'Unsure..' The Bolton reference, it is very funny, why? For more than one reason.
This Bolton, when his name became big he was on the Trump team. Then he has some off-days, or months, and becomes a neo-con, a war hawk- all wars are good and if there are not many going on let us start some more, good for the economy- so they say.
Bombs are now dropping on Iran, Bolton is ecstatic, he just likes bombing. My reasons for agreeing- Hamas Hezbollah Houthi proxies, slaughter of protesters (30,000+), the frantic enrichment of uranium to weapons grade, and more, and, killing of 1,035 (my count) US government and military. Bolton, has different thinking.

'Unsure'- what makes that meme funny to you?
Same satisfaction that I get? Or making more fun of Bolton who deserves it? Or..?

While I am letting off steam, Obama tried bribery, Carter somehow ended with nuclear armed North Korea. Now, (for how long has it been?), the United States of America has leadership.

I think a lot of the Euro leaders, police, local politicians, etc...are under the thumb of radical Islam. Pretty clear to me, if you just look at England's recent history. Look at what's happened in Germany, France... I'm more in favor of us being isolationist, vs policing the world. We're broke. We've got some real domestic challenges that we're not properly addressing. I'm not surprised by any of these developments, really.

Ok I need to add the videos are by Laura Ronson and the bank leaving NYC is JP Morgan.

In the question of: Stupid or Complicit, one would always be wise by stating: BOTH!
They invented our foes so that they could continue to rule over us.
Now, we vanquish those invented foes therefore, their rule be vanquished as well.

I stand with Victor Hanson/Trump/the folks at Promethean and the downfall of the British System, therefore an America no longer it's Military slave.

Sunday paper memes were posted last night and IN THE MEME TYME MAGAzean is being published now.

Glad you enjoyed the W rated ones, I held them for quite a while, finally Xed the really gross X rated ones and answered the call to post the balance.

You are absolutely right.
This morning I read an article either in Fox Breaking News or in my email (my memory has been showing signs of old age) that Trump has designated our (after Iran) next most dangerous enemy as the Democrat Party.
Me dino agrees 100%!
Think suicidal Muslims are crazy? At least they don't with a straight face strut around saying men can get pregnant or would let their daughters share locker rooms with wannabe women with male genitals. Come to think of it, they would kill such limp-wristed mental malfunctions in a heartbeat. .

Last night I watched three videos produced by a very intelligent young lady, who I believe is a financial journalist. Sorry, as I write this I can't recall her name. When I get it I'll post it.

The first video was reporting on the causes (culminating with Mamdani) of the flight of Citibank et al from NYC and the effect on the regions economics. Thousands of jobs have left and thousands more are being planned to leave. The 14,000 jobs of Citi translates to over 20,000 jobs in the area as small businesses that served the Citi employees are going away. I agree with her opinion NYC has entered an economic death spiral as a direct result of (D) socialist/communist principles. NYS is entering the same phase under (D) leadership.

The second video covered Boston and the flight of GE leaving the same type of economic hole observed in NYC. Boston's Mayor Wu is a commie making sure the economic catastrophe continues by doubling down on increased taxation and fees levied on whoever remains. The death spiral accelerates.

The third video covers Baltimore, which is becoming a wasteland of crime and economic depression as more and more productive enterprises take the exit ramp to better areas. One financial company, now leaving, has to budget at least $45,000 a month to hire armed security so the employees can get to their cars without being mugged or worse.

The way I see it the common denominator of all these is an ideology that increasingly takes a strap to backs of the productive all the while cursing them for being "greedy" or "oppressive". In all these places the majority voted for the slave drivers and put the strap in their hands. No wonder the productive are leaving or dying. Those voters are now getting what they actually voted for.

We are now watching the same rot tumbling US cities in real time.

RiP Chuck Norris he was a modern day Jack Lalanne.
ThanQ OUC

Thanks for remembering two entertainment 'heroes'.
👍

Please elaborate how you are unsure.

Agreed and to add to your thoughts ...
The way to abolish slavery was already in place. It was not to be spread beyond the states where it already existed.
The slave owners, if left alone, were, in effect, given a competitive advantage in their industry of growing cotton and
no new state would be able to compete until it made economic sense. The problem (for the slave owners) was that
abolitionists, a small minority, would not leave slave owners alone long enough for technology to make slave owning
a losing business. Simultaneously the uncompetitive northern 'industrialists' needed corrupt government force to
enrich themselves by stealing from southern farmers.
(This has been repeated many times since by the banking cartel, Wall Street, the Military Industrial Complex and others.)
If the goal of Lincoln had been to end slavery it would have been much easier, simpler, and cheaper to buy them all
and deport them. At the time there were many frontiers where they could have been relocated as pioneers.
Instead Lincoln chose to fight a war to enslave everyone in America to the federal state and his generals Sherman and
Grant introduced total war against civilians for the first time to guarantee that slavery.

Tough love indeed.
It's socialism on the grandest scale, and it ends in what socialism/communism always does: financial disaster, millions of deaths, and the end of civilization.

I'll vote for allosaur's explanation.

Seems to me that the leadership
(not a good term for those we refer to)
are dead scared to take a position on anything.

Exception, the urgent need for war on Russia - provided that
they do not pay, economies nosediving with climate crap and migrant welfare,
they provide no guns or materiel, what little they had squandered on Ukraine,
they send no men, their own disillusioned, -- migrants busy attacking women.

Will there be a change now that Iran has a 4,000km range missile?
Most euro capitals are now in range.

I'm sometimes unsure about DoB-
Maybe not the intention, but the one about Bolton happened to me, (I wish).

Yeah, after 47 years,
enough already.

"So, what’s going on? What explains this European schizophrenia? That they want to be an ally, but they don’t want to be an ally." Simple, they are Uncle Sam's friend as long as Uncle Sam picks up the tab for their own foolish decisions. Maybe Uncle Sam should stop being a patsy and cut 'em loose - kinda like tough love (or tough sh-t).

This is a good article.
I think Casey is often wrong, but in this case, spot on. It is not an argument I have seen expressed in those words but it ties in with all other sources I've seen.
Not the first time an action, a war, for narrow interests has been justified on contrived moral grounds, Lincoln saw the chance and jumped in.

How he got the chance, as I see it-
The big economy at the time was England. Free trade was in fashion, in theory and it worked. Tie-in with The South was logical as their well-priced commodities suited English manufacturing industries. But the political pressure against support for The South were too strong. In England, there was strong anti-slavery sentiment. It cut across the economy and cost the government a big sum - slave owners in English territory, the West Indies for example, lost their slaves but were compensated, it was big money at that time. There were naval clashes with US ships carrying slaves.
So far, the English stance was all justifiable, but, one idea was not considered, no one wanted to eliminate slavery and maintain free trade concurrently.
The North was one-eyed about both, i. absolute no to slavery, ii. absolute no to free trade.
But ii. came before i.
The English banking and mercantile class lost out to the ideologues (again).

When the horrendous war ended, were the slaves free?
Free in law, yes, but in economic reality, nothing had changed. Well the economy was badly down.

The North, Lincoln, wanted to protect the northern manufacturers, destroying secession was the method.
Lincoln did not care about slavery, many quotes to that effect.
If there was a way to abolish slavery and negotiate on trade and protection, no one spoke.

It would seem at this moment even when Trump is losing (rising oil prices) he still wins (oil prices lower than Biden). Glad the Indian investors have the patience to put up with US red tape to build a new refinery in Texas - not an easy task to build such a facility. [If I were younger and still contracting it would offer just the right job opportunity to get me to move to Texas]

RIP Neil and Chuck! Thanks, OUC, for the commemorative Sunday edition for them.

Oh my! What a crazy way to start a day! Still laughing and definitely sharing the Falls, The flag, Grammer, oh heck, all of them!

Go for it. Keep 'em coming.

Ya got me with BOLTON !, Brother . . .

PS. ITMTyme Sunday Paper Edition just posted

The "fickle Europeans?" My dino dictionary defines them as wimped out cowards who opened their gates to Muslim hordes who want them to convert or cut their own throats~~which they've already done to themselves anyway.
Yesterday I read that Muslims won't even allow Brits to have dogs anymore.
What won't be allowed next in the once Great Britain's own country? Keeping their heads? Invite in evil and it will take over every time.

No matter how much money Trump saves for the American public, no matter what wonderful right and good things he does,
the you can't fix stupid Jackass Demo-coocoo-craps will always all go WAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

May make another if I get the chance

They the Urinepeon leaders mentioned are all controlled by the Deep State. Iran was a deep state proxie. Ment to keep forever wars on going. It will be a grand day when they are deplaned.
