Upchuck throws Israel under the bus to prevent Democrat infighting:

Three U.S. officials told Axios that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told the White House he was concerned that such an amendment would divide the Democratic caucus in the Senate and asked to take executive action instead.”

So Schumer didn’t attempt to stop, push back or reject efforts to add illegitimate and unnecessary conditions on military assistance to Israel. He helped Biden find another way to do it. This is a betrayal not only of Israel but also the bipartisan consensus to oppose conditioning military assistance to Israel.

This is a betrayal not only of Israel

No, it is not a "betrayal." Heavy financial and military assistance will still go to Israel no matter what, any "conditions" are eyewash. Israel just has to deal with being called names while the fleet and the checks arrive just fine.

Political commentator James Carville said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Israel–Hamas war was hurting President Joe Biden with voters.

Carville said, “The stuff in Gaza is a problem and it’s a pretty big problem that a lot of people and particularly a lot of Democrats that are uncomfortable and it turned them out to the point that they would, not vote for President Biden.”

He continued, “But I’ll tell you, Ari if they don’t get to stuff somehow another de-escalator and between now and the convention in Chicago, you don’t want to imagine what’s going to happen there. All of those cameras are going to draw people. I remember the ’68 convention and it was something horrific.”

Carville added, “I’m saying if the stuff has not de-escalated in Gaza by the time of the Democratic convention there will be protests and very emotional and active protests. I don’t know how much further it will be, I don’t know if it will be 68 and maybe that’s the low watermark for something like that. But there’s real angst in the country and it’s not just snot-nosed kids on campus, there’s angst about the way that this war is being executed. It’s hurting President Biden, and he knows that. He tried to address it a couple of times. Netanyahu needs to stay in power. I don’t have a good feeling about where this is going to go and whether it’s still around during the convention. I really don’t.”

It's getting to the point where the Arab and AWFL part of the DNC Support is competitive with the old Dem Jewish donors. AWFLs being the most important, the blue haired 20-50 year old unmarried educated women that are the foundation of the base.

This is very good news for humanity.

A split down the middle of the Democrats is optimal for everyone who tries to live by reason instead of by resentment.

Muslim vs women
Muslim vs jews
Muslim vs atheists

Muslim vs lgbtq...

I don't get why left even included Muslims. They are most exclusive of all, no one wants to or can live in their community.

It makes sense because Muslims are the traditional enemies of the West, and the left hates the West.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is the theory, but the reality is that Muslims will happily chop off the heads of the leftists as soon as they get the chance.

Patrick says

The red states do not have "sanctuary" cities for those moochers, and would immediately deport them.

You're both conflating red and blue states. Red AREAS will not accept them. My neighboring county booted them out recently. They dropped them on a country road basically in the middle of no where. I think they took them to Chicago. Pretty sure a wealthy gentleman I know bussed them about because it was near his property.

This is why I'm hyper about being local. Keep your house in order. From there work it up to the top. This is how a family works. Keep your house in order. Problem is no one in this country does besides a few. It's a plague for blacks and is why Asians are so successful. Family structure. We all have good families, towns, cities we end up with good government. That's not happening and the LGBTQ shit is making it worse for whites.

WE are primarily the enemies of Muslims because Israel is an insert into Muslim territory and have been exporting the problem THEY created to multiple Middle Eastern countries for 75 years coupled with hostility, war, and other belligerence.

Who gives a fuck? They were too weak to hold their own territory (supposedly) and now across an ocean and we're expected to care. Fuck them all. Let them all die. When does this stop that we give a flying fuck about anything across an ocean with no enemy that can attack us? WTF?

Fine. I'm perfectly fine saying "fuck it".

The ONLY REASON Israel is still around is the US keeps it around. That's the only reason. It's 10 million people, all they've done is create enemies of EVERYBODY in the Middle East, and they are blackmailing our politicians. That's who Jeffrey Epstein was. They are entrenched in our telecommunications, and they have direct access to the information of our intelligence agencies.

I think that's all a bad idea, sure, get rid of them, and they won't exist in under 10 years. It's possible they won't anyhow, and they will take us down with them. We've been in 20 years of war, MOSTLY for their benefit and NOT AT ALL for OUR benefit. Tired of this shit.

Yep.

Wasn't Istanbul once Constantinople? Maybe we should give Spain and Romania and Greece back to Islamic Control, too.

A lot of White looking Jews for a Semitic race that supposedly never intermarried.

European (Ashkenazi) Jews are indeed somewhat European in origin.

The latest scientifically supportable theory is that about 300 Jews moved north from Italy into the Rhein Valley around 800 AD for commercial reasons, converted some local European women because there were not enough women in the group, but since then mostly married only among themselves. They kept the German dialect, now called Yiddish, even after expanding into Eastern Europe by the millions - all of them descendants of those original 300 or so people.

You can very clearly see the inbreeding in 23andme results. Ashkenazi Jews are all very closely related to each other, pretty much 2nd or 3rd cousins. So if you're at all Jewish, most of your 23andme matches are Jews you've never heard of, because they are in fact all pretty closely related to you.

Some Sephardic and Greek Jews also moved up into Eastern Europe later, but I don't think it was all that many.

What's amazing is you believe media reports. That's what's astounding.

Here - can you spot what is wrong with this "news" report?

Does that set off any alarm bells for you? Nobody in our "news" media called out that bullshit, NOT THEY WOULD HAVE TO, if anybody was capable of thinking. Are you capable of thinking?

What's wrong with that "news" segment? Can you spot it. One may not be well known, but is entirely damning, the other is quite obvious to me at least. What's wrong with that?

This BULLSHIT shows up in NATIONAL NEWS and nobody in our "news" system calls them out on it, even when it's blatantly obvious propaganda. It's embarrassing and I'm no longer of the mindset of "OK, here's what you missed you see..." - I'm done with that. Yo're a fucking idiot to listen to these assholes. I've been patient for 20 years, gently explaining why it's propaganda, now at this point, if you don't recognize it's propaganda, you're a fucking retard.

We are involved because we facilitated the agreement* by which Israel gave up the Sinai Peninsula they captured after kicking Egypt's (and Soviet's) ass in 1967 and 1973. This is why both Israel and Egypt are getting yearly security assistance from the US.

I'm surprised you don't know any of that.

Link boy. So what link is valid and not valid? I agree that video is bull shit, but that's CNN. What's real and fake anymore?

I've said it. If I don't see it or personally know someone that witnessed it, it didn't happen. For example, this literally happened 30 minutes ago. My wife was almost in an accident on the highway down to St. Louis. She was the first to call 911. That happened. If I saw it in the news and don't know anyone there I'm at the point of fuck it, it didn't happen. It's bull shit. This is the world we're living in.

We're living in a world where users here think filing paper tax returns and getting a paper check keeps them their privacy. They drive a car and think their face isn't recognized. I really don't think anyone here realizes how 1984'd you all are.

Travel helps because you can see the zombies. Don't confront them, just be aware of them. Don't get in arguments. I think a lot of you guys here need to get out of the house more in a non-work capacity.

Anything on television should be ignored. Anybody speaking that is regularly on television should be ignored. That is not to say everything on television is garbage, just so much of it is, it's not worth going through. Media reports from "establishment sources" should be suspect and any references to "anonymous sources" should be treated as fabricated. Sources of information taken from anybody from the intelligence agencies should at least be thoroughly investigated, and they will likely be false. Sources that will not allow you to easily verify what they report should be treated with healthy suspicion although you can go through the work to verify them.

WookieMan says

I really don't think anyone here realizes how 1984'd you all are.

I think I do. The problem is that it's going to get worse if people refuse to wake up. It really is trivial to record every single word you say on a phone and every email you send, therefore it's done. We have no privacy.

I tried to warn people against Facebook and Twitter over 10 years ago, it just fell on just deaf ears. I tried to warn people YouTube was engaging in political censorship, nobody believed it. 20 years ago I tried to point out media was bullshit, well the people who hated George W. Bush believed it was true for Fox, but not CNN, PBS, NPR, etc. People are trapped in a false dichotomy. In 2014, if I said Obama was doing a bad job, I must have loved Bush, and if I said Bush fucked up, I must have loved Obama. It was RARE to find somebody that understood I actually thought both people were garbage.

There is information on the Internet, everything is here, HOWEVER you have to learn to recognize what is likely to be false. Over time you can eliminate bad players and just ignore them (I've done that with the entire so called mainstream media), and then you can start eliminating bad actors in the "alternative media". You have to compile facts, check their statements, and basically vet them one at a time looking not for errors, but dishonesty. People make legitimate errors in both facts and reasoning. Jimmy Dore is kind of a moron when it comes to economics, but he's right about foreign policy and he's finally realized we don't have a republic, and this is a uniparty.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the truth never has a contradiction in it. You will not have to contend with cognitive dissonance if you are reading the truth. You will if you're listening to propaganda - for example, we have mostly peaceful protests, but January 6th was an insurrection. That requires double think to believe both those. Eliminate one of them. One can decide there was peaceful protests (mostly) and there was no insurrection or vice versa. At least you're 1/2 way there. You'll eliminate the other in time when you find something contradicting that belief. Keep doing this until you don't experience cognitive dissonance at all. It will take years. You have to be diligent in recognizing you are experiencing cognitive dissonance and immediately start out eliminating one of your beliefs. You'll forget to do it otherwise, cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable, people tend to try to ignore it.

Worrying about cognitive dissonance while dismissing the God who both created and yet defies all logic is rich. Even for Richard Wicks. Before you worry about dismissing certain beliefs, everyone better double check that they haven’t dismissed the most important truths.

I know of it. I don't care. People make commitments all the time called marriage and then bail 50% of the time. Deals are constantly broken. People cheat and lie to each other. Fuck them. We have no obligation to Isreal or Gaza or Ukraine. Fuck 'em. All of it is retardation to the extreme.

The New York Times ran a swelling story yesterday headlined, “Campus Protests Over Gaza Intensify Amid Pushback by Universities and Police.” You’ve probably been waiting impatiently for this development; and now, your waiting is over, the summer of protest finally begins! At least the kids are doing something, you know, productive.

And it’s spreading faster than gonorrhea during Spring Break. “Patient Zero” was Columbia University, which was taken in the rear, by surprise, and has now been occupied so fully and so intensely that the school recently canceled all in-person classes through year’s end.

Columbia’s massive pro-Palestine protest is well-organized and well-funded. At Columbia, and at most of the subsequent occupations, the protestors arrived on campus outfitted with expensive tents and camping supplies, since they clearly intend to hang for around a long time...

This protest season sort of blends Occupy Wall Street with Seattle’s CHAZ/CHOP, and a stationary version of George Floyd’s “covid-immune” parades and protests during 2020’s Summer of Love. Masks appear optional this time and the dress code is grunge chic. Riots TBA.

Not all states are rolling over like pleasant pussycats this time. Some learned their lessons last election season. Texas quickly cleared University of Austin’s campus, with jackbooted anti-protestors cracking a few skulls full of mush, and de-squatting the tent-bearing occupiers who were dashing toward the school’s commons area. At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, the police moved in just before lunchtime yesterday to shove off an expanding encampment of about 100 protesters preparing to squat amidst the formerly-peaceful center of campus, which USC apparently required for other, non-protest purposes.

Whomever is behind this national rampage hasn’t yet tried setting up any tent cities in Florida, and I suspect it won’t go well for them if they are dumb enough to try it.

But in all the predictable locales, stinky protestor tent cities are cropping up like diseased daisies after a nuclear meltdown. At Harvard, woke school administrators pretended to stop it, but quickly raised their flabby, pale, limp arms in useless surrender—what, after all, can they really do at the end of the long protest day?

True though.

There is no politician brave enough to stay that we should not fund Israel at all.
