My sister and brother-in-law had a trip to Israel planned for Spring of 2024 and then canceled after Oct. 7. The travel company person said don't worry, Israel is our 51st stateIsrael was created by us and it's really a silent 51st State we placed in the Middle East.
Nobody follows the constitution it's just a old handbook and nobody can agree with what it says or means. Kinda like the founders wrote USPAP another worthless document.if they want to 51...they need to follow the constitution
Iran is #4 in the world in terms of IQ. They might be led by some nutty religious people, but on average - they are not dumb-dumbs. Historically, they kicked the Greeks, Romans, British and Russian Empires in the nuts - hard. But as I've written so many times here, Americans don't "do" history, geography, knowledge, math, basic reading, etc...It appears they are utilizing a form of leaderless resistance. They saw what happened in other gulf wars and have had decades to plan. Getting the truth on what is actually happening is getting more difficult each day.
Since we're talking parasites, I'd be more concerned about it turning you into a Dim than a Jew.But I don't want to be Jewish. I'm Lutheran![]()
The stereotyping on Fox News and CNN is laughable, the former portrays all Iranians as goat herders and CNN shows them as closet liberals who want to move to Manhattan and work in an art gallery. I’ve known and dealt with quite a few Iranians and know they are a proud people with an ancient culture the west knows little about. The ones I have dealt with are more concerned with how to improve their business. One guy I got to know very well in my advertising days used to tell me many things about his country and how he ended up in the US. He was lower middle class in Iran, but got a scholarship to study civil engineering. The year he got his degree was when the embassy was taken so he had to change plans and become an Oriental Rug dealer. He didn’t have a pity party he readjusted. He had a great sense of humor and told me the biggest mistake he ever made was hiring a blonde haired blue eyed guy as a salesman in his store. The poor guy never made a sale. He chalked it up to a weird kind of bigotry, when westerners go into an Oriental Rug store, they expect the Lawrence of Arabia experience, not some salesman who looks like a California surfer.Iran is #4 in the world in terms of IQ.
