Well gee, it’s almost as if China isn’t a military threat to America in any way, no matter how hard Neo cons are coping about it?
China will never be a military threat to us, but they have done a pretty good job economically and culturally. They own a ton of US farmland, tons of meat production, they bought up a lot of movie studios, or at least a large percentage, ten cent owns so many video game companies as well. They aren't going to roll troops into the US, or drop bombs on us, but they are waging their own sort of war.
 
Oh fuck yeah. I'm going to go grab a lawn chair, a six pack, and some bags of popcorn. I'll post up on the roof somewhere and watch the human comedy unfold. Maybe the roof Koreans will bring some steamed dumplings.
 
I can't stand listening to these Democrat Governors talking about how they are dealing with a "Broken immigration system". If we enforced the laws it would not be broken. To them, a "Working" immigration system is full open borders and the replacement of the native population.
Peter Hitchens often says something similar whenever governments announce a set of new powers to deal with the latest failing system. He points out the issue has never been a lack of powers under the law. Its that they never enforced the law. And so the new powers they want aren't about the thing they are saying they are going to fix; otherwise, it would already be fixed.

They can’t cross an ocean with an invasion force as things stand, but shit like the Panama Canal had them in a position to seriously degrade our capabilities.

I’m not even trying to correct you, it’s just an endless list of things we allowed them to be in position to do

The problem is China is a military threat to our allies like South Korea and Japan, and they still have nuclear weapons. I'm not certain that China will continue to be as much of an economic threat as the rest of the world gets sick and tired of their IP theft. Even India is getting sick of their shit; people forget that India and China have major territorial disputes that aren't getting any better, not to mention China's overt support for Pakistan's nuclear program.
 
A lot of atheists bring up the "if god is all powerful then everything i do he made me do" thinking it's a gotcha without realizing it's actually a central theme in the bible. When people in the bible point this out to god he says it to "yes, and?". By admitting you have free will of your own, you reclaim some of that power for yourself, it's the first step to admitting that you're worthy of something, god controls it all but a small part of that control is in you.
Just because God could puppeteer you around, doesn't mean that he does.

Never underestimate those who hate you.
 
She created a production company in 2009 with her amassed billions with the sole purpose of creating a film adaptation of Bless me, Ultima, some Chicano novel I don't know enough about to comment on, but it's probably gay.
I hate that book. It made me feel dirty to read it. You read the plot description on Wikipedia or wherever and it doesn't seem so bad, but when you experience reading it, it is.

They both live in Colorado. Is that all it takes to fuck up a state long-term? Having a left-aligned billionaire living in it? They only really got their fortunes in 2005 after the dad/husband died.
Well it certainly didn't help.
 
As based as this is, I wanted to see Commiefornia cuck themselves to death.
This is part of the problem. ‘I want to see California suffer’ doesn’t work in practice. Something like the EV mandate would have been a disaster for the country as a whole, driving up used car prices, the cost of gasoline, the cost of ICE vehicles (to make up for the loss of revenue in California), electricity increases due to California buying more power, etc.

Yeah, I think they get off on slave labor. I could probably think of two solutions that COULD work over illegal immigration.
if I get to keep what I pick? hell yeah, i'll get all the fucking corn and green beans I please for 5 dollars a hour.
 
AXIOS - White House envoy Steve Witkoff privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that Iran could unleash a mass casualty response if Israel bombs their nuclear facilities

I seriously doubt this. They will launch a ton of missiles, but purposely targeting civilian targets will alienate Irans allies they would desperately need for a long term war effort. Its a handwringing 'what-if'.

At worst case scenario there would be an estimated 15,000 - 20,000 Israelis dead. The last time Iran attacked US based there were more injuries from the explosion then actual casualties.
The risk is going to be far greater if they are allowed to proliferate nuclear warheads and threaten Arab countries which would destabilize the region beyond just Israel. This was inevitable.
The talks were a good try but its clear Iran isn't going to give up their nuclear weapons and as such, must be forcibly removed.
 
said it is more about being able to easily identify an individual
Yeah this part is basically the A.I. moratorium part of the bill. States no longer being able to resist the federal government using A.I. catalogue and track citizens. Think along the lines of a lesser version of China's social credit surveillance system, that is what people are worried about. Palantir being involved with Golden Dome is a separate but related issue. For those who are critical of Israel or Jews (left and right) this Palantir thing is doubly concerning because a company that has such close ties with Mossad and the IDF (and by extension the ADL) might potentially have access and observe most of the country. That means more deportations of pro-hamas green card and student visa holders.

California triggers my xenophobia because they made themselves so profoundly vulnerable that the risk analysis is at a point where a californiectomy seems like it might not be a bad idea.

They’re announcing “hey, we’ll stage any foreign op as long as it fucks with America”
 
REPORTER: "How imminent is an Israeli strike on Iran?
"Trump: "I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen. Look, it's very simple, not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."
