Probably closer than the pope could get to being accurate.

You sound jealous. Did you catch your wife/boyfriend diddling themselves to his picture? Or did he/she call you Pete in the throws of passion?


He may be jealous, but he ain't wrong. Pete is a try-hard, intensely focused on his personal brand.

And all of the things cited in that tweet are appropriate.

The Pope has a history of leftist statements, is ignoring crimes against civilians in Iran and around the border, just curiously met with an Obama henchmen, and has emerged from that meeting uttering weak and ineffectual platitudes. The Pope has a right to opinions, but his goal should always be towards preserving the sanctity of the Church and ensuring it is well positioned to serve its members in their efforts towards salvation. If Vance is reminding him of that, good. Because his statements suggest he is not focused on his job as steward of the Church.

Carney knows a lot about economics, but is a leftist WEF stooge working against the public good for his WEF buddies.

RFK Jr is not so much lecturing about scientific theories as he is lecturing about the ethical use of vaccines, and against big pharma pushing for their unethical use in their lust for profits. Do you want to argue that big pharma doesn't bury successful treatments if promoting such treatments hurt their bottom line and their lobbying power?

I explained Hegseth already.

Your tweet-- and you-- are 0 for 4.

Edit to add: I accidentally skipped the 5th point in the tweet: that Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs. This, too, is wrong on many levels. "Lectures" implies he's just talking about tariffs when he is, in fact, employing them against various countries (or deplying or imposing if you prefer). He's not just lecturing. Further, he is doing so in response to the long standing practice of other countries imposing them against the US. When other countries negotiate tariffs down, so does he.

So, you're 0 for 5 on making a relevant retort now.

One thing is for certain, it was not original to Pulp Fiction.
IIRC Tarantino got it from a Japanese movie maker who got it from blended Marine prayers in the WWII Pacific theater.

The world would do well to listen.

For example, you don't know what the Triffin Dilemma is. Nor do most of the TDS (tariff deranged) crowd.

They whine and cry, "Tariffs aren't fair! Waaah! Waaah!" .... Neither is it fair that the tendency of a Reserve Currency is to drive trade deficits, and eventually do secondary damage to the host country's domestic economy. Tariffs, at the least, level that field.

On second thought, I doubt a speechwriter had much to do with that.
quote:

Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction. However, both the CSAR prayer and the dialogue in Pulp Fiction were reflections of the verse Ezekiel 25:17, as Secretary Hegseth clearly said in his remarks at the prayer service. Anyone saying the Secretary misquoted Ezekiel 25:17 is peddling fake news and ignorant of reality.

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

HEGSETH: Which leads me finally to a prayer that I'll read, which was also handed to me a couple of days ago, delivered from the lead mission planner of Sandy-1. Sandy-1 were the A-10s that were a part of the daylight rescue mission of 44 Alpha - Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran. And if you know anything about Sandies, their job is to bring those A-10s and put them in between the enemy and that down pilot. And so their job is to literally sacrifice themselves for someone else, and in Iran and contested territory, that's exactly what they did. So it's this prayer was recited by Sandy-1, which is one of the Sandies, to all Sandies, all those A-10 crews prior to all CSAR missions, but especially this CSAR mission that happened in real time. They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. So the prayer is CSAR 25:17 and it reads and pray with me please: "The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children, and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy-1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and Amen."

I'm being sincere when I say this:

1) Scientists / experts who study the brain estimate that the average person thinks anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands of thoughts per day and a disproportionate number... something like 70%... are negative thoughts. Sadly, it should not be surprising to see complaints on a message board outweighing good posts. This is the case on nearly every board I've been on. Despite that, I find this board has several thoughtful posters (that I don't always agree with) who have interesting opinions and insights. To me, it's worth sifting past negative posts to find the good ones.

2) Taking you at face value / assuming you might be sincere, and not wanting to discourage you if you have positive contributions to make here, I clicked on your name to look at your post history. All 20 or 21 of your most recent posts that display are nothing but snide complaints, and you have not offered a single "solution" or even a semblance of an idea... everything is a variation of "meh... you wouldn't say that if it were Trump/Biden", always with the intention of supporting Democrats.

So, I assume "with your background" (whatever that means), you can appreciate that I find your complaining about complaining a bit ironic when it's all that I see you have done. No meaningful contributions or ideas-- and not even any humor or good trolling.

Food for thought.
