My choice would be King Abdullah II of Jordan. I really like the way he thinks and if he is anything in real life like he is in interviews, I believe he is just a really fascinating person.
If Netanyahu were still in office it would be a really hard choice for me.
The United States has a long history of dealing with Islamic terrorism extending back to the time of the Barbary Pirates. In that case, a favorite ending for the crews of captured ships was to run them through with hooks and hang them over the city walls.
In more recent memory, we have had...
My observation is that members of specialized law enforcement organizations are a far greater threat to our rights and freedom than local departments. I would probably die of shock if Denny or Frank appeared at my door or anyonecelse's trick-or-treating for guns. By contrast, I could see the...
The thread @Bigtanker posted the other day where he assisted "littletanker" in destroying vegetables has been weighing on me pretty heavily. The issue I find bothersome is that this outstanding example of parenthood is in my observation a rarity rather than the prevalent standard it should be...
It seems the perennial pissers and moaners are at it again.

I deliberately selected the name of the old Soviet official newspaper since the name literally means "truth" while the only truthful content was usually the date.
I would like to explore a number of issues.
1. WTF is a conspiracy theory? So far as I can tell it is nothing but weasel words...
I did this earlier today and extracting the wood chips from the cable port was an exercise in exasperation that had potential to make the likes of Billy Graham cuss.
Don't those people have hin laws and also people laws not too far behind California and NY?

While I do not often agree with Elizabeth Warren, she deserves credit for taking a fair and reasonable stance on the treatment of 1/6 detainees.
As lifted from the Epoch Times:
It appears that an organization representing 1500 observant Orthodox rabbis has communicated to the ADL that they are displeased that the organization has wrongly attacked Carlson, neglected its purpose, and taken a hard left political turn under its current leadership...
Between being motivated to look up examples of the Mercedes G4 by the thread on the new 6x6 Bronco and the supposed sighting of the INGO yacht, I ended up researching more information on the Grille. It was fitted with a unique globe-shaped bar which was salvaged when the ship was broken up in...
Given the flagrant partisan activism of the courts including and especially the post-FDR Supreme Court, it seems to me that there are multiple standards of "constitutional".
First, we have things that are what I will call "functionally constitutional", in other words, what the court has ruled...
It appears that some of the GOP swamp creatures who have a problem with being expected to be real conservatives also have s problem with Trump giving deserved pushback.
Case in point, McConnell said Trump should face criminal charges for actions in which he was not involved. Now, Trump gets...
The large-scale reasons, ideologue "activist" judges and bribes don't need much attention beyond the obvious. My thoughts are focused at ghd moment on details.
A few examples:
1. The Indiana Constitution specifically authorizes jurors to judge both the facts and the law yet juries are...
Today we have challenges in front of us unlike any we have seen in the past. I consider it critically important to build and establish trust. It is every bit as important as understanding who cannot be trusted.
I am gojng to start with a copy of an excellent post made earlier today which I...
Let me refresh everyone's memory. This rat bastard was Obama's Secretary of Transportation. In this capacity he essentially declared war on the trucking industry in such a way that if I could pick one and only one member of the Obama administration to spend locked in a room with, he would be...
