I think I just made the chess championship round or semi-finals not sure. It started out with about 1000 competitors.

Seems that 20 years ago today US invasion of Iraq began. The question is if anything was learned...

I was listening to Petraeus earlier. He said yes, much was learned and he was proud of his participation and what was done despite that many 'Americans' were 'displeased' by it.
What did he learn? Sorta like what the doctor says when you say, "Hey doc, it hurts when I do this?!". "Well, don't do that then!"

I got booted from my local neighborhood forum. I swear some people just have no sense of humor:
Here is what did it:
Under the banner of a 'Single mom' some lady was talking about not being able to feed her baby...a surreptitious ploy to get free stuff by donation. I replied that and I quote: "In 70% of cases, single moms choose to be single" boom, I'm done...lol. No loss 'cause better than 70% of the denizens are absolute mo-rons. All they want to do is bitch about the guy tailgating them (hint, it it probably was me...no, not really, at least not this time) A bunch of righty redneck dumbf*cks.

I'll tell you what is scary:
In Israel they are striking, rioting, demonstrating AGAINST fascism! That means fascism has taken a strong hold. I guess one could be grateful that in the U.S. on January 6th 2021 they rioted FOR fascism.
Does anyone remember the American political party, 'Insert Party Name Here', that invited Netanyahu, to speak in the Senate in protest of President 'Insert Name Here' attempts to castigate and pull away from the Israeli government's policies regarding the treatment of the 'Insert Name Here' minority.
C'mon, I'm sure you can remember Boids. You be American.

Why, yes, of course it has. Netanyahu and his Likud party have always been very far to the right, but at the last elections, they couldn't get a majority, and so they co-opted a couple of small and ultra-far-right parties into their coalition.
In addition to that, the announced far-right overhaul of the justice system — which is what the people are protesting against — is important to him personally, because without it, he's facing prosecution and a potential prison sentence.
= DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR =
For some reason that sounds very familiar.

Amnesty Intl has been screaming about that for many years. An Indian Muslim likely, an authoritarian I'd bet my pee pee on. She is making it up just as she says she isn't... Why does everyone focus on this nonsense.
As Jon Stewart said recently... weaponized nonsense. Kuklinski is going past Biden's response. She wonders why, I wonder why, also.

I was going to forego this but now:
A lesson for life about how the world works (Something to carry around with oneself)
Right now both the left and the right is putting the screws to Tik Tok due to its Chinese connections. There reasons for this are twofold but I don't know which is primary. I'll start with the one I think it is.
First, the left is once again following the right's lead because everyone is despERATe to show the rabble that the U.S. government is indeed functional by its ability to work together for a common cause, it is not in the nature of the liberal to go all freakazoid over national security.
Second: After Biden's shootdown of the Chinese spy ballon, the left rank-and-file cannot afford to not show solidarity with its leader, Biden.
ok, that didn't turn out as profound as I thought it would, but it is the truth, nonetheless. The message is clear, the squeeky wheel gets the grease...In this case, the paranoid get appeased so the wheels of progress keep moving forward, but it won't, because the crazies are insatiable.
