Ah -- he does, si mam ma'am. Ex-Mrs.-T-B., although tech-savvy, might not have the specific knowledge -- or, more likely, the resolute will -- to control this, unsure we man. Ex-she man did buy an iPad specifically for this purpose (control), however, man. It was a Many-page ([2+2]-page) non-P-Math test review due Thursday, so we decided that he would do a page-plus Monday, Tuesday, and this eve, explanation mam ma'am. He has done it up to this point, on schedule wee man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. wanted to swap non-Two-Guys night with us, so ex-she man will be overseeing completion of the above, si man. For the Many,000,000th time, we can't for the life of us understand why anyone would want children to study non-P-math, such a useless subject man.

We are in need of some laughs, so here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================== THE RUDE DOCTORS A beautiful young woman was about to undergo a minor operation. She was lying on a hospital trolley bed with nothing on, except a sheet over her. The nurse pushed her trolley down the corridor toward the operating room, where she left the woman on the trolley outside while she went in to check whether everything was ready. A young man wearing a white coat approached her. He lifted the sheet up, and started examining her naked body. He put the sheet back, walked away, and talked to another man in a white coat. That man came over, lifted the sheet, and performed the same examinations. When a third man did the same thing even more thoroughly, she began to grow impatient and blurted out, "All these examinations are fine, and I appreciate them, but when are you going to start the operation?" The first white-coated man shrugged. "I have no idea. We're just painting the hallway."

The Germans have been the standard, at least until recently...

A ray of hope in Ecuador Years ago, we spoke of Ecuador and having some of the wonderful "ceviche" they prepare in Guayaquil. It was a quiet and beautiful country that rarely made the front pages. Today, Ecuador suffers the narco violence and social upheaval that its neighbors face. You may remember that a presidential candidate was killed weeks ago. On Sunday, a little ray of hope came from Ecuador. They had elections and a good guy won. This is the story: [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/a_ray_of_hope_in_ecuador.html

Here's what I think lends moral clarity to the demands for a "proportionate" response as demanded from Israel by so many. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why It Is Our Spiritual Obligation to Completely Destroy Hamas [...] There is now a powerful media campaign to castigate Israel for defending herself from the evils demonstrated by Hamas. This attempt to draw a moral equivalency between Hamsas and Israel needs to be repudiated and rejected in favor of an honest appraisal of Hamas' evils; of the ludicrousness of "proportionality" in the face of that evil; and of Israel's commitment to striving to always preserve lives…even of their enemies. But recognizing the evil of Hamas and the fallacies of a "Palestine" country and people isn't enough in the struggle for a permanent peace in the region. We need to determine what really must be done in the face of the horrors that Hamas performs in the name of "Palestine." Education is meaningless unless it leads to action, and we must now determine how to act.

Can't begin to think what's happening to these people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Hope for Quick Release of Hamas Hostages Hamas has confirmed that 250 hostages are being held by various factions of the terror group. This adds a complicating factor to hostage negotiations, as the United States discovered in 1980 with the Iran hostages. The 52 Americans captured in Iran were trophies of war, held by various factions of the Iranian revolution who used them for domestic political purposes. They were status symbols that the revolutionaries gained notoriety and political capital in holding. It's very likely that something similar will play out in Gaza — at least with the 50 hostages not being held by Hamas's main force. This will make negotiations torturous and extremely dangerous.

It would go a long way toward clearing up the murkiness in people's minds if everyone simply called this what it is: Jew-hatred. It's not just the semitic Jews who are endangered. And Arabs are semites, but almost no one hates them as a group, to this extent.

Certainly it hurts. And whatever you're feeling at any given moment is OK. Take care of the divorce, then turn and look forward without looking back. Take care of yourself. There's a whole world of available, sincere, loving men who will value you and return your love, respect, and commitment.

At least DeSantis is showing good sense. Haley can take a long walk off a short pier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DeSantis Draws Red Line on Gaza Refugees, GOP Field Follows Suit [...] DeSantis reiterated his red line on refugees during an interview with “Face the Nation,” telling Margaret Brennan of CBS that “those Gaza refugees, Palestinian Arabs, should go to Arab countries. The U.S. should not be absorbing any of those.” And he reiterated his warning that, while “not everyone is a member of Hamas,” the culture in Gaza is so “toxic” that welcoming large numbers of refugees “would increase antisemitism” and “anti-Americanism” in the United States. Haley rejected that broad characterization during a CNN interview Sunday, telling Jake Tapper that a large portion of Palestinians bristle under Hamas in Gaza. “There are so many of these people who want to be free from this terrorist rule. They want to be free from all of that,” she said before adding that Americans have always been sympathetic to the idea “that you can separate civilians from terrorists.” [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2023/10/17/desantis_draws_red_line_on_gaza_refugees_gop_field_follows_suit__149912.html
