Both the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions are spending Christmas in Romania. What’s the significance of that?

And US Navy has over priced defense systems with limited sustained endurance – terrible weapons evaluation and selection ( for the new drone warfare) Don’t even want to think of our ( US)current ground combat readiness( Israel’s military soldier training discipline really gone down hill) US moral too , I think not good. The intel just keeps coming in even on Christmas Eve and it is not good.

This is a good example.

The mindset is easy to understand. It’s all about money and best of all, it’s money for doing something good and important without getting dirty or exhausted. These zealots go to sleep at night with an smile on their face and wake up the same way. If they fill in the right blanks and check the right boxes they advance a “career” in saving the planet. Nothing so banal and mundane as being a barrista or marketing flunky. They get to associate with others like themselves. In fact the whole ecology movement is a big mating mechanism, similar to DC where upper level bureaucrats, journalists and academics regularly attend each other’s weddings. They not going to turn down enpixelated money, after all it’s accepted for mortgage and car payments. Every society has their own version of the Soviet nomenclatura.

oops — worthy of our VP.

A word salad worthy of our most venerated and exhulted

Yes. That struck me also. Generating new evidence …

This is the difference between the world “ they “ live in and the world a business owner lives in that actually creates and delivers a needed product or service: In the last couple of months I have noticed many small contractors like myself ( home repair, landscape, etc) doing jobs at essentially cost just trying to meet payroll. Despite the fact that a lot of the materials cost have gone up. This is the service sector starting to run out of steam.

How do you go broke? Slowly at first then suddenly. Probably true for nations too, just takes a little longer.

not dissimilar to many previous and wildly successful ‘wars’..
war on cancer
war on obesity
war on drugs……

and if anyone whispers a word of objection they’ll be instantly found guilty of racism, sexism, planetary destruction, gross stupidity and witchcraft

Even anarchy is a system.

Except those who are outside the system. Get a job with the world bank, probably the UN, and various other organizations with international scope and you are officially exempt from virtually all laws, and taxes, of any nation.

Prepare to receive the StRAP or Strap-on.

US federal governemnt should choose which foreign country a company should build factories in?

“If racism is systemic, what is the system?”
Mankind and sin.
Doesn’t matter what artificial divisions are devised. One group will always seek to dominate or eliminate another.
The god of this world (age, singular in the text. “Eternity” is plural.) is the maestro. (Luke 4:6, 2Corinthians: 4:4)
But his day’s are numbered. 

“But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.”
Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of the U.N. IPCC Nov 13th, 2010

Good point.

A couple along those lines.
We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” – Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation.

“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony. … climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” – Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment

You forgot to put ‘Science’ in quotes.
