He bitched about the election and still believes he won. That isn't a crime... The deputy White House Counsel said there was no evidence that fraud had thrown the election to Biden, and that if Trump tried to stay in office in spite of the election results, there would be "riots in every major city...

I'm a relatively recent and peripheral member of the community, so I can't talk about anyone else, but of course I can submit a short bio for myself once you have a format settled.

Gee is the expert here, so what I would ask him is: when the Egyptian priests were accessing these Jewish and Christian documents, what languages were they in? From what little I have read about that, those documents were in Greek, the Septuagint being the primary example. Of course, there is nothi...

Why don't those so-called "historians" value narcissism and psychopathology as Presidential virtues? They don't value James Buchanan's inaction during the run-up to the Civil War or Andrew Johnson's sabotage of Reconstruction, either. Given his avatar, Ajax may well disagree with them on that score...

It obvious that the court is trying to delay Trump's trials further. Smith asked in December to skip the DC circuit and have the Supreme Court hear this appeal immediately to get this nonsensical appeal shot down immediately; they refused.

I expect there is still at least a rough consensus of sensible thinking about what we can believe confidently about ancient Egypt, about what we really don't know at all, and about what things in between count as plausible hypotheses. Maybe sometimes an idea can run up the charts quickly, from craz...

In one of your earlier posts you mentioned Isis had issues with Roman authorities. Why is that? Why would a Roman leader like some deities they had conquered but despise others? What did Jesus have that Isis didn't? The cult of Isis arrived in Rome in the days of the Late Republic, when Egypt was s...

Peripheral issues, as I’ve mentioned a whole lot of times now here and there, are secondary to the primary issues. Folks that would like to either ignore or deflect from the critical importance of primary issues will move to secondary issues in order or with the intent of avoiding the primary issue...
