She decided to include what she calls a "myth" about "large sex organs" among African-Americans. As a test to see just how fact-checked these essays were, I merely asked her what sources she had that this is indeed a "myth." 2/
— Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) January 6, 2020
And now Twitter wants to cancel Andrew Sullivan for his skepticism about the Conventional Wisdom’s blanket dismissal of a certain “myth” about racial differences, even though I presume Sullivan has done a lot of first-hand hands-on fact-checking of this question over the decades …
Personally, I defer to Sullivan’s expertise on this subject.
By the way, Ida Bae Wells (N. Hanna Jones) is the New York Times’ 1619 Project expert on American history.

“ In the 1970s, Abdul-Mahdi was a leading member of the Iraqi Communist Party.”
...
“By that time, Abdul-Mahdi adopted Iranian Islamic ideas, eventually merging with the Islamists when Ayatollah Khomeini eradicated the communists and other liberal opposition groups in Iran. Abdul-Mahdi continued his association with Iran and gradually amalgamated his group within the ICP-Central Leadership with the Iranians, rejecting his Marxist past and devoting all his group's time to propagating Khomeini's ideas in France, where he lived at the time. He eventually was made a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, an exiled opposition party and militia that was formed by Iran in Tehran in 1982 but composed exclusively of Iraqi exiles.”

Sullivan is really out of it. How clueless does he have to be to try to have a “conversation about race” with a negress? The only reason she wants to have the “conversation “ is to call him an evil racist. The only reason for the 1619 Project at all is to call him (or any/all white Americans) an evil racist.
Twitter is for Twits…demonstrated on a regular basis every day.
Conventional wisdom is wrong!!!
Native Americans are the most well endowed.
FWIW, Jewish guys are the longest lasting…while Southern “good ol’ boys” are rated #1 in Total Sexual Satisfaction by their female partners.

Gen. Casey Kasem upgraded to Order of Large Trident posthumously:
An application of Allen’s Rule, a well-established principle of within-species variation by distance from the tropics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen%27s_rule#In_humans), suggests that this is probably not a myth for male penises. The conclusions to be drawn about female vulvas, vaginas, clitorises, labia, and other female sex organs are less clear, although I suspect a case could be made for Negro women having on average more pendulous breasts.
Not very scientific, but probably over half of the monster dong type male porn stars in straight porn are at least part black. My friend noticed this and told me. I never watch pornography nor would I notice something like that.
Many here are not so fortunate.

(Posting this comment separately in case Steve decides the other portion of this post is a bit too risque.)
Gay twitter was successful in getting a troubled young porn star to commit suicide a few years ago, for the high crime of noticing that homosexual porn stars have a higher rate of HIV than nonhomos do, so perhaps Sullied could work that angle back at this Ida Bae body.
This is hilarious. Good for Andrew for pointing out how absolutely ridiculous so much of Woke culture is.
I’d mortgage my house to bet Andrew has had a lot more experience with a “diverse” variety of male sex organs than Ms. Wells.

It really must be terrible being a black women in today’s Woke America. In the bad, old days; black men had to content themselves to the company of black women or be faced with extra-judicial wrath of White men. Now miscegenation and homosexuality are no longer taboo but revered. Black men are spoiled for choice.
Hannah Jones is just upset with the realization that black men will sexually gratify themselves with almost anything, including Andrew’s HIV-positive hairy backside. What’s a nice black girl to do?
The black woman was not unattractive - she was thin and stylishly dressed. The white girl was rather plain and ordinary.
As I've mentioned before, I have a dysfunctional alcoholic relative who's married to a black guy. (He's no genius, but he has a well-paying blue-collar job. And he's no swaggering alpha - his wife and mother-in-law walk all over him.) She claims that black women always go out of their way to mistreat her when they see her with her husband and/or her kids.
Not to go all Cosmo on you, but she has also told me that his uncut member is weirdly shaped and "stinky" and "nasty" and claims that he has given her many painful infections. She also says they haven't had sex in years. Supposedly she cheated on him with a woman (!) and he cheated on her with someone old enough to be his grandmother.
(She calls me late at night when she gets drunk and babbles on for hours. I just put the phone on speaker and let her ramble.)
So, yes, white women who end up with black men do tend to have issues.
Almost all stereotypes are true, when discussing averages or deviations from average. Otherwise they wouldn’t be stereotypes. Where wokeness goes wrong is in taking the correct observation that not all members of a group adhere to a stereotype, and distorting that into “all stereotypes are completely arbitrary, uninformative, and harmful”

In the 80s and 90s "plates" were 50lb and the bar + collars (7' × 1" standard bench bar) was 30.

What about the claim that gun lovers are under endowed? I ask, how many have they checked out?
Judging from the porn world… the distribution at the right tail is the reverse of say Physics PHDs: a lot of BBC, some BWC. If there’s some truly “BAC” out there it’s never come up (though can’t say I’ve searched either )
I am not a “first hand expert” on this but discussions with people who really are and casual can’t-help-but-noticing seem to prove my theory, which is that extremes of size in the pants department uually occur in mixed race groups, except ironically in the purebred Japanese, whose size difference can be proven by the fact that Japanese condom makers have to use smaller mandrels on their machines and that Japanese condoms don’t fit men anywhere else.
My father was in the Dominican Republic and remarked that the male population there seemed equine, but never the less the Dominicanas were more than available to foreign (white) men because the size of their bank accounts and the offchance possibility they could get them off the island more than made up for the relative lack of statutory peckerage.
Haitians and Jamaicans seem to be generally huge too. Chris Stein told me that Jean-Michael Basquiat was , besides being ill tempered, exceptionally bejingled even for a Haitian-yes, I know anecdote is the singular of data, but apparently there’s photos on line.
The old retired call girls I knew had been with American blacks, mostly showbiz and athletes, and remarked that they were generally pretty big but that it was softer when fully turgid than that of a white man, so not as imposing to deal with, but that certain girls could handle the biggest customers and certain others could or would not. So that their ‘agents’ could line up the more accomodatious girls with the customers that needed that, while not ruining the merchandise, so to speak, for the rest.
Humans are not quite universally adapted for relations, in other words most fit most but all do not fit all (or are able to do all any good).

Source of this claim:
“ In the 1970s, Abdul-Mahdi was a leading member of the Iraqi Communist Party.”
…
“By that time, Abdul-Mahdi adopted Iranian Islamic ideas, eventually merging with the Islamists when Ayatollah Khomeini eradicated the communists and other liberal opposition groups in Iran. Abdul-Mahdi continued his association with Iran and gradually amalgamated his group within the ICP-Central Leadership with the Iranians, rejecting his Marxist past and devoting all his group’s time to propagating Khomeini’s ideas in France, where he lived at the time. He eventually was made a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, an exiled opposition party and militia that was formed by Iran in Tehran in 1982 but composed exclusively of Iraqi exiles.”
…
“ Abdul Mahdi was nominated by two rival blocs, one led by Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr and outgoing Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, and the other by pro-Iranian political bloc leader Hadi al-Amiri and former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.”

I once heard an NPR discussion about whether penis size mattered to females. The only group who claimed it highly important were heavy women . This makes sense as less well endowed males have a disadvantage at even getting where you need to go with a fat lady. Another NPR radio program proclaimed that upwards of 83% of black females met the criteria for being obese. Combined the two programs suggest that the reason for oversized black johnsons ( which gym class in hs and the army showed me to be true) is that thier females are too fat for anything else. I finally learned something worth knowing from public radio. Thanks NPR!

The tensions that Soleimani was supposedly there to discuss (he wasn’t) were ones that he himself had created. If an arsonist shows up at a fire scene with a bucket of water, he gets no credit because he’s the one who lit the fire in the first place.

What is your authority for that… 45 lb. was accepted weight for York (reasonably accurate…OK, not Eleiko but good enough) plates, and 45 (sin collars) was accepted weight for bar. Gives me 135 for two plates and bar without collars. 225 for four plates, and so on up. Do you disagree?
By contrast, Olympic (with the 2" hole) are kg-based per the IWF standard - so "45lb" is probably actually a 20kg plate. Eleiko plates (the colour-coded, rubber-coated 'bumper' plates) are absolutely, certainly kg-based. And Eleiko bars are 20kg (for the 6' comp bar). 20kg is only a squooch over 44lb, cheaters. So there's kinda no such thing as a genuine 45lb Olympic weight plate... is what I'm getting at. People who sticky-tape 8 pretend-45lb plates together on a 6' Olympic bar, are lifting 9lb lighter than they claim.That's a 2% overstatement - like a guy 5'10½ claiming to be 6': we all know in our heart of hearts that those fuckers ought to go straight to the camps.To think, back in the day we would consider it cheating if anyone used a 6' Standard bar with no collars, and counted it as 30lb (when it's a bit less than 25). Broscience has resulted in a fall in standards, is what I'm sayin'.(I've had the reverse problem: I bought what claimed to be 12.5 and 25kg kettlebells, put them on my scale, and they were 25lb and 50lb respectively. Russian meddling, almost certainly).

I think the answer that anything that casts blacks in a bad light or whites as superior is racist. Questioning anything that casts black in a favorable light or whites unfavorably is ALSO racist. All possible questions can be answered using this simple and convenient framework. No thinking or facts are required.
I haven’t got the wherewithal to confirm this but I think I remember that JP Rushton provide empirical data suggesting larger black penis size, got laughed out of the universe by the left and then Richard Lynn confirmed Rushton and was promptly ignored. I suspect Andrew Sullivan of knowing this, Sullivan has raised questions about race unrealism in lib mags He is a very smart guy who has to tread very softly in lib land because it is only there that his sexual tastes are protected and he is tolerated But I think he knows a lot more about race realism than he lets on. It is too bad that homosexuals are anathema to the uncuked right. I used to know a bunch of gay guys who were were small businessmen.

The problem is that homosexuals just do not seem to be able to confine their proclivities to their private space. At one time they largely did, but no more. They have to make everyone know they are gay and make everyone else publicly proclaim their approval. That’s why gays sued the Christian bakers who would not bake gay wedding cakes. The gays did not want to support the Christian bakers, nor did they (if they have any sense at all) want to eat something made by people who do not approve of them, they wanted to torment them and practice lawfare against them, knowing they did not have the resources to defend against a lawsuit financed by wealthy organizations.

So-called politicians justify their appalling behaviour to themselves because they are part of the “international community”, which is implied to be “larger than 1”, which is somehow linked to having ethics above those of a Nazi Badger and all that, right? Oh wait:
US denies Iran’s FM Zarif visa to address Security Council in violation of UN treaty – reports
And then:
Netanyahu backs away from Soleimani assassination, warns ministers to ‘stay out’ of purely ‘American event’

If the military has any sense, they will revolt.
‘Not leaving Iraq!’ Pentagon clarifies ‘poorly worded’ US withdrawal plan sent by ‘mistake’
Nah. “Too dumb to fight back”.
Well, you actually need a “Military Intelligence Guy” to come up with that brilliant idea for a hit and actually make it happen. That tells you everything about the levels of smart in that particular crab basket.

As the recent British general election proved, winning on Twitter is not the same as winning power. Let the lunatics spend their energies screaming at each other, I say.
Politics has changed. We are now ruled by an unholy alliance of the greed-is-good Economic Right and the degenerate Cultural Left. Anyone who thinks that the victory of Boris Johnson is a victory for actual old-fashioned conservative values is living in a dream world.
Ten years ago, the Left used private listservs, like the 400-member Journolist, to decide and organize what would be their next target, what coordinated lies they would tell, and what legal jujitsu and PR infamy they would inflict on their victims. Nowadays, they do this more or less publicly. While one might think this would lead to their exposure and discrediting, it has worked the opposite way. Now instead of a mere 400 limp wristed journalists, they call on the protean power of what Steve calls the Volunteer Auxiliary Thought Police, in their thousands and tens of thousands. You see them do this? So what. They own the megaphone and the platform and you don't.
Just as secretive Bilderberg has given way to more open Davos and increased its influence, secretive Journolist has given way to more open Twitter and increased its influence.

Hannah Jones is just upset with the realization that black men will sexually gratify themselves with almost anything, including Andrew's HIV-positive hairy backside. What's a nice black girl to do?Replies: @Stan Adams
Yesterday on the train I saw a thirtysomething black woman react with disgust (“F**kin’ bulls**t”) when a black man enthusiastically offered his seat to a twentysomething white woman. He practically begged her to sit down. She declined the offer.
The black woman was not unattractive – she was thin and stylishly dressed. The white girl was rather plain and ordinary.
As I’ve mentioned before, I have a dysfunctional alcoholic relative who’s married to a black guy. (He’s no genius, but he has a well-paying blue-collar job. And he’s no swaggering alpha – his wife and mother-in-law walk all over him.) She claims that black women always go out of their way to mistreat her when they see her with her husband and/or her kids.
Not to go all Cosmo on you, but she has also told me that his uncut member is weirdly shaped and “stinky” and “nasty” and claims that he has given her many painful infections. She also says they haven’t had sex in years. Supposedly she cheated on him with a woman (!) and he cheated on her with someone old enough to be his grandmother.
(She calls me late at night when she gets drunk and babbles on for hours. I just put the phone on speaker and let her ramble.)
So, yes, white women who end up with black men do tend to have issues.
Heh, heh, heh:
Those are concealed tears of joy. Am I the only one here who suspects Khamenei is secretly happy to get rid of a rival like Soleimani, an ambitious military and war-mongerer? My guess is the US got wind the ayatollahs wouldn’t mind if we blew him up. Perhaps his location was leaked. A win for both sides, notwinstanding the fake outrage.
Those were tears of self-pity. He knows that if he continues on his present course (and the political realities of Iran are such that he has no choice - he can't get off the tiger that he is riding) then someday he will be the one in the box.
But putting that aside, I think that he and Soleimani were truly close, like father and son. Even evil dictators are human. However, he and Soleimani should have thought of that before they embarked on this course - live by the sword, die by the sword. He's not sad about death in general (and ESPECIALLY not about the death of Americans and Israelis) - he and Soleimani sent many men, women and children to their death without a bit of hesitation, not just enemies but Muslim suicide bombers too. He didn't cry at their funerals. He's crying because it's HIS friend in the box.

It isn’t. But as far as I was aware, we weren’t in a state of War with Iran. Certainly Congress hasn’t declared one.
I voted for disengagement from the mideast and its endless proxy wars. If this gets us ejected from Iraq and begins the process of us disengaging fromt the region, then bully for Trump. If this leads to wider war, then I’m agin it.
I suspect this is just the fullfillment of the desires that have been enunciated by so many for so long for going to war with Iran – a war that serves the interests of foreign governments, not those of the United States. A war in which I’m sure “Our Greatest Ally” will be right there in alongside us:

Were we in a state of war with Iran when Soleimani was sending EFP's to blow up American troops in Iraq? When he plotted to blow up the Saudi Ambassador in Washington? I would say that Iran has been fighting a covert or cold war with the US pretty much continuously since 1979. They don't exactly try to hide their hatred of the Great Satan - it's "Death to America" all the time.

There are plenty of shiite militias in Iraq. Iraq is 2/3 shiite. So it isn’t far fetched to believe that Iran would be giving them weapons. They almost certainly were/are. Everybody in that part of the World stirs the pot.

i can't speak for that site or that far back but by the late 2000s at least "n plates" means n plates per side of the bar. 1 plate = 45 lbs bar + 1 45 lbs plate on reach side = 135lbs.

Assuming the RT report is even true, Washington probably asked Netanyahu to distance himself, just like they wouldn’t let Israel participate in the invasion of Iraq (even though Saddam was sending missiles toward Israel and they had the right of self defense). Many Muslims (and some people around here) think that Washington is controlled by Zionists already so both Washington and Jerusalem like to put some daylight between themselves now and then.
In this case, what Netanyahu was supposedly saying has the advantage of being true – Israel had nothing to do with the hit on Soleimani. Trump didn’t ask Israel just as he didn’t ask (or tell) anyone else.

So maybe a larger flaccid member in hot climes serves functionally as a radiator for cooling the blood that flows through it. Those from colder backgrounds are growers, not show-ers, keeping the core temps warm until it’s actually time for action.
If that were the case, it would be true not just for men of African descent, but for men from other tropical climates (India, SE Asia, Amazonia, etc.)

Being the man with the biggest penis in the world doesn’t seem to be a very lucrative occupation, judging by his shabby domestic surroundings. I assume it’s not functioning properly, or he’d at least be getting a few porn gigs to make ends meet.
There is a "sweet spot" here, to be visually impressive without being unmanageable.
Several famous actresses and female celebrities are openly " size queens" who admit they prefer and chase such members. This phenomenon goes back at least to the Old Testament, see Ezekiel 23:
” I presume Sullivan has done a lot of first-hand hands-on fact-checking of this question over the decades”
I presume that most racist white men have done some hands-on fact-checking of this sort. And those who haven’t almost certainly fantasize about it.
Congress has not declared a war since December, 1941 but we’ve had several. Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power not only to declare war but also to “grant letters of marque and reprisal”. I think you can consider the whole section to be obsolete as a practical matter – that’s just not how things are done anymore in the modern world.
Were we in a state of war with Iran when Soleimani was sending EFP’s to blow up American troops in Iraq? When he plotted to blow up the Saudi Ambassador in Washington? I would say that Iran has been fighting a covert or cold war with the US pretty much continuously since 1979. They don’t exactly try to hide their hatred of the Great Satan – it’s “Death to America” all the time. For various domestic political and practical considerations, we’ve pretended not to notice their provocations and they have always been pretty careful to act thru proxies and in a way that would preserve deniability for them. But Trump is not the kind of guy who is into polite diplomatic fictions.

Nobody who is paying attention (including you) thinks that this is anything other than foreign powers using America as their bitch to fight the wars they don't want to fright themselves.
Yes, for Trump to remain in office he has to keep the greaseballs* divided and fighting one another. If he lets them all get onside as they were a few months ago he’s gone. Now he’s got the neocons fighting the Obama clowns.

Too bad that Trump has a long memory. He even remembers when the Iranians took our diplomats hostage in 1979. Trump is not the kind of guy who is willing to let bygones be bygones.

Agreed. Nothing good comes out of that part of the world, ever. I’m not naive as to what the consequences of the US leaving the Middle East will be, but what exactly is the alternative? The status quo is not going to be sustainable for much longer. 1/4th of our national debt is due to the legacies of Iraq and Afghanistan alone. It’s best to start planning our exit now while we still have some cards to play and can influence some of the outcomes.
Iranian hegemony (within the limits that is the result of the Shi’ites being a minority of the populace outside of Iraq-nobody seems to ever point out the demographic gap there) in much of the Fertile Crescent is inevitable by dint of its population and national cohesion. Why is this such a threat to American interests, though? It is a threat to Saudi interests. It is a threat to Israeli interests. Nobody bothers to explain why that is a threat to ours, just like anything else in the Middle East. We have our own oil. We don’t need theirs. And does anybody still seriously believe “We must fight them over there, so we don’t fight them over here”, given how the last couple of decades have gone?
Soleimani’s icing should be used as an opportunity to disengage while Quds is temporarily decapitated, not the other way around. That’s what is maddening about Trump.

That’s why I asked if they were Olympic (2″ diameter hole) plates. I’ve always trained with, and preferred, Standard (1″ bar diameter).
York’s webpage for 1 inch standard contour cast-iron plate has what I would expect (i.e., 50lb).
https://yorkbarbell.com/product/1-inch-standard-contour-cast-iron-plate/
Oddly, York’s standard range also has 35lb, which is Not Who We Are: in my day it was all very predictable: 2.5/5/10/25/50 with the occasional weird-brand 15lb-er just lying around.
35lb shows that heresy has run amok and that the End Times have started.
By contrast, Olympic (with the 2″ hole) are kg-based per the IWF standard – so “45lb” is probably actually a 20kg plate.
Eleiko plates (the colour-coded, rubber-coated ‘bumper’ plates) are absolutely, certainly kg-based. And Eleiko bars are 20kg (for the 6′ comp bar).
20kg is only a squooch over 44lb, cheaters.
So there’s kinda no such thing as a genuine 45lb Olympic weight plate… is what I’m getting at.
People who sticky-tape 8 pretend-45lb plates together on a 6′ Olympic bar, are lifting 9lb lighter than they claim.
That’s a 2% overstatement – like a guy 5’10½ claiming to be 6′: we all know in our heart of hearts that those fuckers ought to go straight to the camps.
To think, back in the day we would consider it cheating if anyone used a 6′ Standard bar with no collars, and counted it as 30lb (when it’s a bit less than 25).
Broscience has resulted in a fall in standards, is what I’m sayin’.
(I’ve had the reverse problem: I bought what claimed to be 12.5 and 25kg kettlebells, put them on my scale, and they were 25lb and 50lb respectively. Russian meddling, almost certainly).
Which one?

Then I read credible sources talking about it, first in a Pakistani military journal's analysis of Saddam's rocket truck hiding campaign, then I think it's mentioned in Hiro's Longest War.

Plus, it's 2020, not 1980. This has real meaning because demographics.
The Nazi Germans were known for sending herds of pigs into minefields. The Communist Soviets were known for sending herds of German and Italian POW's into minefields. But nobody in WWII was so insane as to send their own 13 year old boys into minefields.
Yet during the 80's, the Islamic Republic of Iran was quite willing to take teenage and preteen boys, give them plastic shoes and a plastic key on a string, then send them out to run across Iraqi minefields in the hope some would clear a path. The plastic shoes maybe were to make detonation less likely. The plastic key was for the martyr to open the gates of Paradise with after getting his legs blown off & bleeding out in the minefield.
The landscape was pretty close to a flat plain, like a billiard table. The Iraqi army had no problem with this tactic. It was quite a bit more suicidal than WW I "over the top" charges.
I do not know how many Iranian boys were expended in this manner, but it must have been thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. How many of those boys would have married and had at least one child in the last 40 years? Even two or more?
Iran's TFR dropped below replacement back sometime in the 90's and has not recovered. The mullahs no longer have a blank check on manpower, and possibly the 1980's war with Iraq is one reason. The Mullahs were willing to fight to someone else's last child.Replies: @kaganovitch, @Anonymous

I don’t buy that. This isn’t the 1980s anymore, anymore than it is the 1960s in China. Iran is specifically hostile to four countries, two of which aren’t Western and another one is pseudo-Western on a good day. The Iranians get along with the EU just fine, their involvement in assassinations on European (and Indian, South American, African, Thai… other countries they have relations-as normal as it can get for a regime like that-with) territory notwithstanding. Like the USSR and China, the revolutionary phase is over. It is deeply telling that Soleimani is most widely loathed in the Arab World-and with good reason considering his activities there.
It is a nasty regime that pathologically lies to the world, and people whining about what Trump just did neglect the fact that Soleimani has been a legitimate military target through at least Bush and Obama as well through his open targeting of American military personnel. But that is not the same thing as an apocalyptic desire to set the world on fire with a conflict of civilizations. Even Soleimani, probably in charge of the hardest line organization in Tehran and well known for his hatred of Jews and disdain of America, was pragmatic enough to be willing to cooperate with the US for a brief while in ’01-’03 when he saw it was in Tehran’s interests to do so. And it is precisely because the mullahs understand they can never “win” a direct conflict with the US that they invest in the tactics that they do.
(Really, this whole topic reveals just how harshly history is going to judge Bush’s foreign policy. Quds wouldn’t have had the chance to kill so many Americans had we not ejected Saddam and laid the groundwork for Iran’s dominance over Iraq by booting the Ba’athists out, to say nothing of the Axis of Evil blunder that helped kibosh Crocker’s work with Soleimani. They hate us, we hate them, but we still had weirdly aligning interests in Afghanistan, strangely enough.)
Look at Cuba, look at N. Korea , look at the USSR - long after the revolutionary phase is over, the bitter aftertaste remains, for as long as the winners of the revolution still sit on the throne.
I don't buy the idea that they are puppy dogs now. Puppy dogs who just dropped missiles on our bases in Iraq.
That being said, the Iranians know how to send signals. Hopefully the signal here is "we've had our "revenge". Now bomb some of our missile launchers and we'll both call it a day for now."

Iran has the smartest people in the area (now, after Israel), and did for millennia. Yes, yes, the mullahs are idiots. We were scared of QS because he wasn’t.

Rumor, being taken seriously by checkmarks but there’s no footage: Iran is bombarding the general area of American installations in Iraq with their copies of Soviet scuds. They’re replaying “The War of the Cities” but against an opponent whose missiles are much more accurate.
When I heard that Arab rocketeers tossed the gimbals and gyroscopes so that more fuel could mean more range, even if aiming was now pointing and hoping, I refused to believe it (the source was a good but kosher SNCO who also said that we should kill Arab children because it would briefly shock the adults into paralysis). Then I read credible sources talking about it, first in a Pakistani military journal’s analysis of Saddam’s rocket truck hiding campaign, then I think it’s mentioned in Hiro’s Longest War. American missiles on the other hand are both accurate and numerous enough to wastefully self-correct. How many cultural sites is Iran wiling to lose?
As long as GPS is available (USA, Europe, Russia all have their own) and isn't turned off, no reason they couldn't used that. After all, USA hobbyists flew a model airplane across the Atlantic Ocean in 2003 (USA!USA!USA!).

there must be some evolutionary function to homosexuality that we perhaps don’t understand or it wouldn’t persist.
You might give some consideration to the idea that any heritable source of it is a weak vector.
Trump--to his credit--realized that our "elites" were screwing the American people, with pretty much every "consensus" policy choice. Mass immigration--driving down wages, driving up housing, balkanizign the nation--industry to China, pointless foreign wars, infrastructure decaying to 2nd rate.

>It will be a great day for civilization when medical science figures out what goes wrong to create homosexuals and we can put an end to it.
No. I think there’s a reason homosexuality has always been around and will never go away. It is a variant of nature, neither intrinsically good nor bad, and has the potential to work toward societal interests occasionally. Just to cite one example: I don’t think Da Vinci would have done what he did if he became just another Florentine rotary, married, and had kids. Being an illegitimate, unschooled, skeptical homosexual-aka, someone who was not “normal”-probably helped fuel his brilliance.
Do I think that is necessary to be brilliant? No, absolutely not. Sexuality is completely uncorrelated with intelligence or creativity. But not being likely to have kids means you need to find some other raison d’etre with your life, which can either be wonderful, or horrible depending on the person and culture.
>But then has the ego and attention span of a toddler. Easily distracted off into these “whose dick is bigger” squabbles, instead of following through on his MAGA campaign. I knew Trump was Trump, but i was still hoping for better than this.
The real problem is that he’s completely discrediting nationalism through his aggressive immaturity and self-absorption, even on politician standards. I think it’ll be temporary given that the globalists have learned absolutely nothing and forgotten absolutely nothing (thus leading to ham-handed policies that will court backlash) from the whole Trump experience, but it’ll be real.
It is true that Trump’s personality and outright comical past is a hard sell. Even people who voted for him openly admitted that they were doing so in spite of it, not because of it. You can imagine the effect it has on the type of person you’ll need in order to enforce real ideological change in DC. But the real problem is less his personality than that the man is totally stateless. He was at his best in the debates when his opponents were so visibly out of touch with reality-Jeb Bush on the Middle East, for example-that he could go on a sheer WTF reaction and achieve an emperor has no clothes effect, but that didn’t mean he had any deeper thoughts or focus for more than 5 minutes on the subject.

But even there: the wall is a dumb idea, IMO. You can crack down on illegal immigration far more effectively by instituting E-Verify and making life absolute hell for people who dare to hire illegal immigrants. It’d be far cheaper, and far more difficult for the Usual Suspects to try to manipulate the emotions of some of the American public.
The whole focus on illegal immigration is myopic, to an extent: the real problem is with the sheer levels of immigration (especially of the unskilled variant) that our elites utterly insist on having, despite the decreasing opportunities that many Americans are facing with an increasingly automated economy, to say nothing of exacerbating the modern American tendency for rentier economics and the institutionalized insanity of the chain migration system and the diversity lottery. It’s a basic supply and demand question. I’m far from a hardline anti-immigrant dude-my own ideal would be one that focuses on extracting the top scientists from places like Iran or Russia or (before recently, now the job prospects are better in China) China, while maybe saying no to the 10 millionth Guatemalan peasant-but the USA is a finite place with a finite amount of jobs available, and we have a duty first and foremost to citizens like any other country in the world. If the oligarchs and bien-pensants don’t like it, too damned bad. It’s that simple. Caplan’s America would be a dystopia for anybody besides the top 10% of our economy.
Had Trump made these points coherently in 2015 and 2016 rather than going for the flame-bait on Muslim bans or walls, and moreover not tried to appease a flailing GOP on economic questions, he probably could have had a much more resounding victory over Hillary. Which would be kind of useful when Democrats argue he’s an illegitimate President.
Lunacy. Countless diseases and illnesses are variants of nature. None are good or bad, but no one wants to be afflicted with one. Homosexuality is a like a species wide auto immune disorder.

Why not? It isn’t like the Iranians have the ability come to whatever friendly naval port we’re in or to the Atlantic, and stop the US fleet from sailing there. At best, they can send some suicide torpedo missions out.
The US conventionally outstrips everybody by a ridiculous margin. Our enemies have been aware of that for 30 years now. Other than China and (in the highly specialized case of nuclear war) Russia, I don’t think other powers *can* challenge the US conventionally, whether through soft or hard power, long-term: they simply lack the manpower and economic ability to do that. So, they aren’t bothering.
I think preserving this ability is a GOOD thing, for both us and the world. Let’s then focus on getting our crap together so that we can, within reason, rather than engaging in the same failed policies that are further putting the United States in the fiscal and political hole, which increases the risk of us losing everything with the wrong series of events. It’s going to happen anyway: the American people are increasingly sick of the global policeman role even if our ruling elites aren’t, which will reflect in the eventual political candidates that end up in the White House.
>Look at Cuba, look at N. Korea , look at the USSR – long after the revolutionary phase is over, the bitter aftertaste remains, for as long as the winners of the revolution still sit on the throne.
Yes: for the people in those poor countries. But the USSR is gone, North Korea is an Imperial Japan-esque nutcase that is dangerous but managable, Cuba… does anybody pay attention to them outside of the IC? I think the mullahs will eventually disappear, too. But 1) I don’t think that’s going to stop a lot of the Iranian power politics that we’re hell-bent on containing and 2) one of the best ways of keeping the mullahs in power is confirming their propaganda on a yearly basis.
The world is full of bad people doing bad things. There is a difference between those whose are bent on setting the world aflame and those who aren’t, even if they want the same goal, and they will subsequently bet met differently. Better a Stalin than a Trotsky. They both wanted world revolution and were willing to encourage it wherever they sought it. But one wanted to plunge the world into war over it, and one didn’t.

Plus, it’s 2020, not 1980. This has real meaning because demographics.
The Nazi Germans were known for sending herds of pigs into minefields. The Communist Soviets were known for sending herds of German and Italian POW’s into minefields. But nobody in WWII was so insane as to send their own 13 year old boys into minefields.
Yet during the 80’s, the Islamic Republic of Iran was quite willing to take teenage and preteen boys, give them plastic shoes and a plastic key on a string, then send them out to run across Iraqi minefields in the hope some would clear a path. The plastic shoes maybe were to make detonation less likely. The plastic key was for the martyr to open the gates of Paradise with after getting his legs blown off & bleeding out in the minefield.
The landscape was pretty close to a flat plain, like a billiard table. The Iraqi army had no problem with this tactic. It was quite a bit more suicidal than WW I “over the top” charges.
I do not know how many Iranian boys were expended in this manner, but it must have been thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. How many of those boys would have married and had at least one child in the last 40 years? Even two or more?
Iran’s TFR dropped below replacement back sometime in the 90’s and has not recovered. The mullahs no longer have a blank check on manpower, and possibly the 1980’s war with Iraq is one reason. The Mullahs were willing to fight to someone else’s last child.

Every black guy wasn’t shy about displaying his considerable assets in the change room, but the white guys were all shy and decorous for some reason. Except for Roy, a redneck who was among the strongest, and whose assets at rest dwarfed those of every black guy. He sure made up for what others may have lacked.

Yeah, I agree. I just wonder how much “the gays” are really represented on the left and how much it is really Jewish lawyers ratcheting up divisions among the goyim. Wasn’t gay marriage pursued by Jewish lawyers? Doesn’t Sullivan describe himself as a conservative? The gay guys I knew in the 70’s would have puked at the thought of gay marriage. They thought of being gay as being free from such “bourgeois” institutions. Obviously things have changed I don’t even know any gays anymore but I wonder who they are considered as a whole and not defined by the left.
When you think about it, having a truly enormous penis is dysfunctional in that they just don’t fit into any woman’s vagina feasibly, thus defeating their own purpose. There are several such cases of this which are well known, such as Jonah Falcon. The late John Holmes was pretty much in this category for practical purposes: seasoned porn actresses had to “work up to it” and normal women fled in terror.
There is a “sweet spot” here, to be visually impressive without being unmanageable.

I wish I could take some solace in this, but the reason the British general election went the way it did is most Brits don’t have Twitter. On matters where the majority of the electorate need not be consulted, like say, removing Confederate memorials, sacralizing mentally ill transsexuals, enabling Satanist child molesters, privileging the melanin-rich, installing and celebrating ersatz marriages, persecuting Christian businesses and unguilty whites generally, etc. etc., Twitter not only foresees the future, it organizes, creates and accelerates the future. It is not just for convenience and spite that dissent is banned from the platform. They also don’t want dissenters listening too closely or offering too much resistance as plans are laid, stories are coordinated, and strategies prepared.
Ten years ago, the Left used private listservs, like the 400-member Journolist, to decide and organize what would be their next target, what coordinated lies they would tell, and what legal jujitsu and PR infamy they would inflict on their victims. Nowadays, they do this more or less publicly. While one might think this would lead to their exposure and discrediting, it has worked the opposite way.

Yes. So did the rest of the core Trump base.
I don’t think any part of DJT’s core base, the one with him from the beginning, the one that made him the most unlikely president in history, that took him through the all-critical primaries, were pro-intervention or pro-Empire. They were all (and certainly his activist wing was) against the endless/pointless wars; they all cheered when he said “No more policing the world; we need to take care of America first; end the stupid wars.”

I too wonder about this. I do not desire a new Iranian War, but as I understand it, Soleimani was a military leader fighting against the US, so therefore he was a legitimate target of the US. Of course it is not at all clear to me why US troops are in Iraq to get attacked by Soleimani’s troops in the first place, but that part was already decided, so it’s irrelevant here. The US military is killing lots of people all the time in Mesopotamia, but now that it has killed a general instead of some hapless militiaman, it is suddenly beyond the pale? It is as if the global commentariat have suddenly simultaneously come down with an acute case of Droit du Seigneur: only a king shall kill a king. To be whacked by a drone missile is beneath the dignity of a General!
Maybe there is some legalistic nuance that escapes me, like that Soleimani was in Iraq at the invitation of an Iraqi commander who was nominally an ally of the US, so this was a violation of diplomatic safe passage, but if so, I haven’t heard anyone mention it.

And even if true, did the Iraqi military notify the US military that Soleimani was being accorded safe passage? If not, that was a bit of an oversight. Maybe it is a question the US intel should have asked given that Soleimani was travelling through a normal transportation hub, but if he was a legitimate target at any other time, the onus is on anyone who claims he was not a legitimate target at this moment.

My point was that 17% (or 22%) may or may not be enough to swing any given election, but it is certainly enough to recruit, organize and inspire lynch-type mobs large enough to undertake a variety of civilization wrecking activities. So I couldn’t share in Smithsonian_6‘s serenity about Twitter mobs.
Maybe there is some legalistic nuance that escapes me, like that Soleimani was in Iraq at the invitation of an Iraqi commander who was nominally an ally of the US, so this was a violation of diplomatic safe passage, but if so, I haven't heard anyone mention it.

Have you thought through the implications of the precedent here?
That is to say, there are norms of how nations behave with each other. They are enforced by tradition and consensus, a kind of multi-genertional gentleman’s agreement. (e.g., No one used chemical weapons in the 1939 – 1945 war for that reason.)
Do we want a world of normalized state-sponsored assassinations of foreign leaders in peacetime (“proxy wars,” whatever that nebulous concept means [and it seems to me it can mean nearly anything, really] do not count), do we want that to be the norm in international relations by the second quarter of this century?
This was a bad, bad move; Tweetman might have felt, these past few days, the regret and shame he ought to. I can only hope.
Iran is not a normal nation, they are a rogue state and Soleimani was the leader of a terrorist organization. We are not going to start firing missiles at the Dutch ambassador - this was a special case. We are not at peace with Iran -they had just attacked our embassy and Gen. S. was there to plan more attacks with his pro-Iranian militia buddy who went down with him, the "diplomatic mission" cover story is bullshit. If you believe that, I have a bridge that I want to sell you. Norms of diplomacy exist for reasons of reciprocity -there is no reciprocity with Iran -they have already shown that they do not respect diplomatic norms. Trump regrets nothing, nor should he. If nothing else, this has taken the focus off the BS impeachment nonsense.
Now, should Trump have pushed the button on this guy? Maybe, maybe not. But that is from a pragmatic cost/benefit point of view, not from a legal or moral one.

Okay, so now I have heard someone mention it.
Still, it doesn’t seem to be the take that is dominating the airwaves. Instead the take is more like, “A man of Soleimani’s stature should not be rubbed out by a drone.”
The fact that a hokey objection is predominating when a legitimate objection is supposedly available, does make me wonder if this diplomatic mission narrative isn’t a retcon to make the assassination seem more dastardly.
As you say, big if true.
And even if true, did the Iraqi military notify the US military that Soleimani was being accorded safe passage? If not, that was a bit of an oversight. Maybe it is a question the US intel should have asked given that Soleimani was travelling through a normal transportation hub, but if he was a legitimate target at any other time, the onus is on anyone who claims he was not a legitimate target at this moment.
From a purely pragmatic point of view, the assassination seems … inefficient for MAGA goals, but then efficacy has never been a hallmark of this administration.

It’s not: anybody who states that Soleimani was some generic “foreign official” doesn’t know what they are talking about. Given the record of Iranian intelligence flagrantly engaging in assassination around the globe, including an attempt to hire a drug cartel to kill the Saudi ambassador on US soil in 2011, as well as their involvement in the IUD-related deaths and dismemberment of who-knows-how-many US personnel, the hypocrisy reeks to high heaven.
According to my old man, part of the answer as to why he hasn’t been iced before was simply a lack of good, pinpoint intelligence in tracking him down. Soleimani was a spy chief, not a dictator or a diplomat: he didn’t exactly travel with a giant noticeable convoy. Trump saw an opportunity he liked and took it.
As for the why, Occam’s Razor: Trump is Trump. Maybe he thought it’d send the right message to the Iranians as a bluff in order to get the Iranians to sit down and talk like the North Koreans. Launching unpredictable, erratic attacks in order to try and force a peaceful deal afterwards is trademark Donaldian behavior. Or Maybe it was a play to appease hardline anti-Iranian Republicans on the Hill with the impeachment noises. Maybe it was just a way to play the tough guy for the 2020 election. Maybe a combination of all three.
I don’t exactly buy that he’s been duped by the neocons. Whatever Trump’s flaws-and there are many-on foreign policy, when left to his own devices, like Obama before him, his heart clearly just isn’t into regime change for its own sake. If that weren’t the case, he’d have launched Operation SYRIAN FREEDOM years ago with full-hearted bipartisan encouragement. But currying favor with hardline Permanent War crowd? That’s definitely plausible. Jacking up troop levels in Iraq as a response to the assassination is a good sign of that. With the crush BDS movement picking up steam, it’s also pretty clear that the AIPAC goons who insist that Iran is the second coming of Nazi Germany are also in force on the Hill, and Kushner/Ivanka can always be relied upon as a conduit for their views…
This had nothing to do with self-defense, you braying horse’s ass.
Indeed. How anybody could listen to Hannity’s canned slogans and take him to be anything other than a shill, a stooge, and a clown is a mystery to me.
Yes, actually. In fact I rather approve of belligerent leaders killing each other directly rather than involving millions of their pawns in mass slaughter on their way to maybe putting the other guy in dock for “crimes against humanity” a few years later. This should make said leaders much less belligerent, or at least make the belligerent ones much more scarce.
Supposedly, we are not at peace. Yes, I know we haven’t had a proper traditional Declaration of War since 1941, but Korea, Vietnam and Iraq each featured the President going to Congress and seeking some kind of “authorization”, no matter how lame. Yes, I agree that feels like a hollow and cheap version of a true Constitutional Declaration, but if we are considering these “authorizations” illegitimate, then we have to consider every casualty inflicted since 1945 illegitimate, and, so far as I can see, no one is saying that, so they can’t suddenly say this one casualty was illegitimate without also objecting to all the prior ones.

The plastic shoes maybe were to make detonation less likely. The plastic key was for the martyr to open the gates of Paradise with after getting his legs blown off & bleeding out in the minefield.
The landscape was pretty close to a flat plain, like a billiard table. The Iraqi army had no problem with this tactic. It was quite a bit more suicidal than WW I "over the top" charges.
I do not know how many Iranian boys were expended in this manner, but it must have been thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. How many of those boys would have married and had at least one child in the last 40 years? Even two or more?

Or “discredited”. I’ve had several occasions when I was reading something and some study or book was referred to as “discredited”. Sure enough, when you follow the link to the cited source, it’s just someone else calling it discredited, and so on. If you follow the citations for a couple more links, you eventually get to the original source of the discreditation, and what do you find? A study presenting an alternative theory? A critical piece pointing out flaws in the methodology? Nope. Just someone calling the author a racist.
This is actually often true for how the NY Times covers race. I remember reading an article on health outcome disparities and it was just like “because of the legacy of slavery black people are more like to die of xxx,” just like a throw away line suggesting causation with zero evidence or citations. Sullivan’s tactic is actually pretty interesting. Just being like “hey, I noticed you made the following empirical claim, where is that data?”

US military is an American force that works exclusively outside America. So…
@Jack
So the US narrative is 100% bullshit. Soleimani wasn’t a terrorist, and we didn’t bomb a terrorist. He was an enemy general, and we bombed an (“the” enemy general, apparently) enemy general, at a time when Iraq has been winding down. All this talk of atrocities and terrorism is bullshit.
And all the talk of Iran as the boogeyman is bullshit, too. They never shot down an American airliner with 290 civilians on board, over our airspace. We did that to them. Basically the only Americans they kill are our military in Iraq, who have no more business being there than Iranian soldiers have invading and occupying Canada or Mexico.
Saudi Arabia killed 3000 American civilians on 9/11 and they’re our “ally.” I don’t recall the Iranians ever doing anything like that to us. The Saudis export terrorist Wahhabism all across the Muslim world, not the Iranians. These are the apes carrying out terrorist attacks on Western countries, not Iran.
Israel strafed the USS Liberty and killed dozens of our sailors while supposedly allied to us, not Iran. Israel carried out numerous terrorist attacks and false-flag attacks against Western forces during their founding. Iran never did anything like that, AFAIK.
The worst American Pravda can ever hang on Iran is the Beirut Marine barracks bombing which 1 was against hostile occupying military personnel and 2 was in the middle of a civil war and 3 IIRC hasn’t a shred of proof to connect to Iran (Hezbollah is presumed to have carried it out and there’s speculation that it was Iran’s idea; an iron-clad case, it ain’t).
Sounds like Saudi Arabia and Israel are bigger enemies to America than Iran is. Certainly sounds like they’re bigger terrorist threats to America.
Let the Israelis fight their own battles. They’re the ones embroiled in a regional cold war against Iran, fighting alongside their bosom buddies, the terror-exporting Saudies. Not us.
Anyone who thinks American troops are safer in Iraq now than they were before Soleimani was killed, raise your hand. K, put your hands down. Now raise your hand if you think Iran is currently scheming to redouble their efforts to kill American troops in Iraq…

The primary function of every species is to survive. A species survives by reproducing. Homosexuality is the direct antithesis to that most basic function.
However, it's hardly inconceivable, pardon the term, that homos who are forced to marry, as is the case in many if not most societies, will have more children than others. Simply because few things excuse you from the detested sex act better than pregnancy.

Israel strafed the USS Liberty and killed dozens of our sailors
Which was an accident for which they apologized and paid compensation.
Try not building your viewpoint on a foundation of blatant lies.
Have you looked at “Ida Bae”‘s Twitter bio?
Yeah, lol. Mixing English and Danish means her name is:
“Ida Poop”. Good thing she’s not from Boise!
Must be one of those 140 IQ journolists @ NYT .
Of course. As fellow Aryans like a certain corporal himself, they can be counted on to be truth-tellers. As that corporal once said “This is the last territorial demand I have to make in Europe”. He was true to his word. The demands he made after that were for surrender, not territory.
They didn't.

Saudis did 9/11. (Saudis attempted the previous two attempted attacks against the towers, too, IIRC) All the hijackers were Saudi, or all except one, I forget. So Saudi Arabia is far more responsible than Iraq or Afghanistan were.
If Iranians had done the same, Zionists would call it deliberate, and the explanation lies. Fortunately, Iran doesn’t even cause such “accidents” for Zionists to mischaracterize.
Try not to be blatantly deceptive in your phony pursuit of truth. Btw, “lies” is plural and you only had one semantic quibble with my comments. Who’s the liar, again?

And American citizens made up the mafia. Doesn't make the mafia an extension of government policy. (And, no, they weren't all Saudis).
Unlikely, but you probably screwed up less than we did. Legit sorry for your loss, and ours.
To a large extent it’s disgust that the homosexual lobby is actively proselytising, actively looking to gain new recruits from amongst the young.
When homosexuals were in the closet nobody cared all that much about them one way or the other. They were mostly ignored. As long as they genuinely wanted to be left alone they mostly were left alone. But when children are exposed to propaganda extolling the joys of anal sex I think it’s reasonable to be disgusted.
It was an accident. Have you ever been anywhere near a war zone?

Legally correct, biologically wrong. Pedophilia is homosexual reproduction.Replies: @Yngvar
50% of men convicted in Norway for child sex abuse are same-sex abusers. That’s a lot for the homos being just 1% of the population.
There’s always a problem with self-reported data but anyway….

That’s some vintage yiddishe kopf mass media bantz, circa 1985, Mr. Boomer. Think I saw it in a Captain America comic once.

Rumor, being taken seriously by checkmarks but there's no footage: Iran is bombarding the general area of American installations in Iraq with their copies of Soviet scuds. They're replaying "The War of the Cities" but against an opponent whose missiles are much more accurate.
When I heard that Arab rocketeers tossed the gimbals and gyroscopes so that more fuel could mean more range, even if aiming was now pointing and hoping, I refused to believe it (the source was a good but kosher SNCO who also said that we should kill Arab children because it would briefly shock the adults into paralysis). Then I read credible sources talking about it, first in a Pakistani military journal's analysis of Saddam's rocket truck hiding campaign, then I think it's mentioned in Hiro's Longest War. American missiles on the other hand are both accurate and numerous enough to wastefully self-correct. How many cultural sites is Iran wiling to lose?Replies: @Joe Stalin

As long as GPS is available (USA, Europe, Russia all have their own) and isn’t turned off, no reason they couldn’t used that. After all, USA hobbyists flew a model airplane across the Atlantic Ocean in 2003 (USA!USA!USA!).

One person very dear to me was in the Army during the 2d World War. He had about four quite dissimilar postings over those 2.5 years. He said he knew nothing and saw nothing of homosexuality in the ranks. My father was in the Air Force just after, for a period straddling the start of the Korean War (and had two postings). He said there was a cross-dresser in one of his units – a man who wore lipstick off duty. By my father’s description, people would steer clear of him, but he was otherwise left alone. Pretty sure this sort of thing was very far from people’s minds. It got to be an issue because a critical mass of homosexual men wanted applause from the rest of the world and an acknowledgement of their Special qualities.
Then in the 70s they started to become politically aggressive, with results with which we're all too familiar.

Charles Murray didn’t express concern back in October. He joked about it. Angela Saini is a joke.

Growing up in Australia even during the 60s homosexuality wasn’t an issue. People knew they existed but they kept to themselves and everybody was happy with that situation. If they were discreet about their activities nobody bothered them. At my high school it was a total non-issue. One or two of the teachers and a handful of the pupils may well have been homosexual but if so they kept quiet about it and nobody cared. It just wasn’t an issue.
