If there’s one thing we Jewish people have learned in the past few weeks it’s this: The world doesn’t care about us as much as we hoped, but we care about each other a lot more than we realized.
Brandon’s post isn’t even a recap of Obama’s derogatory ways. All one has to do is see the polling for when Obama became POTUS and when he left office. Going in, the overwhelming vast majority of the US said race relations would improve. When he left the same % said it got worse.

I shared a clip on @instagram wherein some Muslim(s) were speaking of their genocidal hatred of non-Muslims. Instagram deleted my post because apparently I AM BEING BIGOTED. I share a clip of their genocidal hate but I'm the hateful one for sharing it. @Meta

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
A 69 yo wheelchaired stroke victim Achille Lauro was celebrating his 36th anniversary with his wife on the Italian luxury cruise ship. It was hijacked by the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF). Because he was a Jewish American, he was shot in the head and thrown overboard.
Four armed hijackers executed a 69-year-old disabled American in a wheelchair and threw him overboard into the Mediterranean—only for US Navy fighter jets to ambush their getaway airliner in pitch-black airspace, forcing it down onto a NATO runway for an armed standoff between American commandos and Italian carabinieri.
The reason might surprise you.
On October 7, 1985, the Italian luxury cruise liner MS Achille Lauro was cruising off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt, carrying hundreds of international holidaymakers.
While the majority of passengers had disembarked for a shore excursion to Cairo, four heavily armed militants from the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), led by 23-year-old Youssef Majed al-Molqi, seized the vessel.
Their original plan had been to stay undercover until the ship docked in Ashdod, Israel, to launch a suicide raid on military installations. But when a cabin steward caught them cleaning assault rifles in their state room, they panicked, commandeered the bridge, and held over 400 remaining passengers and crew hostage.
They redirected the cruise liner toward Tartus, Syria, demanding the immediate release of 50 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
When the Syrian government refused to allow the ship to enter port, the hijackers decided to execute a hostage to prove their resolve:
They singled out Leon Klinghoffer, a 69-year-old Jewish-American retired appliance manufacturer from New York who had suffered two severe strokes and was confined to a wheelchair.
Forced onto the open deck, Klinghoffer was shot once in the forehead and once in the chest.
The hijackers then forced two ship crew members at gunpoint to dump Klinghoffer's body and his wheelchair into the open sea.
Fearing international retaliation, PLF leader Muhammad Zaidan (known as Abu Abbas) established radio contact with the ship, ordering the hijackers to steer back toward Port Said, Egypt.
In Cairo, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak arranged a controversial diplomatic compromise:
In exchange for releasing the cruise ship and the remaining hostages unharmed, the hijackers were granted safe passage out of Egypt aboard a commercial EgyptAir Boeing 737 bound for Tunis, alongside Abu Abbas.
President Mubarak publicly claimed the hijackers had already left the country, but US intelligence knew the plane had not yet taken off from Al Maza military airbase.
When President Ronald Reagan learned of Klinghoffer's murder, he issued an immediate directive: intercept the airliner.
On the night of October 10, four F-14 Tomcat fighter jets from the USS Saratoga (Carrier Air Wing 17), supported by an E-2C Hawkeye radar plane, roared off the catapults into the dark Mediterranean sky:
Without using radio transmissions or radar illumination, the F-14s crept up on the EgyptAir flight in complete blackout mode at 34,000 feet south of Crete.
Switching on running lights and drawing within inches of the airliner’s wingtips, the American fighter pilots rocked their wings and radioed the Egyptian pilot directly on emergency frequencies: "Divert your heading to Sigonella, or face interception."
Flanked on both wings by armed Tomcats, the airliner had no choice but to follow the escorts down to Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily.
The crisis, however, didn't end on the tarmac. It triggered a near-shooting standoff between two NATO allies:
As soon as the airliner touched down at midnight, US Navy SEAL Team Six operators surrounded the plane in tactical gear.
Within minutes, fifty Italian Carabinieri and military police surrounded the Navy SEALs with submachine guns, drawing down on the Americans.
Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi insisted that because the aircraft had landed on sovereign Italian soil and the hijacking occurred on an Italian-flagged ship, Italy retained absolute legal jurisdiction.

Please follow this entire thread.
Tucker Carlson is deranged. He accuses me personally of ignoring a US citizen allegedly attacked in Judea/Samaria by Israelis & says I "blew him off." Tucker knows how to contact me, but he'd rather make unfounded accusations than get facts.
Here is a timeline of Embassy Jerusalem American Citizen Services' interactions on this case. We have never been able to speak directly to the father, (name redacted) who was allegedly injured in an attack by settlers, only to his son in Chicago, (name redacted). The son has repeatedly asked that he be the only person with whom we speak with.
19 Oct – ACS received an email from (son) alleging his father had been attacked at his home in Turmusaya by settlers and was now at Istishari Hospital in Ramallah. We called the son in Chicago the same day and asked for contact information for his father which he was unwilling to provide. We followed up the same day with an email to (son).
20 Oct – We followed up with another email to (son) asking for contact information. (Son) asked us to call him. We called the son twice that day and there was no answer. We called the hospital in Ramallah several times but were unable to reach anyone.
21 Oct – Received another email from (son) saying his father was undergoing surgery at the hospital. We called the son in Chicago who said he would send contact information for next of kin in the WB which we didn’t receive. He stated he didn’t want to pursue the matter with the local authorities and said family members would travel from the States to the WB and wanted assurances they wouldn’t be denied entry at the airport.
22 Oct – We spoke again with (son) who subsequently wrote in an email…”Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and for your understanding regarding the tragic incident involving my father. Thank you again for your time, support, and assistance during this difficult time.” We responded in an email that we would like to speak directly with his father or his uncle and asked for local contact numbers. We didn’t receive any numbers. We received another email that same day saying his brother and mother were traveling to the WB from the States and he wanted assurances that they would be allowed in. We also received medical reports and photos passed to us from the son showing the wounds of his father.
23 Oct – We called the hospital in Ramallah but were unable to reach the father.
26 Oct – We called the (son) in Chicago, but no answer. We left a message asking if the brother and mother had arrived and contact numbers for them. We haven’t received a response or contact numbers.
Tucker, you can apologize when you find your conscience & acknowledge the facts.
Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.

Michigan Republicans are SHOWING UP. 🔥
Ari Fleischer just reported that Democrat early-vote turnout is up 21% in Harris counties, while turnout for Mike Rogers is up 27%.
Republicans are out-hustling the Democrats in early voting in a state they swore was safe.
Keep going, Michigan. Vote Rogers.

An IDF soldier was just indicted for spying for Iran.
Arrested in September. Worked with Iranian handlers for nearly a year.
He passed them sensitive info on his unit’s operations, IDF readiness and emergency call-ups (including his own during Operation Roaring Lion), locations of bases, photos of interceptors, military vehicles, and even American refueling aircraft sitting in Israel.
Paid in crypto.
He also handed over personal details on fellow soldiers and commanders so Iran could try to recruit them. Shared a Telegram group for future enlistees so the Iranian handler could join it. Offered $200,000 to fly to Iran.
Knew exactly who he was talking to. Did it anyway.
This is how the enemy operates. Money, Telegram, dumb phones, cover stories. They don’t need geniuses. They need greedy, weak, or stupid ones wearing the uniform.
Throw the book at him. Full sentence. No mercy.
Every single one of these traitors must be made an example.

The egg supply was disrupted by the outbreak of an illness which forced the culling of 120 million egg-laying hens.
Are you blaming Israel for the Avian Flu or for your lack of understanding of how the economic concept of supply and demand works?
Qatar is NOBODY's friend. They helped fund 10/7. They are trying to take over Israel and if you don't think they are trying to same with the US you're not following the money. They are heavily invested in our media and universities for this exact reason.
The 2012 DNC (Convention) should have been the wake up cal and here's the proof.

So Judaism, which is an ethnicity, shouldn’t have a state, but Islam, which is a religion, should have over 50.
Got it.
You hate Jews.

Eyal nailed it. You won't find reports about this attack especially by US media. Not even Newsmax is covering this yet, my Red Alert app shows the attack.

One of the things I enjoy most about Israeli election time is watching western mainstream media making absolute fools of themeselves as they show how little they understand about Israel, Israelis and Israeli politics.
It really is as if they live in their own ficticious world.

From a War Department official:
“Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who was part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired by Secretary Hegseth for severe misconduct. Although Sylvia’s title was director of the Directorate for Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, known inside the military as the J5, he was NOT a central planner for the Iran War. That is the responsibility of CENTCOM and its commander Admiral Cooper.
Sylvia is the subject of an investigation for leaking classified information about the Iran War, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and more. Due to the Pentagon’s media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon in order to leak classified information.
Sylvia failed three polygraphs which questioned him about leaking classified information. The investigation into him remains ongoing and has been referred to the Department of Justice for further action. The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security. Urgent action was needed and could not wait another second.”

Hey Tucker, can you explain how Israel is an ethnostate when Arabs got 17 fucking seats in the election?
You absolute fucking douchebag.
