Cynical is absolutely fucking right. Watching supposed America First conservatives lose their goddamn minds over an election while conveniently forgetting nearly half a century of Iranian terrorism is infuriating.

For decades, this murderous theocracy has taken Americans hostage, slaughtered American servicemen, armed terrorists who killed our troops, funded Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, plotted assassinations on American soil, and pursued nuclear ambitions while threatening the destruction of America and Israel. We've spent generations watching these fanatical bastards wage war against us while Washington responded with endless diplomatic bullshit, sanctions, and empty threats.

How many American bodies does this regime get to pile up before somebody finally says ENOUGH?

And now we're supposed to believe losing congressional seats outweighs preventing these lunatics from acquiring nuclear weapons?

Fuck that.

We can criticize the war's execution, demand accountability, and recognize the political damage. But Trump may have faced intelligence suggesting the window to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions was closing. None of us knows everything sitting on the president's desk.

If he chose to protect future generations of Americans at the expense of his own political fortunes, that's leadership worth defending.

I'd rather lose Congress than gamble America's future on the goodwill of the fucking ayatollahs.

I’ve come to realize that our democracy will likely collapse at some point. The majority of voters are ignorant of history and ignorant of economics and ignorant of how the world functions. Ignorant people are very gullible and can be brainwashed by propaganda. We will vote on people and policies that will degrade our prosperity and quality of life to the point of no return. If this is not depressing enough we have a low birth rate that will cause social collapse in just three or four generations.

Voters do not research economic facts. Voters opinions are based on a perception of reality based on what they are told. If the Democrats and their minions in the press tell them things are very bad that will become their opinion and they will vote accordingly.

Republicans are standing in the smoking fucking wreckage of the midterms, staring at a political catastrophe they helped create, while Democrats sharpen the knives and prepare to turn their victory into a full-scale assault on Trump's remaining presidency.

And the sheer magnitude of this self-inflicted disaster ought to make every conservative in America absolutely furious.

Republicans had an economic recovery to defend and couldn't explain basic fucking inflation. They secured the border and let immigration enforcement become a goddamn publicity circus. They confronted Iran and buried the mission beneath shifting deadlines, contradictory promises, and endless confusion.

Every screwup handed Democrats another weapon. Every wasted opportunity cost political ground. And while Republicans were busy congratulating themselves, Democrats were busy kicking their asses.

Now comes the reckoning.

Democrats control Congress. Subpoenas, investigations, blocked judicial appointments, legislative obstruction, and two years of relentless political warfare are suddenly on the table. The same political establishment that spent years trying to bury Trump now has the congressional machinery to make his remaining presidency a living fucking hell.

And that's merely the opening nightmare.

Give Democrats unified control of Washington in 2028, and the institutional changes they've spent years advocating become terrifyingly attainable. Pack the Supreme Court. Kill the filibuster. Add states that reshape Senate power. Gut immigration enforcement. Resurrect their crusade against American energy.

They could spend years rewriting the rules of American politics.

And Republicans are still pissing away precious time on personality feuds, petty grievances, social-media dick-measuring contests, and officials who apparently think their government jobs come with fucking reality-show contracts.

What an embarrassing spectacle.

Trump still commands the executive branch. He retains enormous foreign-policy authority. He has opportunities to consolidate his achievements and protect his agenda.

But every goddamn month wasted brings 2028 closer.

Every unnecessary feud burns political capital. Every publicity stunt hands Democrats another opportunity. Every failure of discipline leaves another accomplishment vulnerable.

Victor Davis Hanson warned that winter is coming.

Well, the temperature just dropped through the fucking floor.

Republicans have two years to get their shit together, govern effectively, and recognize the scale of what's approaching.

Because when the clock finally runs out, nobody will give a flying fuck about their clever tweets, their television appearances, or their endless excuses.

The only question that will matter is whether they used the power they still possessed while they had the chance.

And if they blow that opportunity, the ruins will have their fingerprints all over them.

The failure wasn’t responding to Iran.
The failure was refusing to follow through, believing that a murderous mullah regime wants peace, and participating in MOU theater.

[David Wurmser @Wurmserscribit]

The Shin Bet (Israel’s FBI) had the information just before the voting began.

The head of the Shin Bet sought an urgent meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the security information hours before the election began.

The attorney general, who is strongly toward the left, used every power available to her to block this meeting.

In fact, it is now coming out that the dangerous situation of fraud was brought to the attention of the Attorney General five or six DAYS before the ejection, and she still blocked every attempt by the Shin Bet to brief the prime minister.

Why?

⭕️ THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ANALYSIS: EISENKOT IS RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS — AND NETANYAHU MAY HOLD ALL THE CARDS

Eisenkot is facing some very difficult political choices, and nearly every path available to him risks damaging his political future ahead of the next election.

Despite massive financial backing from anti-Netanyahu interests and overwhelmingly favorable coverage from Israel's left-wing media, Eisenkot still failed to deliver the decisive victory his supporters expected.

If he couldn't defeat Netanyahu under these circumstances, what makes anyone believe he will be in a stronger position next time?

In my assessment, Eisenkot has reached his political peak. From here, the road can only lead downward.

His most realistic option may be to join Netanyahu in a national unity government, secure a meaningful position, and preserve his political relevance.

MY PREDICTION: Both Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett will eventually join a Netanyahu-led government.

Politics is about power, leverage, and survival. And right now, Netanyahu appears to have more of all three.

The irony? After everything invested in removing Bibi, his political rivals may end up needing him more than he needs them.

[Uri Kurlianchik @VerminusM]

Eric Hoffer wrote this article about Israel almost 60 years go. It reads like it was written yesterday.

"The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it, Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese-and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.
Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.
Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.
No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him.
The Swedes, who are ready to break of diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.
I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us."

[Saggezza Eterna @FinalTelegraph]

Kamala Harris just went to New Hampshire and read out the Democratic platform: "For the last year and a half, we have been pissed. We've been depressed. We've been angry." Then she added that some of them have been cursing at the TV and "throwing things."

So that's the closing argument. Burn through a billion dollars, lose every swing state, then ask voters to hand the Senate to the people throwing things at their televisions.

The rest of America spent that year and a half going to work. Nine days out, Democrats are offering group therapy as a governing agenda. New Hampshire, send Sununu and let them keep cursing at the TV.

On this day—October 25, 1934

Harvard’s “Jewish problem” is nothing new.

This day, the university held a mock trial of Adolf Hitler. All testimony about Nazi persecution of Jews was ruled irrelevant, and a panel of Harvard professors acquitted him on two of four charges.

The very same Harvard warmly welcomed Hitler’s foreign press chief and personal associate, Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl, only months earlier. The Harvard Crimson had argued he deserved “the marks of honor appropriate to his high position in the government of a friendly country.”

Harvard maintained ties with Nazified German universities, hosted Nazi officials and naval officers, and limited Jewish enrollment. Events in 2023 and 2024 proved the legacy endured, as Harvard became a national symbol of campus antisemitism after October 7.

[Saul Sadka @Saul_Sadka]

New low for normalized Jew-hate in the American Democratic Party. Very sad:

Painting your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this El-Sayed ad does, and as crazed baby-killers and money-grubbing villains who are the root cause of every bad thing not just in the world, but in your life—from wars to the price of eggs to the reason you can’t have free healthcare—is not just low-grade Jew-hate. It’s pure Third Reich stuff, translated directly from the original German.

Do you remember when Jewish Democrats in Michigan explained that they would vote for El-Sayed despite his open disdain for Jews, since there are many other important issues they need him to fight for? That anything was worth it to “defeat MAGA”?

Well, here’s El-Sayed’s answer to them: Don’t worry, all those issues we agree on, like healthcare, inflation, and climate change, I’m going to make them about Jews too! I will tell the public that the Jews are the reason they can’t have those things.

Barack Obama, Known as Barry, Exposes the Soul of the Democrat Party with His Cheesecake Factory Racism

Barack Obama is the filthiest, most dangerous fraud to ever occupy the White House, a slick-tonged, race-baiting con artist who spent eight years dividing this nation and has spent the years since trying to destroy anyone who stands in his way.

He is a dirty rat who crawled out of the shadows of Chicago politics to sell a lie to the American people, a lie that he is some kind of benevolent genius when in reality he is a incompetent, racist, and power-hungry failure who left our country weaker, poorer, and more divided than he found it. And now, this pathetic loser has the audacity to open his mouth again, spewing his venomous lies from a stage in Ohio, trying to pretend he cares about the very people he has abandoned.

Let us look at the facts, because Obama certainly does not:

This man, who claims to be so concerned about "democracy" and "norms," just spent his latest rally mocking the President of the United States with the kind of racist, classist rhetoric that would get any other politician canceled in a heartbeat. He stood in Cleveland, Ohio, a state he knows nothing about and cares even less for, and compared the White House renovations to "Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory." Let that sink in. The first black President of the United States, a man who built his entire brand on being a civil rights icon, just compared the American presidency to a brutal Iraqi dictator and a cheesy American restaurant chain. It is racist, it is classist, and it is utterly disgusting. He is mocking the idea of American grandeur, mocking the idea of a strong presidency, and mocking the very people who believe in making America great again.

But this is who Obama is. He is a man who has spent his entire career attacking anyone who dares to challenge his narrative. He attacked the Trump administration for everything, from its immigration policies to its economic success, all while his own administration was a revolving door of scandals, corruption, and failure. He tried to destroy Trump with the Russia hoax, a complete and total fabrication that wasted billions of dollars and years of time, only to find nothing. He tried to undermine the 2016 election results, the 2020 election results, and now the 2024 election results, because he cannot accept that the American people do not want his socialist agenda. He is a sore loser, a bitter man who cannot stand the fact that his legacy is one of failure and division.

Let us talk about his record, because it is a disaster. Under Obama, we saw the rise of ISIS, a terrorist organization that he mocked as being on the "JV team." We saw the Benghazi attack, where four Americans were killed while he played golf. We saw the IRS scandal, where his administration targeted political opponents. We saw the Fast and Furious scandal, where his administration walked guns into Mexico. We saw the VA scandal, where veterans were left to die while waiting for care. And we saw the creation of Obamacare, a healthcare law that has driven up costs, reduced coverage, and destroyed the American healthcare system. He is a man who has failed on every single issue he has ever touched, yet he has the audacity to lecture us on competence.

And now he wants to talk about the economy? This is the man who presided over the slowest economic recovery in history, a recovery that only happened after Trump took office and dismantled his destructive policies. Obama's regulations crushed small businesses, his energy policies destroyed jobs, and his tax hikes hurt the very people he claims to care about. He is a man who has never created a job, never balanced a budget, and never achieved anything in the private sector. He is a professional politician, a parasite who feeds on the success of others while contributing nothing of value himself.

His racism is not subtle. It is not hidden. It is out in the open for everyone to see. He uses race as a weapon, a tool to divide and conquer, to pit Americans against each other for his own political gain. He is the one who stoked the flames of racial tension, who told minorities that they are victims, that they are oppressed, that they are powerless without him. He is the one who created the narrative of systemic racism, a narrative that has done more harm to minority communities than any policy in history. He is a racist who uses race to advance his own agenda, and he should be ashamed of himself.

The Cheesecake Factory remark is just the latest example of his complete and total lack of class, dignity, and respect for the office he once held. He is a man who has sunk to the lowest possible level, mocking the President and the American people with his pathetic jokes and his racist rhetoric. He is a man who has lost all credibility, all honor, and all shame. He is a disgrace to the office of the President, a disgrace to the Democratic Party (if you can get any lower than that), and a disgrace to the American people.

We must not let him forget. We must not let him off the hook. We must hold him accountable for every lie, every betrayal, every moment of treasonous behavior. We must expose him for the fraud he is, the liar he is, the absolute failure he is. He is a loser, a tool, a moron, and a traitor. He is everything wrong with Washington, everything wrong with the Democratic Party, and everything wrong with the radical left. He is a man who has spent his life trying to destroy America, and he will fail. The truth will come out. The lies will be exposed.

And Barack Obama will be left with nothing but the wreckage of his own pathetic, dishonest, and treasonous career. He is a man who has nothing to offer but lies, nothing to give but pain, and nothing to be but a warning of what happens when power goes unchecked and morality goes extinct. Barack Obama is a disgrace, and the world will be a better place when he is finally gone.

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

StopAntisemitism is extremely concerned to see @CapitalOne employee Cedric Knight post the following antisemitic rhetoric on his public social media profile:

- "Synagogue of Satan, your days are numbered" referring to the world's only Jewish country
- Stating Christians, not Jews, are the "true people of Israel"
- Calls to cancel July 4th over claims of Israeli control
- Praises Iran and wishes for the "annihilation" of the United States.

These views are deeply concerning, especially for any Jewish coworkers who may work alongside Cedric Knight.
