Tough Guy

In case you haven't seen this photo yet, before you look below, take a guess who it is:

Well, it's not an action adventure movie actor.  It's the King of Jordan, who announced today that Jordan is going to attack ISIS until it doesn't have a bomb or a bullet left.  Life imitates art, huh?

He can actually fly things and do stuff.

And I don’t mean car elevators and equity raids.

I wonder if he has a potato in his pants like Bush did on the deck of the "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier.

Judging from the look on this guy's face, I'd guess he doesn't need a potato.

I understand that the King has not actually flown in recent combat action. He has threatened to do so but it hasn't happened. Also, everyone should understand that the US forces are doing 90% of the bombing attacks.

Since the killing al-Kassâsbah, the Jordanian air force alone has carried out 20% of the airstrikes against ISIS. Besides the US and Jordan, also Britain, the UAE, and I think Australia have been carrying out air attacks. The US may be doing the majority of the air warfare but certainly not 90%.

Also, all the ground fighting against ISIS is being done by Kurds and Arabs, with some Iranian support. That's the most dangerous part of the fighting and is, in fact, the real war against ISIS, for which the airstrikes are just a support operation.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
