currently he seems to be keeping up with all his social media outlets just fine and
chatting about his new film.

Good to hear he's well enough to be back on social media. I had heard he was in the hospital with pneumonia and was a bit worried about him. Thanks again!

PS. Michael Moore is out of the hospital and confined to home. He was in the ICU with pneumonia for a week recently; brought on by his burning it at both ends getting this doc out and taking on the pricks behind the poisoning of the citizens of our hometown Flint. He’s on the mend and will be back being a thorn in the side of the Establishment soon.

... either Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. Saudi Arabia is where terrorists get their financing and the Pakistani Army and intelligence services train terrorists groups and provided a safe haven for Bin Laden.


I am not advocating a war. I opposed the Iraq war.


But if I was forced to start a war those would be my choices.

No one would be forced to start a war and I never intend to be POTUS.


Here are my thoughts.

Our Iraq intervention which was invented to "protect" us from terrorists ended up creating more of them and many of our "allies" actively support terror.

I am not suggesting we invade but there needs to be consequences for the Saudi's and the Pakistanis for their support of terror was my point.

I see your avatar. I feel sorry for you.

10. Michael Moore's film is about another type of invasion

that has nothing to do with war. He's out to discover how other countries live
under a different type of governance. However, he purposely created the perception
that the movie is about conquering another country. Listen to the interview...he explains.

13. Saw it at the show. Excellent move with very though provoking observations.

Everyone should see it. You may not agree with everything, especially one thing in the movie, but you should give it a fair hearing and think it through. Then ask, "why not here?" !!!
