  1. MP, none and dealer. I hate this hand. Jx in two side suits. K in another. I prefer this type of hand. [hv=pc=n&s=s53hqjt98763d2c53]133|100[/hv] Now open 3♥ and never bid again.
  2. Finally someone from the left speaks out against university campuses mistreatment of conservative speakers. http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2017/05/28/fareed-what-in-the-world-segment-gps.cnn
  3. Typical small mindedness from the left. That should open up the dialogue. Shame those who disagree with you. So you approve of Muslims living in the West practicing Sharia? They should be allowed human right abuses. Stoning those suspected of being gay is okay. Girls are owned by their fathers and when they marry they are owned by their husbands. And you wonder why people lie to pollsters. Why people are afraid to report anything suspicious. Muslims are not the victims. Another bombing. All is forgiven by the tolerant left. Conservatives complain. The inflexible elitist progressive left demonizes conservatives with more name calling hate speech. China will rule the world by 2050. China isn't dumb like the West, they won't open their borders. What does your fraction has to do with my statement on the city of Manchester? Few Muslims can afford to purchase homes in the expensive suburbs.
  4. The meaning of our rights and civil liberties has been a moving target since 1787. When I was a child in San Francisco(the most liberal city in America) Chinese weren't to live north of Boardway or west of Powell. Today illegal immigrants seem to have the same rights as American citizens. Don't forget in 1787 our founding fathers only gave those rights to wealthy white males.
  5. In the last census(2011) Manchester was 16% Muslim. So why was the left so shocked by this bombing? Europe was made little attempt to absorb and assimilate Muslims. Muslims have a 12 to 20% unemployment rate. Also twice as high as the norm in many areas. A lot of unhappy Muslims.
  6. So none of you lefties want to discuss the Manchester bombing. CNN didn't report on the bombing til 2 1/2 hours after the fact. They were too busy speculating on a possible Russia/Trump collaboration to steal the election. Russia has been in and out of recession for years. They are too incompetent to steal any US election.
  7. Study the history of civilization. Before the USA after WWII, every most powerful nation of the world set out to conquer the known world. There was the British empire. The USA isn't conquering the known world. Trump is just tired of the USA footing the bill to protect the free world. And the UN is corrupt. Its bureaucracy is worst than the US bureaucracy. Some members were spending $1,000 a night on hotel bills.
  8. No, the progressive left lives in a fantasy world. I live in the real world.
  9. The elite progressive left are drama queens. They think as a monolithic singular entity. No diversity of thought is allowed. The left is inflexible, intolerant hypocrites. PC is code for censorship of opposition views. The left denies free speech to all whose who dare to disagree. The left believes in globalism. Trump believes in America, American citizens should have more rights than non citizens. Trump also believes the US should make trade deals with terms favorable to America. These are the two main reasons I reject the elite progressive left.
  10. The Supreme Leader of Iran has the power. The vast majority of the Iranian people pose no threat to the West. Rouhani is their choice. The Supreme Leader will decide when to use nuclear weapons, not Rouhani.
  11. Obama told the UK if they voted for Brexit the US would put UK on the bottom of the trading queue. Trump said if the EU punishes the UK for Brexit, the US would put UK on top of the trading queue. Yet the UK loves Obama and hates Trump. Makes no sense to me.
  12. Iran. Iran is the most dangerous enemy to Saudi Arabia. No one believes Obama's Iran deal will deny Iran the bomb. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2017/04/24/more-obama-lies-about-the-iran-deal-revealed-n2317349 Trump is against the deal. .............. Trump has just signed a trade deal favorable to both the US and Saudi Arabia.
  13. Obama is stubbed by the Saudis while Trump is given the red carpet. http://cdn.timesofisrael.com/uploads/2016/04/Obama-US-Saudi-Arabia_Horo2.jpg
  14. The participation rate is near an all time low. Low unemployment is due to the method used to determine the unemployment rate. The moment one is dropped from unemployment insurance that person is no longer counted as one looking for a job. This is due to the aging of the population. Employer based health insurance is mostly good for the public. Obamacare exchange health insurance isn't access to healthcare. The public pays insurance premiums and still must pay a deductible before the insurance kicks in. Americans without health insurance before Obamacare are worst off today than in 2008. Under Obamacare 44% of all insurance payouts is due to the sickest 1%. Healthy Americans are being ripped off. They are forced to pay for the sick. Most health insurers have dropped out of the exchanges. They can't make money. Obamacare is collapsing. The dimms wont admit it.
  15. You have pretty much described yourself.
  16. 6-5 come alive, unless partner has shown a possible misfit. 2♦. As others have said, it doesn't necessarily end the auction.
  17. Even without knowing the South hand, South's bidding is too aggressive for my taste. As a passed hand, South should want North to freely compete. It would be difficult to construct a hand where South's bidding is consistent. Imp pairs. The difference between +100 and +200 is not great. Luckily the final contract is 2D. Difference between -90 and -180 isn't great either. But I like passed hands to give partner leeway.
  18. NO. What did Obama do for working class Americans during his 8 years? What did Obama do for the inner cities?
  19. My takeout doubles of 1♦ promises at least 4-3 in the majors. This hand doesn't meet those requirements. Also two jacks in the majors misrepresents the location of my points. 2♣ when favorable. If vul were none, 2♣ would be allowable with pass as a close 2nd choice.
  20. Israel, Brexit, France, etc. How many foreign elections has Obama interfered with?
  21. The Russian ambassador said he tried to meet with both the Hillary Clinton campaign and Trump campaign as often a possible. After nearly a year there is no evidence of any Russian/Trump conspiracy to win the election. Schumer and the democrats just loves to waste money. There should be an investigation on how the Russians try to influence American politics. The Democrats should be the losers on this investigation. Investigate Hillary, Podesta, and Obama along with Trump.
  22. The US constitution was written in 1787. Every European nation was a monarchy. Our forefathers didn't want the government run by any church. 8 of the original 13 states had an official religion. Each was a Christian denomination. There were no Muslim states. It was separation of church and state. Still the US(unofficially) is a Christian nation. The money says "under God". The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States added "under God" in 1954.
  23. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/chechnya-police-arrest-100-suspected-gays-3-killed-russian-report-n741896 Hundreds of men suspected of homosexuality arrested. At least three have been killed.
  24. The West isn't living under Constantine' Council of Nicaea(315 AD) dictates. The West has evolved into 21th century thinking. Look at the current treatment of gays in Muslim countries. Look at the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia.
