*** Gaza: IDF Kills Yet Another Journalist With Drone Strike; Victim in Clearly Marked Car ***

"Israel has been targeting journalists in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023.

At least 262 journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since then."

~snip~

63 journalists were killed covering the Vietnam War (1955-1975)

Roger Stone apparently stepped in to protect D/DNI Tulsi Gabbard from getting 86-ed.

*** Happy Confederate Surrender Day (9 April 1865) ***

I was sitting in a NYC waterhole a couple of three years ago enjoying a nice cold draft when I heard something on the TV. I wasn't watching it but my ears caught something,

So, like I had Tourette's Syndrome, I bark out "Richard the Third!"

The regulars stared at me and continued in their revels.

My ears caught something else, so agains I yelp: "Much Ado About Nothing!"

Again I get the "look."

After a few moments I yell out "MacBeth!" like Rain Man.

The comely blond bartender saunters over to me wryly and says:

"Hey, Colonel. I thought you didn't watch TV. What goes on?"

"I don't. But all those questions on Jeopardy! were about Shakespeare!"

"Well then, this one's on the house, Einstein."

*** Anti-Regime Iranians Now Regret Supporting US-Israeli Attack Against Their Country ***

"In the early days of the conflict, some Iranian opponents of the ruling establishment saw Dummkopf Trumpf and Benjamin Netanyahu as potential forces for change, even as unlikely allies.

But as the war dragged on, and the scale of destruction became clearer, those expectations faded dramatically.

"Why did they hit bridges?" a dissident student named Leila asks.

"Why destroy railway lines? Why target oil depots?"

She shakes her head.

"How does that help change a government?"

Hi AU

I stopped watching movies years ago.

Demolition Man was an entertaining Sci-Fi set in a faux utopian society.

This movie allowed Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone to express their physicality and martial arts training.

The meme "Murder-Death-Kill" also came from this action film that is spiced with humor.

Right now I'm reading Gods, Heroes, and Men of Ancient Greece by W.H.D. Rouse (1957).

The American Islamophobia Propaganda Action Committee (AIPAC) miserably failed against Zohran Mamdani in NYC last year and is losing against Graham Platner in Maine.

We'll see how much AIPAC gangs up on young master James "No More Forever Wars" Talarico in Texas.

Unfortunately, AIPAC has pretty much a lock on Georgia:

Indeed.

And yet Dummkopf Trumpf supporters ignore his blatant hypocrisy and worship the very ground he walks on.

Like I wrote, Dummkopf Trumpf is a morbidly obese non-smoking geriatric version of Simon Phoenix.

*** UK Foreign Minister Blasts Dummkopf Trumpf On Idiotic Tolls in Strait of Hormuz Idea ***

UK Defense Secretary John Healey echoed a similar sentiment, telling journalists at a press conference that such a toll would "create a potential principle that could be used and abused by others elsewhere."

Minutes to destroy, months to remedy, right AU?

FTA:

"Rodney Gibson served over ten years in federal prison after pleading guilty to federal drug and gun charges in 2009. Gibson was initially sentenced to 35 years in federal prison, along with five years of supervised release. His prison sentence was reduced to 32 years in 2015 and then brought down to 17 years in 2017. Then, in January 2021, this phony Christian was one of several people whose prison sentences were commuted by Dummkopf Trumpf on the final day of his first term."

Hi Corky

No wonder Pope Leo XIV is avoiding Amerikkka until Dummkopf Trumpf is gone.

Like I wrote in my OP-- Dummkopf Trumpf is one-third of the 21st-century Axis of Evil.

UK PM Keir Starmer also ratcheted up his criticism of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who has ordered the continual and barbaric deadly strikes inside Lebanon:

"But let me be really clear about it. [The Israelis] are wrong. That shouldn't be happening. That should stop. The question isn't a technical one of whether it's a breach of the agreement or not. The question is actually a matter of principles."

~snip~

What "principles" would Benjamin Netanyahu, a notorious ethnic cleanser and fugitive from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for committing crimes against humanity, have?

The 21st Century Axis of Evil

"Be best!"

"Stuff like this is why neither side is in the right in that conflict."

"...As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don't return their calls because I'm too busy wrecking World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go "nasty," just like Marjorie "Traitor" Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country Israel.

MAGA MIGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH and only allowing Israel to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA MIGA is about MAKING AMERICA ISRAEL GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE "HOTTEST" COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! President DUMMKOPF J. TRUMPF.'

And China employs a Western-educated, smooth talking Tibetan for TV appearances and interviews that vomits the Beijing party line.

Tenzeen something, I can't recall his name because I stopped watching TV years ago.

**** Congressman Robert Garcia (D-CA): Former USAG Merrick Garland Should Testify About Epstein Files ****

"Why the [Department of Justice (DOJ)] under Merrick Garland, or others, weren't forthcoming in what was actually in these files, I think is an important question that has to be answered."
