    On on hand, I don't really see a plus side to being involved with Gaza. On the other, literally nothing else has worked for decades. Maybe this is an answer for it. Maybe it's just to get Israel to calm their tits, and get the Palestinians on the books for countries like Jordan , Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

    Maybe it's a good idea, and maybe it's a terrible one. I'm not saying I'm happy about it, but I'm also willing to wait and see how it goes considering the absolute pounding the Deep State in our country is taking right now. I'm somehow terribly surprised at how well it's going so far, and also not at all shocked that the way they've set up payment and laundering through NGOs was handled so... unprofessionally. That is... if you were trying to be sneaky and competent.

    I don't know, Jenni. I guess what I'm saying is I just don't feel like throwing flags in the first half of the game because, well... let 'em play. See where it's at when the dust settles.

    Hypothetically, if the US did give Israel direct military support to "wipe out" Hamas, and ethnically cleanse Gaza, do you think Israel would abruptly stop there and "behave"?

    If not, and it spilled over into a conflict with Iran, would that also be in US interests?

    If the idea is to establish this "Greater Israel", the Egyptian border is also then up for discussion.

    Technically, Israel would be supplying their Western allies with an abundance of "elite human capital" in return for our help, our coin and our spilled blood.

    It's a great deal! Mazal!

    I can't see how any sane person can view the US-Israel relationship as anything but totally corrupt. America does these things for Israel not out of any benefit for itself, as a nation, but because its politicians are bribed by various lobby groups and Israeli interest groups. It's that simple.

    Conservatives have no problem describing the West's relationship with Ukraine as one based purely on corruption, but can't/won't do the same with Israel.

    Again, while we are fooled by the dichotomy of "option A or B" electoral politics, nothing will change. I predict a massive wave of Middle Eastern migration to Europe under this Trump term.

    I think this needs a qualification: nothing has worked of what has been attempted, but that is only a part of what could have been attempted.

    not until now, but did you see this unbelievable shit? Combined with the above, they were clearly on the attack from all sides.

    Michael Shellenberger just exposed what many have suspected for years—Trump’s impeachment was a CIA-backed regime change operation. A so-called “whistleblower” from the intelligence community, with direct ties to USAID, was the one who kicked off the entire sham in December 2019. This wasn’t about upholding the law—it was about using the intelligence apparatus to remove a sitting president.

    This contained this little nugget:
    “Documents revealed that from 2024, under the Biden administration, Politico received approximately $9.6 million in funding over just over a year. This funding was distributed across various branches of the organization, though the exact purposes of these funds have not been publicly detailed by Politico or the government agencies involved
    And.... it being turned off meant that they could not process payroll monday. For those that don't know, government pays on the 1st and 15th of a month, and if that is a weekend the monday after. Many orgs with heavy gov ties mimic this model, and apparently Politico was so deeply entrenched it is also true for them.

    What this means more broadly is that the taxpayer has been funding their own psyop against themselves at levels even tin-foil-hat-donning conspiracy theory crowd will be shocked by.

    The deep state is scared shitless. Good.

    What's astonishing is that its only the beginning. Just wait till DOGE gets into CMS and the DOD. We need to make them cry harder, and continue to clown them for crying.

    If DOGE is taking heavy flak, its because they are over the target.

    True, and Muslims are allowed to lie to non-believers. As I remember from my over 35 years ago studies, a Muslim if he makes a deal with you, is obligated to keep it, but in all other areas, he is free to lie, especially if the lie will promote the spread of Islam.

    Another point to remember, Arabic is an ancient language that was never modernized and unless it’s changed in the last 35 years, is open to interpretation. That’s why when Yasser Arafat would give a speech, the western world would hear “The PLO only wants peace with Israel”, and the Arab world heard “We’ll have peace when Israel is wiped from the face of the earth”

    Recent revelations are nauseating:

    https://x.com/MilaLovesJoe/status/1887354846870970871

    America gives the Taliban $40 million every single week.

    That's $2.08 billion a year.

    Can you imagine giving $ 2 billion to terrorists while veterans sleep on the street?

    While North Carolinans sleep in tents in the snow?

    FEDERAL LABOR UNIONS are the ones who sued to BLOCK the Trump admin from offering federal workers buyouts, per Fox

    Union bosses are TERRIFIED that they're going to lose out on union dues as the federal workforce shrinks. That's what this is about.

    These unions just BARRED the 60,000+ federal workers who had already accepted the buyout from being allowed to make that decision.

    This is IN NO WAY favorable to federal workers. Why aren't they being allowed to make decisions for themselves??! Nobody is forcing them to take a buyout!

    Arrested, USDA Inspector Phyllis Fong, a 22-year Deep State operative, is one of the key players behind the artificial inflation of poultry and egg prices in the U.S. She ordered the culling of MILLIONS of healthy birds, using the FAKE excuse of “mutating bird flu.” But here’s the TRUTH: There was NO pandemic.
    Fong personally ordered mass bird exterminations in 2024, targeting farms in Colorado, Ohio, Arizona, Louisiana, and Nebraska. One case in Louisiana set the stage: a man (who DID NOT WORK on a poultry farm) was allegedly diagnosed with H5N1 after “finding dead birds” in his yard. The CDC then INVENTED a panic story, claiming 66 people were infected. Sources say that number is ENTIRELY FABRICATED.
    Before the media even blasted this FAKE OUTBREAK, Fong and Biden’s corrupt FDA sent teams of inspectors in full hazmat suits to Nebraska, ordering the instant killing of 600,000 birds. The farm owner—who recently tested his flock and found ZERO SIGNS of bird flu—REFUSED. But it didn’t matter. Fong had already signed off on the order, threatening him with $4 BILLION in fines and PRISON TIME if he didn’t comply.
    She thought she was untouchable. When Trump began cleansing the Deep State in January, she REFUSED TO LEAVE, publicly claiming Trump had “no authority” over “federal watchdogs.”
    The next day, KARMA STRUCK. Security FORCED HER OUT, delivering her straight to JAG investigators.
    Now you know why the price of eggs have shot thru the roof.

    Readers added context they thought people might want to know
    Ms. Fong was an Inspector General for USDA and was not a USDA Inspector.

    Ms. Fong was escorted out of her place of employment, she was not arrested.
    These evil pieces of dogshit will never be sufficiently compensated.

    JUST IN: Secretary of State
    @MarcoRubio
    has just informed USAID workers that he only needs 294 of them.

    There are 14,000 people who work at the agency.

    The DOGE Effect.

    USAID: Biden threatened to withhold a $1 billion USAID loan guarantee unless Ukraine fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company. Victoria Nuland funded the Ukrainian coup with USAID money. USAID is at the heart of the war between Ukraine and Russia.
    And The Royals remain detached, but not from your money: https://x.com/amuse/status/1887499537280905558

    USAID: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archwell Foundation received $13,004,470 from the government, but the IRS is restricting details about the source. Was it USAID? The foundation EIN: 85-2213963 funneled millions to other left-wing NGOs. Why does the US government need help from Meghan to give away taxpayer money?

    Implied, but not explicitly stated. Perhaps this will significantly disrupt the situation. No guesses on whether that's good or bad.
