"...Iran continues to support groups that carry out attacks killing Jews."

Iran's Jewish community has thrived there for centuries.

The first physical threat to them came from Israel of all places.

What a joke.

NY Rangers and Knickerbockers and terrific club fighters, too.

Fine, thanks old friend.

Two consecutive nights of bridge for me (after I cook dinner and tidy up a bit).

US Ambassador Julie Davis is a career diplomat, not a political hack.

Hi Clownshack

I trust all is well.

Hi Corky

I never tried that whiskey cocktail.

Every coupla three years I seek out an old school mixologist who fashions me a heavenly "Old Fashioned."

Hic!

Jonathan Ross is a filthy murderer.

Jonathan Ross will live the rest of his life looking over his shoulder or getting sick after eating out.

Samaritans will recognize him and spit or sh*t in his food.

Worse for him, Jonathan Ross may end up perforated with ventilation holes in the future. May not be tomorrow or next year, but someone will exact vengeance on this a**hole.

The other irony is that Iranian ayatollahs issued fatwas against using chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons because such deployment of WMDS would despoil nature.

Meanwhile, the IDF ruined southern Lebanon and caused an environmental catastrophe over the skies of Tehran by destroying Iran's oil facilities. And Benjamin Netanyahu laughed ahead of the cataclysm, warning the Iranians that a "surprise" was coming. The IDF calculated the wind and pressure zones so after their attack the toxic smoke would black out Tehran.

Justice must be the priority of any person, agency, or organization.

"Well, we're not going to investigate mobster John Gotti because he keeps the neighborhood safe ana pays for fireworks every Fourth of July."

or

"What good will investigating Father Giuseppe do? So, he fiddle-faddled with some boys years ago. This priest fills the pews every Sunday. That's what the church needs. Full pews."

or

"You see, ICE doesn't need to be abolished, just reformed. They have have an important national security function of being able to deport undesirables without seeing an Immigration Judge. I proposed legislation requiring ICE thugs can't wear masks."

Hakeem Jeffries admitted to be an agent of the status quo, not an agent of progress for the American people.

Everybody on the planet knew this already.

This or toilet paper is a better place for Dummkopf Trumpf's face:

**** Israel Orders New Evacuations in Southern Lebanon ***

IDF soldiers have been looting homes in southern Lebanon without punishment and the ceasefire is doing little to stop the killing. The Lebanese Health Ministry has raised the death toll since the start of the Israeli invasion to 2,534 killed and 7,863 others wounded.

FTA: The Israeli Defense Forces have:

Damaged 5,000 hectares (12,350 acres) of forest cover, including broadleaf, pine and stone pine stands, destroying habitats, disregulating local climates and causing soil erosion.

Destroyed $118m (87m) of physical agriculture assets, including crops, livestock facilities, forestry resources, fisheries and aquaculture infrastructure.

Caused further losses of $586m (433m) in lost agricultural production as a result of disrupted harvests and reduced yields.

Destroyed 2,154 hectares (5,320 acres) of orchards, including 814 hectares of olive groves and 637 hectares of citrus plantations, and caused extensive damage to banana plantations.

Contaminated soils with phosphorus concentrations up to 1,858 parts a million, with particular contamination hotspots in south Lebanon and Bekaa valley in the east.

Caused widespread air pollution episodes extending well beyond immediate strike zones and releasing particulates; sulphur and nitrogen oxides; and toxic compounds such as dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
