Lesson . . .

. . . NOT learned . . .



(from https://www.axios.com/qassem-soleimani-death-reactions-iran-85bd4b62-85f4-4e29-a0ec-1e6376534f03.html)
". . . Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.): "Qassem Soleimani masterminded Iran’s reign of terror for decades, including the deaths of hundreds of Americans. Tonight, he got what he richly deserved, and all those American soldiers who died by his hand also got what they deserved: justice.". . . Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) "Wow - the price of killing and injuring Americans has just gone up drastically. Major blow to Iranian regime that has American blood on its hands. Soleimani was one of the most ruthless and vicious members of the Ayatollah's regime. He had American blood on his hands. I appreciate President Trump's bold action against Iranian aggression. To the Iranian government: if you want more, you will get more.". . . Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.): "This is very simple: General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans. The President made the brave and right call, and Americans should be proud of our servicemembers who got the job done. Tehran is on edge - the mullahs have already slaughtered at least a thousand innocent Iranians - and before they lash out further they should know that the U.S. military can bring any and all of these IRGC butchers to their knees.". . . Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.): "The end of Qasem Soleimani is welcome and long-overdue justice for the thousands of Americans killed or wounded by his Iranian-controlled forces across the Middle East, and for the hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Iraqi Sunnis ethnically cleansed by his militias.". . . Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.): "Qassem Soleimani was an evil and deadly terrorist with the blood of thousands, including hundreds of Americans, on his hands. President Trump was right to order decisive action to kill Soleimani to prevent further attacks and defend American lives and interests.". . ."


". . . "With his departure and with God's power, his work and path will not cease, and severe revenge awaits those criminals who have tainted their filthy hands with his blood and the blood of the other martyrs of last night's incident," Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in a statement. . .The country's defense minister, Amir Hatami, said the nighttime strike ordered by President Trump would be met with a "crushing" response. . ."

Revealing . . .

. . . No, not the dresses. . . 

. . . revealing hypocrisy can be refreshing . . . 

(fromhttps://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/awards/ricky-gervais-doesn-t-waste-any-time-offending-golden-globes-n1110836)                                                                                                       ". . . On Sunday, Gervais took a jab at actors for working for companies with questionable morals, including Apple, Amazon and Disney, saying they had no right to make political speeches when accepting their awards. . . "If ISIS started a streaming service, you’d call your agent," he quipped. . .“If you win an award, don’t make your little political speech. No one cares. You know nothing. Say thank you to your agent and get the f--- off stage.". . . "

Clearly . . .


. . . these are the actions of innocent parties who justify same actions by claiming that the process is unfair . . . 


". . . The Trump administration disclosed on Friday that there were 20 emails between a top aide to President Donald Trump's acting chief of staff and a colleague at the White House's Office of Management and Budget discussing the freeze of a congressionally mandated military aid package for Ukraine. . . But in response to a court order that it swiftly process those pages in response to a Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, lawsuit filed by The New York Times, the Office of Management and Budget delivered a terse letter saying it would not turn over any of the 40 pages of emails — not even with redactions. . . "


. . . NOT!! . . .

Similarity? . . .



(from The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche by H.L. Mencken)
". . . The ignorant man solves this problem in a very simple manner: he holds that whatever he believes, he knows; and that whatever he knows is true. This is the attitude of all amateur and professional theologians, politicians and other numbskulls of that sort. . . "

Superman . . .


I wanna be everything
To everybody
From alpha to omega
No longer bleak or shoddy

A super-like someone I would be
A thing to which I do aspire
If only with the proper care
I'd set the world on fire



Superman

Still . . .


. . . growing . . . 


I may be getting on in years
I'd be fooling myself if I didn't admit
But there's still lots of time to do that which in past
Many commitments simply would not permit

From within and without
I find music's still flowing
And the truth of the matter
Is that I am still growing


Still Growing
