Nearly four million people who signed up for Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) plans this year have already dropped their coverage after the loss of subsidies resulted in sharply higher costs, for some the premiums were more expensive than their mortgages. Meanwhile, the US has wasted over $113bn fighting an illegal and reckless war against Iran on behalf of Israel, a wealthy and nuclear-armed country that offers world class universal healthcare to all her residents.
Why are Americans paying for another country's excellent universal healthcare system?
The viscerally disliked Acting DNI Bill Pulte installed 2020 election denier Christina Norton as his Chief of Staff whose previous experience for the GOP centered on election issues, including efforts to monitor voting sites during the 2024 presidential election.

By way of background, America's nuclear arsenal are strategic weapons in USAF and USN control falling under the "Nuclear Surety Program" and no atomic weapons are under US Army control. Senior US Army leadership historically felt left out of the nuclear club, so during the Cold War, the Pershing missile system gave them theater-level nukes in West Germany until 1991. Decades ago, US Army Special Forces soldiers were trained to deploy "nuclear backpacks" behind enemy lines. One SOF warrior would carry the ultra-heavy backpack while his comrade carried both their rucksacks. This program was eventually retired. There was one historic moment when the US Army got to detonate its very own nuclear weapon. On 25 May 1953 in Nevada, the US Army fired a nuclear artillery round with a 15 kt yield from the M65 cannon, "Atomic Annie," named after a German WWII weapon. The explosion yielded the same destructive level as "Little Boy" and the M65 never fired another nuke again.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is trying to help these poor Haitians and Syrians, but against the satanic Trumpf junta and ICE, his capabilities are limited.
How many of these poor devils are going to be killed when they return to Syria and Haiti?

Decades ago in NYC's West Side near the NYT building (south of Seinfeld's fictional apartment) was a medium-sized store that sold copies of old NYT newspapers, Playboy magazines, Sports Illustrateds, Saturday Evening Posts, etc.
For the collector in the non-internet era, this shop was a paradise.
Missing from my collection, which I found there, was this issue which I still own today: i.ebayimg.com
I'm sorry to read that Red Light Robot.
UNICEF issued a report which I'm sure you saw in one of my OPs that the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) are specifically targeting Palestinian children, like serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
The trolls will now bleat that you -- like me -- are suffering from "Gaza Obsession Syndrome" or "West Bank Derangement Syndrome," which is the new tactic to secure a Democratic AIPAC vote on progressive websites.
On conservative websites, the pro-Israel trolls disparage Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, and MTG to secure the Republican AIPAC vote. These four are slimed as antisemites and AIPAC money knocked Congress Thomas Massie out in the primary several weeks ago.
AIPAC and Israel have both political parties covered pretty well.
So, I guess you are a "Muslim lover" and I am a "Jew hater," or vice versa, when being a humanitarian is above religion.
And if the Israelis are so innocent, noble, and "just" in their pursuits, why do they need to employ 40,000 online trolls targeting Americans 24/7 with PSYOP like A. Fiend, CutiePie, "R2D2," or a few other suspects on drudge.com?

In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower saw the M65 "Atomic Annie" artillery system at his inaugural parade, but he did not witness the above test explosion.
The US Army deployed approximately 20 M65 systems in Europe and South Korea which were constantly moved around to avoid enemy detection until this "prestige weapon" was retired in 1963.

Hi Doc Sarvis
Last night I had to decide between Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr or Droll Stories by Honore de Balzac.
Glad I chose Balzac. He would have written a vicious whirlwind of words about lumpenfleisch Dummkopf Trumpf.
