Ready For Some Football!

Kicking off the weekend. Yankees rule later today.

In other news, these Admin texts about Ukraine seem deeply problematic. I guess the White House spin is that the Burisma-Biden connection represented 2016 election interference by Team Obama since it quashed potentially embarrassing headlines about the conduct of foreign policy under Obama. Quite a stretch.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I hate to disagree with matt and almost never do but this;

Ig, the classics were only saved because th Arabs saved them and they were rediscovered in the West the 13th and 14th centuries. Both Avicenna and Averroes were great polymaths, and if we want to cast the net wider even Maimonides was not of the Western tradition

is largely myth.
First they were often "saved" by muslims from the depradations of muslims.
Second the entire islamic "golden age" was not only built on mostly Greek and Jewish predicates but many of the greatest scholars of this "islamic" golden age were in fact Christians and Jews either in dhimmitude or under forced conversions.
Third, to the extent the Dark ages were dark, which itself is a bit of a myth, classic scholarship continued and was preserved in monasteries and other centers of learning in Europe and Asia Minor.

There of course have been great minds and even great ideas outside the West and the Judeo-Christian faith.
I specifically said that while there have been contributions from outside sources they weren't significant in the development of the magnificent edifice of Western Civilization. I still stand by that. It's particularly true at the core of the greatest achievement of WC; its moral, ethical and spiritual framework, which gave birth to the individual, religious, economic and political liberties enshrined in our founding.

[Texas Liberty Gal]

Excellent point Clarice!

Trump calling Romney an ass is well-deserved IMO.

Some posters here just won’t tolerate even the slightest criticism of the President.

I’d tolerate the comments from Mitt and Jeb a lot more easily if they ever opened their traps to speak against someone other than the President.

Jeb was quiet for 8 years while Obama was systematically dismantling everything his brother managed to accomplish as President (and mocking and denigrating him as he did it).

Mitt was quiet while Harry Reid lied about his taxes, the media mocked his wife’s Multiple Sclerosis, and the Dems called him a homophonic racist Nazi dog murderer.

But somehow they’ve managed to find their voices to criticize a GOP president who’s actually accomplishing pretty much everything they claimed to want to do if they’d been elected President.

So I can’t help but conclude that either their promises in 2012 and 2016 were complete crap and they were never Republicans or conservative in any way at all, or...

No, that’s pretty much the only explanation.

[MissMarple2]

nice touch on those significant points re Western Civ.

when i saw that banner with Anzaldua, Angelou et al hanging above the principal's of foundational thinkers in Western trads i was reminded of the culture wars at the University of Vermont 1984-2000 (roughly) when students were pounding the table to have the OG's thrown out and Anzaldua, Hooks et al swept into the canon.

it was thin gruel and didnt challenge students by helping them develop their unformed brain matter with bloodsweaty THINKING. Anzaldua writes whiny gotcha narratives targeting anything with a sausage. "phallocentric".... was the intellectual targeting objective....tear down any male thinker unless his phallus was targeting a same sex hole.

it remains disgusting that these "thinkers" of late are the centerpiece "thought leaders" in the student "debt crisis."

It’s wrong to investigate influence-peddling by a foreign government using the son of the then-Vice President? Especially when said son is an unqualified drug addict who was kicked out of the Navy and had nothing to bring to anyone’s table except Daddy’s influence?

John Solomon is doing his part as are Kim Strassel and Sarah Carter
Where are the Senate Republicans?
Why don’t they call in Biden and his son to testify under oath.
Oh that’s right, they are asleep at the switch.
Trump should be calling on the Senate to expose the soft coup players.
But no, Romney hurt his feelings so it is a much better use of his time to lambaste him.
Trump should be in conference with the Senate each day and McConnell needs to daily pronouncements about this witch hunt.
Sasse also said some rather critical statements but here on this blog : crickets?

In 2016, Mitt Romney said electing Donald Trump "would lead to recession."

In 2017, Romney said he sought Hillary Clinton's advice, and she encouraged him to try to become Secretary of State under Trump.

Impeccable judgement.

https://time.com/4813499/mitt-romney-hillary-clinton-secretary-of-state/
====================================
So, what was Romney doing colluding with a proven criminal, Hillary Clinton?

[Buckeye]

While 41 Republicans backed Trump’s emergency order, the 12 who broke with him said they worried about executive overreach and that it could set a precedent for future presidents — who may be Democrats — to use such a power to achieve things Congress won’t approve.

Interesting how little time they spent worrying about executive overreach when Zero was in office.

Mitt is the modern version of a carpetbagger. Father was governor of Michigan, but born in Mexico. Mitt was governor of Massachusetts and is now a Senator of Utah, only because he is a high ranking Morman bishop. When he took over the bribery infested stalled development of the 2002 Olympics he called in the "old firm" to rescue the schedule, which we did, just like we did for the LA Olympics and Barcelona. I was TDY to SLC for 2 months working on the organizational development. IOW cherry picking the best and brightest in our company.

The one meeting I attended with Romney present did not leave me with wonder as to his management style and executive skill. He could hardly follow our plan which required everyone on the take or wanting to be on the take to just get the fuck out of the way. No interference. Just let our team do what they do.

Romney seemed overwhelmed at our focus and what we required from him and his owner organization. We made up 4 months of delay to finish on time by fast tracking and keeping him out of the process.

He is not as smart as people believe he is.

[D]

Mitt Romney went to President Trump cup in hand to ask for his endorsement for the Senate race. Trump graciously gave it.
No mention of recession at that time on Mitt’s part.
Prior to that Trump had called Mitt a choker and loser.A former Governor and a current Senator is not a loser in my opinion.

--Sasse also said some rather critical statements but here on this blog : crickets?--

I and others criticized Sasse and there has been no shortage of criticism of him over time.

This seems to be the basis of the problem; MR you are misinterpreting these things as personal or personality driven either pro Trump or anti Romney et al.
That is almost universally incorrect.
Trump is, by hook or by crook and by whatever means necessary advancing an agenda most of us support enthusiastically.
For that he is praised.
To the extent Mittens, Sasse, Rubio or anyone else putatively or marginally on the side of that agenda undercuts Trump and therefore the important work he is doing they get hammered.
They have not raised a single point worth considering and they have assisted Trump's and therefore OUR enemies by undercutting him. This is a war and in war you do not publicly undercut your side. That is why they are attacked because they are endangering the war effort. Period.
Not because anyone carves their and Trump's initials into their school desk and not because of some personal animus toward Mitt. It's because Mitt actually makes a fairly useless buck private in the war effort, but he still seems to think he ought to be some big mouth four star directing the troops.
He oughta be on KP.

The Infamous Ignatz, I agree with you that we would still have the classics and excellent commentaries thereon if the medieval Islamic philosophical works and scholars had never existed. In addition, many Islamic philosophers were working with translations of the Greek classics undertaken by Christians (often in the region where Syria now sits). I would argue, however, especially in political philosophy, Islamic scholars' works have stood the test of time. Maimonides, for instance, acknowledges his debt to Abu Nasr al-Farabi.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Islam has produced nothing important the west hasn't and whatever it has produced comes with a generous portion of the most egregiously destructive, malignant and counterfeit mix of religion, politics, morality, culture, ethics and economics the world has ever seen with the possible exception of communism.
If people want to read Persian poets or put one of their rugs on their floor or eat Turkish Delight or falafal, fine.
But let's not pretend it in any significant way shaped or should shape Western Civ.
Almost everything good about Persian, Arab and other islamacized cultures predates or exists despite islam anyway. But it's difficult to import the one without the other, thanks to the totalitarian nature of islam so, no thanks.

[D]

Clarice:
I am not happy about Romney’s comments either but don’t believe the President should resort to name calling in his response.
He needs to construct his responses in a more positive tone.
I think he should invite Romney, Sasse, Joni Ernst snd Mike Lee to the WH
and start with a clean slate.
Assign them some crucial cause or task that helps them get on board with his agenda more.
I just think as chief executive he could turn this around with a little bit of effort on his part.
He works with Pelosi after she accused him of a cover-up.
He should call the bluff of Nancy in the trade deal and prescription drugs.
Say he wants both done by Thanksgiving and enforce the deadline.
He must be more pro-active.

The Iowa offense self-destructed through penalties and turnovers. The Michigan defense applied a lot of pressure, which forced it I suppose. They did have a few great plays, but in the end the combination of MI defense and Iowa mistakes killed them.

A side comment from someone sitting in the cheap nosebleed seats when it comes to arguing history and religion. From my distant view, the Jews figured things out very early when they picked the smartest guy as their Rabbi and he had lots of kids, while the Muzzies with their 70 IQ married their 1st cousins. How's that workin' out for ya? How much stronger would the otherwise great gifts saved/created by the medieval monks have been if they had kids?

So, high IQ by itself might get you Chicoms, but overlay a Judeo-Christian framework and you get the best we can conjure at this point.
