Since most of you are defending Trump in this war, I am curious to see how many US soldiers you believe are worth dying for it.

Since the biggest argument against the war is Israel's involvement,
one can assume your version of a "correct" answer is none.

I once got into it with CP and he made a statement about "an honest question" with which I tend to agree.
I asked what he meant by that comment regardless to see what he would say.
He said it was a leading question or one you already know the answer to but are trying to trap the other guy.
It is what BlaVe does every time he posts.

Your last choice in your poll is a perfect example that gives it away.

What if, hypothetically, someone doesn't care who helps us, but thinks the Iranians
will never stop trying until they get it?  The nuke.

**** as the Israeli government is, would that taint "the mission" enough to oblige you to be against the action?
Consequently any person who believed in that hypothetical would be considered a naive boob and ignored.

Just thought I'd ask...

9.2.4 More recent international guidelines…

 Since the publication of the York reviews, several new European guidelines have been issued in final or draft form, including those from the German AWMF, the French Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, the Polish Sexological Association, theEuropean Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE), and the forthcoming final version of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) guidelines.43 These reviews have been developed amid growing international awareness of the weaknesses of WPATH’s SOC-8 and the outdated nature of the Endocrine Society’s guidelines reflecting the need to have defensible, localized, up-to-date guidelines that set the standards of care for youth with GD.

Unfortunately, these recently-published (or as yet to be finalized) guidelines suffer fromthe same or similar methodological weaknesses that have rendered the WPATH and theEndocrine Society’s guidelines not trustworthy and not recommended forimplementation. All suffer from non-evidence-based approaches to guideline development and exhibit one or more of the following problems: (1) guideline development groups are composed of individuals with unmanaged conflicts of interest relating to the provision of pediatric gender transition services; (2) the guideline takes an a priori WPATH-aligned position that medicalized pathway of hormones (and surgery) is the recommended treatment approach; 44 (3) the recommendations are not based on rigorously-conducted systematic reviews of evidence; 45 (4) individual studies that drive treatment recommendations are not appraised for quality, and their conclusions are accepted at face value; (5) the recommendations are not graded for strength, resulting in ambiguity in clinical decision-making.

 9.4 Conclusion

 The current landscape of CPGs for treating youth with GD underscores significantvariability in methodological rigor and trustworthiness. A rigorous guideline appraisaldemonstrates that only a select few guidelines, notably those from Finland and Sweden,meet high standards for evidence-based clinical decision-making. These Scandinavianguidelines emphasize cautious approaches grounded firmly in systematic evidencereviews, advocating psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions as first-linetreatments, and restricting medical interventions to carefully monitored research settingsor exceptional circumstances.

 As shown in Chapter 9, the guidelines issued by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) have been rated among the lowest in quality and have not been recommended for implementation by systematic reviews (SRs) of guidelines.Despite their lack of trustworthiness, for more than a decade WPATH guidelines have served as the foundation of the healthcare infrastructure for gender dysphoric (GD)youth in the United States. cont page 159

https://opa.hhs.gov/sites/default/files ... report.pdf

Unlike most professional medical associations, WPATH does not require its members to be medical professionals. Full professional membership with voting privileges is alsoavailable to professionals in such fields as law, family studies, anthropology, and otherareas. Reflecting the diverse aims of its broad membership, WPATH treatment guidelines are designed to serve multiple purposes, ranging from clinical care to political advocacy.

WPATH is a dangerous organization at best….

Getting back to the original topic, 'Left wing Iran supporters' ... I don't believe there are any, in the proper sense of the word 'supporter'.

There may well be 'left wing' supporters of the governments of China, of Cuba, of pre-kidnap Venezuela ... because these governments nominally consider themselves 'left wing'. (Although it should be noted that there are many Leftwingers who are strong opponents of these governments, as well. Like the Right, the Left is not politically monolithic.)

And, at the time of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, there were indeed Leftists -- in fact the great majority -- who did not understand that the Khomeini people meant what they said about imposing Islam on Iran. They believed that the Islamists would just be a temporary phenomenon, a diversion of the genuine anti-imperialist sentiment of the Iranian masses. They equated 'anti-imperialist' with 'left wing/democratic'.

But now, I would be very surprised to find someone who is at the same time a Leftist, and a supporter of the Iranian regime.

However ... you can be a political opponent of a regime, and also want it to defeat another country's attack on it. Most Americans, of whatever political persuasion, wanted to see the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union defeated, without becoming supporters of Joseph Stalin.

So of course most Leftists want to see Trump/Israel's attack on Iran defeated, without at the same time approving of the Iranian government.

There are plenty of things wrong with the Leftist view of the world. Conservatives need to attack the erroneous views that Leftists actually hold, rather than something attributed to them that they don't actually believe.

Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin are still dead, too, fruitcake. 

And none of them were out **** with armed goons. They just fell into the path of the scum those goons are looking for. 

If Renee's death saves the next Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, or Rachel Morin, perhaps it was for the ultimate good.

Ya can't save everyone. Just try not to be standing next to them when they criminally interfere or criminally-adjacent interfere with armed men.

How did we even get here?

We got here because the dems decided feelings matter more than facts and turned the country into a giant daycare. It started the moment they said whatever someone feels like today must be treated as absolute truth. No questions allowed. No logic needed. Just clap and pretend it all makes sense while they rewrite rules, definitions, and basic biology to keep up with every new emotional trend. Meanwhile, normal people stood there wondering how any of this was supposed to work, and the dems kept doubling down with new labels, new demands, and new lectures every time someone’s feelings got a bruise. 

Never forget... @Johnny You  @Blackvegetable  @jerra b  @Squatchman @*Roshambo   

voted for and supported the school boards that pushed “affirm everything, question nothing.” They voted for and supported the activists who said kids should be taught that feelings outrank facts. They voted for and supported the lawmakers who insisted boys should be allowed in girls’ sports and girls’ spaces because “identity is fluid.” 

Then there are these ****....   @LowIQTrash  @Mrkelly  the 3rd party voters.. By not voting to stop it, they basically gave a thumbs‑up to the school boards pushing identity‑theory on kids, the lawmakers tearing down basic boundaries, and the activists who think feelings should outrank facts. They didn’t block anything, they didn’t protest anything, and they didn’t slow anything down...they just stepped aside and let the most extreme ideas roll right through. So, when people ask how this cultural mess got so bad, the answer is simple: the dems and the folks who didn’t vote, or wasted their vote on a fantasy candidate, helped clear the path for every policy they now claim to hate.

  "They were obliterated!"
 "They have no military left!"
 "They have no leadership left!"
     And yet Iran has beaten him at every turn and is humiliating the orange pedophile daily.
They control the strait of Hormuz and in turn are in control of the world. Trump gave them that out of his stupidity.
  They control the narrative.
 Each time he comes out and lies about a "deal" they blow something up.
  The self proclaimed best deal maker is getting his *** handed to him.

They put a tarp up as they removed Trump's name from The Kennedy Center so the disgrace would not be shown on video. The work was completed in the Zero Dark Thirty hours this morning under cover of darkness.

I recall how proudly MSM showed his name going up on the wall.

The wall of shame remains covered up. Every Social Media site has been corrected.  Kennedy Center is getting contributions again.  Liberal Arts folks might actually be able to keep their jobs if anyone can afford to go to a show.

Mr Trump,  tear down that tarp..

Are you sitting down? There are 2 Judges sitting on US District Court for DC with dual citizenship. (US stands for United States) Amir Ali and Sparkle Sooknanan. Making important decisions for America with dual citizenship. Insane.

Not one single person that holds dual citizenship, and I don't care what country it's from, should be elected to public office or appointed to public positions clear on down to local politics.

1)  OPENED the borders and let MILLIONS of illegal aliens into the country, and TRIED to make American believe it wasn't TRUE !

2)  RAMPED UP voter registrations of Illegals !

3)  Turned "election day" voting & winner declarations, into "MONTH LONG ORDEALS" & made it IMPOSSIBLE to believe they are HONEST !

4)  Went PRIMARILY to "Mail In Ballots"... that even Jimmy Carter said were an "OPEN invitations to VOTER FRAUD" !

5)  Been FRANTIC that the "Save America Act" be DEFEATED, even though has 85% APPROVAL of ALL American voters... INCLUDING Democrats !

6)  Have been PUSHING the idea that there "IS NO VOTER FRAUD in America"... Until actual audits of ballots... that they TRIED SO DESPERATELY to STOP...  ACTUALLY exposed the TRUTH ! 

7)  Millions of illegals (i.e. RELIABLE Democrat Votes) have now been DEPORTED... and MORE are leaving EVERY DAY !!  and..

8)  The Democrat Party is now RELYING on SOCIALISTS & COMMUNISTS to elect Democrats...  BUT, EVEN MOST "DEMOCRATS" DON'T WANT "Communists" in power, IN AMERICA !!

When Donald Trump is finished with his Mid-Term anti SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS & DEMOCRAT... ELECTION PUSH (THIS FALL)... and uses ONLY the TRUTH & FACTS to make his POINTS... i.e. that the CORE of the Democrat Party TODAY is MORE Communist than than they are Democrat... THAT they (DEMOCRATS) are ELECTING COMMUNISTS ALL ACROSS America, AND THAT TODAY'S Democrat Party has NO RESEMBLANCE AT ALL to the Hubert Humphrey Democrat Party of 1968 !

I think ENOUGH Democrats will WAKE UP (and SEE THE LIGHT)... and turn the Mid Term election into a Pro America/American & Republican ROUT... FOR AMERICA !!

As this thread is posed as a question, I will make a comparison in partisan logic.

1.) Conservatives used to oppose (vehemently) abortion. It was found over a fairly short timeframe that even conservatives found it to be a necessary procedure. So we are now at a stage where this acquiescence to a need outweighed a wish. A nod to human nature (mistakes, hormones, etc.) basically.

2.) Liberals have allowed wishes to overtake even their common sense (dubious as that is much of the time). The extreme and largely rejected notions of a few have yet to come full circle. See #1. It is hoped the next few months will be the slap to finally bring the hysterics to a close.

Conservatives can compromise even on something as deeply important as killing babies.
Can liberals manage the spine to compromise (or fully reject tantrum-fueled progressives)?

-------------

I see libs reject friends and family far more than any conservatives. That isn't "firm principles" in action.
That's usurped principles when you are basically talked into rejecting people in your life...
like having no principles at all.

Really, you find that hard to believe??? There is MORE than enough money in commercial beekeeping to have VERY nice things, several luxuries, a pool, nice vehicles, a PAID FOR 3 BR home, and travel as desired.

As a FYI, we don't sell "honeycomb" as that is like gold to a beekeeper that produces HONEY you STUPID ****!! I happen to know a few COMMERICAL BEEKEEPERS that earn over $200,000 a year AFTER expenses from their beekeeping operations. Sucks you don't and never will know any of them.

One of our LOCAL FIREFIGHTER CAPTAINS here started keeping bees 5-6 years ago with 3 hives, and now manages over 1,500 colonies, built a NEW HOUSE on 50 acres, and left that FF job 3 years ago to be FULL TIME beekeeping. Not only does he sell honey, and he built a $250,000 "honey house" last year including over $50,000 of extraction equipment, but he ALSO sells bees to new beekeepers that are OUTSTANDING nucleus hives. He sometimes sells queens that he raises too, for another added income stream.

Now, ****, you MIGHT have learned something.

I do not believe you. I'm pretty sure you are totally making all of this up. https://carolinahoneybees.com/how-much-beekeepers-make/

Looking over various sources on the internet on this issue, it seems like most beekeepers bearly break even, because the expenses are so great.
 
If you were honest, you would give provide the correct answer, which is no. You cannot buy a house and raise 3 kids on the income of a beekeeper.

And I would then inform you that before there was 'capitalism'...going back a few centuries...you absolutely could.

also, you could in Germany in the 1930s...but that is all ruined now.

By supporting a child molester and pedophile for president who was better suited for the Alzheimer's ward?
And then supporting a brainless, giggling whore and a buffoon who speaks in nothing but word-salad drivel?

Don't you realize that YOUR idiotic "choices" resulted in re-electing the person you hate most in the world and giving him a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate while winning every swing state, winning the electoral vote, and winning the popular vote in his landslide election?

Skim over some highlights, I thought.
I ended up watching the whole thing because it kind of skewers past and present administrations, FBI, etc.

Entrapment, scapegoating, red tape, lack of accountability, 180° flip-flops...

The biggest thing this guy is missing is he’s only looking at the end results of “successful capitalists. He thinks their success / wealth was either handed to them or achieved through osmosis while sucking down piña coladas on a beach…like farmers, business owners / capitalists have to wear their bootstraps 24 / 7 / 365.25…they always have to be on top of their game as the hostile takeover era comes to mind…

christ, he even whines about the rich Wall-Streeters he supposedly rubs elbows with…instead of the easy way out, the incessant whine, you’re never too smart to educate yourself…if he only know how much time, effort and spilled blood it took…and mebbe he does, which is why he’s laying on his bed in his mother’s basement in the fetal position posting about how “unfair” the world is…

Read too much ****, some people start to believe it. Ole Karl blew his legacy saying Capitalism would end around 1850. Fifty years later, a German socialist continued talking about the ills of Capitalism yet here we are. 

For some reason, it is entertaining as **** to me reading about their high education and high level college courses which they most assuredly got A+++++++(like Trump smart) yet complain about the current system (and Boomers). Wasn't the whole idea to use that education and go out in the world and kick ***?

Speaking of smart guys:

South Korean scientist YoungHoon Kim, who holds a reported record IQ of 276, publicly declared on social media that God exists and that Jesus Christ is the embodiment of truth!
