Message to the 77 million MAGA Morons who Voted for Donald Dumb

He lied to you so you dumb idiots vote for him, but once you voted for him, he's dropping you like a dirt bag. To him, you are prostitutes to be used then dumped. He's not even paying you. In fact, he's taking the miserable taxes you pay and giving them to himself and all his billionaire buddies.

His plan all along was to Make America a Gutter Again. Did you notice that the only thing he mentions as his motive is MONEY. When he says WE're gonna be rich, he means his billionaire corporate buddies, not you.

He did after all call dead US soldiers and prisoners of war (John McCain) dumb suckers & losers for losing their lives in defense of the country. 

Believe me: You'll live to regret your vote until the day you die.

Trump rode MAGA voters to victory. Now he's abandoning them.

Trump no longer needs MAGA voters, so he's gutting Medicaid and laying off veterans
Rex Huppke, USA TODAY
Updated Wed, February 26, 2025

Dear MAGA voters:

President Donald Trump thanks you for your service, but he has determined you are now expendable. Please enjoy your Denny’s omelet surcharge and keep buying MAGA merchandise and Trump family cryptocurrency!

If Trump was capable of honesty, that’s the note his supporters would be getting. It would be better than the “So long, suckers” message the president is sending via his administration’s priorities and reckless actions.
Trump promised you a rose garden, MAGA. Instead you'll get dirt.

Outside of some draconian actions on immigration and transgender rights, the kind of cruelty he promised his base, consider where we’re at since Trump has taken office.

An unelected billionaire – Elon Musk – is ripping though the federal government like he owns the place, firing workers right and left, including thousands of veterans while the Republican Congress just watches.

Elon Musk holds up a chainsaw onstage during the Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington, D.C., on Feb. 20, 2025.

Trump has been musing about taking over Gaza and Greenland and the Panama Canal and Canada while siding with Russia and alienating America’s strongest allies in Europe. His scattershot tariffs have created economic uncertainty, rattling the stock market and leading to economic reports like this, from Reuters:

“The Conference Board said consumer confidence deteriorated in February at its fastest pace in three-and-a-half years, with estimates for 12-month domestic inflation surging amid worries that U.S. tariffs on imports would raise prices for households.”

Layoffs, jittery markets aren't going to help your grocery prices

On Tuesday, the head of Alcoa, a Pittsburgh-based aluminum company, said Trump’s tariffs on aluminum imports could result in 100,000 job losses in the industry. CEO William Oplinger said: “It’s bad for American workers.”

Demonstrators gather outside of the Office of Personnel Management in Washington, D.C. on February 7, 2025 to protest federal layoffs and demand the termination of Elon Musk from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

I’m sorry, but I was told electing Trump would be good for American workers. In fact, I was told specifically that food prices would swiftly go down and that the country would waltz into a new Golden Age.

Well, it’s looking increasingly like that was – GASP! – a lie, and once Trump won the election and was able to do away with his myriad legal issues, he immediately abandoned the “forgotten men and women” he so sincerely promised to champion and went straight to helping himself and his fellow billionaires.

For proof of Trump's priorities, look at the billionaires lining his Cabinet.

Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts summed it up on the House floor Tuesday while speaking out about a GOP budget that will, among other things, gut the Medicaid program many Trump voters rely on:

“We all saw this coming. ... Last month, Trump’s inauguration, who was in the front row? It wasn't people on Medicaid. It wasn't factory workers. It wasn't nurses or teachers or firefighters. It wasn't even his own Cabinet. It was the richest people in the world.”
WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 20: Meta and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Lauren Sanchez, Founder of Amazon and Blue Origin Jeff Bezos, CEO of Google Sundar Pichai and Tesla, SpaceX and X CEO Elon Musk attend the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC.

For any forgotten men and women of America, that should have been a red flag. Trump had won on the backs of Americans who bought into his dishonest populist message. And since he got what he wanted, since he saved his own hide, the people who matter are clearly the ones with money.

So in comes Musk, deemed brilliant by virtue of wealth. His smug talk of “wokeness” and diversity, equity and inclusion might trigger the pleasure centers of MAGA supporters. But they’re learning Musk’s ax is swinging for necks that include their own.
Wait a minute, I didn't know DOGE might fire people I don't hate!

Consider what Fox News’ Jesse Watters, a Trump toady if there ever was one, said after realizing that a friend of his – “a guy I met at a shooting event in New Jersey” – who is a 20-year military veteran about to get laid off from the Pentagon by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE:

“He texted me and he said, ’Jesse, you know, this isn't good. I’m upset. This is really sad.’ And this guy is not a DEI consultant. This guy is not a climate consultant. This guy is a veteran. So when you’re talking about DOGE-ing people, veterans should get priority. Because if you’re going to go out there and kill enemies, put your life on the line for this country, you shouldn't be in the same category as people that are doing DEI.”

A demonstrator holds a sign reading "Who Voted for Elon Musk? Nobody!" as people protest against President Donald Trump and DOGE Elon Musk's anticipated plan to close the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in front of the CFPB headquarters in Washington, DC, Feb. 10, 2025.

Previously on Fox News, Watters had squawked excitedly about the DOGE firings, saying things like “DOGE is dishing out spankings like ‘Daddy Daycare’ ”; “There was a huge exodus over at the National Archives, persnickety librarians were getting DOGE’d silly”; and “DOGE is a blessing from the heavens above.”

You see how that works? It’s all good when it somehow relates to Watters’ definition of “others,” but not when it involves someone he knows – one of those “real Americans,” I suppose.

And of course he overlooks the fact that veterans have long been considered a part of the “diversity” in DEI. Trump's con was apparent. Those who didn't see it are about to feel it.

As the tens of thousands of federal layoffs continue, Trump voters are going to feel the impact more acutely in their own communities and social circles.

We’re talking about an enormous number of people about to be out of work, and there will be veterans and MAGA supporters among them, cast off from their jobs and forced to reckon with food prices that haven’t gone down and federal services – like Medicaid – that may well dry up.

Trump got what he needed out of his voters. And assuredly, he’ll still do his best to fleece the diehards with dodgy crypto investments and any other thing he can slap his name on and sell.

But for all intents and purposes, he’s done with you all. He cares only about the billionaires who line his Cabinet and his own personal fortune.

And you’re stuck with an extra charge on your Denny’s omelette.

Ayman Mohyeldin:    Arab Muslim man
Jonathan Capehart:  Black AND gay man
Katie Phang:              Asian woman

Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki

Rachel Maddow staff to be let go as part of MSNBC overhaul

MSNBC has told the majority of the employees who produce Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid’s prime-time evening news shows they are being let go as part of the network’s programming overhaul with the option to apply for new roles, according to two people directly familiar with the matter.

Maddow, the biggest star and highest-rated anchor at MSNBC, will get to keep her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, and several other senior producers, the people said.

But the rest of Maddow’s team – along with producers who worked on the other cancelled shows, hosted by Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin and José Díaz-Balart – have been given the option to claim severance or reapply for new roles at the network, the people said.

The Maddow team was let go because of a quirk of how they worked on both Maddow’s show and Alex Wagner’s show, when Maddow scaled back to hosting only Mondays and Wagner hosted Tuesday to Friday.

Maddow is currently hosting five nights a week for the first 100 days of the Trump administration, but when she returns to Mondays only and the programming shake-up takes effect on 21 April, Jen Psaki, the former Biden White House press secretary, will take over the Tuesday-to-Friday slot.

An MSNBC source said that the changes were not “widespread layoffs” but rather the reallocation of producers to support new programs and priorities. They said the new roles were being posted internally first and would not be posted externally until affected employees had had a chance to reapply.

The manner of the personnel changes – having employees reapply for roles in time slots they already produce – are unprecedented at MSNBC at this scale. Typically, MSNBC has taken great pains to redistribute staffers without laying them off after shows have been cancelled.

But it all comes at a turbulent time for the cable news industry in general. MSNBC is being spun off by NBCUniversal and is trying to find cost savings, similar to how CNN laid off 200 employees last month as its new chief executive, Mark Thompson, attempts to pivot to a digital strategy.

Some staffers in Washington DC have privately expressed concern that the new postings could predominantly be in New York, where the hourly pay rates negotiated by the various unions are understood to be lower. New jobs in New York could also require relocation.

Over the weekend, Status reported that a staff member from Reid’s show asked the new MSNBC president, Rebecca Kutler, about the future of the show’s staff. Kutler reportedly confirmed that staff would be let go but assured them that they would remain employees until April and would receive severance packages.

Kutler also reportedly told them that more than 100 new roles would be posted this week and encouraged affected staff members to apply. She added that six months from now, there would be more employees at MSNBC than there are currently.

On Monday night, Maddow appeared to criticize MSNBC for the recent programming shake-ups and the treatment of its staff during a monologue on her show.

Maddow expressed concern for the dozens of producers and staff who work behind the scenes, saying that they were “really being put through the wringer”, facing potential layoffs and being “invited to reapply for new jobs”.

Maddow remarked: “That has never happened at this scale, in this way before when it comes to programming changes, presumably because it’s not the right way to treat people, and it’s inefficient and it’s unnecessary and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work, and so we don’t generally do things that way.”

The anchor also called Reid’s firing a “bad mistake” during the monologue, and stated that she did not want to lose Reid as a colleague at MSNBC.

“Personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door,” Maddow said. “It is not my call and I understand that, but that’s what I think.”

She added: “It is also unnerving to see on a network where we’ve got two, two non-white hosts in prime time, both of our non-white hosts in prime time are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible and I do not defend it.”

Ohio’s J.D. Vance rebuked by the Pope, denounced by NATO allies, ridiculed for bizarre rant

Opinion

Marylou Johanek

Vice President J.D. Vance. (Photo by Peter Hall/Pennsylvania Capital-Star, States Newsroom.)

J.D. Vance has really done Ohio proud these last few weeks, hasn’t he? The lapdog vice-president, with evidently a lot of time on his hands, has managed to be firmly rebuked by Pope Francis, denounced by outraged NATO allies and widely ridiculed for his bizarre ‘masculinity’ rant at a weekend MAGAfest just a month into his tenure. Way to create a buzz/acute embarrassment back home!

What is wrong with J.D.? Have the wheels come all the way off? Why does the 40-year-old awkwardly playing VP keep stepping in it stateside and abroad? Is the “childless cat ladies” charmer acting out unresolved rage from a bad place? Working through some deep-seated anger? Seriously, Vance manifests juvenile cringe, not sober sway, as he settles into his nondescript role as an appendage in the Trump-Musk administration. Even Trump won’t name him as a slam dunk heir apparent. Not good.

For a supposed Ivy League intellectual, Vance sure spouts stupidity on the regular: Honestly, you’ve got to be really off base on Catholic theology for the Vatican to correct your twisted take on love with descending priorities as justification for mass deportations. In Vance’s godawful reading of the Christian order of love concept; (to mesh with his political ideology) family, community, and country come first and everyone outside that concentric circle later or not so much. Which puts migrant families outermost from Vance’s construct on brotherly love for me but not thee from outside our borders.

Francis rejected the VP’s sophomoric theoretical defense of cruel immigration crackdowns as flatly wrong. He urged the misguided millennial to meditate on the parable of the Good Samaritan, “on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.” But “American citizens first” nativist Vance has no interest in building a “fraternity open to all,” just an all-white patriarchy focused on baby-making. To that point, he started a holy war (barely a week after inauguration) against charitable organizations across the country that feed, clothe and house refugees and immigrants (i.e., Catholic Charities and Catholic relief groups) by implying they perform their labor of love for federal money — not humanitarian concerns.

“Devout Catholic” convert Vance went all glib and combative on compassion and care for the “least of these” because they included Brown and Black mothers and fathers and children fleeing horrendous homelands for hope. But upholding the dignity of every human being (native-born or not) as a core tenet of Christianity clashes with the core MAGA mission to degrade, shackle and ship terrified families back to the foreign hellscapes they fled. Vance threw nasty and mean into the mix to look tough on dehumanized “illegals” and scorn mercy. He is a dutiful, if not decent, Trump toady.

But the swift rebuttals to Vance’s hollow broadsides from the Church and the pope himself only reinforced the veep’s smallness as a smug sycophant slinging ugly. Whatever reputation Vance may have enjoyed in the past as a thoughtful individual with at least a modicum of integrity is long gone. With a brief stint as a venture capitalist, an even briefer stint as Ohio senator and now VP, Vance is heady with power and hubris over his meteoric rise from bending the knee to a man he once derided as “America’s Hitler.” Then Vance went to the Munich Security Conference recently, not to collaborate with NATO allies on mutual security interests and Ukraine, but to turn on them.

Vance, the shameless election denier in service to an authoritarian regime lawlessly dismantling a democratic republic, had the towering audacity and historical blindness to lecture his European audience on democracy, downplay threats from Russia and China, and publicly court a far-right German party (AfD) that many Germans consider the heirs of Nazi ideas and that sanitizes the Holocaust. His blistering dress-down of European leaders, rightly dismayed over rising extremism and history repeating itself, coupled with his pronounced affection for far-right politicians a week before a crucial German election (U.S. election interference?) was obscene.

The last thing the world needs now is a U.S. vice-president trashing eighty years of foreign policy with America’s closest and most enduring friends. But that’s what a dangerously reckless Vance did on the world stage to compete with Elon Musk and boost his nascent brand as an uber-nihilist bent on destroying plurality for purity and seeding a new world order. It’s wing-nuttery on a disturbingly dark scale. But Vance, for all his performative bravado — whether it’s lashing out at European allies for not welcoming extremism, or engaging in petty posting on X, or weirdly obsessing about “the essence of masculinity” and a “broken culture” that tells you “You’re a bad person because you’re a man” — is a phony.

He morphed from Never-Trumper to groveling suck-up for unimagined power, but he can’t quite pull it off as a poser with a makeover beard spewing stupid and offensive and strange. Vance has been doing us proud by attacking friends, embracing enemies, insulting humanitarians, drawing papal ire, and pontificating laughably on what makes a man a man.

Seriously, what is wrong with J.D.?

Meta's chief AI scientist says US-based researchers may look abroad as Trump tries to freeze funding

Lakshmi Varanasi

Sun, February 23, 2025

• Meta's Yann LeCun warned there could be an exodus of US-based scientists due to funding cuts.

• The Trump administration wants to slash NIH funding, causing concern in the scientific community.

• LeCun said Europe should be recruiting them by offering more favorable research conditions.

The United States could soon see an exodus of tech talent, according to Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun.

"The US seems set on destroying its public research funding system. Many US-based scientists are looking for a Plan B," LeCun wrote in a post on LinkedIn on Saturday.

The Trump administration has issued several executive orders to reduce funding, sparking concern among the US-based scientific community.

It announced drastic cuts to the National Institutes of Health that would effectively end billions in federal funding for biomedical research. A judge on Friday extended a temporary block on the cuts as lawsuits filed by states and universities who say the cuts are illegal make their way through the court system.

"A sane government would never do this," former Harvard Medical School Dean Jeffrey Flier said of the funding cuts in a post on X.

Elon Musk's cost-cutting DOGE squad has also been deployed to federal agencies, including the NIH, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and NASA.

The executive order that Trump signed against diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates has also caused concern that it could threaten scientific research at universities.

"At least one university is telling its researchers to refrain from terms like "biodiversity" to steer clear of detection by AI-based grant review systems, " Scientific American reported.

LeCun — who earned his bachelor's and Ph.D. in France — said the changes in the United States should be a wake-up call for European institutions and companies.

"You may have an opportunity to attract some of the best scientists in the world," he wrote.

He shared seven things he believes talented researchers want to see at any university, company, or public research agency they're joining:

His message to Europe: "To attract the best scientific and technological talents, make science and technology research professions attractive."

GOP's SAVE ACT Wants to Bar 69 Million Married Women from Voting

"Family Values" in the GOP lexicon means married women don't vote, stay at home, cook, clean, take care of the kids, AND make sure the husband is happy and content.

One way for the GOP neanderthals, now high on Trumps' massive dose of retrograde dopamine, to take us back to the Great America of the 1860s is to put a major obstacle before women's right to vote. As you may know, traditions and religion make a woman delete her identity when she marries - she now belongs to her husband - by surrendering her maiden name and adopting her loving (and sometimes abusive) husband's last name. Therefore, by requiring of a woman to produce a birth certificate but not a marriage certificate in order to vote, all 69 million women whose maiden name is different from her married name will be turned back at the voting booth.

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

Married women could face new obstacles to vote. This is what conservatives want.
Kristin Brey, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Sat, February 22, 2025

Despite a lifetime of having my last name pronounced incorrectly, I am in the minority of heterosexual women who chose to keep my maiden name when I got married.

It was less of a feminist act and more that, by the time I got married, I was in my mid-30s and had an established public-facing career. It felt weird to be that late in life and adopt, let alone publicize, a new identity. My husband didn’t care one way or another, so I saved myself from the painstaking paperwork of changing my last name.

What I didn’t realize was that I might have also saved myself from being disenfranchised. SAVE Act threatens to disenfranchise married women

The SAVE Act would require Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport or some other gold-tier citizenship document every time they register to vote. This could exclude up to 69 million married American women whose legal name does not match that of her birth certificate.

Congressional Republicans are fast-tracking the SAVE Act, a bill that requires Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport or some other gold-tier citizenship document every time they register to vote – all under the guise of ensuring that only U.S. citizens are voting.

If you’re thinking, “Wait, isn’t it already illegal for noncitizens to vote?” – yes, yes it is. And if you’re wondering how often this actually happens, it’s about as common as flamingos in Wisconsin. It happened once, but definitely not a trend.

Per the Brennan Center for Justice, a retrospective of the 2016 election found improper noncitizen votes accounted for 0.0001% of the 23.5 million votes cast across the 42 jurisdictions they surveyed. But sure, let’s make it harder for actual citizens to vote.

This legislation is intended to make it more difficult for most eligible American citizens to register and cast a ballot. And as you’d expect, voting and civil rights activists are sounding alarms.

But who does this bill hurt the most?

The 8 in 10 married women who changed their surname after marriage. Because the bill fixates on birth certificates matching voter registrations but doesn’t consider marriage certificates as proof of identity.

According to the Center for American Progress, this could exclude upwards of 69 million married American women whose legal name does not match that of her birth certificate.

For the millions of married women who don’t have a passport, they would need to hunt down their birth certificate, marriage license and ID, then show up in person just to update their voter registration. I don’t even know where my birth certificate is. Do you?

And guess which states have the fewest passports and the most married name-changers? Deep red states. So yes, this could disproportionately disenfranchise Republican women. But I don’t want any woman disenfranchised, because women’s suffrage is a slippery slope.

Conservatives who believe women shouldn't have the right to vote

Yes, the slope of a woman's right to vote.

The bill's author, Rep. Chip Roy R-Texas, might have made a statement characterizing these concerns as "absurd armchair speculation," but the lack of nuance in this bill feels like a nod to the folks who would like to see the 19th Amendment repealed. This isn’t just some conspiracy theory. Plenty of conservatives have openly said that they don’t think women should vote:

Pastor Joel Webbon claims that the 19th Amendment stole half his vote but graciously allows his wife to vote so he can get it back.

Trump’s former aide John McEntee joked, “When we said we wanted mail-only voting. We meant male m-a-l-e.”

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has repeatedly said that women shouldn’t vote.

Anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson wants “household voting.”

MAGA social media lost its mind over a pro-Kamala Harris ad where two women dared to vote without their husbands' approval.

Remember when people told us we were crazy for saying Roe v. Wade could be overturned? That it would never happen? That we were being hysterical?

Now we have a bill that – whether by incompetence or design – could make voting much harder for millions of women. But sure, let’s pretend the rollbacks stop here. It’s not like an entire political faction in our body politic is openly nostalgic for the days before women could vote.

Every time I hear someone say, “Oh, that could never happen here,” I think about that photo – the one of Afghan women in the ‘70s wearing miniskirts and studying medicine. Before religious fundamentalists took over and erased their rights.

Losing rights doesn’t happen in one big, dramatic moment. It happens in a slow drip of bad policies, restrictive laws and people not taking the threat seriously until it’s too late.

If you don’t know where your birth certificate is, you might want to find it. Because apparently, that – not your decades of tax returns, Social Security number or literal existence as a person – is what the SAVE Act says proves you're an American.

And if this passes, I hope you really love your last name. Because changing it could cost you more than just paperwork.

Ooops! Netanyahu Found a New Pretext for War and Ethnic Cleansing

Pursuant to: https://lebanoniznogood.blogspot.com/2025/02/trump-netanyahus-installment-2-for.html

As I said, the ongoing exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel is a disrupter of the Zionist-Trump plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza. For one, it demonstrates an equivalence between Hamas's barbarity and Israel's barbarity, an equivalence that the snotty fakely-moral Zionists refuse to countenance. Yes, the attack of October 7, 2023 was atrocious - you've got to say it evey time so as not to upset the Zionists, as if it makes a difference in the big picture of the obvious 100-year-long rape of indigenous Palestine by foreign colonial settlers.

Second, Hamas appears like a very healthy organization in the shows it puts out every time it releases an Israeli prisoner. The Zionists, Netanyahu included, complain about the humiliating process in which Hamas fighters display the prisoners holding gift bags and hugging their guards. But there is nothing humiliating about forcing Palestinian prisoners to walk naked in chain-gang formation, or made to wear shirts tagged with the Star of David and the "We will never forgive" phrase?

The problem for Zionists is that they genuinely believe they are better humans that the Palestinians, and better than everyone else for that matter. And I do mean to say that the Zionists are convinced that their own god chose them some 3000 years ago as his favorite pet people (Light unto Nations bullcrap) with their stinking goats and camels in the stinking desert, and are therefore a superior race of Übermensch, while the Palestinians are some sort of worthless "human animals" or untermensch. Too bad the UN does not resuscitate its 1970s "Zionism is Racism" resolution which has by now been corroborated by the civilizing savagery of Israel's "self-defense" in Gaza. Even M23's barbarity in the Congo, or the Sudanese warring factions, pale in comparison to Zionists. At least, in Congo and Sudan the savagery is exacted by both sides as standing well-armed armies fighting on open ground along front lines. But in Palestine, the indigenous Palestinians are hemmed in in open concentration camps, essentially disarmed compared to the shoot-at-will US-well supplied Zionist militia, and completely surrounded by, fortunately, the most moral army in the world. Imagine how much worse it could be if the Zionist militia was immoral!

So now, as the war criminal Netanyahu has nowhere to run from all the garbage he drags around - corruption, war crimes, ultra-religious fanaticism, etc., his only way out is to keep his savagery going on, like a runaway train. The display of his settler "citizens" being paraded around like dummies by Hamas is now his excuse to derail a process that he doesn't really like because it habilitates Hamas as a serious negotiating partner. If the world sees Hamas as a serious negotiating partner, then the pressure mounts on Israel to make a peace deal with the Palestinians. And that is precisely what Netanyahu does NOT want, because it derails his own plan - laid down back by his predecessor colonial Zionists in 1917 - of taking all of Palestine. 

By suspending the last installment of the first phase in the Hamas-Israel agreement, namely the release of 629 illegally detained and brutalized Palestinian hostages, Netanyahu hopes that Hamas will fall in the trap and give him the pretext to resume his savagery and barbarity on what remains of Gaza and the West Bank. Netanyahu and his government of ultra-religious Bronze Age fanatic barbarians have first to empty Gaza and the West Bank of, say 90%, of the Palestinian population (they need a few to clean their toilets and build their brand new settlements): They can't have their exclusive Jewish Disneyland on the Mediterranean with 6 million Palestinians loitering around. 

Their highly intelligent and articulate Christian friend Donald Dumb has proposed to ship the Palestinians to Jordan, Egypt and other "Arab" countries: They're all Arabs, they argue, so what difference does it make if the Palestinians live in Gaza or in Dubai? It's all one big Arab desert anyway, say the obnoxious overachieving Zionists who claim to have greened the desert. I wonder if anyone has asked Dubai's opinion first. It would be like Putin transferring 90% of the Ukrainians to anywhere else in Europe - they're all Europeans, so what difference does it make if the Ukrainians live in Sweden or Denmark or better yet in Greenland? It's all one big ice sheet anyway. By emptying Ukraine of its population, the Russians will return to what was their God-given territory anyway without those millions of annoying Ukrainians loitering around.

Phase 2 is now in jeopardy, and Netanyahu's smile creeps up all the way to his big ears. He can't wait to resume the savage bombing of Gaza and the West Bank in the hope that, by opening a breach in the Rafah border, the Palestinians will flow out into the Sinai like a sewer of decomposing humanity and Gaza will be "cleaned up". For the West Bank,  Netanyahu will have to ship the Palestinians across the Allenby Bridge, so the genius Zionists will build a Roman aqueduct that will serve to discharge the Palestinian human garbage out into Jordan.

Zionist rabbis must immediately sit down to write a few new Sefers to add to the scintillating torah, extolling the achievements and conquests of God's people in this year 5786 of the Hebrew calendar. Hurry before Aramageddon sets in, otherwise you'd have to become Christians upon the coming of the Christ.

Jackass JD Vance was Lecturing Europeans on Free Speech, while....

...the administration of Vice-Moron JD Vance and Supreme Moron Donald J Dumb was banning the following words... yes, words! ... from being used in all federal agencies:

Is banning words NOT banning free expression? Or do these people live in an alternative universe?

For example, Darby Saxbe, a professor at the University of Southern California tweeted a list of banned words that trigger an immediate suspension of the application for research funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), pending review by Trump-Vance-Musk censors.

This isn’t happening only at NSF. CDC is also purging its websites and reports of forbidden words.

All of this is happening while billionaire Elon Musk, an unelected representative of Trump’s government, is ransacking his way through the federal bureaucracy, gaining access to highly sensitive data with basically no one to stop him.

It’s still not clear what happens on the other side of all this. But when they’re flagging words like “women” and “trauma", it can’t be good.

Trump fires chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and two other military officers

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump abruptly fired Air Force Gen. CQ Brown Jr. as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday, sidelining a history-making fighter pilot and respected officer as part of a campaign led by his defense secretary to rid the military of leaders who support diversity and equity in the ranks.

The ouster of Brown, only the second Black general to serve as chairman, is sure to send shock waves through the Pentagon. His 16 months in the job had been consumed with the war in Ukraine and the expanded conflict in the Middle East.

“I want to thank General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump posted on social media.

Brown’s public support of Black Lives Matter after the police killing of George Floyd had made him fodder for the administration’s wars against “wokeism” in the military. His ouster is the latest upheaval at the Pentagon, which plans to cut 5,400 civilian probationary workers starting next week and identify $50 billion in programs that could be cut next year to redirect those savings to fund Trump’s priorities.

Trump said he’s nominating retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next chairman. Caine is a career F-16 pilot who served on active duty and in the National Guard, and was most recently the associate director for military affairs at the CIA, according to his military biography.

Caine’s military service includes combat roles in Iraq, special operations postings and positions inside some of the Pentagon’s most classified special access programs.

However, he has not had key assignments identified in law as prerequisites for the job, including serving as either the vice chairman, a combatant commander or a service chief. That requirement could be waived if the “president determines such action is necessary in the national interest.”

More Pentagon firings

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a statement praising both Caine and Brown, announced the firings of two additional senior officers: Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Jim Slife.

Franchetti becomes the second top female military officer to be fired by the Trump administration. Trump fired Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan just a day after he was sworn in.

A surface warfare officer, Franchetti has commanded at all levels, heading U.S. 6th Fleet and U.S. Naval Forces Korea. She was the second woman ever to be promoted to four-star admiral, and she did multiple deployments, including as commander of a naval destroyer and two stints as aircraft carrier strike group commander.

Slife led Air Force Special Operations Command prior to becoming the service’s vice chief of staff and had deployed to the Middle East and Afghanistan.

He told The Associated Press on Friday: “The President and Secretary of Defense deserve to have generals they trust and the force deserves to have generals who have credibility with our elected and appointed officials. While I’m disappointed to leave under these circumstances, I wouldn’t want the outcome to be any different.”

Trump has asserted his executive authority in a much stronger way in his second term, removing most officials from the Biden administration even though many of those positions are meant to carry over from one administration to the next.

The chairman role was established in 1949 as an adviser to the president and secretary of defense, as a way to filter all of the views of the service chiefs and more readily provide that information to the White House without the president having to reach out to each individual military branch, according to an Atlantic Council briefing written by retired Maj. Gen. Arnold Punaro. The role has no actual command authority.

Trump acted despite support for Brown among key members of Congress and a seemingly friendly meeting with him in mid-December, when the two were seated next to each other for a time at the Army-Navy football game.

The firing follows days of speculation after a list of officers, including Brown, to be fired was circulated on Capitol Hill — but notably was not sent via any formal notification to either of the Republican chairmen of the House or Senate armed services committees.

Sen. Roger Wicker, GOP chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, didn’t mention Caine’s name in a statement Friday.

“I thank Chairman Brown for his decades of honorable service to our nation,” Wicker said. “I am confident Secretary Hegseth and President Trump will select a qualified and capable successor for the critical position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

Congressional Democratic leaders called out the firings as a direct attempt to politicize the military.

“A professional, apolitical military that is subordinate to the civilian government and supportive of the Constitution rather than a political party is essential to the survival of our democracy,” Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement late Friday. “For the sake of our troops and the well-being of every American, elected leaders — especially Senate Republicans — must defend that enduring principle against corrosive attempts to remake the military into a partisan force.”

Brown risked discussing race

Brown’s future was called into question during the confirmation hearing for Hegseth last month. Asked if he would fire Brown, Hegseth responded, “Every single senior officer will be reviewed based on meritocracy, standards, lethality and commitment to lawful orders they will be given.”

Hegseth had previously taken aim at Brown. “First of all, you gotta fire, you know, you gotta fire the chairman of Joint Chiefs,” he said flatly in a podcast in November. And in one of his books, he questioned whether Brown got the job because he was Black.

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter,” Hegseth wrote.

As he walked into the Pentagon on his first day as defense chief on Jan. 27, Hegseth was asked directly if he planned to fire Brown.

“I’m standing with him right now,” said Hegseth, patting Brown on the back. “Look forward to working with him.”

Brown, who spent Friday visiting troops at the U.S.-Mexico border, drew attention to himself for speaking out about the death of George Floyd in 2020. While he knew it was risky, he said, discussions with his wife and sons about the killing convinced him he needed to say something.

As protests roiled the nation, Brown posted a video message to the Air Force titled, “Here’s What I’m Thinking About.” He described the pressures that came with being one of the few Black men in his unit. He recalled pushing himself “to perform error-free” as a pilot and officer his whole life, but still facing bias. He said he’d been questioned about his credentials, even when he wore the same flight suit and wings as every other pilot.

Brown’s path to the chairmanship was troubled — he was among the more than 260 senior military officers whose nominations were stalled for months by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. But when the Senate vote was finally taken in September 2023, Brown easily was confirmed by a vote of 89-8.

It had been 30 years since Colin Powell became the first Black chairman, serving from 1989 to 1993. But while African Americans made up 17.2% of the 1.3 million active-duty service members, only 9% of officers were Black, according to a 2021 Defense Department report.

Brown’s service as chairman made history in that this was the first time that both the defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, and the Joint Chiefs chairman were Black.

Donkey-Eared Rubio's Meeting with Lavrov: Amateurish Surrender to Putin

He's got pretty big ears, like a jackass. Trump's "24-hour end to the war in Ukraine" turns into a "long and difficult process". Just as they are doing with Palestine, these ignorant amateurs reduce solutions to world conflicts to a moronic Hollywood movie in which John Wayne walks into the saloon and shoots the bad guys. Amerika, Amerika, grow up! Brawn without brain was never good.

Excerpts from: The BULWARK, Marco Rubio Is Walking into a Trap 

by Mark Hertling, Tue, February 18, 2025

I’M AN ETERNAL OPTIMIST. But my gut, informed by a career spent studying and implementing American foreign policy, tells me this week will not go well. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Rubio’s diplomatic experience is limited to his time in the Senate, during which he served on the Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees. He has primarily focused on Latin American policy. Lavrov, on the other hand, has been Russia’s foreign minister since 2004, which makes him the longest-serving foreign minister in modern history. Before that he was a career diplomat. He is known for both his diplomatic savvy and his mastery of deception.The subject of the Rubio-Lavrov discussions will be Ukraine, a nation that will not have a representative at these alleged peace talks. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that any decisions made during these talks without Ukraine's participation are unacceptable. Representatives from NATO, the EU, or any European nation have not been formally invited to take part in the sessions. Perhaps my gut is just reflecting my bias toward Ukrainians being allowed to defend their territorial sovereignty and their nation’s independence.

In late February 2022, as Russian tanks rumbled toward Kyiv and the world braced for Ukraine’s collapse, I had a gut reaction, too. While many analysts and even some U.S. government officials expressed concern that Ukraine would collapse within days, I publicly predicted that Ukraine would not just hold their own but repulse the invasion, which they did. My assessment was based on my experiences with both the Russian military (which I said at the time was inept) and Ukraine’s fledgling army (which had shown significant improvement since the early 2000s). Ukraine’s unique culture, spirit, resolve, and refusal to bow to tyranny have since become world famous.

.........

THE MEETING BETWEEN RUBIO AND LAVROV will not be one of equals. As a senator, Rubio was, until late in his tenure, a strong supporter of aid to Ukraine. But he now must represent a more transactional president whose skepticism of Ukraine and friendliness to Russia go back years. Lavrov represents a paranoid, aggressive, authoritarian regime that still sees itself as engaged in a long-term war against the United States and Europe. The hastily announced meeting being held in Saudi Arabia—an authoritarian Gulf Arab state—may have repercussions far from the war that is ostensibly being settled. The Trump administration and Ukraine must both be struck by the parallels to a previous Trump peace agreement in which another inexperienced secretary of state made a deal with a more seasoned enemy to end a war without any American allies in the room—Trump’s Doha Agreement with the Taliban.

Trump has claimed that the American withdrawal from Afghanistan—which his Doha Agreement guaranteed—inspired Putin to invade Ukraine. If that’s the case, he should consider what lessons others, like Xi Jinping, might take from an American abandonment of Ukraine.

Back in February 2022, the night before tanks rolled across the border of Ukraine, all intelligence indicators suggested that Russia was indeed about to invade, but I remember thinking no one in their right mind would be so foolish as to start such a war. But because of what I’ve learned about Putin over decades serving in Europe, watching him become increasingly emboldened, my gut told me he would be just that rash and reckless. Putin did give the order, his troops indeed crossed into a sovereign country, and the costs to Russia will take generations to recover.

The United States and NATO can counter Putin’s criminal action and restore international order—not just in Europe, but anywhere an aggressive, authoritarian country might be considering a land-grab. I hope this time my gut is wrong, and that our support for Ukraine continues.

Musk and Trump Destroying US Science: Prefer RFK Jr.'s Voodoo Shamanic Charlatanism

Post-WWII, European scientists (including many Nazis like Kurt Debus, a former V-2 rocket scientist who became a NASA director, or Wernher von Braun who built rockets for NASA, and 1600 other Nazi scientists relocated to the US in Operation Paperclip) migrated to the US. The boorish amateurs Trump and Musk are now reversing that trend: By destroying the foundations of US science - defunding the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and shutting down the National Science Foundation (NSF) - they are pushing US scientists to look elsewhere in Europe and China to continue their research.

More than 50% of US scientists and engineers are foreign-born H-1B visa entrants to the US. By curtailing immigration of scientists and frontally attacking domestic science, the imbecile numskulls Trump and Musk are essentially gutting the foundations that make the US a strong powerful country. His moronic grocery store owner's mindset makes Trump believe that America's greatness lies only in having money and nothing else. His stupidity and ignorance cannot conceive of any other criterion for "greatness" than gold-laced toilets, shiny buildings, and a bimbo wife, all acquired with money.

But wealth does not mean greatness: Look at all the wealthy oily Arab monarchies; they're rich but they stink when it comes to greatness. The billionaires Trump and Musk, who think they are the elite because they have money, reduce the "American people" to the ignorant corn-producing riff raff peasants of the midwest, the plains, and the south who are easily manipulated into submission with stupid superficial slogans of patriotism and love of country. Trump and Musk hate intellectuals: they can't and won't tolerate smart educated dissenters and thinkers who bother them with new ideas, people like journalists, scientists and academics. That is how you build a Big Brother Dystopia.

By the way, read about how abysmal are the so-called "intellectual achievements" of the neo-Nazi South African illegal immigrant, Elon Musk, in [ https://www.yahoo.com/news/author-upcoming-elon-musk-biography-040538098.html ]. I have long argued that Americans foolishly equate wealth with intelligence: The reality is that very smart people are rarely wealthy (because they know that money doesn't buy you meaning and happiness in life), while most wealthy individuals are glorified black-market smartass dealers who fooled the system or other people. but are othwerwise basically stupid.

DOGE shut the funding spigot for medical research overnight. Scientists are calling it ‘the end of science’ in America
Stuart Dyos

Updated Fri, February 21, 2025

The Trump administration’s vow to cut $4 billion in medical research targets so-called indirect funding, which he claims to be wasteful. But these costs are key to allowing medical institutions to exist, with scientists decrying the budget moves as a death blow that could lead top American scientists to jump ship to China and alter the scientific exchange of data.

Recently, the medical research communities saw their livelihoods flash before their eyes as the Trump administration announced the world’s leading benefactor in medical research grants was being put on a diet.

World’s richest man Elon Musk, who initially claimed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could cut $2 trillion in government spending but has waffled on that figure since then, has been busy trimming federal agency budgets across the country in recent weeks. The National Institute of Health is up next: Last week, it announced DOGE will cut more than $4 billion from the NIH budget—which equates to 11% of its 2023 budget—impacting major research institutions nationwide.

The National Institute of Health is the paramount government agency in the U.S. when it comes to conducting and supporting medical research. In 2023, the NIH yielded more than $35 billion in funding to disease-related research projects.

The budget cuts trimmed facility and administration expenses, known as indirect costs, to 15%. These funds cover overhead costs for institutions, including their electricity bills, equipment, and rent.

“I think it’s the end of science as we know it for the United States if that really goes through,” Richard Huganir, director of the Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, told Fortune.

The Trump administration is levying NIH’s indirect funding budget to play on par with private philanthropic organizations. Entities like the John Templeton Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation carry the highest level of indirect cost coverage of private philanthropic organizations at 15%.

Formerly, the NIH did not have a cap on indirect fund support. On average, indirect costs from the NIH reached 27.5%, and many times allocated administrative overhead up to 50% or 60%.

In an X post, the top receivers from were Harvard, Yale, and Johns Hopkins, who received indirect rates of 69%, 67.5%, and 63.7%, respectively. When asked about the NIH budget cuts, Trump said, “Why are we giving money to Harvard when it’s got a $50 billion endowment, 50 billion and yet they don’t use that endowment to help their students.”

Dwight Bergles, a professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, refutes the notion that the NIH should be on the same playing field as private philanthropic organizations.

“That 15% doesn’t cover the cost necessary to do the research,” Bergles told Fortune.

Funding from private foundations only makes up a small portion of the research that goes on at universities, and universities take that on as a liability, Bergles said.

“They (universities) say, ‘You know what, this money that’s coming in, we realize it doesn’t support all of the infrastructure necessary to do it, but it’s investment into further research and the lifeblood of the lab to have support coming in,’” Bergles said.

Universities have to plan on other ways to balance out the indirect costs of a project that private foundations lack supporting, he added.

Bergles rejects this idea, saying university donors “don’t want that money going to support indirect cost.”

“You can’t impose upon universities to tap endowments for this,” Bergles said.

Bergles emphasized it's important to be fiscally efficient in the world of scientific research, but the expedited manner in which NIH funding was cut “has been very, very disruptive and could have long ranging impacts on the future of science in this country and our ability to want to understand biology, to develop new therapies, to provide ways of improving the lives of our citizens.”
Immediate effects

While the NIH funding cuts may cause long-term impediments to scientific discovery in this country, they also pose more immediate risks for some patients and their families.

Huganir said Johns Hopkins is currently developing a solution for children who are “severely intellectually disabled, autistic” and plan to send it to clinical trials in a few years—but that agenda could now face setbacks.

Huganir said in order for this therapy to work, “we have to treat them very young.”

“Any delay in research is going to be, you know, tragic,” said Huganir. “I’ve gotten to know the families and the families are desperate, you know, they know there’s a window of time so it’s a race to develop these therapeutics to treat their kids.”

Johns Hopkins currently has 600 clinical trials in progress and all will be impacted, according to Huganir.

Huganir said the NIH cutting indirect costs will affect everyone, and treatment for things like mental health and cancer will be “severely compromised if this goes through.”
Expect a youthful brain drain in American scientific discovery

The United States is the worldwide leader in science, according to the AD Scientific Index. Although the U.S. has a major foothold in talent recruitment, some think the next generation of scientists will either go abroad or pick a different career path.

“I see this as a huge part of it, you’re talking about some of the most gifted, creative (people) that I’ve seen, and you're sort of telling them that there’s no outlet for you, there’s no future for you here,” Bergles said.

Since 1946, the U.S. has been able to dish out grant funding for “neglected areas of research in the health sciences,” according to its website, which has attracted top talent from all over the world.

“My lab looks like the United Nations,” Bergles said.

Bergles hopes a future for scientists remains in the United States, but if funding runs dry, “they will leave and go somewhere else,” and many scientists think they might move into Chinese research and development (R&D) labs.

“China in particular has emerged, due to tremendous investment in their research enterprise, as a major force in our field of neuroscience,” Bergles said. “That work that’s being done in China is exceptional.”

While the U.S. still funds more R&D than China as a whole, Chinese R&D spending within universities and government institutions beats American spending, according to the OECD reported by The Economist.

"I think they will be able to recruit some of the best Chinese,” Huganir said. “But even Americans that really want to do science could be recruited to China.”

“That’s an imminent danger.”  How will NIH cuts change how research is conducted in the private sector?

Major universities focus their attention on basic research, which, as it relates to medicine, is all about exploring the fundamentals of medical processes.

Bergles said basic research that often goes on at these universities is the foundation for outside organizations to develop new therapies.

“They (private companies) take the knowledge that is developed by basic science scientists, and then try to apply it to create a new therapy or treatment,” Bergles said.

If university-based research were to be cut out, “you’re not going to have any of the information that you’re going to need to develop new therapies to treat disease,” Bergles said.

Huganir says the private and publicly funded sectors are two different ways to practice science.

“In general, [the private sector] can’t duplicate the kind of research that NIH does,” Huganir said. “Biotech and pharma are mostly not doing the sort of basic research, which really is the engine for discovering novel ways to develop therapies.”

Huganir said if NIH research funding fades, there’s not enough positions in the private sector for every scientist.

“I don’t think it’s going to give a boost to the private sector, it’s just not,” Huganir said. “The magnitude of people moving is not that great.”

Chief executives in the health-care industry warn of a trickle-down effect into the private medical sector as major universities exchange data findings with private medical companies to expand R&D. OMNY Health CEO Mitesh Rao told Fortune a cut in funding would change the manner in which research is conducted and funded. But in a world without NIH funding, Rao believes scientific research will adapt, and industry sponsorship and partnership will be the next up to fill holes in the billion-dollar budget.

“I think we will see a lot more of the private sector step up to drive the cost and the alignment to unlock those pieces,” Rao said.

What's Good for the Goose (You and me) is NOT Good for the Gander (Musk)

The neo-Nazi Acting President of the United States North of Mexico, Elon Musk, is an illegal immigrant who fled born his country of birth, Apartheid Nazi South Africa, when Nelson Mandela and Black Africans restored democracy and equal justice there.

Musk has been punishing and firing hundreds of thousands of law-abiding civil servants who have made the United States the great country that it has been so far on mere presumptions and false accusations of fraud and waste. Tonto Musk and Lone Ranger Trump claim to abide by the Christian White Nationalist "Amerika First" mantra, which includes bringing US corporations operating overseas  back to the country by enticing them with low taxes. 

But what is good for the average US citizen and corporation is not good for Tonto Musk. He, and he alone, can keep building new factories in cheap-labor countries like India to build his piece of junk, prone to explosions Tesla car. His Lone Ranger sidekick pseudo-president, the senile demented Donald Dumb, doesn't even dare hurl insults at him like he does with anyone he preceives as opposing his dictatorial edicts.

So Donald Dumb has qualified Tonto Musk's building of Tesla factories in cheap-labor, dirt-poor, submissive India as "unfair". O the Humanity!" Why doesn't he issue his ten-thousandth Executive Decree banning Tesla from India? What is Donald Dumb afraid of? Tonto Musk, who could sue him?

Tesla CEO's, Tonto Musk, met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week as India is hinting it would lower tariffs on imported cars, potentially paving the way for Tesla to launch in India. With Tesla losing ground and its stock tumbling, because of the basic decency of US citizens protesting the South African neo-Nazi usurper of power, Tonto Musk is desperate. He has so far avoided India, its people being of a darker skin hue than his boss's Trump's "beautiful white skin". 

With only 100,000 electrical vehicles sold last year, demand for Tesla doesn't support Tonto's investing in US-based manufacturing, not to mention the punitive duties that can double the cost to the buyers.

Lone Ranger Dumb sheepishly criticized his sidekick Tonto Musk, "If he built the factory in India…that’s very unfair to us". There is consensus out there that a full-scale Tesla factory is unlikely. That's been the case for the nearly two years since Musk spoke of the need to expand Tesla's production network. Two years ago, Musk announced he is starting construction of a factory in Mexico, another betrayal and violation of the Amerika First oath.

But when it became clear that buyer demand for Tesla had begun tumbling, what with inflation and high interest rates, Tonto Musk descended from his jackass donkey and stopped the plans for Mexico.

It therefore seems that Musk and Dumb's wild imperialistic capitalism is in conflict with the isolationist wall-building Amerika First crap. 

The thing with largely poor India with its poor infrastructure and roads is that demand favors small, low-cost cars with a bare minimum technology, comfort, and safety features. Add to that, high import duties and non-tariff barriers and Tonto Musk is nowhere near entering the Indian market unless he  downsizes to building hi-tech one-ass electrical bicycles that are less prone to suddenly exploding en route.

The cracks in the Musk-Dumb marriage may not sustain further tensions. I predict that a divorce for irreconcilable differences is within sight between the self-declared "stable genius" moron and the unstable South African illegal immigrant who has been exploiting the vast field of vulnerabilities in the stable genius moron for his own personal gains.

 

Bibas is only one Israeli Child, Shaheen is one of 17,400 Palestinian Children

Zionism death etiquette stipulates that the human value of one Israeli Jewish child by far outweighs the human value of tens of thousands of Palestinian children wantonly killed by the Israeli settler terrorist militias. 

If the blackmail-inspired compulsory barrage of media, wailing at the death of the Israeli Bibas baby who was wantonly killed by the Israeli settler militias as it was massacring thousands of Palestinian children, hasn't made you want to puke yet, please visit  https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2024/israel-war-on-gaza-10000-children-killed/ to find more pukogenic material.

Bibas was one Israeli child under the age of one. But Shaheen was one of tens of thousands of Palestinian babies under the age of one. Selective and biased pity and sorrow are fake (their actors know the truth) and cruel (but those actors ignore the truth).

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed at least 17,400 children in Gaza, not counting the thousands more still missing under the rubble. But these are "human animal" children. Disposable. Not Jewish. Not Chosen. Not superior. Subhuman. Worthless packages of Arab meat. Slightly less white. Halal-Kosher for the slaughter.

Israel, whose foundation in 1948 violently uprooted millions of indigenous Palestinians from their ancestral homes, village and towns and into refugee camps all over the region, including in Gaza, has been killing the children of these refugees at the rate of one child killed every 30 minutes.

Gaza is itself a gigantic refugee camp whose population is the result of the 1920s-1930s invasion of Palestine by European Jewish illegal migrants who then organized into the infamous terrorist organizations of Haganah, Stern Gang, Irgum, Lehi and others that later coalesced into the "Israeli Army" and that carried out the ethnic cleansing of Palestine during the 1948 and 1967 pogroms and massacres, and which continues to this day.

The Palestinian children (and their parents and grandparents) have endured multiple wars and have spent their entire lives under Israeli occupation, blockade, savagery, inhumane treatment and humiliation, hunger, displacement, home demolition, uprooting....all terms found in the lexicon of the barbarity of Zionism in Palestine.

Among the documented children killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, there are at least:

710 babies below the age of one, including for example Noura Shaheen (0 years old) and Maryam Nour Wael Daban (0 years old)

1,793 toddlers (1-3 years old), including for example Ayla Obeid (1 years old) and  Adam Ezzat Warshaga

1,205 preschoolers (4-5 years old)

4,205 primary school children (6-12 years old)

3,442 high school children (13-17 years old)

So my stock of pity and empathy is depleted. I have no sadness at the death of one Israeli baby Bibas. It's all been used for the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children and their innocent parents. 

Like all other colonial foreign invaders of indigenous lands, Israel boringly labels as "terrorists" the native people who fight their occupiers' brutality with an equal dose of brutality. Nothing new, and Israel cannot re-invent the wheel by somehow really convincing the world of the justness of its brutal invasion and occupation of someone else's land. For now, though, its "success" rests on three pillars: 

- The Holocaust gravy train guilt trip.

- The garbage fiction of Bronze Age religious texts written 3,000 years ago by smelly goat-humping nomads in the Arabian desert.

- The overwhleming military lifeline and umbilical cord from its US breastfeeding mother.

Take your pick as you try to justify for yourselves the rightfulness of the Zionist cause.

Non-DEI, Entitled White Southern Alabama Police Officers Guilty of Corruption

They're white and they were not hired under a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) basis. Because they're white and and not from any minority group, they are entitled even as they are ignorant inbred mongrels from the racist white supremacist boonies of Alabama. According to Trump and Musk, these people are "nice" people and are the real masters and owners of the country who love their country more than all these dark-skinned immigrants who are "polluting" this country. They, in fact, are descendants of English settlers who owned African slaves, and they cultivate this primitive southern 16th-century-vintage culture of racism and white supremacy. Dig a bit deeper and you'll find these men to be secret members of the KKK and Trump lovers.

 

Four of the five charged officers: Cody Alan Kelso, Jason Scott Wilbanks, Jason Shane Marlin, and William Andrew Shelnutt. Photos released by the Cullman County Sheriff's Office.

Unfortunately, a grand jury in Cullman County District court has found such a compelling "rampant culture of corruption" in these white men's Alabama Police department (town of Hanceville) that it recommends the department be "immediately abolished", while issuing indictments against five officers, including their police chief.

And as upstanding white Americans with Christian family values, the wife of one of the officers was also charged as a co-conspirator in the distribution of drugs like Fentanyl.

Cullman County District Attorney Champ Crocker declared, "This is a sad day for law enforcement, but at the same time, it is a good day for the rule of law". The racist southern white culture has always selectively applied the rule of law to non-white people, while assuming that white people can never commit crimes of any kind and therefore are beyond the reach of the law. Back in the good ol' days of segregation, even if a white man rapes a white woman, the tradition required finding a Black African slave, though innocent he is, and lynching him. But these grand southern traditions are dying because of the Progressive Communists' Civil Rights Movement, an error that Trump, Musk and their MAGA team are working hard to correct.

The investigation into these white police officers was about the death of a Hanceville dispatcher, 49-year-old Christopher Michael Willingham, who was found dead from a toxic drug combination at work. Moreover, the Cullman County grand jury found that the Hanceville Police Department has "failed to account for, preserve and maintain evidence and in doing so has failed crime victims and the public at large," making the evidence "unusable". Furthermore, Willingham's death was "the direct result of the Hanceville Police Department's negligence, lack of procedure, general incompetence and disregard for human life". Apparently, Willingham used the evidence room like a shopping mall where he sampled at leisure some of the drugs stored there.

You see, these white southern inbred bastards are professionals, and their corruption is of the highest quality. They are not some low-grade DEI hires who can't even do a proper corruption job. 

The indictment also charged Hanceville Police Chief Jason Shane Marlin for failing to report an ethics crime and tampering with physical evidence. Officers Cody Alan Kelso and Jason Scott Wilbanks were charged with computer tampering, tampering with physical evidence, conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime and use of an official position for personal gain. Officer William Andrew Shelnutt was charged with tampering with physical evidence.

Eric Michael Kelso, who was a reserve officer, and his wife, Donna Reid Kelso, were charged with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance and conspiracy to unlawfully distribute a controlled substance.  All charges are felonies except for tampering with physical evidence, which is a misdemeanor. That charge alleges that the defendants "mishandled or removed evidence from the evidence room," District Attorney Crocker said.

The grand jury found that the Police department is a "particular and ongoing threat to public safety," has a "rampant culture of corruption", and has "recently operated as more of a criminal enterprise than a law enforcement agency". A highly unexpected behavior by nice white police officers; you'd assume that only dark-skinned African-Americans and immigrants would do such horrible things, as Trump keeps reminding us. The moron-criminal-in-chief contends that Americans are not responible in any way for the drug epidemic in the US, although some 95% of all drug users are respectable white Americans, and that only "those drug cartels from Latin America" are responsible for the supply of drugs to all these white people. Demand is not the problem and should not be combated. Also, the gun manufacturing business which is in cahoots with the National Rifle Association (NRA), both of which are strong supporters of Trump and smuggle and sell weapons to the drug cartels south of the border, should not be held responsible for the daily drug carnage in Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. They are merely exercizing their God-given murderous right to bear arms.

With the abolishment of the Hanceville Police department, citizens are urged to protect themselves on their own with their own guns. Just like in the good ol' days. Trump has promised to return America to its former glory (i.e. to circa 1860), and the Hanceville development is a good step in that direction.
