“Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing and life does not.” Neil Gaiman
“For some time I have never said what I believed, and never believed what I said and if I do sometimes happen to say what I think. I always hide it among so many lies that it is hard to recover it.” Niccolo Machiavelli
“There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.” – Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
“I am neither Hawk nor Dove, rather, an owl who hopes to watch, to learn, to be wise.” -U.S. Army General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

“The first principle is that the ultimate substance of enemy strength must be traced back to the fewest possible sources, and ideally to one alone. The attack on the sources must be compressed into the fewest possible actions…. “-Carl von Clausewitz, On War.
“I hope that in the next century we will come to terms with our abysmal ignorance of the Muslim world. Muslims aren’t a bunch of wackos and nuts. They are decent, brilliant, talented people with a great civilization and traditions of their own, including legal traditions. Americans know nothing about them. There are people in that part of the world with who we are simply out of touch. That’s a great challenge for the next century.” –US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
“As much as when you see a blond with great tits and a great ass, you say to yourself, ‘Hey, she must be stupid or have something else to offer,’ which maybe is the case at times. But then again there is the one that is as smart as her breasts look, great as her face looks, beautiful as her whole body looks gorgeous, you know, so people are shocked.” Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor and former Governor of California.

“We ask for miracles in regard to the Supreme Court. One Justice is eighty-three years old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire?” -Pat Robertson, evangelist, host of “The 700 Club”, and 1988 presidential candidate, launching a “prayer offensive” to remove liberal Supreme Court Justices

Trump/Pence 2016

October 5, 2016 at 1:44 pmInteresting article. The more I know about Trump the more he scares me. Luckily he has alienated too many people (women, Hispanics etc) to ever be President. All he cares about is money and power and anyone who thinks he will improve their lives is sadly deluded.
BTW he never wrote The Art of the Deal. It was entirely ghost written with all the unflattering bits left out. Kissinger is a war criminal – that Trump is asking for his advice is diabolical.
I am not a Killary fan either. It's a pity that the first female President is not more impressive than her, but beggars can't be choosers.
