Over the weekend, the murderous IDF liquidated 40 people in southern Lebanon and conducted large-scale demolitions; in Gaza an IDF drone killed an unarmed teenager named Riyad Naji Abu Nimer (15).

Hi Clownshack:

Thanks for this critical info about young James Talarico (D).

I was blocked from a certain website, but nevertheless I was able to extract this bit of data from them:

"Texas Sands PAC, a Texas Committee, has $5,807,963 in cash on hand.
The PAC has received a total of $9,122,500 in contributions.
Total expenditures for Texas Sands PAC amount to $3,730,790.
The largest contributor to Texas Sands PAC is Dr. Miriam Adelson, who contributed $9,100,000.
Las Vegas Sands Corporation contributed $22,500 to Texas Sands PAC.
John R. Huffman is the largest payee, receiving $1,200,000 in expenditures from the PAC.
Ragnar Research Partners LLC received $291,400 in expenditures from the PAC.
There is no loan data available for Texas Sands PAC."

Two adages now come to mind after reading your comments:

1) "Follow the money"; 2) "Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing."

"Under this settlement, the Sackler family will pay up to $6.5 billion over 15 years, and Purdue Pharma will contribute an additional $900 million upon court approval of its bankruptcy. Up to $250 million of the settlement will be directed towards opioid treatment, prevention, and recovery programs in New York.

As part of the settlement, the Sackler family is permanently banned from ever manufacturing, selling, or marketing opioids in the US and will no longer control Purdue."

NYS AG Letitia James: "This company that put profits over people for decades is now shut down forever."

I guess next will be "Benjamin Netanyahu Boulevard" somewhere in Amerikkka.

Thanks, Morris.

Hah!

Evidence suggests that members of Detroit's Purple Gang unalived Jimmy Hoffa and buried him on a huge property in rural Michigan.

I knew someone who made an absolute killing betting on the San Diego Chargers the season when they started 0-4.

The coach was a US Army veteran so I was happy too.

My friend never stopped talking about his winnings that year unless there was an IRS guy nearby.

Otherwise: "Drinks are on me!"

Like us in the US, Effeteposer.

Everyday Americans are hated overseas because of the Dotard-in-Chief.

Many innocent Jews and Russians must also feel persecuted because of their monstrous leaders.

I doubt the Iranians would purposefully target our protestors or universities like miscreants Dummkopf Trumpf and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Did someone say kitten?

All of the Democrats and progressives in Pennsylvania (except the deadenders of AIPAC) want John Fetterman gone PDQ.

He slimed fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani last year, a competent young man who stood up to Dummkopf Trumpf and recently declined a personal meeting with King Charles.

BTW: There are plenty of Israelis opposed to ethnic cleansing the Palestinian population and American Jews against AIPAC. We mustn't throw them under the bus because of ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu who received stolen Venezuelan oil and pilfered Ukrainian grain.

Always money for killin"!

Thanks for posting, Corky.

Can't wait to see US Senator James Talarico's (D-TX) first meeting with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D).

That would take place if Mayor Mamdani has business in Wash DC next year, so it's remote, but not impossible.

Sidenote: Two of the greatest martial artists of the 1960s and 70s never met: Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee.

Hi Doc Sarvis

The US should never have been an empire in the first place. The American people fought off an empire to become an independent republic. As a congressman from Illinois in 1846, Abraham Lincoln kept questioning the warmongers who pushed for war against Mexico. He would say: "Show me the spot on the map where Mexican forces went into US territory." The newspapers began calling him "Spotty Lincoln."

As a militiaman mustered into service to fight the indigenous tribes, he was elected commander and his unit apparently never engaged the enemy during months of patrols-- A. Lincoln had no blood on his hands.

During the Civil War, President Lincoln did not invade Canada and he had pretext to do so. Confederates ran an espionage and sabotage ring out of Quebec and their envoys worked out of Ontario. Raids were conducted into the northern states and a plot to burn down Manhattan emanated from Confederates in Canada. SECWAR William Seward and the cabinet were all made aware of these machinations.

Protests from all quarters couldn't stop the Spanish-American War (1898) and within four months the US became an empire.

Protests against entering the First World War initially worked, but failed.

"I don't want my son dying in some far away place for some far away reason."

The US would occupy the German Rhineland until 1923 while sending a brigade to help the White Russians and Czech Legion against the Bolsheviks.

Pacification against the Moros and resistance forces in the Philippines continued until the Imperial Japanese Army kicked us out in 1042: "I shall return."

The US wins the Second World War, establishes Bretton Woods, the Five Eyes Intelligence alliance, USCENTCOM, USEUCOM, USPACOM, USSOUTHCOM, and then sacrifices our boys "in a far away place for a far away reason" called Vietnam. Then Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran.

While our "empire" rapidly declined and our population pauperized under Republican Party malfeasant governance, the US amassed the most billionaires in history and Israel recorded the highest per capita number of billionaires on the planet.

Endnote: 'Twas a northern oligarch named Horace Greeley who funded CSA Jefferson Davis' post-Civil War bond granting him freedom. Jefferson Davis would outlive A. Lincoln by 20 years or so.

Read A. Lincoln's prophetic words below:

The late Sen John McCain (R-AZ) bristled whenever someone criticized "the Surge" of US forces into Iraq.

He demanded that people agree with him that the "Surge" was a success.

The temporary effects worked for a time in Iraq, but ultimately failed as the US was still an occupying power and the costs in soldiers and materiel eventually wore us out.

Marine

Good-for-nothing Sean Duffy blamed retired POTUS Joe Biden (D) for Spirit Airlines shutting down.

Why, was Barack Obama or Jimmy Carter too long ago to sling cr*p at?

As I posted last year, Dummkopf Trumpf and Benjamin Netanyahu are the best living promotional advertisements for progressive candidates the US has had in decades, to wit: James Talarico (D), Zohran Mamdani (D), Graham Platner (D) et al.

Artificially-created Islamophobia, the bankrupting "Forever Wars," and ethnic cleansing are passe. Kaput. Done.

And Dummkopf Trumpf wanted to help Benjamin Netanyahu who told him the Iranian regime would collapse under their combined illegal onslaught. Some Trumpf junta advisors knew this was a fable but still allowed the attack to proceed.

The unlawful US war against the people of Iran on behalf of Israel will eclipse the disastrous 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by inter-galactically exponential terms, but probably won't equal the trillion-dollar Islamophobic misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dummkopf Trumpf had to show something for the astonishing $233,473,622 AIPAC has given him over the years which everyday Americans are now paying for.
