It's very rare to come across a Straight News story, reported without slant, bias or commentary. If we are to understand current events with any clarity, we are obliged to study several sources of news for nearly every event. Those who find this too burdensome need to keep their underdeveloped opinions to themselves.
In the course of human history, there has persisted a tendency to war among men. The US is an example of the finest and most successful attempt at self governance that has ever existed. It is a high honor to serve in the protection of freedom. Military members engaged in such service, defend the value of life.
President Trump is racist only in the frenzied minds of liberals. Their biggest tactic is to call people disparaging names, in futile attempts to discredit. While he makes America Great Again, they search for any utterance that can be seized upon to distract from obvious success that is taking place in the job market, in the stock market, in the housing market, in energy independence and a huge groundswell of optimism that is proving his promise's to be true.
All you seem to have is calling me names and this!
Your first link: simply an opinion of a guy who was not there.
In the 48 years since, many others have joined the fray: some echoing Alperovitz and denouncing the bombings, others rejoining hotly that the bombings were moral, necessary, and life-saving.
Your second link: A Japanese guy claims that the A bombs wasn't necessary. 😕 Hmmmmmmm -- No shit
Hasegawa - who was born in Japan and has taught in the United States since 1990, and who reads English, Japanese, and Russian - rejects both the traditional and revisionist positions. According to his close examination of the evidence, Japan was not poised to surrender before Hiroshima, as the revisionists argued, nor was it ready to give in immediately after the atomic bomb.
Get some history

With 2,000,000 Japanese troops on the home island of Japan, clearly the losses on Okinawa were accurately predictive to US military leaders. Hirohito surrendered to MacArthur not Stalin. Daaaaaa
The man who pissed of a nation of patriotic Americans, cost the NFL tens of millions, and now admits he'd reverse his stand if someone - anyone would again pay him millions to play football.
Yet the true cowards are the NFL team owners, who spinelessly give in to their own multimillionaire employees and at the same time won't give poor old Kaepernick a job.
Truly amazing.
Religions reflect the culture of the societies that use them. Western society has evolved it's culture over the past sixteen centuries to reject certain beliefs and practices. Human rights have become a powerful determinant in what is considered acceptable. The religion western culture uses has also changed to remain relevant. Middle eastern culture has not kept pace with western culture in terms of human rights. Western ideas about human rights are beginning to be adopted by middle eastern cultures. Consequently the religion used by middle eastern culture has only now begun the process of change. There are two Islams today. In a couple more centuries, if middle eastern culture continues to evolve, Islam will change change to remain relevant, just as Christianity has done.
Culture is the driving force behind religions. If you find Islam to be repugnant, remember it's the culture that needs to change first. Be patient, recalling that human rights is a still evolving element in western culture as well.
War is an extremely brutal, last resort option for Americans. There really is good and evil in the world. The people of Iraq no longer live under a ruthless dictatorship. The people of Kuwait still have a country. The people of the Pacific Rim do not live under the iron fist of Japan. The countries of Europe are not now oppressed by a Nazi dictator. Freedom and self rule are alive in the world today because of the American Constitution. Put some facts into your twisted perspective and make it better.
I'm a retired "factory worker" one of millions across this nation who had careers in manufacturing and are now enjoying a standard of living that is the American dream. Your assessment of our lives and well being demonstrates a complete ignorance of fact.
It's considered to be an important step in the march toward Utopia, that we first be disarmed. Considering the history of our culture surrounding guns, it's not happening.
Americans, those who regard history as a guide, understand that weapons are part of freedom. We do not live in a mythical world where everyone is nice.
Well ---------- sadly, they can't defend liberalism all that well, so they kinda have nothing to go with except "attack the speaker". "Your racist"
😠
Most often they can't provide a connection to racism or any other ism, when challenged. Challenge them and have some fun.
Wilson is a genius compared to the voters who sent her to Washington. She is your standard liberal parrot, mouthing the same tired insults that all liberals use when confronted with reality. "Your a sexist, your a raciest, you don't care about people. Bla Bla Bla.
Never having studied much Plato, I'm not familiar with "empty barrels" but she seems more like an empty hat, if you ask me.
Google this hermaphrodite
These abnormalities exist and are excepted by medical science.

There is a faction of the American political left that are communists. They no longer admit to their communist beliefs, but now hide among the ranks of a faction called Progressives. Their aim is the undoing of democracy. Their tactic is civil unrest, promoting violence with the aim of bringing about chaos. They are seen at every major incident involving political violence and social unrest. They are not the "red scare", they are the enemy.
It's funny the concept of goodness to mankind without God. In all their so called goodness, they have made it legal to kill viable babies for any reason up to birth.
Actually FW, I and millions like me don't need a god to tell us that murdering babies is abhorrent by it's nature. So explain that fact. Nor do millions of people in the US today who give aid and comfort to victims of natural disasters, need a god to tell them to do so. Human kindness is just that, HUMAN.
Don't get me wrong, I respect the millions across the world who draw strength and solace from their belief in a god. They are NOT my enemy, but rather my fellow man.
Conservatives simultaneously depend on a mental illness (i.e. Christianity) in order to get any votes at all.
Judging from the election results last November, it would seem that more Americans want a chance to work, than another handout. So much for liberal coddling.
In American society, victim hood is the business and full time vocation of men like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. Leading the blackman to wallow in perpetual dependence on government handouts. We have a population of Nigerians as well as Muslims and even gypsies. Their numbers do not yet allow them to wield much power.
From a political perspective, liberals coddle the minorities to garner their votes.
Here's the thing FW
If there is a creator of all things, it's kinda far fetched to imagine that someone who created the entire universe, could possibly be inclined to need and demand that tiny insignificant creators like us should worship them or burn in hell for eternity.
Not very believable.
Hi Bront:
Your definition seems a little off the mark. While science is in fact an organized methodology used to study something, in this context the use of the term is broadly understood to refer to the body of knowledge science has generated rather than the methodology. As a body of knowledge, science can often be counter to religious beliefs. We are pitting accepted knowledge against accepted doctrine. This is a completely valid comparison.
Or so it seems to me.
Hi E:
I'm not so sure that argument is actually valid. The rich person spends many times the amount the poor spends. The rich then, pay many times more taxes than the poor in real dollars, just like now. Comparing taxes paid, as percent of income distorts the picture by making it seem that the poor pay more, when the opposite is actually true. Soooooooooooo
Obama had at least three distinct styles of speaking. He could lecture with a high tone vocabulary, he could also use a distinctly smaller vocabulary when speaking to a black audience. Then his everyday manner of speaking which was common conversational containing an everyday vocabulary.
In the same way Trump is able to tailor his style of speaking to the audience. There is little to suggest any impairment from these facts.
There has been an unfortunate choice in using the word code to describe DNA sequences. A more appropriate choice might be "Sample Arrangement". Complexity is not dependent on intelligent design. Everything in our universe, taken as a whole may seem complex, yet it's all created from hydrogen and gravity. Given limitless time, gravity stirs the soup to make more and more complex atoms. Simple processes do result in complexity. There is little logic or reason in believing that an entity capable of creating the universe, would somehow require the worship of tiny, short lived creatures on one infinitesimal speck of dust floating in an undistinguished galaxy among trillions in just the visible universe alone. The complexity and infinite variance among snowflakes needs no guidance, simply cause and effect.
YES For example see the healthcare bill debate. Focused entirely on the question of how to pay for healthcare while completely ignoring the root cause of the problem. All efforts are directed at the cost of health insurance. No one is asking why it cost so much to see a doctor, or to spend a night in a hospital, or to purchase a medicine.
Another example of miss guided effort can be found in the "social justice" movement demanding higher pay , just because min wage is not enough to live on. Employers are compelled to pay $15.00 per hour for an unskilled worker, while thousands of employers are unable to even find the skilled workers they need at any price. The focus is to artificially increase the earnings of employees with no increase in their value to the business.
There are two main groups claiming liberalism.
1) The individuals who want to turn the US into a socialist Utopia.
2) The old school liberals who are unaware they have been hijacked.
The first category of liberals have used government handouts to create a dependent class who will vote to keep their free stuff, thus insuring that the liberals remain in power.
The latter category are simply fools who believe they are helping, but are actually enabling the socialist's agenda.
The individual in the video, like millions of patriotic Americans, has awoken to the truth.
YES Journalism carries a deep and fundamental responsibility. Truth is paramount in importance. ANY bias or hint of bias effecting the truth of what's reported completely negates the purpose of a "free press". Important political events, when reported as news MUST ALWAYS be reported without bias.
News Commentary must always be clearly distinguished from factual news.
This hardly happens anywhere in our current media.😕
Nope that's not it at all. Time is not an absolute. Synchronize two atomic clocks on the surface of the Earth. Then put one in orbit around the Earth for an earth week. Return the orbiting clock to the surface and note that it will be measurably behind the clock that remained on the surface of the Earth. Gravity and relative speed between the two atomic clocks will appear to slow time.
If "Sharia Support" includes failure to comply with any host nation's laws or legal system, it is fair to judge such supporter, not as immigrant but rather invader. Such individual immigrant is not simply expressing opinion, but also failing to accept the laws of the host nation.
The "Fake News" media will stay on the Russian probe until something new gets invented to use in their "Never Trump" battle. There will be no mention of Democratic plans to create jobs, or to protect us from Mexican drug gangs, or to combat terrorism, or to fix you broken healthcare system. Simply the worn out vague promises of the past. Get Real Dudes
Yes, and Still with no clue what their core problem is!!
It's astounding when supposedly clever people fail to see the obvious cause of their defeat. The failed progressive agenda was been rejected in election after election, in state after state, year after year since 2012. Yet they doggedly cling to socialism while it drags them into oblivion. -------- Weird 😏
The larger the group we form, the more freedoms we sacrifice to the group. There is a limit and a balance point between liberty and the protections of the group. People want both freedom and protection. For this reason there will never be a total world government.
Hard to understand the panic on the left over this agreement. The effect of full implementation will bring about a 0.2 ° change on global temperatures by the year 2100. In a word negligible! So what does the panic actually stem from? Perhaps money - America dollars.
Investigations uncover facts.
Here is a fact: Obama began an investigation into Russian hacking nearly one year ago. NO facts nor any evidence has been uncovered.
Here is another fact: Since the election, Obama began another investigation into Trump-Russia connections. Again NO facts were uncovered.
Further investigations are a waste of time, resources and focus.
Who is apposed to making America great again?
Today millions of people are migrating from the Midwest to the South, which is exactly the opposite of one hundred years ago. People have, are and will move for jobs. Those able-bodied who chose to stay, do so partly because the government support makes it possible.
A quick look at history will show the extent to which president Roosevelt shared secret Intel with great Britain and saved the world from Hitler.
Seeking alliances often involve Intel sharing. There remains no reason for Trump to share Intel, other than seeking an alliance against ISIS.
Get a clue.
You can pay over here through your salary for various health coverage plans which gets more expensive by the year ; to pay into a plan is optional those who don't through unemployment etc,etc use government services and are covered by the tax payer .
This rather charitable notion seems reasonable only when you eliminate those who choose to "Game The System". Millions of people choose to have the government support their needs, rather than support themselves.

Of course it's a privilege to be earned whenever possible. God did not give us a right to a job, nor a car, nor a place to live or even to food.
Yes. For example cock fighting, as well as dog fighting are illegal in most if not all states. Most would agree that needlessly torturing an animal is wrong.
So it would seem that we believe animals in fact, do have a right to be treated with a measure of respect.

There are a great many pieces since December of last year. Get the real story from US sources.
Who has bought Trump?
Once again At Rag, whatever that is?
You butt into our affairs with little to no understanding of the laws of our land. Trump HAS in fact divested his business. Further there is NO legal requirement for US Presidents to divest their personal interest in business.
So Rag on with your lefty rant, but know that the facts do NOT support your pointless and powerless claim.
Globalists everywhere are cowering before the man they cannot buy. 😋
Domestically, Obama widened the gap between Democrats & Republicans, and failed to support our police, then eroding the mistrust between races and still had time to ridicule people with different policy or political views than his own.
Internationally Obama has shown only weakness and indecision.
He has successfully evoked both fear in our allies, and laughter from our enemies.
In short Obama made the world worse for everyone.
Perhaps I can help. You are correct in saying that children and young teenagers are physically capable of screwing. The major negative experience being PREGNANCY. These young people are quite able to produce a baby, however, they are not at all able to care for and raise a child. It is almost certain that they do not have jobs that provide food and shelter for a baby. This fact lies at the root of the myriad challenges both financial and emotional, which face anyone raising a child.
Liberals are screaming Illegitimate:
Last time I checked these assholes were liberals.
Putin: Never-mind that zero evidence has come to light that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Further no one is claiming that the Russians influenced the outcome of the election. But apart from that of course your absolutely correct ------ Oh wait ----- NOT 😂
Sitar, I agree with you, but would have to include rape and incest.
Liberals want us to forget that abortion involves killing babies. They want to refer to it as a "woman's right to choose what she can do with her own body".
Which of course makes no sense at all, because while pregnant she is sharing her body with a baby. Daaaaaaa 😂
The Devil being subversive communist bastardos 😱
This fact is strangely unknown to most liberals.
Swallowing the line that communists have been using since to 60s. EQUALITY -----------
While all people are equally deserving of human dignity, clearly the potential for success varies greatly among individuals.
You miss the lesson history has shown us.
"All that means is that communism must be preceded by something else".
WRONG AGAIN
All that means is that communism must be supported by something else.
Hence the repeated and continuing failures. Daaaaaaa 😂
Stupid or not she was an avowed eugenicist. Abortion was her weapon of choice? Purification was her aim.
Note that today the overwhelming majority of PP clients can be described her own words:
"On blacks, immigrants and indigents:
"...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people".
"On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)"
"On the extermination of blacks:
"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," she said, "if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon"
Strange that you don't know the facts about communism. There are currently 5 failing communist countries, and 15 previously failed communist countries.

Communism is an idealistic fantasy, that has NEVER succeeded. While capitalism has lifted the standard of living higher and for millions more people than ANY other system EVER. Those are the facts.
I reject your assertion that conservatives are on the loosing side. Full blown Communism is so repugnant to lovers of freedom, that the subversive commie bastards hiding in the liberals tent won't come into the light until we have first collapsed into chaos. If they show their face today, they would be finished.
As to which is stronger, which is more powerful and which is the likely winner, look to this. Free democratic markets and the wealth they create, can exist without socialism or communism to support them. While socialism and communism can not exist without the wealth that free markets produce.
Sounds to me like we are identifying the same enemy and expressing in different ways, their plan to bring us down. Removing resistance is a tactic used to accomplish their goal of replacing our society/government with a communist state. But anyway we seem to see the same threat and that's the important thing. 😋
Ever hear if a bitch named Margret Sanger
That's all you need to know about PP.
Our society/government has to collapse before the progressives can unmask. Communism has been rejected in this country. Their only path to taking over our nation is from within. They are pushing socialistic programs, ideas and policies, which weaken our economy. Their aim is to put us in so much debt, and divide us so deeply that our government ceases to function.
Sounds familiar don't it.
