just read about a Boeing 737 crashing after take-off (no info on fatalities yet)

the first thing that came to my mind.... OMG, another Boeing 737 going down... don't even want to think about air travel anymore

then I read, it happened in Iran, and I thought... oh, oh, it's an American plane.. they shot it down.

then I read, it was a plane belonging to the Ukrainian Airlines... and I wondered if Hunter Biden was on their board of directors.

we live in crazy times...

I hope, nobody got hurt.

update: everybody on board perished. My condolences to the victims' families

"we live in crazy times..."


Isn't that the truth...........and it seems like President Trump is in the middle of all of it.....even his withdrawing from the climate accord got the entire world upset, with accusations that he is going to destroy the planet and Pelosi claiming that him being elected later this year may ruin civilization............but I have a good one for you.


This is what Pelosi said just last month:

Pelosi warns: 'Civilization as we know it today is at stake' in 2020 election

But this is what she said over 5 years ago:

Pelosi: "Civilization As We Know It Would Be In Jeopardy If Republicans Win The Senate"

So speaker Pelosi, Republicans did win the Senate and here we are still.


Sort of like this threat that we've been reading and hearing about for 30 years but it never happens..........and they just keep moving the time frame.

U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked

So the latest, is that we have until the year 2030 before the greening up planet is destroyed by a made up climate crisis.

Gunter,

Many people would ise all this extreme weather as part of the crazy times...........but the fact is, the weather has been this extreme before. The crazy part is how they are portraying every bad event as being unprecedented ,,,,when it isn’t.....and an example of what the climate crisis is causing more of.....when it isn’t.

The crazy times part is that they hijacked climate science and turned it into politics  using CO2 and a fake climate emegency in order to impose global socialism.......... now that's unprecedented and as crazy as it gets.

Impeaching a President is pretty crazy too. We should note who the target is and who the group/party that did it in partisan fashion was.

Hmmmmm. Same group that promotes the fake climate scare to impose global socialism....which is what the climate accord does with no affect on climate.

Same group telling us the southern border crisis was no crisis....then changed it to the crisis was Trumps fault and we should have open borders to welcome all immigrants ......same theme again, Trumps fault and we need global and US socialism to fix it. 

Pretty crazy stuff.

Keep in mind that metmike is an active environmentalist that fights real pollution and helps the less fortunate in this world with real actions....and exposes disengenous, hypocritical charlatans that use convincing marketing schemes based on junk science and fake news/fakes to hoodwink people and to impose their belief system on us.

This  with the assistance of a MSM that is dominated by progressive activists who are in that field because it provides them with opportunities to change how people perceive the world. They are sincere about their ends justifies the means mentality because their biased cause is so important to them. I’m not questioning that they think what they are doing is for our best interest and the best interest of our world,,,,but we must use truth and authentic science to find our way to the best path. We the people must figure it out for ourselves!..,,,not all knowing gatekeepers that decide for us and manufacture realities to convince us of their way via save the planet or save the ——fill in the blank——schemes.

Pretty crazy stuff in the MSM right now which I have pegged as the scandal of the decade because of them parting ways ith professional journalism when it comes to coverage of president trump and the fake climate emergency. Instead choosing political agenda and propaganda to manipulate the news they report.

Man, that is as crazy as it gets and it’s happning right in front of us and has become the new normal because we’ve accepted it

mcfarm, if they find evidence of a bomb.....though there has been none mentioned and I’m not saying they will.....it will cause the global tide to shift strongly against Iran. 

Half the passengers  were from Iran, so people from Iran suffered the biggest loss here.seems like a shoot yourself in the foot way of using terrorism if that’s what it was.
