Now we need to catch and convict all those AGs violating HIPAA.

Speaking of AGs making noise

Keith should go the the Supreme Court as one of four or five Justices appointed by President Biden.

Had a laugh at Ted "Outlaw Sex Toys" Cruz's use of the phrase "radical orthodoxy."

The vast hollow emptiness of conservatism projects its secret self criticism everywhere one used to find political debate.

The ran out of ideas with Eisenhower. This is how they fill the time.

When my news bulletin last night announced that ...a tank and cars have crashed in Queensland state...I thought the invasion had begun, and that people had driven cars at the tank to stop it.


Turned out to be "a fiery crash between 6 cars and a truck carrying a tank."

LOL

Whereas Americans, allowed to carry guns, turn the Martians into "Swiss cheese".

You must not have watched Earth Girls are Easy. Try to keep up with the science.

No wonder you do not have nukes.

Fucking colonials.

At first when Gustavo Petro was elected as President of Colombia I was worried, as he is a Leftist, and a former Leftist Guerilla, but so far he is doing a great job.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Colombia

The United States has been very close with Colombia at least since the time of President George W. Bush, and Colombia has had a long string of fantastic presidents, some of whom even studied at Harvard, and we have been supporting education in Colombia, and we have been expanding trade, and Colombia is a wonderful success story.

I am happy that President Gustavo Petro is doing a good job, and may God bless Colombia.

Salute,

Tony V.

Fucking colonials.

Who?  The 'Sons and Daughters of the Southern Cross'?
We'll get nukes, one way or another..you watch us...we won't be jumping into the billabong to become ghosts until the very end.

Or maybe biological and chemical weapons...everybody else is, without sanction.

We don't have nukes because we fell for the 3 card trick;
Card 1: 'Signing nuclear non-proliferation treaties is best for world peace'.
Card 2: 'Sign defence alliances and you will be looked after, no need for nuclear weapons'.
Card 3: 'Defence alliances are an iron-clad guarantee of protection if attacked'.

Whereas nothing, absolutely nothing about defence alliances is guaranteed...protection/assistance is at the whim of the leaders/people of other countries at the time.
Which is fair enough, "look after yourself in this world, son...because nobody else will".
Exactly why every nation is now trying to arm itself as best it can.
Ukraine is a perfect example for other defenceless countries..."arm yourself with nukes and every missile known to man or you'll be slaughtered".

Science, or space fantasy?

I would not call her.  Nor would I call a rabid pit bull.

Missed the DC Code news, whatever that's about.
