EXCELLENT movie. Catch it in the theater if you can.

So we agree: avoiding certain death is not at all the same as seeking a better standard of living. I don't "blame" those trying to flee shitholes. But First World countries have no obligation to abandon their borders to accommodate them. Instead, nations should promote the interests of the...

not letting people in when the alternative is almost certain death. Believe it or not, people don't get uprooted unless there is a good reason for it. "Almost certain death" is often used as cover for "vastly worse living conditions." But let's not use the term "Shithole.&q...

Won't let me post on my Training Log.

Shes saying "you've likened the democratic party to the KKK; how does it feel to yourself as the nomited head of ICE, and all the people who work for it, if ICE is labeled similarly. WHat do you think of officials who are reckless with such attacks (like yourself) on well meaning employees?&qu...

Johno, she's more Indian (India) than Jamaican by upbringing.

Barack was half white, raised by his white mother & grandparents in Hawaii. But no one marketed him as either Hawaiian or as white.

So it will be with Kamala, as long as she's at least 1/1024th black.

Electing a black President will greatly improve race relations.

The 14th Amendment contains the caveat. We sign SOFAs (status of forces agreeements) with host countries to deal with precisely these sorts of issues. I doubt that an SOFA overrides the Constitution. And when you say "the caveat," I assume you mean the "subject to the jurisdiction&qu...

Suppose the agent of a foreign, hostile military gave birth on US soil. Would the child be a US citizen? Most people would find that absurd. Re: your examples - I'd think guest soldiers are not "subject to the jurisdiction," therefore not granted US citizenship, similarly to diplomats. So,...

Imagine if a pregnant soldier infiltrated into the US and gave birth. Would her child be a US citizen?

Let it go to the Supreme Court. I'd guess that's Pres. Trump's intention. That, and to keep the invasion, err "caravan," on the media front burner. It will be interesting to see the Supreme Court's take on the meaning & intent of a Constitutional Amendment written to grant citizenship...

IMO, an immigrant starts off on the wrong foot if he: a) expects admission to the US as a right; b) forces his way through other countries' borders; and c) marches while waving his native country's flag. And D) has made no effort to master his new country's language & culture. That would demonst...

If it were possible to forever blot out the names & killscores of mass killers, I might be for it. But it's not.

Dems, look!!! Nazi salutes. ^

Because events seem to be favoring him and motivating his base to vote, simultaneously disheartening many of the usual D voters. Kavanaugh Shenanigans. Kavanaugh Impeachment Talk. Antifa Tantrums. Elevator & Restaurant Screamers. And now: The Caravan https://s.abcnews.com/images/International/ce...

Novel theory, that Trump initiated identity politics. Let alone that he's playing it at all.

Dems, fly your crazy flag and let your true colors show!!!
I'm sure the US is ready to abandon individualism for identity politics, and due process for "Guilty unless proven innocent."

Let's light this candle!

I fucked YaMam.

Paglia, yes. She has a better grip on male/female dynamics than almost any other of the usual suspects, and has for years. Her analysis of female power puts everyone else in the shade.

Only in a tiny country like Israel could a unit in wheeled vehicles beat airborne units to the scene.

Three hundred missions a year?

Worthwhile read. Interesting that a police unit would become Israel's top anti-terrorist team. Although probably every member is former military.

Such logic & fairness. By that standard, as soon as you read that Trayvon wore a hoodie & drank watermelon iced tea, you knew he had assaulted Zimmerman.

No, it's not a pron.

This was Jennifer Lawrence's breakout role in 2010. Gritty, well-written, with an incredible hillbilly music score. Lawrence's star power is evident and the movie kicks ass. Not in a comic book kind of way.

The thing about Ford's accusation is it aligns with Kavanaugh's past. It would have never stuck against Gorsuch, but fits very nicely with Bart O'Kavanaugh, member of the 100 keg club... There's a lot sexual assault here on campus, the huge majority being alcohol related. Heavy drinking as evidence...

Just saw this last night. Parts of it were good, suspenseful, dark. Del Toro & Brolin were very good. But the ending just felt like a setup for Sicario III.
