While I agree with you in most things, with all due respect I am troubled. I understand the subjective nature of "good and bad", "right and wrong" "evil and good" etc. I understand the horror, destruction, and inefficiency of war. But at some point, must not mankind put a stake in the ground? If someone attacks my wife, should I not defend her? If someone cuts heads off babies, should I not morally do something to stop that behavior? Is there no line at which retaliatory violence is not called for? I know this is a rhetorical question. It is easy to criticize all war. It is easy to question any act of violence for whatever reason it is perpetrated. Was "turning the other cheek" meant as an absolute under any circumstances? Again, rhetorical question. But if you answer "yes", you are a better Buddhist/Christian/Saint than I Gunga Din.

Hey Herb. Does it seem a little strange to you that Hamas does this under the ultra secure state of Israel? How did they get all those weapons past is Israelite security? Israel says they have photos of the baby beheadings, but they are not going to publish them. Other than what drivel we hear in the media does anyone know what’s going on who is not there? Does this seem convenient as the public has now lost all interest in Ukraine? At the same time Netanyahu is having corruption problems his own. All the while Biden is about to have his dirty, laundry, exposed via Jim Jordan. As we all know, war is the health of the state. Having shared the above, my heart goes out to all the people who are being slaughtered. There are two sides to every story. Just one old man’s opinion.

Hey Starman, you are right, I just broke the code, check this out dude:

PVG (Paul Valor Garrison)

DJW (David James Wessel)

D to P in the alphabet = 12

J to V = 12

W to G = 16

(Sum of P + V + G + D + J + W = 6 in 16)

(PVG + DJW = 2 in 12)

The two 1’s cancel each other out!

Holy Mackerel! Sweet Meat Pies!

Hi Dot -

If you can give me a VERIFIABLE ANSWER to any ONE of these, we'll talk:

1. "Checked and Rechecked" by whom and How?

2. When?

3. Where?

4. So the results of the "Checks and Rechecks" showed ZERO EVIDENCE of fraud and/or illegal counting of illegal votes?

5. How do you account for the statistically IMPOSSIBLE, middle-of-the-night vote swings to TraitorJoe when there were no observers on-hand and everyone had been told the vote counting was finished for that day?

6. Can you explain the vote count being stopped in Fulton County, GA due to a "water leak" that has never been verified to have existed? Y'know, no work requests to the County Facility Maintenance Division, No Work ticket issued or Work Completed filed by the same organization, no record of material requisitioned to fix the "leak" nor Labor Hours coded to that "project", etc., etc.? Or the videos of dimocrat poll works subsequently removing SUITCASES of unsecured mystery ballots from UNDER the tables and running each ballot through a counting machine? Or is the video wrong?

7. Can you explain the hundreds of videos that show both illegal Ballot Harvesting as well as illegal deposits at unmanned Drop Boxes?

8. Can you explain the THOUSANDS of sworn affidavits filed by everyday, run-of-the-mill poll workers from both sides that were filed UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY that all describe eyewitness accounts of voter fraud, vote stealing and illegal vote tallying activities in the days and weeks immediately after November 2020? Or all they ALL liars? Even the dimocrats who gave sworn statements??

I could go on all day. Take off the blue jersey for a minute and get your head out of your a**, Dottie...

PS - This is an "old" article, October 2022. Since publishing, there has been a LOT of additional evidence uncovered that points DIRECTLY to fraud by the dimocrats in the '20 "elections." Better to just ignore this reality like all the progtardes do, right Dorothy?

This is so very tiresome. You refuse to acknowledge Reality and/or are afraid to admit that you support a "party" of corrupt, degenerate enemies to our Republic and under NO circumstances can you ever be WRONG.

Bill is against war. Bill is against war profiteering. These are noble sentiments, sincerely held. I share these sentiments, 100%.

Bill also against Israel taking revenge. I suspect Bill is not keen on Israel in general. But would I would say is: Whoops, reality just banged into virtue signaling.

What say we abandon the theoretical abstraction. The worst nightmare has just happened. Your baby has been decapitated, your wife raped and set on fire. Do you want a rifle or a lecture about profiteering? Shall we look down our noses at the arms dealers and their shills in politics? Or shall we vanquish the barbarians who decapitate babies and worry about that other stuff later? Everybody needs to decide for themselves.

Your rant is why we are a democratic Republic. The Founders set it up so Congress has to declare war, and their idea was so they could convene and thoughtfully and logically think things through, and not make a spur of the moment emotional decision. Sadly, their idea has been abandoned.

Seriously, buttercup? Snowflake Gobbledygook.

The reason the United States is a Democratic Republic has nothing to do with condoning terrorism. It was to establish a balance of powers after getting out from under the thumb of tyranny. It has nothing to do with people being rightfully angry at totalitarian barbarism. This war is in Israel, not in the United States. So your cri de coeur is totally irrelevant. Try again.

If somebody attacks and kills your family, you're going to fight back. If it's your own government, you'll fight against them. There's no proof that the Israeli government knew this attack was coming. The story that the Egyptians had warned them has been debunked. The military intelligence agency responsible for Gaza didn't know. The Israeli intelligence apparatus has made mistakes before which are well documented. Every agency makes mistakes or misses things. Corruption is always a possibility where politicians are concerned, but at this point I haven't seen anything that suggests that the government knew about this and kept it under wraps for ulterior motives.

Some university think tanks laid out the fallout of nuclear war. The entire northern hemisphere would be uninhabitable within hours. That leaves South American and southern pacific countries as potential candidates. Thus far, if you have USD, Uruguay, Argentina, maybe Panama. Maybe New Zealand or Australia but they are under WEF control. Difficult choices as any western country is either in the fallout zone or under WEF dominion and under the coming threats, they will go full throttle thought control and currency lockdowns.

Well, Bill was able to put one foot in reality today, which is a definite improvement. Despite the valid arguments Bill makes today, there is one sentence in today's column that reveals a method that Bill uses frequently; and that is, mixing valid concepts with the invalid. Here's the sentence:

"There are no “good people” among antisemites, vaccine deniers, Russians, conservatives and the white male patriarchy; so says the mainstream press."

Of course, Bill always attributes these ideas to someone else, not himself. In this case, it's the mainstream press. His first piece of subterfuge is to frame the comment in terms of "no good people" instead of bad or evil ideas. Secondly, he mixes relatively innocuous ideas that few reasonable, rational, people would condone, with racism that a significant number of people do hold. Thus, he trivializes the idea of antisemitism (racism) by putting it on par with vaccine deniers and conservatives. His use of "no good people" is also a ruse. He uses it as a substitute for good vs. evil ideas because, of course, you can't necessarily judge a person based on one idea, but you certainly can judge the validity of the idea itself. Thus, he tries to make you hesitate - that is, not to judge - and hides racism among the innocuous (or the not inoculated!).

You are correct that these vermin need to be eradicated now, but we humans have been fighting for "eternity". We never seem to eradicate the sub-humans completely and sometimes they even get the upper hand. So, the why is important. The Enlightenment and the Age of Reason made some important strides in the direction of rationality, leading to the creation of the USA, a country based on individual rights, even if somewhat imperfectly so. But the Age of Reason was under assault from the very beginning leading to the evil of collectivism which was born shortly thereafter through Marx and Engels and the philosophers that they got their ideas from. So, yes, eradicate the thugs now, but improve the education of humans in order to teach them to think rationally and independently on their own, and teach them why the only political principle that can stop the carnage and bring peace and prosperity is individual rights. This will be a long-term effort, but it needs to be done.

Yes my brother, but it's far worse than that. When we see thousands protesting in our cities for the Palestinians/Hammas/Liberals, it's way past the debate time, and time to start waking the sleeping giant in America!
