Lindsey's Fact-Deficiency, Again

It's even more clear that Lindsey Graham's brain is addled.  Too much time with his Mommy??

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press” that Israel needed to do whatever it takes to survive knowing that U.S. military officials are “full of crap.”

Host Kristen Welker said, “I guess the question is, why does Israel need the most massive bombs that can potentially level an entire block in order to wage this war?Why can’t it be more precise?”

Graham said, “Why did we drop two bombs, nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to end a war that we couldn’t afford to lose? You don’t understand, apparently, what Israel is facing.”

He added, “So when we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. That was the right decision....

Actually, the Germans had surrendered in May of 1945.  We were not "fighting the Germans and the Japanese" after then--only the Japanese.  

Even more important, Graham's assertion that 'we were faced with destruction as a nation' by the Japanese is delusional.  The Japanese knew very well that invading the US would be suicidal for THEM as a nation, and they were in no position to blockade the US to choke our supply lines.  

Finally, let is not forget that the war in the Pacific was started by FDR, and that the Japanese offered surrender terms through Russia--but the perfidious Stalin did not transmit that offer to the US.  

Lindsey Graham is a blot on the Senate and the US.  He should be sent to the Ukraine front lines rather than sacrificing our children for his addle-brained, perverse, and ignorant sensibilities.

What Do Zbig, Jimmuh, Mearsheimer, and Sachs Have.......

 What do those four VERY well-connected and VERY well-informed Moderate-Left people have in common?

A serious dislike of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.  (HT:  Wauck)

Most fun to watch:  the segment where Brzezinski bombs Scarborough in very clear terms without using the word "ignoramus."

The rest are dispassionate examinations of Israel's conduct.

It's not "Israel good, Pallies bad."  Nor is it "Pallies good, Israel bad."  They're both bad, and as Zbig makes clear, the US is a useless cluster of cells.

But hey!  The military-industrial complex is making money and the State Department remains fully-funded, so what's the big deal?  Several thousand dead people of one persuasion or the other, no skin off our nose!

Right?

We've said here that the Middle East is not our ranch, not our cattle.  If the US can actually lead both those horses to water and make them drink without sending a bazillion dollars of arms (for which we issue more debt), fine.  If the US cannot, then get the Hell out of there and shut up.

Bribing the Doctors To Vaxx Their "Patients"

Looks like Anthem/Blue Cross had a plan!!  At the top end of "performance," a doc could knock down about $250,000.00.  That buys several nice cruises, right?

Anthem was certainly NOT the only insurer to bribe doctors.  Was your insurer doing the bribe, too?

Democrat, So NOT Hypocrite

 

Trump's "Plan" for Ukraine? It Sucks.

Trump published his "plan" for resolving the Ukraine problem.

It sucks.  Wauck posted this.

The United States will seek a ceasefire in Ukraine and the start of negotiations.

If Ukraine negotiates, the United States will continue to supply weapons and strengthen its defense.

Ukraine's membership in NATO will be postponed.

Russia may be offered easing of sanctions.

Ukraine will be allowed to insist on the return of all territories.

It will be possible to completely lift sanctions from Russia only after it signs a peace agreement that is completely acceptable to Ukraine.

Apparently WarMonger Pompeo got into Trump's head.

Too bad.

Pubbies Begin Real Fight-Back. Yawn.

Don't be overjoyed.  This is the only instance of Republicans initiating a real fight-back in......ahh.......ohhh......maybe 50 years or more.

...A group of 15 Republican senators, led by Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, has sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, demanding an investigation into whether several nonprofit organizations have violated their tax-exempt status by providing financial support to groups backing Hamas, which is a designated foreign terrorist organization,...

That group of nonprofits includes a whale:  Tides Foundation. 

Well, the IRS has 80,000 additional agents due to spineless Pubbies.  This will give them something to do aside from chasing down small-biz owners who mistakenly expensed two or three lunches.

Ironic Humor w/Megyn Kelly

Megyn Kelly's show is awash in ironic humor.

Megyn Kelly discussed how Americans are “thirsty” for “normal” people Friday on “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

Kelly began by explaining how she had to decide whether to stay or leave New York because of “all the school craziness” across the U.S....

Wait for it.....

... The radio host told her guests, journalist Bari Weiss...

Wait for it.....

... and her wife, Nellie Bowles...

Yah, well.  Kelly is like Trump.  In New York City, that passes for "normal."

But Hillsdale must be choking on their tea. (Read the linked story.)

Fed Judge Slaps the Slimebag

There are certain lawyers who are such slimebags that other lawyers don't want to acknowledge their existence.  In a story about a Wisconsin Fed Judge slapping the shit-eating grin off the face of Marc Elias, we learn more about him--and why he's becoming a pariah to the legitimate bar.

...Elias['] ...record includes allegations of lying to reporters and subverting voters.

Elias featured prominently in the filings of Special Counsel John Durham. It was Elias who made the key funding available to Fusion GPS, which in turn enlisted Steele to produce his now discredited dossier on Trump and his campaign.

During the campaign, reporters did ask about the possible connection to the campaign, but Clinton campaign officials denied any involvement. Weeks after the election, journalists discovered that the Clinton campaign hid payments for the Steele dossier as “legal fees” among the $5.6 million paid to Perkins Coie....

Perkins Coie expelled this oozing pustule a couple of years ago.  There's a reason for that.

 ...John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, was questioned by Congress and denied categorically any contractual agreement with Fusion GPS. Sitting beside him was Elias, who reportedly said nothing to correct the misleading information given to Congress.

The Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee were ultimately sanctioned by the FEC over the handling of the funding of the dossier through his prior firm.

The Democratic National Committee reportedly later cut ties with Elias.

Elias has been sanctioned in past litigation....

By the way, this is VERY relevant in Wisconsin, although it appears that the matter is settled--temporarily:

... Elias was back in the news in another major defeat in Maryland. He filed in support of an abusive gerrymandering of the election districts that a court found violated not only violated Maryland law but the state constitution’s equal protection, free speech and free elections clauses. The court found that the map pushed by Elias “subverts the will of those governed.”...

You get one guess as to who filed the suit against the US Supreme Court-endorsed redistricting which was valid until a couple of months ago. 

And you get one guess as to which lawfirm Josh Kaul came from.

Pp. Franny1 Gets THIS Right

 Pope Francis wants to see more children being born.

Pope Francis lamented the West’s continued demographic decline, insisting on Friday that fewer children signals a lack of hope in the future.

Countering “outdated” myths of dangerous overpopulation, the pontiff contended that far from being a problem, human beings are the solution to the world’s difficulties....

Just like today's Climate Terror frauds, the Population Terror frauds dominate media and are wrong.

The most significant quote?

 ...The pope went on to relate a conversation with a demographer who told him that the highest income-generating investments are “weapons manufacturing and contraceptives.”...

The Military-Industrial Complex and Big Pharma.

Can you recognize patterns?

Ukraine: Still Losing, After All These Years

 Wauck has a post which summarizes the situation in Ukraine.

Figure mid-2025 it's REALLY all over--but it's been lost for at least the last two years.

But Trump, Biden, and the Damn Fools in Congress can still send money, which will be spent on US arms, so the US arms manufacturers can contribute to the Damn Fools in Congress.

Oh yes:  it's musical chairs!  And you lost your seat a long time ago, taxpaying sucker.

Dear Donald Trump,.....

....You have a lot of nerve, President Trump, sending me a begging letter after having arranged with that simpering twit Michael Johnson to send all my money to Ukraine.

Please put your letter where the sun never shines.

Benji Shapiro *Hearts* Terrorist

 There are some who think Shapiro is really a good guy.

He's not.

Neoconservative commentator Ben Shapiro has praised the murderous, anti-British terrorist Menachem Begin — who eventually became the sixth Prime Minister of Israel — while slamming Joe Biden for suspending certain arms shipments to the Jewish state. Shapiro’s comments came while describing an exchange between then-Senator Biden and Begin from 1982....

Benny thinks Begin is a hero?

 ...Begin was inspired by another terrorist group — the Irish Republican Army — and the Irgun waged a bloody campaign against the British. In February 1944, it declared a revolt, which began with the bombing of the offices of the Immigration Department in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa. Then it bombed the Income Tax Offices in those three cities, followed by a number of attacks against police stations, killing six British policemen.

In 1946, Begin ordered the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the headquarters of British Mandatory Palestine. Nearly 100 people were killed and over 40 injured, including Britons, Jews, and Arabs. It remains the single bloodiest act of terrorism against the British in history, killing more people than the 7/7 bus attacks and the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing combined.

One of the most despicable acts committed by Begin’s Irgun was in July 1947, when the terrorist group kidnapped two British Army Intelligence Corps NCOs, Sergeant Clifford Martin and Sergeant Mervyn Paice. The two were executed by hanging in an Eucalyptus grove, their bodies boobytrapped....

Looks to me as though Hamas read Begin's book. So quit your bitching, Benny.

Biden Fakes a Trump-Tariff Play

Since Michigan is crucial to another four years of Biden Obama Rule, Sponge-Brain-Shits-Pants is waving a "tariff" card on Red China-built autos.

While it resembles what Trump did, it's not what Trump did; in fact, it's just a Holy Picture pose.

...this tariff approach is politically duplicitous by Biden against the backdrop of massive investment in Mexico by the three largest Chinese EV automakers. Last December the three Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery, announced they were going to spend billions building new EV manufacturing plants in Mexico.  Each Chinese auto manufacturer was going to spend between $1.5 to $2.0 billion.

Those Mexican built Chinese EV’s would pass into the USA market under current USMCA trade rules and regulations, as long as they technically meet the material origination rules.  This can make tariffs against the Chinese imported EVs a moot point, because China will be making them in Mexico (North American trade agreement)....

Trump's tariffs included ALL China autos.

Not incidental:  BlackRock has its hooks into the Chinese-Mexican equasion, too.

A Parallel With Israel?

It is said that the only long-term solution for the Israel v. Palestinian battle is that one side or the other is finally and totally eliminated.  That is stated not with "approval" but as a matter-of-fact "that's too bad, eh?" inflection.  It does seem to be a fight to the death, after all.

So here we have another, parallel, proposal this one with regards to the Covid Hoax:

...The professional political left would like nothing more than their victims to be comfortable forgiving them for their openly hostile attacks. Within that dynamic, the abuser is free to repeat the cycle, and make no mistake – they will repeat the cycle, eventually.

Actions have consequences.  We are not fast to the sentiment of hate; we know the damage that sensibility can create within oneself.  However, eventually, reluctantly, decisions are reached.

Those who perpetrated the eight years of hell need to be held to account, and unfortunately, this type of accountability is so severe in consequence there can be no quarter provided or terms which might provide even the most remote possibility of a reoccurrence.

It is uncomfortable to accept that our response needs to be of such severity that our children will be witness to a visible cold anger they did not know their parents were capable of.  But witness they must if we are to ensure these vile and intolerant leftist creatures are destroyed forever.

I would rather provide the opportunity for my children to forgive me, than to see them forever living in a hopeless land of totalitarianism where freedom and liberty have been dispatched from their lives.  At least in the former their choice is possible.

The professional political left must be destroyed with extreme prejudice....

The author here refers to the enormous abuse committed by the Fauci-ites:

 ...Our parents were forced to die alone in isolation while we were forbidden from holding their hand or being with them.

Thousands never had the opportunity to say goodbye.

We know exactly what the covenant of marriage is all about; and it has nothing to do with being forced to stand outside hospitals, screaming in unbearable choking anguish, while our wives and husbands took their last breaths…. ALONE!...

That's just the beginning.  Children will never really 'catch up' with their educational losses; millions of people were denied access to their churches and the sacraments; tens of thousands were fired for refusing to submit to (as it turns out) poisonous "vaccines" with few of them recovering their finances; thousands more died of "suddenly" incurring heart diseases in their 30's; and Big Pharma made a fortune with trickery and deceit.  Finally, the US Government, under the direction of Trump, borrowed another several tens of billions of dollars to place itself in proximate danger of fiscal collapse (with Biden likely providing the coup-de-grace).

Back to the 'extreme prejudice':  as a matter of interest, the Catholic Church has always opposed such actions on moral grounds, since trial and judgment of individuals is the only apropos response--not a mass 'trial' and sentence of execution for a class of perpetrators.

But it certainly is a temptation to apply the Israel solution, no?

He Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

PowerLine reports on an essay by Iglesias.

...He writes: “I’ve come to see the mainstreaming of this fairly extreme approach to climate change as probably the central error of the contemporary progressive movement. . . Voters don’t care that much about the Democrats’ top priority.”...

Wait until this summer's massive power outages across the West Coast, East Coast, Texas, and the Deep South.  

There will be stark raving fear in the executive offices of the utilities that shut down their coal and nuke plants to tongue-bathe the Green Weenies.

Fun!!
