  1. SF never indicated DJT was a saint, nor would I ever, and I certainly wouldn't compare the President to Christ. Additionally, I never subscribed to anyone's infatuation that Obama was somehow Messianic......
  2. Your mistakenly assuming I am going to follow a RADICAL right wing nut with this guy's thinking......... BTW - God can use anyone....The bible is full of Saints who are far less than perfect....Being human MEANS we have all failed and fallen short......The ONLY perfect human being was nailed to a cross over 2000 years ago......
  3. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/09/politics/is-iran-ukraine-plane/index.html Trudeau and CNN ......... Almost Russian.......Good enough for you yet BarryO?
  4. hhttps://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/plane-crash-us-officials-confident-iran-shot-down-passenger-jet-bound-for-ukraine-today-2020-01-09-live-stream-updates/ U.S. officials are confident Iran shot down a Ukrainian jetliner in the hours after the Iranian missile attack on U.S. targets earlier this week, CBS News has learned. The Ukrainian International Airlines plane crashed Wednesday soon after takeoff from Tehran's airport, killing all 176 people on board. U.S. intelligence picked up signals of a radar being turned on, sources told CBS News. U.S. satellites also detected two surface-to-air missile launches, which happened shortly before the plane exploded, CBS News was told. Federal officials were briefed on the intelligence Thursday, CBS News transportation Kris Van Cleave reports. A source who was in the briefing said it appears missile components were found near the crash site. The plane was believed to have been mistakenly targeted. Anyone think Iran is going to accept responsibility?
  5. A terrorist that both sides of the political aisle agree needed to be killed.........is now dead.....
  6. My staff has 2 different parents who have scouts. And I am trying to lose weight.........Plus my bowling league parents.....Mrs. SF likes the peanut butter ones.......
  7. https://www.foxnews.com/media/pences-office-media-9-11-terrorists-soleimani "Not every media outlet criticized Pence. Writer David Harsanyi argued in National Review, a conservative publication, that Pence was likely referring to figures from the 9/11 commission report. He also criticized journalists for suggesting the "myth" that Shiite forces like Soleimani wouldn't support Sunni terrorists -- pointing specifically to Iran funding Hamas. "Really, it’s remarkable that so many journalists are seemingly unaware that the 9/11 Commission Report found that 8 to 10 hijackers -- of 19, not 12 -- traveled through Iran to Afghanistan with the help of the Islamic Republic. Let’s not forget: Iran still owes the families of victims of 9/11 billions of dollars for its role in the attacks," he said. Harsanyi also addressed the lack of evidence surrounding Iranian involvement in 9/11. "In a report teeming with wrongdoing, this is the one assertion that Iran apologists love to highlight. But we know that before 9/11, Iran had ties to Al Qaeda terrorists, offered them safe passage and helped train them. Perhaps the Iranians never imagined the extremists they were aiding would be as successful as they were on 9/11, but that doesn’t mean they don’t bear any responsibility," he wrote."
  8. Last night while the Vice President was notifying the congressional leaders of bother parties of the Iranian missile attacks, Speaker Pelosi told her aide "I'll call him back"......
  9. Well we could always just cede Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to them I guess......and FTR - that group of "Iranian Officials" were terrorists..... Look I get your point - "Why are we even there"? Well we are, and Iran wants us to leave just leaving the door open to all of the oil in that region. You thought Sadaam and his delusions of taking over Saudi Arabia was bad - the Mullahs would be waaaayyyy worse....... IMHO
  10. Again - SF could most likely make an argument either way, and I do think the school overreacted in this case, but those darn snowflakes sure melt hard and loud.......over a 2009 video of all things...... The thing about good comedy is there is always a level of truth to it, no matter who it may offend, and today's youth are not prepared to handle much truth even if there is humor in it's presentation.....alas....
  11. Introductory Accounting? SF is all for free speech and can most likely stand behind this professor in that light, but in the context of "Introductory Accounting" SF can't see a connection (an "educational opportunity" in her words) between making or editing videos and accounting......Maybe leave that up to the media majors......
  12. Because Iran has no capacity to attack the United States, Iran’s retaliation if it comes will likely come against US troops or US government officials stationed or visiting the Middle East. Iran wants the US citizenry to BELIEVE it can attack the US. IMHO you are ignoring or forgetting the constant stream of proxy wars with Iran for the past 50 years that the previous administrations have allowed to fester for reasons know only to them. This President is tired of this position and has done what past administrations have promised to do but never delivered. Don't forget, this military leader (General) has already been the proven leader in many successful shots at the US in the region the latest being the Iraqi embassy. By taking out the primary leader(s) of this proxy effort (cutting off the head of the snake) he is telling the Iranians to come at us (if you can) while knowing they can only be smaller attacks which could be countered - and retaliation within Iran might begin to tell a different story of the citizenry still inside Iran. FYI - Iran isn't freedom. Those "protesters" in Iran you see on TV are there because they were ordered to be there or else....... I can understand your skepticism considering the US's (past administrations) history with Iran, but I don't share it......
