BREAKING: Rochester General Hospital in New York hired 82 resident doctors.

80 are foreign workers on H-1B or J-1 visas.
Only 2 are Americans.

98% of the residency slots went to visa workers- mostly from countries with documented USMLE cheating.

Americans got 2 jobs.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The Trump administration has quietly added 37 troops to the Iran war casualty count this week without explanation, 29 Navy sailors and 8 Marines, bringing the total to 880 wounded or dead, per WaPo.

More than half the casualties are now logged under "Overseas Operations" rather than Operation Epic Fury, a reclassification the administration made after the July ceasefire collapsed, with Trump and senior officials claiming since then that the conflict is not a war and Vance saying on September 3 that "right now, there is no active shooting."

It comes a week after as many as five US military deaths are still missing from the same database, a discrepancy that remains unresolved.

One of the most replicable findings in all of American political statistical analysis is that Republicans give significantly more to charity and volunteer more for the poor than democrats do.

It's not even close. It has never been close.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Trump, when privately asked not to go to war with Iran just four days before it started on Feb 28 says "Yes, you’re right. But in the end, we all die anyway. So it doesn’t matter," per Tucker Carlson in a new NPR interview.

Tucker responded "but what about our kids and our grandkids and like our country?" Trump said "Ah" and did not respond.

He also said Trump agreed that the war was not about the nuclear file and was being pushed by Israel for regional hegemony, to weaken the GCC, and to push US bases out.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Atomic and nuclear bombs are in the hands of the Israeli regime, but the inspectors are requested to come to Iran.

Israel has murdered savagely over 70,000 innocents in Gaza, but Iran, while behind the table of negotiation, was bombed.

Israel has the bombs, has weapons of mass destruction, is not a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, during her shameful life has not allowed a single inspection, but they are rewarded by all the means necessary for them to be able to bomb any capital in the region at will.

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.

How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.

Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.

An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.

For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.

By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.

So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.

How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.

At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.

It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.

[Chris Menahan 🇺🇸 @infolibnews]

WATCH: Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who allegedly got Ed Sheeran to kick Macklemore off his tour, receives an award from Israel presented to him by Netanyahu for his commitment to the Zionist project.

"After my family, there is nothing I'm more passionate about than the State of Israel and my Jewish identity," Kraft—who was born in and became a billionaire in America—says.

He pledges to "challenge those who are against Israel" and announces he will spend $20m to fight "anti-Semitism" on social media (targeted at young people) and attack the BDS movement.

Listen to how he touts Israel being "a bastion of free" (while he works to suppress free speech in America).

Kraft also touts how Jewish-Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has pledged $5m to his fund as well (Abramovich later fled Russia for Israel after the Ukraine war broke out).

This award show was held on June 18, 2019. The award he received was Israel's Genesis Prize.

(Note, you can see the late GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson in the crowd at 5:12, and then-US Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman at 6:35.)

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

How unusual: a fanatically pro-Israel billionaire (in this case Robert Kraft) uses his immense power to punish and banish Americans who criticize Israel.

While the ADL claims Jews are uniquely oppressed, this has been happening in every major power center in the US for years:

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Dostoevsky once stood before this painting in Basel: Holbein's "Dead Christ."

It depicts Christ's emaciated, decaying body so convincingly that it shook Dostoevsky to his core. He stood paralyzed before it until his wife dragged him away, and he later wrote it into his novel "The Idiot."

In the novel, a replica hangs in the home of the nihilist Rogozhin. When protagonist Prince Myshkin sees it, he despairs:

"That picture! Why, a man's faith might be ruined by looking at that picture!"

Dostoevsky's intent was to contrast how different characters respond to the picture. Though it shakes him, the prince (a naive optimist and the titular "holy fool") is able to see through the depressing image and identify something worthy of worship. Rogozhin and others, however, see nothing but a merciless world, and it only hardens them more.

The novel also contains the famous phrase, "beauty will save the world," spoken indirectly by Myshkin. This is not some hopeful platitude, but a challenge to all readers...

Beauty can indeed save us, but this hinges on our capacity to see it even through plunging darkness. The spectator can observe beauty through the light or darkness of his own mind, and that is his choice to make.

Dostoevsky later wrote that Hell is the suffering of being unable to love. To paraphrase his contemporary, Leo Tolstoy, "it is not beauty that makes us see love, but love that makes us see beauty."

This is the challenge that Dostoevsky saw in Holbein's painting and that he drew out in each of his great novels, particularly The Idiot.

The challenge is to confront one's Christian convictions with everything that seeks relentlessly to tear them down — and yet to emerge the other side with an even stronger assertion of love and faith.
