I found this new concept of combining stoicism and machiavellism.Stoicism is a lot about self control and detachment.Machiavellism is about getting results.But in many cases, self control and detachment bring results, hence the stoic Prince (combination of Machiavellism and stoicism).The problem for

I live in Georgia where there is a bitter campaign for governor happening, the negative campaign commercials among Republicans running in the primary are common and intense. If you go by the commercials, there is only one issue at stake, Gender Reassignment Surgery for Minors. The three primary re

Its funny to think about. No matter what trump does, his core base will say hes exactly right. He could have done the exact opposite thing to what they think hes exactly right about, and either way, they'll think he's exactly right. I dont think his core base has enough awareness to know they do tha

Did someone somewhere with actual combat experience ever say that "air superiority" meant that no losses in arial combat would ever be sustained?If you believe that, you have no such experience, nor have ever been close to it. You're completely hoodwinked by typical radical media, or lol-professiona

Article I of the U.S. Constitution outlines, in section 8, the 17 specific, and 1 generic modifiable principles of the unique American democratic republic operation.

Democrats have complained for many years that Trump is a threat to American democracy, swelling to a mantra that assured the failure of their attempt to replace him in 2024 with a candidate whose 2020 campaignquit before the 2020 primary season, let alone the year, itself, ever began. It was a great

The simple answer to both questions is: No.Why? Neither the US, nor Iran, are member states of the ICC, so attempting a trial in the International Court is fraught with legal entanglements that are not likely achievable. That's the bottom line regardless of your TDS, alleging illegality. Y'all can p

The way I see it is they have no legal right that America must recognize and morally when someone is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world and wants your country to die they have no moral right that anyone else need recognize either.
