Psaki says Harris faces more criticism because she is a woman and woman of color

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  16 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  3 years ago

“She is the first African American woman, woman of color, Indian American woman to serve in this job. Woman. I mean, so many firsts, right?”

When things look bad, play the Race Card.  Using race and gender to push political buttons has a name; it's called 'tokenism'.  'Tokenism' is symptomatic of systemic racism.  By using race, ethnicity, and gender to check off the boxes on a political score card, the Biden administration has...

Does modern cosmology prove the existence of God?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  434 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  3 years ago

“The Kalam cosmological argument asserts that everything that exists has a cause, and what caused the Universe? It's got to be God.”

Science hubris is being presented as science literacy.  The simple fact is our physics does not work without spacetime.  Our physics always resolves to infinity because spacetime is prerequisite for our physics to work.  The constraint of spacetime means our physics cannot describe, explain,...

Ford's Latest Electric Truck is…a 1978 F-100?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  18 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  3 years ago

“That future's going to be filled with some surprising e-sleepers.”

Gee, an electric truck that actually looks like a truck.  Ford isn't bringing back the F-100 of the 1970s.  This is really an aftermarket conversion kit being offered by Ford.

Tax strategy of the rich, backdoor Roth survives in latest Democrat plan

“Until we actually have a law, we can't be sure what's going to be in it”

Way to stick it to the rich.  Let's go, Brandon! Don't be surprised if a repeal of the limit on SALT deductions is buried in Build Back Better, too.  It's one thing to not bite the hand that feeds you but kissing their backside seems a bit much.

'They're probably going to put us back in power': GOP basks in Dem discord

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  27 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  3 years ago

“There's an old saying: ‘When your enemy is trying to commit suicide, never get between him and the gun.’”

So?  It's still a circus no matter if the clown car is red or blue. According to Gallup polling 29 pct of voters identify as Republican, 29 pct of voters identify as Democrat, and 41 pct of voters don't give a crap.    Neither party has enough support any longer to do more than run a third rate...

Cheer Up, Liberals. You Have the America You Wanted.

“In all these ways and more, America in 2021 is the country that liberals in the Bush era wished they lived in: more liberal and permissive across...”

Yes, we're living the liberal's vision for America.  There's no denying that the United States is more diverse, less inhibited, more permissive, more socially aware and connected, less parochial, and more focused on humanist hegemony than the country was a mere 20 years ago. So, why the liberal...

Biden claims the US is 'not at war,' despite combat deployments to Iraq and Syria, and counter-terror missions in Africa

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  15 Comments  •  1 Like  •  3 years ago

“Biden's claims that the US is no longer war is belied by continued American deployments to the Middle East and counter-terrorism missions in Africa.”

Joe Biden definitely wants to turn the page on Afghanistan.  But Biden's claim that United States is not at war is too nuanced to be honest.  Biden doesn't want us to read the footnotes at the bottom of that page.  We still have as many troops deployed to Iraq as we had in Afghanistan.  And the...

Psaki defends not allowing charter flights from Afghanistan to land at US bases

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  12 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  3 years ago

“White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday during a briefing that President Biden's administration is "not going to allow" charter...”

Now border security is important?  We've been allowing hundreds of thousands of unvetted migrants across our southern border for years.  But charter flights of hundreds of unvetted Afghans landing on military bases pose too great a risk?  The Biden administration just doesn't want another...

Democrats stare down nightmare September

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  4 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  3 years ago

“Democrats are staring down a nightmare September, a month jam-packed with deadlines and bruising fights over their top priorities.”

Democrats and the unbiased liberal media are going to be turning up that old Maytag to ultra-high spin.  It's one Democrat disaster after another.  And Democrats did all of this to themselves. Obviously there hasn't been any Democrat plan from the git go.  With the Afghanistan debacle,...

Afghanistan: Russia faces its own risks and uncertainty

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  1 Like  •  3 years ago

“Regional instability, refugee flows, extremism, and zero appetite for warfare temper Russia's stance on Afghanistan.”

While everyone is focusing attention on China, they're ignoring the other major player with an interest in Afghanistan.  Russia has a vital interest in maintaining stability in Central Asia.  That's why Russia had a military presence in Afghanistan during the 1980s.  Afghanistan poses a threat...
