Yup. It's awful and there's nothing we could say. I don't think those folks are still alive today, as I lived in that building years ago.

"We must protect America before these lunatics give everyone healthcare!"

Hmph.

One of the 40,000 Israeli trolls missed this OP.

Hi Clownshack

You're right.

Notice that NONE of the Israeli trolls write about their top ten world class universal healthcare system while we go broke defending Israel and deal with a sh#tty system, United Healthcare, paperwork in triplicate, expensive drugs, and lousy medical outcomes?

"FUNNY"

Ha ha ha!

Another "life imitating art" OP by the housecat with furry paws and an XP computer.

"The Hills Have Eyes" movie and the banned X-Files episode "Home."

So, the new words in our lexicon: "Epsteined," "ensh#ttification," and now "Frankened."

RIP.

She was terrific.

Thanks for posting.

Wes Bryant, who formerly served as a senior targeting adviser and policy analyst at the US DOD who specialized in assessing civilian harm, stated that he found the astonishing figure of 850,000 to be "extremely alarming."

Out of 2.2m Gazans, the USIC estimated 20,000 to 25,000 were muqawama fighters prior to the 7 Oct 2023 raid to seize Israelis for a prisoner swap. The IDF estimated Hamas had approximately 40,000 resistance fighters before the start of the Gaza genocide.

The death toll in Gaza is now 73,102; 173,581; have been wounded or maimed by the American taxpayer-funded Israeli Death Forces (IDF). The IDF can easily kill 75,000 by the end of the year. But liquidating more than two or three Palestinians a day in Gaza would bring more international and UN scrutiny, so the IDF High Command has to settle for micro-attrition.

The death toll in Lebanon is now 4,320, while 12,203 others have been injured, courtesy of US funds and munitions.

US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, barring Republican Party interference. AIPAC candidates of both parties should be thrown off a cliff.

The psychopathic Israeli Death Forces (IDF), serial killers of the Middle East, like the gravely demented Andrei Chikatilo.

I suspect at least one NYC Jew of voting for Dummkopf Trumpf and I came across two Irishmen who were conservative Republicans(!) in the past few years.

In NYC of all places.

This is like meeting black Republicans.

Blech!

A (Jewish) woman in my bridge game asked during the 2024 Nakba: "But, what are they [the Palestinians in Gaza] going to eat?"

I replied: "Good question."

In one building I lived in years ago, I quietly observed the tattoos on the arms of some of the elderly folks whenever we occasionally rode the elevator together. I would smile politely, give the greeting of the day, and then simply look at my shoes.

Benjamin Netanyahu wants America's enormous population of 349,058,155 people of all denominations (Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Protestant, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Atheist, Deist, Orthodox Christian) to only love the 7,300,000 Jews of Israel, and not the 93,168,497 people of oil-rich Iran or the 87,926,082 people of militarily powerful NATO ally Turkiye -- two countries vehemently opposed to Israel's genocidal campaign against Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank.

This was the 2024 Democratic Party's catastrophic mistake-- not listening to tens of millions of antiwar Samaritans, pacifists, and pro-Palestine volunteers during the horrible Nakba which is continuing today at a slower pace.

"The threatening letters, sent by good-for-nothing Assistant USAG Harmeet "I'll have the butter chicken" Dhillon, who is destroying DOJ's Civil Rights Division, demand that states explain within five days how they plan to comply with federal voter eligibility laws."

Q. U. A. G. M. I. R. E.

And this aging serial killer of Europe admitted "the enemy's counter-attacks...."

This is something the serial killer of the Middle East -- Benjamin Netanyahu -- won't admit or (misspeak for now): "Iranian, Palestinian, or Lebanese counter-attacks...."

Vladimir Putin, the decrepit Son of Sam of Europe, and Dummkopf Trumpf's KGB handler.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) shows up at crises -- like the recent plane crash at LGA, the nurses strike, the relief center for Venezuela-- or this-- and let's his competent folks take charge while letting us all know he cares. Zohran is a mensch and a vir populorum.

Meanwhile Canadian-Cuban US Senator Ted Cruz (R-Israel) flees inclement weather and demands bodyguards at airports to keep justifiably angry constituents away from him and his gorgon wife.

And disgraced ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Ghouliani (R) was caught spending more time at Yankees games than at Ground Zero after the horrible 9/11 attacks.

"...more American Jews approve of Zohran Mamdani (D) than of Benjamin Netanyahu (D and R-USA)."

"To be a Jew is to always side with the oppressed, never the oppressor."

I forgot to mention South Korean KCIA (now NIS) and the Turkish MIT also have a strong relationship built after the Korean War. The Turks receive info from Ukraine, their NATO partners, and the ROK -- and vice versa.

From my experience, the top intelligence agencies in the Middle East are the MIT and Jordan's British-trained mukhabarat.

I discounted the heavily politicized Israeli intelligence reports and did just fine without them for 27 years.

Overall, in the Middle East US SIGINT was the best source for intelligence backed up by IMINT from the NRO.

Behind all of the smoke and mirrors for all these years, the BLUF is Israel does not want Turkiye to have the F35 Stealth fighter.

On Monday ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu begged Dummkopf Trumpf on "Fox & Fiends" not to give this technology to a Muslim country opposed to the Gaza genocide (+75,000 Muslims massacred by the IDF). Netanyahu did not mention the Russian SAM controversy.

Moreover, Turkish strongman Tayyip Erdogan said he had done some [unpublicized] favors for the Trumpf junta during the past several years in the Middle East and expects payback.

Those favors were probably allowing Russian supplies into Iran during the illegal war and other things, probably intelligence-related. The MIT is quite competent and has access to sources A to Z, from Palestinian resistance fighters to Syrian guerillas, Kurdish groups, Turkic peoples in the Middle East and Central Asia, and North African tribes.

French President Macron thanked Erdogan for providing valuable intelligence before the Paris 2024 Olympiad and the Surete made some arrests ahead of the games.

Moreover, US companies want this lucrative F35 contract with Turkiye to go through.

For decades, the US and Turkiye have had a special organization called the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) for contracts and NATO industrial standards compliance.

Turkish taxi drivers to this day still refer to ODC by its 1960s name: "JUSMAG."

In all of the Army National Guard deployments to "restore order" or quash the civil rights movement in the 1960s, I couldn't find any reports of fatalities from either the angry citizens or the Soldiers.

And not one Ohio Army National Guardsman who opened fire on the unarmed Kent State students on 4 May 1970 was ever brought to justice for the massacre (four students killed, nine wounded).

One plank for a winning POTUS 2028 platform: "I will never deploy the Army National Guard onto America's streets. Ever."

"I'll take Nasty Decrepit Aging Tyrants for $100, Ken."

"This good-for-nothing deteriorating despot in the wheelchair was a sock puppet of a violent cabal of military and security service leaders and business insiders for many years."

*Ding!*

"Who is Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas?"

"No, I'm sorry, Nancy. Both crippled miscreants do look alike and are terrible human beings, but this is...."

When white farmers in the Red States receive government handouts, it's patriotism.

When poor People of Color in the Blue States receive government handouts, it's socialism.

Got it.

Glad we cleared that up.
