Another thing you're not allowed to say is that The Prophet (pbuh) of The Religion of Peace® was a blood-thirsty warlord and pedophile (Mo's favorite wife, Aisha, was 9 years old when they tied the knot). As for slavery, Mo was all-in. Likewise, beheadings! What a guy. Just ask the peaceful Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe, 600 to 800 of whom 'lost their heads' in 627 A.D. (women and children enslaved, of course). As to the women, let us just say that they 'lost their virtue'. Frequently.
The West has surrendered. Look at London. Detroit. Minneapolis. The former Catholic church in my old neighborhood on the East Side of St. Paul is a mosque. Ilhan Omar (need I say more?). The kings of France are buried at Basilique-cathédrale de Saint-Denis, near Paris, and it's a 'no go' zone inhabited by Mohammedans -- burial site of nearly every French king from the 10th to the 18th century. Charles Martel weeps.
Charles Martel defeated and set the Moors on the run at Tours and stopped their expansion into northern Europe. Unfortunately his warriors did not have the supplies or numbers to pursue and annihilate the pestilence from mankind. 1293 years later Europe indeed the world needs another Martel.
I'm a big fan of the attractive young lady, but to me, the look on her face in that particular photo is not so much "Come hither", as "Snap the bleeping photo so I can get the bleep out of these bleeping shoes!" Maybe it's just me... Also, I would love that outfit, although I think I would add a skirt. Very nice legs, though. AG
I'm likely a minority here, but I don't think either Taylor Swift or Sydney Sweeney is close to either Rita Hayworth (my vote) or Grace Kelly for most attractive.
Sydney knows her undergarments well, I'll give her that.
Well, beauty for sure is in the eye of the beholder and being a heterosexual female, when the sexual component is taken out of it, for me (as for Peigin) it comes down to who I think I would love to look like. Grace Kelly is a definite contender. In Rear Window with Jimmy Stewart, she is positively radiant. I also thought a young Liz Taylor and/or a young Vivien Leigh would be quite acceptable. As would Halle Berry for that matter. Or even (sigh) a YOUNG me. Come to that, I don't think ANY of those gorgeous ladies have had as happy a life as I have. AG
I don't know if any woman ever wore stunningly beautiful clothes better than Grace Kelly. Rear Window and To Catch a Thief are beautiful examples. My husband said it would be great if I could look like Grace Kelly but then said I probably wouldn't have married him. So I'm glad I just looked like a young me and married a young him.
My vote is for Audrey Hepburn. Of course, that would require double shots of Ozempic for an extended period of time, a nose remodel, different eye color and shape, maybe a few injections and fillers and still end up looking more like Edie Gourmet instead, as some well-meaning jerk once pointed out to me.
I saw a video of Ms. Sweeney at the range, in jeans and a high necked T-shirt. She was having fun and actually smiling. It was probably the most attractive I've ever seen her. Not only that, but she apparently impressed as it was her first range day and she did quite well. Then the instructor took a turn and left her speechless.
Ah, ha! I just noticed I have something in common with Sydney Sweeney -- My college roommate pointed out to me that my knees appear to bear the distinct faces of twin babies and I see that the knees of Miss Sweeney create the same features. Of course, these days my babies look more like sad crones who have weathered a few bouts of domestic violence.
It's probably just me again, but in a contest between Baby Churchill with his cigar and Tucker, my money is still going to be on Little Winston. I don't foresee a very popular cigarette being named Tuckers. More like baby bathing suits at Target. AG
Whats actually appalling is that so many people that I have so much respect for, including Eric Metaxas who wrote Bonhoeffer’s fantastic biography, would go so far out of their way to mischaracterize Tuckers comments about Bonhoffer. If anyone took the time to watch what he said in context, he was not criticizing Bonhoffer. He was saying once you begin labeling people as Nazi’s, which apparently includes people that merely object to policies of the Isreali government, under Bonhoffer’s logic, it becomes ok to kill them. Its unbelievable and appalling that people would go so far out of their way to lie about this. There is a deep sickness that has befallen people these days. In the latter days, even the elect will be decieved…
No one is 'labeling' Hitler a Nazi. He was a Nazi. He was trying to take over the world and was killing Jews, Gypsies, the mentally ill, homosexuals, innocent civilians of all stripes and virtually anyone he didn't like. He was taking over all his neighboring countries and every decent percent in the world wanted him dead. Bonhoeffer would have been doing the world a favor and been in line with Christian beliefs on the matter. There is a problem with the left labeling every Tom, Dick and Harry a Nazi, but calling the real Nazis is not labeling.
"Anybody remember talk two or three years ago that Tucker should/could run for president? Good times, good times!"
I remember thinking Carlson might make a good presidential candidate. Back then, his target for criticism was usually Barack Obama. I figured I liked anybody who disliked Obama. Even then, some of Carlson's ideas were a little odd, but most of the time he was pretty well based, unlike today when he seldom has a sane thought. Did Carlson lose his mind or did some of us just miss his craziness back in the day?
"...about 90 percent of the Black Africans sold as slaves in English and Dutch North America during that period had first been captured in war by fellow Black Africans."
That's not surprising. The Africans were well adapted to the jungles of Africa. Few whites could have even survived the jungle for a few days, let alone long forays to capture slaves.
Back in 1991, Frederick Cartwright and Michael Biddiss published a fascinating book titled _Disease and History._ Among other things, the book pointed out how native diseases (particularly rinderpest among livestock) largely kept Europeans out of the African interior until the latter half of the Nineteenth century. A strong supporting fact buttressing McWhorter's statement.
Tucker Carlson's 'ideas' are reminding me more and more of the type that were imagined in a college dorm about 2am after lots of pot and beer. Or, after recently watching Buckley's 1971 interview with Huey Newton, i wonder if Tucker is channeling the late Mr. Newton's stream of gibberish.

Not only did they surrender, they didn't even fight. Communists taking over education worked beyond anyone's wildest dream.

if you're not familiar with Raymond Ibrahim's books and commentary please look him up. As a former student of Victor Hanson i trust his scholarship

Audrey Hepburn's beauty is more than skin deep.

Forgot her darn
Wrong Hepburn in the clip. Although Katherine is no one to sneeze at.
Rear Window I have to agree.
If I could choose who I would look if I was born again, it would be Grace Kelly. I'm sure my husband would be OK with that.
I’m totally with you, Brian. I’ll leave my wife and daughters out of this—Grace Kelly is the most beautiful woman of the last century.
Grace Kelly, a most, most beautiful and very sexy lady. Rrruuuummm

Not only that, but she apparently impressed as it was her first range day and she did quite well. Then the instructor took a turn and left her speechless.
I could be wrong, but I think that is a skirt...
Me too, although we might be projecting. There gets to be a point in life where what matters in a shoe is, 'does it hurt to wear?'
That’s my thought, nice legs.
Ah, ha! I just noticed I have something in common with Sydney Sweeney -- My college roommate pointed out to me that my knees appear to bear the distinct faces of twin babies and I see that the knees of Miss Sweeney create the same features. Of course, these days my babies look more like sad crones who have weathered a few bouts of domestic violence.
I'll take Angie Dickinson circa Rio Bravo and Police Woman.
Taylor has a pretty face, but it is only skin deep. Sidney, from what I’ve read, beauty goes all the way to the bone. I so I hope I’m not mistaken.
Taylor swifts face is not that pretty
Taylor is a 5. A 6 if she tapes her bank statement over her face.
If she did that, could be maybe a 7

Winston Churchill is to cigarettes like the Witch Trials are to the menthol brand.
Well, Tucker had a car named after him. Oh wait—that was Preston Tucker, and it was his car.
Seriously? Sydney Sweeney is drop dead gorgeous and has the gravitas and brains to match. Taylor Swift is pretty. End of discussion.
These are excellent, Steve! Laughing hard here. Definitely Grace Kelly (thanks, Brian above!).

No one on this Substack thinks that if someone criticizes Israel's policies he's a Nazi. That's a tedious canard. Find a better one.
By the way, in case you and Tucker are confused, Hitler was a Nazi. He was also waging active war on the world, on the U.S., and on Christianity.
Bonhoffer was right if he tried to kill Hitler.
This site needs a Dislike button.
I see a call-letter change coming soon: RMTV, Reverse Mortgage TV.

Sweeney vs Swift: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Good humor, made me chuckle. Thanks.
I almost tossed my cookies when I read that Tucker comment.
