It is a giant shitshow, no idea what they are thinking. New AD did a magnificent job with NIL but this makes no sense. You guys beat us in a baseball thriller last night, play again tonight and tomorrow.

I beg to differ...if they hit us over Qasem Soleimani, they likely have the stones to hit Israel over an attack on their Embassy. I HOPE I am wrong.

Anyone watch FBI Director Wray's testimony yesterday on renewing FISA? "A coordinated attack on the U.S. is likely." He tried to say it without saying it, the border has let a lot of bad actors in and we are about to reap the outcome. The administration is now signalling Biden will come out with an executive order the end of April on the border so he can claim he fixed it...even though he has been saying he doesn't have that power for the past three years.

This is going to be a VERY dangerous weekend. Iran is VERY likely to strike Israel in the next 48 hours...the depth of that attack and Israel's response could very well light the tinderbox.

Exceptionally good at CDE, I believe at last count more than 50% of the munitions they have dropped do not have explosives. Do better in my context does not refer to combat operations, I would not trade a single Israeli life...however, they can probably find a way to make the refugee camps more viable. If nothing else it will help disarm some of the narrative against them.

Of course I know 1200 1410 Israelis have been killed since this latest conflict started, many more since 1948. At no point have I ever said "the hunger of the supportive population does not trump the security of the attacked population", AT NO POINT. The safety and security of Israel should come first, I have never wavered from that. However, you seem to be arguing Israel has no choice but to starve the population in order to defeat Hamas. If that is true why not advocate to take a flamethrower to the 68 refugee camps and end this once and for all? Lets just burn them all so there will never be another generation to fight Israel. Total victory right, Machiavelli for all my friends! Of course the WCK convoy was not intentional. Fratricide is a horrible outcome of war, having been personally brought up (and exonerated), on charges I might have a reasonable understanding of the implications. I do not believe we were wrong, but this is a different situation and a different time. Starving 68 refugee camps is not the same as trying to get a nation state to capitulate. Dropping Nukes on Japan saved countless American lives and likely saved many Japanese lives as well. You seem to be caught up in equivalence..."well johnny did it to me so I am gonna do worse to Johnny"...no. And lets be VERY clear, I have never said don't attack and clear Rafah, that must happen, but I am willing to bet there is a nuanced way to accomplish that goal. Obviously you are intelligent and I don't mean this to be an insult..I don't know your career background or MDS, but I am guessing it is/was support and you've never been on the kinetic front end, you've never killed someone, let alone hundreds of people. Turning humans into hamburger is not a puss game, I stopped counting when I got to 700. I have ZERO regrets, they were all bad people that meant harm to do harm to America and out Allies. That being said, I have zero desire to kill babies...if you think that is cool and just part of war, they have free will, good for you, whatever keeps you warm at night. I will always believe we are better than that and can find a way to defeat/destroy HAMAS without starving a bunch of innocent babies. Sadly, I have seen people like this in person. We are trained professionals who will execute combat to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, but that doesn't mean you have to trade your humanity in the process. That is what I have been trying to say by "do better." We have gone to EXTRAORDINARY lengths to limit CDE, that is NOT what I am talking about. All I am saying is in 2024 we can probably help find a way to defeat/destroy HAMAS, protect Israeli soldiers and civilians without starving a bunch of babies.

The facts and reporting would say otherwise. Fewer crossing points, random rejections, extended inspections. Also, Israel striking an aide convoy doesn't help the situation. Review your own statement...ETHICALLY. Again, they could do far more. I believe they have gone to great lengths but they can still do better...see aide convoy above. Not at all, I've read the reports from the ground, the number of crossing points, the number of trucks Israel lets through, the rejections without cause. Israel does not get all of the blame, but they certainly get some. Of course Israel would never do what Hamas has done.., see my they (we), are better that that argument above. However, if you are being intellectually honest you have to look at the situation holistically and over time. Since 1948 Israel has conservatively killed 66,000 Palestinians. Don't get me wrong, I know who the good guys are here but when viewing conflict it helps to view the history and the long game. If you believe the Palestinians had a choice when it comes to Hamas you truly don't understand what has happened there. Not saying they are right, but they are a complete pawn and victim of other interests and players. Again, Hamas is EVIL and MUST be destroyed. You are dead on to point out they want the casualties (which kind of proves my entire argument about having a choice), and intentionally placing civilians (and hostages), in, near and under targets has drastically increased the civilian casualties. Those facts are a sad fact of war and something that can't be helped. However, what is happening the with aid is a completely different story and if you pause to do a little research you will see BOTH sides hold some blame.

Incorrect: Guessing you didn't watch the entire segment - He said "Inflation today is about 40% of what it was when Joe Biden took office" His statement is categorically a lie. The US Monthly inflation rate the day Biden took office was 1.4%, one year later it was 7.5%. Inflation is in fact up 39% since Biden took office. Also: The Average YOY Inflation Rate under Trump was: 1.9% The Average YOY Inflation Rate under Biden is: 5.7%

Because we, and by extension, Israel, are better than that. To defeat Hamas you likely don't have to starve a bunch of kids to death. War is ugly, Total War is even uglier. Using your logic why we just green flag Israel to drop a nuke on Rafah and get it over nice, clean and quick. We were pretty upset after 9/11 but I didn't see us firebombing cities in Afghanistan. Innocents died, but we at least tried to be measured in our response and we most certainly did not purposely starve a population that was supporting the Taliban. Hamas started the current fight but I hope you are not so Naive as to think Israel has no dirt on their hands. I FULLY support Israel and their right to exist. I do not support Hamas in any way, shape, or form but Israel has also done some shitty things to the Palestinians through the years in the name of "survival". An actively supportive population is a very shallow argument given the living conditions, most have not choice. Not an excuse, but certainly a consideration.

Epic karma slap to a clown penis. While calling inflation stories misinformation he is interrupted by a live report that says inflation is up again. Also, this "Disinformation Czar" claims prices are DOWN 40% since Biden took over when in fact they are up 39%.

And Iran is threatening a "large, direct strike on Israel proper"...that should calm things down. Last night Uncle Joe caved to the left and called for a Cease Fire. Terrible situation, Hamas can not be allowed to survive, but you can't kill hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the process. More please!

The response from NPR - "NPR's chief news executive, Edith Chapin, wrote in a memo to staff Tuesday afternoon that she and the news leadership team strongly reject Berliner's assessment." This is the same leadership team that fired Juan Williams for being too conservative for their company, they even went on to call him "psycho."

I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust. A really good article I hope folks will take a moment to read. I grew up listening to NPR and the author, an admitted Sarah Lawrence–educated, raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, drives a Subaru, and his Spotify says his listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley - details how the network has failed to report accurately on three major news stories (Russia Collusion report, Hunter Biden Laptop, and The Origins of COVID), because it would have been beneficial to the GOP. He also describes how the network became activist after the George Floyd killing, making race and identity paramount to everything they did. Interestingly when he presented his story/argument to his colleagues the answer was "So what." NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law and that should end.

Another month another higher than expected inflation report...All that free money...As Biden attempts to buy younger votes with student loan forgiveness, inflation goes up. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% over the previous month and 3.5% over the prior year in March, an acceleration from February's 3.2% annual gain. Anyway, bonds are way up, the 10-year Treasury yield gained as much as 14 basis points on Wednesday morning, touching above 4.5% for the first time in 2024.

God forbid something happen to Biden, this cackling idiot would be in charge. Snapinsta.app_video_10000000_1459885318258555_514539122477196139_n.mp4

Department of State has a DUTY to plan a NEO for each and every Country that has an embassy...I understand there were other factors like all the Afghans that helped us, but to have zero plan to start from is a complete failure of leadership that goes directly to the top.

Brother it PAINS me to say the words vote Trump (kind of like having to choose between vomiting and Diarrhea), but his shot was not mandatory.

I think they did, its called Vote Trump.

Exclusive: State Department officials told House investigators they created Afghanistan withdrawal plans from scratch I would advise some not to read this article, if you have half a brain it will anger you beyond belief...completely inept. #FJB

US Secretary of State Blinken says Ukraine will be NATO member Digging out my old Flights suits...

Ex-ESPN host reveals ‘every single question’ in Biden interview was ‘scripted’ by network execs “It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next,'” Steele told Fox, adding that each question was “gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives.” “I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script,’” she said.

So you've been to K2...

- The laptop is fake, suppress it. - Biden never met with his son's business partners. - Biden met with business partners but didn't discuss business. - Those were loans. - Everyone who testified Biden was the brand is lying. - So what.

'I didn't do that': Biden says it wasn't him who designated Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility and calls Speaker Mike Johnson 'thoroughly uninformed' for his furious response.
