Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, October 16, 2025

Local and state leaders say they were given virtually no notice, coordination, or transparency.

California Governor Gavin Newsom took to X to slam the Trump administration, saying, "Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military. PUT ASIDE YOUR VANITY PARADE AND PAY OUR TROOPS INSTEAD."

Camp Pendleton is located in northern San Diego and is a very beautiful location along the pacific coast.

But there's not much out there, mainly just the I-5 and acres of federal land.

I don't see how having a military parade there would interfere with protests. (Unless someone from San Diego was planning on driving up to Orange County or Los Angeles to join a protest. Or vice versa.)

I mean. I could be missing the big picture. Seems more like an attempt at distracting from the protests rather than interfering with them.

I'm sure our rightwing controlled media will focus on the parade and largely ignore the protests.

I see some TFRs but they expire Friday afternoon. I'll let you know if more show up.

Off the coast of SoCal down to Bjaja, there is a Danger Area, which is probably what they are talking about, but you can't see it from the beach.
I do now earlier this week there was an exercise off the BigSur coast where we lost a Hawkerhunter.

Makes sense.

Your article clearly states it couldn't verify it.

If course you can, it's where the jarheads set up their urban warfare site, and ships and choppers and VTOLs do their business regularly. You really are a ------- clown.

trying to turn 'immigrant' into a slur..

Who else is an immigrant here?

Clown? Isn't he from Iran? That's his heritage but I don't know if he immigrated here or was born here.

I suppose I can call him "the immigrant from Iran".

Who can hold their tongue and resist calling me a racist?

Eb's you're not a Racist, you're a -----.

And a Liar.

You claim to be a Liberal Democrat.

Everything you post is like that -----, Stephen Miller.

Any pushback from Real Americans against Trump's Usurping Authoritarianism is always framed as evil or somehow "intolerant".

Just Man up and admit ya Love the Guy.

Believe me, you'd get more respect around here if you did.

-You claim to be a Liberal Democrat.

No I don't. Look who's lying.

I side with democrats on most issues.

Issues......not individuals.

I'm a registered republican so I can vote in republican primaries. Those are the only elections that actually select my representation.

I won't lie on my userpage and say I'm a democrat when I'm an actual registered republican. It's so I can choose the eventual republican who's likely going to win the general election anyway.

It's not because I subscribe to the platform of the GOP.

If we moved to a blue district/state.....I'd reverse my party affiliation immediately.

now.....back to you.

You're an antisemite little twerp.

I don't want your respect, antisemite racist. Why in the world would I want your respect?

I'm coming up on 20 years here. I've made my bed here and it isn't changing.

I play devils advocate on purpose because it's more interesting that way for me.

morons like you can't play that game. It's always going to be my side vs your side --------.

I don't care about sides here. If I wanted to make my life easier here I would just tell you all I'm now a registered democrat and start agreeing with the left on everything.

Get lots and lots of newsworthy flags and everything. Make fun of Boaz, Shrimp, etc......type "Pedo" 1,000 times a day. Yay!!!!

No ------- chance I would sell my soul. I don't disagree with the left.....hell, even YOU make some rational points about some issues.

You understand that nobody is going to help you if you want to tangle with me. You'll be all alone. The left here hates you.

Thank you, Alex.

The last republican I voted for president was GWB in 2000.

Now, do I have friendly relationships with members of the GOP? My senators and congressman? Hell yes....they're MY representation. I sit on boards and work in an industry that gives me access to these folks.

I'm a pragmatist.

I also support my governor, a democrat. She's MY governor.

#23 | Posted by eberly at 2025-10-17 10:57 AM | Reply

Tangle with you? Please.

You don't even have the courage to be who you are.

You make lame excuses for clearly totalitarian behavior. Calling it "devil's advocate".

I call it Lying Coward.

I Own my Hatred of Israel, they Earned it with their Conduct, not their Religion.

If they changed their behavior, my attitude would change as Well.

Good luck Eberly, I hope you wake up.

calling someone a "chinese immigrant" should be just fine with chinese immigrants?

You should just let it go......and maybe not do it again.

Oneiron will let it go. I'll let it go.

But if you keep crying like this you'll get everyone's attention.

again, maybe not do that.

Even Donner thinks it's racially derogatory. It's why he tried to deflect to the supreme court.

I'm trying to decide if that is more weird or more pathetic... how about weirdly pathetic.

Saying that someone is a Mexican immigrant or a
French immigrant or a Chinese immigrant is in no way a racial slur anywhere anytime any place... other than in your head.

"Saying that someone is a Mexican immigrant or a

Good. Because that's not what you are doing.

You aren't simply "saying someone is a .....immigrant" as though it's some sort of polite acknowledgement of their heritage. You're doing the opposite.

You are referring to them as a Chinese immigrant in an argument to put them down.

"Who do believe? this person....or the Chinese immigrant?" You put that person down specifically because they are a Chinese immigrant. You placed them below someone who's not a Chinese immigrant because you hold the Chinese immigrant in contempt. For simply being a Chinese immigrant.

Is it individual, or group disdain?

Projecting your own thoughts onto someone else... well, it says more then you than it does someone else.

What it says to me is that you are desperate to hit back at me for pointing out that you use these threads not for discussing issues, or even promoting your opinions on issues, but for tryin' to own you some libs.

When you could be supporting people like the Lincoln Project, you are a quisling for Trump by attacking his critics; preferring to deal in personalities rather than issues... because hey, your Republican Party is on the wrong side of almost every issue.

Corky, did you think you were responding to me in 33?

And did you mean "it says more about you than it does someone else"?

I called you out for a racial slur. Which it was.

You could have just apologized and moved on. Afterall, the target of the racial slur said it was a racial slur.

But toooooo much pride.

You think it counts for something here.

Notice a lot of folks could have helped you out here. Folks who disagree with Oneiron everyday and would come to your rescue if they thought you weren't in the wrong.

But look at the bright side.......Effeteantisemite came to your side.

How does that saying go?..... With friends like this, who needs enemies?

Anyway....have a good weekend.
