And before the vote, some of the Republican senators made it sound almost realistic, knowing that Todd Blanche would be confirmed.

Such kabuki theater.

Did anybody in Amerikkka fall for it?

Mainers or Alaskans?

Don't "blanch" at this, but the new incompetent and thoroughly corrupted USAG's name anagrams to:

"Bad Clod, Then"

#3 President of what? The South Carolina chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous?

The bile spewing from these rightwing xenophobes in AIPAC's pocket is not mere "Islamophobia" (fear of Muslims), but Islamomisos -- "hatred" of Muslims.

And these poor Muslims make up a mere 1.42% of the entire US population (est. 349,297,111).

As I predicted in Sep and Oct 2025 before Election Day, AIPAC would do everything possible to defeat Democrat Zohran Mamdani because he gives international voice to the down-trodden, like the Palestinians. Leaders in Ontario and Ireland have already invited His Honor to address their legislators and I imagibe a few world leaders would like to shake his hand at UNGA next month.

And Islamomisos should be taken seriously.

When Zohran Mamdani (D) was a mayoral candidate, a Texan was indicted in Queens of plotting to kill him. His Honor is protected by a squad of trained and experienced NYPD Detectives (First Grade), so he will be fine.

But US Senate candidate Dr Abdul-El Sayed (D-MI), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), or Ilhan Omar (D-MN) do not have dedicated PSDs and are therefore vulnerable to "Second Amendment solutions" from MAGAts and Islamomisists inspired by hatemongers such as Nancy Mace, Ben Shapiro, Benny Johnson, Laura Loomer, or any of the other creatures in the rightwing media cesspool on AIPAC's payroll.

Watch for more covert operations against drug cartels in Mexico.

State Dept and USAG will provide the legal and diplomatic cover for XJKs.

There are enough rightwing collaborators in the Mexican security services at the state -- not federal -- level who will work around President Claudia Sheinbaum's federal government.

XJKs are taking place in Ecuador now and we know Cuba ramains a target of the 21st-century incarnation of the Knights of the Golden Circle.

You said it Clownshack.

And the diaper-wearing geriatric pedophile is dangling a nuclear deal with murderous Muhammad Bone Saws if Riyadh would recognize Israel -- a Pariah nation that slaughtered 75,000 of Sunni co-religionists in the Gaza Strip.

But MBS just signed a military alliance with Pakistan and Turkiye, which may be a football end-around play on Dummkopf Trumpf to get nuclear technology without the US. And Canada also signed some deals with MBS, but I'm not sure if they include atomic power issues.

What a world indeed.

Essenzeit!

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Nagasaki nuclear war crime.

Good point.

And on the "Middle Eastern street," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan clearly beats out MBS and the Saudi hypocrites as a "defender of the faith." In fact, it was Erdogan's faction of jihadists that won in Syria, not the Saudis.

Note that all three of these allies have Shia minorities and two have Kurdish minorities.

Pakistan: 21.5 million to over 40 million
Saudi Arabia: 10"15% of overall population
Turkiye: 1-2% (negligible)

The Iranians can covertly foment trouble in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, but not so much in Turkiye. And why would they? These two powers continue a robust economic relationship and they cooperate against militant Kurds (PKK and PJAK).

Ankara has been cracking down on ISIS sympathisizers, so Riyadh is acting more prudent.

From a security standpoint, Ankara appears to gain the most from this cynical arrangement.

And there is always nuclear technology dangling like a carrot on a Pakistani stick in front of the noses of Ankara and Riyadh.

When does ICE deport this Cuban-Canadian migrant?

All three countries are Sunni-dominated authoritarian states without checks and balances.

Turkiye has the strongest military of the three, with power projection capability in the Middle East and North Africa -- and they have the most experience supported by a capable "CIA" (the MIT).

Saudi Arabia has the most money of the three and will buy armaments. They can also covertly fund jihadist groups to foment trouble in certain countries.

Pakistan is basically "an army with a country" and has nuclear weapons, something Ankara and Riyadh don't have.

Nuclear technology might be the "lure of the Siren" that drew Ankara and Riyadh into this military matrimony with Islamabad.

Iran is not the big loser here, Hindu-led India might be.

Turkiye and Saudi Arabia would be compelled to militarily respond at the next flashpoint between Delhi and Islamabad.

And China may be the biggest winner in this new arrangement, as they seem to have excellent economic relations with all three of these countries.

The demented psychopath is now 14 points behind Brook Park City Councilmember Brian Poindexter (D).

Max Miller (R) should just use a pistol "for honorable purposes."

Hi Corky:

Nice pick. Got to see The Zombies three times and lucky enough to get Colin Blunstone's autograph.

Ohio during the US Civil War (1861 - 1865):

"The third most populous state in the Union at the time, Ohio raised nearly 320,000 soldiers for the Union army, third behind only New York and Pennsylvania in total manpower contributed to the military and the highest per capita of any Union state. Several leading generals were from Ohio, including Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, and Philip H. Sheridan. Five Ohio-born Civil War officers would later serve as the President of the United States. "The Fighting McCooks" gained fame as the largest immediate family group ever to become officers in the US Army. 35,475 Ohiohan Union soldiers died."
