Gaza destruction surpasses Hiroshima, Holocausts Professor Says

Prof. Bartov's assessment comes as no surprise to anyone who has been following Israel's genocide in Gaza and attempts to destroy the PA in the West Bank for the last few decades, but still horrifying when couched in such terms.

No other country on the face of the Earth would have been allowed to get away with a fraction of what Israel has done to the Palestinians, most especially in Gaza!

As a Roman Catholic, I love and respect the Jewish people, our elder brothers in faith. But, that has never stopped me, nor will it ever stop me, saying as loudly and frequently as possible, that the Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu is a murderous, genocidal regime.

All the members of the IDF who carry out Netanyahu's sick, grandiose genocidal vision shall eventually find, here or in the Hereafter, that "just following orders" doesn't cut it.

ICE vs. Teachers and Nurses

ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement. Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree. It is a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

Regrets Aren't Worth Squat!

Oh, yeah, cry me a friggin' river.

You know, maybe, just maybe, the folks we send to Capitol Hill should have to pass a) a commonsense test and b) a basic reading test before being sworn in. If they flunk either test, they should be rejected and another election immediately be called to fill the seat. Furthermore, the wouldbe reps and sens that flunk should be barred from ever running for any public office again.

I wouldn't trust any of these dunderheads to catsit my precious babies!

Keeping an Eye on ICE

The YouTube algorithm is a remarkable thing. A few days ago, it brought up to my home page this video from KPBS in San Diego :

There's no way of knowing how long this treasure trove of info will remain publically available. As long as it is, though, we must use it to the fullest possible advantage.

And, remember, if you see masked men in your area:

  • Stay calm
  • Call 911
  • Video them
  • Get their lisence plate numbers

Obama and Bush Team Up To SHRED Trump Over USAID

Trump calls New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani 'a communist'

Having watched the below clip a few times and thought about it rather a lot, I still can’t decide whether Trump doesn’t realize Mandani has won a primary, not a mayoral general election, whether he no longer understands the difference between a primary and a general, or what!

 One thing is painfully clear. No one in the White House so much as tries to keep Trump from making a fool of himself, which he does every time he opens his mouth or takes to Truth Social. Rather, every administration official, starting with the press secretary, repeats, amplifies and normalizes his lies, rantings and ignorant statements. The same can be said for most of the Republicans on the Hill.

 It is never clear to me which of Trump’s statements display his mental illness and cognitive decline, and which his stupidity. In a way, it doesn’t matter. The man is unfit for the office he holds. He always was. In his first administration, though, some around him retained respect for the dignity of the office and concern for decorum. They managed (with difficulty) to reign in some of his excesses. This time, he has taken care to surround himself only with those as stupid, mendacious, corrupt  and craven as he is.

 They all also hold loyalty only to Trump, not to the Constitution or the country. As commentators such as Glenn Kirschner and Rick Wilson have pointed out, one way or another Trump won’t be president forever. While he is president, though, America is at the mercy of a stupid madman, who never ceases to embarrass himself and us.

 And while he is president, we all must point out that he is a stupid madman.  We must counter his lies with facts; challenge his gibberish with commonsense. Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a country to defeat a would be dictator.
