CANDACE OWENS UNHINGED.

I LIKE Candace Owens a lot . But with all honesty the her obsession with Charlie Kirk, his murder , the cabal of Conspiracy, that I can relate to her how I feel about the whole thing. Now Candace has sunk deep , and deep into a rabbit hole that starting to sound like blame THE JEWs , but she is falling over a cliff with this . Congratulations Candace. Because of you, my eyes have been opened to what Israel has done to our country through Aipac. And no, criticizing Israel isn't anti-Semitic... If they weren't committing a genocide, maybe people wouldn't be talking about them. I do admire her for calling out what the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians, which is evil , unaccusable, but to blame every Jew is like blaming every Christian for the Crusades . It falls off a cliff . Yes , she in her Latest episode, linked the " Jews" to the African Slave trade While blindly ignoring that it was the African Muslims, Africans themselves who sold out their people to the slave trade  , to the White Man. Now if the Jews where involved, you might two Christians , three Muslims buying and selling the African people. Can't be just the Jews. Most Jews were hiding during the 16th Century and 17th Century, and if they were involved in a lucrative slave trade , probably is heinous. But not every Jew , not every Christian, not every Muslim was involved in slavery. There is a long list of things Jews supposed did, caused, or are responsible for. You got the old standards, Jews killed Jesus or apparently murdered children as part of some twisted Passover ritual or even caused the Bubonic plague. Then there's the bizarre claims where there's definitely documented blame and it's not Jews yet it's suddenly somehow still their fault like Jews were behind the slave trade and the biggest slave owners or Jews were behind 9/11 and even the lies about 10/7 that the attack was tiny and only against military targets but the IDF did most of the killing of their own people to have an excuse to go to war. I'm just imagining the logic: criticism of Israel is not antisemitic you're just trying to silence me! Anyways Jews are trying to subjugate us by getting us addicted to porn! What? Israel is a religious fundumentalist ethnostate who believe in 3000 year old prophecies? Ok but they still believe in porn! Also this is all Jews to be clear.  The irony of people who took money from an absolute monarchy that murders journalists and dissidents by cutting them up while they're still alive coming and complaining about the human rights abuses of the only Middle Eastern state that allows women legal equality or queer people the literal right to exist is something.Israel isn't perfect but compared to Saudi Arabia Israel is a leftist paradise and compared to what the Saudi air Force has done in Yemen the IAF campaign in Gaza is restrained.The claim that Jews ran the Atlantic slave trade originates in Nation of Islam ideology and was popularized by Louis Farrakhan and Nation of Islam literature, particularly The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews (1991).While rejected by historians and many Black scholars, the claim circulated widely enough to become 'common knowledge' in some African American communities through repetition rather than evidence. Candace isn’t crazy. But close enough. Well, she is a scam artist - yes. But she is very genuine and authentic about the Palestinian issue. She has lost her entire livelihood because of it. She lost her Daily Wire contract and also lost her Youtube Channel, her two primary sources of income. They even warned her that if you don’t stop doing this, you might get fired, and she didn’t stop. I know Candace Owens has been responsible for a lot of bad off the wall conspiracy theories, which I have a few of them regarding the State of Israel today, but am not going to throw the blame the Jews alone because a lot Christians  pretty much created the mess in the Middle East, we see today. The blame game can't be marginalized to one specific group because the blame can go around.  

COVID Vaccine and Cancer?

This ARTICLE was produced by the Author regarding three of his friends getting Cancer after receiving all the COVID vaccines, boosters.  It's no way meant to diagnose or cure , but to arouse awareness. Note to the following article: " The idea that covid vaccines cause or accelerate cancer is a conspiracy theory". We are exploring a idea , we are asking questions, that has been called misinformation. Yes, there has to be a independent investigation with scientists to study mRNA Vaccines, genetic manipulation as a cause to the spread of a specific disease.

Deja Vu: "Trump’s Reversal on Warp Speed Opens a Window of Opportunity to Halt COVID-19 mRNA Injections !!! News made it a few months ago ". The reversal on Covid injections , and now recent revelations SLOWLY being released now is linking mRNA Vaccines with Cancer. Unfortunately, he didn't do a reversal. He's asking for raw data to be given publicly. Which means Pfizer, et al are now creating false data behind closed doors that they will share. What puzzles me is that why would they ACTIVELY make the vaccine dangerous? That couldn't be good for the bottom line.... You'd be better off just injecting saline and sugar water for the placebo effect at that point.Doctor Patrick Soon-Shiong has gone viral after issuing explosive warnings about child deaths linked to the COVID vaccine, and spike proteins found in cancer tumors. No 🙂‍↔️ one HAD any CLUE 🗝️ that any data has shown cancer increase in people who took the CV injection. It's never been discussed medically that there is probably a link to cancer spikes in people who were perfectly healthy, after receiving the CV injection started having strange side effects to the mRNA Vaccines. Almost four years of data has been leaking out that 98 million were exposed to a contaminated cancer causing virus in the polio vaccine. The covid vax is also linked to cancer. New cancer cases were consistent year are year. After the covid vax for the 1st time ever over 2 million new cases. Does COVID-19 knock down and damage tumor suppressing protein p53, causing a potential increase in cancer cases as implied by Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong?

 Enter Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong .

“Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has drawn attention to recent research suggesting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein may impact the tumor suppressor protein p53, potentially leading to immune suppression and an increased risk of cancer following COVID-19 infection. “If this is true, would there be a gigantic rise in cancer soon?  His paper📜 { https://www.oncotarget.com/article/28582/text/}  NOW .Fair question. But there are differences. With natural infection, the virus enters via the nose and/or mouth, where the body's mucosal immunity starts fighting it. The mRNA injections with lipid nanoparticles bypass the natural defenses, and protect the spike-producing mRNA long enough for it to enter cells and begin replicating.  All the stuff they told us 5 years ago about the injected mRNA staying in the deltoid, and production of spike only lasting a few days at most, is patently wrong. There is no "off" switch, and no guarantee that the needle won't hit a blood vessel and send mRNA into the bloodstream.Making one's body continually produce the toxic spike protein for weeks, even months, is going to have a far worse effect than dealing with the spike for a week or two until the immune system finishes it off. Especially when the mRNA has traveled to the heart, lungs, kidneys, and/or reproductive organs, causing spike-production damage there.

Spike Protein Problem.

"Spike protein in COVID virus AND SHOTS weakens immune system, may be linked with cancer: ‘We found that the spike protein localizes in the nucleus and inhibits DNA damage repair" Please, everyone reading this very important post, I hope you will take it seriously. Tell your friends and loved ones. I've been telling people for the longest time about the dangers of not only the COVID vaccines but also any vaccine. Cancer rates in younger people (read, 40s and 50s) were going up since before COVID. Stat I found when looking for sources is that between 1975 and 2015, cancer rates for women aged 25-39 went up by 1.15% every year, and 0.46% for men: see 👁️ { https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6686848/} All to say, the more likely culprits are factors which were introduced or got worse over that time period. Personally, my money is on microplastics in the food and water supply.I will never again get a vaccination - not after what I've learned. Some people will laugh at these claims.........until they end up with Cancer, Non-hodgkin's lymphoma, Lupus, Muscular Dystrophy, Anxiety, Leukemia, Crohn's Disease, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Psoriasis, Diabetes, PTSD, Psychosis, OCD, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, ALS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Cardiovascular Disease, Neuroendocrine tumors, Cirrhosis, and even Autism. Good eye. Immediate curve separation is a solid check. I have a running list of maybe 50 types of confounding in covid vaccine studies. An extremely muddled subject. In general the vaccinated are far healthier than the unvaccinated, and most studies like this would usually show the opposite and then be abused to say vaccination prevents every cancer imaginable. But not in this case. Nothing much of anythign can be said from this study. Having said all that, I think think the idea that vaccination might accelerate indolent cancer is one to be taken seriously. Early on, I watched a video of a doctor from some "white coat summit" showing his supposed findings of people who had the MRNA vaccine. He claimed that the, IIRC, protein hook didn't stay in the place of the injection site like it was claimed to. Instead, it was traveling the system and causing swelling in major organs, from the liver to the heart.  Take that for what ya will. Jonathan Couey is a biologist who has been exploring how the anti tumor parts of out immune system might be turned off by these mrna vaccines. I’ll try to see if I can explain the mechanism…. But basically our immune system is always checking for cells which are abnormal and destroying them, specifically the ones that are exhibiting tumor like qualities. And the way the vaccine works might be disabling this function of our immune system, or at least hypothetically could. He has a channel on twitch, but his video are like 2 hours long, so it’s a bit difficult to just find the parts where he breaks down the action. Now the theories non mainstream may have a interesting point 👉 that dormant cancer cells may become activated by mRNA Vaccines because the spike protein attaches itself to a cancer cell , it causes the cancer cell to replicate itself in the body . What can be said is a cautious conjecture , a mRNA Vaccines cause cells to mutate , while fighting COVID they attached themselves to other cells .  REMEMBER the rush for a vaccine is extremely fishy , could this be some experiment on the population ? Meanwhile , the likes of former presidents Clinton and George W. Bush, Barack Obama, America's first black president, Fauci has said he plans to get vaccinated on camera to promote community acceptance of the vaccine. Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris also says she'll take her shots once a vaccine is approved. If there are dangers to this vaccine it could be too late . Allergic reactions right now may not be common place , but could widen . WE still don't know the true nature of the vaccine. BUT BIG PHARMA is in control of this. AstraZeneca’s chief executive, Pascal Soriot, told the press event. “There’s no competition,” he added.There's no vaccine against Crapitalism. Sounds like a wonderful investment opportunity to me. Crapitalism is wonderful! There is no problem it cannot solve! I can hardly wait for the next pandemic.Sarah Gilbert, also at the University of Oxford, said at the press conference that more research was needed to work out why the half dose seems to prime the body to respond better. “It could be that by giving a small amount of the vaccine to start with and following up with a big amount, that’s a better way of kicking the biggest and most effective immune system response,” she said. Asked about side effects from taking the covid-19 vaccine, she said earlier, smaller phases of its development had seen people reporting sore arms, fever and headache.So all this does is prevent symptoms. But side effects may include sore arms, fever and headache. Surely this is a joke? Even the Onion can't make shit like this up. There are many more that I didn't list, but you get the idea. :-l

WHAT IS NEXT?

How Corrupt is Corrupt as in Washington DC?

The government is in the hands of boodlers, grafters and lobbyists; that the individual rights of the people are disregarded and trampled upon; that a system of wicked espionage is carried on; that the homes and places of business of citizens are daily invaded in violation of the fundamental law of the land; that power is concentrated in the hands of a few to the detriment of the people; that the selfish and powerful interests employ the forces of the government to build up special privileges and circumscribe the individual’s opportunity; that in 2025 the president of the United States was selected by a few selfish men or their representatives . These are just some of the evils that prevail in the United States government, which is said to be the most nearly ideal of all governments of earth. There is a reason. The theory that government has been operating as a “deep state” gone “rogue,” in the words of recent legislation seeking to limit judicial checks on the executive branch, has been motivating Republicans for years. Now it seems that Congress as in Republicans and Democrats are the Uni -Party that works and operate like a subsidies of special interests to foreign countries, not as working for Americans interests .

The Deep State is Still in Washington DC.

Suppose George Washington, in his farewell address, had told the people of the United States that from 1914 to 2025 would be a time of trouble, great distress and perplexity; and that these things would be but a harbinger to a better time just at hand; and that shortly following these troublous times conditions would greatly improve for the better and for the benefit of the people. Official views on a future national monetary ar-rangement could hardly be more divergent than be-tween the French and the Americans. The French favor a return to fixed exchange rates among the world's major currencies, along with a key role for gold in any new system. Most leading American economic policy framers, on the other hand, prefer to see currencies "float," as they do today. And they do not hide their intense distaste for gold. Not only are American monetary policies highly suspect in Western Europe, but so are Washington's views in the critical area of world trade. Europeans, for the most part, are highly suspicious of the repeated calls by American trade experts for a "fair deal" for U. S. exports. They translate "fair deal" as "special advantage." The Americans, in turn, take sharp issue with the Common Market's various and sundry quotas, discriminatory taxes and preferer. There seem to be a lot of directions Trump heads that have to steer into prior agendas of intelligence and deep state. Did you see he couldn't even defund the "Institute of Peace" that takes $$$ from the gov with 0 accountability? He's not the fascist people call him .For god's sake, Trump was caught with the most classified information that the government has and it appears he was selling it to the highest bidder. People seeing this man and wanting to work for him don't need to be black mailed. In fact - we know that Republican billionaires give gifts to decision-makers. We know that SCOTUS, who isn't even in Trump's orbit, is easily bribeable. It's part and parcel of the conservative movement. That's why it's a counterpoint to the OP, which was that they're susceptible to blackmail, when they will sell out for bribes. You just can't convince me that Tulsi Gabbard would even be capable of being fleeced or blackmailed when she's doing what the Kremlin wants her to do be doing. What you're not taking into account is the risks of foreign adversaries - the actual people who come and do the espionage - take on when they try to do the blackmailing. They don't have any incentive when Trump himself is either a willing stooge or already compromised. They don't have to interfere when the people Trump is putting in positions are already irreparably harming America's soft and economic power. You don't have to blackmail Flynn when he's already on the payroll. You don't have to blackmail Ivanka and Jared when you could just bribe them. That's what I'm saying: It's so much easier to get willing stooges and/or bribable people than to use blackmail. On top of that - people have to have a base of knowledge to be fleeced. The Trump administration is filled with people who either believe in Trump or have no beliefs and sell out to the highest bidder. When you think about it, it was all to sabotage Trump. When Trump told everybody to go home and to be peaceful, they accused him of using a dog whistle. The deep state hates Trump, but sometimes, I believe they really like Nick. The ride is falling apart right now. We’ve got a unify on some basic common sense issues, and just stick to those if we want to win the midterms. But I think we have already lost them.

War With Venezuela Coming!?.

Searching for alternate solutions, experts have eyed Venezuela's mil- lion million (one trillion in U. S. ter- minology) barrels of heavy oil, and also the probable 300,000 million barrels of recoverable oil in the Ath-abascan tar sands of northeastern Alberta, Canada. The risks surrounding Venezuela, the world’s largest oil and gas reserves holder, are clearly skyrocketing. With Venezuela’s president, Maduro, calling upon Russia, China, and Iran to assist in a possible military confrontation with the USA, global oil and gas markets are growing increasingly nervous about a potential conflict. The ongoing military buildup by the Trump Administration around Venezuela, officially set up to confront the country’s perceived pivotal role in the international drug trade, almost looks like the so-called military training activities of Vladimir Putin’s Russia before the invasion of Ukraine. While no decision has officially been taken in Washington, military sources are indicating that military action or even an invasion of Venezuela has received the green light.  The United States and its large amounts of shale and coal have also been considered, as they could be converted into almostunlimited quantities of hydrocarbons. The Bush administration justified its disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq with the pretext that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction which, as it turned out, it didn’t. And as US Central Command commander General John Abizaid admitted about the Iraq war at the time: “Of course it’s about oil, it’s very much about oil, and we can’t really deny that.” The invasion killed tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, and destabilized the broader Middle East region for years. And now here we go again. A similar pretext—this time “drug interdiction”—is being used to justify a potential US invasion and regime change in Venezuela.Here’s one for ya’——–> Trump uses the bogus pretext of “narco-terrorism” by which to kill innocent people at sea and threaten Venezuela with war, right? ——– Meanwhile ,he just gave a full pardon to an actual narco-terrorist who was serving a 45 yr. sentence. —-he’s a former president of Honduras whose regime was up to their eyeballs in drug trafficking/murder/you name it. —–oh, and he’s a good friend of Trump’s. —–I’m sure Trump will be grilled about this by our vaunted ‘free press’, huh? /s

What's NEXT?.

Astrological Analysis.

Here is a short astrological prediction regarding Donald Trump, the economy, and conflict for the 2025–2026 period.

The Prediction

The coming years suggest a period of high volatility where personal ambition clashes with structural limits. The charts indicate a radical "shake-up" of the US financial system driven by debt cycles, alongside a high risk of impulsive military engagement triggered by a need to project strength.

1. The Economy: Restriction & Debt (♄ in ♓)

The presence of Saturn (♄) transiting through Pisces (♓) and eventually entering Aries (♈) activates Trump's 8th House (the sector of shared resources, national debt, and transformation).

 * The Symbolism: ♄ represents restriction, karma, and cold reality. In the 8th House, this signals a "reckoning" concerning national debt and banking structures.

 * The Forecast: Expect a tightening of liquidity. The ♄ influence suggests that aggressive economic expansion attempts may hit a wall of structural limitation, forcing a painful restructuring of financial obligations.

2. War & Conflict: The Explosive Opposition (♂ ☍ ♇)

A critical flashpoint occurs as Mars (♂) enters Leo (♌) in mid-2025. This creates a volatile opposition to Pluto (♇) in Aquarius (♒).

 * The Symbolism: ♂ (The God of War) returning to Trump's Rising sign (Leo ♌) amplifies his ego, vitality, and desire for dominance. ♇ (The Transformer) in Aquarius ♒ represents collective power and technological upheaval.

 * The Forecast: When ♂ opposes ♇, the friction generates explosive energy. Because ♂ is on his Ascendant (self), he may feel personally challenged by global powers. This aspect is a classic "war signature," suggesting that a sudden, ego-driven decision could escalate a technological or proxy skirmish into a kinetic conflict.

3. The Catalyst: The Uranus Return (♅ in ♊)

Uranus (♅) enters Gemini (♊), directly impacting Trump’s natal Sun (☉) and North Node.

 * The Symbolism: ♅ is the "Great Awakener" and the planet of chaos, shocks, and revolution. ♊ is the sign of communication and duality.

 * The Forecast: This transit brings unpredictability to his leadership style. The ♅ ☌ ☉ (Uranus conjunct Sun) aspect indicates that he will likely break established protocols entirely. In the context of war and economy, this signifies that his actions will be sudden, erratic, and intended to shock the status quo, making traditional forecasting impossible.

Summary: The alignment of ♂ (Aggression) and ♄ (Restriction) creates a pressure cooker. The economic squeeze (♄) may serve as the trigger that pushes him toward conflict (♂) as a means of breaking the deadlock (♅).

What's NEXT!?.

It’s called irony. The US has bases and Allie’s right up to other potential rivals. It has Japan, SK, Taiwan, Philippines right up in Chinas backyard and China acts accordingly. But the second someone else does the same, the reaction is literally nothing but war or utter economic ruin for the said nation. Venezuela becoming Chinas ally or even Russias is such an insignificant factor because the US has the largest navy in the world on both sides of the oceans.If China wants to aid Venezuela in any meaningful way, they geographically can’t. Never mind crossing the pacific, but then they’d have to cross the Panama Canal.

A war is an insane overreaction.

MAGA IMPLODES.

The Rift Between MTG and
Trump, the Shutdown, the 
support for endless wars has
probably set MAGA to
implode.

(1)>>MAGA may have Imploded. Has Trump betrayed his base supporters? You have to notice how MAGA is starting to slowly wake up . Talk about Trump’s numbers in the polls invariably leads to a counterpunch that the polls are always wrong or that a specific poll is rigged to make Trump look bad.  So for all my MAGA friends who think things are going great, let’s put some facts on the record. This is undoubtedly where American public opinion is, and MAGA and the White House needs to accept it and change accordingly. Failure to do so will effectively end the Trump administration with Democratic majorities in the Congress issuing subpoenas on a daily basis. The current state of the Democratic Party is the best thing Republicans have going for us as we approach the 2026 midterm election. This is not about one poll from an organization that leans left. This is about multiple polls from multiple respected outlets. Washington’s stubborn budget impasse found an ignominious place in history on Wednesday when it entered its marking the longest government shutdown since the nation’s founding. Trump’s economy has now arrived, and it’s as catastrophic as the experts predicted. Despite his promises not only to curb inflation but also to bring prices down, there is no relief in sight, because Trump never had a plan for dealing with any of that. Housing remains out of reach for many, unemployment is rising, and, thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill Act, Medicaid is about to eject millions of recipients to help offset a budget-busting tax cut for rich people. The SHUTDOWN probably exposed a fundamental weakness in our Government System. The Government has a lack of empathy towards its people. While we may argue that the signs of a eroded, dysfunctional Congress is evidence.  Federal Workers are trapped working, while Congress members receive pay funded by tax payers. Congress is both Democrats and Republicans. Both parties are disgusting, should be held accountable for their stupidity, gaslighting and finger pointing. Trump , the President too should be blamed as well. The OBBBA cuts medicare & medicaid subsidies which are projected to cause health care costs to double, triple and in some cases to dectuple, making it unaffordable for millions of people who still have it. It's also projected to cause some rural hospitals to close. Republicans claim that the cut is to prevent undocumented immigrants from getting services, even though there are laws against that, and the undocumented don't have Medicare cards. The Republicans then pivot to illegals getting care at emergency rooms, which is covered by a Reagan era law, and then they say it's to prevent paying for transgender surgery, which is pretty much elective. After the smoke & flashing mirrors, the dispute boils down to where the (2)>>Democrats have drawn a line in the sand, refusing to pass the budget bill as long as it includes cuts to Medicare, Medicaid & social security. Mike Johnson's response is that Dems should allow the cuts to go through, and he promises that Republicans will try to fix the resulting carnage some other time, Trump's healthcare plan will be ready in 2 weeks, (a quote from 2017) .There’s still a very real possibility that he’ll swoop in at the last second and send SNAP out via executive order so he can be the hero. And if that happens, I want everyone to remember he has had the power to do that (3)>>THE ENTIRE TIME and could have reassured people from the start that they wouldn’t go hungry. The cruelty is the point here. He wants people to turn on each other. He wants a reason to declare martial law and deploy more troops in the streets. I don’t think the shut down is a bug of the plan, I think it’s a feature. The shutdown allows Trump and company to squeeze more overreach. It’s a way to a means, of presuming more control to reshape and reform our republic. It’s a ‘blank check’ to do what they want. For instance, they cut hundreds of billions from SNAP in the big, beautiful bill. With the shut down, they’ve been able to cut it all, even in defiance of court orders. They’ve cleaned out more federal workers. They’ve ended even more programs.…and we’ve still added what? Almost $2 trillion to our deficit in FY2025. He WANTS us to act like it’s the goddamn Hunger Games. But if he does saunter in and issue SNAP at the last second- (4)>>HE IS NOT THE HERO. HE’S THE ABUSER. But the Trump Administration is making the situation worse by taking unprecedented, and even illegal, steps during the shutdown to inflict unnecessary damage to public services and investments, the federal workers who deliver them, and the public who depends on them, seemingly to force Democrats in Congress to accede to the Administration’s funding demands. The irony is that the longer this drags on, the more it demonstrates exactly the opposite of strength. Economic disruptions from government shutdowns cascade through supply chains, federal contracts, and consumer confidence none of which make any country more competitive globally. The real test of leadership isn't how long you can sustain dysfunction, but how quickly you can restore stability and growth. History shows that nations that prioritize governance over grandstanding consistently outperform those that don't. My true apologies if that sounds biased, but the Dems stance is simply that they refuse to vote to pass the cuts, the projected consequences come from independent sources, and the Republicans won't commit to a clear and credible alternative. Trump admin has been getting too high on their own supply. They thought the voter base he had is so strong and the Democrats are so toxic that they’d follow him wherever he goes. Even if it’s off a cliff. The reality is that only ~30% of voters fit that bill (which is already too high). So they could use the shutdown for their own gain. But the economy is terrible. Prices are rising. The distinction is worse than ever.  (5)>>People are pissed and they’re tired. With the Epstein files implicating Trump and Trump on Laura Ingrams show saying he wants more Chinese immigrants pissing off maga and the maga civil war brewing it appears they are finally collapsing. I couldn’t believe it at first I thought surely they’ll pull back together they always do but not this time I don’t think. Mtg is going on the view to criticize republicans. Owen shroyer left infowars because Alex refused to criticize Trump. Nick Fuentes,Candace Owen’s ,Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly are fighting with all of the old guard republicans and conservative podcasters.

 NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>MAGA may have Imploded.  MAGA isn't imploding from within. Yes, there is some infighting happening, but until the Republican party reps and senators abandon MAGA, it will remain. I'm not saying it won't happen, but we need to atleast wait until the midterms are over before we start making posts about MAGA dying off. Republicans have, for a long time, made it clear that they believe that the services the federal government provides should be greatly reduced. The current government shutdown was/is never going to end with Democrats getting the things they've been pushing for (namely the ACA subsidy extensions) because Republicans have no incentive to cave to any such demands. In fact, they've made it quite clear that they're totally fine with literally starving people and crippling many basic public functions.Or even think about it from the other direction: why do Democrats care about the ACA susbisdies being extended? Because access to healthcare is a basic need and many people will die as a result of not being able to afford basic treatment for any number of injuries and illness. But isn't the same thing true about Republicans currently blocking SNAP benefits (i.e., access to affordable food)? They have been pretty vocal about this being something they want (and it's literally outlined in Project 2025).So, on the one one hand - Democrats can hold out on the slim hope that Republicans will eventually cave (which they won't because they are uncaring sociopaths) but in the meantime, people (especially children, disabled, amd elderly) will literally starve and die. That's on top of many public workers being pushed closer to poverty because they are either fired, furloughed, not being paid, or resigning - all of which has ripple effects on the agencies they work for being able to operate effectively. Plus, the longer the shutdown goes on, the more likely Republicans will be to end the filibuster, which would allow them to push through far, far worse legislation with minimal resistance.On the other hand, they can sign onto Republican's bill and people will die because they can't afford medical care. Plus, Republicans will be shown that their terroristic threats on the American people will work in the future as well (which, let's be honest, they've known that for a long time). It sounds like a dammed if you do, dammed if you don't kind of situation - Republicans are going to get people killed no matter what and they don't care.(2)>>Democrats have drawn a line in the sand. HOLY CRAP! It's now been exposed that 14 days into the federal government shutdown - Democrat moderates were about to REOPEN everything, but Chuck Schumer ordered them into a 'backroom' and said "NO. HOLD OUT." "A group of moderates came to Schumer 2 weeks in and said, 'we're ready to reopen the government.' He said 'no, hold out!' He said if anyone tried to reopen the government, he'd stand against them!" "He caused the pain. He pushed the pain through!" Despicable, Chuck. You disgust America! To make matters worse Trump can’t even rely on corporate media to get Trump fatigue and stop covering him like last time, because there is now an exploding left wing online media industry which is covering his every move and not letting it fade into the background. This in turn is giving focus to protestors and even giving the do nothing Democratic leadership a hard time keeping their control over the party who wants young Democrats with bold Ideas instead of the old guard. Exciting times. (3)>>THE ENTIRE TIME and could have reassured people from the start that they wouldn’t go hungry.  43 million Americans on SNAP means 1 in 8 people are on Food Stamps. I think it's a balance of electoral interest vs actual long-term policy goals. It's one thing to have SNAP die for a month or two, it's another to make healthcare entirely unaffordable for 10 million people for the foreseeable future. Plus, politically, it's better to be able to say "we fought tooth and nail against rising premiums, even shut down the government" than simply "the other side did this and we watched them fuck you over." I think the sheer act of forcing a government shutdown is the best way for Dems to position themselves as having the moral high ground. And in fact, making it the hill they die on and forcing Republicans to negotiate or kill the filibuster would have been the optimal strategy in my opinion. Because next year they'd be able to say they did everything legally in their power to stop Republicans from doing this, and they had to change longstanding Senate rules to increase your premiums. "They really wanted this and we couldn't do anything about it because we're the minority, now vote for us so we have a chance to stop more damage" seems like a solid midterm argument to me.  (4)>>HE IS NOT THE HERO. HE’S THE ABUSER. The current shutdown is not over yet but at the very least it will tie for longest shutdown in history (and it's a full one unlike the previous record holder). Back during Obama's presidency Trump said that ALL shutdowns are the president's fault since it's his job to get people around the table and find a deal to solve the problem or avoid it entirely. The first shutdown was 100% Trump fault since he was the one that vetoed a budget proposal passed by congress but this time it's a more "conventional" case of both parties refusing to move from their positions (Trump did tell republicans to just ignore democrats). And I’ll clarify this a bit. I do not believe that we can blame these two longest shutdowns on it being solely Donald Trump as the variable. Instead, I would argue that the issue is Congress becoming comfortable working under the operating norm that truth is relative to their need. For democrats this is used to state that republicans want families to go hungry. I think that is secondary to republicans having the most stonewall approach to existence ever whether they are the minority or majority. They loathe negotiations. Which sucks, because that’s their job they just prefer to do all the secondary tasks rather than the primary ones. For republicans, it’s culture wars and talking points. Using illegal aliens as a prop and claiming that emergency care, which goes to all Americans because your local hospitals aren’t going to let you bleed out after a car crash waiting for your documents to be confirmed, is also demonstrating a tenuous relationship with the truth. Both parties have desires, and while I am absolutely willing to admit that republicans these last few years have been proportionally more likely to dig in and refuse to cooperate (even amongst each other), that is the “strong willed” trait they have been weeded out for by their constituents. They wanted personality traits of leaders, not leaders themselves. (5)>>People are pissed and they’re tired. Blame to swirl around. President Trump so happens to be a man who can be swayed by his party (arguably the other way around but I feel they both point at each other as their source now) and thus has no problem refusing to leash his Congress into action. While I am fully aware that the difference between these is so small as to almost be pointless, I genuinely believe that even if the President is making demands of Congress, it is Congress’ fault if they choose to have no spine or choose not to negotiate themselves. They answer to their constituents a hell of a lot sooner than the President.

 

TRUMP UNHINGED!

From Demolition of East Wing of the 
White House, to Cutting ✂️ deals 
with Foreign Nations 
And Possibly Going to
war with Venezuela.
Stay Tuned, it's UNHINGED!

Things ARE Going to GET CRAZY 🤣😧.  We  didn't warn you enough. There are definitely SIGNS of something going down 👎. We the first sign is the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a 300 million dollar Ballroom. Right in the middle of this chaos is a GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. We are building a bit of momentum, the shutdown might linger for 30 days or more . The shutdown is a economic wrecker, and a total expose of a failed Government system. Now Trump like Biden has gone AWOL flying around doing and signing fancy Peace agreements between nations . But at the helm is a wrecked White House, and a Defunct Congress of Clowns . 

East Wing Demolition Team.

Now the East Wing Demolition, the Ballroom is perhaps the biggest political blunder on Trump.I think it’s a weird thing to do amidst a government shutdown.: so I gather the project is apparently privately funded and done by contractors; can you really use private funds to modify a publicly owned building? The White House still belongs to the country right? And I question why you wouldn’t postpone the project until the government is back up and running. I heard from an architect that it would be the most expensive ballroom built at dollars per square feet. so expensive it’s unbelievable that it would actually cost that much. plus to accommodate 999 people it would have to be about 2-3 times bigger that what the mock up shows. so even though this source is suspect, there’s no way that what he has shown is anywhere close to real. The BIGGEST question ⁉️ do was as a nation really need a new Ballroom addition to the White House? Yeah, that photo of the White House looking half torn down is like the perfect image of to sum up Trump's effect on the country. Nothing but destruction of tradition, all in service of one man's ego and bank account. It's not even the cost. It's that as of Aug. 10, he hadn't even submitted any plans to the National Capitol Planning Commission for review and approval of this project, as required by federal law. If it's anything like Trump's Atlantic City ventures, he'll wait until it's completed and tell the contractors that they did a terrible job so he's going to pay them pennies on the dollar, and if they try to take him to court he'll declare bankruptcy. Then when they walk away he'll tell everyone how "the art of the deal" saved us all a bunch of money.  Are you telling me any president/first lady can make any changes they want to the WH without any oversight? What if his "design" isn't structurally sound? What if it causes flooding in the area? What if the demolition includes asbestos and lead (which allegedly it does)? There are people working at the WH and directly across the street. Insane given the stated goal at the start of this whole administration to cut costs. Instead, we have our tax money spent on a $200 million dollar ballroom? Not mention the billions being given to Argentina and all of the other wasteful spending going on (those 2 luxury private jets, for example).It would take years to build this abomination, anyhow. Trump will be long gone from office one way or another before this thing ever sees a single state event. So either funnel more tax dollars into this infinite hole for a decade to come cause this shit is built cheap as fuck or tear it down again and restore the East Wing, which will be even more expensive. It will effectively be a construction ruin and money sink for a generation to come. Between all of that and the obvious corruption around crypto, gifts from foreign countries and business deals for his family and this… thing… going viral around the World: TRUMP DEMOLISHED THE WHITE HOUSE.

Time to INVADE VENEZUELA, and Loose 🤣!!! 

As The Lame Duck 🦆 CONGRESS remains to keep the GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN going. Remind me again about how Trump was the Anti-War Candidate? There is a lot of static that Trump is going full regime change war with Venezuela. So far , the State Department has gathered American aircraft carriers near Venezuela. With wars in Ukraine, Palestine, and Taiwan either happening already or about to start with US personnel in the firing line Trump would be well advised to stop murdering South American fishermen it’s not so much that Trump’s boasting about US influence and ability to act with impunity is the action that China will respond to by strengthening its relationships with South American countries including Columbia, Venezuela and other nations, China will jump at the opportunity to move-in creating friendships with South America as the United States creates enmity for itself in the region .Maduro offered Trump a dominant stake in Venezuela’s oil, gold, and mineral wealth & agreed to cut ties with Russia and China. Trump declined and just sent 10,000+ troops and 10% of the entire U.S. Navy to the region. 

WAR With Venezuela (and possibly Colombia) may be MAGAs true undoing.

Trump admin. seems to be determined to remove Venezuela's leader from power. I do... agree, in principle, that he is a dictator running the country into the ground and that he should probably be removed from power, but does that mean we should declare war on Venezuela or try and tease our way into one with them and potentially Colombia as their ally? Well, I always like to start with the facts, in order of their relevance to us as Americans when I can:Fact: Venezuela isn't some distant, nebulous place. Its a 3 hour plane ride from Florida. It is in our backyard.Fact: Venezuela's capitol city is virtually inaccessible from the ground. It is surrounded by difficult, mountainous terrain and tunnels/bridges can simply be blocked/defended/destroyed. Fact: 5 million people live in Venezuela's capitol, and while you can bomb it from the air, refer to the prior fact when assessing the cost/reality of getting food and other aid to the people that live there after the US potentially attacks. Fact: The American people, overwhelmingly, hate the idea of another war fought this way and more broadly, they completely reject prior US missions that involved "regime change" and "nation building." (Cite Iraq, Vietnam, etc.)Not completely irrelevant is the fact that the optics of the Israel/Gaza conflict were so bad for Trump admin, even conservative leaning pollsters report Trump lost up to half of his support from conservatives under age 50 on that one issue alone. It is hard for me to see how Trump/MAGA can "win those people back" by starting a war with Venezuela. The optics really don't work on the issue to me as a centrist in that Venezuela is this sort of small, weak country and the US sort of "lowers itself" to a hot conflict with them over (narrative wise) fentanyl.

Venezuela War !? Lots of Questions ❓ 

My summary view is that fentanyl (the substances to make it) originate primarily in China. If the goal is to stop fentanyl moving into the US, it seems you'd target China with severe sanctions and retaliatory tariffs until those stopped being shipped out... I cannot find any reliable research to point to Venezuela being a significant source of illegal drugs that end up in the US today, it seems the US has been "interrupting" shipments like that from Venezuela a long time now (in other words, we have known the country is run by cartels a long time, and we already seize most of what comes here from there at ports today, which is little to nothing at all at this point). As others have said, I can’t imagine this making any difference. A million things have happened already that were “supposed” to be disqualifying or red lines that people would find unacceptable. Instead everyone just complains, shrugs or cheers. It’s sad to watch American exceptionalism just fade away like this, but the reality is it turns out we’re just like any other country during an authoritarian takeover, despite all our fancy talk about the Constitution and 2A. Now fentanyl has nothing to do with Venezuela and it’s clearly just a bullshit argument by the Trump admin. But you’re talking about people that somehow got elected on “the economy” while clearly saying they were going to send us into a recession (tariffs and deportations) so there’s no reason to think voters are capable of understanding this issue any better. >What are the potential risks of escalating U.S. military involvement in Venezuela? Do y’all support military involvement against Venezuela? Would love to hear y’all’s thoughts. If this happens it would be a political disaster for Trump. A large part of Trump voters believed in "No new wars" and this would be a new war. It would be a disaster geopolitically as well. An America distracted by a war in Venezuela is an America less able to defend Europe from Russia or Taiwan from China. Attacking Venezuela has no benefit to the United States, and only cements the perception that America is an imperial power. We've worked decades to remediate relations with South American countries from our boondoggles there in the past, and now we will have to again.

Government Shutdown. Last Days of America!?

Is this how it starts? Is this how they collapse the US from within? It would be the perfect storm - starting in the winter with the non-renewal of SNAP. I don't think people understand just how many this will effect. The two friends I do know that work government jobs have not been paid in weeks. Many politicians are smart, but they dumb themselves down for their constituents to appease them. What’s scary to me is when Americans embrace a Salem witch hunt mob like mentality that is devoid of logic, reason, and empathy. When angry Americans go into zombie mode it’s like night of the living dead or a zombie apocalypse. Trump is like MAGA’s pied piper. He can trigger them at will.  They are running on savings and eating the bare minimum day to day because they have no idea what is going to happen. If no deal, they'll sign the clean CR by Nov 15 which only funds the government till Nov 21. The government will open for a week to get the people backpay and then they shut it down again during Thanksgiving and Christmas to cause travel chaos. This provides maximum leverage for negotiations. This is a reality for so many people and honestly it would just be the perfect catalyst if they let this keep going. I am sure you have seen videos of some national parks - people aren't even showing up for work - and people are just driving straight in. I am sick of mundane conversation with people in my daily life. I don't give two fucks about an album from TSwift. Who cares about the beef with such and such. We are nearly 40 trillion in DEBT with this country. It isn't going anywhere. We have ICE acting as a gestapo with no consequence to what they're doing. What are we doing here. It's all fucked and people just want to get high and go out and party. This shutdown doesn't feel like the others not even Trump's last one. As chaotic and long as that was. There is the same confusion, same lack of details but this time there seems to be a worry with a hint of panic coming from higher ups where it's usually a positive confidence. “I know this sucks, but we'll get through it and we have a mission to do” has been replaced with “I don't know any more than you. I'll let you know, when I know. We’ll see what happens” It gives me the impression that they do know more and it's not good. Then there is the obvious- who's running it. (motherfucking Russel Vought) The seemingly Freudian slips from Trump and others. Putting the house on leave. Talking about layoffs and that they are calling it a layoff and not a RIF.  I guess that is just a cope. This just proves that it does not belong to humans to direct their own steps. It is so irresponsible. The democrats do not care about the American people. Th eir Greed has consumed them. SOON THE EARTHLY GOVERNMENT WILL FALL More power to them.

GAZA Post BIBLICAL TRUMP.

 
I wish PEACE ✌️ 🕊️ Were REAL
but there is a Snake 🐍 
in the whole Process.

Miracles do happen, but for American President Donald J Trump paying off Bibi Natanyahu to get a cease -fire after two years of dropping bombs on buildings , killing civilians, and  beyond the scope of " fighting Hamas" . There seems to be hope for a " ceasefire".  A new deal is on the table. Not a ceasefire, but maybe the start of one—and at this point, it’s hard to refuse. The Palestinian side has already signaled yes. The U.S. is pushing. Even Israel’s own murderous security chiefs are begging their war criminal (take it with the Hague) Netanyahu to pause. But let me be clear: I don’t trust Israel or its so-called deals—they’ve broken every promise before in two days 300 have already been killed. Gaza is not just tired—it is starving, displaced, and bombarded without end. Any step, however flawed, could be the fragile lifeline the survivors need to keep breathing.  FOR TRUMP it's BIBLICAL. [ TRUMP wants to be seen as the peace maker, prophet sent by God as most Christian Evangelicals believe.] Curious about this one... my suspicion is it would only win over the more Trumpian types if anything, but I do wonder if something like this would affect bigger picture approval ratings or if Americans see what's going on in this country and it doesn't move the needle much if at all... Also just to be clear I do hope this deal actually holds and the violence in the middle east can end, but I was wondering how this plays into stuff like our politics here. Now if the democrats messaging as well as their actual stance on the issue still has to change. AIPAC endorsements or general handwashing of this genocide could become the kiss of death for people in primaries. Whatever Netanyahu’s true reason may be, perhaps the bottom line remains: this summit, coordinated by Donald Trump with world leaders, is a way of signaling to Israel that Gaza is no longer under its sole authority. Maybe it’s just the cynic in me, but Netanyahu is probably more concerned with making deals at home to keep himself out of prison than he is in shaking hands with a few leaders. The war is over – as Trump keeps saying – and now others will take charge. On the other hand Americans have such Goldfish brains that they’ll just forget it . Is it time to accept that peace - real peace - is never going to happen with Israel-Palestine? In Gaza and the West Bank there are also celebrations, as up to 2,000 Palestinian detainees start to be released – though there is distress, too, due to uncertainty about who is being freed and where they will be sent. In northern Gaza, people can finally return to dig through rubble for the remains of an estimated 10,000 missing people. I know it's a central tenet of enlightened western thinking that anything can be solved with diplomacy, understanding each other and working out a mutually beneficial agreement. Within just a few hours of Israel receiving its captives the IDF has killed a Gazan man in Khan Younis and there is footage of three tanks firing on children. Imagine the hysteria if just one Israeli had been killed this afternoon. And yet western media is silent on Israel breaking the ceasefire in less than a day.But it's been ~90 years. In comparison to other long-running conflicts Israel/Palestine has had an unparalled amount of attention and diplomatic effort towards a solution, yet none has been made to work. Because the fundamental wishes of the two groups involved are incompatible; the problem is intractable. That saying about the definition of insanity would seem to apply.It would be interesting if pro-Palestinian voters just fall in line now even though the Democrats (especially Biden) did nothing to alleviate the situation in 2023/2024 and paid dearly for it. The reality is that Israel basically cashed out all the good will they had or at least the lack of knowledge/opinion that people have with the issue. I don’t know if Israel could even reclaim like 30% of the goodwill they once had. The fight for the hostages and the calamity in Gaza are two sides of the war’s coin. That will remain the case in the days to come. But as time goes on, more and more focus will probably shift to Gaza, its rehabilitation, and the truth that lies beneath all the rubble.

US TROOPS in Israel and Gaza.

The best assumption to make is that Gaza is riddled with unexploded Israeli ordnance, IED's and booby traps set by Hamas. Not to mention building shells that can and will collapse at any moment. The idea that any nation will send its "peace keeping troops" into that hellhole is whimsical. So is any thought of rebuilding until such clearance is achieved. Lots of joyous photos of Israeli’s celebrating. Cut to, one or two photos of wafer thin Palestinians searching through the rubble for their tens of thousands of dead loved ones. No houses, no hospitals or schools, no running water, no power. And yet there are still people, above and below the line, asking why aren’t they more grateful. This was a new shiny thing for Trump, and an albatross around the neck of Netanyahu, who pawned his troubles off on the international community. Hamas, which was given an ultimatum to accept the deal or not, is absolutely not disarming and are retrenching. Israel, having completely destabilized Gaza will now be able to point the finger at others if the situation sours, while promising to do absolutely nothing to materially change the situation. As usual-the Palestinians are treated as completely undeserving of any input into their disposition. Hard to see how this changes anything in the long term. I give it 2 years before everyone gets bored and tired of trying to convince the Palestinians to accept peace in the absence of a two state solution while Israel continues their illegal land grab in the West Bank, and squeezes Gaza as they have done for a decade.

Who WILL REBUILD GAZA? 

And who will be responsible for rebuilding Gaza? THE AMERICAN TAX PAYERS? It is estimated that it will take $53 billion to rebuild Gaza. Israel, Europe, and the United States don't seem to be interested in footing this bill. I also have not seen any of the Arab states agreeing to commit billions of dollars to rebuild Gaza, and this assumes the money doesn't get stolen. It seems like Egypt should have found a way to cut the cost in half. So the question is who will pay to rebuild Gaza. In the few minutes I could bear watching Trump in the Knesset - e.g. stressing about the fact that Witkoff is a real estate trader who "didn’t know too much about politics, wasn’t that interested" - I actually heard him boast about all the US weaponry that has made Israel strong and that Israel has "used very effectively", i.e. laying waste to Gaza. Trump cannot be trusted — his “plans” for Gaza are nothing but schemes for displacement and occupation. He talks about “peace” while plotting to uproot its people and hand their land to Israel for his own gain. He’s back at the same nonsense today . Despite all the footage we've seen over the past two years, I was shocked to see this BBC Verify feature about wanton destruction that has nothing to do with eliminating Hamas. Talking of footage ... But as the TV presenters and panelists persisted with the good news theme, you could not help but notice the other footage. It's a shame that Israeli TV has given its audience a minimum of exposure to the murderous and criminal horrors its government and armed forces have unleashed on Gaza. A majority of Israelis say that they do not trust the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a poll aired Friday on Channel 12, with most of the public also opposed to policy on the hostages and disapproving of the budget passed this week. So now when the war is over and Hamas will be replaced with peaceful civilian government, will Israel join other countries in Gaza reconstruction? I mean, since Israel is the one who destroyed 83 percent of Gaza infrastructure. Some deliberate some by accident ("oopsie") Pro-Israeli side often makes comparison with other wars to justify destruction and killings, like American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or Russian in Ukraine. But those countries helped rebuild destroyed afterwards- Americans helped Iraq and Afghanistan and even Russia rebuilt cities like Mariupol for example. They say their fight was against Hamas, they want also to free Gazans from Hamas so I guess they will be happy to participate and share the financial burden. If Israels desire is to create lasting peace and a connection with the Palestinian people that would help to mitigate extremist Islamic influence, then yes. Israel should be generous to the people of Gaza dispite the long history of hatred and Islamist violence. Israel has no obligation to fund the reconstruction, but if they wish for a better relationship, that is exactly what they should do. Um Israel didn’t pull out of Gaza? They’ve literally been killing them as recently as 2022. Israel’s the bigger culprit here. They occupied Gaza until 2005, then locked it down with a blockade that’s kept most people on aid. Literally seen a vid of IDF using Palestinians as human shields couples days ago amongst their many war crimes. as well they’ve been caught dressing detainees in uniforms for tunnel sweeps which was banned by their own courts in 2005 yet they keep doing it. Hamas sucks but Israel’s control and these tactics are the root of the misery. Japan got aid to rebuild, Gaza gets rubble and restrictions. 

AMERICAN TAXPAYERS WILL PAY FOR GAZA REBUILD. HERE IS WHY.

The United States, under the Biden and Trump administrations, has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the war on Gaza two years ago, that being said... If you look at how Hamas came to power in the first place there were a very specific set of circumstances and contributing factors that no longer exist. A sweeping plan to reconstruct Gaza, which has been shared with Trump administration officials, features the names and logos of more than two dozen companies like In the presentation, logos from Tesla, Amazon Web Services, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) appear alongside bullet points about the benefit "private industry investment” may have in Gaza in terms of building out "key infrastructure" like data centers and "gigafactories." On one slide, the logos of several companies, including Ikea, appear alongside descriptions of large-scale "infrastructure rebuild" and "peacekeeping (optional)" in Gaza. They represented a populist approach to solving an existential threat which was a perception of the failure of the Oslo accords, which won many Palestinians over (as populist candidates generally tend to do).The Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs—which has long been the premier source for statistics on the human and economic costs of ongoing U.S.-led post-9/11 wars and militarism in the Middle East and beyond—called the $22.76 billion estimate “conservative.” “This figure includes the $17.9 billion the U.S. government has approved in security assistance for Israeli military operations in Gaza and elsewhere since Oct. 7—substantially more than in any other year since the U.S. began granting military aid to Israel in 1959,” report authors Linda Bilmes, William Hartung and Stephen Semler wrote. Yet the report describes how this is only a partial amount of the U.S. financial support provided during this war. In addition to the repeated multibillion-dollar rounds of military aid to Israel, related U.S. operations in the region, particularly bombing and shipping defense in and near Yemen—where Houthi rebels have attacked maritime commerce and launched missiles at Israel—have cost over $2 billion since October 2023. In the last two years, the U.S. sent nearly 18 billion dollars to Israel for its war on Gaza. Most of that (12 billion) came from Trump in 2025. That money didn’t go to rebuild roads in Kentucky or reopen hospitals in Texas. It didn’t help people struggling with rent or medical bills. It paid for bombs. It paid for missiles that killed thousands of kids. That is not a guess. That is confirmed. And while all that money flew overseas, Trump added over 8 TRILLION DOLLARS to the national debt. This war was part of the tab. They called it support for an ally. But no one asked us. Israel is armed to the teeth. There was no threat to us. No debate. Trump rushed the money. Biden followed with another six billion. Both parties signed off like it was nothing. When it was Ukraine, at least people talked about it. With Israel, silence. This is not America First. It is not putting the country or its people first. It is sending billions to someone else’s war while our own people are being left behind. And everyone should be asking why. “It has been difficult for the U.S. public, journalists, and members of Congress to get an accurate understanding of the amount of military equipment and financial assistance that the U.S. government has provided to Israel’s military during the past year of war,” the report states. “There is likewise little U.S. public awareness of the costs of the United States military’s own related operations in the region, particularly in and around Yemen.” This war however has proven that they are not the way... we are now seeing huge anti Hamas protests in Gaza. People are fed up with the violence. There is a real opportunity for a more moderate government system to rise from the ashes. So long as Israel and the United States don't try and annex Gaza and instead hand it over to a coalition of third-party states or the UN establish an interim government and gradually facilitate a transition to a democratically elected government...There is a chance for something good to come. 

Government Shutdown and WAR!!

We have had so many Government 
Shutdowns in the last decade, that 
Congress must come to the 
Realization that America is
broke.

WHAT a terrible 😞 Mix . A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN and impending WARS ( Israel, Iran , Ukraine, Russia, Venezuela, and Taiwan) hold the seat of your PANTS 🩳. Regardless of how it ends, Schumer's leadership ability during this budget negotiation has been awful and Democrats need to change Senate minority leadership.🔥🔥🔥The U.S. government is heading toward shutdown — but this isn’t chaos, it’s sabotage. They're gonna shut down the government while also going to war with Iran at the same time. MIGAkeks, prepare for your ultimate fell for it again award. While the globalists bleed the system dry, Trump stands alone, blocking the blackmail and defending real Americans. let me help you.... Every government shutdown is engineered. Both parties are guilty. Republicans borrow recklessly and pretend tariffs or efficiency "savings" will square the books. Democrats demand still more entitlements, paid for with money we don't have. They use brinkmanship as a distraction, turning the most basic government housekeeping into hostage drama. They know what they have to do. they are just refusing to do it and hold everyone hostage in the process... this should be treason. It really is too early. People are unlikely to remember this in a year in the run up to the midterms. It is almost worth pushing this can to right after summer next year for it be the most impactful. Just before this whole fiasco started, it appeared as though he was about to back down on the wall, at which point an immediate and severe backlash from his group of supporters ensued. Almost immediately DJT decided it was time to fight for the bitter end for his wall, instead of backing down as he seemingly had been preparing to do. But in reality, shutdowns are just noisy political theater. Every dollar we borrow today piles new burdens onto tomorrow’s taxpayers and inches us closer to a full-blown fiscal crisis. The shutdown fight may grab media attention, but the real crisis is what’s happening when government is open for business.They rarely cut government spending, they don’t rein in the debt, and they don’t force lawmakers to make the tough choices our nation desperately needs.

War AS A GOOD DISTRACTION during A Government Shutdown.

The federal government just accumulated an additional $2 trillion in debt over the last 12 months. That's the kind of debt surge America usually racks up in wartime or during major national emergencies. For most of the world, a government shutdown is very bad news - the result of revolution, invasion or disaster. But in the US, it has become a kind of bargaining tool for political leaders - and a perennial phenomenon. For several decades, the federal budget process has become increasingly dysfunctional. This breakdown may be traced to the post-Watergate budget reforms enacted in 1974, which shifted power away from the President and to the Congress. Most budget experts from both parties agree that the reforms made the budget process weaker, less predictable, less capable of reconciling competing demands, and more prone to fiscal crises. Prior to 1974, the federal government had never ceased operations for lack of funding. Since then, it has “shut down” 22 times, completely or partially. There have been only four years in which Congress passed its annual appropriations bills on time, and a series of near-defaults and other fiscal crises. In the absence of reliable budgets, Congress has enacted hundreds of short-term stopgap “continuing resolutions” to pay the bills. In this context, it was convenient for all the stakeholders to fund the wars as an "emergency” outside the regular process. The Trump administration sent $230 million to Lebanon in a last-minute action to save the funds from expiring during a government shutdown, assistance that helps protect a fragile ceasefire between Beirut and Israel. The Pentagon has decided to EXEMPT Ukraine operations from a potential government shutdown if lawmakers fail to reach a deal by the end of the month. This means tens of billions will continue flowing into Ukraine regardless. Why is that even legal? One party chose to waste weeks of time that could’ve been used to negotiate by sending Congress into an early recess to avoid an embarrassing vote. Said party also told its members to avoid all negotiating with the other until about 2 days ago. I think that party has more blame than anything. The Republicans refusal to do anything with Democrats is the main cause of this. Yes the Democrats aren't signing off on the Republican bill which is "blocking" it from passing but when the Republicans cancel their meeting with Dems and literally say fuck them and won't compromise on anything why would Dems just sign off on what Republicans propose? Republicans ram through anything that they can and they just can't on this one thing. This is just theater.  I’ve been following Middle East politics since I was a kid. I have lifelong friends from Lebanon and Iran. My views are unapologetically anti-capitalist and anti-oppression. I don’t back any state, but I care deeply about people, culture, and working-class struggles. So here’s the blunt version: You’re being bombarded with misinformed, misleading, or outright manipulative coverage. The chance of accurate information reaching anyone outside already-locked-in circles is near zero. Right now, the sudden escalation around Iran is a classic Israeli distraction. The goal is to derail Western focus from the starvation campaign in Gaza and protect the ongoing U.S. arms pipeline.  sam-squared The sad truth is the US government will continue to do nothing to aid those suffering in Gaza, no matter how strong the public pressure. The current administration is too cocky and incompetent to do anything based on public opinion. On top of this, taking European hostages isn’t a great look for Israel, but for the most part, they’ve highly publicized how quickly and humanely they’ve returned said prisoners i.e., Greta Thunberg. And you can bet your bottom dollar that Israelis themselves have NO problem with this on the whole. Given that, I can see a world where maybe a public opinion shift factors into the the reason they bombed Iran last night…. but there is just no evidence right now to support it being the MAIN reason when we have much stronger evidence pointing in other directions. Namely that the US was positioned to sign a nuclear deal with Iran. That Iran was close to completing their nuclear weapon. That Netanyahu has absolutely gotten a big head over how the Gaza genocide has been going and has aims beyond the borders of Israel. Israel arrests, processes and releases westerners in situations like this, just like most countries do. Yes, things can get dangerous. Escalation is always a risk. But the timing of this isn’t about danger. The Iran nuclear issue is real, but there's nothing new that justifies this sudden flare-up. It's manufactured urgency.  RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WAR ✖️ .The next 20 year war based on lies is around the corner. By the time anyone realizes what's really going on they'll be asking "didn't we hear the same quagmires during Vietnam and GWOT?" There were 3 government shutdowns during his last term. Are we supposed to be in 1 60 year war right now or 3 20 year wars based on this information. Meanwhile: War Minister Hegseth, the USA is fighting the last battle. Tonight the shutdown begins because salaries can no longer be paid and, like every declining empire, war is supposed to be the last resort.
