#21: Hi Corky, well done. And only 21% of Arab-Americans voted for Dotard Trumpf, 20% voted Kamala Harris, while Jill Stein grabbed the lion's share of their measly vote at 59%. Between the winning 2020 and losing 2024 elections, Democrats lost 6,265,888 votes. If we liberally subtract the entire 1,698,570 Arab-American vote (1.1% of the US population), that leaves us with 4,567,318. Green Party candidate Jill Stein won 628,129 votes across the US (doing best in New Jersey). That leaves 3,939,189 Democrats unaccounted for nationwide in 2024.

An AIPAC talking point is that Arab-Americans tipped the scales for Trumpf and are now in the 'Find Out' stage of FAFO for that support. You read it here on Drudge Retort from both the trolls and some bloggers. But only 21% of Arab-Americans voted for Trumpf, the same percentage of Jews that voted for him. The Palestinians have been in the 'Find Out' stage since 1948 but now Arabs in the US are being blamed for the 2024 Democratic Party loss.

This Islamophobic scapegoating has been effective AIPAC meme to deflect away from the fact that on 5 Nov 2024, nearly four million antiwar Americans stayed home in disgust rather than vote for either the Democrats or the Republicans, just like in 1968 when antiwar Democrats stayed home in disgust rather than vote for Richard Nixon or George Wallace. Both political parties in 1968 were complicit in supporting an unpopular regime in Saigon, just as both parties in 2024 have been complicit in supporting an unpopular regime in Jerusalem. But in 2024 the hardworking American taxpayer became sick and tired of subsidizing the ethnic cleansing, maiming, and starving of Palestinians, and all the blood it puts on our hands.

You can see how much AIPAC funds both the Democrats and Republicans in the links below. Note that US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) do not take a shekel from AIPAC. US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) must go.

***** ZERO SYMPATHY FOR THEM *******

"But, but I didn't vote for this."

The story behind the story and why this couple deserves ZERO sympathy:

As Argentines, this couple knows full well the malevolence that a right-wing autocratic dictatorship can afflict on a people. Argentina suffered under fascist rule from from ~1976 to 1983. The "Dirty War" led to thousands and thousands of disappearances, children abducted to provide families for military officers unable to procreate, and torture in the prisons. Estimates of victims killed range from 22,000 to 30,000.

And this racist dope in that little hamlet out of harm's way fkkked himself over when he had a terrific little gig going making money for himself hand over fist. Sidenote: During his mob career, Benjamin "Lefty" Ruggiero got away with a score of assassinations without ever getting caught, possibly 27 victims. "Lefty" was finally convicted on RICO charges thanks to FBI SA Agent Joseph Pistone. But "Lefty" got away with a lifetime of killing, never convicted of a single homicide.

The IRA would be embarrassed by this idiot Irishman and his stupid racism.

#21: Hi Doc: "Don't overstay on their visa?" Hah! The US will be lucky to get anybody to come next year. Here is just one AI estimate:

In summary, while there is no specific number of tourists expected to stay away, the combination of visa issues, political climate, and safety concerns suggests that there could be a noticeable reduction in the number of international visitors to the US during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

In 2026, the FIFA mega-tournament takes place in Canada, Mexico, and the US. California will host about a dozen games. But no planner thought that Dotard Trumpf would be President, much less operate a ruthless police state in America. How many foreigners are going to avoid DHS and ICE in America next year? Canadians and Mexicans and their two new leaders will enjoy the spectacle next year, but what about Americans? Data below shows that Republicans are not huge soccer fans, preferring UFC, golf, or NASCAR. So, who is going to attend these soccer games in the US? Soccer moms and Democrats only? The idiotic Trumpf junta was an unforeseen calamity for the FIFA organization.

I have driven through Chester, NY and am glad that I never stopped there.

The economics of John J. Reilly III's folly:

The median value of a home in Chester, NY is $399,000, the median household income is $147,000, and the average annual salary for a Highway Superintendent in New York State is $129,718. In essence, John J. Reilly III was living, pardon the pun, the Life of Riley in his 64% white majority hamlet of 12,588 people while enjoying his well-paying sinecure. But that wasn't enough for him, so he also sold firearms using his FFL. But Mr. Reilly is being investigated by the ATF after he shot the poor guy in the back with an illegal weapon.

BLUF: This imbecile had it real good until he tripped over his own hatred and racism. Now the ATF is dismantling John J. Reilly III's firearm trafficking business, he will lose his $129,718 per annum sinecure, and he will be facing state and federal charges. This dope threw away his life away "protecting his property."

Last century Ronald Reagan established Soto Cano-- AKA the "forgotten" base-- in Honduras, another vestige of the "Monroe Doctrine" and American imperialism. Now used to combat drug trafficking, JTF-Bravo has done little to stop the tide of drugs entering the US. This network of FOBs in Honduras is similar to the French strategy used in Vietnam, famously known for losing the Battle of Dien Bien Phu (1954). The French military wanted to intercept the opium traffic which subsidized both them and the Vietminh guerillas who sold them in Thailand. To that end, the French established their fortress in a northern remote part of the country, but eventually lost the siege and Vietnam as a colony. Two CIA pilots supporting the French were KIA, the first US casualties of the Vietnam War.

Murder-Death-Kill: Israel Slaughters 31 Human Beings

Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed at least 31 people as its more than two-month blockade of the besieged and bombarded enclave has caused acute food shortages, accelerating starvation of the Palestinian population. This genocide has been subsidized by the hardworking American taxpayer thanks to the efforts of AIPAC and US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who capitulated on the GOP budget in mid-March, greenlighting Nakba 2025. AIPAC's Islamophobic messaging program over the past several decades has de-sensitized Americans to the plight of Palestinians, as you could read here from certain bloggers on Drudge Retort. A frequent AIPAC talking point is that the Palestinians in Gaza or Arab-American voters in the US are somehow responsible for their horrendous situation, much like blaming the Apache or Sioux tribes of 19th-century North America for their own demise.

Anybody want to bet the shooter is a Republican?

John J. Reilly is charged with three felonies: Assault in the First Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, and Criminal Possession of a Firearm.

Note Bene: The suspect is a federal firearms dealer and is charged with criminal possession of a firearm, hence the ATF is also investigating this maniac and his arsenal.

An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard belongs to the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF), a secretive homophobic and Islamophobic cult based in Hawaii. A Putin apologist, the US Senate should never have confirmed Gabbard as ODNI to oversee the USIC, much like Pete Hogsbreath to lead the DOD. US national security is in horrendous shape thanks to Putin protege Dotard Trumpf.

'UN: Gaza Has Highest Number of Child Amputees Per Capita in the World'

Israel has also orphaned 19,000 children, courtesy of the hardworking American taxpayer, AIPAC, and US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). You can see who accepts AIPAC money in the fourth link below. Gosh, I wonder how the Democrats lost 6,265,888 votes from 2020 to 2024? Note that there are 3.5m Arab-Americans in the US, 25% are Lebanese-American and not all of them are old enough to vote. An AIPAC talking point is to blame the Arab-Americans for not voting for Kamala Harris, shifting blame to the victims.

#13: Each F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet costs the American taxpayer between $55 million and $72 million apiece. I hope the crew survived. Trumpf had announced that he stopped the costly bombing campaign of the starving Houthis which only served to harden their resolve while wasting US military resources. The Houthis have retaliated on behalf of the poor Palestinians, including a successful missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport the other day.

Canada PM Mark Carney Conferred With Dotard Trumpf in White House

Mark Carney told the Dotard that his country would be "never for sale" as they met at the White House amid tensions on tariffs and sovereignty. In their first Oval Office meeting, Trumpf insisted to the recently elected Carney that it would be a "wonderful marriage" if Canada agreed to his repeated calls to become the 51st US state.

But afterward both leaders hailed the talks as having made progress -- even if Carney said he had asked Trumpf in private to stop calling for Canada to join the US.

"As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale," Carney told property tycoon Trumpf, comparing Canada to the Oval Office itself and to Britain's Buckingham Palace.

After the two-hour meeting both leaders struck a positive tone. Carney told a press conference that the trade talks were "complex" but that his two-hour discussions with Trumpf were "very constructive."
