The Morning Report — 12/11/23

Good morning, kids. The most important thing about comedy, humor and farce, especially of the cultural or political variety, is that in order to be funny, there has to be at least a scintilla of truth to the skewering of the target. Since perhaps the era of the Clintons and for sure the coming of Obama, that's gone right out the window.

A, if not the, prime example of this is Saturday Night Live. Aside from the fact that it probably should've gone off the air 30 years ago for a number of other reasons, 100% of its content has violated the prime rule of comedy I stated. It is nothing more than a shameless, puerile, unfunny platform to slime, smear and attack anything that is a millimeter to the right of Leon Trotsky – with an "APPLAUSE" sign, purchased second hand from the guy who operated it for Josef Stalin, no doubt.

Beyond the absolute embargoing of any even mild digs at Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants for his groping of girls, dementia-driven gibberish, 50-plus years of bald-faced fabulism, corruption out the wahzoo, and shambling Roomba routine (to say nothing of the disastrous policies he and his ilk claim make him the greatest president ever), what they did this past Saturday, assuming they even have an audience, is not just disgusting, but frightening in its implications about whatever audience it does have.

This weekend, the show trained its satirical guns on the best target possible for a change – the three Ivy League presidents who shamed themselves and their institutions just days ago.
Tuesday’s Capitol Hill testimony from University of Penn President Liz Magill, Harvard President Claudine Gay and MIT President Sally Kornbluth shocked the nation. Each downplayed the antisemitism raging across their campuses, refusing to punish calls for genocide against the Jews.
Enter “SNL.”
. . . the NBC show’s hard-Left biases refused to hold the presidents accountable. Instead, the sketch mocked Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. who did nothing wrong save expose the trio’s moral rot for all to see.
“SNL” player Chloe Troast’s Stefanik screams her questions like a lunatic, for starters. The three college presidents appear poised in comparison. It’s the satirical version of, “Republicans pounce!”
If you had no clue about Tuesday’s testimony you might assume Stefanik was at fault, not the three academics whose only sin in the sketch is adoring diversity and the arts. And that’s likely what Team “SNL” wanted all along.
It gets worse. Stefanik uses up her allotted time in the sketch, but a colleague gives his slot to her so she can continue.

“I am here today because hate speech has no place on college campuses. Hate speech belongs in Congress, on Elon Musk’s Twitter, at private dinners with my donors and in public speeches by my work husband, Donald Trump.”
Ignore college students ripping down hostage posters. Look away as university professors praising Hamas. The real villains in the post-Oct. 7 world are Elon Musk and Republicans, according to “SNL.”

A couple of things to unpack here as the neurons are firing in 10 directions at once. First, Elise Stefanik I think is someone who might find herself in the short list pool of potential VP picks for Trump, which is something that I don't think was lost on the SNL hacks.

More importantly, all things being equal, Lorne Michaels and company have a right to put out whatever they want, regardless of consequences to their ratings. I have no idea what they are, but given the American public's shunning of Hollywood over the past 20 years, the boycotting of Disney, Target and other "woke" corporations, SNL's ratings have got to be in the shitter. But, to the propagandists in Hollywood and the media, it's a loss-leader that rides on its completely undeserved reputation as some sort of ox-goring, irreverent champion of the underdog. Bullshit; it's about as shameless a totalitarian propaganda mill as someone like Josef Goebbels could've dreamed up. They still need to maintain the illusion of its relevance.

As friend and friend of the blog Christian Toto posits "If you had no clue about Tuesday’s testimony you might assume Stefanik was at fault, not the three academics whose only sin in the sketch is adoring diversity and the arts. And that’s likely what Team “SNL” wanted all along." It's also likely that that is what the fools at 30 Rock were banking on; that their audience indeed had no clue about the hearing because all the other allied propaganda organs of the junta embargoed or otherwise spun it in the typical "Republicans pounce!" manner. That and the typical SNL viewer is like so many braindead American youth and marching with the "Einsatz-groupies" of Hamas.

But the good news is that there has been a reaction to the eruption of naked, ugly Jew-hate here in America and particularly in what used to be considered bastions of liberalism and tolerance that historically are home for just that reason to American Jews. Obviously, it has been in the main from Jews themselves. Yet, given the deeply-ingrained, reflexive proclivity of the aforementioned to vote for Democrats because of generational stereotypes of who and what each political party and movement had represented, can the scales fall from the eyes to see that this is not your parents' and grandparents' Democrat Party (if that even truly existed in the first place [and it didn't])?

As a social media and Facebook lurker, I find it most interesting that so many of my friends and acquaintances are shocked – Shocked!!! – about the open and sometimes violent anti-Semitism on campus. But where they fuck were they for the past God-knows how many years with the open anti-Americanism, anti-western civilization and all the rest of it that the nation's youth have been poisoned with going on nearly three generations? This was not shocking?

Who knows, maybe this will be the long-awaited wakeup call, as we discussed with Harry Stein on the latest episode of the podcast.

Yet, given the latest SNL atrocity, the jury is out.

The aftermath of the October 7 attack in Israel has sheared the supposed Progressive alliance.
In Oakland public schools, on Dec. 6 of this year, teachers defied the warnings of the school district superintendent and conducted a “Teach-In for Palestine,” with a complete curriculum for K through 12 students.  Billed as an effort to give students “counter-narratives” on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the teach-in was initiated by a subset of members of the Oakland Education Association teachers’ union called “OEA for Palestine” and was later endorsed by a vote of the full membership of OEA.  The curriculum makes no mention of the Oct. 7 attacks or Hamas’s role in the conflict.  This is unsurprising, as in November, the OEA passed a resolution that placed full blame for the conflict on Israel.
The fracture lines have deepened over the last several years.  In 2012, QUIT! (Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism!) launched a boycott of Cliff’s Variety, an independent local hardware store in San Francisco’s Castro District, over the store’s carrying SodaStream products made by an Israeli company in its West Bank factory.  In Chicago in 2017, the organizers of the 21st Annual Dyke March ejected three marchers carrying “Jewish Pride” flags — rainbow flags with Stars of David in the center — because the flags “made people feel unsafe,” explaining that the march was “anti-Zionist” and “pro-Palestinian.”
. . . The fractures have not only shown the hollowness of “allyship” with Jews.  Fissures have caused splits in the LGBT community, the women’s rights movement, and the African-American community. . . Women’s rights groups have been similarly impacted.  Transgender ideology has been used to bludgeon women like author J.K. Rowling and swimmer Riley Gaines into silence about the biological aspects of female identity.  Women’s rights activists accepting of transgender ideology denounce feminists who reject the rigidities of that ideology as “TERFs” (trans-exclusionary radical feminists).
Closing the circle to the Oct. 7 attacks, many women’s rights groups in the “intersectional alliance” such as Planned Parenthood, the Women’s March, and National Organization for Women remained largely silent about the sexual atrocities committed by Hamas and its allies against Israeli women and children.  The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, or U.N. Women, took two months to notice these crimes.  Even media outlets like BBC News and NBC News waited until after their own “investigations” to say they had “heard evidence” of the rapes or that evidence “suggests” that Hamas committed sexual atrocities, despite the overwhelming evidence the rapists livestreamed to the world during their own acts. . .
. . . The appearance of unity relied on unquestioning conformity and unswerving loyalty to a subset of the groups in the “intersectional alliance,” based less on identity and more on an ideological imperative to remake society in the image of the Progressive ideal.  Many members of the alliance have now woken up to the reality that while they may have been allies to the “woke community,” the community has never been an ally to them.

There is no doubt that there are substantial holes in the dyke (pun intended) of these Democrat-Leftist groups. As every policy collapses in and around the Junta, it's these groups that are left in the rubble, and they're pissed off. The opportunity is connecting the dots between their suffering and misery and the party and movement they've supported. This means exploding the myth that America as founded, free market capitalism and conservatives are the cause of it. That's a huge challenge given who still controls the media and academia as well as the dearth of cultural and political voices that can articulate the truth and make it stick.

But the opportunity is there. And if that fuse is ever lit, everything else will be lit.

29 Abu Obeida, the Hamas Spokesman, didn't just release a video, he was allowed to appear at a pan-Arabic conference in Kuwait, where he repeated his threat that Hamas will execute all remaining hostages if Israel does not call off the attack.
As if he thinks this will make Israel stop rather than make them even more determined than ever to annihilate Hamas.
It is likely that many of the missing hostages are already dead; the specific reason that the hostage release broke down was because Hamas said it didn't know what happened to the final missing 17 woman and 2 children, a very bad sign.

38 Since 2009, Indian and American teams have scoured the mountains in India’s north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, looking for the wreckage and remains of lost crews of hundreds of planes that crashed here over 80 years ago.

Some 600 American transport planes are estimated to have crashed in the remote region, killing at least 1,500 airmen and passengers during a remarkable and often-forgotten 42-month-long World War Two military operation in India. Among the casualties were American and Chinese pilots, radio operators and soldiers.

The operation sustained a vital air transport route from the Indian states of Assam and Bengal to support Chinese forces in Kunming and Chunking (now called Chongqing).

I have, or at least had, a friend who was a cameraman for NBC and worked SNL. Big lib but affable, if not clueless. Without getting political, I told him the show hadn't been funny for years. He said "Well, kids today have a different sense of what's funny."

My response was "When we were kids, I found Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and the Stooges funny. And that was decades after their time. Either something is or isn't funny, regardless of the era."

He had no response, bless his heart. Sigh.

46 It will take a miracle for any of the remaining hostages to be recovered alive, given these threats; and again, this was one of the biggest justifications for the now ended cease fire which freed 110 of them. There has never been any realistic chance that any of them could be rescued; what is far more likely is that any that still survive will be executed as IDF forces close in on their position. (which is what happened to Sahar Baruch)

75 The American Spectator article "Achieving Victory" isn't bad; but it still shows how American sources are just barely beginning to grapple with the on the ground reality of what is evolving there. (We discussed this here a bit yesterday on CBD's thread.

the Spectator writes, concerning post-war Gaza:
"Similarly, after the victory, the deep support for Hamas among Gazans poses the enormously difficult problem of creating a postwar liberal and peaceful place like post-World War II Germany and Japan."

There is not going to be any "liberal and peaceful place" created, because the idea of doing such a thing would be laughable if it wasn't so stupid. Israel is preparing to enforce a harsh military occupation which will probably last at least 5 years, while they kick the UN out of Gaza completely. Terror attacks will stop because the IDF is going to tear apart every single house and structure in the entire strip searching for weapons; this is already being done in all areas they control (a reason it appears to be moving slowly)

Because of Gazans support for Hamas, it truly now will be turned into the large, open air prison camp that they had been claiming it was.

I find your take on SNL to be pretty spot on. That dinosaur comedy show stopped being remotely comedic around 2005 or so. And given the typical lefty grasp of sophisticated humor - most wouldn't understand Monty Python, classic SNL, Kids in the Hall or SCTV - their perplexed confusion over why normal Americans don't laugh at the sophmoric name calling they think is comedy, shows how unsophisticated they are, despite their lofty thoughts of themselves in comparison to the plebs.
And of course, DC based Republicans always seem to buy in to the unrealistic and unfair portrayal of themselves and their voters. The GOP ends up being too busy trying to fit in with the social scene, instead of defending us. And need I say it? That's another big reason we have Trump. And God Bless him! He speaks up for normal American and calls out the liars on the Left and their enablers on the Right.

If Big Tech sets their communicators on "get Big Bird," they'll be out in the streets burning Sesame Street merchandise, threatening and beating kids who wear it, sporting signs saying "Stop Giving Our Kids The Bird," "Red States + Yellow Bird = Orangeman," "Elmo Is a House Muppet," and so on.

95 Good morning, and thanks for the MR, Mr Sefton.

I don't recall "feminist" groups condemning any kind of abuse of women in the world, except in the US. Crickets concerning FGM, female sex trafficking, etc. It's only "West is BAD!" "Abortion always and at any time!" "Children are a BURDEN!"

I'm not surprised by their silence surrounding the rape atrocities of Oct 7.

98 75 There is not going to be any "liberal and peaceful place" created, because the idea of doing such a thing would be laughable if it wasn't so stupid. Israel is preparing to enforce a harsh military occupation which will probably last at least 5 years, while they kick the UN out of Gaza completely. Terror attacks will stop because the IDF is going to tear apart every single house and structure in the entire strip searching for weapons; this is already being done in all areas they control (a reason it appears to be moving slowly)

Because of Gazans support for Hamas, it truly now will be turned into the large, open air prison camp that they had been claiming it was.

It also nothing more or less than all official comedy in a totalitarian system. The real jokes - uniformly though not universally dark - come from real people, and so all real comedy is on the street and often very subtle.

The monarchs were better. Unlike the totalitarians, the monarchs understood that *somebody* had to tell them if they were naked. The court jesters did this job. Even if others would be murdered for saying the emperor was naked, the jester would not. The totalitarians want *nobody* to tell them they are naked, and the death penalty for doing so is universally imposed.

I doubt it, though we will see. A small but vitally important subset - wealthy and generous Jews - is threatened by the developments within the Party. So far, that's all it is. Will these people break ranks and leave the Party? I doubt it. I suppose we will see over the next year.

In terms of a voting bloc, the Jews aren't particularly important. They're a rounding error nationally and in their strongholds, they probably can't overcome the other blocs and the vote-counters. But they are very important in terms of money and give generously to the Party and its various affiliated (formally or otherwise) organs. Their cash and networks are what matters, not their votes.

It's a good point - the Monarchs always had an eye towards their long term survival, even though they wanted to control things. (that's why they hung around so long) But today, groups like Hamas are just the most extreme expression of the nihilist left's mindset - they are all locked in a Suicide Cult, with not thought whatsoever as to how they are going to survive any of this. Probably explains why they are so locked in on destroying Western civilisation, and humanity in general.

They are going to be destroyed, because they themselves will insist on it. It's just a question of how much damage will be done to the rest of us while they do it.

BREAKING: Gunman at large after killing two in Sion, Switzerland
MFM report, incl. typos.
||A spokesperon for the Swiss Ferderal Police said: "On Monday, December 11, 2023, a person fired several shots at people in two different locations in the city of Sion. On Monday morning, shortly before 8am, a yet-to-be-identified man in Sion shot several people for unknown reasons.

A number of shots were fired at the Sarosa painting company in the Ronquoz area, Le Nouvelliste has reported. A man who works nearby told 20 Minutes he heard several shots at the painting shop shortly before police swiftly cordoned off the area.

Switzerland has high levels of gun ownership among nationals, with around two million people privately owning them - but the country has not seen a mass shooting since 2001, when a man stormed the local parliament in Zug, murdering 14 people before turning the gun on himself.

The National Rifle Association says Swizterland has one of the lowest murder rates in the world.||

218 I found this odd. For Military Appreciation Night this past weekend, the Colorado Avalanche featured a woman with her service dog. During Desert Storm this individual was injured in a forklift accident in S. Korea, treated and recovered. After leaving the military, she developed breast cancer and had double mastectomy. Later she was in a collision with a drunk driver and eventually was diagnosed with PTSD and could not enter a public space such as a grocery store until she got her service dog.

Sad story, but it seems an odd choice for Military Appreciation night. Her military service seems like the LEAST traumatic time of her life.

I spent 13 years in the Army and would never claim victim OR hero status. I was never in harm's way. There are so many combat veterans more deserving of acclaim than I. YMMV

231 The National Environmental Policy Act is the biggest legal threat to American progress in space. The law requires the government and private entities to assess how certain large construction projects will affect the environment. This sounds sensible, until you learn that the production of an environmental-impact statement—the highest standard of NEPA review—delays a project an average of 4.5 years.

233 218 I found this odd. For Military Appreciation Night this past weekend, the Colorado Avalanche featured a woman with her service dog. During Desert Storm this individual was injured in a forklift accident in S. Korea, treated and recovered. After leaving the military, she developed breast cancer and had double mastectomy. Later she was in a collision with a drunk driver and eventually was diagnosed with PTSD and could not enter a public space such as a grocery store until she got her service dog.

Sad story, but it seems an odd choice for Military Appreciation night. Her military service seems like the LEAST traumatic time of her life.

I spent 13 years in the Army and would never claim victim OR hero status. I was never in harm's way. There are so many combat veterans more deserving of acclaim than I. YMMV

The fact she seems to have gotten cancer young, and we know how mil service seems to be a nexus for cancer would be good enough for me to celebrate her as the star...I mean, not all injuries and pain are committed by the enemy...

234 Alex Jones was a big reason Trump got elected. Perhaps critical to the effort. Not sure he could've done it without him, and that, of course is why the Party set its phasers on "annihilate" for him.

For that one thing, he did this country a huge service.

Jones is a kooky conspiracy theorist, but the theories he has are often correct. He made it his mission to tear the mask off the evil cabal running the Western world. And, amazingly... he actually *did.*

There are now millions of people who can never unsee what they saw during the Trump years. That bell is rung.

SNL had three great peaks where it made truly memorable comedy, but each was lower than the one before. First was the original cast, of course - this made the careers of Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Jane Curtain, Gilda Radner, and of course Jon Belushi. (Chevy Chase only lasted 1 year and was never actually very funny) The second peak was the Jon Lovitz/Phil Hartman/Chis Farley era, which was almost as good as the first. This ended with the deaths of Hartman and Farley. Third was the Norm McDonald/David Spade era.

After they left, it has been a long unbroken slide into humorless obscurity.

Look my personal visceral distaste for Trump is not inferior to theirs, I just understand what politics is and why most normal decent people try to avoid it like Napalm girl from Vietnam avoids the sound of piston driven aircraft.

Backing Trump versus the donks is business not personal, in the sense that politics is the art of convincing one's self to endure idiocy to prevent greater idiocy.

The "I am the most moral being on the planet and I demand that people celebrate and cleave to my moral perfection" bent in the right punditry is either Obama level egocentrism or a con and demand to get paid.

“The pilot ejected the aircraft. The pilot has been recovered by Republic of Korea Maritime Forces, awake and in stable condition,” the statement said, adding he would be evaluated further back at base.

“We are grateful for the safe recovery of our Airman by our ROK Allies and that the pilot is in good condition,” said Colonel Matthew C. Gaetke, the 8th fighter wing’s commander, according to the statement.

294 >>More importantly, all things being equal, Lorne Michaels and company have a right to put out whatever they want, regardless of consequences to their ratings.

OK, JJ, this is so much bigger than the ratings of a Boomer comedy show.

During the 2008 election cycle NBC perfected the merging of SNL with MSNBC and the DNC. Each week they did a sketch mocking Palin on Saturday night. Then, Sunday and Monday, each MSNBC show featured the skit in each hour (or half hour) segment for the full day, touching off a 2 minutes of hate by each respective host and DNC guest(s). It was the perfect entertainment-propaganda-hitjob machine. Following the election, Tina Fey was rewarded with the Mark Twain award for her huge part in destroying Palin.

That's what SNL became back in 2008: the DNC's Two Minutes of Hate fodder disguised as "comedy." As you recognized, what they do is evil, they are there to tell the mob who they should hate a destroy, whether it's a candidate, Fox host, SCOTUS justice, whatever. This stopped being about entertainment and rating 15 years ago.

Gee, shocking. Prices and interest went up together. Hello catastrophic payment increase.

It will break. Inventory is holding up price. It won't do so once sales are compelled for whatever reason (unemployment and relocation are the strong probabilities). Look out below once forced sales start happening.

Yes, individual markets vary and always will, but the macro theme is primed for a major housing decline. This will not be a bad thing for most. It will be a very bad thing for the over-extended and the banks.

As you allude, that never happened. And it's the analogy to the free speech on campus. I would not object to allowing the pro-terrorists to speak ONLY if pro-American, Israeli, western and Christian voices are accorded the same rights. They obviously are not.

Only if they want to do it (probably) in the next 12-18 months. After that, it won't matter.

Sure, they'll have to pay 8%. Or even 10%. Who knows where rates will be then. But the price will probably have come down and so their payment will be more or less what they were expected - although the down payment will get a lot smaller. In practical terms, they will benefit from the coming decline despite paying more for the money.

@MichalSabra
HORRIFYING!! Students @Penn gathered today chanting “We want Jewish genocide” and claimed all Israelis massacred by Hamas on October 7th were legitimate targets of resistance.

Community Note: This video misrepresents a common rally chant of: " __, __, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide."

Here is an example from 2014 where it was used to protest against ISIS - "ISIS, ISIS, You Can't Hide, We Charge You With Genocide!"

Well so far, GOPers and Stefanik are celebrating getting college leaders canned based upon her interpretation.

Yelling "intifada" or "from the river to the sea" is the same thing as saying kill all Jews.

tell me how getting rid of the Jewish state equals genocide? It doesn't. It doesn't even call for a Palestinian state. It just says Palestine will be free. Now people can think it does and on both sides I am sure they do. But the words themselves don't actually call for genocide and they don't actually call for a Palestinian state.

Insurrections have consequences. If not for the attack on our precious democracy that fateful day, these costs would not need to be paid. The shock of coming so close to tyranny has destroyed much motivation and activity, and made the future much more uncertain.

We must heal from January 6th, and as those responsible for it are punished, this can continue to begin. Until the architects of that attempted coup - chief among them the multiply-impeached and disgraced former executive - are punished, we should expect more of this kind of decline.

Only once the guilty are punished can we can truly progress beyond the current existential crisis where our democracy hangs in the balance.

Now people can think it does and on both sides I am sure they do. But the words themselves don't actually call for genocide and they don't actually call for a Palestinian state.

I'll take the other side of it. Post-Powell, all bets are off but while he's there, I take the other side of the bet. He has shown that he is a Fed traditionalist. Under him, the Fed has done what it has always done. It plays politics until the last possible moment, then steps in to defend the dollar and tells the government to fuck off.

Besides, Powell can't move rates down. He could reduce the discount rate and monetize treasuries, but that won't make the rest of the interest rates follow suit. Much is pinned to the T rates, but that can change - and it will change if the Ts are repressed beyond the wider market.

One of the most humorous parts of the Michigan polls is that Michigan moslems, who are far more numerous than they ever should have been, are absolutely refusing to support Biden. They don't support Trump, of course, they are just dropping out completely.

This is why I think it is so perfect that Jewish Senators such as Schumer are still publicly proclaiming Biden's support for Israel. It is driving a huge fracture through the heart of the Dem Party that they cannot mend.

Yes, and as the DNC email hack showed, MSNBC and other print/tv MSM outlets are actively coordinating with the DNC - letting them review their drafts, incorporating the DNC's talking points, weaving their policies into skit/episode/movie plots. The analogy to "free speech" on campus might be the Oberlin student protests against the local bakery led and coordinated by an administrator -- they were acting as an arm of the institution, and enjoying full protection in return.

So you really can't look at SNL as a standalone - but instead, recognize its role in the overall DNC messaging machine. It's not charity, it gets tax breaks and government benefits it gets in return.

386 one last note on Israel - the IDF now believes that Hamas has less than 1000 usable missiles left, down from well over 10,000 before Oct 7. (which they admit was far more than they had ever estimated Hamas having) And Hamas is now in the final "use it or lose it" predicament, so there will be firings until ground forces achieve total control.

The reason these missiles have been so hard to destroy is that the IDF has found that, literally, every mosque, every school, every hospital, every clinic, and every UN building in all of Gaza was stocked full of ready to fire Hamas missiles. (they have released pictures of captured stockpiles) Accordingly, the IDF is well on its way towards capturing and/or destroying every mosque, every school, every hospital, every clinic, and every UN building in all of Gaza. But you can see why this takes quite a bit of time.

A UN commissioner was complaining bitterly a couple days ago that Israel has now destroyed over 80 UN facilities located inside Gaza.

And yes, the UN did. The UN is a major part of the government of Gaza. It is subordinate to and works for Hamas but nonetheless comprises a big piece of the state system there.

Because the UN acts as the government's administrators. And because Gaza doesn't have an economy and is an almost perfect welfare state, the government has a lot to administer.

The development the house I grew up in was intended to be a lower-middle-to-true-middle class housing development just outside of the rich people's development.

But then more and more and more expensive houses and townhouses started getting built all around that neighborhood, surrounding it on all sides.

That has driven prices up too, not just the inflation.

>Again: The Quaker Consortium is an arrangement among three liberal arts colleges, Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, and Swarthmore College, and one research university, the University of Pennsylvania, all located in the greater Philadelphia area.

>Phila. Inquirer, December 8th: In sit-ins at Swarthmore and Haverford, students push for cease-fire in Gaza. Students say they won’t leave administration buildings until their demands are met.

Long before Oct 7th, 2023, certain exclusive Philadelphia area colleges have had student strikes & sit-ins against Israel, demanding divesture. Now it's more exposed but it won't stop. It's DNC/Biden territory & much more than ever will be given away to sway youthful voters.

Stand with Israel. Free ALL Hamas hostages & bring the evil who planned and participated to justice.

Watched Caroline Glick's video again. Besides Finkelman, she said Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, head of IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate, were responsible for the failure.

429 I think the reason Hunter Biden is finally being indicted is so that he can take the 5th if/when Congress calls him to testify about his daddy's corruption. Why he wasn't indicted SOONEr, sure, that has to do with the election. But why he has been indicated NOW, is to save daddy's bacon.

435 This is the beauty of Trump and why so few still even try to understand him as he is three steps ahead of folks who live in 'literalville'.

"Hannity himself failed to understand the response. “That’s not retribution,” he pleaded. Except it is. Trump doesn’t see the ultimate enemies as individuals, whether its Chris Wray, Jim Acosta, Chuck Schumer, or even Rosie O’Donnell. Those are just the agents of America’s enemies. The enemies themselves are the multinational corporations and what they stand for. That’s why closing the border and drilling for energy independence is retribution, in Trump’s mind."

436 Dead thread I guess but anyway -a lot of the skits SNL did in the so called best years were not funny either. I remember catching part of an episode of it when I was in Houston around 1975.
I think it was always over rated -they did have some funny moments, but not near as good as it is remembered.
Monty Python was very hit and miss also. Like both shows but there were a lot of dull moments. Bulushi was okay and sometimes funny - but some of his stuff was just puerile. "Look I'm a zit" spews whip cream all over cheerleaders from his mouth. Fummy for four year olds I guess.

437 Woah! I'm reɑlly digging the template/theme of this
site. It's sіmρle, yet effective. A lot of times it's very hard to
get that "perfect balance" between useг friendliness and aρpearance.

Ι must say that you've done a very good ϳob with this. In addіtion,
the blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome. Excellent Βlog!
