My parents were at San Onofre surfing and partying when everyone turned on their radios to listen to the news reports of the attack. Later, they would move to Pearl Harbor in support of the war.

If my dad knew a year before, you can't convince me that our government didn't know. Which is why I believe the aircraft carriers were at sea and the very old battleships were sitting ducks.

My father was on Oahu in October of 1940 when a friend told him what Japan was doing to get ready for the attack. My dad was so disturbed by what he was told that he took the next boat off Oahu, which happened to take him to Vancouver, BC. This was more than a year before the attack.

I watched the original TV series on first run, so I am a long time fan I still have the Trimble Concordance. I think you did a good job. It's long been a consensus that every other movie was a dud, and that Kahn was the best. I lost interest after Deep Space 9....

Unfortunately, term limits requires a constitutional amendment. And that isn't going to happen. Expand the court requires a Democrat trifecta. And that can't happen before 2029. Will we still have a democracy in 2029? Maybe not....

I live in Georgia, where "old time" business friendly Republicans are still in charge. It's hard to argue against electric vehicle manufacturers getting good deals from the GA Republicans. Rivian and Hyundai have huge investments here. If you must live in a red state, GA makes a lot of sense.

Trump wants a change to the floorplan so it's a giant letter "T" so no future President can remove references to Trump (as the next Democrat President would surely do).

Would it be legal for Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on Caracas? That's about the same concept.

I guess this means he is covered by Trump's January 6 pardon. Right?

Murder rates went way up during pandemic isolation. It's not surprising they are way down after the nation opened up again. More lives saved due to the COVID vaccine! Do you hear that RFK, Jr.?

Give up on the CDC and FDA. Look to recommendations from the "blue state" coalition (CA, NY, etc.). Get real recommendations.

Absolutely! If it had gone to Paramount, I would have canceled my CNN subscription and given up any thoughts of restarting HBO MAX.

Now we need an AI agent to catch and kill all of the fake AI-generated posts. We know that "big tech" won't hire humans to do that anymore.

Short answer: NO! There's almost no difference between the dot.com meltdown and the AI bubble now growing in the world economy. The Internet caused a lot of short term disruption. But it didn't disturb the 150 year trend of 2% growth. AI has even less chance of doing so.

True. But the return of the other survivors came after much internal dissent to the September 2 "double tap" strike. Then, in the wake of all that, the order went out to use bigger explosives to ensure no survivors. But yes, even if it's war, it's still murder of civilians.

There are arguments about the attacks. But the "double tap" against survivors is the literal example of a war crime in the military's own manual of military justice. So, there is literally no argument that it's illegal.

The next Democrat President should still arrest Hegseth and send him off to The Hague. It would set a good example that presidential pardons have limits. And it would avoid jurisdiction challenges in US courts.
