My parents' generation used to call some college graduates "educated morons". I think they were onto something.
What do you think?

Go For It
Here is a discussion of the situation with Russian AA missile batteries in Syria:

If the Israelis are dumb enough, I hope they go for it. It's time we learn whether or not the F-35s are a total waste of money, and I would not be disappointed if in the process the Israelis were cut down a notch or two.

This Is NOT Free Speech
What do you think of this?

Urging people to commit mayhem and desecration is NOT free speech - it's incitement.
When did our universities turn into hate factories? And why are we tolerating this kind of evil crap?

World Dumping The Dollar ???
Global De-Dollarization Spells Jolts and Crises for US Economy
The Trump administration’s bellicosity has combined with the volatility of the global economy to sharply accelerate what has become an international movement: ditching the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Not good.
But this would have happened without Trump. This will be China's century, and the only thing we can do is go along for the ride.
Or not.

Shifting Political Power In US
According to this report, the Kavanaugh "affair" stems from a battle for political power:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/01/kavanaugh-affair-political-power-women
And according to this woman, the case against Kavanaugh is too weak to prosecute:

This tells me two things:
Q: What did I, a white boomer male, do wrong ... except attempt to act the way my parents, my community, and my government wanted me to?
A: I backed the losing side in a massive global revolution. So now I'm Public Enemy No. 1.
Q: How did THAT happen?
A: The Internet and social media.
Q: Who controls them?
A: Evil, greedy people who seek power, not justice.

This tells me two things:
- In addition to becoming second class citizens, men are being denied due process.
- Political power now reaches far beyond the voting booth, intruding into every aspect of our lives.

A New NAFTA ???
Apparently there will soon be an official "new" NAFTA:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-30/president-trump-s-nafta-deal-with-canada-is-said-to-be-imminent
Is it fair to say that Trump is keeping most of his campaign promises? Is it also fair to say that Obama ad-Dajjal did not?
I shudder to think what will happen when the Democrats finally seize power. Is it too late to move to Portugal?

More Than One Way To Skin A Yemeni
New data from the US Air Force shows that the refueling operation for the Saudi-led war in Yemen is continuing apace with no sign of slowing. The US has refueled Saudi warplanes attacking Yemen since April of 2015.
Central Command revealed that the US has conducted 2,919 sorties, offloading 92.3 million pounds of fuel since the war began. The statement confirmed this was “in support of US missions and Saudi and Emirate operations against threats throughout the horn of Africa.”
US involvement in the Yemen War has been extremely controversial, with Congress once again working on a bill aiming to compel the administration to stop participating. The war was never authorized by the US Congress.

The more I think about it, we should not let Congress off the hook. Saying "the war was never authorized" by them is a red herring. They authorize all legal expenditures, and they can vote to cut funding anytime they choose.
But they don't, so in effect it IS their war. The blood IS on their hands.
