    Trump found guilty on all 34 counts

    It is worth pointing out that in a criminal trial all 12 jurors have to vote to convict. Yet not one single juror voted not guilty on any count. That is NOT the same as voting innocent, It means not one single juror felt there was even reasonable doubt on any of the 34 counts.

    Did the Founding Fathers get anything Wrong?

    The answer regarding near perfection was answered before the Constitution was written! NO! After all they were basically the same men who wrote The Articles of Confederation. But they did a lot better than the people nit picking on this thread would do, even with the advantage of hindsight.

    Another look at the moon landing.

    Specific engineering gets lost throughout history. In hindsight no surprise in this case as the space project was both complicated and a race. Once it was won funding was cut because the politicians had what they wanted. And in this instance there were reasons for some parts to quickly be lost...

    Another look at the moon landing.

    That is the bottom line on so many conspiracy theories. Almost everyone has to be in on it. Where it gets very funny is when it is about an election, because in that case if over half the electorate is in on it there was no need for anything underhanded.

    Another look at the moon landing.

    Yet they were smart enough to be winning the race. If they even suspected, they only needed to get in Moon orbit and take the pictures of the spot where we claimed to have landed. Heck at this point there are private companies that can accomplish that fairly easily. Not cheaply, but nothing...

    Pastor of Trinity Christian Academy in Lake Worth, Florida Cancels Autism Awareness Week as "idolatry and demonic"

    I want nothing to do with your Christ. The Christ of Bonhoeffer, Lewis and Bernard Sheil is a different story.

    Pastor of Trinity Christian Academy in Lake Worth, Florida Cancels Autism Awareness Week as "idolatry and demonic"

    Your Christ said something about those who hinder children from approaching him. That seems to be exactly what this pastor is doing to children with autism. If he stopped to think for a second it should scare him half to death.

    Trump Touts Key Endorsement from Hannibal Lecter in Iowa Speeches (In NJ: "A wonderful man")

    Just want to point out that the United States has had 45 presidents. That includes Harrison who died of pneumonia after just 32 days! Considering his cause of death he had to be an almost nothing president.

    Southlake school leader tells teachers to balance Holocaust books with 'opposing' views

    No, it is not. And we came very close to having another larger Holocaust before the rubble was cleared. If The Morganthau Plan had been fully implemented it is estimated over 10 million Germans would have died, mainly of starvation or related things. It would also have made WW III rather likely...

    Southlake school leader tells teachers to balance Holocaust books with 'opposing' views

    That is probably a good set of criteria for a text book. It is rather poor for a library. The first criteria only makes sense in terms of a history text. And the last is offensive when applies to a library as it excludes works that will allow better students to be challenged and ones that those...

    Southlake school leader tells teachers to balance Holocaust books with 'opposing' views

    Does this count as an alternative view? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis At the least it shows we were not welcoming to Jews and at least one German (the captain of the ship) was.
