  • Democratic candidate for the 13th CD Avila Chevalier: "I think so many New Yorkers are tired of waking up every single morning and seeing their tax dollars going towards a live-streamed genocide instead of being reinvested in their communities."
  • In the 10th CD, popular NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (D)-- a mensch as we say in NYC-- is challenging AIPAC darling Dan Goldman. Goldman, a fabulously wealthy brontosaurus with a net worth of $250m, did not endorse fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 NYC mayoral race.
  • Quipped the effective new Mayor of NYC Zohran Mamdani (D): "I'll say that in our election last time around, I was lucky. I didn't have to compete with the Knicks' first championship; I didn't have to compete with the first World Cup."

    UNICEF issued an alert on child killings in Gaza by the IDF. Spokesperson James Elder: "You sneeze near the Orange Line and you may well get shot. During a period supposedly defined by restraint and protection, a Palestinian child has been killed, on average, every single day for more than eight months. That is an absurd and devastating figure. Palestinian children were not killed in a warzone but rather in their homes, schools, while playing football, or fishing. They were shot, they were bombed, they were struck by quadcopters operated by the US-funded Israeli military."

    US complicity in this horror show


    US Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) admitted that Iran is playing "rope-a-dope" with Dummkopf Trumpf, inflicting the astonishing insult of "dope" on the morbidly obese geriatric Dotard-in-Chief on, of all places, Faux News.

    "You won't meet anyone dumber than Dummkopf Trumpf."


    After wasting a jaw-dropping $113bn recklessly attacking Iran on behalf of Israel, the satanic Trumpf junta doesn't want to spend a measly 1% of that astronomical amount to help state and local governments with DHS funding to prevent terrorism, protect infrastructure, and prepare for major disasters unless they comply with election law changes the junta designed to suppress the vote.

    "What, no overtime to protect this dump? Let's getta outta here, fellas!"

    The incompetent and nefarious Trumpf junta is planning to charge legal immigrants seeking US citizenship $570 more in application fees while eliminating waivers and fee reductions for low-income applicants. Paper applications would increase from $760 to $1,330, online applications from $710 to $1,280, and application fees to reconsider a citizenship request denial would jump by $645.

    Dummkopf Trumpf and the illegal war against Iran on behalf of Israel has bankrupted the US government, so the junta is squeezing poor immigrants for money

    Decades and decades of useless US sanctions have hardened the Iranian economy and drove them to Russia and China.

    And Iran still managed to obtain Western funds through Bitcoin exchanges. Dummkopf Trumpf had pardoned one of these notorious crypto-currency goniffs.

    Living in the neighborhood of belligerent Israel, the Iranians developed inexpensive asymmetric countermeasures, drones, which they have sold to the Kremlin-- the Shaheeds, for example.

    One of Iran's cabinet ministers confessed that his country still has stockpiles of drones left.

    I believe him.

    Just imagine the ammunition stockpiles in North Korea after decades and decades of isolation.

    For oil-poor Israel, the US shunned oil-rich Iran.

    Under the notorious Shah, Iran was a US military ally in CENTO, a now defunct NATO analog in the Middle East.

    Decades of foreign interference in the US body politic-- followed up with healthy dollops of irrational Islamophobia-- have prevented detente between Wash DC and Tehran-- and the 1980s Iran-Contra Affair exposed American duplicity.

    Note that on 12 Nov 2001, Iran still tried to become friends again with the US. The Iranian IRGC-QF helped USSOF topple the Taliban in the city of Herat, paving the way for the US to initially depose the Taliban and root out al-Qaida operatives in Afghanistan.

    Years later, Dummkopf Trumpf would later assassinate that IRGC-QF commander, a beloved military hero named General Qasem Soleimani.

    The $300bn will go far in Iran to rebuild the country we attacked on behalf of Israel, replenish Tahran's drone stockpiles, and provide 100% universal healthcare for all their residents. Presently Iran is at 95%, which is a galaxy farther down the road than the US and our 'BBB.'

    Endnote: The airwing of the Chinese PLA have developed these aerial drone carriers while the US will be wasting billions and billions of dollars building sinkable paleolithic Trumpf-class battleships.

    *** Israeli Nat'l Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir: "Lebanon is Israel's Playground" ***

    "Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who relishes the thought of executing Palestinian youths being tortured in IDF prisons, rejected a potential ceasefire in Lebanon, saying that Lebanon should instead be "Israel's playground."

    ~snip~

    This is the same maniac who suggested the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) should abduct Lebanese children and that "all of Lebanon must burn."

    Over 3,500 people have been killed by the IDF in Lebanon; 400 are reported to be Lebanese Hezbollah guerillas resisting the IDF invasion. 1.4m Lebanese people have been displaced in what the UN calls a "humanitarian catastrophe."

    Not withstanding Republican Party chicanery, US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.
