her heritage, a family thing. She’s a bolshevik first and last. Islam is probably more an identity than a belief.

As for Russia I should think that she would be thrilled to see NATO (A.K.A. the United States) engage in “interventions” (i.e. invasions) such as in Iraq and Afghanistan. And if hapless Sweden and Finland can be dragged into such quagmires so much the better.

We just had another one last night at a football game. What’s wrong with Covid AND the mRNA vaccine? Sudden death of the young from the one. Sudden death of the young from the other. And sudden death of the young from BOTH.

You stopped just when it got interesting, “…..so the vaccines probably had no impact one way or the other.”

If vaccine has no impact one way or the other then why should we take the vaccine? So why a debate at all. Let’s just put them back on the shelf for everybody but the elderly. Long term side effects for the elderly are irrelevant.

Unless you include genetic proclivities then you have no numbers. And apparently we don’t have the technology to do that. Why should someone who got Covid in 2020 and survived it with flying colors, mild to moderate symptoms, be worried about it in the future?

That’s me. I’ve had a number of URI’s that have been MUCH worse than my Covid infection. The Hong Kong flu nearly put me in the hospital back in 68 when I was 9. I’m not a healthy person, obese heart disease, thyroid, and now arthritis. But Covid was just an inconvenience basically. The loss of taste for 3 days and a fever for 2.

I believe that I have a genetic resistance to severe illness from Covid. I was born with it. This is why no single virus, even a really serious viruses which Covid is not and smallpox is, can’t wipe out the entire population.

I am scared of the flu though. The flu can kill me and that’s why I go ahead and get the flu shot. It’s not a silver bullet but it can’t hurt.

It’s a funny thing. I’ve found in my lifetime that quicksand has turned out to be not nearly as big a problem in life as I was led to believe it would be from watching old adventure and horror movies on TV.

But now as an adventurer into the fevered swamps of alternative media I’ve rediscovered that old nemesis. Quicksand abounds out here in the internet hinterlands.

Interesting tidbit. In his movie “The Great Dictator” Charlie Chaplin references loan agreements between a Jewish banker and Tomania. Dictator Hynkel needs the money so he has to moderate toward the Jews temporarily.

I always wondered where Chaplin got that.
