It worked yesterday evening. Now it's been disappeared. Thanks for the info. I linked to their front page instead.

To say that your writing has purpose is an understatement....To share some 'it would be funny if it weren't so tragic commentary' I heard this week from Alex Christoforou....on the rumored subject of Jim Carrey being the supposed stand-in for Genocide Joe....(i.e.,The President Biden often seen walking to his presidential helo/standing with Hunter is just too quick or too tall, etc.)...But that begs the question....so the US is sending another carrier (+/-) to the Med....Who's Netanyahu talking to/running the show/making the decisions?? Is it Hunter, or Jill or Jim Carrey or someone else??!!

But on the more serious side, I read lots of meaty commentary through the Moon of Alabama website with many links to other than Western sources, some with military/diplomatic experience....Seems Iran is under Russia's nuclear umbrella and Russia has/is already sending heavy equipment thereto...And most sources believe they have to act - question is, what would be the US response...again begging the above question...Though I am accused by some of being a pessimist, I feel like as Patrick Lawrence argues that one has to define the problem before one can solve it...Stay safe everyone!

There's really not much the US can do to Iran that it hasn't done already. A military conflict with them would be disastrous, and the Pentagon knows it.

If you read MoA, perhaps you read about the war game they played a few years ago about an attack on Iran. Two aircraft carriers got sunk the first day, dozens of aircraft shot down, so they do know better than to try it.

World unity, ya'll ... the world is collectively protesting, with some killed more overtly than others. Somehow, when reliably sourced news makes it to my inbox, this gives me a warm feeling, and I realize you are part of that moment... My moment of shame is realizing that I can't push Lindsay Graham out in a lawn chair to see him washed away when Debby does South Carolina.

Great description of the Camel. I simply don’t understand the automatic—like immediate—drooling over her by Democrats once she was shoved down our throats.There was no critical thinking or looking at her record at all.The old “I’m With Her” memes got trotted out again.Where did the brains of Democrats go?

I'm going to call them Democults until they stop acting like they are in some televangelist grifter TV preacher cult, which is exactly how they are acting. Every accusation they hurl at ANYONE else is a confession.

Great writing as usual. However, a clarification is required: the deadly knife attack on the 3 children in the UK occurred in Southport and not Sunderland. Both of these locations along with several other northern towns and cities, were subsequently places for premeditated race riots by fascist/white supremacy groups.

Thank you. I would think the British media would get the name of the town right, but I guess not. Of course, they do the same thing all the time in the US, and their maps are frequently WAY off, like placing San Antonio right on the Mexican border.

I don't get it. It seems the very basics of journalism have been forgotten.

UK media is dominated by privately educated, London-centric defenders of the power and wealth status quo. They haven't got a clue about the country beyond the M25 motorway encircling Greater London.

Ah. Sounds just like our corporate media for whom only DC and New York City matter.
