…are prescription glasses because ‘climate change’ is damaging eye health*, you might just be a Warmist
The blog of the day is Brass Pills, with a post on a judge ruling that women must vote for the draft.
*I gave a link to that because I hadn’t seen this bit of scaremongering before.

from the WSJ:
Mr. Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen. Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the Senate, associates said.
So Iran war backers in the Senate held his impeachment over his head. Makes sense.
Listen, everyone knows the assassination was not about US safety, but was about Nov 2020.
Wouldn’t lean too hard on that without proof.
The Journal editorial page is as Lefty as any other major paper.
Far as I know, Trump played his cards close to the vest.
How many evangelical Christians here entertain the notion that Donald J. Trump is the Messiah, here to protect a Christian nation?
How many hardcore Communists here entertained the notion that Barack Hussein Obama was the Messiah, here to finally overthrow a free Christian nation?
FIFY
Don Juan Trump gets more bad news…
*A New York judge has rebuffed President Trump’s bid to throw out a lawsuit filed against him by the writer E. Jean Carroll, who accuses him of hurting her career and reputation in denying her claim that he raped her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.
Justice Ling-Cohan noted that Mr. Trump had failed to provide anything — “not even a tweet, much less an affidavit†— to support his position beyond his lawyer’s statement that “the President of the United States has resided in the White House for the past three years.â€
The judge also denied Mr. Trump’s accompanying request that discovery in the case be stayed.*
The suit against trump from another sexual assault victim, Summer Zervos, is also moving forward.
See you and raise you.
Donald Trump gets great news.
Appellate court clears 4 billion to build the wall.
Gotham politician. Watch it get tossed on appeal.
And the hits just keep on comin’
Abdul Reza Shahlai, Quds’ man in Yemen, was also hit on New Year’s Day. Supposedly, he still has most of his parts, but Trump is clearly targeting the Quds infrastructure.
In the immortal words of Douglas MacArthur, “That’s the best thing to do with them”.
And, as Matthew J Quigley sagely noted, “you can run, but you’ll only die tired”.
The assassination attempt in Yemen failed. Was that attempt also related to the “immiment threat”?
Once again you keep using the stooopid term “imminent threat”. An adversary does not need to be an imminent threat only a probable threat, a potential threat, a proven threat, a historical threat or a probable threat. If you’re stooopid enough to wait for a threat to become “imminent” you deserve to be shot for dereliction of duty.
You and your radical leftist comrades have a very cavalier attitude toward the lives of American service personnel. I’ve seen where you got the ridiculous idea of “imminent threat”, CNNMSNBC, etal. That seems to be their anti-Trump and anti american talking point du jour. Oddly they never made that point about Osama Bin Laden, Baghdadi or when Obama killed over 800 civilians in Obamas notorious and bloody “drone programme”. No,no, no- “imminent threat” notwithstanding nor was it required or even considered. Obama was a Great War Leader as the blood dripped from his dainty fingers. As the second black and first gay president he was beyond criticism.
Barking the talking points of the media and America haters seems to be all you do here lately. How about an original thought or opinion for a change? How about answering who you support for president. That would be interesting.
Trump 2020 Stop the commie juggernaut.
Kye,
It was the Trump regime that said Suleimani posed an “imminent threat”. Your beef is with them. Pompeo said there was evidence of several imminent attacks. Trump later said the imminent threats involved 4 embassies. We understand your position that extrajudicial killings of foreigners who hate America are defensible. Mr. Putin agrees with you and Trump. We just disagree with your position.
We will ask you again: Who decides who is or isn’t a threat? And when. Kim is a threat. Assad is a threat. Putin is a threat. The US could nuke Pyongyang, Damascus and Moscow. Trump is a threat, but is favored by the likes of Putin, Kim and Xi, so only the civilized world want to see him gone. A crazy American on the internet making violent threats against other could be seen as a threat, but you think he has a right to military hardware!
We’re not arguing that Suleimani wasn’t an anti-American “bad hombre”, just that a President shouldn’t have the power to order assassinations.
President Obama had at least two American citizens assassinated overseas, al Qaeda member, Anwar al-awlaki and his 16 year old son. Clearly al-Awlaki was a “bad hombre” who coached, advised, directed the Fort Hood terrorist/murderer and some of the 9/11 hijackers. There was little international criticism of the killings and strategically the killings had little blowback potential (unlike with Iran). But it was still wrong, and made much, much worse by them being US citizens. In 2017, Trump ordered a commando raid that resulted in al-Awlaki’s 8 year old daughter, Nawar, being killed.
Do you think it is OK for trump to order these killings but was wrong for Obama? We think they are both wrong and should be stopped. And you can Google Obama drone program to find ample criticism of Obama’s program by media and civil rights groups. Obama’s drone wars killed hundreds if not thousands of innocents (although most uber-Cons believe that the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim). Note that Obama’s killing program was ostensibly aimed at al Qaeda.
We support the eventual Democratic candidate for President, and will vote for anyone against trump. Neither Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, Steyer, Bloomberg, Sanders, Klobuchar et al are Communists, but all would be better Presidents than the unfit Trump.
Obama is not gay but there is evidence that a previous president, James Buchanan, was. Also, and this may be shocking, President Obama was born in the US, not Kenya!
Democrat 2020: Anyone is better than imminent threat trump!
Satire? Maybe. https://i1.wp.com/www.powerlineblog.com/ed-assets/2020/01/IMG_2468.jpeg?w=262&ssl=1
