Salute to our fallen hero’s.

i hope everyone is doing well, I’m just fine now. Officially retired and waiting to turn old enough (I’m 64, 65 in Feb) for SS and medical. I hope savings holds out but it’s nice not working. It took its toll on me. Dogs and me are staying active as can be with the CA lockdown. A whole other topic. You all take care now.

Was just thinking about how our dads were at two ends of the same phenomenon -- the Bomb.  Yours helped build it; mine was there for the tests at Bikini.

Had my father not mouthed off to his superiors, and thereby been forbidden to go see the test(s), they might have met.

Had your father gone on to experiment it may have led to even more insidious weaponry. Maybe think of it on the bright side buzz.

And in the ongoing news: New CDC "best estimate" is of a below-0.3% fatality rate (for those infected), far below the estimates that were used as justification for "lockdown" policies.

And I'm seeing Progs posting things like, "oh, those right-wingers are all just clamoring to re-open the country because all they care about is their stock portfolios."

Hello?  FORTY MILLION UNEMPLOYED, and counting.

Feature not a bug. The numbers and models never added up to shutdown.

But getting 40 million on unemployment... that's straight out of Cloward Piven.

Those progs who probably have big trust funds, or they'd be clamoring for their jobs back.

Such peace partners -

Eating with an Israeli is a crime

Last week, several Palestinians were invited by Jewish settler leaders to a Ramadan iftar meal, with which Muslims end their daily fast at sunset during the holy month of Ramadan.

Scenes of Muslims and Jews sitting to eat together are a fine example of coexistence and peace between the two sides. These are the kind of heart-warming events that promote tolerance and lay the foundations for real peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Instead of welcoming the iftar meal, many Palestinians are now expressing outrage over the encounter and condemning it as a treacherous act.

They are also denouncing the Palestinian participants, dubbing them as “traitors.” Some of the Palestinians who attended the iftar meal predicted the outrage, and requested in advance that their names and photos not be made public. Palestinians, in other words, are afraid for their lives because they committed the “crime” of eating with Israelis.

But Antifa is more likely to bash others with a tire iron. Stolen tire iron at that.

a little archy is always appreciated

BTW, did you ever read the story about Don Marquis going on the wagon? He wasn't seen in any of his regular haunts for some time, then one day strode into a bar he'd formerly frequented, and announced, "I've conquered that Goddam will-power of mine.  Gimme a drink!"
