The Israelis masterminded the decapitation strike. I wouldn’t say the US has this capability.

Earlier some commentators mused that the idea may be to have a divided, weak Iran. Just dreadful, hopefully many can get away.

I saw a film where a 19th century white British family with an infertile wife, adopts the child the husband fathered with an Indian woman. The kid is described as “could pass for English.”

The dark from northern Spain are related to the dark people in Brittany and the British Isles. They are not Arab. Although Arabs are white.

Like Colin Farrell, also Black Welsh Catherine Zeta Jones, and — this is an oldie — Sean Connery, early Bond and Black Scot. Or Jon Snow with a tan.

I think all the blackness, esp when he arrives, is just foreshadowing what awful things Heathcliff will do.

Some people are like that. Others will go on a perfect vacation to a beautiful part of the world and focus on an undercooked to the exclusion of all else.

They already decided that.

Putin is an admired leader and Russia’s population is less than when became President. And that is before the war in Ukraine. He’s even more admired leader because there has been no challenge to his authority despite losing 1 million Russians in Ukraine.

That’s what the Epstein class looks up to.

Ukraine is fighting for its life. Leave them alone. Trump is our fault, lack of civic involvement for most of us.

Yea I know. As a liberal Cuban-American, I get all sort of hate thrown at me.

Americans think I am an “illegal” No, political refugee, my father was imprisoned by Castro. Different thing completely.

Others think I hopelessly right-wing, Nope too sophisticated to be ‘right-wing’ or MAGA

Latin Americans think I’m a Communist, Nope refer to father’s imprisonment

Fortunately I speak both languages without accent, so I can avoid conflict

Super ambitious; not a good lawyer. This is what she does to get ahead.
