GAZA GAZA GONE

How many people feel like Nostradamus predicted this somehow…or that blind little old lady Baba Vanga. There’s people out there screaming end of times right next to the scalper screaming Taylor Swift tickets here. Maybe they’re both signs of some kind of apocalypse. All I know is that there isn’t many people too neutral in this conflict. You either believe that the Palestinians are right or you believe that Israel is right. As for me, I just don’t know enough to think that Hamas could remotely be right in this situation. Maybe there is some kind of argument for their actions, I can’t think of one that would justify their actions, but I’m sure there are some who believe they were justified. Well, I know that there are people that believe that, as I see all over the news… people that say this is Israel’s fault. I would like to hear their argument, one that advocates the murder of partygoers and women and children.

Hamas, labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department since October 8th, 1997, is a militant group that was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya, which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as a religious charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas became increasingly involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the late 1990s; it opposed the Israel–PLO Letters of Mutual Recognition as well as the Oslo Accords, which saw Hamas’ secular rival Fatah renounce “the use of terrorism and other acts of violence” and recognize Israel in pursuit of a two-state solution. Hamas continued to advocate Palestinian armed resistance. Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, gaining a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council, and subsequently took control of Gaza Strip from Fatah in 2007.

There is roughly 2 million Palestine people in the Gaza Strip and another 2 or so million Palestine people in the West Bank. There are almost 8 million Jewish people in Israel. What I have noticed in these marches to support Palestine is that they are calling out Israel for what they consider apartheid behavior. Their slogans say, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. I don’t understand the slogan because I don’t know what they mean. Are they saying that Palestine should encompass all of what is now known as Israel? Or are they saying that Palestine is not free to do what they want? That they have to follow Israel’s laws? In either case, I don’t believe that Palestine isn’t free to do what they want in their own territory. The population numbers are significant because if Israel and Palestine were to merge into one country, the current number of Israelis outnumber the current number of Palestinians, which means that Israel would still be Israel in a democracy. The only problem being the Hamas faction which would not abide by a democratic election and still try to rule by violence, in my opinion. So, why and try to make it one state when in the end, you would still be outnumbered in a democratic election, unless your goal is to rule over Israelis, even though you are not the majority?

This conflict has deepened some divides in this country, those that are antisemites are going to be more so now and those that are islamophobic are also going to be more hardened. What I do notice is that social media just magnifies the problem. Everyone, from a no talent blog writer, present… thank you very much, to tik tok and X posters are going to have an opinion on the matter. Most are going to be wrong but have enough truth to make them seem credible, that’s in between their videos of how to get a flatter stomach while enlarging their glutes all in one easy step…. walking into the plastic surgeon’s office.

Another thing that is happening is that Fox News and CNN are agreeing, mostly, that Hamas is to blame for this incident, maybe it is the end of times. While there are young college students all over the U.S. that are protesting Israel and favoring Palestine, most adults feel that Hamas is the true criminal element. To be fair, if the adults had taken the side of the Palestinians the college students would immediately reverse course and be on Israel’s side. That’s youth for you. But this also shows that organizations like Hamas have taken to social media, mostly for recruiting purposes and for misinformation, to sway the young people to be on their side. They come up with a fictious story, like how they can’t collect their inheritance because the Zionists are holding their bank account prisoner and if you donate $1000 to them , they can get their riches and pay you back $100,000 they got from the Nigerian prince they just talked to. They spin how they are the victims and how the other side are the tormentors and give a version of history that makes them seem like they are the nice guys that wield machine guns and kill innocent people. Now, I’m talking about Hamas, not the Palestinians. I don’t think they are the same, but one never knows. It’s scary how young people can be so easily manipulated by terrorist organization. They can’t build a decent refrigerator but they can navigate through social media like if they were walking in the park…. with submachine guns.

What I do notice is that whenever a camera is on in Palestine, someone picks up a child and starts running somewhere, who knows where and who knows who’s child it is. They are great at theatrics and selling their portion of the unjustly persecuted. I don’t know if to believe they are telling the truth or if they are auditioning for the next San Andreas sequel. I think half the kids are eating a Big Mac while being carried into the hospital. They’re not but they also don’t look hurt. No blood or limbs missing. No head wounds. No apparent injury. Just some guy running with a kid, looking like they don’t want to miss the bus, which is on the other side of the hospital.

I’m just not buying the Hamas is just defending themselves bit. They refused to have a two State solution, which seems to mean that they want all the land to themselves and want all the Jewish Israeli’s to leave. I don’t know if that is even possible, for one, I don’t know if they would like what Israel has become, nice. Angry people need something to hate and if they had places like Tel Aviv, they might relax and die of peacefulness. It just wouldn’t work.

In my opinion, everyone should make their own, if this is actually classified as a war, then Israel should completely seize the Gaza strip and make it part of Israel. If you are going to kill 1300 people because you disagree with their religion or their politics or maybe their choice of music, who really knows, then their is always a price to pay for the instigator or the loser. If Israel loses, I’m sure Hamas would take over their land, so, if Hamas loses, I think it perfectly fitting that Israel be able to take away their biggest military asset, the Gaza Strip.

Well, I think I stated where I am at in this… I’m pro self-defense and anti dumb-dumb. Who is who, is up to you. I will say…. Shalom….

I guess the other thing we should consider is if these demonstrations were planned prior to the invasion. If the concerted effort in the U.S. and around the world to hold rallies to sway Americans and the world to turn on Israel was something that Hamas had planned prior to invading Israel. And if so, is there any legal repercussions here for anyone that knew in advance of an impending invasion of Israel that killed Americans, if they didn’t report to the proper authorities.

ALLIES UPSET THAT UKRAINE NOT SHOWING MORE GRATITUDE

How dare they? Right…? I mean can’t they take time in between them burying their women and children, the ones that weren’t kidnapped, and their soldiers to thank us for them fighting a war that was eventually going to happen to a NATO nation if they had just laid down and did nothing. The one thing that is definitely going to be an outcome of this debacle is the Russia is going to realize that they have no chance of winning any land war or incursion in a NATO nation and that’s because Ukraine punched back. While Ukraine should be thankful, I think that we should be just as thankful that they are fighting a NATO war…. I think the least we can do is make sure that are properly equipped, that should include long range missiles. If NATO wants a quick end to this incursion, it has to get a backbone and let Russia know that any threat of nuclear deterrence by them would be met with the full force of NATO making Moscow the world’s largest crater within minutes and NATO should be giving Ukraine the ability to strike deep in Russia if they want… without asking what Ukraine is going to do with those long range ballistic weapons so they could plead ignorance. Ukraine cannot win swiftly if Moscow is still enjoying their lattes. They have to give Russia a reason to quit and fighting in Ukraine alone won’t do the trick. As for the thanks being requested, I’m pretty sure the Ukrainians are busy now and will thank us properly with a plaque of participation later.

JUDICIAL BRANCH AND WHY NO ONE THINKS THEY ARE A SEPARATE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT

With a major case, the first of its kind, on the way, the government has gone Cyndi Lauper… in it has shown its true colors. The criticisms of Judge Cannon have picked up and the DOJ wants to move the case to NJ. It seems that Judge Cannon should put “Trump appointed” on her name plate next to her name. During the former President’s reign in office, President Trump stated much of the same, claiming Obama appointed judges were out to sabotage his policies, with a sharp rebuke coming from Chief Robertson when he tried, to no avail, to set the record straight by outright stating that the Judicial branch is a separate part of government and does not get persuaded by politics. With the right going to a judge in Texas and the left going to the 9th circuit to get favorable decisions, the public is left wondering what judges can they go to to get a fair and neutral decision, I’m partial to Judge Mills Lane, if you can’t come to an agreement you can always duke it out and Judge Lane was one of the best boxing referees of all time.

Judge Cannon is under scrutiny because she, a female Hispanic Judge, appointed a special master to oversee evidence. I’m guessing her thinking was to keep things apolitical and neutral. The DOJ disagreed and challenged her decision and the 11th circuit reversed her decision. The DOJ then celebrated by appointing a special prosecutor so they could keep things apolitical and neutral. But even the appointment of the “special” people were criticized as having political leanings. I have no idea what’s up with these “special” people, but where I came from, if you were called “special”, you rode on a short bus and weren’t given any sharp items to play with. I don’t think this is the same thing. Either way, the Judicial branch isn’t only being criticized by the public, it’s also being attacked by the institutional people (where I lived, those were the ones that rode the short bus and never came back, again, I don’t think it’s the same thing). So, if the public doesn’t trust the Judicial branch and the institution, the other two branches, don’t either (is it don’t?, doesn’t?, don’tdoesn’t?, donesn’t?) anyway, how can we get a fair and neutral outcome? What is it that we can do to fix this problem?

Luckily, I have the solution, we use a Ouija board… No, maybe….. No. What we do is we let the Supreme Court decide who can be a judge. We let the experts pick qualified people and not the people that were voted in that used to work at Hooters, because wet T shirt judges are much different and a lot less sober than Judges that practice law… most of the time. The other two branches can than make a final selection of the chosen judges and confirm these qualified people. What you will have then is people criticizing neutral judges and not politically chosen ones. What are they going to say, this Supreme Court chosen Judge….? The solution seems like a no brainer, it has to be because I thought of it but the chances that they implement this plan and give up power is the same chance of me winning the lotto twice on the same day while just being missed by lightning. Because if I hit the lottery twice in one day, I am definitely getting hit by lightning.

A lot of people think the courts are an extension of the Justice Department as in a lot of the current federal judges used to be prosecutors for the Justice Department. This makes a lot of sympathizing for one side. It’s no wonder that they have a 97 percent winning record. I don’t even have that kind of percentage in spelling my name right. But if you add that advancement to a higher court depends on the same branch that the Department of Justice is in, that winning rate makes a lot more sense. That’s why advancement should be left to Judicial Branch, where advancement depends on you not forgetting to bring your boss coffee. At least it gives the illusion of the separation of powers.

EQUAL RIGHTS THE NON PARTISAN WAY

Just when you thought that the two sides were going to go outside into an alley and decide legislation by last person standing, the legislative bodies come together to show an impressive cohesiveness and allowing people to love and marry who they want. I guess maybe there is hope for good legislation and reasonable thinking after all.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY

There a lot of things right with this country but there are some things wrong. The biggest problem, as I see it, is there is no entrance exam to hold public office. I mean you have to take entrance exams for college, you have to take entrance exams to go into the military (ASVAB), there’s even entrance exams for some kindergarten schools… but there is no entrance exam to make decisions on the fate of the economy or what we should do if there are incursions in other countries or whatever rates high priority emergencies.

Elections are popularity contests and lets be honest here, we all like the dumbass that falls down drunk, pisses on him/herself and sharts and lets everyone know that he/she did. We like them because, who hasn’t sharted, right? And they have the grace to pull of a shart so lets vote them in. Well, I would rather vote in the person who has the brains to say I have never sharted. Our adversaries, the Chinas and the Russias don’t mind us voting in dumbasses because they are easily manipulated. They can have their egos stroked and they become lap dogs for our adversaries. They don’t have the wherewithal to know the difference between behavior that is harmful to the country from normal behavior.

So, why don’t we have a minimal educational standard for people that are going to run or ruin this country? Why is it that people that adhere to conspiracy theories are allowed to walk the hallow halls of the Congress, or is it hollow halls now that they were looted, btw, I didn’t hear anyone say if you loot we shoot when that happened, all I heard is we love you. That’s for a different day though. Our elected officials should not be the pandemic spreaders of conspiracies but the vaccine to such ridiculousness. And if they do mention such conspiracies, being that they are lawmakers, they should be held to a higher standard and be forced to produce evidentiary material to back their craziness up or be forced to relinquish their position. People are crazy because some of our lawmakers are crazy… and because they forget to put on the aluminum foil hats… hahahaha… damn aliens or is it non resident earth beings now, who the fuck knows. Well, I know one thing, I’m not smart enough to be a lawmaker but I’m plenty smarter than any dumbass that wears a gun to Congress or impeaches a President on the first day because the other guy lost and yes, I had a few and I did just shart… Therefore disqualifying myself and thank god, from every holding public office. I bid you adieu, I have to take a shower.

This is a 5 terrorist 5 Kilos excerpt

IMO: SELF-PARDON !?!?!?!?

The presumptive ability to self pardon oneself is an interesting debate. It has never been done before and it would be amazing to see how it would play out in courts. With one Capitol Police Officer dead, the riots in Capitol Hill have taken an ominous turn. It now has the label of a murder pending a Federal investigation. The Capitol Police Officer, may he rest in peace and my deepest sorrows goes out to his family, who died after having an altercation with rioters, and probably due to some prior health problems, most likely had a cardio infarction, a heart attack, after the stress of the situation. The culprits, mostly, I’m guessing all, political supporters of the current President who falsely believe that the election was stolen from them, it wasn’t, acted hastily and without care for human life. The problem though lies in what happened prior to the riots. Their was a speech given where several speech makers used rhetoric that specifically mentioned violence, a pre-cursor to the riots that might be seen as marching orders to create havoc. I listened to the speeches and while some people did make worrisome remarks, including a sitting congressman with ambitions that now will never be realized, I did not hear anything from the current President that called for violence, admittedly I did not hear the full speech but clips played by the media. I know that the left have interpreted some of his remarks that way but that is more hopeful wishing than reality. We have to keep things real and not make alternate realities just for your own purposes. I know that the current President is not very popular among the people, he is a hate or love him type of personality but when it comes to the rule of law (what a joke) that has no bearing on charges. I am one that feels that a President, current or former, should only be indicted if he commits treason or uses the power of his office, while he is in office, for monetary gain. I’m not saying that murder or rape should be excused but I’m just presuming that someone we elected into office wouldn’t commit those heinous crimes. Nevertheless, self pardoning has been mentioned. Personally I think, given everything I know about how the government works, it should be fine. People in the government have done much worse and they pardon themselves all the time but given the intense scrutiny of being President, the world will be watching and common sense should tell you that self pardoning is a ridiculous notion. My advice, if it were me, (it would never be me) I would resign three days prior to the President – elect takes his oath and have my second in command issue those pardons. Of course, this would mean that VP Pence could only serve one more term as President if he ever decided to run for the office but chances are that, since he is forever linked to President Trump and these rioters created such chaos, he would not make it past the primaries. While VP Pence is actually a likable person and stood his ground on these decertification fiascos by not going along with it, plays well for him, he is ultimately tied to one of the most disastrous Presidency’s in history. The pandemic, the insurrection riot, racial riots, the devaluation of the American Dollar, will always be fodder for his opponents. But once again, self-pardon, nope, resign and have your number two pardon you, yep.

I would like to add that thank God it wasn’t Hispanic People, there might have been a couple, in the Capitol Hill “insurrections” or you would have seen a wall built in less than thirty minutes. Hahaha…. it would have been labeled the Freedom Wall. You have to have a little sense of humor with it or you would just go nuts.

You know what’s funny, President Trump could come back as a Senator for the the Sunshine State. Crazier things have happened.

Another thing I would like to mention is that I hope that this never happens again. Politicians words make a difference in the feeble minded. They believe in what these people say like it’s religion. They will literally overtake the Capitol building and commit felonies if told to because they are too dumb to know better. I would never vote for a narcissistic demagogue who is hell bent on feeding his/her ego. Those people that objected to the certification of President – elect Biden’s verification were appealing to the mass’s confused message of despair and profiting off of it while sowing discord for their personal benefit. That is the exact definition of demagogue. Look it up. Your job is to tell the truth above all else and you are failing your constituents.

SHARED NEWS: ‘We do have two systems of justice in America’: Kamala Harris says Barr, Trump in ‘different reality’ on race Reported By William Cummings, USA TODAY

VP nominee states the obvious. The question is where do the nominees lie on this obvious statement. My opinion is a little different then how they see it though. Today, it’s not about black and white as much as it’s about socioeconomics, it’s about who can afford/get a lawyer and who can’t or is allowed to.

RNC SPEECHES

download

The RNC gave it’s round of speeches and they were pretty good. Their strategy was to begin with the world is ending (if you vote the wrong way) and ended with glory, glory hallelujah. I was impressed with the First Lady, even with the absurd criticism of her attire, it didn’t overshadow that she felt like a very genuine person. VP Pence is a seasoned speech giver that delivered his message straight to the heart and soul of his political congregation, not meant as a poke at his religious beliefs, I hold the same ones just don’t interpret them the same way in some cases. I see that this is going to be a highly contested election.

One thing though, I agree that this country has the ability to be the best in the world but we have to realize that there is problems and not be blind to those problems. I’m not voting for anyone that doesn’t know what those problems are because they won’t know to fix them. If this country was perfect, we wouldn’t need two or more political parties, we would have just one and sing kumbaya all day and all night.

JESUS WAS A SOCIALIST PART DEUX

Jesus cartoon

I noticed in my history that I had a lot of likes under blog post “Jesus was a Socialist”. I still agree with what I wrote and want to add that there was another man in biblical times that represents something like what is going on today. Moses led the chosen people out of Egypt into the homeland. On his way, he ran into an obstacle, not unlike a wall, the Red Sea, alright not exactly a wall either. He parted the Red Sea and his people got through and when the Egyptians tried to follow, the sea swallowed them up. Now I’m going to point to the “The Wall” on the southern border and how a big gust of wind took it down. I foresee a big hurricane decimating that wall and little Mexican guy on the other side with a red poncho and his goat herding staff with his hands in the air, saying “Hijole, vistes lo que paso”. Now, wouldn’t that be a sight.

I’m not saying let everyone in, but when you are the greatest country on Earth, it’s your responsibility to live up to that nom de plum and help the less fortunate. You call yourself Christian and you act more like heathens and pagans worshiping a wall.
