The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The default stance among the majority of the Biden/Harris/Obama administration is unbridled Israel hate, with a soupçon of Jew-hate for good measure. That they are now taking a harder stance with Israel suggests that the careful balance between their new-found voting block in American Arabs, and their traditional -- and wealthy -- Jewish supporters has become less important, because they think the election is lost and they might as well get some Jews and Israelis killed, and help their best buddies in Tehran!

US gives Israel 30 days to address Gaza aid crisis, threatens to curb weapons supply

The White House has warned Israel it has one month to implement significant improvements to the humanitarian situation in Gaza or jeopardize the continued supply of US weapons, as US President Joe Biden’s administration toughens its stance weeks before the country’s presidential elections.
In a Sunday letter to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, obtained by The Times of Israel on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin lamented that the past several months have seen a significant deterioration in the amount of aid entering Gaza.

Whether that is true, or it is a fiction created by the United Nations and the NGOs that are dedicated to the destruction of Israel is moot. The Junta accepts all data that show Israel in a bad light...just look at the obscene numbers produced by the terrorists in Gaza! 80 Billion dead! Mostly women and children. And the decrepit toad in the oval office and his Jew-hating minions parrot those numbers uncritically.

The truth is that they want Iran to be a player in the region, and see Israel as an impediment to that. Pay no attention to the rabid, theocratic, genocidal maniacs in turbans, Iran is our friend! We can bring them into the family of nations. Or create another lawless region that will be a safe haven for every anti-Western terroroist group on the planet. Israel is the sheriff in the Middle East, and the Obama wing simply cannot abide that.

It is idiocy on a grand scale, or it is a calculated effort to destroy Israel, and complete Hitler's final solution. And with the (hopefully) impending loss of the presidency and the return of a pragmatic, Western-focused leader in Donald Trump, the time is now for an Iranian empire. Whatever the junta has planned will happen before January 20th...they have very little confidence that Chlamydia Harris and her pedophile sidekick Tampon Tim Walz will win.

Luckily the Israeli body politic has seen the light, and there is, at least for now, a calculated commitment to the safety and security of the state. That means no terrorists on its borders. And if that also means regime change in Iran and Lebanon, and a significant military presence in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, then so be it.

And to punctuate their renewed seriousness, Israel is busily investigating the real possibility that Yahyah Sinwar is now being buggered by 72 Virgins! It is another step in dismantling the Iranian presence on their borders, and is a clear signal that Israel will not stop.

But...they do not need American troops, and that missile battery manned by American soldiers is a disturbing change. Are they hoping Americans get killed so that support in America for Israel crumbles? Send munitions, and step aside and let Israel do the work of protecting the West.

I suspect the Dem party, as a whole, realizes that the numbers of people in their base who hate Jews, in general, and Israel, in particular, outweigh any amount of money they might receive from Jewish donors. I would not be surprised, the next time the Dems gain all levers of government, to see a bill floated to confiscate all Jewish wealth under the banner of fairness... to the thundering applause of millions... all of whom will, simultaneously, slander their opponents as Nazis.

18 "Members of Israel’s security cabinet have been informed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, a mastermind of the devastating Oct. 7, 2023 attack that triggered the Gaza war, is very likely dead, two officials with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

Two of Israel’s broadcasters, KAN and N12 News also cited Israeli officials as saying Sinwar was dead. The Israeli military said Sinwar may have been hit in an operation in the Gaza Strip that it said had targeted three militants."

26 If Sinwar is dead, there will probably be a negotiated settlement and end to the fighting in Gaza (but not Lebanon) shortly. This is because as the last senior leader left in Gaza, the psychopathic leader Sinwar was believed to be the number one obstacle to ever coming to any end to the war. His death may change everything, much like Hitker’s death in 1945.

yes, they apply pressure, but have not cut off arms, afaik. Same with this threat, no action now, promised action (to actually cut off arms) is after the election.

Of course maybe after the election (if they could win) they actually would get tougher, and they are holding back so as not to be seen as fully supporting terrorists against Israel. idk.

If she loses, they have just a few months, and maybe would not support the terrorists, idk.

DHS says it will also allow "any individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Lebanon" to apply for TPS.

DHS will also give relief to Lebanese students in the US on F-1 visas, which will allow them to apply to work, work increased hours, and reduce their schoolwork while maintaining their F-1 status.

155 CNN, What we're covering
• Israel’s military is investigating whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 massacre in Israel, was killed during a military operation in the Gaza Strip.
• Israeli sources said the military encountered a man believed to be Sinwar during a routine military operation. There were no signs of harm to hostages during the mission, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday.
• Meanwhile, the US has carried out airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen, targeting five underground weapons storage facilities. It’s the first time the US has used B-2 stealth bombers to attack the Iran-backed militant group since tensions spiked in the Middle East a year ago. A Houthis spokesperson said the US will “pay the price” for the strike.
• There have been no negotiations for a hostage release and Gaza ceasefire deal for almost a month, according to Qatar’s prime minister, who said that there was “silence from all parties.”

When McNair came along he put his money where his mouth was. I held season tickets for the first 0 years but the dead years approached and I bailed out. I recently saw the Texans were to only NFL that had no debt and was wholly owned by his son Cal McNair.

Traditional IR games played with a cloak of humanitarianism is my cynical view.

IMHO, Basically, disputes in other countries allow the US to play intermediator between those two states (or two factions within a country). That ensues gobs of cash sent to both sides, perhaps military aid made by US mfgs, endless employment for State Dept and other Deep State goons, intel opportunities and spending for the IC, etc. etc.

Same basic dynamic in Euroland during the Protestant-Catholic wars. Nations interfered in the internal politics of other nations (under the cloak of religion) and did it for money, fun, and glory as this often provoked idiotic wars and internal slaughters as one faction boosted by outside powers slaughtered the other faction.

Islam is a totalitarian politicial system masquerading as a religion, in order to give themselves social authority to crush all dissent. It's everything the Left has always strived to be, of course they are in awe of it.

338 the careful balance between their new-found voting block in American Arabs, and their traditional -- and wealthy -- Jewish supporters has become less important, because they think the election is lost and they might as well get some Jews and Israelis killed, and help their best buddies in Tehran!

—

I thinks it’s more like the Jewish votes will still be there regardless of what they do. But the Arab votes won’t be there if they don’t support Hamas.

And also Jewish votes are mainly in places where it doesn’t matter. Jews are predominantly in either deep blue (NY, CA, NJ) or deep red (FL, OH) states. It doesn’t really matter how they vote. But Arab votes are concentrated in Michigan and it matters a lot.

The one exception there is PA where there is a significant Jewish population. See point #1.

Wouldn't be a surprise if he came from pretty much anywhere now. We have a shell of local media that is all following the NYT/WaPo/AP narrative that comes out daily.

To be informed in this society, one has to read a bunch of different idiosyncratic sources and triangulate what today's 'truth' might be. Helps also to actually have background knowledge of past conflicts between the parties and who is the leadership of the sides.

Most people in the US are far too lazy to do that and most people in Euro land pay far too much attention to what the 'official' sources of news say. That includes a remarkable ignorance of the situation in the US derived from reading US news or their foreign derivative reporting on US news using those 'official' US sources of news.

Thus, the West's ruling class is made incompetent because they are misinformed when they are informed by consuming news media and non-informed on anything that the governing types don't want in the 'official' media.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at October 17, 2024 11:47 AM (DSrTv)

The Bloomberg interview on Tuesday was very important for Trump. He doubled down on tariffs, and made it clear that he'd impose 200% increases if necessary. The great thing was that Bloomberg is so invested in making Trump look as evil as possible it actually helps Trump, as it now looks to the world like he's just crazy enough to do it. They don't realize that they just helped him set his opening negotiating position, subject to change once the world comes begging him to not do it.

He constantly runs this play, and the MSM keep falling for it.

It was the utter disdain in her voice, and the anger from all of her surrogates, that a journalist would have the temerity to ask her a tough question for the first time in her life.

The unsaid is that none of the Dems are actually voting for her, they are voting for The Party because they have been told to. That's why they ignore everything personal about her.

The future will not be interrupted

Fox News’s Bret Baier wasn’t just trying to stop Vice President Kamala Harris’s words. He seemed offended at the notion that her vocal cords actually make sounds. He invited her voice on his show and was upset that it had a volume.

Last night’s interruptionism, elevated almost to an art form, is a metaphor for the state of the country because a minority of Americans like Baier, an encrusted old guard, wants to interrupt the future itself. But the future will not be interrupted.

A lot of money is made by the Bloomberg services types by tapping a vig on money going out and money coming in. Anything that disrupts that in favor on onshoring and making industries domestic again means that the big commissions derived from dollars going out and in go away.

Same reason that London's City financial district has an outsized effect in the UK. They rely on funds coming in and going out to make their vig. and the City, like NYC, are basically service industries built around the international flow of capital. Neither is built on invigorating and supporting national economies.

Did Hezbollah think they are continuing to breath for any reason other than Israel lets them?

Iran launched 150 missiles at Israel - no effect. This was at the guys who just decapitated Hezbollah with beepers, for fuck's sake. If I were Israel I'd make a new policy - for every single missile you lob at us we'll lob one back, and we'll see who wins that contest. In fact, I'd tell them, on this day, at this time we are going to launch a missile right back at you. ready? Okay!

Launch one right at Tehran, a big one. Have it burst over the city and drop candy in the streets. Just to clarify the situation.
