Beethoven, a fan of Gioachino Antonio Rossini, contributed music for an opera only once, something I attributed to the Immortal Maestro's vexing tinnitus.

Hi Hamburglar

You said it.

Itamar Ben Gvir is Jeffrey Dahmer under a kippah.

The Likudniks want to hang the young Palestinians rather than shoot, electrocute, or poison them in order to ensure their internal organs aren't damaged.

As Muslims, the executed Palestinians wouldn't have partaken of pork, making them, ahem, "kosher."

*** The Irish Lead the Way: Footballers Urge Boycott of Israeli Team ***

"Leading Irish footballers have joined celebrities in a campaign urging the Republic of Ireland to boycott a UEFA Nations League match against Israel later this year.

An open letter sent to the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) from campaign group Irish Sport for Palestine accuses Israel of engaging in genocide in the war in Gaza and of breaching UEFA and FIFA statutes by allowing teams to play on occupied Palestinian land."

~snip~

In addition, several EU countries don't want Israel participating in Eurovision competitions and have threatened a boycott for the same reasons.

How Russia is correctly sanctioned from UEFA and Eurovision, but Israel is not is anyone's guess. Both countries have killed thousands and thousands and thousands of people.

*** IDF Orders More Evacuations in Southern Lebanon ***

"IDF strikes on Lebanon killed at least 22 people and wounded dozens of others in various attacks across the country.

The Israeli military called on residents of more than half a dozen villages in southern Lebanon to immediately evacuate on Saturday ahead of expected attacks against Hezbollah despite a truce with Lebanon intended to halt the fighting."

~snip~

Expect more looting and desecrations against Christianity.

The IDF is the best recruitment tool Lebanese Hezbollah or any resistance movement in the Middle East ever had.

*** Cuba Calls Out USSECSTATE Marco "Empty Suit" Rubio Over Blatant Lies ***

Cuba FM Bruno Rodrguez Parrilla:

"Aware that he needs to lie to justify his criminal assault against the Cuban people, the US Secretary of State fabricates the fable of an alleged offer of aid valued at 100 or more million dollars, seeking to deceive the people of Cuba and the American people themselves."

And the miscreant kicks her while she is suffering on the ground.

What an absolute dirtbag.

Are you sure you weren't the lyricist for your band, AU?

The phony Democrats (AKA AIPAC-ers or corporation protectors) will argue AOC isn't "mainstream" enough to win higher office.

The rightwing will bleat "Hah! This is why you Democrats always lose! Dems have to pick someone centrist" (AKA a milquetoast corporate candidate who will maintain the decrepit status quo).

Republican House Leader Mike Johnson fully expected Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to denounce NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) last year.

Hakeem Jeffries didn't, but finally endorsed his fellow Democrat just before Election Day.

US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-Israel) didn't endorse fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani and probably voted for Andrew "AIPAC" Cuomo on Election Day.

In 2025 US Senator John Fetterman (D-Israel) kept sliming the Muslim candidate, his fellow Democrat.

Recall what happened to US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during his presidential campaign in 2016.

All of this is what AOC will face, on top of her being a Latina.
