RE: Because the glove didn't fit, they had to acquit...

That's the Only Absolute Fact yet stated on this whole blog ...
Here's another ... They ain't sayin' ...

RE: Because the glove didn't fit, they had to acquit...

If the glove was cut consistent with the cut on OJ's finger ... That clinches it.

The cops would've Not known of the cut finger & would've planted an uncut glove.

See my 1st comment above

RE: Because the glove didn't fit, they had to acquit...

"I didn't do it ... My hired goons did it." ... That is Not a defense.

Kinda maxing out the stereotype, eh?

I figure I (and everyone else) are unlikely to get Truly Reliable info from ANYWHERE ...

Update on Egypt/Gaza border - April 12/24 ...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Merlot ...
Reports appear to conflict ...



Both reports are from February.
To date ... I've heard no reports of Gazans admitted to Egypt.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Re: Sal's comment...

Israel uses its military to protect civilians.
Hamas uses civilians (and hostages) to protect itself.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

"Palestinians"/Gazans are between a rock covered with scorpions and a hard place that's on fire.

NOone wants 'em and Israel is stuck with 'em.
Among 22 Islamic nations... No One has offered to take in a Single Gazan Refugee.

When Israel began moving South towards Rafab ... Egypt sent personnel to the Gaza border to facilitate admittance of Gazan Refugees.

Egypt moved in personnel & concrete barriers to prevent a Single Gazan from crossing the border.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I'd say it's impossible because Hamas would slaughter those engaged in the revolt.

A bad joke repeated Every Year ...

Lincoln was shot the night of April 14 ... Died April 15
Titanic hit the iceberg the night of April 14 ... Sunk April 15

US taxes are due April 15.

The IRS has a Really Sick Warped sense of humor ...

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Daphne -

The Glock Switch was patented in the 1990s and intended for use by military organizations.

Bad actors (e.g. ChiComs) producing the gizmos for nefarious purposes and 3D printing changed that.

As you imply ... There's no putting the genie back in the bottle ...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

My reference was a Bible Dictionary, the authors of which likely knew Less of the subject that you
And almost Certainly did Not speak Hebrew.

I graciously concede the point ...



:

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

The author of the book cited in the OP raises the issue of the ChiComs producing Glock Switches to create violence in US streets.

Your beef should be directed at said Author.

I'll not respond to comments intended to this blog down stupid rabbit holes.

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Note that law enforcement is seeing a surge in the full auto weapons.

It may be presumed the "$20 Glock to Uzi" conversion gizmos are being procured by nuts who should Not be behind a trigger.

As per firepower- More enables More bullets in Less time.

A muzzle loader vs machine gun being an Extreme (and Obvious) example.

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

1 ... Simple, yes ... Realistic, MUCH Less So.:

2 ... Agreed ... The most dangerous part of Any gun is the nut behind the trigger.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I heard it reported on news - Should've looked before posting.

"Russia is producing about 250,000 artillery munitions per month, or about 3 million a year, according to NATO intelligence estimates of Russian defense production shared with CNN, as well as sources familiar with Western efforts to arm Ukraine. Collectively, the US and Europe have the capacity to generate only about 1.2 million munitions annually to send to Kyiv, a senior European intelligence official told CNN."


Note that the 3 - 1 Russian advantage includes production of ALL Ukraine's European Allies And the US

It's still a war of attrition and Russia Will Win.... like I said - Simple Numbers

RE: God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship

Titanic had two sister ships ... Olympic and Britannic.Prior to Titanic, 9lympic had collided with a RN Ship .... was damaged but didn't sink.
Britannic was used was used as a troop ship in WWI and was sunk by a German U-boat

Violet Jessup worked as a maid on Olympic and Titanic and served as a nurse on Brittanic.
She survived all three incidents and worked at sea her whole life.

By the 1950s she was retired.
She received a mysterious phone call...
A voice asked if she'd been given a baby as her lifeboat was lowered from Titanic.
Violet confirmed she'd been given a baby.
The voice said, "I'm that baby." ... and hung up.

RE: God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship

Mermaid.
I was caught up with pesky irl stuff & crazy device issues.

I HATE when real life interferes with my Virtual Existence...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Ukraine is War done the old fashioned Russian way ... attrition...
And little regard for human life - Ukraine Or Russian.

WWII ...
Hitler will run out of bullets before I run out of Red Army.
Joe Stalin

Ukraine has become an rtillery duel and Russia Will Win.

It's simple numbers ...
The US/West can vote money and be damned.

The US produces30,000 artillery shells/month
Russia produces 30,000 shells/DAY.

Like I said ...Simple Numbers.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

According to the Shortest War Is Best (or Less Bad) line of thinking ...
It may be argued that providing "Humanitarian Aid" or calling for "Humanitarian Cease Fire" will prolong the war and could be regarded as an Atrocity, War Crime or Crime Against Humanity.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

By one line of reasoning ...
The Best (read: Most Humane) War is the Shortest War.

That means inflicting as much destruction, misery, suffering, and death by All means possible as quickly as possible.

This was expounded 8n the US Civil War by Confederate Stonewall Jackson -
And practiced by Union William Tecumseh Sherman.

"War is cruelty and cannot be refined."
Wm. T. Sherman

He later shortened it to "War is hell."

This approach may have become less Practital since the introduction of thermonuclear warfare.

Since WWII the US has become the Grand Master of INhumane War ...
Doing only enough to prolong the suffering, misery and dying for Decades.

I'm aware that some of Y'all 's results will vary.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Nothing new under the sun ... As we're taught in the book of Ecclesiasties.

Jerusalem is a Very Ancient city and the name predates the entry of the Hebrews into the land.

It was originally U ru sa lim ...generally taken to mean City of Salim or City of PEACE.

This has to be the greatest Historical Sarcasm of All Time for what's Likely the most blood drenched piece of real estate in the known Universe.

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Basic info on the Glock Switch -

The quarter sized gizmos don't even need to be smuggled in -
With a 3D printer, they can be cranked out for about $20/copy.

Long story short - A $20 pocket sized gizmo converts one's Glock into the near-equivalent of a WWII German Schmeiser sub machine-gun.

Should the US again experience something like the '20 George Floyd riots -
We might expect an escalation by an order of magnitude.

Pleasant Dreams, Y'all.
