Chinese military casualties since 9/11 are probably less than one hundred over the past 25 years caused by border skirmishes with Indian soldiers in the Himalayans.

US casualties in the Middle East and Afghanistan since 9/11? Too numerous to list.

Over the past 25 years, the US wasted trillions of dollars killing Muslims all over the Middle East and SW Asia while China spent trillions of dollars on R & D and effectively stealing Western technology.

No casualties.

And China has observed all the military tactics and technology used in the Ukraine War, the Gaza genocide, and now the Iran catastrophe.

Chinese UN peacekeepers are spreading goodwill and collecting intelligence in various places without casualties.

George "Dubya" Bush started this American freefall with his idiotic Global War on Islam and and Dummkopf Trumpf accelerated it.

"Xie xie, Republicans!"

I left the Catholic church Republican Party in large part due to the institutionalized corruption, and it was at the parish congressional level, to the bishop gubernatorial level, cardinals senators, all the way to Rome the White House.

Tucker Carlson's son Buckley resigned from VPOTUS JD Vance's staff.

Sidenote:

"Tucker Carlson, the former Faux News TV tumor, asked Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, for help with his own son's application to Georgetown University. Hunter Biden agreed to write a letter of recommendation for Carlson's son, Buckley, to support his admission to Georgetown in 2014. This request came at a time when the Bidens and Carlsons were reportedly close. Tucker Carlson expressed gratitude to Hunter Biden for writing the letter, acknowledging it as a kind favor on behalf of his son."

*** Dummkopf Rages on Truth Social: Iran is in "Total Violation Of Ceasefire" ***

"Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz " A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn't nice, was it?

"My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan " They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it.

"They're helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be the tough guy!'

"We're offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!

"They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT'S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!"

~EOM~

The putrefying confused draft-dodging pedophilic dotard in the White House did not end his screed with either "Allahu Akbar!" or 'THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!"

7. Reading the New York Post has never been a consciousness-raising endeavor, unless you're a fan of sports or trashy celebrities.
Been that way for decades.

When The Police started touring the US in the late 1970s after the modest success of their first album and hit Roxanne, the trio found themselves at times booked in little American dives and few people in attendance for this unknown band.

Undaunted, the trio would play their full set in the nearly empty performance halls.

Afterwards Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland would sit, drink, and chat with the few patrons who stayed for the entire length pf their set.

FTA:

"Dummkopf Trumpf reportedly adopted a strategy of intentionally acting unstable and insulting towards Iran, in the hopes that it would push the victim of US aggression to negotiate an end to the illegal, unpopular, and costly war Trumpf initiated on behalf of Israel, an epic catastrophe which is now bankrupting the US economy and infuriating hard-working American taxpayers who are paying more and more for fuel and food."

The unorthodox tactics were reportedly the reason why the morbidly obese draft-dodging pedophilic accomplice of Israeli fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu made the recent string of imbecilic and controversial posts, incompetent junta apparatchiks pitched to The Wall Street Journal."

Sleazy good-for-nothing grifter Paolo Zampolli had ICE brutally deport Amanda Ungaro (41) to Brazil so he could gain custody of her 16-year-old son. The former model spent three months in misery in an ICE gulag in Miami, FL, before being flown to Brazil through Louisiana.

Amanda Ungaro was part of Dummkopf and Melanoma Trumpf's social circle for years and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned (or unjustly incarcerated, deported, and then separated from her son):

"I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it's the last thing I do in my life. I will go all the way " I am not afraid. Maybe you should be afraid of what I know ... of who you are, and who your husband is."

After the resolution to condemn AIPAC's influence inexplicably failed at the recent DNC Conference in New Orleans, the CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Halie Soifer, expressed gratitude to the DNC's leadership:

"We are glad to see the DNC's Resolutions Committee's rejection of two resolutions related to Israel, both of which were out of step with the policies of the Democratic Party, as codified in the 2024 Democratic Party Policy Platform."

Since 7 Oct 2023, the IDF has killed 72,549 Palestinians with US-made arms funded with American taxpayer dollars; over 172,000 have been wounded or maimed.

Excerpt from the Axios article:

"We need to have a discussion about how to normalize that relationship and what change is necessary; there's no doubt about that," stated Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO).

Every Senate Democrat who's eyeing a 2028 presidential run voted against arms sales to Israel in votes earlier this week.

40 Senate Democrats voted on a resolution to block arms sales to Israel, up from just 15 on a similar vote last April."

Hi Clownshack:

Glad to hear you're doing fine. We just ate dinner and now listening to Beethoven's Seventh Symphony (Maestro Herbert von Karajan conducting). Tonight we're playing Spades.

Some Democrats have started their AIPAC divorce proceedings, but that may be 75,000 dead Palestinians and one beachside Gaza resort for Israeli oligarchs too late.

Former D/NCTC Joe Kent-- a cat person-- suggested a bipartisan bloc of non-AIPAC Democrats and non-AIPAC Republicans to retake the USG.

My position has been to simply let billion-dollar AIPAC become its own political party: The America Israel Party (AIP). This acronym was first used in 1968.

This way gun-loving evangelical anti-abortion Republicans can vote for the corporate master of their choice, progressives can vote for the antiwar, universal healthcare Democratic Party candidate of their choice, and MIGATs can vote for the pro-Israeli candidate of their choice.

I bet moribund voter turnout will finally exceed 65% with three choices.

Those USAF box lunches were fine: Ham and cheese or tuna fish on white bread, half-pint milk, half-pint fruit juice, water, bag of potato chips, small chocolate or granola bar, cookies, apple, banana, or orange, plenty of mustard and mayo packets, but not enough napkins.

Hi Clownshack:

How are you today, old friend?

Thanks for posting the words of my fellow Bronx High School of Science alum.

When NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) declared that he would order the NYPD to arrest notorious international fugitives Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin if they ever step foot into NYC jurisdiction for UNGA, people should believe him.

That's another reason why AIPAC, Michael Bloomberg, Alan Dershowitz, John Fetterman, and Andrew Cuomo did their utmost worst to try and defeat him.

A few weeks ago, someone posted here (or another platform) that the Democratic Party way forward for 2026 and beyond was not to follow Zohran Mamdani's path to political success, but rather Gov Abigail Anne Spanberger's (D-VA), formula.

This competent young woman-- a former CIA officer-- caught a break by having a father who was a US Postal Inspector. So, she applied and worked for the hard-to-get-into agency while waiting for CIA to finish their security clearance on her. Pays to have a familial connection, even in the federal civil service.

This specific author who pushed Abigail Spanberger's winning formula over Zohran Mamdani's, inexplicably skipped over two other American candidates with similar platforms and messages who are, so far, doing well in their respective races: Graham Platner (D-ME) and James Talarico (D-TX).

So, why would this "Democratic" political writer promote Abigail over Zohran?

As a Congresswoman, "Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) supported delivering more bombs for Israel to drop on the same people she votes to send humanitarian aid to."

"And Karen had eyes like Elizabeth Taylor" (Henry Hill in Goodfellas).

And Cleopatra was Greek, the last of the Ptolemic line.

Here's a play from Shakespeare's predecessor, the immortal Christopher Marlowe.

You'll recognize the same actors.

Dr. Faustus wanted to meet the "most beautiful" woman in history.

I re-read the play a few weeks ago.

Funny how Dummkopf Trumpf helps out the world's two most notorious ethnic cleansers.

He's simply a paragon of virtue.

No shortage of s***bags in the US and Dummkopf Trumpf pardoned a horde of them as soon he seized power on 20 Jan 2025. And it's anyone's guess how many of these lunatics are in ICE.

Mack Davis didn't seem to join one of the many Michigan white supremacist militias.

Most serial killers operate alone.

This sociopath will be free at the age of 30 and will have learned more vile things from other white supremacists in stir when he rejoins society in 2033.

I tell my Catholic friends to confess to rabbis instead of priests because the Solomons seem to have a better sense of humor than the Padres.

Once I caught somebody cheating at cards on Saturday right after she told us she was going to attend 5PM Sunday Mass.

"Confess!"

Thanks for the info, Marine.

BTW: Not so tough giving up movies or TV.

I watched so many films in my halycon days that I provide leads for folks today on cult classics or hidden gems.

Giving up the Cyclops gives me more time for reading books, NYT crossword puzzles, and playing bridge or chess.

Not too much tennis for me anymore, as the hooves of my Bucephalus have aged a wee bit.

I heard years ago that the USN reserved the best cooks and mess halls for the CPOs.

Grammatical corrected:

"In countries without AIPAC, the people tend to be less Islamophobic and not supportive of ethnic cleansing or genocide, unlike the US."
