As Debate Heats Up, the Masks Come Off

As campus protests turned violent, necessitating police operations to clear illegal encampments, the true agenda of the activists became apparent. Initially, the demonstrations were presented as saving innocent lives in Gaza with a cease-fire and humanitarian aid. Within this demand lurked the desire to save the Hamas terrorist group from defeat; a group that was using civilians as human shields. They charged that Israel was conducting “genocide” in Gaza with its offensive to clear out the thugs who had purposely massacred civilians in Israel on October 7, 2023. However, the genocide issue quickly shifted as the campus radicals openly embraced the Hamas objective of destroying Israel

On the one hand, this would never have happened without the large amount of funding freed up for the instigators, the Iranians, by Uncle Joe. On the other hand, better to confront it now rather than having had it grow any longer. Joe's not up to the task. But this might make the next vote 'too big to rig.' Fingers crossed.

FTA: "Yet, the GOP radical Surrender Caucus wants defeat. This can be seen in their continued campaign to denigrate Kyiv as a corrupt regime that is destined to lose to a stronger Russia, a Russia than some have even championed in the same way the Progressive have championed Hamas. Rep. Greene went so far as to say Russia is "protecting Christianity" and echoed Moscow’s claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (a Jew) leads a Nazi regime. Where is the conduit for this Russian propaganda into the party of President Ronald Reagan? " This mirrors what I have said repeatedly. How is it that "conservative Republicans" seem to seek out and cling to Russian disinformation and exclude simple facts on this topic? Like the author, I find this inexplicable.

I share the same thought as the OP on RINOs - and further believe some recent asinine behavior by certain GOP politicians has been tolerated because of their thin, self-proclaimed veneer of support for DJT. I see Gaetz, MTG, et.al, in that light, tossing out a few strategically placed MAGAs and KAGs, while totally ignoring Trump's actual words as to whom and what he supports. This exposes some very non-conservative agendas among the little darlings of the RINO-tossers who have only sought cover by falsely linking their antics to Trump, creating a false bandwagon for nothing more than GOP rock-throwing.

Anyone wearing masks at this point should be considered a potential armed robber. That's the way it used to be before Covid, and that's the way it should be now. Cover you face, we assume you're a violent criminal, and will be ready for you.

I reject the 'If you're not for Ukraine, you're in Putin's pocket' binary choice. Ukraine is going to lose. It's milking us of our ammunition, artillery, and funds. A third of its people have left. It's been a crooked place for politicians... with 10% for the Big Guy. Meanwhile, Putin has figured out how to use Iranian drones to win. Russia had Nazis--the Wagner Group. Ukraine has 'em, too. The Azov group. I don't see a black and white moral choice here. Are there nuances in the 'Radical Surrender Caucus'? I would think so. Are they the same as Tlaib, Omar, and Jamaal? Can't think so. But I'm pretty sure they aren't getting Russian, Ukranian, Iranian donations. It's always tempting to disagree with your own. But you first have to forget the bigger disagreements you have with the other side.

They voted against giving more money to Ukraine and against The Antisemitism Awareness Act which is the reigning in of free speech . These republicans and the democrats voted the same way but for different reasons.

Yes, let's save Hamas. The ones who steal all the relief supplies then when people come for them, shoot them dead. The ones who use their citizens as human shields. The ones who hide in hospitals to avoid being hit with weapon fire.

It seems to me that the core 'protesters' don't give a [feces] about Israel or Hamas. They are the same bunch of violent Thugs that riot at every opportunity. BLM, CHOK, "Saint" George Floyd, Hands Up Don't Shoot, Ferguson, etc. etc. etc. I read -a few days after it passed- that the bill trumpeted by the Media as 'Aid to Ukraine and Aid to Israel' also includes, deep in it's voluminous text, TWO BILLION EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO IMPORT GAZANS INTO THE USA. Yep, OUR Tax Dollars are to be spent importing into the USA these same troublemakers that NONE of the Arab countries -who share the same culture and Islamic religion- will accept. The Arabs are not stupid. They know that these people have been indoctrinated since birth with hatred for all Christians and Jews, and are nothing but trouble. But Chuck-the Schmuck Schumer and good ol' One Percent Joe wants to bring a BUNCH of 'em here. I ask: "What Could Go Wrong?"

I don't either #5. But that is what this article is about. The author is essentially saying you will support sending billions of dollars overseas for other people's wars, keeping the elite supporting military industrial complex humming along, keeping the archaic perpetual Cold Warriors happy, and you will line the pockets of corrupt politicians the world over with laundered US dollars or you aren't a real American. And all while ignoring our porous Southern border.

I agree with the author on everything BUT. We don't need any new laws to protect a portion of out society. The Antisemitism Awareness Act, was another 'feel good' vote that's already covered by a plethora of laws. Laws protecting gays, elderly, women, and the nebulous hate crimes are already covered, but are not applied equally. Had I been in Congress I would have said nae also.

"Campus Protests?" If, by that, you're referring to the pro-baby-killing, agitating, genocidal, info-mercials, organized by off-campus radicals, masquerading as protests, paid for by Soros, then I get it. Protests, not so much.

Bingo #9! Did antone read the article? It is a bait n switch, first documenting the plight of the Israelis facing the terror tots of the poison ivy league, then smoothly transitioning into a full throated condemnation of any pushback against thw unending unquestioned funding of the Ukraine debaceI Imeanwar. The author says we, and our Representatives, should shut up and pay up while the experts, which are he and National Recirw, set the war policy for the country. Which policy is, The More The Merrier. Sorry, homies.not biting on that. Oh! While also neutralizing MAGA stalwarts like Gaets and Green in favor of Gnat Review. No thank you.

The Alabama Supreme Court has authorized the execution of a death row inmate who previously survived after being given a lethal injection. The convict, Alan Eugene Miller, will now receive execution by nitrogen gas, the Washington Examiner reported. Alabama’s high court authorized the method in a decision Thursday. Republican Gov. Kay Ivey has not set the date for Miller’s execution. Once it’s carried out, Miller will become the second death row inmate to die by nitrogen gas in the state. However, the method has become controversial among liberal death penalty opponents. After being convicted of killing three men during a 1999 workplace shooting, Miller was set to die by lethal injection.

EV are quickly becoming a boomerang to the head of Leftists. I have reported on various backfires on EV, that should cause panic to the Green Weenie crowd.

Ellul Redux: Propaganda 2 replies

Less like a Fifth Column and more like a Third Reich, the Nouveau Nazis on and about college campuses (and elsewhere) need no new theories to explain their behaviors. Today’s Hamas-supporting Sturmabteinlung- and Schutzstaffel- wannabes are deaf to facts, but have preternatural hearing for propaganda and lies. Some wonder why the supposed “best and brightest” and their mentors/teachers/profs have pudding for brains. The product of affirmative action, academic administrative torpor, DEI, and grade inflation, these presumed smarties behave exactly as Jacques Ellul described years ago. Jacques Ellul (1912-1994) was a renowned French philosopher.[snip] He believed in the importance of decentralized, self-governing communities and the preservation of individual freedom and autonomy.

While there, she was attacked and knocked down by the neighbor's Doberman that went for her throat while she on the ground. Thankfully the bite occurred under her arm pit as she instinctively raised her arm to protect herself. The dog clamped down and shook her like a rag doll.

The prosecutors and judges in New York are utterly unhinged, an overly-obvious reality evidenced by the onslaught of lawfare against President Trump (in an election year no less) emanating from the state; but it’s not just Alvin Bragg, Arthur Engoron, and Letitia “Peekaboo” James using their offices and the courts to wage persecutory campaigns of political vendettas against those who don’t toe the establishment line, but Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and Judge Abena Darkeh, too. Aside from Mr. Trump, a bright and accomplished man named Dexter Taylor might be the second-most unfairly persecuted person currently fighting off bogus charges in the “justice” system.

A recent video shows a disabled girl confined to a wheelchair being bullied at her middle school. She’s taunted, struck, and tossed around. Those watching and videotaping giggle hysterically. It’s horrible. It also shows sociopathic behavior that is increasingly normalized in America, especially among blacks. This isn’t because blacks are inherently sociopaths. It’s because the Democrat party has deliberately stolen from them the societal institutions that create decency. Note: I am not saying that blacks are inherently criminal, sociopathic, stupid, or whatever other words a Democrat would put into my mouth. To say so—to say that negative traits, values, and behaviors are tied to skin color—would be deeply evil and racist.

Camps Intifada: Students for Theocratic Authoritarianism 13 replies

I’m old. So old that I still believe that classic Western liberalism is the best system for assuring prosperity and peace, and authoritarianism, particularly of a theocratic nature, is a disastrous governance style. Watching the encampments and riots on college campuses, I see that too many young people have missed this lesson and instead support violent, barbaric, theocratic authoritarianism. I think these participants are not representative of a majority of students or voters and that the weak responses of some universities bode ill for their futures. Moreover.

He’s been in the U.S. ever since in a bizarre legal limbo. He can’t qualify for citizenship and Cuba has refused to take him back, so he’s been stuck on “parole.” He remains here with only the barest of legal protections and cannot get a green card.

That did not, however, stop him from showing up at an early-voting location in North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2016, where he not only registered and claimed to be a citizen, but also
