Israeli pay back... I look forward to the movie based on real events. This could become a James Bond like franchise.

Edit... Oh, and the first person shooter game.

I posted this after the 2nd debate. Based on the Red/Blue

My rules for the next debate.

1. No audience. Crowd noise takes away from whats being said and the debators wind up often playing to the crowd, not the viewers.

2. When a question is asked, the moderator(s) will press a button in front of them to turn on the microphone of the person being asked a question or allowed to respond. Mics will be automatically turned off no more than 10 seconds after their alloted time.

3a. Repeat offenders who try to butt in on others' time, or excessively run over their time will be given two warnings. Third time, a trap door opens, and the offender will disappear from the stage.

3b. In lieu of trap doors, soundproof booths will be lowered over offenders, making sure they are not heard.

3c. If the next debate is on Nickelodeon, the second warning will be a bucket of slime.

Sadly, people would die, but the idea of the “Bolivarian” forces of Venezuela invading a neighbor cracks me up. Their navy lost a patrol boat to an unarmed cruise ship several years ago.

I certainly remember vividly the Munich Olympics massacre, which led to so much including the Germans getting a serious professional antiterrorism capability. Israel made sure to track down and terminate all involved. Bravo!

Gonna save that debate video clip: Thirty-five rare seconds during which Hannity kept his big mouth shut and did not talk over his guests.

Israel knew? I'm no fan of Charlie Kirk, but this seems like a bit of vindication for his comments on the PBD podcast. I'm worried about what else we'll learn. {sigh}

When i participated in exercises in the Naval War College's war-gaming center in the 1970's, i recall learning that the USNavy anticipated and gamed every significant engagement EXCEPT kamikaze attacks. So, it is easy for me to believe that Israel's analysts didn't think Hamas would execute such incredibly brutal attacks on civilians as they did on Oct 7th. Still, i think there will be some 'intense' discussions about why they failed to adequately prepare for it. Personally, i like Netanyahu's plan to send the Mossad for a world-wide headhunt for the dirt-bags who sit in luxury hotels facilitating such terrrorism.

Newsom looked a bit annoyed when DeSantis brought up Newsom’s father-in-law moving to Florida, but he really let his slimy smile slip a moment when DeSantis brought out the poop map that identifies where every pile is located.

Newsom is smoke and mirrors.

Newsom reminds me of a slimy snake.

There is an easy way to solve the employees refuse to come back to the office problem.

Change the job pay-scales to include a work from office premium. 2% extra in pay for every day worked in the office. Or 2% less for every day not worked in the office. Basically paying employees for their commute. Adjust that amount upward if not a strong enough response.

It is defendable because an employee working from the office is more valuable to the organization than is the same employee working from home.

i think there were two really good hits by DeSantis: The one Erick mentioned about the SFO feces map, and the one when Desantis reminded Newsome that Florida OPENED Disney World while California kept Disneyworld CLOSED for over a year during Covid. The two goofiest offerings by Newsome were: When he said California taxes were less than Florida's, and when he claimed California had less crime than Florida---both while he was looking at reputable statistics clearly showing the opposite.
