Notably: It’s been odd. Israel launched yet another major war, this one as insane as the previous one was genocidal, but the American press, and certainly the American public, is shrugging it off, as if Israeli war were like, say, just another mass shooting. Minus the need for thoughts and prayers (for whom?). Move along. Nothing to see. I imagine the majority of people think bombing Iran is no different than how Israel bombs Syria, Palestine and Lebanon the way most Americans like to snack before lunch, and with the American military firing missiles and dropping bombs in too many Middle Eastern and African Horn countries to count, it’s all part of the American decor now, a bit of noise, a bit of smoke. It’s all a joke to Americans anyway. You remember John McCain, that warmonger too often lionized for surviving a war emblematic of his country’s marches of folly, in Barbara Tuchman’s phrase, even when accounting for his honorable decision not to take the easy way out of the Hanoi Hilton when he had a chance. You remember that question a moron asked McCain at a town hall in 2007, we were losing Iraq and George W. Bush was losing the country and Israel was itching to bomb Iran but Bush wouldn’t let it. “When do we send them an airmail message to Tehran?” the moron asked McCain. Who would have thought that McCain would out-moron him: “You know that old Beach Boys song? Bomb Iran? Bomb bomb bomb…” Ha ha. He wasn’t kidding.

Skating. Ice that has not yet been skated on. Indistinguishable from water – treachery – one would think one was gliding on the water itself – the sun illuminating the ice, which acts as a mirror – and one sees oneself in it – so that, by the speed and the inclination of the body, by turning combined, I seemed to be lying in the void and looking at myself very closely, leaning over this reflection, like Narcissus.
–From André Gide’s Journal, undated, around 1898.

Funny….. TRUMP tried many time to stop the fighting, in Gaza. Some folks are slow learners. Trump gave Iran 60 days to make a deal, They decided to give him the Middle finger….After almost 50 years of opression, & murder the Middle East, the chants death to America & death to Israel have stopped. Now as Israel destroys Iran, quite impressivly too, Trump just sits on the sidelines ready willing & able to asist. Trump helped withe the balistic missles, attacking Israel but thats pretty much it. Iran & all its might folded like a cheap suit. BEBE, wiped out most of the nuke sites, more than 3/4 of thier airforce. Israeles, own the air space in Iran, thier cities are in taters, destrction everywhere. Now Iran wants to talk….. The talking will not take place, til every bit of nuclear spaces are destroyed. There will be no more Iran, no more terror strikes…. Let the people, whove been slaves to the regine, have at it. With the help of the USA, & many Middle East countries a new Persia will stand, bringing peace & stability to this part of the world. Funny….TRUMP was right again, Peace through strenth. God bless America & God bless President Trump!

AI Obituary Pirates Are Exploiting Our Grief. I Tracked One Down to Find Out Why
After the death of my sister, I was pulled into the troubling world of AI-written obituaries. This is what I learned about grief, scams and the people behind the words.

Crazy how time changes. So is Iran the good guy now? It’s certainly not Israel and their murikkkan backed genocide. Haha don’t worry an orange conman has the nuclear codes !

Dennis, what a huge pile of smelly crap you spouted! Remember the previous DEAL with Iran that Trump infamously tore up only because it had Barack Obama’s name attached to it? Now he is way behind the eight ball as Iranian nuclear enrichment is even closer to having nuclear bombs to threaten Israel and other western nations because that previous deal the idiot in the WH shot down resulted in all of the inspectors who were going to be allowed access in order to monitor Iran’s nuclear program for compliance to only peaceful purposes being refused entry to the entire country! That was years ago and since then Iran has dramatically escalated their nuclear enrichment efforts.
It was his same philosophy with the NAFTA trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico that the idiot tore up during his first occupancy in the WH. Then he turned around and made the same deal that all of his sheeple thought was suddenly like a gift from heaven just because it was drumph that signed the deal instead of a democrat president. It proves that Drumph only likes “deals” with his name attached to them.
