You have never met me. I have never fed off of someone else's body. My mother did not breast feed.

Does this mean I should find another forum on which to post?

What does this have to do with Ireland? Is this an Irish forum? I'll ignore some of the other venomous posts.

I just finished reading Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurrican in History by Erik Larson. This follows close on the heels of A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America's Hurricanes by Eric Jay Dolin. This is the story of the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the...

I am Jewish. Throughout history the rest of the world has enjoyed a love-hate relationship with the Jews. They like our focus on family, education and accomplishment. They dislike our legalism, which undergirds the parts that they do like. For that reason the Jews quickly went from leadership...

No wonder this forum isn't more active. There is no support for any positions.

Hamas, unprovoked and without warning, attacked Israel on Saturday, October 7. The Israelis, as was inevitable, fought back, hopefully hard. The New York Times' print edition contained an article "Gazans With Nowhere to Hide Issue a Plea: At Least Warn Us." The Times' electronic edition (link...

Right now, everyone allied with Israel is crying about "failure of intelligence." Yet, just about every major attack that wasn't preempted (the way the Israelis did so brilliantly in 1967) was preceded by alleged "lack of intelligence." Examples, in reverse order are: Hamas attack, 2023...

All of us, as schoolchildren, learned about Benedict Arnold. We learned that he was a traitor. See recent article,A Traitor, Burned in Effigy, Again and Again What we were not taught was his pre-treason, heroic aspect. One thing to remember was that the U.S. was not a country, but an idea, or...

Do we have so little faith in ourselves that we value the life of illegal alien killer Danielo Cavacante over our own safety of even the public fiscal well-being? Illegal Alien Killer Danelo Cavalcante is a Hero Back in Latin America Pennsylvania Fugitive Quickly Became a ‘Cult Hero’ in Latin...

I'll start out with two quotes from The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives' War on Fun by Noah Rothman: 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑝𝑎𝑔𝑒 35: 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒'𝑠 𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑎 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑛𝑗𝑜𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓...

I just finished reading Lincoln's Last Trial: The Murder Case That Propelled Him to the Presidency by Dan Abrams, David Fisher. I rated it "4", rounded up from 3.75. I gave the other book I've recently read by Dan Abrams a "3", so I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt. As...

I support fossil fuels. There has never been greater prosperity and I believe abandoning them means abandoning prosperity for all but the very rich.

I haven't been on here that long. No question that the vaccine was oversold. No question that it reduced the severity of both infection and spread.

I was hoping for a generalized reading thread, not a JBG blog.

The climate change movement has reduced science to a religion. The concept of man-made climate change should and must be open to discussion, as must be the remedies. The "climate scientists" are clearly trying to guilt us out of the affluence that society has built over the years. Any solution...

No other readers here??? I just finished reading A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America's Hurricanes by Eric Jay Dolin. I will give this book 3.5 stars. A Furious Sky is a thrilling page-turner, and made me look forward to coming home from work early to read. I am quite the...

Robbie Robertson, leader of The Band, died today at 80 (link). Over the years he became a favorite of mine. His music, including The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and The Weight, movie soundtrack Easy Rider, provided many good times and moments of listening pleasure. Once We Were Brothers, a...
