Israel retaliates. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/iran-israel-conflict?mod=mhp

Your question was a deflection from the actual conversation. So yes, I ignored it.

So I ask you, do we arrest and jail ANYONE with zero evidence based on an unproven allegation? I’m ready to listen when and if this woman can produce some evidence that this actually happened. Thirty one years since, likely no evidence. My point isn’t intended to be political. Change the names and I’m still where I am on this.

Without evidence of wrongdoing, allegations are just that, allegations. The production that Ford/Feinstein put on in the Kavanaugh hearings was pathetic. It turned out to be a TV series based on nothing more than an attempted takedown of a conservative judge. If there was a crime committed it was the prefabricated charade the Democrats introduced and promoted. To this day, not a single shred of evidence has been presented regarding Ford’s claims. The sole purpose of the production was to destroy his reputation. Now we have another brave soul coming forward a handful of days before a major election day claiming that 31 years ago Trump “groped” her. Bull****!

So that’s a crime? That’s just vulgarity and stupidity.

Whether it’s Trump or anybody else, where do you draw the line on allegations without any evidence?

Over three decades after the alleged accusation? Less than two weeks before elections? In this case, no I don’t see this as a credible accusation without some shred of evidence.

Echoes of Christine Blasey Ford. Same playbook, different year.

Israel’s top cease-fire negotiator made a new offer to Hamas leaders: Enjoy safe passage to another country if you lay down your arms and release the hostages. The proposal from Israeli spy chief David Barnea, made in a meeting with Egyptian officials this past week to break the impasse, was swiftly rejected by the U.S.-designated terrorist group, Arab mediators said. Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas’s top cease-fire negotiator, said the offer showed how Israel was still misreading the group and warned it could continue fighting for months, if not years, the mediators said. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “has reiterated that we are willing to give them safe passage if they lay down their arms and release the hostages,” said Ophir Falk, the prime minister’s foreign-policy adviser. “At the same time, anyone who will hurt the hostages will be hunted down.” Hamas didn’t respond to a request for comment. -WSJ 10/25/2024

The truth.

Well, if you guys are canceling, I am too!

Shamelessness is apparently a prerequisite to being a politician.

Not at all surprising. https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-provided-houthis-with-tracking-data-to-target-ships-in-red-sea-report/amp/

I was wondering the same thing. I’m missing the CAPS LOCK action.

It’s ridiculous. I couldn’t believe this when I checked the schedules. Then again, Manfred’s in charge.

“War all the time” North Korea has sent hundreds of special forces to eastern Russia for training in recent weeks, according to South Korea’s main intelligence agency, as Moscow relies on Pyongyang and other partners, including Iran, to support its war effort in Ukraine. Russian naval vessels transported around 1,500 North Korean special-forces troops to Russia this month, and Pyongyang has plans eventually to send as many as 12,000 soldiers to assist Russia, according to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service.

Speaking of complete chaos, how do think Russia and its allies would respond to your scenario? How do you think the US would respond? This is where it would get really interesting. Likely, too interesting.

Flaherty got hammered this evening giving up eight runs over three innings. Walked four and struck out ZERO! He may want to come back to the Tigers and Fetter as his stock is taking a dive.

Guardians walk it off on Clay Holmes.

5-5 in the bottom of the ninth.

This series is over. Looking like the Dodgers and Yankees. 🤮

Johnson and Biden both read the tea leaves and stepped aside. They do have one thing in common.

Is that why Biden was forced out by his own party? Odd.

Isn’t it reassuring that we live in a country where the top two candidates for the presidency, to begin with, were Biden and Trump. And isn’t it really wonderful that the powers that be of both parties would have preferred their candidates stay out of the limelight so that they wouldn’t harm their chances of being elected by being seen or heard.

For the sake of accuracy, the Yankees minor league affiliate in Tampa are now the Tampa Tarpons. The name change occurred a couple of years back.
