"In three decades working for Rush Limbaugh, I'd never heard him smash-mouth a caller like that." from my piece in the @Jerusalem_Post over 3 years ago: Rush Limbaugh’s love of Israel continues to inspire jpost.com/christianworld…

@CindyHoedel @walterkirn It’s gotten so crazy now that it’s not just this or that issue. It’s increasingly every single issue you must align with me and my position, even if I held the opposite position five minutes ago.

@walterkirn It’s a sign of an illiberal mind to say: I cannot respect anyone who doesn’t share my opinion on this or that issue. The founders had vehemently different positions but respected each other. We need to get back to that.

I love when strangers tell me here that they've lost respect for me because of this or that thing I've said. To hear I've lost what I never knew I had and never sought from someone is not a loss at all. It's a puff of wind.

“Christianity is a white religion.” I’m sure the Middle Eastern and North African peoples who were the first Christians would be interested to hear that story.

@SMartinH1957 That was the Serbs but yes. Hahaha Hitting a plane can happen it’s invisible, not a ghost. People hit fictional characters like the Invisible Man all the time.

@HistoryDean So with all the Russian intel they’re receiving the one time they score a hit it’s thanks to CNN. Lol

Three weeks of war, they may or may not have finally gotten a lucky shot on a plane — and not even brought it down. People are out of their minds. America lost, lost, a stealth fighter over Kosovo in the ‘90s. Literally, nobody said it was the end of America and the war was lost.

It wasn’t Russian air defenses It wasn’t Chinese air defenses It wasn’t American air defenses It was a fully domestically built Iranian air defense system that tracked & hit the “stealth” F-35. Built by Iranian engineers during MAXIMUM sanctions. Necessity is the mother of invention.

@SMartinH1957 I guess. It’s so funny because an outdated Russian SAM hit the jet with a lucky shot because they timed it perfectly after watching footage of it taking off from Italy.

@HistoryDean Things must not be going well with the campaign. Now he can show the voters that he’s bravely fighting the Americans for them……..over the existence of Kosovo.

I said a stealth fighter was shot down over Kosovo. Which is a truth, a fact. Instead of responding to the point about the jet he claimed Kosovo never existed. Now, as somebody who knows there’s only one Macedonia and that it’s in Greece, I understand some people may not like Kosovo’s independence. But it’s literally what everybody called it during the war, and it definitely existed as a province of Serbia — and before that of Yugoslavia. I’d be happy to learn about the nuances of its history, but it had literally nothing to do with the point (it was a distraction tactic) and I certainly don’t let anyone, no matter how obese, to call me a liar because they lie that Kosovo doesn’t exist as a place.

@SMartinH1957 Maybe. I don’t even know who he is, but I learned a new thing today that there are people out there who deny Kosovo exists. I can’t believe he called me a liar. I don’t lie. I’ll prove it! He’s fat and he needs to drop about 250 pounds See? Total truth teller.

@awstar11 It’s bull crap anyway. America didn’t start it and it’s not started on behalf of anything but getting the people who have murdered Americans and screamed for death to the country.

@awstar11 Starting a war on behalf of Israel isn’t popular in Europe and the U.S., as you’re just now finding out. Their demographics also look better than ours. Hope this helps you understand the situation.

Me: A stealth fighter was shot down over Kosovo in 1999. Troll: KOSOVO DOESN'T EXIST, YOU LIAR. Me: Points out Kosovo absolutely does and did exist and has for a long time. TROLL: You're triggered. What a terrible place this is. hahaha

I can do this all day, but this is the final word. You have lost the privilege of speaking to me. Is this 1941 newspaper also fake? I'll just assume you're too embarrassed to apologize for calling me a liar, but you seem pretty old. You should grow up and admit when you're wrong.

@FGaitho237 It triggered you. You called me a liar and claimed a place DOESN'T EXIST, which is idiotic. And you know it. And now you're coping.

The tweet that got you so triggered was simply pointing out how international sanctions - once the West’s favorite weapon for coercion and subjugation - are rapidly losing their bite and relevance. We wouldn’t be this shocked or impressed if the country shrugging them off were a conventional military heavyweight like China, Russia, or even an EU member state. The real awe comes from watching a smaller, long-sanctioned nation like Iran expose just how hollow and outdated the entire sanctions playbook has become.

The place EXISTED. And it’s immaterial to the base point that a nighthawk was shot down there. So if you’d like to discuss the actual point instead of distracting, feel free to do so. Now, if you wanna talk about Macedonia and not existing, I’m all in. But literally everybody called the Kosovo. It was a province of Yugoslavia. Then a province of Serbia. This is like saying, the Rhineland didn’t exist because it was part of Czechoslovakia It’s not a serious point. It’s a distraction. Good luck to you finding some of the fall for such a weak play.

@HistoryDean Ah, so Kosovo was essentially a media-engineered construct long before its formal independence declaration and partial recognition in 2008? Got it.

@FGaitho237 Seriously? I’m lying? You really think Kosovo didn’t EXIST?! I thought you had to be joking. My faith in human intelligence takes another hit.
