How Donald Dumb is Preparing for the Midterms

The writing is on the wall. Cheater-in-Chief Donald Dumb will literally engage in any illegal or immoral act to prevent his losing Congress in the November midterms. His record is one of the most criminal ones in the history of the country, and just like his Zionist friends, he claims to be a victim of the crimes he himself commits.

Watch out America. Donald Dumb is about to wreck the elections because he knows he is losing them. He will post his ICE-GESTAPO police at voting precincts to scare people. He will claim the voting machines were tampered with. He will claim that dead people have voted (somehow he thinks that dead people vote Democrat!!). He will threaten people in charge of the elections if they don't cheat along with him. And best of all, he already is saying that the elections would be fair if his bastard MAGA candidates win, but if his MAGA moron candidates lose it would be because the Democrats cheated.

Doomsday speculation about the midterm elections takes hold

Juan Williams, opinion contributor

Mon, July 6, 2026

"They're animals," President Trump said about the success of leftists in this year's Democratic primaries.  "We have to stop this…horrible threat of cancer that's permeating our country called communism," he told right-wing evangelicals in a desperate effort to stir fear about Democrats.

The Washington Post described his words as "dehumanizing," and similar to 1950s "redbaiting," attacks on Democrats that led the U.S. Senate to censure the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.). 

Trump is pushing every button with the November midterms getting closer.

As his poll numbers sink to 61 percent disapproval in a Fox survey, Trump is frantic for any tactic to stop Democrats from taking control of the House and possibly winning a Senate majority.

He is even planning a national Republican convention before the midterms.

He wants to distract from RealClearPolitics polls that show Democrats with the advantage in generic congressional voting, holding about a 5-point edge on Republicans.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) warned last month that Trump is willing to "deny the results of midterms if they do not go his way…do not let this scare you: show up, vote, and fight like this country depends on you — because it does." Slotkin's words presaged Trump's refusal last week to sign a bipartisan bill to create more affordable housing.

That potential win for the Republican majority went to waste because Trump's focus is on having Congress pass the SAVE Act, to require more identification from voters in an effort to depress turnout among Democrats.

Congressional Republicans don't have the votes but Trump delights in the deadlock and talk about election fraud. As a result, the Republican majority in the House left town for an early July 4 break without passing a defense policy bill. 

Trump's fixation with stopping a blue wave in the midterms now defines all politics.

Around the country, the president has already succeeded in pressing Republican state legislators to draw new congressional districts to increase the number of seats likely to be won by Republicans.

The Supreme Court made history by weakening the Voting Rights Act to allow some of that mid-decade redistricting. That ruling ignited racial tensions nationally by allowing white Republican state legislators to dismantle majority Black districts that vote for Democrats.

Trump has also pushed the Justice Department to force states to give him access to voter registration rolls so that he can look for voters he thinks should not be allowed to vote.

He still refuses to admit he lost the 2020 presidential election. To this day, most Republican voters do not even support that fraudulent claim. And he has pardoned supporters who led a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in an effort to stop certification of the 2020 election.

It is hard to believe but earlier this year, when confronted with the historical pattern of midterm losses for the party in power, Trump told Reuters: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election."

Now doomsday speculation about the fall election is taking hold in conversations among insiders on Capitol Hill. Political players on both sides of the aisle casually speculate that Trump will press Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to refuse to seat Democrats who would form a new House majority.

That fear grows because the scenario has precedent.

Last year, Johnson delayed the swearing-in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) for nearly two months after she won a special election, in order to shield the president from the release of embarrassing files about his decades-long friendship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

Johnson already did this to delay release of files on Epstein and child sexual abuse. Election rigging is small ball by comparison. More recently, Johnson amplified Trump's unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in California without any evidence of any irregularity.

Most telling in listening to the current rush of scary political fantasy is that it takes the lid off a pot of boiling anxiety with four months to go before the midterms.

The basics of the script is consistent: Democrats win enough competitive House races to claim a majority, but the Speaker delays or refuses to seat members from closely contested districts — citing bogus allegations of voter fraud or unresolved close election disputes.

The fight inevitably lands before the conservative Republican majority on the Supreme Court who has already shown itself to be corrupt and serving partisan interests that protect Trump from accountability.

With potential legal and personal accountability awaiting Trump and his aides if Democrats take control of House subpoena powers, the president prefers having Republicans now in Congress and, ultimately, the Supreme Court decide the election.

Add to that a nation that has grown accustomed to the threatening presence of Trump-controlled military and law enforcement agents in Washington, where Congress ultimately decides the disputed House elections.

It is a constitutional crisis waiting to happen — the "sum of all fears" that could bring the American experiment, now celebrating its 250th anniversary, to its greatest test. 

This would all be a bad political satire if it was not so scary. Comedian Bill Maher summed up Trump's approach to elections during a recent interview with Vice President JD Vance: "Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes an election can be: Either we win, or they cheated. That s— has to stop."

Maher is right. It has to stop.

How a Mafia Autocrat's Mind Works: Sweetheart Deals with Submissive Ass-Kissers

The American Jackass-in-Chief phoned the unassailable ass-kisser FIFA President Gianni Infantino (whose tongue is aching from licking the best-ass-ever-in-the-history-of-mankind, and who awarded a made-up customized ass-kissing "FIFA Peace Prize" to the Jackass-in-Chief not too long ago) and asked him to reverse a red card suspension for American football striker Folarin Balogun. Infantino obliged of course, causing a mounting scandal at this unprecedented political interference.

The American Jackass-in-Chief, whose approval is at the lowest ever because he lied to his herd of morons that he will lower grocery prices that have risen steeply since the he ascended on the American throne, has also phoned Walmart's CEO and asked him to artificially lower its prices (thus forcing Walmart to "eat its losses") so that the herd of obese white trash MAGA morons can buy their junk food and express their gratitude to the Dear Leader for rescuing them from his own incompetence.

This is how Dear Leaders, Dictators, Big Brothers and assorted Top-rank criminals run their countries. Donald Dumb first runs the economy to the ground, building himself palaces, ballrooms, triumphal arcs and such, pardons all convicted criminal felons like him because "he feels their pain", pays off his very rich criminal buddies with tax cuts, wages losing wars with taxpayers money and but without a brain, and hold lavish parties while his people go hungry. Backroom deals in poorly-lit chambers with other cigar-smoking corrupt criminal tycoons and moguls: Do me a favor, will ya? Lower prices. Violate those goddam rules. Let the people think I care for them. And it gets done, because if it doesn't, the Jackass-in-Chief's revenge won't be late coming. 

And what is really absurdly funny on how a dimwit like Trump operates, he blamed the Democrats before he was elected and he still blames them after they've been out of power for two years. He takes no responsibility for his own incompetence. His failed war against Iran and his tariffs have caused prices to soar and inflation to rise (from 3% he inherited from Biden to 4.5% now under him), yet somehow Joe Biden is still responsible. Joe Biden could be in his coffin on his way out of this world and Donald Dumb will still blame him for all the damage he himself, i.e. Donald Dumb, wrought onto the country.

Under a Mafia-style autocrat, this is how things work. Not by laws and regulations. But by personal charm and gentle threat-backed nudges.

Birthright Citizenship, Trump's Racist MAGA Morons and the Genetics of Racism

The racist Radical Right of Donald Dumb is brewing a tempest in a tea cup over birthright citizenship. The fact that this is such a puny insignificant matter (see below) shows an unprecedented level of despair by the neo-KKK bastards of MAGA and the GOP.

Despair at what? At the facts that:

- white anglo-saxon protestants (WASP) in the US are on a steep demographic decline, projected to lose their majority status and become the largest minority some time this century.

- there is enough of a critical mass of non-white, non-anglo-saxon, non-protestant people in the US with a higher fertility rates who were absorbed as US citizens during the European white settler expansion. 

An AI query on Spanish possessions that became American returned the following:  "Most of the United States was once part of the Spanish Empire or its successor, New Spain. Spanish explorers claimed land for the crown in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Oregon."

An AI query on Mexican possessions that became American returned the following: "California, Nevada, Utah, and Texas were entirely within Mexican territory before 1848, with Texas gaining independence in 1836. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) and the Gadsden Purchase (1853) transferred these areas, along with present-day Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma, to the United States"

Many, if not the bulk of, Americans in these states are of Spanish and/or Hispanic descent. According to the MAGA-GOP racists, these people are "kind-of" white, but not white enough, and hence undesirable.

An AI query on French possessions that became American returned the following: "France owned vast territories in North America, which included modern-day states in the Midwest, Great Plains, and Southeast. The most significant portion was Louisiana, which encompassed present-day Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Idaho, as well as the northern half of Texas.  In addition, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York (which the English converted from the Dutch's New Amsterdam, itself a conversion of France's original New Angoulême (or Nouvelle-Angoulême) named in honor of King Francois I, and Acadia (covering Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and parts of New York)."

French people are "white" and are not the object of hate (except for their Catholicism) by the English-KKK-stock of today's racists in the US. But it is included here to show that the US was not born as the MAGA racists dream of it. When it was born at the 1776 revolution, it was a relatively tiny strip of land along the East Coast that housed the 13 English colonies.  (New England Colonies: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The Middle Colonies: Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and the Southern Colonies: Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.).

Black Americans too are part of the same founding stock of Americans since they were brought to this country with the very first English crooks who landed in Virginia in August 1619.  As such, they are even more deserving of their American citizenhood as any of the white barbarians that came after them. These Black Americans represent about 12.5% of the present population, and do not include the millions of Black Africans who arrived to the US as immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean and Latin America. Overall, all people who identify as Black Americans are about 20% of the population.

And not to forget the native Amerindians who were once tagged with having "red skin" and whose DNA is perhaps in every one of us after hundreds of years of rapes and illegitimate breeding. 

Not one American alive today can claim racial or genetic "purity". All Americans are bastards of one type or another. Not one American I asked about their origin claimed to be "pure" - the question is "pure" what? - Pure English? As in those who arrived on the Mayflower? Pure Irish? Pure German? Does "pure white" include white Caucasians whose culture, genetics and traditions are as alien to the English crooks as anyone from the far corners of the world? 

Let me explain the absurdity of racism, especially white racism against non-whites, on the basis of genetics. Human skin color is determined by one factor: The pigment melanin. 

On one extreme, there are NO people with "pure" white skin, i.e. without any melanin at all. The closest to to this extreme reduction of melanin in our skin are the albinos. Someone with no melanin would die immediately from exposure to the sun.

On the other extreme, there are NO people with absolutely pitch-black skin. Someone with so much melanin would also not survive because blocking all sunlight prevents the production of vitamin D (essential for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption) and causes problems related to the body's rhythms (sleep, mood, and adaptation to seasons.

These extremes have been eliminated by natural selection, and all of us humans vary by how much melanin we have in our skin cells. Starting with from the albino extreme, I can think of people with beige, tan, brown, black, mahogany, maroon, burgundy, sienna, ochre, copper, taupe, khaki, chocolate, burnt umber or orange, etc. Some of these people might be perceived as "White" while others might be perceived as "Black". The question is where do you draw the line between what is "white" and what is "black" skin. Since Americans are of such a high levels of racial bastardization, not one of them can claim to be pure white or pure black.

The second critical point is that humans differ by literally millions of differences in their genes, and therefore in the components of their bodies, whether we see those differences or not. Some of these differences are visible, including skin color, eye color, height, weight, bone structure, various shapes of shoulders, hips etc. But even as these visible differences appear significant to us, they are a very insignificant tiny fraction of the millions of differences that we don't see, that are invisible to us. All the proteins, fats, sugars, etc. that make up our bodies beneath the skin vary from one individual to another. 

For example, there are people with a very strong alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme (ADH, to name just one of those millions of differences) compared to others. ADH breaks down the alcohol our body makes or the alcohol we ingest. We don't see that enzyme in our blood, liver, kidneys, brain, stomach... we cannot tell one person with weak ADH from one person with strong ADH by just looking at them. We might see the impact of that difference when people drink: Some can digest alcohol and have no problem drinking it. Others with weak ADH cannot tolerate alcohol and get sick if they drink it. 

The lesson here is that stupid racist humans like MAGA or the KKK judge people on their skin's content of melanin, but do not judge people on their ability to digest and process alcohol. And ADH is only ONE of a million similar differences between humans. On skin color we discriminate, we deport, we deny, we judge, we lynch, we enslave, we whip...., but on ADH we don't. 

Can you see now how ignorant and stupid racism is?

The point of this review is that no one can claim superiority or supremacy on the basis of skin color. Should I hate someone with a 50% Melanin Index in their skin, and feel chummy with someone with a 40% Melanin Index? 

Those whom Trump and his MAGA cabal of white racists want to cull from the US population (by deportations, expulsions, etc.),  or prevent from becoming US citizens (by birthright citizenship denial, limiting immigration from "shithole" countries, persecution, immigration obstacles, etc.), or by forcibly sterilizing visitors to the US, are essentially people with a Melanin Index that crosses an imaginary threshold in the eyes of the dumb racist white beholder. 

Hard as they try, Trump's racists might as well know or learn that people with high Melanin Indices are already genetically embedded in the US population. Efforts by the racist Radical-White-Right neo-KKK Fascists to "keep" America white are not only ignorant, barbaric and uncivilized for a country built by immigrants and people who are all from somewhere else, but are also futile and plain stupid. 

Even if the racist white trash cabal of Trump manages to completely cut off all new immigration from undesirable races and ethnicities, the breeding that has already taken place and that continues to date between all these groups will, in time, create a bunch people that are neither recognizably white nor recognizably non-white. The melting pot, as it were, has already cooked up a new breed of people who are unlike anything the racist white imbeciles imagine. Perhaps, Trump's MAGA should gather a bunch of their ignorant "scientists" like RFK Jr. and other quacks and determine what a qualifying Melanin Index would be for anyone wishing to immigrate to this wilderness of ignorance, violence, racism and hatred.

As you can see, the whole tempest in a tea cup that Trump's MAGA racists are brewing over birthright citizenship is a dud. It is based on stupid hateful racism trying to hide behind a veneer of legality. A very tiny fraction of all births in the US are attributed to mothers who are unlawfully present in the US. 

Only as little as 2,000 babies are born in the US to mothers who deliberately enter the US pregnant to give birth in the US and give their child the US citizenship, the so-called "Birth Tourism". These mothers are in the country LEGALLY, though, having obtained an entry or visitor's visa.

The "unlawfully present" category does NOT include the lawfully present foreign-born mothers, the lawfully present mothers married to US citizens, the lawfully present mothers who are simply visiting the US on a legal visa, or the lawfully present mothers who are here on a student visa and who become pregnant. The MAGA effort to Make America White Again is not about national security or legality or the numbers; it is simply a hateful racist white supremacist effort whose ignorance cannot be overstated.

Congress should restrict birthright citizenship, House speaker says

James Powel, Bart Jansen and Joey Garrison, USA TODAY
Updated Sun, July 5, 2026 

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a July 5 Fox News interview that Congress should take up a legislative effort to curtail birthright citizenship in the wake of the Supreme Court striking down an executive order from President Donald Trump that sought to redefine who is an American.

The Louisiana Republican said on "Fox News Sunday" that the current immigration system is being abused by "birthright tourism" and said that the practice has "devalued" citizenship.

"It's a threat to the rule of law and national security. We do need to address it," Johnson said.

He did not say what piece of legislation would address the matter but that Republicans are "looking at all angles." [In a similar way to Donald Dumb still "having concepts" about fixing the grandiose healthcare scam in the US in replacement of The Affordable Care Act of the best president the US has had in recent years, Barack Hussein Obama]

"If there is a bill that can fix that, we'll advance that immediately," Johnson said.


People demonstrate outside the Supreme Court ahead of President Donald Trump's expected arrival on April 1, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara to determine if President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship is constitutional. According to historians and the Court, this is the first time a sitting president has attended oral arguments at the nation's highest court.(Al Drago, Getty Images)

[Update: The Hard-Right-dominated Supreme Court has trashed Trump's birthright citizenship order

President Donald Trump called on Congress to pass legislation in the wake of his loss at the high court, claiming that "No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!"

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said children born to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily in the United States satisfy the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

A majority of justices found that birthright citizenship is constitutionally protected under the 14th Amendment. Amending the Constitution would require support from two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the nation's state legislatures.

In a concurring opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Congress could establish exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to people in the country illegally.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, and Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, two Trump allies, introduced legislation last year to ban birthright citizenship. The bill acknowledges the right of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment but narrows the definition of persons who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States.

What is 'birth tourism'?

"Birth tourism" is the name authorities give to the practice of parents traveling briefly to the United States to deliver children so the child obtains U.S. citizenship.

The number of babies born to birth tourists in the U.S. is highly disputed because the government does not track the figures. Estimates from researchers have varied from as high as 39,000 annually to as low as 2,000.

But a group of 140 university professors told the Supreme Court in a written argument that birth tourism "accounts for an infinitesimal proportion of children" born in the U.S.

Republicans and Democrats disagree about the importance of acting to curtail birth tourism, with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, previously calling it a "blatant abuse of our immigration laws" while Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, saying it was a "pretty marginal issue."

Johnson suggests new route for SAVE America Act

In the same interview July 5, Johnson said that he will attempt to pass the SAVE America Act, a Trump-backed election reform bill, through budget reconciliation.

"We're going to try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill, and I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate, and finally to the president's desk," Johnson said.

The bill and other House business stalled after a group of Republicans, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Florida, revolted on a procedural motion that led to the chamber being put to recess.

"I just decided it was best to send everybody home to go celebrate July Fourth in their districts. We'll come back, gather everybody together," Johnson said on Fox News. "The big urgency is to get SAVE America passed. The president has that as a top priority, and so do I."

The strict rules in the Senate around budget reconciliation have already prevented the bill from being a part of previous reconciliation bills. Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled earlier this year that the bill violated rules that prevent "extraneous" legislation from being included in the budget process under reconciliation, according to CNN.

City of Richmond, California: A Pioneer in Speaking the Truth About Palestine

A California city that has long been a leading progressive bastion is now leading the changing American landscape on Israel's genocidal crimes and the fake issue of antisemitism that is brandished to shut down any criticism of Israel.

Richmond, California, is a city led by democratic socialist Mayor Eduardo Martinez. Local issues have receded in the background and conversations are more intensely focused on Israel's genocidal war in Palestine's Gaza and West Bank districts. Typical of the Zionist reaction to ANY criticism of an ultra-religious fundamentalist racist ethnic cleanser Zionist government, local Zionists are accusing Mayor Martinez of Jew-hating (under the stale all-encompassing buckshot accusation of antisemitism) because his criticism of Israel is illegitimate and antisemitic.

Stephen London, a dual US-Israel national and a Zionist resident of Richmond complained that the city became the first in the country to pass a ceasefire resolution over Palestine. London's complaint questioned why city leadership is focused on a war thousands of miles away, ignoring in passing that his own concerns, as resident of Richmond, California, also appear obsessed with defending a criminal Zionist regime thousands of miles away. Which raises the eternal question of loyalty of Zionist citizens around the world to their own country or to the Zionist colony in Palestine.

Why is AIPAC (America-Israel Political action Committee), for example, allowed to operate and subvert American domestic policies on both sides of the political divide - it pays off both democrat and republican candidates to secure the winner's support for the criminal Zionist regime thousands of miles away, at the rate of several billion dollars worth of grants and weapons per year.


Vice Mayor at large Eduardo Martinez at a news conference in Richmond, California.

London said his family lives in Israel and that he has visited the country a few times, including volunteering on a kibbutz (for those who don't know what a Kibbtuz is: A Communist-Socialist collective village whose economy operates on the soviet Sovkhoz and Kolkhoz model of communist villages). London admits that he keeps the Israeli citizenship out of ideological obligation toward Zionism (He hasn't been to Israel in several years because he fears for his life), but also the American citizenship just in case Zionists have to flee their declining colony.

The resolution, passed in October 2023, declared Richmond's solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and accused Israel of carrying out "a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment," according to a page on the city's website.

The resolution became a flashpoint for Zionist residents of Richmond, like London, who falsely argue (per the traditional intellectual dishonesty of Zionist propaganda) that thr resolution was aimed more at defending the Palestinian militant group Hamas than criticizing Israeli policies.

In August 2025, Mayor Martinez participated in the People's Conference for Palestine in Detroit, where he wore a hat that said "DD TT IDF," an acronym for "death, death to the IDF." (IDF stands for Israeli Death Forces). The mayor also spoke at the conference, where he compared himself to Palestinians, saying he understood the Palestinians' struggle because he was bullied as a child.

"If Palestine were a schoolyard playground, I would be a Palestinian, and that part of me, that part of me that couldn't endure the abuse anymore, would be Hamas," Martinez said.

In one of his posts, Martinez said in reference to the terrorist attack against Zionists in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, "RIP to all of the victims of Israel's false flag attack. The hero that disarmed the attacker was a Syrian-born Muslim man. That doesn't help the narrative that Israel is trying so hard to push." The same post accused Israel of "trying to manufacture fear and hate." Another post said that "the root cause of antisemitism is the behavior of Israel & Israelis," and was captioned, "They know it. We know it. Everybody knows it..."

Again, faced with the brutal truth and reality of what Israel is doing in Palestine - apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide all have been documented by every Human Rights organization - Zionist propaganda declares Martinez's posts as "dangerously antisemitic, deeply offensive, and wholly unacceptable — particularly coming from a sitting mayor, and reflects "a consistent and deeply troubling disregard for the safety and dignity of Jewish people."

The problem for Zionist propaganda is that it proposes such extremist views that it puts itself in corner from which it cannot escape. To Zionist propagandists, Jew=Israeli= =Zionist. You can't criticize one without criticizing the other two. 

If you criticize Zionism, you are immediately tagged as an antisemite who hates Jews, when this is not necessarily true. And when you shield your Zionism behind Judaism, you are now using Judaism as a human shield against any critique of Zionism.

Furthermore, by equating all three terms - Jew=Israeli=Zionist - any terrorist or militant who has a bone to grind with Zionism (but not against Judaism) is automatically labeled a Jew-hating antisemite. 

Richmond, California, was the first California city to pass a resolution in support of the Palestinian people. The Richmond City Council also accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing."

Residents of Richmond say the mayor is standing on the right side of history by opposing colonial Zionism. Martinez is preparing for his re-election bid and is aligned with both the Democratic Socialists of America and the Richmond Progressive Alliance (RPA), a powerful coalition that has had influence over politics in the city for years.

A Jewish LGBTQ+ leader in the Bay Area, Tyler Gregory, warned that the Jewish community has to strike a balance between being "really careful not to cry wolf" and keeping the public's attention on the issue. 

Pro-Palestine activists hold banners during a protest commemorating Nakba Day - The commemoration of the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine by foreign Zionist settlers - on May 15, 2025, in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The questions raised in Richmond regarding the ongoing Zionist rape of Palestine are witnessing a sharp rise in the political discussions leading to the midterms. The US-Israel war against Iran is a corollary of the central question of our time: The Question of Palestine. The question on many Americans' minds is: Should we continue to blindly support the last foreign colonial occupation and abuse of an indigenous country? Hasn't Israel run out of arguments (biblical garbage and otherwise) to justify its barbarity as a foreign colonial rapist and occupier of an indigenous people? When enough is enough? 

Across the country, the Question of Palestine refuses to disappear from the conversation as much as Zionists like London wish it to disappear because "it is thousands of miles away". Isn't Iran thousands of miles away too? Why has the US assumed the task of being a bouncer for the rapist Zionists? The Zionists cannot have it both ways: Either Israel is a foreign settler that has no business implanting itself in a region where it does not belong, or it should find civilized ways to live as a polite guest who should be grateful for having been initially  welcomed as refugees from an antisemitic West by the Palestinians? Instead, the crazy Zionists are trying to erase Palestine from the maps and erase everything that pertains to a Palestinian identity, not to mention the daily physical extermination of Palestinian men, women, and children by rabid fundamentalist Jewish barbarians squatting and stealing Palestinian lands. 

Palestinian Physician Still Held without Charges by Genocidal Zionist Colony in Palestine

The colonial racist land thief and genocidal ethnic cleanser of Palestine, the "Blight Unto Nations", continues to rampage across illegally-occupied Palestine. Doctors, reporters, nurses, women, children, maternities, schools .... wherever and however they can cull the indigenous Palestinian population to reduce it significantly from its current 50% of the population of historic Palestine (the other 50% consisting of recently-arrived foreign western settlers), the desperate Zionists are doing everything barbaric they can imagine.

That Israel has to resort to such a level of savagery and violence is a symptom of desperation: The prospects of the colonial dream of a paradisiac Bronze-Age-resurrected garbage fantasy in the Near East is fading, slowly but inexorably. Just like all other colonial mass murderers before them did discover after a while, the big lies of blooming the desert, of taming and civilizing the indigenous savages, of bringing democracy, albeit for Jews only, mind you and not for the Palestinians, etc. have soured quickly, over a couple of generations, as expected. The more desperate the Israelis are at contemplating their failure and their grim future, the more violent they become. 

The historical record tells us that when invading colonizers first arrive to a land somewhere around the globe, the indigenous inhabitants at first see them as an exotic curiosity. They most often welcome them, let them stay and establish good relations with them. The "visitors" are typically few and do not pose a threat. But, as history has amply documented, very soon, the colonizers' real insidious intentions began seeping through. They want land. The build their own entrenched settlement. They want exclusive rights to native products. They want free or cheap labor. They want the natives to abandon their culture and religion and adopt those "much better" of the colonizers. Forced conversions, mistreatment (e.g. chopping off arms and legs in punishment, floggings), rapes, killings, burning villages and cultures to clear land for more foreign settlers and for mass production enterprises (plantations, factories...).

Naturally, the natives begin to refuse to cooperate and a budding rebellion starts. The colonizers bring a small brigade of soldiers, ostensibly to protect themselves, but in reality to brutally repress the indigenous owners of the land. 

We've been through this scenario so many times in the history of humankind that it's become a generic script, a universal manual of "How to Colonize" other people. The interaction then turns into battles, according to the colonizers between the "Forces of Good" (i.e. colonizing invading foreign settlers) and the "Forces of Evil" (i.e. the terrorist natives defending themselves against the invaders), while in the narrative of the colonized, it is a war of liberation to end the oppression. It generally, though not always, ends with the natives recovering their land and their freedom.

Israel is no different.

Jailed Gaza hospital chief in life-threatening condition, rights group says


Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia, appears via videolink at the Israeli Supreme Court hearing in Jerusalem, June 10, 2026 [Reuters]
Elis Gjevori
Sun, July 5, 2026 

The son of a Palestinian doctor held by Israel without charge issues an urgent appeal for his father’s release, citing severe abuse and signs of torture after more than 555 days in prison.

The son of a prominent Palestinian doctor abducted and held by Israel without charge has issued an urgent appeal for his father's release, warning that his health has sharply deteriorated after more than 555 days in prison, as a rights group warned that his life was in danger.

Elyas Abu Safia, the son of Dr Hussam Abu Safia, said in a video message on Sunday that his father, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, showed signs of severe abuse after Israeli authorities transferred him to solitary confinement in a maximum-security prison.

"The day before yesterday, the lawyer Nasser Odeh managed to visit my father, where he told us painful details about this visit," said Elyas, who is also a doctor.

"My father was unable to breathe. My father was unable to speak," he said, adding: "His face was disfigured from the marks of torture and pain, and the blood he endured inside the prison, especially after the last court session held in Jerusalem."

Israeli forces arrested Abu Safia at work on December 27, 2024, as they intensified their attacks on northern Gaza's healthcare system as part of the genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza. Two months earlier, an Israeli drone attack killed another of his sons, Ibrahim, at the entrance of the hospital where he worked.

Elyas accused Arab and Muslim leaders of abandoning his father.

"You deprived us even of your voices, your solidarity and your support, which should have been there from the start of the detention," he said.

"But sadly, your silence is a betrayal and a crime, and complicity in torturing my father and the hostages inside Israeli prisons," he added.

'The most shocking testimony'

Physicians for Human Rights Israel warned that Abu Safiya's life is in immediate danger after his transfer to the Rakefet section of Nitzan prison.

The group said lawyer Nasser Odeh visited Abu Safia on July 2 and documented severe injuries, signs of assault, difficulty breathing and repeated loss of consciousness. It said guards brought him into the visit with his hands and feet bound and surrounded him with masked officers.

Odeh also saw fresh bruises and injuries on Abu Safiya's head, around his eyes, ears and neck. The wounds were so severe that the lawyer struggled to recognise him, the group said.

"The information we received raises serious and immediate concerns for Abu Safiya's life. The lawyer's testimony is among the most shocking we have heard since the beginning of the war: a man detained without charge tells his lawyer that he believes they will kill him, after he arrived for the visit injured, suffering from difficulty breathing, and on the verge of losing consciousness," Naji Abbas, director of the Prisoners and Detainees Department at Physicians for Human Rights, told the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Israeli authorities have not filed charges against Abu Safia. They classified him as an "unlawful combatant", a designation Israel has used to hold Palestinians for prolonged periods without trial.

Physicians for Human Rights has demanded his release, along with other imprisoned Palestinian doctors. In March, United Nations experts also called on Israel to free Abu Safia immediately and ensure he receives medical care.

He is one of 14 Palestinian doctors from Gaza currently held by Israel without charge.

[Updated] Sexist MAGA Crucifies Justice Amy C. Barrett, Adoptive Mother of Black Haitian Children

Let me start with congratulations to the dumb MAGA racists. On Birthright Citizenship, please accept my sincerest middle finger:

The illiterate ignorant and dumb peasants of MAGA cannot tolerate dissent. They live in a totalitarian universe - just as exists in North Korea, China, Russia and other places where the "leader" is an infallible god.

Any deviation from the will of the Dear Leader Donald DUMB promptly sends the dissenter from the official dogma to the gallows tree.

In this case, it is a judge, a Justice on the Supreme Court no less, who was appointed by the Dumb-in-Chief himself. She - Amy Coney Barrett - is far, far more intelligent and smart than Donald Dumb's riffraff MAGA sewer dwellers. So just like the barbarian newly Christianized Romans of ancient Egypt who murdered (by stripping her in public and whipping her with seashell whips then dislocating her body, all in the name of Christ) Hypatia of Alexandria, the renown and celebrated female philosopher, mathematician and astronomer who refused to convert, Trump's MAGA mob is now assassinating Justice Barrett because she did her job in good conscience. If they could drag her to the National Mall, torture her and crucify her, they wouldn't hesitate.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett faces MAGA sexist and anti-Catholic attacks for her birthright citizenship position on the latest Supreme Court ruling.



An unprecedented virulent attack is being mounted by hard-right extremist MAGA conservatives against Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett after she voted to uphold birthright citizenship. In trying to MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGAIN, birthright citizenship is one of White Supremacist Donald Dumb's tools in his arsenal to limit immigration to the US from what he calls Shithole Countries, i.e. essentially all countries on earth except Slovenia, Norway and even Russia. 

Barrett concurred with Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the court's three liberal justices in striking down the executive order signed by Trump restricting birthright citizenship. Although Roberts and Kavanaugh are right-wing conservative justices, Barrett's female gender and Catholic faith has made her the object of particularly virulent attacks by Trump's mob (largely white supremacist protestant).

The imbecile from racist slavery state South Carolina, Rep. Nancy Mace, has called to "impeach rogue, activist judges," adding in an unveiled direct threat, "We're looking at you Amy Coney Barrett". Mace continued that "The 14th Amendment was written for freed slaves. Not for birth tourism. The men who wrote it knew the difference. But apparently the female justices on the Supreme Court do not".

Hypocrite sexist and racist conservatives in the US are constitutional "literalists" (textualists who argue that the constitution is a static document that should be implemented "as is" without any interpretation) when it is convenient for them, but become stalwart "living constitutionalists" when convenient as well, who assert that the document is amenable to evolve by interpretation to address modern societal values and new issues not envisioned by the Framers.

For example, MAGA conservatives argue for the literality of the constitution when it comes to the second amendment (The right to bear arms) and refuse to admit that it was written specifically by the Framers to allow the American militia to fight off the English during the Revolution, and not to allow every jackass redneck in Texas, Tennessee and other sordid backward slavery states to own an AR-15 and go around killing other Americans. 

Another hillbilly polygamous Mormon moron MAGA Senator from the State of Utah, Mike Lee, mocked Barrett by saying, "If a woman gives birth at the Supreme Court, is her baby entitled to automatic status as a justice?" Hahahhaa... what a lame imbecile. Mr. Lee, if a woman gives birth in the capitol of Salt Lake City, does the baby automatically become a moron Mormon?

Extremist far-right and virulent xenophobe racist Trump ally Laura Loomer sounded an apocalyptic end-of-times warning (typical of numskull ultra-religious fundamentalist evangelicals). She said that by voting against the president's birthright citizenship executive order Barrett was "effectively sending our country to the grave." Could any criminally-minded racist idiot be any more dramatic? Yes, Loomer is an amateur when it comes to the height of American conservative barbarity.

Hard-right extremist and woman-hater conservative Matt Walsh called Barrett a "DEI hire, little better than Kentanji Jackson" who is an African American Justice on the Supreme Court. Since Barrett is white, she is a "little better" than Jackson in Walsh's KKK mind. Note that Barrett was appointed to the Supreme Court by none else that Walsh's white supremacist hero, one Donald Dumb who has led a crusade against DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). Donald Dumb has implemented his own DEI, namely (Dumbification, Empty-headedness and Intolerance/Iniquity) policies.

Walsh is not shy about attacking ALL AMERICAN WOMEN: "The worst Supreme Court Justices of all time have all been women... That's just a fact. Republican presidents should take the hint."

And I suggest that the women of America should also take the hint and deal with it at the ballot box in November. Donald Dumb's MAGA universe hates women and wants them  locked up in the kitchen, barefoot, making babies and not allowed to vote because 1- they are low-IQ (according to the Great Moron himself), and 2- to increase the demographics of inbred white-trash American imbeciles.

And adding Evangelical "divine bullshit" to the racist sexist chowder pot, an Arizona Pastor by the name of Dale Partridge and whose brain is no different from that of a Taliban Mullah or an Iranian Ayatollah (except for the name of his religion) posted one of the scintillating brilliant ideas that actually made America great, namely that "the Garden of Eden shows that women are by nature more easily deceived" and that "men are designed to rule." Problem solved, fucking God has spoken in his garbage Torah. End of discussion. "No more women judges or politicians," he solemnly concluded, showing a picture of Barrett.

What really peeves even more these Neanderthal evangelical white supremacist racists is that Barrett is the adoptive mother of two Black children from Haiti. And that is a mortal sin for the barbarian Christians of Protestant America. What is worse than being Black, Barrett's children are from Haiti, the country whose immigrants "eat cats and dogs" according to the criminal felon and idiot Donald Dumb.

Barrett's Catholic faith does not help her either. Catholics are "papists" and the latest row between Donald Dumb and Pope Leo has cast Barrett as an accomplice of the Pope against the US Great Moron.

What is uncannily disturbing is that two other white male justices, Roberts and Kavanaugh, wrote the ruling, but you wouldn't hear a slight condemnation of them by the MAGA herd of buffaloes. They are MALES and they are WHITE. That is as close to the racist sexist barbarian Evangelical God as anyone can be, and therefore they are left alone.

===========================================

And to demonstrate the savagery of MAGA, now foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs because the SUPREME COURT just sang in chorus with the Founders, the Framers, the Fathers and all the white mercantile traitors to their king and country of England:

O Come, All Ye Tourists like us, bring thy pregnant women to this lawless land and give the US citizenship to thy children, just like all our "tourist" forefathers who arrived here illegally between 1620 and 1776, murdered all the natives, and gave themselves the said citizenship by betraying their king and their country of origin because they didn't want to pay taxes... just as we still do today. We stole this country from its native indigenous citizens, and now we want to be the only ones here. We smashed the doors walking in and now we are building walls to prevent others from coming in.

WARNING TO FOREIGN  TOURISTS VISITING THE US:  As part of your visa application, you may have to submit yourself to being sterilized at US embassies, consulates or points of entry so as not to become pregnant and give your child the US citizenship. The sterilization method is, however, very safe and documented by the German Nazi practices of sterilizing "unwanted" people. That is at least what Donald Dumb's MAGA are suggesting! You can have the American bullshit Dream as long as you agree to "voluntarily" become infertile.

Sterilizing foreigners, dissolving the US. MAGA eyes birthright next steps

Zac Anderson, USA TODAY
Updated Wed, July 1, 2026

Impeaching judges, sterilizing foreign visitors, dissolving the union – some prominent conservatives suggested extreme measures could be called for in the wake of a Supreme Court decision upholding birthright citizenship.

The court found that Trump's executive order last year targeting birthright citizenship is illegal under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

The ruling sparked widespread outrage on the right, which has rallied around President Donald Trump's push to restrict the constitutional provision granting automatic citizenship to anyone born in the country.


People demonstrate outside the Supreme Court ahead of President Donald Trump's expected arrival on April 1, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara to determine if President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship is constitutional. According to historians and the Court, this is the first time a sitting president has attended oral arguments at the nation's highest court.(Al Drago, Getty Images)

Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of The Federalist online magazine, wrote in a social media post that there are "several ways forward" after the ruling. Among them: Adding more justices to the Supreme Court and mandating "sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry."

Davis also mentioned dissolving the union, writing "A nation which can't even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn't a nation."

Jack Posobiec, another conservative media figure, said in a social media post that "The court never said we can't mandate spot pregnancy tests for foreigners."

Many on the right lashed out at conservative justices who joined the majority decision.

A protester's sign is seen during demonstrations outside the U.S. Supreme Court on April 01, 2026 in Washington, DC.

"Impeach rogue, activist judges," Rep. Nancy Mace, R-South Carolina, wrote on social media. "We're looking at you Amy Coney Barrett."

Conservative [moronic dumb blonde] podcaster Megyn Kelly also slammed Barrett. "I'm sick of Barrett. I'm sick of this bull***t by Barrett, I gotta be honest," Kelly said on her show.The outpouring of anger on the right prompted pushback from some conservatives. "The right-wing meltdown over the citizenship case is shockingly dishonest," wrote Gregg Nunziata, an aide for Secretary of State Marco Rubio when he was in the Senate and now the executive director of the Society for the Rule of Law, a group founded by conservative legal figures from previous Republican administrations.

"The ruling preserves the status quo," added Nunziata. "The majority landed where most conservative scholarship has been."

Trump has pushed a hardline immigration agenda centered around mass deportations, but targeting birthright citizenship may have been his most aggressive move. It clashed with how the Constitution has long been understood and sought to dramatically redefine who gets to be a citizen. Trump was deeply invested in the case, attending Supreme Court arguments, a first for a sitting president.

Demonstrators holds up an anti-Trump sign outside the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on June 27, 2025.

The president described birthright citizenship as an "anchor" wrapped around the country's neck, but Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said, "Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights − to freely participate in our political community."

"The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' We keep that promise today," Roberts added.

The loss had some conservatives lamenting about the path forward. Vice President JD Vance, appearing on Fox News, said the ruling was "disappointing" and a "major, major mistake" but said it had a "silver lining."

It showed there is significant support among the justices for ending birthright citizenship, which Vance said is "hanging by a thread." Four of the justices said Trump's executive order didn't violate the 14th Amendment, although one said it violated a 1952 immigration law.

"We have to keep fighting because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision, just as we've reversed so many bad decisions throughout the generations," Vance said.

Steve Bannon, a prominent MAGA media figure, opened his podcast on June 30 by declaring it was a "day that will live in infamy" but said the fight wasn't over.

"You know what we're going to do? We're going to get up and dust ourselves off and we're going to go to war," Bannon said.

Has Israel's Decline Begun?

In the early 20^th century, Israel was created at a time when the Arab Muslim world had little to offer except "potential" oil beneath the sands and perhaps a railroad route to the colonies of the West in the Far East. European settlers in Palestine were deemed by the West, esp. by the Anglo-Americans, as a sure beachhead for access to the oil. The threat of Communism and the Cold War didn't exist yet.

That worked for a while. Israel was protected because its “army” was essentially a militia set up by the West against potential robbers coveting the oil fields further afield in the Arabian Peninsula. 

Now the price for continuing to use the Jewish colony in Palestine as an outpost to protect access to oil is rising steeply, along with serious doubts about its obsolescence and utility. To continue supporting five million Western settlers in Palestine who have little to offer, the West is discovering it has been antagonizing hundreds of millions of Arabs and billions of Muslims who have gargantuan potential interests to offer. 

Geographically, the collective position of the Near East, the Arabian Peninsula, and farther inland into the Middle East (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan...), PLUS the arc of Muslim central Asian countries that used to be in the Soviet Union (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) represent a global strategic choke point against Chinese penetration toward the West. 

None of these countries had any significant strategic interest for the West after the end of WWI and the beginning of the decolonization process, except as mentioned earlier for "potential" oil reserves. Nowadays, these countries and their region have been decolonized, have become affluent and more or less democratized (at least more democratic than the barbarian Jewish theocracy and ridiculous 'democracy for Jews only', Israel), with access to information and growing technological savvy, and with significant deposits of not only oil and gas but more critical metals and rare earth minerals. Except for maritime routes, China's modern silk roads will have to go through this region. 

Hence, this entire region, virtually entirely Islamic and theoretically anti-Israel as a non-Muslim, foreign, colonizer and tormentor of Palestine's Muslims, is becoming much more valuable to the West than puny, pathetic, constant-headache, human-rights-violator, genocidal Israel. If forced to choose between five million non-Christian racist settlers with nothing to offer other than a constant and perpetual source of guilt, and two billion non-Christian and large countries with so much to offer, guess who the West will ultimately choose? 

Take the precedent of South Africa: After more than three centuries of white minority barbarian rule, the West chose to abandon the white racist settlers because the vast African continent has so much more to offer than a bunch of racist white barbarians huddled at the southern tip of the continent. That racist white supremacist American Donald Dumb is giving asylum in the US to the remnants of the white Afrikaners is a foretelling harbinger of the direction Israel will ultimately have to go through. Five million white Jews, given asylum in the US, would be a boost to the white supremacist and ostensibly fake "Judeo-Christian" persuasion of Trump's illusory "White America". At the same time, the entire Middle East without an Israel would be at peace and its oil, gas and mineral reserves would be a great source of sustained collaboration between the Arab-Muslim region and the West, and a solid obstacle to the economic expansion of China.

Alienating all these peoples and their countries just to support five million foreign western settlers with dual European and American nationalities in Palestine no longer makes business or political sense. That is why Israel represents the last and obsolete bastion of western colonialism anywhere around the globe. Israel has become an expensive anomaly to maintain, expensive in both money and strategic interests.

When it was founded in the late 19th, early 20th century, traditional barbarian colonialism was still in vogue, and implanting a colony in Palestine seemed like a great idea that was camouflaged by the English crooks under a so-called "homeland" for Jews who were persecuted by the same westerners who were pushing them into the "homeland". Remember, antisemitism is a purely western concept that took flight when early Christians (themselves rebel progressive Jews) got into a conflict with traditionalist conservative Judaism that rejected the claim of Jesus as the Messiah. At the turn from the 19^th to the 20^th centuries, the wave of antisemitism was growing in Europe and the European-settled Americas: The Dreyfus Affair in France, the rise of Fascism in Spain and Italy, of Nazism in Germany and to some extent in the US itself, and the climax of it all with the Holocaust ... all were couched in profound antisemitism. Thus, it made sense for the Westerners to rid themselves of the Jews by sending them to settle Palestine AND use these fellow westerners as a mercenary militarized outpost in the heart of the Middle East to protect western access to the nascent oil fields in the region.

That formula worked for the most part through the 20th century. All the exactions and barbarity displayed by the western Jewish settlers against the indigenous Palestinians were ignored and forgiven. After all, the colonized are also “lesser” Semites for whom the West didn’t care much, if at all. The utility of Israel for the West was first tested when France and Britain used Israel’s military in the 1950s to prevent Egypt from nationalizing the Suez Canal. Israel failed that test, Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, and it was downhill from there despite the appearances.

But now, this formula, this paradigm, is beginning to show cracks. For one thing, several wars have been waged with little gains. Generations have passed and western guilt at the Holocaust is fading. I can well imagine today’s generation of Europeans (not only Germans, but French, Poles and others) telling themselves, “We had nothing to do with the Holocaust. Why should we continue to feel pity and sympathy for a barbarian ultra-religious fundamentalist colonizer whose victim migrants continue to flood our continent? And why should we let that pity stand in the way of justice for other more deserving peoples and for our own interests? The ‘colonized’ are no longer colonized and are not the savages we thought they were. At the very least, they are no more savages than the Zionist settlers themselves. They are free, independent, sovereign and self-sufficient nations, many with wealth and oil and gas. They can no longer be ignored as the backward savages that our ancestors believed them to be.”

Israel is now a burden on the West which can no longer support it blindly. Supporting Israel against the rights, wishes and aspirations of Arab and Muslim peoples, with an independent and free Palestine being at the top of the list such rights, wishes and aspirations, jeopardizes much bigger interests that did not exist 100 years ago.

Those who advised Arabs, who were emerging from 400 years of abysmal Turkish Ottoman occupation, to initially bend a little with the wind and accept Israel until such a time as they have developed their nations and brought into the modern world, now see their advice becoming reality. In the past, in fact in the very recent past, someone like Netanyahu could bamboozle the world at the UN by declaring that his puny pathetic and violent colony is a vanguard of western civilization in an otherwise savage and barbaric east. But nowadays, people around the world are wondering who is the real barbarian colonial rapist that allows itself, regardless of whatever affront it might have suffered at the hands of downtrodden abused ghettoized people trying to liberate themselves from its barbaric occupation, to kill hundreds of thousands of people, starve and displace millions, and condescendingly think of millions of people as disposable vermin and human animals. These people were invaded, occupied, raped and their land taken away from them, and millions of them were summarily evicted into refugee concentration camps without any right to return to their places of origin. What do you expect them to do? What would you do if you faced such an existential abomination?

This is no longer the 18th and 19th centuries. Israel may have started as a homeland for Jewish refugees, but 100 years later it has become a savage colonial rapist. And suddenly the West is assessing the balance sheet of the creation of the Zionist colony in Palestine, and is coming to terms with the fact that Israel is now more of an embarrassing and very costly burden that not only offers comparatively little but is the source of many of the problems of the West.

Europe and the Americas have to worry about their interests in the Near East, in the Arabian Peninsula and beyond, all the way to the borders of rising behemoths like India and China. For a century, the West could afford to alienate these nations in order to maintain its Jewish Zionist colony in Palestine. But now the math doesn’t add up anymore. There is so much more to gain, and perhaps to fear, from all these Arab and Muslim nations who were powerless up until the recent past. The cost to the West of preserving Israel against the wishes and aspirations of these peoples and nations is becoming too expensive strategically and geopolitically. 

The question of Palestine is now central. It is not true that the Zionist colony has managed to erase the Palestinian tragedy from the world’s conscience. To the contrary, Palestine has seen a monumental return onto the global stage and keeps requiring a solution. If Israel continues on its path of ethnic cleansing and genocide just to ensure it is a cutesy little exclusive Jewish vacation resort on the Mediterranean, it will lose the little sympathy and support it has left from its former colonial creators and breast feeders.  Countries like Spain, Ireland, France, the UK.... are all moving to ostracize Israel and are demanding a free and independent state of Palestine, both for justice’s sake and for strategic objectives. Even the US is growing tired and exhausted from having to be the only country on earth to still defend Israel’s illegality and refusal to abide by international law at the UN. Even Israel's best friend, Donald Trump, the dumb idiot who was led by the nose by Netanyahu into a failing war, has reacted violently to the Israelis refusing to abide by his directives and help him secure a ceasefire, and for generally countering US interests in the region.

As I have argued previously in posts, colonial enterprises generally fail after a while. Algeria, Indochina (Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia….), China, Africa, India, the Arab Moors in Spain, the Crusaders in Palestine, and many other instances where a colonizer had to pack up and leave one day. Colonizers succeed only when the numbers of colonial invading settlers reach a critical mass and overwhelm the colonized natives (e.g. the Ottoman invasion and seizure of former Greco-Roman territories to form modern Turkey; the European invasion and seizure of the Americas...). But when the colonizer is a minority diving insolently and arrogantly into a sea of colonized people, and regardless of its momentary power and might, it ends up losing and leaving even after a while. Israel as a colonial enterprise has seen its apogee but is now beginning to wear and tear and depreciate in the eyes of those who created it and supported it. Instead of supporting five million barbarian foreign Semitic settlers, the West will likely, in due course, prefer to support hundreds of millions of indigenous Semites and Asiatic Indo-Europeans. 

Israel might still have a chance to survive if it decides to start making friends and provide justice for those it is otherwise killing and maiming. In its growing confrontation with the rising superpowers of India and China, the West might have to sacrifice puny and insignificant Israel for greater interests. The West already went through such a metamorphosis when, in the wake of two Israeli-Arab wars (1967 and 1973) and the Arab oil embargo (1973) that followed them, the West invited Yasser Arafat in 1974 to the UN where he told the world that “there is such a thing as a Palestinian people”, contrary to what the ugliest female prime minister that ever existed, Israeli PM Golda Meir, declared one day, “There is no such thing as a Palestinian people”. The West responded to the oil embargo by recognizing the existence of a Palestinian people and declaring Yasser Arafat's PLO as the official representative of the Palestinian people. I wouldn’t be surprised if the West caved once more in the face of similar threats and declared the creation of a free, independent and sovereign Palestinian state in spite of the Zionists. 

How the Trump Tribe is Cashing in Big Time on Patriarch Don's Time in the Outhouse

The Royal American 'MAGA' Family

Republicans and MAGA criminals hunted Hunter Biden for using his father's presidential clout to make one, just ONE, deal with a foreign government. 

But the entire Trump tribe - sons, daughters, cousins, sons-in-law, associates and their families - is cashing in big time from their patriarch Dozy Don's sojourn in the White House. They in fact pretend to be negotiating peace while in fact making and using lucrative business deals as a negotiating card.

The American people are suddenly realizing that Donald Trump's entire political thrust was simply and exclusively aiming at taking power IN ORDER to use that position of power to make money. The White House is businessman Donald trump's storefront. Trump got into politics and ran for office ONLY to make money once in office, all the rest of Make America Great Again and its related racist, isolationist, protectionist, nativist and xenophobic slogans serving only to fool voters, especially the herd of illiterate peasant morons who believed him, to vote for him. 

Which explains why he has reneged or failed to deliver on all the campaign promises he made, or why it is so easy for him to turn against friends like Israel when it becomes an obstacle to making money from Gulf Arabs. He has achieved his objective: He is making money and the hell with everything else.

I hope the Trump tribe will be in turn hunted down like parasites once Dozy Don is out of office.

Wall Street Journal: Trump family ‘cashing in on the presidency in big and sketchy ways’

Ashleigh Fields
Thu, July 2, 2026

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board published a Wednesday op-ed slamming President Trump and his family for "cashing in on the presidency" after his financial disclosures showed the president brought in $2 billion last year alone.

Trump's crypto venture, effectively managed by the Trump Organization, reaped in more than $526.8 million in proceeds from tokens sold by World Liberty Financial.

The benefits weren't exclusive to Trump's sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. but also helped support the family of special envoy Steve Witkoff, including his son, Zach Witkoff. The Witkoff family co-founded the decentralized finance platform and crypto business in question.

"Americans tell pollsters they don't think they are getting ahead financially. But President Trump and his family are having no trouble, judging from his 2025 financial disclosure report released Tuesday," The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote.

"The Trump clan is cashing in on the Presidency in big and sketchy ways. The 927-page report shows Mr. Trump made some $1.4 billion last year from crypto alone. Yowzers," they added in reference to the president's recent financial disclosure.

They cite the odd timing for the meme coin's launch, which happened days before Trump's inauguration.

"The Trumps are seeing their opportunities and taking them, in the tradition of what Tammany Hall's George Washington Plunkitt called 'honest graft,'" the board wrote, referring to the idea of profiting from insider political knowledge without breaking the law.

"Assuming all of this is legal, it's still an unseemly display of using the Presidency for family profit," it continued.

In addition to Trump's earnings from the crypto venture, his family organization pooled more than $77.4 million in revenue last year from his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, which he visits often on the weekends, coupled with a more than $121.8 million in revenue from his nearby golf course in Doral, Fla.

Meanwhile, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., both executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization, have helped expand its global real estate and hotel footprint, with major upcoming developments and licensing projects in India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Serbia, Romania and the Maldives.

"It's hard to believe the Trump boys would be able to do the same deals if Dad wasn't in the Oval Office. The main difference between Hunter Biden's foreign dealings and the Trump projects is that the Trumps are brazenly open about theirs," the op-ed reads.

The president said in Wednesday remarks that his businesses are booming because of the stock market, noting that "everybody is profiting."

However, polls show affordability remains a top concern for Americans as gas prices remain high due to the war in Iran.

The Wall Street Journal board warned of the political consequences tied to ignoring the current economic state of most citizens.

"If Democrats take back the House or Senate this November, they will have a field day probing the Trump family deals. Charges of GOP corruption will resound through 2028. This will feed the left's class warfare and facile narrative that billionaire 'oligarchs' are getting rich off government," the op-ed reads.

"Foreigners may come to think they can buy American goodwill or favors if they cut the Trumps in on the action. Americans, and especially his supporters, deserve better from this or any President," it continues.

Lebanese Maronite Christian Traitor Gebran Bassij Has no Opinion on Framework Agreement

Gebran Bassil holding a rocket gifted to him by his Hezbollah buddies for his undying support to Hezbollah's activities and rape of the country. His smile was in response to someone who suggested to him what to do with the personalized toy rocket.

Gebran Bassil is one of many Christian Lebanese leaders. But unlike all the others, he is solely responsible for assisting Hezbollah's rape of Lebanon and for the situation in which the country finds itself today.

1. Bassil reversed the political line of his father-in-law Michel Aoun by forcing the senile old man to become an ally of his erstwhile enemy Hezbollah and signing a 2006 Memorandum of Understanding with the Iranian terrorist organization; and

2. By creating a Christian political party (Free Patriotic Movement, or FPM) that is a rare Christian vassal of Muslim Hezbollah, Bassil has provided a Christian fig leaf of respectability and acceptability to the fundamentalist terrorist organization.

Bassil knew all along that his alliance with Hezbollah would be a disaster for the country. Yet he pursued it for the sole objective of using Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc to get his senile incontinent father-in-law Michel Aoun elected to the presidency. Once in the presidency, Aoun's term turned into a do-nothing debacle of collapse that climaxed into Hezbollah's near seizure of power (via Aoun), the collapse of the economy and the degrading of the domestic currency the Lira, and the Beirut Port explosion. Bassil supported Hezbollah's continued warmongering against Israel by pretending to buy into the pretext of a hypothetical Israeli occupation of disputed tiny strips of land along the border, something he used to denounce before 2006. 

Then, when it became clear to Bassil that his vassalization to Hezbollah is not turning the country around from corruption and lawlessness, and that the mounting rejection of Hezbollah by the Lebanese population and the international community is putting his political future at enormous risk (he is under sanctions by the US Treasury), he made a shameless U-turn without in the least apologizing to the Lebanese people. Bassil is now, again, kind-of, sort-of anti-Hezbollah.

In 2006, Bassil switched from his denunciation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization created by Iran and beholden to Syria's Assad to defending Hezbollah's "resistance" charade. Whereas in the past he and Michel Aoun decried Hezbollah as a pro-Syria, pro-Iran terrorist organization, Bassil re-wrote the entire narrative of his party once he signed the MoU with Hezbollah: Syria was no longer an enemy but an ally. Israel was longer an indifferent secondary actor but became the enemy. Hezbollah was no longer an Iranian terrorist organization but a Lebanese national resistance. The Shebaa Farms was no longer a big lie invented by Syria's Assad to maintain the pretext of Hezbollah's resistance, but Lebanese territory that needed to be liberated, etc... The reason politicians like Bassil have the gall to completely reverse their political positions is because the Lebanese people are trained slaves who follow leaders like sheep and never hold them accountable when they veer off the principles for which they were initially voted for. When you speak to the average Lebanese, they curse and criticize the people they voted for, then vote for them again and again.... 

Some time around 2024, Bassil felt the winds of change: By then the Lebanese people have had it with Hezbollah, and Bassil and his FPM realized that Hezbollah was toxic and that its toxicity was preventing the country from recovering. More to the point, Bassil began losing popularity among the Lebanese Christians because his alliance with Hezbollah brought nothing but disasters to the Christians and the country at large. 

For one thing, Bassil himself wanted to lick the boots of his American enemies so they lift the sanctions off him. Some of his enslaved co-conspirators in his Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) began peeling off and quitting the party. They - Ibrahim Kanaan, Simon Abi-Ramia, Alain Aoun (a nepotistic nephew of the senile old man) - are MPs who are as responsible as Bassil for the damage done by Hezbollah to the country because they defended it and used it to scuttle the work of Parliament for years. 

But like Bassil, some time around 2024 they began realizing the predicament in which they had put themselves and the country. So Kanaan, Abi-Ramia and A. Aoun slowly and almost silently, so as not to raise the ire of their Christian followers, walked out of the FPM without offering any explanation as to why they were suddenly reversing course, again. Unfortunately in Lebanon, the hybrid Semitic tribal-European feudal sociopolitical system, otherwise known as the "consensual democracy" masquerade, precludes people from holding their representatives accountable. Even as they hate their representatives' corruption and lack of principles, Lebanese voters are generally morons who continue to vote for the same criminals and corrupt politicians they otherwise criticize and curse. 

Other ardent defenders of Hezbollah from the FPM, like Lebanese-American Tony Haddad and Gabriel Issa, joined Michel Aoun and Gebran Bassil in 2006 and metamorphosed themselves overnight into Hezbollah lovers (their argument being that the Muslim Shiite fundamentalist terrorists are "better" - how? nobody knows - than their Muslim Sunni fundamentalist counterparts). Never mind that Tony and Gaby spent decades lobbying Zionist members of Congress (e.g. Eliot Engel) in Washington DC against Syria's sponsorship of Hezbollah. At this time, these chameleons have suddenly disappeared from the political scene. Issa who was rewarded by M. Aoun with the Lebanese ambassadorship in DC for a couple of years is nowhere to be heard or seen. No one knows where he is hiding now after having once declared that "Hezbollah should multiply its missiles stock in the south by hundreds and thousands in southern Lebanon". It is not known if Issa has recovered the naturalized US citizenship he had to surrender to become Lebanon's ambassador to the US. 

For his part, Tony Haddad who owned a gas station in Washington DC for a while tried to shove himself in the Hezbollah-Israel negotiations over the maritime borders and offshore gas explorations along the  Lebanon-Israel maritime borders.  Apparently, Haddad felt that his owning a gas station made him an expert in offshore gas exploration!! In addition, he believed that his ties to Eliot Engel, the Zionist Congressman for New York, together with his 2006 rapprochement with Hezbollah following Aoun-Bassil's signing of the MoU with Hezbollah, made him uniquely positioned to lead the negotiations. But, Bassil is an imbecile who wanted the gas exploration experience all to himself and who as a mini-autocrat hates competition, so he summarily kicked Haddad out of his father-in-law's presidential palace. Again, no one knows what has happened to Haddad and where he may be hiding.

Given the untenable position of the FPM as a supporter of Hezbollah, albeit a more timid one right now, under the present conditions, Bassil is trying to walk a Jesuitic fine line. He cannot get himself to denounce, like Hezbollah, the trilateral (US, Lebanon, Israel) Framework Agreement as an act of treason, nor can he endorse it for fear of alienating himself with Hezbollah. So he showed up the other day at the "palace" of neanderthal Shiite leader, Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, and made some vacuous statements that reflect his non-committal and his fence-sitting. He couldn't clearly endorse President Aoun's negotiations with Israel, nor could he frontally attack it. Instead, he stated that the Framework Agreement between Israel and Lebanon "requires responsible engagement" and that it "will be beneficial if all our rights are restored, but it will be dangerous if it is a recipe for civil war." You see, Bassil still hopes, like most Maronite Christian leaders in Lebanon, to become President one day. So he has to speak from both sides of his mouth to stay on good terms with everyone, which means he has nothing of substance to say. Like a eunuch, he is willing to give up his Christian balls in order to gain access to the Shiite Muslim harem.

Bassil urged that all parties "must avoid falling into this trap" and stressed the need for "responsible engagement" to ensure the agreement leads to "liberating the lands, strengthening the state and establishing peace" rather than internal strife. He also previously indicated that the MoU he signed with Hezbollah remains a priority "but needs improvements" to address current challenges, warning that failing to implement it could lead to reconsidering the alliance. What a jerk. He cannot get himself to admit that he made a strategic mistake by enabling Hezbollah's destruction of the country, as he fears for his dwindling and nearly extinct popularity among the Christian community. But he tries to buy the little popularity he has left by "threatening" Hezbollah with "reconsidering" his alliance with it. Yeah, there's still time for this idiot at this midnight hour to reconsider an alliance that not only did fail as expected, but that has long been dead. Bassil's failure to admit that failure is as tragic as it is pathetic.

Hopefully, the Lebanese people, the Maronite Christians in particular, will hold this traitor accountable for what his alliance with Hezbollah has done to their country.
