That was one of the reason that I ignore him. He wants to rant about Trump ? Fine, that's what the board is for. But the constant repetition, and starting new threads when he already has bumped his old one daily that would suffice for his new 'thought'. Certainly he is the boards worst poster. However he is probably ecstatic with this attention.

SLEEPERS, AWAKE! By Scott Johnson The new book by Victor Davis Hanson is The End of Everything: How Wars Descend Into Annihilation. It was published this past Tuesday. The New York Post extracted Victor’s thesis statement from the book for this column (the headline doesn’t come close to capturing the thesis). In the book Victor recounts the annihilation of Thebes, Carthage, Constantinople, and Tenochtitlan. Victor provides a précis in the publisher’s video below https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/sleepers-awake.php Wall Street Journal review of the book: https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/books/the-end-of-everything-review-annals-of-total-destruction-c11777cc .

Biden Administration Has Been Hiding Intel on Location of Hamas Leaders in Betrayal of Israel Joe Biden has been hiding intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas leaders and their command tunnels, depriving Israel of vital information that could lead to an end to the war. That revelation came in a report on Saturday and was framed as the administration offering that information now if the ongoing operation in Rafah is canceled. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/05/12/bombshell-biden-administration-has-been-holding-back-intel-from-israel-on-location-of-hamas-leaders-n2174088 .

San Francisco Giving Homeless Vodka, Courtesy of Taxpayers. Homeless alcoholics in San Francisco are getting vodka, wine, and beer at the expense of taxpayers, thanks to a crazy program that claims to provide health benefits and save lives. At this point, the reality of life under Democrat rule is far loonier than any satire or slapstick comedy. Nurses from the woke city’s “managed alcohol program” administer alcohol to the homeless addicts, the Daily Mail explained, allegedly helping curb the extreme addiction by controlling how much booze the individuals consume. The city claims success from the program, but we know that assurances on expensive and moronic government programs from Democrats are far more worthless than a can of Mulvaney-endorsed Bud Light. Does the program really keep homeless people out of jail or hospital? Who knows for sure? And, of course, it is responsible taxpayers who have to foot the bill. https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2024/05/11/san-fran-giving-homeless-vodka-courtesy-of-taxpayers-n4928968 .

To be expected: Israel War Cabinet Votes to Expand Rafah Offensive After Biden Threatens to Hold Up Aid by James Lynch Israel is expected to expand its offensive in Rafah after President Joe Biden threatened to withhold military aid in protest of the Jewish state’s battle plans in the Gaza city. The Israeli war cabinet voted Thursday evening to expand the scope of its operation in Rafah after Biden said he would refuse to supply key offensive weapons if Israel conducts a full-scale invasion of the city, according to Axios. Earlier this week, Israel began a limited offensive in Rafah and struck Hamas targets in the eastern part of the city, Hamas’s last major stronghold in Gaza. Before doing so, Israel ordered 100,000 Gazans to evacuate https://www.nationalreview.com/news/israel-war-cabinet-votes-to-expand-rafah-offensive-after-biden-threatens-to-hold-up-aid/ .

THEY HATE US, THEY REALLY HATE US!

The November elections are just a little less than six months away so anything could happen until that time, but from time to time it's interesting to look at a snapshot of how the race is shaping up. President Biden did an interview this week on CNN that amazingly, though not surprisingly, contained almost one lie per minute. Also on that cable net was more bad news for the Biden campaign that also indicates the Left's haste to heap indictments on Trump continues to backfire on the Dems: https://twitchy.com/dougp/2024/05/11/biden-wh-wont-like-cnns-explanation-for-why-trump-is-in-a-much-better-position-than-4-years-ago-n2396129

More "RESULTS" And There's Goes Niger LARA SEGILMAN FROM POLITICO 8:00 AM | May 11, 2024 The Pentagon this week formally ordered all 1,000 U.S. combat troops to withdraw from Niger, a blow to the Biden administration’s effort to counterterrorism and Russian influence in West Africa. The U.S. announced in April that it would begin discussing plans for “an orderly and responsible withdrawal” after Niger’s military junta declared it would revoke its military cooperation deal with Washington. But U.S. officials have continued to negotiate with the junta over the terms of the withdrawal and whether there was any possibility some American troops could stay. Hopes for an agreement dimmed this week when the Defense Department directed the roughly 1,000 U.S. troops in Niger to leave the country over the next several months, according to a U.S. official, who was granted anonymity to speak ahead of an announcement. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/10/pentagon-orders-all-us-combat-troops-to-withdraw-from-niger-00157329

Thanks for confirming my point. Meanwhile: James Bennet had a brilliant takedown of the Times last December. In it, he said, “In my experience, reporters overwhelmingly support Democratic policies and candidates. They are generally also motivated by a desire for a more just world. Neither of those tendencies are new. But there has been a sea change over the past ten years in how journalists think about pursuing justice.” How so? He wrote, “Illiberal journalists have a different philosophy, and they have their reasons for it. They are more concerned with group rights than individual rights, which they regard as a bulwark for the privileges of white men. They have seen the principle of free speech used to protect right-wing outfits like Project Veritas and Breitbart News and are uneasy with it. They had their suspicions of their fellow citizens’ judgment confirmed by Trump’s election, and do not believe readers can be trusted with potentially dangerous ideas or facts. They are not out to achieve social justice as the knock-on effect of pursuing truth; they want to pursue it head-on. The term objectivity to them is code for ignoring the poor and weak and cozying up to power, as journalists often have done.” Journalists abandoned objectivity, throwing that precious shield from charges of bias just to spite Donald Trump. People outside of its hard core readers have found new sources of information, largely through Twitter. Journalists can throw temper tantrums on the floor about misinformation all they want, but after the media promoted the Fake Covid Vaccine and ridiculous masks, most people no longer believe them nor should they. https://donsurber.substack.com/p/we-dont-want-journalism-back https://www.economist.com/1843/2023/12/14/when-the-new-york-times-lost-its-way

TRUTH: OIL COMPANIES: PLEASE SUPPORT TRUMP! BY JOHN HINDERAKER A person could make it his life’s work to respond to all of the ignorant, unfair and dishonest attacks that liberals make on Donald Trump. I don’t want to do that. But I do want to comment briefly on the latest Trump “scandal”: At a Dinner, Trump Assailed Climate Rules and Asked $1 Billion From Big Oil.* Many outlets tried to make it sound like Trump was soliciting a bribe: support my campaign and in return I will favor your industry. But of course, that wasn’t the case. (Certainly the lemmings on PPP swallowed it) Trump’s exact words are unknown, but this is how the hostile New York Times put it: Over a dinner of chopped steak, Mr. Trump repeated his public promises to delete Mr. Biden’s pollution controls, telling the attendees that they should donate heavily to help him beat Mr. Biden because his policies would help their industries. Trump makes a good point. And it is exactly the same point that Democrats make to the “green” industries. Democrats funnel countless billions of dollars to “green” industries and companies, in return for which they receive lavish political support. Why? Because the Democrats’ policies are in the “green” industries’ financial interest. What’s the difference? The difference is that Trump’s energy policies are right, and the Democrats’ energy policies are wrong. The Democrats’ support for “green” energy hurts consumers to the tune of many billions of dollars, and, perhaps worse, damages the national security. Trump’s support for reliable, affordable American energy will be good for all Americans. Except, I suppose, those who have invested in “green” companies in reliance on the Democrats’ anti-consumer subsidies and mandates. * I love it when liberals refer to “Big Oil.” As though they think our gas tanks should be filled courtesy of Bob’s Oil Company. And, of course, their lexicon doesn’t include “Big Wind” or “Big Solar.” Although, to be fair, it would be more accurate in those instances to speak of Big China. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/oil-companies-please-support-trump.php .

Media Matters included us in one of their videos on TikTok and we must say, this is an iconic clip of our founder @thegaywhostrayd. Love the zoom ins! We have nothing but love for our biggest fans And thank you again to the “anti-LGBTQ hate group” @Moms4Liberty for inviting this lesbian to speak at their National Summit on the same stage as five presidential candidates! Very hateful, indeed!
