A vacuous post. You can laugh all you want. What you can't do is provide anything supporting a stupid suggestion.

Hamas is a moving group of thugs. The US has no capability to track them, and no asset in the region to conduct a precision strike within the minutes it would take to respond. It's like bombing neighborhood punks that run around in SUV's. The IDF has that capability. We do not.

I asked how old you are because it seems you have no knowledge of this stuff. The US has no idea how to target Hamas, as they are inside a civilian population in Gaza, and we have no intel there. They have no interest in doing so, and you have never given a motive. It is preposterous to suggest we would do such a thing, thus my assertion of your naivete.

I quite enjoy being told I'm wrong. "The market is unconvinced." Mentioned it at $25 in Feb. of this year. It is now $135. Ya......Unconvinced.

Could you inform us of how old you are? I am suspicious. Not only is the US not going to "bomb Hamas," such an action would be unnecessary, unproductive and foolish. How do people come up with these ideas?

Again, and again and again. That is not a claim I have ever made. So habitual here.

Maybe you don't understand this. The US gov takes revenue from taxes and pays for this in many programs. That money is coming from wage earners. Is that unclear?

I'm pretty sure his family would confirm it. But...Great strategy. Don't like the truth, which is quite verifiable, at least in the civilized world, claim it is a lie becasue, well, just because.

You have done what is so often done here, and is completely misrepresenting not only what I said, but forming a false conclusion based on your misrepresentation. Happens every day here, all the time. I never said that "100 people were killed." I have no idea, and the idiocy of believing numbers that come from there is it's own fantasy realm. I never said "no innocent people killed." I have no idea. What I said was that Hamas assassinated an Israeli reservist who was doing nothing other than excavating. That isn't all that was done by this group breaking the cease fire. You can do your own research. Israel responded. People got killed. You do this stuff and you should expect a response. When the people of Gaza stop putting up with this, you won't see a peep from the Israelis. If you don't stop them, you will.

I'm quite certain you don't understand the scope of this issue. The child is the anchor that leads to a number of other people living off tax payer provide benefits. If that isn't "taking anything away from you," neither you nor your family pays taxes.

Did you miss the fact that the strikes were in response to a murder? Master Sgt. (res.) Yona Efraim Feldbaum, a reservist excavator. killed by Hamas sniper fire.

That viewpoint is honorable, but extends the problem. The solution is to stop the US being a safety valve so that these folks don't have to fix problems in their own country. The first thing we should do is deny citizenship to any child born in the US under a false visa application or to an individual whi is in violation of their visa date of expiration. We don't do any of that, thus the industry.

That is exactly how it works. For about ten years I would go to South America for work, once per week. We always arrived back at about 7AM in Miami along with many other flights from the region. We would constantly see pregnant women entering with proper visas at Immigration. You get to Know some of the Immigration guys doing this so often and they would often lament on the scores of people who did this, including violating their visitors visas to stay in until the child was born. They would often say "She's never leaving," as one of these would walk by or be in an adjoining line. People who don't travel for a living to that region have no idea what a formal industry this is.

The only reason Hamas exists is to wage war with Israel. They are funded, trained and supported in every way by Iran. Their raison d'etre is to wage war and kill Israelis. They have no other purpose. Peace isn't part part of that.

That is the last thing Hamas wants.

Maybe the FAA should be privatized, and get it away from this failing gov budget "system." It was a good idea fifteen years ago, and is only more apparent now.

Jamaica gets threatened by hurricanes often. Ivan barely missed it in 2004. I remember looking at it on radar and suggesting to the FO that Jamaica wouldn't be the same tomorrow. Ivan suddenly turned due west, but they suffered significant damage.

That's my old airwing, The F-18 is from our sister squadron, VFA 22. Glad everyone was recovered safely.

One of the things I've noticed over many visits to various places there on business is how poorly the airport at Kingston is set up to withstand high waves. The Intl. airport is south of the land mass, and there is a lengthy causeway you must drive over to get there. When I was travelling there, there was no effective breakwater to protect this long roadway, and I remember thinking that if they ever had a close hit from a hurricane there would be no way to protect the airport or use it for relief efforts. We'll see.

I think she's the dumbest, non convicted, public servant ever. There is nobody who thinks was was talking about the current administration in her book, which she now falsely claims. Nobody. She is one of a group of fools who served in Biden's group.

She is a complete moron. On her book tour, she is now claiming that her book, "Independent, A look inside a broken white house" is now about the Trump Admin. Total lie. She has no "inside look" at the Trump Admin.

See a pattern here? Obama selected Joe Biden. Dumber. Biden selected Kamala. Really dumb. Kamala selected Timmy. Really dumber. Seems like a pattern to me for the Dems. Select a running mate who is dumber than you beyond doubt. Late edit. I think Shapiro wasn't at all interested in hitching his wagon to her.

I haven't forgotten. Both were terrible choices. Neither was as bad as Timmy.

It appears that it is really important to you to label posters in an attempt to marginalize them. Forget about facts. Forget about the accuracy of claims here. It is simply about labeling. I would be happy if JD Vance replaced Trump tomorrow, and I can name a few others. But I am more pleased that we don't live under the lunacy of a brain dead president, or his beyond brain dead VP, nor the Gov of Minnesota, who is the biggest goof I have ever seen run for national office. That view, in no way, makes me "MAGA," nor have I ever voted that way.

From a huge amount of personal experience, their grass fed beef is very, very good. Recently, you could not be guaranteed it was grass fed, but the stuff that is is exceptional. Uruguay, on the other hand, always serves it.
