On Biden:
"WE BEAT MEDICARE!" WUT? 🤣
I guess amphetamines don't always work. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ Who knew? Good Grief, Biden looked like he walked out of the embalmer's room. Pale, stiff and casket-ready. Sounded like shit, hoarse, dazed, confused, tired, mumbled, occasional staring into space Trippin' Balls. This is the best he could do after 7 days of prep?
The moments Biden appeared most alert was when Trump was talking and it was double-screen showing both candidates. I think Biden was "wired", signaling someone electronically. He touched his face and nose often, and reaching up by his ear as if sending an SOS hand signal. Then he'd start writing notes, as if receiving rebuttal talking points from his Controller via an earpiece. Thus the obvious,"Write it and say it like this Joe, 'Number One...Number Two...Number Three.'"
"That fact of the matter is...the fact of the matter is...Number one...Number Two...The...uh...I, uh, and by the way...by the way...and, uh, Guess What...I tell you what, Guess what...I tell you what...the fact of the matter is. Winnie The Pooh and juice box time now?" A rambling, word salad from someone who should reside in a Memory Care Unit.
And in golf Biden says he's, "a six handicap." Yeeeeaaaahhhh. Sure.
On Trump:
I don't agree with every policy he has. I don't agree with anyone 100% (well, only the wife - I say I agree but she knows when I'm lying).
Did you catch when Trump called Biden, "Brandon"? LMAO!
Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Do you enjoy paying 2-4X more on practically everything? How can you not support Trump?
Today I noticed that in our neighborhood, overnight, at the best price station, a gallon of gas increased from $3.04 to $3.39.
A bit repetitive on some issues but Trump had no choice but to do that in order to combat the continual accusations that have been debunked that Biden kept alleging. imho Trump turned in a fine performance.
ABC Post Debate analysts, including Liberal Lapdogs anchor David Muir and DC Reporter Jonathan Karl shredded Biden's performance. Karl indicating Dems in both DC and the DNC are in a state of shock, panic and disarray over Biden's abysmal performance.
Politico: Dems freak out over Biden's debate performance: 'Biden is toast'.

Breitbart: Rep. Cori Bush’s Primary Opponent Ahead in Poll.
After Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY)’s primary defeat in New York, a second Squad member could be in trouble, according to a new poll that shows Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO)’s opponent, Wesley Bell, pulling ahead.

NY Post: Millionaire investment banker slugs woman on NYC street during Brooklyn Pride, shocking video shows.
A millionaire investment banker allegedly slugged a woman in the face, sending her crashing down onto a Brooklyn street Saturday night.
Disturbing video shows the man violently delivering an overhand right punch to the woman’s face in front of a crowd of partygoers enjoying Brooklyn Pride in Park Slope.
It's not, allegedly, it's on video.
 |
| Jonathan Kaye |
A senior Moelis banker who punched a woman at a Brooklyn Pride event this month has left the company, a spokesperson for the investment bank confirmed to Business Insider.
The banker, Jonathan Kaye, was in charge of Moelis' global-business-services franchise. As of Monday, his profile was no longer available on the firm's website. Bloomberg reported earlier on Monday about Kaye's resignation.
[.]
The video included text that read: "This guy punched me in the face today and broke my nose and busted up my friends arm."
He claims she threw "sh-t" at him. It's unclear if he meant literal feces or using the term in the vernacular.
Video of the incident doesn't support his allegation and he should be charged with a Hate Crime.
You likely didn't hear about this story. But when a group of Palestinian students simply peacefully block Jewish students from entering the doors to a college or a meeting room, the media makes sure to endlessly hype the story.
The Intercept: Meet the Secret Donors Who Fund AIPAC’s Israel Trips for Congress.
Once an unassailable powerbroker on Capitol Hill, AIPAC and policymakers who work to further its interests have faced increasing criticism in recent years, as some members of Congress and the American public question the U.S.’s blanket support for Israel.
Dang! I'm starting to like AOC, The Squad and Bernie!
She's right. AIPAC spent a record-breaking amount trying to defeat one critic. One!
@AIPAC: Which constituents support their
Congress Rep "overwhelmingly" because of Isael, other than Jews? Name them. Why is AIPAC exempt from
registering as a foreign lobby? Hey AIPAC, let us know when you want to discuss the USS Liberty.
The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy or the Democrat(ic) ally of Israel, an apartheid state that provides safe harbor and no extradition for pedophiles.
Thomas Massie's poll gave us insight into who Americans really think meddles in our elections:
Ekathimerini: AIPAC unleashes a record $14.5 million bid to defeat a critic of Israel.
This is the message of this campaign: You stand up to powerful interests, they will try to bring you down,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who was scheduled to campaign with Bowman on Friday.
He added: “Today, they’re (AIPAC) in the Democratic primary. Tomorrow, they’ll be in the Republican primary. They don’t care.”
Sanders is right. AIPAC's interest is solely based on what's best for Israel. AIPAC will support and lobby for a Democrat or Republican, the candidate's policies really don't matter as long as Israel is at the top of the list. That's their only criteria.
Wiki: AIPAC Controversy and criticism.
A former congressional staffer complained to journalist Connie Bruck, "What was striking was how strident the message was," from AIPAC. "'How could you not pass a resolution that tells the President what the outcome of the negotiations has to be?'"
The above occurred while Obama was president. The AIPAC hubris: "How can the president of the United States not do what we want?" Good for Obama.
I dunno. The Left starts looking more attractive to me every day! 🤣

RT: Hamas would shoot gay supporters — Netanyahu.
“Who are they supporting? These murderers, these rapists of women, the beheaders of babies, the burning of innocent civilians, the taking of hostages, including Holocaust survivors?” [Benjamin Netanyahu] told the news site on Thursday.
“The people who protest with these killers…you have Gays for Gaza. That’s an absurdity if I’ve ever heard one. If you are gay in Gaza, you’ll be shot in the back of the head,” Netanyahu continued, before singling out the Palestinians’ feminist supporters.
“Women for Gaza. What are women in Gaza? They’re chattel and other such absurdities,” he complained.
Keep stoking and fomenting violence BeeBeee. It's fine, he can get away with this because he's Jewish.
Which murderers is he talking about? The IDF that admitted they killed so many of their own at the Nova music festival? Is he talking about the humanitarian aid workers killed by Israel?
"Rapists." What rapists? Both Israel and the UN admit there's no evidence of this.
"The beheaders of babies." Faked, debunked and staged by Manlet Ben Shapiro:
Pretty sure it was Israel burning Palestinians using White Phosphorus which they originally denied until it was proven that they did.
The Holocaust Hostages? Those elderly ladies who, upon being released, stated they were treated well and Israel did everything it could using their media influence to suppress their stories? Those hostages?
This BS propaganda from Satanyahu who derogatorily calls all non-Jews, "Goyim." And then he comes begging the US? He's a genocidal maniac and future history books will describe as such.
Are you starting to notice how they promote division and cause discord among all people who refuse to bow to them and give them total fealty? Their goal is to turn all non-Jews against each other so they gain more power and more control.
Meanwhile, in Sodom and Gomorrah Tel Aviv...
Netanyahu was warned numerous times an attack was imminent. He did nothing so he could use the attack as justification for genocide.
Israel created Hamas. LookitUp!

"Una Paloma Blanca", performed by Slim Whitman, from 1975's George Baker Selection.
AOC, willing to stand up against AIPAC, an intrusive, influential and authoritative group of Israeli interests placing their goals ahead of U.S. and America's best interests.
AOC stands with Thomas Massie, Rand Paul and Chris Van Hollen and Bernie Sanders. Rashida Tlaib and Illhan Omar also are critical of the influence AIPAC has on our government.
Massie also states that the majority of his colleagues, prior to committing to a position on a bill tell him, "I'll check with my AIPAC guy."
Uh, no - the only check these people need to make is representing what their constituents want, not AIPAC, Israel, CAIR or any other group.
This ISN'T anti-semitism or "Jew Hatred." No single group should wield this much influence in U.S. foreign and domestic policy, no matter who it is; Israel, Sweden, Jews, Buddhists, Italians, Irish, Greeks, the Orthodox Church, Mormons - any of them.
Another week off for the most-vacationed p(Resident) to be installed in the White House. Over 50 years in politics, a self-declared high IQ and top-of-the-class graduate from law school (both lies), and infamous globe trotting pants shatter and he has to prepare for a presidential debate? Senile old fuck.
Biden IS (as I'm always happy to point out), the first occupant of the White House who flunked Third Grade. Be honest Joe, you ate and liked that white, thick paste, didn't you? 🤣
Then there's Trump, who can, for 2+ hours, speak extemporaneously. He needs no notes, little prep.
The Biden campaign originally insisted the debate be, "sit-down," not standing.
Too bad Joe. The agreed upon manner of debate will be standing at uniform podiums.
USA McPaper: Will Biden and Trump be sitting or standing for CNN presidential debate?
In CNN’s agreed-upon rules for their 90-minute debate, “both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium,” and a coin flip will decide their podium positions.
Biden Admin now spinning that they NEVER asked that candidates be seated because Corpse Biden is incapable of standing for 90 minutes. "It's a lie! Everything anyone says unflattering about Biden is a lie," the typical gaslighting from the dreadful occupants of the White House.
If during the debate One Neuron Joe "freezes," collapses, wanders off or melts down - let him Donald. Let the debate moderators deal with it.
You can bet there's a 6-10 second broadcast delay so that if Dementia Man craters and goes blank, it won't be televised. Social Media will obtain it though, and the video will be viral. "Cheap Deep Fake," will be the defense from the liars in charge.
Biden also needs to be checked to make sure that he's not wearing a secret ear-piece and wire like he did four years ago.
How often has Biden said he'll debate Donald Trump any place, anywhere? OK then. Trump proposed 4-5 debates. NOPE! So far Biden will commit to only two. Watch'cha 'fraid of Mister Freeze?

Andrea Scheele, executive director of the Public Safety Civil Service Commission, concluded it was neither practical nor advisable for Seattle to use a new police recruitment test that has a higher rate of candidates who pass than the current test. The conclusion is likely to frustrate mayor’s office staff and council members who see the city’s current test as an obstacle to bringing in new recruits.
The test, according to the mayor and crew is, "an obstacle." The mayor's staff and council want the passing test score lowered from 90% to 70% ! 🤣 Yeah, lower the standards because, "Muh ocbastacle!"

BBC: Israeli strikes on Gaza may have violated laws of war, per UN report.

It is the conclusion of a report on what it calls six “emblematic attacks” on residential buildings, a school, refugee camps and a market between 9 October and 2 December last year.

Of course Israel deliberately targets civilians, children, humanitarian aid workers as well as killing their own people. They've been doing this for centuries. "Paging King Herod, please pick up any of the white courtesy phones to speak to our representative."

At least nine people were killed and 30 injured when Israeli attacks targeted a group of people awaiting aid trucks near the Karem Abu Salem aid crossing in Rafah, southern Gaza.

I don't have to remind people of how the Left reacted to civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the W. Bush-Obama terms. Well, they did during W. Bush, but as soon as The Kenyan took office, Liberals stopped REEEE'ing and pretended drone kills of civilians and children didn't happen.
Oooooooooooh, the objective is eliminating Hamas, you say? This IDF member says it will never happen. He's right.
Will repeat, again, for the Pearl Clutcherz who drop by: Nowhere on this blog will you find me supporting Hamas, Hezbollah or any other terrorist organization. You WILL find me critical of Israel, Netanyahu and their enablers who deliberately target civilians. I've supported temporary cease-fires, cease fires and peace negotiations. Remember John Kerry during the Obama terms telling us that we need to talk with our enemies or adversaries? Where are these people now?
Remember, Israel created Hamas. Fact!
HAPPY JUNETEENTH EVERYONE, BUT FOR THE RIGHT REASON!
Wiki: Rosenberg's Execution.
The execution was delayed from the scheduled date of June 18 because Supreme Court Associate Justice William O. Douglas had granted a stay of execution on the previous day. This stay resulted from intervention in the case by Fyke Farmer, a Tennessee lawyer whose efforts had been scorned by Bloch.[45] The execution was scheduled for 11 p.m. the evening of June 19, during the Sabbath, which begins and ends around sunset.[46] Bloch asked for more time, filing a complaint that execution on the Sabbath offended the defendants' Jewish heritage. Rhoda Laks, another attorney on the Rosenbergs' defense team, also made this argument before Judge Kaufman.[47] The defense's strategy backfired. [Judge Irving] Kaufman, who stated his concerns about executing the Rosenbergs on the Sabbath, rescheduled the execution for 8 p.m.—before sunset and the Sabbath—the regular time for executions at Sing Sing where they were being held.[48]
On June 19, 1953, Julius died from the first electric shock. Ethel's execution did not go smoothly. After she was given the normal course of three electric shocks, attendants removed the strapping and other equipment only to have doctors determine that her heart was still beating. Two more electric shocks were applied, and at the conclusion eyewitnesses reported that smoke rose from her head.
So sorry American-Jews/Jew apologists. The USA doesn't subscribe to Jewish Sabbath law. We'll execute traitors whenever we determine, not according to your antiquated customs. Don't like it? Move somewhere else.
Candace! Again, For The Win! 🤣
If the neo-cons, the Never-Trumpers, the UniParty and the RINOs keep pushing, my Libertarian-Conservative ideology will shift more towards the "middle" - - - maybe even to The Left! 🤣

RT: Israel accuses Russian ally of anti-Semitism.
West Jerusalem’s top diplomat has condemned Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for his comments on a corruption scandal.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has been criticized by Israel for suggesting that a disproportionate number of officials involved in corruption scandals in his country are ethnic Jews.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that Lukashenko’s remarks were “unacceptable,” “outrageous,” and clearly sounded “anti-Semitic.” The rebuke came one day after the Belarusian leader ranted during a government meeting about a scandal implicating dozens of suspects, including former Agriculture Minister Igor Brylo.
“Here are 36 people on a list involved in corruption,” Lukashenko told the Council of Ministers in Minsk. “Sorry, I don’t consider myself anti-Semitic, but more than half of them are Jewish. Do they have a special, privileged role, that they steal and do not think about their future? Do they have privileges?” He added, “All people’s living in Belarus should be equal: Jews, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians, and Poles.”
[.]
Lukashenko was scolded again by the Israeli government after he said in July 2021 that the whole world had been made to “kneel” to the Jewish people because of the Holocaust.
Lukashenko has the list and identified half of them are Jewish. How is this, "anti-semitic"? What if they were Americans and he would have said, "half of them are Americans"? What if half of them were Irish, and he said, "half of them are Irish"...or, "Catholics," or "Amish," or whatever?
Kvetch, Kvetch, Kvetch. It never ends.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz ... the guy who wants American Troops fighting Israel's war for them and also wants Americans fighting in Ukraine. Fuck him. Let Israel and Ukraine fight their own wars.

Dom Lucre reports the following:
BREAKING NEWS: The DailyMail just revealed a secret Democrat plot to replace Joe Biden before the election. Bill Clinton, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer ‘will topple the aging President.’
The DailyMail has revealed that if Joe loses in the first debate with Trump or if his polling numbers keep falling, it’ll take a united front of the liberal grandees to make Joe throw in the towel.
The only people who could force him out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,’ one Democratic strategist told the Mail. ‘It would have to be the four of them collectively.’
Mrs. Obama, who has no close personal feelings for the Bidens, according to one well-connected Democratic source, flat-out ignored the invitation.
strategists [sic] theorize that Democrats would have to hold a public event to symbolically transfer power from Biden to the new candidate, at which Biden, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, and Pelosi would publicly introduce and endorse the anointed nominee.
