  1. An A&W rootbeer float sounds good right about now. Two scoops of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and a cold mug of A&W rootbeer. Of course, chased down with A&W chili dogs and cheese topped chili fries in a 69 cherry red soft-top mustang next to the train tracks and a 15-minute train rolling by going clikety-clack.
  2. Take a picture or it didn't happen.
  3. Too bad I have it read it cover tocover like four times and a number of the volume in the Hadiths which are the authoritative interpretations of the Quran. This does not count the number of times I am looking for a particular verse to quote verbatim back to someone. Wow the guy did not reply.How quick they are to say oneisuneducated about their books andthen when you not onlyshow them youhavereadthe books but can quote itback to them they either try to turn the conversation towards the ills of Christianity, how America stoletheir land or anything other than Islam. And we wonder where the left gets its gameplan. something most donotknow and whatis the worst thing a muslim can commit? Shirk. You would think apostacy but no. Shirk is disavowing their god exists. Sort of atheism if you will. This is why atheists are worse than gays in Islam. Both get the death penalty but shirk is unforgivble.
  4. Really with Information Ministers such as this who wouldn't love Iraq when Sadam was in power (go to time marker 7:09). According to this guy Iraqi's (at that time) Iraqi's were victorious. It's called blowing smoke up the behind to brainwash the mind. The epitome of how students got their information and then how they viewed Iraq.
  5. Please add to the above: The difference of being "close to the dollar" versus being "over the dollar" at the above exchange rates is roughly $160,000 for the first and close to $200,000 for the second per million IQD. In terms that are relatable, this is the cost of a two-story, four bedroom, two and a half bath home in an average US subdivision in the Midwest.
  6. A rate of .86 gives us over the dollar when the math is done correctly. 1 USD divided by .86 equals 1.16 USD (rounded) per 1 IQD. 1 USD divided by 0.00086 equals 1 USD per 1162.79 IQD 25000 IQD divided by 1162.79 (IQD per USD, rounded) equals 21.50 USD (rounded) per 25,000 IQD. But the exchange rate is not 1162.79. According to the CBI it's 1190. Which would make it 0.00084 (rounded), not the 0.00086 (rounded) exchange rate. Plugging this rate into the above equations: 1 USD divided by 0.84 equals 1.19 USD (rounded) per 1 IQD. 1 USD divided by 0.00084 (rounded) equals 1 USD per 1190 IQD 25000 IQD divided by 1190 (IQD per USD) equals 21.01 USD (rounded) per 25,000 IQD.
  7. Seriously? I have studied the Quran and the Hadiths. The latter which contains some of the most hilarious jokes it is not even funny. Don't give me the weak Hadith crap or what I learned is out of context because most Muslims don't even know the context. I know the verses in the Qur'an are not in chronological order and the verses that people point to that are so-called friendly verses have been abrogated. The so-called prophet never teach a bad thing? Seriously? A bad thing eh? Here is something their so-called prophet taught, dogs, especially black ones, were bad and must be killed. Why? The story goes the so-called prophet tried to have someone either assassinated and the dogs alerted to the would-be assassins preventing the assassination from occurring. Thus he declared dogs were bad after that giving a different reason for the declaration. I have heard with my own two ears Muslims charm the pants off of women, then go behind closed doors and talk about committing terrorist acts in the name of their so-called prophet. Don't tell me I haven't studied this religion because I have through an unbiased mind. Once you learn the correct sequence of the verses you find out they go from friendly (when their so-called prophet had no more than 85 followers and kicked out of Mecca by his own family to when he came back from Medina with an army of criminals and beyond) How their so-called prophet never stepped foot in Jerusalem but is said to have ascended to heaven to get the number of times a muslim is supposed to pray. I have debated the fallacies that exist in the Quarn and the Hadiths. How the Mother of Islam, Aisha, own recollection of the Quran was thrown out. How the Quran was put together by Othman and how he burned all remnants and verses he could get his hands on once the Quran was put together. How their so-called prophet could not read (debatable with him running Kadisha's business) so he would have people memorize it and recite it. How because of this there were different versions of the Quran as confirmed in the Hadiths. What a reader and translator is. How in an Istanbul museum, the Quran on display looks and reads nothing like the Quran of today due to the language of Arabic being a phonetic one. I know far more than the normal infidel and far less than a cleric. One thing I do know and will always equate is the teachings of the so-called prophet got his revelations from the mouth of the Angel of Light to which the god of the Jews and Christians said he would never speak through another being and two the Angel of Light is said to be Shaitan. Please, I have never studied the religion (being sarcastic here). Bah! I have spent years studying the region and the religion.
  8. Peaceful years in Iraq? Not since it became a country has there really been peace. Sadam gained power by bringing the assembly together and escorting out the ones he dindt like and shot them in the back pf the head. Some say Iran isnt done with Iraq as it controls the southern portion of Iraq and terror groups found a haven in Iraq when Sadam was in power. The Kurds have been fighting since the late fifties and even today they fight. There will never be peace in the Middle East intil the three religions decide on a winner and the other two no longer exist. Its been that way wven before the pedophilia prophet who tried to conquer the arabian pennisula by the sword. Even then the Middle East has been ravaged by war since man has been walking the earth. Peace? Never in the ME.
  9. His idea of stable not ours. I am also surmising he is talking about trying to remove as much counterfeit currency on the market.
  10. "On the issue of the currency of the category of 100 thousand dinars, these ideas are traded by the Central Bank, but at the moment, there is a tendency in some countries to reduce the currency categories so as not to be stored or falsified," He said, adding that "currencies And the central bank has a future plan to restructure the Iraqi currency, including the deletion of zeros, but this plan needs to take deliberate steps, and a stable situation fully so as not to be exploited in the fraud and other. You missed something very important that has been brought up and said before as you put it in purple. The clause " the plan needs to take deliberate steps and a stable situation fully as to not be exploited in fraud and other." is an important clause because this statement alone has been stated vaguely before and the "stable situation" part was emphatically discussed by a lot of people. The Governor of the CBI did not state what constituted a stable situation. However, I am further guessing it would not include the GOI not being fully seated at this time, the protesting in southern Iraq and other things. With those two words int his article, the CBI is delaying any kind of RV from happening in the near future, much less this month. When the Governor of the CBI stops saying that his country is not in a stable situation then an RV is imminent. The reason I say this is because of the last part of the clause talking about corruption. The Governor of the CBI is not confident that an RV can take place in the corrupt climate which exists in Iraq at this time.
  11. "The human spirit is not measured by the size of the act, but by the size of the Heart" - Yakov Smirnoff "Oh what a country!"
  12. There are those who say Paul Harvey (1918 - 2009) was an atheist . This is for all those on here who debate the whatever about the Bible. A word from the devil (after hearing from the devil, scroll down to hear God's letter) And now a word from God
  13. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana Paul Harvey spoke these words in 1965. How never truer are they than today. I believe in my God, my country and myself.
  14. As I listen to the radio some Senator came over the mic and said this should be a Civics 101 moment. None better to give it than the immortal Paul Harvey. Without further Adieu
  15. I will tell you, Barry, I missed you because I miss all the laughter you bring. For example, I couldn’t stop laughing at that “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period”. I couldn’t stop laughing because although I must have liked this one particular doctor over a thousand times, he wouldn’t allow me to keep him...in a 42-inch crate. I haven’t laughed so hard in my in my life at that sentiment. The wild conspiracy of Benghazi, how I always laugh when you say its a “wild conspiracy” and locked an innocent dude up to cover up for the shrillery. Barry what’s she got on you and your boyfriend? Can’t stop laughing on this because now all we say is lock her up! Barry, Moochelle is straight from an Eddy Murphy stand up routine. I nicknamed her goony goo-goo because she be doin some hardcore smackin’ when it comes to those rib bones. Your wife (some say she be a chick with a male part down below) can seriously suck down them ribs but hey Marie Antionette said let them eat cake right? I kept laughing and wondered where Robespierre had gotten off to and would the Mooch be joining him. Hey Big O, welcome back because I can seriously do with the laughter because your boyz are really messing things up! You need to round them up before you have no legacy left - more laughter - if you have any in fifty years the next big Prez will have done their job. Hey 0bummer, I love to laugh at you all the time if I could, but I have to run to the ballot box and put a big V to the O to the T to the EEE and that spells I physically voted under my name not as a zombie come back to life.
  16. NYT Flop-Editorial Obama’s Back Even Though He Never Really Left By Judi McLeod —— Bio and Archives--September 10, 2018 Cover Story | 19 Comments | Print Friendly | Subscribe | Email Us 115 “I am part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart part of his agenda and his worst inclinations.” That’s “NEWS?! If the words in Wednesday’s New York Times’ Flop-Op-Ed were not written by former President Barack Hussein Obama, they were certainly written FOR him In point of plain fact, in consideration of the Op-Ed’s timing—one day before Obama came out of the closet as the Anti-Trump Resistance Leader, the Op-Ed’s words made it Obama’s re-entry into the political scene as resistance leader. Notice how this is the one Op-Ed that was never suppressed but went viral instead? And now we have New York Times columnist David Brooks stepping up to the plate pretending to be against his editorial page bosses, but providing them cover. “(Brooks) expressed public disagreement with his editorial-page bosses on Friday night’s All Things Considered on NPR. He didn’t directly mock their choice to publish an anonymous “senior administration official” bragging about how an internal “resistance” keeps President Trump in check from his worst impulses. He just mocked the official for committing a “stupid act” that will make Trump “much more erratic.” (NewsBusters, Sept. 8, 2018) Front page headlines are shouting “Obama’s back!” But the reality is that Obama is not back because he never really ever went away in the first place. Fortified by the most lavish of lifestyles, fully rested up from rich man holidays, dining out at the finest restaurants with wife Michelle, and interrupted only infrequently delivering addresses to university students who are his safe captive audience, Obama had almost two years to plan his Coming-Out Resistance Party leadership. In their first years out of office, other presidents oversee blueprints of libraries in which to leave their so-called legacies. Obama’s is no library but a $1.5 billion dollar “Presidential Center” set to be launched in 2020 when whomever he wants (including his wife or chosen friend) will take over the Oval Office easing the smarting of the pain when he failed by trying to install Hillarious Clinton there. Only a Democrat (read, Communist, Marxist, Socialist) is fit to lead America as far as Barack Obama is concerned. Hard as it may be for some to accept, the issue when Obama came into power was never that he wasn’t born in America, but that he was launched on America by a cabal working to take the nation down. There’s really nothing new about Obama coming out as the official leader of the resistance, that’s been his entire life’s main goal. Even before being elected for the first time as junior Illinois state senator, he was already on the public teat with pals like Bill Ayers. There’s nothing new in Wednesday’s NYT Op-Ed. By and large the same words, or ones to the Op-Ed’s effect had already been written by a bevy of book authors lining up to take Trump down. First came the rarely heard from any more Michael Wolff, followed by Omarosa, and now Bob Woodward, with stragglers like Hillarious Clinton and her FBI defender Jim Comey in between. Expect books by Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, Maxine Watters, Elizabeth Warren and a plethora of others before the 2020 presidential election. Continued below... None of them see that millions of deplorables among the masses, trying to make up for lost time during Obama’s eight long years in the White House , don’t have time to sit around and read propaganda chronicled in books. Here’s the Real News: The self-crowned “GREAT I AM’!” who mentioned himself 102 in a 64 minute speech is as arrogant out of office as he was when he was in it. Even bright, young never-Trumpers see clearly through Obama’s Comeback Act: “On Friday, former President Barack Obama gave a speech at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The central conceit of the speech was that President Donald Trump had broken American politics. And the central lie of the speech is that time began on November 8, 2016 – that the collapse of America’s social fabric and civic institutions had nothing to do with Barack Obama. (Ben Shapiro, Sept. 7, 2018) Long-suffering deplorables don’t have to go all the way back to 2008 to see where the 21st century’s ‘GREAT I AM!’ comes from but only look back to January 2017. All embittered attendees assembled at the Donald Trump Inauguration only got through the most hated inauguration of all time, knowing the blaze of pink knitted ***** caps would be on full display by the following day. Forging ahead as meticulously planned, they placed a pink ***** cap on the hated head of the incoming president one day after he was inaugurated, trying to Hillarious brand him forever as the world’s worst misogynist. They didn’t contain their visceral hatred of Trump in Washington, DC, but by crossing the ocean to Great Britain, made it generic. If it sounds like a conspiracy it’s because it was and is a conspiracy. Meanwhile, Special Counsel head Robert Mueller III’s book is sure to come. Call it ‘Impeachment by the Resistance’. As usual, the mainstream and social media will be trying to distract you. This time with something spelled D-i-v-o-r-c-e, the divorces of Michael Moore, Van Jones and over in England, Boris Johnson’s. But Duck, Deplorables, Duck because the Democrats will be hurling the kitchen sink at the masses anytime between today and Nov. 6 Midterm Elections. The only way to stop them in their tracks and to avoid being hit by future hurled objects is to get out and vote Republican.
  17. I have seen and heard worse translations made by humans. I would rely more on a translation done by computer and have in various languages (Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, and others). In almost all cases, the intended recipient had no idea a computer had translated the written composition but had responded as if a human spoke/wrote the correspondence. Most of this was done within a top global company (GE) in which I had to talk to people all over the world in order for them to be productive. There were some idiosyncrasies but the computer translation was far better than human translation. An interesting tidbit most translators who freelance use computer software to do their translations. People will be people and in a data-driven world, people, no matter where they are in the world, are still reluctant to place trust in computer-generated information. Trust but verify which is why I always asked for the original text along with the translation.
  18. I honestly can't say. However, it would appear to be the Feds answer to other countries doing the same
