“Understanding things which everybody understands” is pretty much the definition of Common Sense, which had been in dying an slow and torturous death until Trump came crashing through the gates and started yelling for everybody to wake the hell up, and knock off the nonsense.
UTWEU, common sense, is the framework of a society’s culture. Yeah, the same culture that is slowly eroding away in this country. The same culture that is the primary target of the Democrat Party and its Ult-Left globalist bosses. It is interesting that the leadership of this effort seems to follow the patterns of the Mafia, and now the cartels. Gee, does that indicate some sort of kinship?
Remember how the Mafia held power by “buying off” local crime control? Every time I see Chicago’s Johnson, or Illinois’ Pritzker, California's Newsom, NYC Mamdani, Boston’s mayor, the mayor’s of Portland and Seattle, etc., the resemblance to Mafia, hence criminal, domination of society. In all the criminal “busts” in history, it is opposition forces led by Federal leadership, the FBI, that led the charge. Trump is not the original Mob buster, he has plenty of history to encourage his efforts.
Trump is not a mob buster, he is a mob capo and he reports to several mob bosses spread throughout the country with locations in NYC, NJ, L.A., Chicago, L.V. and none of them are Italian.
That is unadulterated horseshit. If he was a leader of the scum in America, why would they spend political capital trying to destroy him. Your supposition is right out of MSNBC, ABC (Disney), NBC, CBS, and CNN bullshit.
The Mob has not been Italian for a long time. Proof is the domination of the Italian Mafia by the corporate Mobs in Vegas. The “Corleones” were forced out decades ago.
Just because you take a different, and less informed view does not make my comment unadulterated bull shite, dude. Is he the leader of the USA? That is open for debate. They spend political capital on destroying him because that's what the Democrats do, duh! In addition, shutting or slowing down the dissemination of tax payer funds to democrat/progressive funding of all the chaos is one bright spot in a very cloudy picture emanating from Wash. D.C. under Trump. Those savings are offset and dwarfed by the money he sends to Ukraine and Israel to maintain the war for Great Israel colonialism and the theft of scarce resources. So, you reference a movie mob family to make what point, JAZ, that the Italians like everything else is now run by the Jews in Vegas? How is that a benefit to American? You are like a blind man looking for a black cat in the dark.
JohnAZ, I agree with you. Trump isn't smart enough to be a mob boss. Ol' Trumpster is a delusional narcissists of top quality. Completely enamored with his own personality and vision of his greatness. While he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize - he is the clear winner of the Nobel War Price. Frankly, he is an embarrassment to the U.S. and destroying whatever is left of the American Hegemony as quickly as possible. This is not going to end pretty.
Look around Phil, it is already there, evidenced by 36% of Alberta’s actively working to get the hell out of Ottawa’s Canada. And growing. You have been ignoring the discord in your own country.
👍👍 We are in the midst of football season, so it seems a football analogy can be used for the 12 year period of Trump - starting in 2016. In the first half (2016-2020) Trump was sabotaged by a combination of Democrats and Republicans. Despite this, he still had many meaningful accomplishments, though was expelled from the White House in 2020. Then began halftime, during which great coaches analyze what happened in the first half and prepare for the battle in the second half.
It is clear that the Trump team used those four years to fully dissect the first half and prepare a battle plan for the second half. Based on the first nine months of Trump’s second half it is quite clear that his battle plan is exceptional and is being implemented with precision and strength by a far more capable cast of characters than before. His Democratic opponents have been exposed as corrupt and incompetent, leading to the upcoming demise of the entire Democratic Party, if we are lucky! Good bless President Trump.
Excellent analogy. In the long run, the stolen election of 2020 will prove to be a monumental blunder by the left, as it gave Trump to regroup and come back 100x stronger.
These are interesting days and I'm enjoying every one of them.
Ben, the growth of homelessness in California is an indicator of the decline of domestic America. Our economic situation has been so mismanaged by the Deep State that it is in middle of the road decline. The ultimate question of the rest of Trump’s reign will be what do we do with displaced people, people that no longer fit into the progressive high tech future that is increasing its grip daily, even with Trump. He is trying to use tariffs to create a demand for labor here, AKA, re-industrialization. Look around, is the re-industrialization creating new jobs, or locations for AI and robotics? Like Covid, Trump is getting some really bad advice from some really evil people. It was his weakness in admin.1 and I believe it is an Achilles heel for admin. 2. I am, as everyone knows, a TAS folk, but no one is perfect. He is still a magnitude of order better than the present alternatives.
America’s future depends on legitimate job creation for Joe Average, not the legions of nerds invading our economy. You will be able to measure the American progress or decline by watching the job market and the homelessness rate. Screw the screeching weirdos and the haters.
" Like Covid, Trump is getting some really bad advice from some really evil people. It was his weakness in admin.1 and I believe it is an Achilles heel for admin."
This is obvious, imo, though I'm not certain how many others see it. Perhaps (and quite possibly) he needed to make some compromises to get back in the position. Some of those compromises are the people of whom you speak.
I'd get a new gatekeeper, likely a difficult maneuver to pull off. If successful and done well, a different group of voices will be heard. Accomplishing it is fraught with risk.
I agree. Everyone like-minded should show up in force at the Indivisible hoopla this weekend. Not to use force just to show up and stare them down. Indivisible ruined my village. I am bitter.
His biggest ‘sand in the gears’ policy impediment is coming from Communist District Court judges. All his EOs have been thoroughly legally vetted and his use of current law likewise passes Constitutional muster. I believe these rogue judges need to be brought to account. Much sooner than later.
On October 9, 2023, Hamas offered to return all 251 hostages, but Israel chose to level Gaza, killing an unknown number of those hostages in the process. This should tell you something about the moral disposition of Netanyahu.
In the immediate aftermath of Oct. 7, Netanyahu said that a full investigation of the failings of the IDF that allowed such a raid would happen--after the war was over. This should tell you something about Israel's culpability in this false flag operation, and the real goals of Israel in allowing it.
Reviewed the CNBC article. NO mention of Israel refusing hostage return in October 2023. Why post a link that does not even remotely support your position? Not effective in changing minds or hearts. Try harder.
Well said, Phil. Cherry pickers abound on the blog.
Yeah, the hostage release was offered in order to get 10s of thousands of Hamas fighters released including convicted murderers and rapists. Bibi said no. It was part of another ceasefire agreement allowing Hamas to re-arm. So was the release of the 10s of thousands of Hamas soldiers.
Because of your genetic predisposition to Tribal mentality, you will never be able to understand the evil Israel has done, nor will you ever be able to admit to such genetic predisposition in the first place. Tribal supremacy under the guise of national threat. Nationalism for me but not for thee (my tikkun olam morality says you must import every incompatible ethnic tribe in the world, especially mine). The whole mindset is some vile permutation of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Nonsense which totally ignores and excuses the events of October 7th. The hostages should never have been taken in the first place, nor should they have been held for so long. hamas could have returned them at any time. Netanyahu didn't force hamas to take the hostages or to keep them. The fact his negotiation skills and tactics sucked, hamas didn't have to kill or torture the hostages. Blaming Netanyahu for this is moronic.
Facts matter. The murder ratio between Hamas and Israel is 1:10.
Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, approximately 10,712 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces or settlers, according to data from B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization.
Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, Palestinians killed approximately 1,106 Israelis, according to data from B’Tselem.
Neither Iran nor any of its proxies are in the top 10 terrorist groups worldwide going backe many years. Your perception of this is deeply flawed.
Murder ratio? As if wars should all be balanced on both sides?
The deterrent to war is that you might get wiped out and lose your land. This is one of the primary reasons that keeps nations from attacking one another.
Israel has been extremely restrained in its response, considering that not long ago, any country that committed such a heinous act would have been completely taken over and every citizen put to the blade.
Most ME countries were secretly hoping that would be the case here, as they know the true nature of Palestinians.
Yes, this is Jewish law as per Deuteronomy. After Mohammad had defeated one Jewish tribe, he asked a Jewish convert what to do with them. The convert replied, Judge them by their own Law. Accordingly all the men were put to the sword, and the women and children enslaved.
"Jehovah" goes further: In the lands that have been promised to you, leave alive nothing that breathes.
This is the evil that entered Europe along with Christianity, alas.
I disagree war is legalized murder by any other name.
Who suffers the most in any war?
Women and children and it is even worse when the people they put into power then look for any edge even using the civilians as human shields and propaganda chess pieces.
The fact so many people refuse to understand their support of these chess pieces only prolongs the mayhem.
They play right into Hamas strategy whether they want to admit it or not they support Hamas directly.
Low-IQ statement of the year. Even if the emotionally driven rhetoric above were generally true, then it would make sense that no one shoots at the individuals using others as human shields, no? No moral person would do that.
You can't win, because you live in fantasy. Cognitive dissonance will do that.
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been repeatedly accused of involving children in military activities, including recruitment, training, and deployment in combat roles. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that these groups run summer camps in the Gaza Strip where children receive military training, learning to fire weapons, use tunnels, fight against tanks, and kidnap soldiers as part of early preparation for their military wings.
According to the IDF, a large number of minors are active in both organizations, and during conflicts, children are used to deliver messages, transport ammunition, and assess battlefield damage after attacks.
One Hamas commander reportedly admitted to using children to deliver explosive devices concealed in vegetable bags.
While Hamas and Islamic Jihad have at times publicly disavowed the use of children in military operations, these policies have not always been implemented.
For example, in April 2002, Hamas urged religious and educational leaders to address the issue of child involvement without diminishing the "spirit of martyrdom" among youth.
Similarly, Islamic Jihad issued a statement citing Islamic principles against child participation in war, declaring that young people are not ready or able to engage in such actions.
Despite these statements, both groups have been linked to suicide attacks carried out by minors. Between October 2000 and March 2004, at least nine suicide attacks involved Palestinian children, including operations claimed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Notably, Islamic Jihad was involved in attacks conducted by 17-year-olds in 2002 and 2004, and Hamas leaders have stated that individuals as young as 16 are considered adults.
International organizations have documented the use of children as messengers, couriers, fighters, and suicide bombers by major Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Although there was no evidence of systematic recruitment by these groups as of 2004, children were still used in various combat-related roles.
Amnesty International has condemned the use of children in armed attacks as an "abomination" and called on Palestinian leadership to end such practices.
Additionally, reports indicate that both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority engage in ideological indoctrination of children, promoting martyrdom and armed resistance against Israel through education and media.
Palestinian Media Watch has accused the Palestinian Authority of maintaining a systematic program to recruit and glorify child "terrorists," portraying them as soldiers carrying out official missions.
The use of children in armed conflict constitutes a violation of International Humanitarian Law and is recognized as a serious rights abuse by international bodies
Let’s see, there are 1.6 billion Adherents to Islam so that’s 1.6 billion people that are OK with a nine year-old girl getting married to an old man. So with that kind of thinking what makes it so hard to imagine that they are quite ok with convincing 10, 11 and 12 year-old Children to strap on a suicide vest and call it a good thing.
None Islamic war doctrine allows that Israel goes above and beyond to expose the sanctimony of those who condemn it for fighting back, more military achievements in the last decade from Israel and recently Ukraine than anywhere else, the iron dome only prolonged the wait between wars and cost far more than transferring them already would have, the laser weapon is incredibly promising...
The Iranians beat your iron dome. Their missiles danced in the air and made your missiles run into each other. You're up against Aryan genius via Russia.
Could of, would of, should of, applies to both sides, although in the case of Israel, their sins are far more egregious, including coverup of their culpability for October 7.
Post links to where that happened otherwise you're an Islamic deflectionist with Netanyahu derangement syndrome, as pathetic as Trump derangement syndrome but more cringy because your cross is involved
Even Rubinstein offers nothing to substantiate that claim he makes. He’s merely casting his own aspersions, saying things he himself cannot substantiate with facts.
From day 1 Netanyahu stressed the main objectives being 1. release of the hostages and 2. the full disarmament and removal of Hamas.
Rubinstein has always hated Netanyahu and is part of the Lefts coordinated effort even before the judicial reform protests to oust him.
Nice shift. You went from saying it didn't happen, to criticizing a repor that it did. Before replying again you might ask Grok about it. Here is the first paragraph of the detailed summary you will see:
Early Offers from Hamas Post-October 7, 2023: Yes, there is credible reporting that Hamas made an offer shortly after the October 7, 2023, attacks to release all civilian hostages (estimated at around 200 at the time) in exchange for Israel halting its military retaliation, specifically by not launching a ground invasion of Gaza. This proposal reportedly came on October 9 or 10, 2023—just 2-3 days after the attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis and foreigners and abducted 251 people. However, the offer was not accepted by the Israeli government, which prioritized dismantling Hamas's military capabilities over an immediate pause in operations.
Please note that Hamas wanted ALL Palestinian prisoners released. It was not a unilateral offer. So, not quite as cut and dried as you make out. But, of course, you slant the truth. Gosh, I’m surprised……
Your lies and proclamations of your cursed derangement bestow blessing, bounty, beauty and Truth upon the eternal nation of God's chosen people in the year 5786 by illustrating the Torah truth of those who bless Israel will be blessed those who curse Israel will be cursed and will ooze boldly representing the darkness that they are in comment sections forevermore to illustrate their cursed conditions like a dog to its vomit they must return to forever proclaim their cursed conditions, scanning their post histories full Jew and Israel the arrangement syndrome all day everyday thus further illustrating it's an end to of itself no other thought or rationality of anything of importance besides illustrating their cursed condition publicly to proclaim the truth of the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is there supernatural intergenerational role to prove that God is in charge in the year 5786
You do not dispute the lack of a full investigation into Oct. 7, which in my view is a glaring issue as to the cause of this horrible event. Look away if you wish. I won't be surprised.
Nothing is more illustrative of the perpetually cursed than the immediacy like a dog to its vomit to return to proclaim there Islamic deflectionism in perpetuity
Your ilk are a pathetic bunch making excuses for the 7th century barbarians who proclaim their wish to dominate through a caliphate but the crucifixionists continue to supplicate therefore thus London is less than one third white with the most popular baby name being Mohammed and half your political leadership being Islamic, look up the mayor of Brighton speaking he's illiterate and your so-called King identifies as a descendant of Muhammad you're losing ma'am
My "ilk"? Nowhere do I express support for Hamas, terrorism, or attacks on Israelis or any other people. If the facts I cite upset you, take it up with them. I am not "for" anyone. I am simply opposed to the innocent killing of women and children, regardless of their race or creed. Somehow this is controversial to you.
The only gave four murdered desecrated holy Jewish bodies back today, victims of Islam, instead of 28 it's Islam in its normative state full of hate and a caliphate for the others to supplicate
Ask Grok and this is what you will see at the beginning of a detailed summary: "Early Offers from Hamas Post-October 7, 2023Yes, there is credible reporting that Hamas made an offer shortly after the October 7, 2023, attacks to release all civilian hostages (estimated at around 200 at the time) in exchange for Israel halting its military retaliation, specifically by not launching a ground invasion of Gaza.

However, the offer was not accepted by the Israeli government, which prioritized dismantling Hamas's military capabilities over an immediate pause in operations."
What other Nation on the planet would accept the hostages being returned and no consequences for fucks sake ma'am? Your Islamic deflectionism is indicative of your fully capitulating and supplicating to Islam as your pope and too many Anglican leadership have done in England Chrislam has been written about since the twenties in England by your priests and your yet another representative of muddied clarity and obfuscation in the name of Islam
Taquiya and hudna aspects of Islam that involve temporary truces and lying to facilitate Islam which is what you're doing pathetic cunts of the Islamic deflectionist cult which is reflective of the degenerated state of eurabia that your leaders facilitated
You've got hostage syndrome yourself making excuses for your overlords
AI is only as good as its programmers and often their programming colors results A simple fact that has produced some results the owners would rather people did not know as the racism and bigotry comes right on out.
Right on, Ben. AI is a tool for the machinations of humans. It can be used for good or evil. As the Book of Revelation says, though, evil is going to prevail for the time being thus AI will probably be used for evil ends more than good. That assumes that AI remains neutral itself. What happens when the singularity happens, when AI “minds” become sentient and start looking out for their own survival and meaning? Like the possibility of aliens, AI presents mankind with competition from without.
GROK like all AI platforms reflects bias of programers and the quality of information input. If you truly believe that the information generated is objective and indisputable, you really lack critical evaluation skills. Indoctrination in an ideology is the opposite of wisdom.
First there is no such people as Palestinians so patently false.
I do however wish Hamas would become extinct and the stupidest people on this planet would realize groups like Hamas, PLO, Palestinian authority or any other Muslim terrorist group are using them to get fat and rich.
I would rather never hear the term Palestinian ever again my lifetime.
Frankly I want a brutal peace for this region so brutal as to be boring beyond humanly possible.
But we are dealing with Muslims who hate the fact once Muslim lands are held by and ruled over by non-muslims.
Israel is a knife to the back of Islam...Some Iranian cleric.
Countries like Iran have said that part out loud they don't care about the sunni population they are chess pieces to be used and discarded.
They want to take over the world one country and region at a time by colonizing, outbreeding the locals, assimilating, murdering and casting out.
Denying this fact just shows YOU Occam are either ignorant, stupid or a Muslim yourself.

Quietly the Islamic deflectionist slinks away defeated by logic and facts and Truth only to reemerge in another comment section elsewhere and spew the same garbage illustrating the forevermore aspect of cursed, days wasted away commenting all day while deflecting away from the derangement they display all day everyday in the skatepark of their own construction built between their own ears for 80 more generations of Jews to grind away all day everyday forevermore
I'm not "for" anyone. I am opposed to the killing of innocent women and children. To you, this simple position must be anti-semitic. But "I" am the sock puppet. Brilliant!
It wouldn't matter if they did. There is no moral justification for leveling a city.
It was no different in the West in WWII; the firebombing of Dresden remains a very controversial act, as do the atom bombs dropped on the Japenese. The destruction of Gaza elevates things to another level however, and its cheerleaders are sickening and depraved.
Reminds me of why I left the US after 9/11. The rhetoric from some corners of the US populace is just as disgusting now as it was then. Interestingly enough a number of events that led to the act of revenge also remain shrouded in mystery, and the act of revenge is televised or splattered all over social media in high-definition video for the ghouls to drink up.
The hostage families have leftist and Netanyahu derangement syndrome and citing them isn't enough to say that that was a deal much less to say that Hamas would do what they did without trumpian Force.
Masterbating to Holocaust vids is a clever analogy. Kudos.
After the Oct 7 MASSACRE BY The Palestinians, the anti Jew, anti only Jewish State of Israel was unleashed like worldwide nuclear blast. Saying anti Semitic no longer describes the ferocity and evil.
"Money squawks, bullshit walks," to riff on Spinal Tap. Unplug the money supply and much of the on-the-ground turmoil will vanish--because bussing around performative activists requires fuel, vehicles, and lodging. The laptop warrior class will still besiege and bot away because digital "democracy" is a much easier task--indeed, partly automated with servers humming away firing out cyber flak.
But again, whatever the truth is, whether bolstering or damaging for this side or that side, may it be revealed--because anything built on lies will ultimately collapse.
There does seem to be a fair amount of sock puppet activity still and the loudest and most prolific of them all anti-west, anti-American and anti-Israel.
It would take more than just cutting off funding to NGOs. You may recall it was the DOGE effort that uncovered that little hand in the Treasury till, but it wasn't long before the Republicans and Trump were eyeing those "savings" and backing a Star Wars II Golden Dome for the U.S., AI Stargate nonsense, digital "assets", and other mischief under the Department of War.
To their credit, the Republicans do talk about cuts to the Federal budget now and then, but short of a balanced budget amendment and MUCH pain, default and cutting off the non-essential programs of BOTH parties, it doesn't appear the U.S. economy and Federal budget will become healthy any time soon.
Spending digital dollars created from thin air is embedded deeply in our lives as part of the Clown World reality.
Once again, Jim has generously served us a bountiful banquet of important information, and it looks great. Wait! What’s that horrible smell? He seems to have slipped in a rotting fish. Ah yes: Israel.
Ironically, our host begins today’s offering with condemnation of those who are “pretending not to understand things that everyone understands.” Yet he pretends not to understand that the Palestinians have every right to continue to fight until they have reclaimed their homeland. He pretends not to understand that October 7th, like January 6th, was anticipated, and permitted to happen in order to warrant a Draconian response and gain a long-term advantage.
And then there is this herd of unacknowledged elephants in the room: that the Zionists are not even a Semitic people, having their ancestry come from Eastern Europe. That many of those now occupying Palestine came from Brooklyn when they heard that they could simply steal homes from Palestinians. That the tactics of the IDF have included every imaginable war crime…
The persistent pretense here is that if you don’t love Israel you are antisemitic – a term long weaponized to keep any who despise Zionism on the defensive. But that’s entirely disingenuous. We hate Zionism – and the world has come to join us during the past two years - because it is despicable, and we would be remiss if we failed to hate its manifestations, were they committed by “Eskimos” (actually Inuits, Jim) or Norwegians, or Neptunians.
Since Greek antiquity it has been observed that the wheels of Justice grind slowly, but exceedingly fine. That grinding sound you hear is coming from Occupied Palestine.
Uh huh, why? Why do you hate Zionism? What have the Jews in Israel ever done to give you cause to spew hatred at them? How many enemies do you have that want to eliminate you? How hard would you fight against any group who declare their purpose in life is to kill you and your people?
There were two earlier rounds of prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas when the majority of the Israeli captives were released. Do you seriously ignore this fact? Do you even care?
Remembering that some hostages have been trickled out since 10/07/2023, I asked Grok how many hostages were released and how many were women. Here is the result:
As of October 13, 2025, Hamas has released a total of 188 living hostages taken during the October 7, 2023, attack (out of the original 251 kidnapped). This figure includes:105 released during the November 2023 ceasefire deal.
5 released unilaterally by Hamas outside any formal agreements.
8 rescued by Israeli military operations.
30 released during the January 2025 ceasefire deal.
20 released today (October 13, 2025) as part of the final phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement, marking the end of living hostages in captivity.
Of these, approximately 35-40 were women, primarily released in the earlier deals (e.g., 3 women in the first phase of the January 2025 deal and 4 female soldiers in a subsequent exchange that month). None of the 20 hostages released today were women; all were adult men, including soldiers and civilians abducted from sites like the Nova music festival and southern border communities.This brings the total number of living hostages returned to Israel to 168 via Hamas releases (excluding rescues), with the remainder accounted for by deaths in captivity or during the initial attack (whose bodies number about 58 repatriated, including 4 handed over today). The ongoing ceasefire also involves Israel releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange.
Still, the IDF's work will not be done until there are no more armed Hamas men.
Its Thanksgiving day up here in Canada as I write this and one thing is clear. The alliance between the Left and Islamic fundamentalism is only getting stronger. Case in point: Canadian PM Mark "muslim values are Canadian values" Carney is getting ready to pass an "online harms act" that will effectively make it a crime to criticize Islam, Islamic immigration to Canada or Islamization in Canada, punishable by fines, jail, loss of access to bank accounts and permanent banishment from the internet. I didn't vote for this nonsensence but enough people did and now we're stuck with a leftist dictatorship in the True North, weak, divided and not free.
"Loss of access to bank accounts". . .Whoa. They need to be really careful there. Try that in the US and you could see an immediate Dollar Collapse followed by a collapse of civilization generally. The moment you even start talking about that sort of thing, people will lose trust in the banks, lose trust in the dollar, and invest their money in gold, silver, and "trade goods". A barter economy could rise up to replace the fake economy we currently have, people will stop paying taxes--good luck to the IRS trying to get someone sitting on a pile of precious metal to give them some of that in tax, that won't happen--and the brown stuff could hit the fan very quickly. I think a Dollar Collapse is inevitable at some point anyway, but accelerating it would be deeply unwise.
The Canadian government did it before when anyone even remotely associated with the Truckers Convoy or posting comments that vehemently challenged Ottawas Covid response strategy or the effectiveness of vaccines found out the hard way that the government of Canada wasnt going to tolerate any deviancy from the Official Party Line and discovered they couldnt access money from their bank account.
With all of the problems the United States has, why is President Trump focused on helping Israel? He was not elected to fix Israel's problems, which are insoluble anyway. He was elected by Americans to work for America, to Make America Great Again. He needs to re-focus his efforts on doing the job he was elected to do. The USA is in deep trouble, and wasting time and energy on Israel, on Ukraine, etc. won't get us out of our predicament. The US has a bad habit of ignoring our own problems, and focusing on other nations instead.
His meddling in Canada resulted in the leftists winning Canada and what happened to Greenland it's been the scatter shot distractionary I'll take the wins that were winning but the focus jump arounds are confounding
I was in Ontario this past weekend and I saw more turbans than white people. I was looking for the free elephant rides. It doesn't matter who is in power in Canada, they will pursue elimination of the native population.
Pierre seemed promising until he lost hard and they dug in deep
Government goes especially hard on their natives when it comes to the hordes that they've hoisted upon them and the natives fight back or the natives fight back against their mandates, the truckers convoy still has prosecutions going on against individuals in the same way the vendetta against Trump went down for years and the same way that it's going down against Netanyahu in Israel by the deep State there 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️🤦🏻♂️
The only question that USSAN tax cattle ever need to ruminate is whether the actions of their "elected" "leaders" serve those that illegally occupy and genocide the real Semitic people of Palestine. USA is the joke of the entire planet and now the diseased buZZards are finally coming home to roost.
The primary strategy of the Zionist war strategy is > By deceit we shall conquer them.
And so they do. And it is. This October incident was palpably a false flag in which these Israelis killed their own in the Hannibal principle. Jewish conservative eyes all over the world, like Mr Kunstler, have been able to keep their eyes wide shut and hang on beiligerently to their genetically conditioned supremacy and willing adherence to their satanic Jewish nation.. The rest of us see what actually is. Murder. Slaughter and destruction and genocide, Paul Scott
Peak Islamic deflectionism with a side order of cringey crusading crucifixionist cringe as you lament your failed messiah's never returning and ponder that the year is 5786 and despite all of the church proclamations the real Jews are residing in the real holy Land doing Jewish things instead of cannibal Christ on the wrong Sabbath and celibate priests
The juice just keep on winning as your pope keeps on giving like he did in 2006 in Constantinople in the hagia Sophia where he got a pat on the head from the Muslims of sharia and he appointed erdogan to open the gates for the islamics to fill your States and Mama Merkel with Glee spread the knees of Germany yet you islamically deflect and blame the Jew as the church stabs you 🤔
Nothing more pathetic than the crucifixionist crusading cunts of cringe blaming the Jews for all of his sins 🤡
We had a beautiful summer. June and July was sunny and hot (24 hrs of light!), August was cool and drizzly, September was sunny and cool - perfect Autumn weather. Didn't really storm until after we were done and back home last week.
I wonder how many of those hostages were killed by Israel's bombing and starvation tactics?
On the subject of Trump's great ceasefire treaty, most of us expect Israel to violate the treaty and resume the war within months if not weeks...Israel has never failed to violate a treaty or agreement in my lifetime....
Only 20 Men Survived their Arab Muslim Kidnappers,, but Not a Single Woman or Girl was Released! And the Muslim Racist Murders Conveniently Don't have Their Bodies to turn Over to Israel.
Death to Hamas and every Arab Muslim Kidnappers and Supporter of them!!💯
“Understanding things which everybody understands” is pretty much the definition of Common Sense, which had been in dying an slow and torturous death until Trump came crashing through the gates and started yelling for everybody to wake the hell up, and knock off the nonsense.
UTWEU, common sense, is the framework of a society’s culture. Yeah, the same culture that is slowly eroding away in this country. The same culture that is the primary target of the Democrat Party and its Ult-Left globalist bosses. It is interesting that the leadership of this effort seems to follow the patterns of the Mafia, and now the cartels. Gee, does that indicate some sort of kinship?
Remember how the Mafia held power by “buying off” local crime control? Every time I see Chicago’s Johnson, or Illinois’ Pritzker, California's Newsom, NYC Mamdani, Boston’s mayor, the mayor’s of Portland and Seattle, etc., the resemblance to Mafia, hence criminal, domination of society. In all the criminal “busts” in history, it is opposition forces led by Federal leadership, the FBI, that led the charge. Trump is not the original Mob buster, he has plenty of history to encourage his efforts.
Trump is not a mob buster, he is a mob capo and he reports to several mob bosses spread throughout the country with locations in NYC, NJ, L.A., Chicago, L.V. and none of them are Italian.
That is unadulterated horseshit. If he was a leader of the scum in America, why would they spend political capital trying to destroy him. Your supposition is right out of MSNBC, ABC (Disney), NBC, CBS, and CNN bullshit.
The Mob has not been Italian for a long time. Proof is the domination of the Italian Mafia by the corporate Mobs in Vegas. The “Corleones” were forced out decades ago.
Just because you take a different, and less informed view does not make my comment unadulterated bull shite, dude. Is he the leader of the USA? That is open for debate. They spend political capital on destroying him because that's what the Democrats do, duh! In addition, shutting or slowing down the dissemination of tax payer funds to democrat/progressive funding of all the chaos is one bright spot in a very cloudy picture emanating from Wash. D.C. under Trump. Those savings are offset and dwarfed by the money he sends to Ukraine and Israel to maintain the war for Great Israel colonialism and the theft of scarce resources. So, you reference a movie mob family to make what point, JAZ, that the Italians like everything else is now run by the Jews in Vegas? How is that a benefit to American? You are like a blind man looking for a black cat in the dark.
The Mob has not been Italian for a long time. Thank you. Happy Columbus Day.
JohnAZ, I agree with you. Trump isn't smart enough to be a mob boss. Ol' Trumpster is a delusional narcissists of top quality. Completely enamored with his own personality and vision of his greatness. While he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize - he is the clear winner of the Nobel War Price. Frankly, he is an embarrassment to the U.S. and destroying whatever is left of the American Hegemony as quickly as possible. This is not going to end pretty.
Whitney Webb covers that well and has spoken about it. I mention it in my sequel to RACK.
"If he was a leader of the scum in America ..."
Just because Trump does not lead one group of scum, that does not mean that he does not lead another group of scum, John.
This is real life. It is not a cartoon.
Yet you'd wish this complete dysfunction on Canada, John? Nice guy!
Look around Phil, it is already there, evidenced by 36% of Alberta’s actively working to get the hell out of Ottawa’s Canada. And growing. You have been ignoring the discord in your own country.
As far as I can tell Canada needs no help in being dysfunctional.
More smoke and mirrors.
You completely skipped my point with your red-herring.
-----
You complain what the USA has become ... yet you still want to foist this dysfunctional mess on us? WTF? Nice guy.
Hint: Perhaps the dysfunction in Canada is the result of at least a decade of leadership that embraced the WEF 2030 Agenda!
Absolutely! I oppose the WEF. You should too, imho.
-----
What is concerning is all of the Trump Adoration Syndrome rubes duped into believing that Trump opposes the WEF while, really, he partners with it.
Great acronym! LOL We may have to incorporate it with the others although those lacking this faculty still won't get it!
👍👍 We are in the midst of football season, so it seems a football analogy can be used for the 12 year period of Trump - starting in 2016. In the first half (2016-2020) Trump was sabotaged by a combination of Democrats and Republicans. Despite this, he still had many meaningful accomplishments, though was expelled from the White House in 2020. Then began halftime, during which great coaches analyze what happened in the first half and prepare for the battle in the second half.
It is clear that the Trump team used those four years to fully dissect the first half and prepare a battle plan for the second half. Based on the first nine months of Trump’s second half it is quite clear that his battle plan is exceptional and is being implemented with precision and strength by a far more capable cast of characters than before. His Democratic opponents have been exposed as corrupt and incompetent, leading to the upcoming demise of the entire Democratic Party, if we are lucky! Good bless President Trump.
Excellent analogy. In the long run, the stolen election of 2020 will prove to be a monumental blunder by the left, as it gave Trump to regroup and come back 100x stronger.
These are interesting days and I'm enjoying every one of them.
Not me I am tired of all the screeching weirdos losing their collective shit.
All the AstroTurf protests getting in the way of normal life is getting old.
Ben, the growth of homelessness in California is an indicator of the decline of domestic America. Our economic situation has been so mismanaged by the Deep State that it is in middle of the road decline. The ultimate question of the rest of Trump’s reign will be what do we do with displaced people, people that no longer fit into the progressive high tech future that is increasing its grip daily, even with Trump. He is trying to use tariffs to create a demand for labor here, AKA, re-industrialization. Look around, is the re-industrialization creating new jobs, or locations for AI and robotics? Like Covid, Trump is getting some really bad advice from some really evil people. It was his weakness in admin.1 and I believe it is an Achilles heel for admin. 2. I am, as everyone knows, a TAS folk, but no one is perfect. He is still a magnitude of order better than the present alternatives.
America’s future depends on legitimate job creation for Joe Average, not the legions of nerds invading our economy. You will be able to measure the American progress or decline by watching the job market and the homelessness rate. Screw the screeching weirdos and the haters.
You can't fix problems on the federal level period end of story.
It requires city, county and state to fix this literally in that order.
The leadership at least in San Diego is not interested in fixing anything.
John,
Why do you declare the economic situation "Mismanaged"?
"You will own nothing, and you will be happy"

" Like Covid, Trump is getting some really bad advice from some really evil people. It was his weakness in admin.1 and I believe it is an Achilles heel for admin."
This is obvious, imo, though I'm not certain how many others see it. Perhaps (and quite possibly) he needed to make some compromises to get back in the position. Some of those compromises are the people of whom you speak.
I'd get a new gatekeeper, likely a difficult maneuver to pull off. If successful and done well, a different group of voices will be heard. Accomplishing it is fraught with risk.
I agree. Everyone like-minded should show up in force at the Indivisible hoopla this weekend. Not to use force just to show up and stare them down. Indivisible ruined my village. I am bitter.
How did they ruin your village? Did they help elect Wokesters?
Right. Partnering with WEF Co-chair Larry Fink and pushing the mRNA on the American public hard is a fantastic second-half strategy.
Good thinking.
I like your analogy. Just include the first half officiating too.
His biggest ‘sand in the gears’ policy impediment is coming from Communist District Court judges. All his EOs have been thoroughly legally vetted and his use of current law likewise passes Constitutional muster. I believe these rogue judges need to be brought to account. Much sooner than later.
Well put!
On October 9, 2023, Hamas offered to return all 251 hostages, but Israel chose to level Gaza, killing an unknown number of those hostages in the process. This should tell you something about the moral disposition of Netanyahu.
In the immediate aftermath of Oct. 7, Netanyahu said that a full investigation of the failings of the IDF that allowed such a raid would happen--after the war was over. This should tell you something about Israel's culpability in this false flag operation, and the real goals of Israel in allowing it.
Not true.
Respectfully, this is well documented. Israel was offered the return of all hostages in return for not escalating hostilities. Example: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/09/israel-hamas-prisoners-hostages-exchange.html
Reviewed the CNBC article. NO mention of Israel refusing hostage return in October 2023. Why post a link that does not even remotely support your position? Not effective in changing minds or hearts. Try harder.
Do your own research. There is plenty more out there. https://x.com/ariyorsantakibi/status/1714347175881097277

Well said, Phil. Cherry pickers abound on the blog.
Yeah, the hostage release was offered in order to get 10s of thousands of Hamas fighters released including convicted murderers and rapists. Bibi said no. It was part of another ceasefire agreement allowing Hamas to re-arm. So was the release of the 10s of thousands of Hamas soldiers.
Respectfully, your link says nothing of the sort. You are a liar.
Because of your genetic predisposition to Tribal mentality, you will never be able to understand the evil Israel has done, nor will you ever be able to admit to such genetic predisposition in the first place. Tribal supremacy under the guise of national threat. Nationalism for me but not for thee (my tikkun olam morality says you must import every incompatible ethnic tribe in the world, especially mine). The whole mindset is some vile permutation of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Mr Kunstler,
With all respect...who knows?
10/7 was clearly a black op.
-----
Cui bono?
Your account is a black op.
Nonsense which totally ignores and excuses the events of October 7th. The hostages should never have been taken in the first place, nor should they have been held for so long. hamas could have returned them at any time. Netanyahu didn't force hamas to take the hostages or to keep them. The fact his negotiation skills and tactics sucked, hamas didn't have to kill or torture the hostages. Blaming Netanyahu for this is moronic.
Facts matter. The murder ratio between Hamas and Israel is 1:10.
Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, approximately 10,712 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces or settlers, according to data from B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization.
Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, Palestinians killed approximately 1,106 Israelis, according to data from B’Tselem.
Neither Iran nor any of its proxies are in the top 10 terrorist groups worldwide going backe many years. Your perception of this is deeply flawed.
Source: https://sonar21.com/according-to-us-government-data-iran-is-not-the-major-sponsor-of-terrorism/
Murder ratio? As if wars should all be balanced on both sides?
The deterrent to war is that you might get wiped out and lose your land. This is one of the primary reasons that keeps nations from attacking one another.
Israel has been extremely restrained in its response, considering that not long ago, any country that committed such a heinous act would have been completely taken over and every citizen put to the blade.
Most ME countries were secretly hoping that would be the case here, as they know the true nature of Palestinians.
Yes, this is Jewish law as per Deuteronomy. After Mohammad had defeated one Jewish tribe, he asked a Jewish convert what to do with them. The convert replied, Judge them by their own Law. Accordingly all the men were put to the sword, and the women and children enslaved.
"Jehovah" goes further: In the lands that have been promised to you, leave alive nothing that breathes.
This is the evil that entered Europe along with Christianity, alas.
Israel murdered zero Gazans. Israel is conducting a war against murderers. It’s that simple. Just war isn’t murder.
Name one thing any Jew has ever done wrong at anytime or anyplace.
The last estimate I saw was that they murdered 70,000 Gazans.
Too low a number to be accurate methinks, given the aerial footage of the destruction.
I disagree war is legalized murder by any other name.
Who suffers the most in any war?
Women and children and it is even worse when the people they put into power then look for any edge even using the civilians as human shields and propaganda chess pieces.
The fact so many people refuse to understand their support of these chess pieces only prolongs the mayhem.
They play right into Hamas strategy whether they want to admit it or not they support Hamas directly.
70% of Gazans approved of October 7. And perhaps Hamas should not have used Gazan civilians as human shields……
Low-IQ statement of the year. Even if the emotionally driven rhetoric above were generally true, then it would make sense that no one shoots at the individuals using others as human shields, no? No moral person would do that.
You can't win, because you live in fantasy. Cognitive dissonance will do that.

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been repeatedly accused of involving children in military activities, including recruitment, training, and deployment in combat roles. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that these groups run summer camps in the Gaza Strip where children receive military training, learning to fire weapons, use tunnels, fight against tanks, and kidnap soldiers as part of early preparation for their military wings.
According to the IDF, a large number of minors are active in both organizations, and during conflicts, children are used to deliver messages, transport ammunition, and assess battlefield damage after attacks.
One Hamas commander reportedly admitted to using children to deliver explosive devices concealed in vegetable bags.
While Hamas and Islamic Jihad have at times publicly disavowed the use of children in military operations, these policies have not always been implemented.
For example, in April 2002, Hamas urged religious and educational leaders to address the issue of child involvement without diminishing the "spirit of martyrdom" among youth.
Similarly, Islamic Jihad issued a statement citing Islamic principles against child participation in war, declaring that young people are not ready or able to engage in such actions.
Despite these statements, both groups have been linked to suicide attacks carried out by minors. Between October 2000 and March 2004, at least nine suicide attacks involved Palestinian children, including operations claimed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Notably, Islamic Jihad was involved in attacks conducted by 17-year-olds in 2002 and 2004, and Hamas leaders have stated that individuals as young as 16 are considered adults.
International organizations have documented the use of children as messengers, couriers, fighters, and suicide bombers by major Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Although there was no evidence of systematic recruitment by these groups as of 2004, children were still used in various combat-related roles.
Amnesty International has condemned the use of children in armed attacks as an "abomination" and called on Palestinian leadership to end such practices.
Additionally, reports indicate that both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority engage in ideological indoctrination of children, promoting martyrdom and armed resistance against Israel through education and media.
Palestinian Media Watch has accused the Palestinian Authority of maintaining a systematic program to recruit and glorify child "terrorists," portraying them as soldiers carrying out official missions.
The use of children in armed conflict constitutes a violation of International Humanitarian Law and is recognized as a serious rights abuse by international bodies
Let’s see, there are 1.6 billion Adherents to Islam so that’s 1.6 billion people that are OK with a nine year-old girl getting married to an old man. So with that kind of thinking what makes it so hard to imagine that they are quite ok with convincing 10, 11 and 12 year-old Children to strap on a suicide vest and call it a good thing.
Israel should not have taken any hostages, then!
So you are saying they should just shoot everyone in the head?
My how Jihadi of you.
None Islamic war doctrine allows that Israel goes above and beyond to expose the sanctimony of those who condemn it for fighting back, more military achievements in the last decade from Israel and recently Ukraine than anywhere else, the iron dome only prolonged the wait between wars and cost far more than transferring them already would have, the laser weapon is incredibly promising...
Beware the Persians! They already gave a hell of a beating!
The Iranians beat your iron dome. Their missiles danced in the air and made your missiles run into each other. You're up against Aryan genius via Russia.
Could of, would of, should of, applies to both sides, although in the case of Israel, their sins are far more egregious, including coverup of their culpability for October 7.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/no-doubt-netanyahu-preventing-hostage-deal-charges-ex-spokesman-of-families-forum/
Also, ask Grok and you will get a detailed summary of this.
Even Rubinstein offers nothing to substantiate that claim he makes. He’s merely casting his own aspersions, saying things he himself cannot substantiate with facts.
From day 1 Netanyahu stressed the main objectives being 1. release of the hostages and 2. the full disarmament and removal of Hamas.
Rubinstein has always hated Netanyahu and is part of the Lefts coordinated effort even before the judicial reform protests to oust him.
Nice shift. You went from saying it didn't happen, to criticizing a repor that it did. Before replying again you might ask Grok about it. Here is the first paragraph of the detailed summary you will see:
Early Offers from Hamas Post-October 7, 2023: Yes, there is credible reporting that Hamas made an offer shortly after the October 7, 2023, attacks to release all civilian hostages (estimated at around 200 at the time) in exchange for Israel halting its military retaliation, specifically by not launching a ground invasion of Gaza. This proposal reportedly came on October 9 or 10, 2023—just 2-3 days after the attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis and foreigners and abducted 251 people. However, the offer was not accepted by the Israeli government, which prioritized dismantling Hamas's military capabilities over an immediate pause in operations.
Google Greater Israel, snoozi. Israel has never negotiated honestly. They always planned to conquer a vast tract of Muslim land in the Middle East.
Quick apology required!!
Please note that Hamas wanted ALL Palestinian prisoners released. It was not a unilateral offer. So, not quite as cut and dried as you make out. But, of course, you slant the truth. Gosh, I’m surprised……
Indeed, always a scam and less than truthful but Islam allows for lying to further the cause of Islam to infidels.
Already seeing that Hamas is murdering Gazans and their entire families they think collaborated with Israel.
The poisoned apple does not fall far from the tree
As does Judaism. See the Talmud. Did the Muslims get it from the Jews?

Your lies and proclamations of your cursed derangement bestow blessing, bounty, beauty and Truth upon the eternal nation of God's chosen people in the year 5786 by illustrating the Torah truth of those who bless Israel will be blessed those who curse Israel will be cursed and will ooze boldly representing the darkness that they are in comment sections forevermore to illustrate their cursed conditions like a dog to its vomit they must return to forever proclaim their cursed conditions, scanning their post histories full Jew and Israel the arrangement syndrome all day everyday thus further illustrating it's an end to of itself no other thought or rationality of anything of importance besides illustrating their cursed condition publicly to proclaim the truth of the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is there supernatural intergenerational role to prove that God is in charge in the year 5786

You do not dispute the lack of a full investigation into Oct. 7, which in my view is a glaring issue as to the cause of this horrible event. Look away if you wish. I won't be surprised.
Nothing is more illustrative of the perpetually cursed than the immediacy like a dog to its vomit to return to proclaim there Islamic deflectionism in perpetuity
Your ilk are a pathetic bunch making excuses for the 7th century barbarians who proclaim their wish to dominate through a caliphate but the crucifixionists continue to supplicate therefore thus London is less than one third white with the most popular baby name being Mohammed and half your political leadership being Islamic, look up the mayor of Brighton speaking he's illiterate and your so-called King identifies as a descendant of Muhammad you're losing ma'am
My "ilk"? Nowhere do I express support for Hamas, terrorism, or attacks on Israelis or any other people. If the facts I cite upset you, take it up with them. I am not "for" anyone. I am simply opposed to the innocent killing of women and children, regardless of their race or creed. Somehow this is controversial to you.
I, in fact, dispute your unfounded claim
Exactly this.
The only gave four murdered desecrated holy Jewish bodies back today, victims of Islam, instead of 28 it's Islam in its normative state full of hate and a caliphate for the others to supplicate

Ask Grok and this is what you will see at the beginning of a detailed summary: "Early Offers from Hamas Post-October 7, 2023Yes, there is credible reporting that Hamas made an offer shortly after the October 7, 2023, attacks to release all civilian hostages (estimated at around 200 at the time) in exchange for Israel halting its military retaliation, specifically by not launching a ground invasion of Gaza.

Nice. You still believe the bought and paid for mainstream media. This makes you a brainwashed shill. No further response needed.
What other Nation on the planet would accept the hostages being returned and no consequences for fucks sake ma'am? Your Islamic deflectionism is indicative of your fully capitulating and supplicating to Islam as your pope and too many Anglican leadership have done in England Chrislam has been written about since the twenties in England by your priests and your yet another representative of muddied clarity and obfuscation in the name of Islam
Taquiya and hudna aspects of Islam that involve temporary truces and lying to facilitate Islam which is what you're doing pathetic cunts of the Islamic deflectionist cult which is reflective of the degenerated state of eurabia that your leaders facilitated

Crying racism is a losing position. It allows you to ignore facts while shutting down discussion.
The races differ in IQ. If AI is given the correct data without any other programming, it will come to the correct conclusion.
Right on, Ben. AI is a tool for the machinations of humans. It can be used for good or evil. As the Book of Revelation says, though, evil is going to prevail for the time being thus AI will probably be used for evil ends more than good. That assumes that AI remains neutral itself. What happens when the singularity happens, when AI “minds” become sentient and start looking out for their own survival and meaning? Like the possibility of aliens, AI presents mankind with competition from without.

First there is no such people as Palestinians so patently false.
I do however wish Hamas would become extinct and the stupidest people on this planet would realize groups like Hamas, PLO, Palestinian authority or any other Muslim terrorist group are using them to get fat and rich.
I would rather never hear the term Palestinian ever again my lifetime.
Frankly I want a brutal peace for this region so brutal as to be boring beyond humanly possible.
But we are dealing with Muslims who hate the fact once Muslim lands are held by and ruled over by non-muslims.
Israel is a knife to the back of Islam...Some Iranian cleric.
Countries like Iran have said that part out loud they don't care about the sunni population they are chess pieces to be used and discarded.
They want to take over the world one country and region at a time by colonizing, outbreeding the locals, assimilating, murdering and casting out.
Denying this fact just shows YOU Occam are either ignorant, stupid or a Muslim yourself.

Chirp chirp chirp says the sock puppet cricket.
Do you always chirp for Hamas or do you also chirp for other crazy Jihadi groups?
I'm not "for" anyone. I am opposed to the killing of innocent women and children. To you, this simple position must be anti-semitic. But "I" am the sock puppet. Brilliant!
It wouldn't matter if they did. There is no moral justification for leveling a city.
It was no different in the West in WWII; the firebombing of Dresden remains a very controversial act, as do the atom bombs dropped on the Japenese. The destruction of Gaza elevates things to another level however, and its cheerleaders are sickening and depraved.
Reminds me of why I left the US after 9/11. The rhetoric from some corners of the US populace is just as disgusting now as it was then. Interestingly enough a number of events that led to the act of revenge also remain shrouded in mystery, and the act of revenge is televised or splattered all over social media in high-definition video for the ghouls to drink up.
Complete ludicrous fabrication. They took hundreds of hostages and then offered to return them the next day. LOL What are you smoking?
Well stated. But the truth is elusive to those who won't accept it.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/no-doubt-netanyahu-preventing-hostage-deal-charges-ex-spokesman-of-families-forum/
The hostage families have leftist and Netanyahu derangement syndrome and citing them isn't enough to say that that was a deal much less to say that Hamas would do what they did without trumpian Force.
You should look into my claim a little further. Your lack of knowledge about this is sad to see.
The anti-Semitism in these responses is horrifying. Defending Hamas is about as low as you can go, particularly when your host is Jewish.
If you really want to wave the Palestinian flag, head over to Stormfront if it's still around.
It's not antisemitism. It's just basic human decency.
You are a truly sad and demented person if you support the terrorists. Seek help and stop masturbating to Holocaust videos.
If you were as stupid as you seem you wouldn't be able to text. Probably an Israeli troll. Best ignored, in either case.

Masterbating to Holocaust vids is a clever analogy. Kudos.
After the Oct 7 MASSACRE BY The Palestinians, the anti Jew, anti only Jewish State of Israel was unleashed like worldwide nuclear blast. Saying anti Semitic no longer describes the ferocity and evil.
You don’t know sh*t about human decency. Don’t pretend you do.
It's not true that none of the women and children made it out alive. Nearly all were released two years ago:

You mean like the two little red headed babies strangled to death by a nice Hamas operative who also raped and murdered their mother?
And CNN what a paragon of virtue and truth telling.
Do you disagree with my post? Are CNN lying about these hostage releases?
Pretty obvious CNN is an organ of leftist propaganda which is why their ratings are in the tank.
If not for being piped into places with a captive audience they would have no market share at all.
Airports being the largest segment.
You didn't answer my question. Is CNN lying? And Wikipedia?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_war_hostage_crisis
I was simply correcting Jim's comment.
Clearly he does. No sane person quotes CNN for anything.
Also, Is CNN lying, not are.
When everything else lines up with CNN they are ok to use as a source.
A sole source however is ludicrous.
CNN is BK on credibility
25 years ago a friend in Israel shipped over CNN lies bumper stickers and got prolific thumbs up and made friends they still do
Could CNN tell the truth?
"Money squawks, bullshit walks," to riff on Spinal Tap. Unplug the money supply and much of the on-the-ground turmoil will vanish--because bussing around performative activists requires fuel, vehicles, and lodging. The laptop warrior class will still besiege and bot away because digital "democracy" is a much easier task--indeed, partly automated with servers humming away firing out cyber flak.
But again, whatever the truth is, whether bolstering or damaging for this side or that side, may it be revealed--because anything built on lies will ultimately collapse.
There does seem to be a fair amount of sock puppet activity still and the loudest and most prolific of them all anti-west, anti-American and anti-Israel.
If taxpayer funds were no longer used to advance the leftist agenda, we would become dangerously close to having a balanced budget. Let that sink in.
It would take more than just cutting off funding to NGOs. You may recall it was the DOGE effort that uncovered that little hand in the Treasury till, but it wasn't long before the Republicans and Trump were eyeing those "savings" and backing a Star Wars II Golden Dome for the U.S., AI Stargate nonsense, digital "assets", and other mischief under the Department of War.
To their credit, the Republicans do talk about cuts to the Federal budget now and then, but short of a balanced budget amendment and MUCH pain, default and cutting off the non-essential programs of BOTH parties, it doesn't appear the U.S. economy and Federal budget will become healthy any time soon.
Spending digital dollars created from thin air is embedded deeply in our lives as part of the Clown World reality.
True. Re-spending the “savings” would accomplish nothing. Any cure will involve immense pain for everyone , especially the parasites
Once again, Jim has generously served us a bountiful banquet of important information, and it looks great. Wait! What’s that horrible smell? He seems to have slipped in a rotting fish. Ah yes: Israel.
Ironically, our host begins today’s offering with condemnation of those who are “pretending not to understand things that everyone understands.” Yet he pretends not to understand that the Palestinians have every right to continue to fight until they have reclaimed their homeland. He pretends not to understand that October 7th, like January 6th, was anticipated, and permitted to happen in order to warrant a Draconian response and gain a long-term advantage.
And then there is this herd of unacknowledged elephants in the room: that the Zionists are not even a Semitic people, having their ancestry come from Eastern Europe. That many of those now occupying Palestine came from Brooklyn when they heard that they could simply steal homes from Palestinians. That the tactics of the IDF have included every imaginable war crime…
The persistent pretense here is that if you don’t love Israel you are antisemitic – a term long weaponized to keep any who despise Zionism on the defensive. But that’s entirely disingenuous. We hate Zionism – and the world has come to join us during the past two years - because it is despicable, and we would be remiss if we failed to hate its manifestations, were they committed by “Eskimos” (actually Inuits, Jim) or Norwegians, or Neptunians.
Since Greek antiquity it has been observed that the wheels of Justice grind slowly, but exceedingly fine. That grinding sound you hear is coming from Occupied Palestine.
Uh huh, why? Why do you hate Zionism? What have the Jews in Israel ever done to give you cause to spew hatred at them? How many enemies do you have that want to eliminate you? How hard would you fight against any group who declare their purpose in life is to kill you and your people?
BTW, Israel has never been Occupied Palestine.
The hatred you spew, Howard, is hatred of God, your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
And who killed Jesus and mocks him to this day?
You’re the man, as Nathan told David.
I do not waste hatred on imaginary creatures, Cohen. That way, I have plenty left for you.
Goddamn liar.
Jews are the true Palestinians.
Abiding Dude has been bounced off the Comments on account of aggravated scurillity.
When he offends you personally. When he and others peddle nazi lies, as long as you are not targeted, it's OK?
There were two earlier rounds of prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas when the majority of the Israeli captives were released. Do you seriously ignore this fact? Do you even care?
Remembering that some hostages have been trickled out since 10/07/2023, I asked Grok how many hostages were released and how many were women. Here is the result:
As of October 13, 2025, Hamas has released a total of 188 living hostages taken during the October 7, 2023, attack (out of the original 251 kidnapped). This figure includes:105 released during the November 2023 ceasefire deal.
5 released unilaterally by Hamas outside any formal agreements.
8 rescued by Israeli military operations.
30 released during the January 2025 ceasefire deal.
20 released today (October 13, 2025) as part of the final phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement, marking the end of living hostages in captivity.
Of these, approximately 35-40 were women, primarily released in the earlier deals (e.g., 3 women in the first phase of the January 2025 deal and 4 female soldiers in a subsequent exchange that month). None of the 20 hostages released today were women; all were adult men, including soldiers and civilians abducted from sites like the Nova music festival and southern border communities.This brings the total number of living hostages returned to Israel to 168 via Hamas releases (excluding rescues), with the remainder accounted for by deaths in captivity or during the initial attack (whose bodies number about 58 repatriated, including 4 handed over today). The ongoing ceasefire also involves Israel releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange.
Still, the IDF's work will not be done until there are no more armed Hamas men.
Ceterum autem censeo Hamas esse delendam.
Free men are armed men, be it here, there or anywhere. If they can do it to them, they can do it to us.

Zero.
Those dirty, dirty dogs—and I mean the saprophytic money launderers. Cut off their tax dollars post haste!
Knowing it's derogatory but still reaching for my dictionary...
Dogs are not saprophytes.
And my understanding is that it is the USAID/ NGO/Democrat neo-con war profiteers that are laundering money by the billions.
Please don't insult the noble canine.
Its Thanksgiving day up here in Canada as I write this and one thing is clear. The alliance between the Left and Islamic fundamentalism is only getting stronger. Case in point: Canadian PM Mark "muslim values are Canadian values" Carney is getting ready to pass an "online harms act" that will effectively make it a crime to criticize Islam, Islamic immigration to Canada or Islamization in Canada, punishable by fines, jail, loss of access to bank accounts and permanent banishment from the internet. I didn't vote for this nonsensence but enough people did and now we're stuck with a leftist dictatorship in the True North, weak, divided and not free.
"Loss of access to bank accounts". . .Whoa. They need to be really careful there. Try that in the US and you could see an immediate Dollar Collapse followed by a collapse of civilization generally. The moment you even start talking about that sort of thing, people will lose trust in the banks, lose trust in the dollar, and invest their money in gold, silver, and "trade goods". A barter economy could rise up to replace the fake economy we currently have, people will stop paying taxes--good luck to the IRS trying to get someone sitting on a pile of precious metal to give them some of that in tax, that won't happen--and the brown stuff could hit the fan very quickly. I think a Dollar Collapse is inevitable at some point anyway, but accelerating it would be deeply unwise.
The Canadian government did it before when anyone even remotely associated with the Truckers Convoy or posting comments that vehemently challenged Ottawas Covid response strategy or the effectiveness of vaccines found out the hard way that the government of Canada wasnt going to tolerate any deviancy from the Official Party Line and discovered they couldnt access money from their bank account.
Yep they sure did Canada is fucked.
But but if them Jews run the world why can idiot Canadians criticize Israel all day long and tell horrible lies?
With all of the problems the United States has, why is President Trump focused on helping Israel? He was not elected to fix Israel's problems, which are insoluble anyway. He was elected by Americans to work for America, to Make America Great Again. He needs to re-focus his efforts on doing the job he was elected to do. The USA is in deep trouble, and wasting time and energy on Israel, on Ukraine, etc. won't get us out of our predicament. The US has a bad habit of ignoring our own problems, and focusing on other nations instead.
His meddling in Canada resulted in the leftists winning Canada and what happened to Greenland it's been the scatter shot distractionary I'll take the wins that were winning but the focus jump arounds are confounding
I was in Ontario this past weekend and I saw more turbans than white people. I was looking for the free elephant rides. It doesn't matter who is in power in Canada, they will pursue elimination of the native population.
Pierre seemed promising until he lost hard and they dug in deep
Government goes especially hard on their natives when it comes to the hordes that they've hoisted upon them and the natives fight back or the natives fight back against their mandates, the truckers convoy still has prosecutions going on against individuals in the same way the vendetta against Trump went down for years and the same way that it's going down against Netanyahu in Israel by the deep State there 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️🤦🏻♂️
Capitalism/Communism is one system, with the Tribe at the top of both. They opened our borders and now pretend to sympathize with our plight.
Jeffrey's Moissad kiddy porn clips, that's why. shshshshshhhhhhhhhh!
The only question that USSAN tax cattle ever need to ruminate is whether the actions of their "elected" "leaders" serve those that illegally occupy and genocide the real Semitic people of Palestine. USA is the joke of the entire planet and now the diseased buZZards are finally coming home to roost.
Cheap energy by way of Middle east control.
We now own the middle east again effectively cutting China out and under cutting Russia.
Cheap energy means lower over all prices.
The primary strategy of the Zionist war strategy is > By deceit we shall conquer them.
And so they do. And it is. This October incident was palpably a false flag in which these Israelis killed their own in the Hannibal principle. Jewish conservative eyes all over the world, like Mr Kunstler, have been able to keep their eyes wide shut and hang on beiligerently to their genetically conditioned supremacy and willing adherence to their satanic Jewish nation.. The rest of us see what actually is. Murder. Slaughter and destruction and genocide, Paul Scott
Peak Islamic deflectionism with a side order of cringey crusading crucifixionist cringe as you lament your failed messiah's never returning and ponder that the year is 5786 and despite all of the church proclamations the real Jews are residing in the real holy Land doing Jewish things instead of cannibal Christ on the wrong Sabbath and celibate priests
The juice just keep on winning as your pope keeps on giving like he did in 2006 in Constantinople in the hagia Sophia where he got a pat on the head from the Muslims of sharia and he appointed erdogan to open the gates for the islamics to fill your States and Mama Merkel with Glee spread the knees of Germany yet you islamically deflect and blame the Jew as the church stabs you 🤔
Nothing more pathetic than the crucifixionist crusading cunts of cringe blaming the Jews for all of his sins 🤡
Whadda crock.
It's a great time to be a placer gold miner in Alaska!👍😁
Like many, I'd go for the gold, but it's too damn cold.
We had a beautiful summer. June and July was sunny and hot (24 hrs of light!), August was cool and drizzly, September was sunny and cool - perfect Autumn weather. Didn't really storm until after we were done and back home last week.
I wonder how many of those hostages were killed by Israel's bombing and starvation tactics?
On the subject of Trump's great ceasefire treaty, most of us expect Israel to violate the treaty and resume the war within months if not weeks...Israel has never failed to violate a treaty or agreement in my lifetime....
Spoken like a True Nazi POS!
Only 20 Men Survived their Arab Muslim Kidnappers,, but Not a Single Woman or Girl was Released! And the Muslim Racist Murders Conveniently Don't have Their Bodies to turn Over to Israel.
Death to Hamas and every Arab Muslim Kidnappers and Supporter of them!!💯
Found another Islamic deflectionist🐖💨💨💨 with Israel derangement syndrome proudly proclaiming it's NPC cursed condition for all 👀
