Quote(s) Of The Day

Germany edition:

  • “This historic responsibility of Germany is part of my country’s Staatsräson. That means, for me as German Chancellor, the security of Israel is never negotiable. And if that is the case, then these must not remain empty words in the hour of truth.” —  Germany’s then-Chancellor Angela Merkel, March 18, 2008.
  • “What the Israeli army is doing in the Gaza Strip, I no longer understand the goal…” — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, May 2025.
  • “Perhaps if German children had been beheaded or burned alive in their beds on October 7, 2023, he would have a clearer understanding of Israel’s ‘goal’ in the Gaza Strip.” — Unknown

Quote Of The Day

“For too long, corporate strategies were warped by the delusions of green ideologues who neither understand basic economics nor the fundamental science behind energy production. Once the mandates and incentives were stripped away, demand recalibrated to match affordability, reliability, and everyday practicality, which are values far more enduring than climate cult slogans.” — Leslie Eastman

 

Quote Of The Day

From this guy, talking about the Iranian Ass-Kicking Exercise and BritPM Starmer’s reaction thereto:

“Progressive realism has met reality: when the chips are down, nobody cares about international law; nobody cares about tolerance and diversity; nobody cares about human rights; nobody cares about doing the right thing. They care about winning.”

Yup.  It works at both the macro- and micro levels, btw.  (see:  Righteous Shootings)
