Didn’t Khameni just tell Trump something like “You can’t do anything”? If I were him, I’d be looking for a different place to sleep tonite.
I gather al-Muhandi was Sulimani’s #2?
Vols just won 23-22
They were down 22-9 with just 5 minutes to go
Scored a td, recovered an onside kick, scored again to take the lead and held off Indiana for the last two minutes to win the game. Wow
Hope that you’re New Year is going just fine. From smoke choked Melbourne Oz. ☺️
The Victorian bush fires are not as dangerous as those of NSW it theyare still pretty bad. Walked up to the shops and felt that I had smoked 6 cigarettes,
ugh,

It is all political theatre. Do NOT believe every thing you read in the MSM. The NSW Premier rejected further help from thr Morrison Federal Government. The Navy just evacuated a LOT of tourists trapped on the SE coast to a helicopter carrier.
Morrison keeps offering help but it is a State responsibility to ask first. The Feds just. Can not waltz in.
The SM is using this as a club to eat the PM about the head forpoliticalpurposes
SM =PM
Oops . That should read the MSM is using this asa
A club to beat Morrison about the head foe political effect
These are bad fires but the REAL culprits are the Greens who have prevented the management of the fuel load for the past 10 years. Local councils are infested by Greens…… and now we are reaping the results of that error in local body politics . Like your County politics
County= Country
@ Aussie Infidel:
It’s kind of the same thing here. The Feds can’t come in w/o the OK of the governor.
The Daily Mail has been running tragic/horror photos for days. I can’t even look anymore.
It’s my bedtime. See yinz tomorrow

Good morning. Early reaction from personalities at CNN and MSNBC regarding the assassination of Suielemani is negative. Trump is “reckless” and “Does not have a plan” and he “threw a stick of dynamite into a tinder box”
Biden piled on, the guy who was VP during Benghazi. These people are insipid cretins.

Anything Trump does, the democrats will oppose. There is a meme with a picture of Trump as magician, captioned: “Now, for my next trick, I will get the democrats to defend Iran”.
Remember when just criticizing the President, not even opposing him, was considered racist?

In other news, spent the day with a friend whose work has put her in touch with some people who have worked in some places.
It is – I think – common knowledge that Obama’s Oval Office hours were rather lackadaisical. Most of the time he never made it in until 10 am or so. Why do you think that is? Could it possibly be because he was hungover? Why yes it could! When I mentioned the teleprompter, I got, “well yeah, most of the time he could actually see it”
The everyday food at the WH wasn’t from Michelle’s garden. Fries & cheeseburgers all around. No fair pointing it out, you’d get shunned.
And yeah, he was born in Kenya.
I’m still having a problem with that one, but the source is good.

BREAKING: Local #Iraqi media are reporting that the leader of the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq militia, Qais al-Khazali, and his brother, Laith al-Khazali, were killed in the U.S. air-strike on the two cars just North of Baghdad.

reports coming in that Israeli air force has crossed the Lebanon border into Syria.
There’s no confirmation for this – has anyone heard about troops being deployed to Kuwait, besides what we may already have there – say about 3500? Also, tanks headed to Iraq.
@ eaglesoars:
@ eaglesoars:
I haven’t heard about any tanks, but it wouldn’t be difficult. We keep hundreds of them stockpiled in Kuwait, along with Bradleys, howitzers, and other heavy equipment. Camp Arifjan looks like a used tank lot.

I forget where I read it (today) – Hillary is being named chancellor of a university in Northern Ireland
no clue what that’s all about.
ok, bedtime, nite.
@ eaglesoars:
Brilliant writing. Very powerful stuff at times.
The Democratic Party has become completely unhinged.
I don’t remember anybody on the right complaining after Osama bin Laden was killed during the Obama administration. I don’t remember any conservatives worrying about an increase in terror attacks.
Yet numerous Democrats are throwing fits over the death of Soleimani. Trump actually has the liberals defending a terrorist.
Not only that, the left is upset that a shooter at church was taken out by armed guards, and that other people in the church were armed as well.
I would hope and pray that the American people aren’t naïve enough to listen to the idiotic rhetoric coming from the left.
morning y’all
you have got to read this thread, too funny

This is hell, not heaven.

The bad news: He thinks I’m hot
3) 1) It’s very hot
2) All the beer is warm
3) All the virgins are men
4) This Adolf guy won’t shut up
5) Lot of pissed off suicide bombers saying this wasn’t what they signed up for
Does it smell like smoke in here or is that just me?
bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@ right_wing2:
It was a very interesting story line. Especially if you look at the fighting tyrants aspect. Where B5 was an outpost AGAINST the Terran world government. I believe there were a couple story lines about how the media spun things as well, usually against B5. A very conservative program and story if you look at it carefully.

i’m not a apple guy.
and time is money so i dont have time to learn linux.
i have 10 on my laptop and once you get it customized, it’s actually quite good.
windows 7 pro good? wellllllll……7 was extraordinary. i once went 300 days without a reboot. a power outage fixed that for me.
10 is cool by me.

It was. The conservative aspect was very unusual during that period. It was amazing how the portrayed the media twisting everything showing the “heroic” Earth Gov and B5 as evil traitors. Of course Psi Corp had their hands in everything too.
Oh Lordy… Trump has the liberal Marxist traitors shitting all over themselves today…

Not yet he aint, right now he’s just poking them in the eye. Trump is seeing if he can get them to do something stupid enough for him to be able to justify waging a full scale war over. Trump wants revenge for the 1979 Embassy attack.

Looks like Salvation from Sundown, the up-and-coming Texas blues band fronted by high school students Reece Malone and Kelsi Kee are getting some big time recognition. I missed it at the time, but they got to play at this year’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. Not on the main stage, but still…
@ lobo91:
they look like they’re 12 but they sure don’t sound like it
Reece and Kelsi are both 15, I think.
They’re proteges of Texas blues guitarist Lance Lopez, who also helped Ally Venable get her start.
@ lobo91:
well, that’s frightening. It’s a good thing I was born with zero talent for anything, I don’t have the character to deal with the spotlight that these kids are about to face.
bedtime, see ya!
I just discovered that Ally Venable and Samantha Fish are playing shows on consecutive nights in Denver next month.
Road trip!
I’m looking forward to seeing both of them in headlining sets, and not in the blazing sun (or a downpour, the first time I saw Ally).
I’m really looking forward to seeing Samantha’s current show. She only played two songs off the new album when I saw her in Flagstaff back in June.
