Friends, the United States and Iran are both threatening to unleash "hell" on one another, which, in the case of Iran, seems speculative at best, since they can't even deliver an explosive payload anywhere they aim at. Missile fragments, maybe. Be that as it may, the world thinks Iran is "winning", because the world hates Donald Trump so much that it's rooting for the theocratic loons instead -- and of course the global media tells them that, indeed, the U.S. is sinking ever deeper into a "quagmire". Well, maybe at some point these talking heads, and the mullahs, will wake up and smell the coffee. Alas, it probably won't be today.

In other news, the latest Newsmakers show is the usual tour de force of exquisite analysis. Brian and I cover everything from A.I. to Western security arrangements. Don't miss out!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Of course many of the world's talking heads are talking such hooey because have been ordered to do so. And for many it is "fashionable" to trash America and especially an unaplogetically pro American President. Perhaps the European carpers might want to think of just which Hitler youth graduate they would be subjugated to today were it not for little old us.
ReplyDeleteIn our free country, maybe the only way to shut down the reflexive domestic ingrates is for the public to be motivated to make the same choice we made when we finally smelled the coffee about such as Dan Rather and Phil Donohue , and when far left talk radio fluffed right from its presumptuous start. We laughed them all off the stage! President Trump may yet be seen for the great President he is and when the public is convinced of that his vicious detractors may well be seen for the "insects ,microbes" (Chekov the author)they are.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Well, Artemis II is going well so far . For me the WONDER is still there; Apollo 8 was always my favorite because of that and its a thrill to see a reprise of it. It has some new features too. I'm not sure why, because all the lunar Apollos went around the moon but apparently this is the first time some features on the usually invisible side will be sunlit for their edification. Sure , its our moon but it IS another world. Its only 240, 000 miles away and that is 10 to the infinite factor less than the ninth part of a hair of distances even within our "local"galaxy. And not too long ago they pointed the Hubble to an "empty" part of the cosmos and just happened to sight over 200 galaxies! STILL, in itself, they are in deep space I think; perhaps it would not be so very different in its ambience if they were rounding Pluto (?). Some of the Apollo Command Module Pilots did EVAs outside midway between the moon and Earth. I hope they do it again this time and give us a view of what it looks like to have the sun , earth and moon all suspended within sight. Or to have the heavens almost fantastically visible beneath one's very feet. GLORIOUS!
