“If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I’ve got a suggestion for them: Carve out a piece of the French Riviera, and create a Palestinian state. They’re welcome to do that… but they’re not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation.” — US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee
Huckabee was an inspired choice for ambassador.
From Insty:
“We have an awful lot of illegal aliens in the country, plenty of whom could be Iranian sleeper agents and some of whom certainly are. Are there enough to do anything significant? Who knows? Is there anyone left in the Iranian leadership capable of ordering something like that? Possibly not.
“But if you sometimes carry a gun, the next couple of weeks should be among those times.”
What he said. I can only add: “…with a couple of extra mags.”
And carry it all the time, not just sometimes.
From the Greatest Living Englishman:
The Clarkson’s Farm star admitted that he couldn’t understand how machines can ‘spot what’s happening in every part of your body, apart from your bottom’.
‘They can photograph your ventricles and every bit of your brain, but if they want to know what’s going on with your prostate, which lives in the anus, for some reason, the doctor has to put his finger in there. I can only assume it’s because he likes it.’
As funny as it is, he makes a really good point. Why can’t scans detect bowel/colon/prostate problems?
I await comments from the Leech-People among my Readers.
From that Muzzie asshole:
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday his country “will never surrender” as President Trump urged him to end reciprocal air strikes with Israel.
“It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender,” Khamenei posted on X. “What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.”
Two words (I think): Germany 1945.
Challenge accepted.
Talking about this burning issue:
“If lithium-ion batteries weren’t powering vehicles that are supposed to save the planet from climate change, they would not be in such widespread use. Perhaps we can find another power source to save the planet that isn’t so hard to put out if it burns, doesn’t let off toxic gases when it’s on fire, and can be manufactured in the United States.”
I think he’s talking about the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine… and not something powered by faerie-dust and unicorn flatulence.
In response to this lament:
“These kids never learned the proper way to be a barfly,” said an L.A. bartender, quoted in “Gen Z Doesn’t Want to Start a Bar Tab/To the chagrin of bartenders, many 20-something bargoers prefer to close out and pay after every single drink.”
That’s not the quote. This is:
As with everything else in the New York Times though, I am going to default to “none of these discussions actually happened” and the “author” just made everything up.
The man’s almost as cynical as I am.
Sic transit mendax.
