  1. Well, this is one way to make sure the food reaches the Palestinians ...... the hard way, but that what Hamas wants. Netanyahu approves plan to fully occupy Gaza Strip, force Hamas to release hostages by Ronny Reyes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out. https://nypost.com/2025/08/04/world-news/netanyahu-approves-plan-to-fully-occupy-gaza-strip-force-hamas-to-release-hostages/
  2. The Cincinnati Shame: Mayor Says He Is Too Busy to Talk to Victims David Strom If a gang of white people stalked and beat a black couple on the streets of Cincinnati, we all know what would happen. Politicians would be wearing kente cloth scarves, taking knees, begging for forgiveness that white people exist, and preparing scaffolds for the perpetrators. There would be marches, speeches, yet another national reckoning on race, and endless think pieces in The Atlantic, The New York Times, and a 60,000-word essay in The New Yorker about the horrors of white supremacy in America. But in this case, the perpetrators were black thugs and the victims a middle-aged white couple, so nobody in the establishment will give the victims a thought. It is the job of the victims to be victimized, and of the victimizers to be valorized, or perhaps given mild punishments and patted on the head. ... When the mayor of Cincinnati, Aftab Pureval, was asked if he had reached out to any of the victims brutally beaten by a black mob during the city’s Jazz Festival chaos, he said he had better things to do. ... Ever since this story broke, I have struggled with it. Initially, I didn't even want to write about it because doing so would elevate a particular crime into an archetype that feeds into racial stereotypes. It's not so much that I fear being called racist--everybody is called racist these days if they deviate a millimeter from the acceptable narrative--but rather that I didn't want to feed actual racist narratives that are out there and growing. Just because a disproportionate number of black people commit crimes--hate crimes included--I do not believe that it is because they are black. It is because we have fostered a culture of racial impunity in which many black youths believe they can commit hate crimes with impunity. There was a time when the same was true for whites, who could and did commit hate crimes against blacks without consequence, and that was evil, too. Civilization exists largely to tame the evil in all our souls, and when it fails to do so, the hate bubbles to the surface. Now I am on my fourth piece on the Cincinnati shame. Why? ... Simple: the shame is not that of the thugs who committed the crime--they were doing what barbarians do. Everybody is born a barbarian--watch 2-year-olds fight over toys--and it is the role of civilized adults to coach our youth into becoming civilized. We called children who have not been civilized by their adults "spoiled," and when they get older, criminals. ... The shame is that of the city fathers and mothers of Cincinnati, who have been calling for "context" and downplaying the crime. They blame social media for allowing the world to see that they have created an environment where barbarians can beat people, laugh, and broadcast their crimes to the world in order to get applause. ... The leaders of Cincinnati look away. Make excuses. Chastise us for being appalled. They, in effect, say that being a barbarian--at least if you're black--is normal. It is anything but normal. I do not believe that black people are particularly prone to barbarity. But I do believe that American black culture--at least what we euphemistically call "urban" culture--celebrates it. That is why the perpetrators were laughing and broadcasting their crime--it was something to be proud of. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/08/02/the-cincinnati-shame-4-mayor-says-he-is-too-busy-to-talk-to-victims-n3805414
  3. I for one would just settle for a little consistency from roundabout. I assume that he would agree that his attacks on the duly elected president of the United states does NOT mean that he hates America...... (and I would concur) But for some reason, when you point out the corruption that surrounds President Zelinsky he brands you as Anti-Ukraine (and Pro-Putin) You can't have it both ways. .
  4. Meanwhile: Texas Democrats Fled Their State. They’ve Done That Before. It Almost Never Works Time ^ | 8/4/25 | Phillip Elliott If you’re one of the millions of Texas residents living in a blue state House district, there’s a better-than-even-odds chance your state rep has fled the state. Even if you live in a red district, or really anywhere else in the country, those truancies could determine the final two years of President Donald Trump’s time in Washington. More than 30 Texas lawmakers are in Illinois. Another six are in New York. Massachusetts was a draw for others as their comrades gathered for an unrelated wonkfest. And a few are in California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom first floated a plan that has become a national script for Democrats preparing to retaliate against Texas, where Republicans plan to further gerrymander the state’s U.S. House districts to improve their chances at maintaining the national balance of power in Washington. In a striking reminder just how fragile politics can be, roughly 60 state lawmakers—each standing as proxy for just shy of 200,000 constituents—stand to potentially decide who will be the next House Speaker dictating policy for 345 million Americans. They split from their state on Sunday in what boosters have branded a “Texodus,” one day after a GOP-led panel in Austin moved forward with a partisan rewrite of the state’s district maps. And yet, despite serving as a rallying cry among Democrats nationally, this gambit by Texas Democrats is going to fail if history is to be a guide.

  5. I did no such thing. But you are desperate I know that. .
  6. Well we have gone a while without a picture of the thread topic. .
  7. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) incites violence against Americans: “We are not only gonna punch you back, but we’re gonna knock you out.” Shame on Crockett.
  8. What Are the Odds: Cincinnati Journo Just HAPPENS to Find PRISTINE KKK Flyer While Out for a Walk Amy Curtis The timing of this seems so incredibly ... convenient that this writer is laying down the marker now: this is a hoax. Probably perpetrated by the guy who just so happened to 'stumble across' a KKK flyer in a city that is in the spotlight for a racially-motivated attack. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2025/08/04/cincinnati-kkk-flyer-nick-swartsell-n2416727 It's a testament to the success of wokeness that even the local KKK has calmed its rhetoric enough to use the phrase, "those of COLOR".
  9. "Boycotting" Israel does not equal "criticizing " Israel But you knew that. Oh wait, you didn't.
  10. It's not really funny anymore.
