  1. The practice among Muslims is that it’s okay to lie to infidels.
  2. If he was a doctor you’d call him a quack, but he’s a politician, so maybe a hack. With reps like Occasional Cortex and Jefferies, it’s possible he’ll be mayor, but somehow I doubt it.
  3. I considered a degree in geography, but there was too much math. And the challenge of getting those maps colored in the right colors was pure horror.
  4. That’s Tampon Tim’s MO. When his National Guard unit was set to deploy, he bailed.
  5. It’s immoral to break laws, besides, you might kill two stones with one bird. Channeling scourge there.
  6. That’s what happens when you break the law: you get arrested, incarcerated, and separated from your family.
  7. Keep in mind, when it comes to farm workers, there are guest worker programs that provide for needed help. This from the Center for Immigration Studies: Notable findings: Of the 474 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers in these occupations. There are no occupations in the United States in which a majority of workers are illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants work mostly in construction, cleaning, maintenance, food service, garment manufacturing, and agricultural occupations. However, the majority of workers even in these areas are either native-born or legal immigrants. Only 4 percent of illegal immigrants and 2 percent of all immigrants do farm work. Immigrants (legal and illegal) do make up a large share of agricultural workers — accounting for half or more of some types of farm laborers — but all agricultural workers together constitute less than 1 percent of the American work force. Many occupations often thought to be worked overwhelmingly by immigrants (legal and illegal) are in fact majority native-born: Maids and housekeepers: 51 percent native-born Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 54 percent native-born Butchers and meat processors: 64 percent native-born Grounds maintenance workers: 66 percent native-born Construction laborers: 65 percent native-born Janitors: 73 percent native-born https://cis.org/Report/There-Are-No-Jobs-Americans-Wont-Do
  8. Globalize the intafada?
  9. Or die trying. Heard yesterday, some conversation of employing trebuchets for deportations. Would citizens pay to pull the pin?
  10. They should pass a law requiring all illegal immigrants to be able to locate iran on a globe.
  11. No credit for that, transaction fees should be paid from the funds. They shouldn’t have gotten anything, certainly not pallets of cash, until and unless they straightened out their banking issues. But O’Bama wanted them to have the money and he wanted to be the one to give it to them.
  12. Could be, but instead of built into a mountain, it’s now buried under one. Inaccessible.
  13. The site is out of service, the centrifuges and any fissile material is inaccessible. If Iran excavates half a mountain to get to what’s left, we can hit them again with less obstruction.
  14. What made it tricky was having to make the transaction in foreign currency (cash) due to restrictions on normal banking procedures.
  15. Some need to work on their comprehension skills.
  16. It does seem a little unfair.
  17. A visit to the portajohn with some greatwhitenorthern might be in order.
  18. Hopefully this means the hostages in Gaza will be released.
