How were Iraq, Syria, Libya & Viet Nam our enemies? When did they EVER attack us?

Illegal wars are, by definition, war crimes, and all those who commit war crimes are the REAL enemies of America & what it s'posedly stands for.

Goes a long way to explain this inexplicably moronic (and what I believe ultimately counter-productive to the Democrats) 'Russian conspiracy' campaign. The issue was concocted out of whole cloth, not primarily to smear Trump, but to provide cover (and justification) for trying to Subvert the election campaign by a high level orchestrated strategy of criminal actions. Problem is - they lost anyways, and now they are stuck with the meme. BECAUSE without a 'Russian' bogeyman, they ultimately can not keep a lid on the massively explosive evidence out there.

That's a "very kind" assessment. I would suggest that "big time" college athletics (primarily football and basketball) are a huge milti-billion dollar industry which operates "unchecked" by outside agencies. They are clearly the "tail" wagging the dog Universities simply provide the "venue" and identification for the programs. They are completely or nearly completely self-sustaining entities and usually far outweigh the academic side of Universities in influence and power. Colleges and Universities are far "more know" by having winning football or basketball programs than for having strong academic programs. Gary Crum	0	not toxic

Not sure what story you are refering to, but I'm thinking it must be the Russian story that claimed it was the bombing of a nearby warehouse that had th chemicals. When the initial reports of gas being used came out in i think Alepo, (Obama 'line' was crossed - or not), a significant group of conservative writers in this site said that it was the rebels that set off the chemicals and it was just a ploy to make Assad look bad. Isn't it funny how the bad guys turn coats when the American administration changed. I believe we are experiencing 'the fog of war'. Lot's of second guessing, lot's of supposed reports and plots.

Good point. White Supremacists, Nazis, and the White Nationalist and Supremacist branch of the Alt Right (not all of the Alt Right is racist) support Trump, but not every Trump supporter supports the racist views of these groups. A similar point applies to Black LIves Matter-- there may be members or supporters of that group who have racist views of whites, but not every supporter of Black Lives Matter is racist (for that matter, you see a lot of whites in the Black Lives Matter parade). Also, judging from the comments from politicians, not only liberals are opposed to racism-- conservatives are as well. The Nazi's, KKK, and numerous white supremacist groups at the parade-- including some who attend these parades just to beat up protestors (like the "White Fight Club") are groups that very few people in the country support but events like this get them a lot of media exposure.	1	toxic
I for one remember when climate change was called global warming, but the name had to be changed because there is no evidence that the earth is unnaturally warming. We know the earth goes through extreme climate changes, and frequently freezes and warms. The problem with "climate change" is that technically the climate is always changing, and people have always moved or resettled as a result. While there is no doubt carbon monoxide emissions like what is happening in India and China is extremely bad for the envirement, in that it makes the air toxic to breathe, to simply say all emissions are detrimental to earth is blatantly false. Look at what happens every time a volcano erupts. Decades worth of "man made" pollution happens in an instant. This is an undeniable fact. The earth is always changing and it's up to people to adapt and survive. Also, the science isn't as concrete as you think, since the original ocean temp readings were taken on a wood boat and the new ones on a diesel.	0	not toxic

Thanks Helmsworth, but I think I will follow the advice of my pediatrician (instead of you) who believes the current vaccination schedule is way too packed with too many unnecessary vaccinations and that most certainly the mercury contained in the flu vaccine should not be given to children or pregnant women. Also, (instead of you) I think I'll listen to what Dr. Bernadine Patricia Healy said about vaccines and autism. Remember her? The first female director of the National Institute of Health? President of the American Red Cross? Professor of Medicine at John Hopkins University? Her article, "Fighting the Vaccine-Autism War" is something you should read. And it speaks about Hannah Polling, a little girl whose "autistic behavior" and brain damage were finally conceded by the Court of Federal Claims to have been caused by the five vaccinations she received in one day...something not at all uncommon if you look at the vaccine schedule.

This very sad chapter of WWII points out the amazing odds the Poles faced as well as their incredible bravery. At the start of the war, two super powers attacked them from west and east, smashing their country and killing countless people.

Again, the same super powers seemed to work together against the unfortunate Polish people. How awful!	0	not toxic

Although I'm not much of a militarist, I do agree with this training mission to Ukraine. I heard a comment this morning on the CBC's The Current that the Russian-supported forces in the east of Ukraine have seen their possession of tanks go from about a dozen two years ago to 700 today. This is a massive commitment on the part of Russia. The uprising of the eastern provinces is a bloody provocation to the central government in Kiev regardless of Ukrainian politics and cannot go unchallenged.	0	not toxic

Good point. White Supremacists, Nazis, and the White Nationalist and Supremacist branch of the Alt Right (not all of the Alt Right is racist) support Trump, but not every Trump supporter supports the racist views of these groups. A similar point applies to Black LIves Matter-- there may be members or supporters of that group who have racist views of whites, but not every supporter of Black Lives Matter is racist (for that matter, you see a lot of whites in the Black Lives Matter parade). Also, judging from the comments from politicians, not only liberals are opposed to racism-- conservatives are as well. The Nazi's, KKK, and numerous white supremacist groups at the parade-- including some who attend these parades just to beat up protestors (like the "White Fight Club") are groups that very few people in the country support but events like this get them a lot of media exposure.

I for one remember when climate change was called global warming, but the name had to be changed because there is no evidence that the earth is unnaturally warming. We know the earth goes through extreme climate changes, and frequently freezes and warms. The problem with "climate change" is that technically the climate is always changing, and people have always moved or resettled as a result. While there is no doubt carbon monoxide emissions like what is happening in India and China is extremely bad for the envirement, in that it makes the air toxic to breathe, to simply say all emissions are detrimental to earth is blatantly false. Look at what happens every time a volcano erupts. Decades worth of "man made" pollution happens in an instant. This is an undeniable fact. The earth is always changing and it's up to people to adapt and survive. Also, the science isn't as concrete as you think, since the original ocean temp readings were taken on a wood boat and the new ones on a diesel.

Your point? That what I saw was a drone? (This was many many years ago.) As I said, no doubt it was a man made object. However, my question was: what was it doing? What was it spraying? I would be concerned about an object that stopped above my residence, cloaked itself so it couldn't be seen, and then emitted a mist or spray of something onto the ground. All valid questions, not "kooks" running around screaming our reptilian overlords have arrived.

Thanks Helmsworth, but I think I will follow the advice of my pediatrician (instead of you) who believes the current vaccination schedule is way too packed with too many unnecessary vaccinations and that most certainly the mercury contained in the flu vaccine should not be given to children or pregnant women. Also, (instead of you) I think I'll listen to what Dr. Bernadine Patricia Healy said about vaccines and autism. Remember her? The first female director of the National Institute of Health? President of the American Red Cross? Professor of Medicine at John Hopkins University? Her article, "Fighting the Vaccine-Autism War" is something you should read. And it speaks about Hannah Polling, a little girl whose "autistic behavior" and brain damage were finally conceded by the Court of Federal Claims to have been caused by the five vaccinations she received in one day...something not at all uncommon if you look at the vaccine schedule. Try doing your research before advising parents.

This very sad chapter of WWII points out the amazing odds the Poles faced as well as their incredible bravery. At the start of the war, two super powers attacked them from west and east, smashing their country and killing countless people. At the time when the Warsaw uprising was surpressed, vastly superior Soviet forces were in the vicinity and waited to act until the uprising was extinguished. Again, the same super powers seemed to work together against the unfortunate Polish people. How awful!

Whining 'bout the officiating, that's something teams that lose, and their fans, run their mouths 'bout.

Although I'm not much of a militarist, I do agree with this training mission to Ukraine. I heard a comment this morning on the CBC's The Current that the Russian-supported forces in the east of Ukraine have seen their possession of tanks go from about a dozen two years ago to 700 today. This is a massive commitment on the part of Russia. The uprising of the eastern provinces is a bloody provocation to the central government in Kiev regardless of Ukrainian politics and cannot go unchallenged.
