I've never been a supporter of any of those alphabet groups or my own government to a large extent, simply because I've seen their dirt over the years. I trust the dufus even less...far less than I do anyone else. Him and his mindless sycophants. You don't have to be a winger to be suspicious though, and it's without malice or bad intent I throw you in that camp occasionally, and cannot say I didn't sound more like you at that age than I care to admit. The dufus has corrupted my government in more ways and more deeply than the Nixon's and Reagan's and Bush's ever could. That does include the dem presidents between them too, least I be accused of selective blame.

I really can't say what's going on that I know nothing about, but the stuff I do know of is disgustingly despicable for real.

An overview of Whitley Strieber, and his works.

Lived in China 6 years, and Japan 2 years, just been back a couple of years.
I taught International Law there.

Before that I was in Laos for 2 years.

So 10 years living in Asia.

Talaniman: Whitely Strieber seems a little eccentric but some of the most interesting people I have ever know could also be called eccentric, too. The guy apparently takes some
liberties" with the truth but he also must be one great storyteller as drawn inference from his resume.

I think a healthy dose of skepticism about Government ventures and entities is HEALTHY! Glad you feel the same.

And, I HOPE you are dead wrong about Trump. I really do: Our country doesn't need bad...we need good.....and we have to have leadership that can show the way. I WANT THE DEVISIVENESS TO GO AWAY! We need to come together and stop being two camps ON EVERYTHING! We can find common ground.

Trump isn't your man

We agree on that Clete.

Well Tal let us agree on something else, it has begun to rain so really a new day

You pick the peeve Clete. Unless of course you get to much rain and seek higher ground. Be prepared and invest in a boat!

With coronavirus about it is not cruising weather as a number of my countrymen found out, stuck on a cruise ship is not the place to be, whether it's novovirus or coronavirus

Forget the cruise ship, I ain't got that many friends. I was thinking the cheap seat special on a freaking plane.

well there is some good news, the rate of infection appears to be falling

good news out out Iran

tomder55: LOVE IT! GREAT NEWS! ONE LESS! AND, with any luck at all, the entire Turban Gang will get a dose of this stuff: Killing evil one demon at a time! Who said there wasn't a silver lining in this virus! And the Iranians call the U.S. "THE GREAT SATAN"? I think after this stuff gets going good, they will be looking toward RED CHINA as the "NEW GREAT SATAN"!

Be careful what you wish for. In many ways the Iranians might be right, since the devil comes in many forms.

Paraclete: If the Iranians re-aim their "Great Satan" chants at RED CHINA, yes, yes indeed, they may be onto something RIGHT, for a change!

that travel ban that everyone thought was racist appears to have been prophetic . Now we need to complete the wall

Too late, should have done it already

The travel ban was racists and has nothing to do with the virus spreading here. A wall doesn't stop germs either, or people who can build ladders rather cheaply. What we need are beds and health care workers to get through this no matter how many get infected until science has a vacine. Above all a faster diagnosis from the start and more of it, and stop sending politicos to explain and update the public. That's a doctors job, and can't believe they haven't figured that out yet.

Like the markets people want facts and CERTAINTY! Give it to us!

what you need is not to panic
