President Donald Trump on Monday is expected to sign three executive orders that would reshape the military, including banning transgender service members from serving in the US armed forces, gutting the military's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, and reinstating service members with backpay who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated from Covid-19, two White House officials told CNN. read more

Also, I'm reminded of this:
Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat.Looking forward to seeing what happens to our society when those who allow its most basic aspects to function are tossed out.
These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B Ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course, the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.

Censored reminds me of a former poster from back in the day GZLives.Israel can do no wrong in his eyes.

Never said that Laura. Israel can do plenty of wrong, and it has. But it's the Palestinians that has consistently refused peace.
How Palestine rejected offer to have its own state 5 times in the pastBecause they would like to see the Jews exterminated. Which is quite an ask when they keep losing the wars that they start.

Palestinians just lost pretty much all of my sympathy with October 7th and their "protests" on American soil thereafter. And the fact that their useful idiots helped cost the 2024 election hasn't endeared them to me either. So Israel will do what it's going to do, but this time with the full support of the United States, since the pro-Hamas crowd has helped elect Trump.
The FAAFO educational process will be in full swing for the next four to twelve years. And the Palestinians will be seated in the front row for that class. Hope they take good notes.
The Repub-Likud Party now has Democrats hating Arab-Americans who make up approximately 1% of the US population. 25% of them are Lebanese-Americans. Only 40% of the population in Dearborn, Michigan is Arab-American. This anti-Muslim scapegoating and potential ban are perfect examples of Islamophobia, making Bibi the net winner of the 2024 US election and the hard-working American taxpayer the big loser.

Yeah, Islamophobia... as they voted Trump/Stein in a swing state and chanted Genocide Joe for about a year straight. Not that actual facts matter:
How did Muslim Americans vote in election? Poll finds massive shift from 2020In certain people's minds, everyone is to blame except the voter.
In Michigan, a swing state with a large Muslim population, Trump earned 22% of the Muslim vote, coming second after Stein, who won 59% of the vote. Harris, in contrast, won just 14%.

In historic shift, American Muslim and Arab voters desert Democrats
The lost Muslim and Arab votes hurt Harris's bid to win Michigan and its 15 electoral votes. The Muslim voting rights group Emgage estimates there are more than 200,000 registered Muslim voters in Michigan; Trump won the state by a margin of about 84,000 votes according to the latest results Thursday.

Also Corky is too stupid to realize it doesn't replace engineers. He "follows the science" as well as Trumpers, identically in fact.

Man! Sounds like someone has a little sand ...
If you want to know who's really in charge, look at who you can't criticize.
And, yes, I know the neo-nazi origin of this trope. It's just turning out to be true.

Is it Black people for targeting Asians with violent crime?
Dirty secret of black-on-Asian violence is outIt makes sense that we can't talk about that because it's not "Asian lives matter." Get with the program, you Nazi! And stop talking about it!
San Francisco's hidden truth is out. That's what community organizer Carol Mo calls the realization that Asian residents are being targeted for robberies, burglaries and intimidation by young black men.

It's easier to blame third party voters than it is to blame the Democratic party. It takes no mental effort to do it.
So she proudly declared that it was her intended purpose to help Trump win. And all her supporters fell in line to help her.#6 | Posted by LauraMohr And lest we forget
So, yes, I'm blaming the voters who facilitated this result. Because that's the way democracies work. The voters are responsible for who wins or loses an election. Sorry to break that to you.
