In an alternate timeline, Barack Obama never tried to insult Donald Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondent's Dinner, and as a result Al Franken is currently President, gasoline costs $17 a gallon, COVID never happened, all Americans are legally required to wear rainbow stars on their chest during the month of June, Elon Musk is in prison, Marc Elias is a Supreme Court Justice and Russia owns Alaska.

Thank you, Barack Obama.

@BoomerRebo76373 @regularguy300 @elonmusk Yes. To make it even worse, those children are all pregnant women, elderly, doctors and journalists all at the same time.
The humanity! The horror!

This video by @rehoov is the most important ever. Here’s why:

We’ve been inundated by propagandists shouting Nakba Nakba Nakba. The Islamic world has manufactured the term to try invert the Holocaust the Jews suffered and claim one of their own. But the Palestinians never had Nakba.

The real Nakba was that of the Jews of the Middle East. And the UN, Europe and entire Arab Muslim world have tried everything possible to bury this truth for nearly 80 years.

Before, during and after the 1948 war of independence, Israel absorbed nearly one million people who were forced out of Arab lands with nothing. They were given no right of return. No compensation. The world simply forgot and discarded them. But Israel didn’t. We took them in and gave them everything. We had very little, but every Israeli citizen gathered whatever they could to help. We had no special UN agency set up for them. No support. Nobody cared. We did.

Today, there are no Jewish refugees. We did it on our own. No UN. No international community. Yet there are 5.5 million Palestinian refugees today because the UN and Arab world intentionally chose to keep them as eternal refugees and use them as weapons against Israel.

Please watch and share this most incredible documentary. The longer full version is available on YouTube.

@MorEdge_Insight @Zeev81309559 Rather then “no country for you till you do X”, I prefer “we will be taking permanently parts of the land you hope to use for your country every time you do Y, until there is nothing left, then we kick you out completely” method.

People bang on about “Rothschild this” and “Rothschild that”

Did you know Lionel de Rothschild raised about £600,000 for the Irish famine (roughly £80-£81 million in today’s money) - Queen Victoria raised just £2,000.

And now Ireland has become one of the most antisemitic countries in the West.

You’re welcome Ireland 🇮🇪

I think we can all agree after this deal that Israel does not in fact control Donald Trump or America.

So many of you fell for Podcastistan Russian and Islamic propaganda peddled by Iran, Qatar and Turkey.

I wonder if the people who fell for this lie wake up and regret their life decisions.

How embarrassing for them.

Donald Trump is his own man and the United States is a sovereign nation.

“Israel bad” “jew bad” is an opp to help the Red-Green alliance take over America.

At this rate, thanks to propaganda, a Democrat will be President in 2028.

Hopefully people snap out of their Woke Reich hypnosis soon.

@BuckFushmas What about infants? Future soldier, so legitimate target?
Ok, how about disabled people who are exempt forever, are they “theoretical” soldiers, so still OK to kill?
Old people in wheelchairs are they past soldiers so ok to kill?

🚨THIS IS JUDGE LORD JUSTICE TIMOTHY HOLROYDE

This is the judge who REFUSED Lucy Connolly her appeal after she was convicted for a social media post.

Meanwhile this very same judge CUT the sentence of Labour's Lord Ahmed by THREE YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences. His sentence was reduced to just two and a half years from five and half years.

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!!

The dorks clutching their pearls over there being fights at the White House are just upset they’re not doing something classy. Like covering it in rainbows for a topless transexual cocaine party.

Historically this isn’t even that odd. Except Teddy or Andy would want to participate. Abe would probably have a shockingly good ground game. Taft could stand in for Derrick Lewis.

And for the extra super stupid loser dorks crying about how this is “racist”, America is about to cheer on a Brazilian in the hopes he knocks a Frenchman the fuck out. We are sacrificing an American to a Spanish Georgian (I like Justin, but Ilia is gonna murder him). One of the most popular fighters is Mexican. And the fight between two Americans one dude is black and the other is mentally handicapped.

I thought you liberal weenies were into “celebrations of diversity”? 😀

[Uri Kurlianchik @VerminusM]

Every single person Iran killed in Israel during this war was a civilian. They didn't kill a single soldier even by accident.

[Larry Correia @monsterhunter45]

“But what will the rest of the world think of us?” is a bullshit argument.
A. America don’t care.
B. “Rest of the world” is almost always code for global leftists anyway, and the regular people of other countries can’t stand their bossy shit libs either.
Living our lives based on the theoretical approval of an imaginary global monoculture is stupid. Nobody buys this anymore. Just be American and be awesome.

Own it, pedo.

@Hobson19771250 @KosherChutzpah @Noellenarwhal If you think that wall can stop Israel you are a complete moron.
But you are even stupider than that, because the giant border wall is in one place only - between Egypt and Gaza.
It’s a simple fence between rest of Egypt and Israel.
Go away, inbred retard.

[maniak9005 @maniak9006]

@AreTrue @VerminusM Well, of course. The only way to occupy Israel is by killing Jews ( and non-Jews) who live there. So response makes perfect sense.

In 1937, a nineteen-year-old woman graduated summa cum laude from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in chemistry. Her academic record was exceptional. Her determination was absolute.
She applied to fifteen graduate schools. Not one offered her funding.
The rejection letters didn't say she wasn't qualified. They just didn't offer fellowships to women. Laboratories turned her away for the same reason. One employer told her directly he had never considered hiring a female chemist and didn't intend to start. She enrolled briefly in secretarial school because someone suggested it might be more practical. She tried volunteering in a chemistry lab, where the only position available was washing dishes.
Her name was Gertrude Belle Elion — and she was going to change medicine anyway.
Gertrude was born on January 23, 1918, in New York City, the daughter of immigrants. Her father had emigrated from Lithuania and built a dental practice; her mother had arrived from Poland at fourteen. The 1929 stock market crash wiped out the family's savings and reshaped everything, including Gertrude's options. She was able to attend Hunter College only because it was a free public institution and her grades were good enough to get in. Without it, she later said, she might never have received a higher education at all.
Two personal tragedies shaped the scientist she became.
When Gertrude was fifteen, her grandfather died painfully from stomach cancer. She sat with him in his final days and watched doctors unable to do anything to save him. That helplessness gave her a purpose she never abandoned. Then, as a young woman, she lost her fiancé to a sudden infection of the heart. The grief deepened her conviction: she would spend her life fighting the diseases that took the people she loved.
After the fifteen rejections, she found work wherever the doors were open. She taught high school chemistry and physics. She worked as a lab assistant. She took night classes at New York University and earned a master's degree in 1941 — paying her own way, working around the obstacles rather than through them. She never stopped moving toward the science.
In 1944, a door finally opened. She joined Burroughs Wellcome Laboratories and began working alongside biochemist George Hitchings. What they built together over the next four decades would transform medicine.
Rather than testing compounds randomly and hoping something worked, Elion and Hitchings pioneered what became known as rational drug design — understanding the biochemical differences between disease cells and healthy human cells at the molecular level, then creating targeted drugs to attack the disease without destroying the patient. It was a fundamental rethinking of how medicines were made.
The results were extraordinary.
Elion helped develop 6-mercaptopurine — one of the first effective treatments for childhood leukemia. Before it existed, most children diagnosed with leukemia were dead within months. She helped create azathioprine, the immunosuppressant that made organ transplantation medically possible for the first time, giving patients with kidney failure and other conditions a chance at survival they had never had before. Her antiviral work produced acyclovir, a treatment that changed outcomes for herpes encephalitis — a disease that had been almost uniformly fatal — and her foundational research directly paved the way for AZT, one of the first effective treatments for AIDS.
She never stopped working. She never earned a traditional doctorate. She had honorary degrees from institutions that hadn't existed when she was being turned away from graduate school, but she never had the credential the fifteen schools had withheld from her in 1937.
In 1988, Gertrude Elion received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
She was seventy years old.
She wore a bright blue dress to the ceremony in Stockholm so she would be visible among the formally dressed male honorees. The woman fifteen schools had decided wasn't worth funding stood in a room full of the world's most celebrated scientists, collecting the highest honor her field could give.
She kept a file of letters from patients whose lives her work had saved — kidney transplant recipients, children who survived leukemia, parents writing to thank a woman they had never met for giving them back their children. She said that file meant more to her than the Nobel.
"What we were aiming at," she once said, "was getting people well. And the satisfaction of that is much greater than any prize you can get."
The young woman fifteen schools rejected ended up reshaping modern medicine anyway.
She just had to do it without their permission.❤️❤️✡️

@LibbySnowflak Is that why you were returning any refugee from Soviet Union who managed to cross the border back to USSR up until it dissolved?

[𝔼𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕠𝕥 𝕄𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕟 @ElliotMalin]

Yes, @mehdirhasan, we should ignore them. Each one failed to apply the legal standards as required.

Amnesty: “However, its [ICJ] rulings on inferring intent can be read extremely narrowly, in a manner that would potentially preclude a state from having genocidal intent alongside one or more additional motives or goals in relation to the conduct of its military operations. As outlined below, Amnesty International considers this an overly cramped interpretation of international jurisprudence and one that would effectively preclude a finding of genocide in the context of an armed conflict.”

B’tselem: “This report relies on a broader analytical framework…”

The UN Commission of Inquiry did not assess reasonable alternative explanations. The only mention of Hamas’ tunnel infrastructure was to discount the tunnel under the European hospital that Mohammed Sinwar was killed in (and where he directed acts harmful to the “enemy” [e.g. Israel]).

The International Association of Genocide Scholars (of which I’m a dues paying member) did not assess reasonable alternative explanations and discount them (which would defeat the only reasonable inference test).

Human Rights Watch did not actually assess genocide, it said that they concluded acts of genocide without any assessment.

And important to note: Amos Goldberg and Omer Bartov are historians who are not qualified to assess the legal elements of the crime of genocide. Citing to them is a logical fallacy of an appeal to authority that makes zero sense.

Not a single accuser assesses the requirements of the Geneva Conventions, particularly GCIV 19 & 28, and API 51(7). Without understanding the implications of these articles one cannot conclude that the only reasonable inference is genocide.

If each accuser refuses to apply the jurisprudence as it stands today to make their conclusion, the problem is that they have a predetermined conclusion, and that they are fitting an analysis to that conclusion. This is fundamentally flawed.

So, yes, we should ignore all of them.

If you must rely on a confirmation bias with fundamentally flawed analyses that are devoid of the legal analysis that is required today, without being honest about the shift in the jurisprudence that they all require, the problem here is you.

I can state that Israel hasn’t committed genocide under the jurisprudence because I can measure alternative reasonable explanations for Israel’s conduct. None of your citations attempted to do this required analysis.

Genocide is not what you want it to be to convict the Jewish state who had its people taken hostage and Hamas, PIJ, and even Palestinian civilians going door to door slaughtering innocent people because of their membership in either the Israeli or Jewish groups.

The more we do this the more we excuse Hamas for its crimes (including genocide), hostage taking, sexual violence, etc. that it committed against the Israeli people, but also its crimes it has committed against the Palestinian people that purposefully inflicted higher incidental harm to them (human shielding, diversion, torture, persecution, murder, etc.).

Mehdi so badly wants Israel to be guilty of the crime Hamas committed that he will excuse Hamas from culpability for its crimes against Palestinians that would fundamentally negate genocidal intent for Israel (as confirmed by a UN report this last week, by the way).

Mehdi is an evil person, as are all those who portend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Hamas just so they can blame Israel.

My unpopular opinion.

For my sins, I just watched 50 minutes of the Brazil-Morocco soccer match, and there wasn't one shot on goal.

Not one. We're now in the eleventy-third minute, and the score is 1-1.

How is this sport popular? Booooring …

Being a man who doesn't like to point out problems without proposing solutions …

1) As the soccer immortal Pelé said, widen the net. I'd suggest widening it by one meter per year until the average pro team total score of both teams per game is eight.

2) Relax the offside rule.

3) Reduce the number of players in extra time (e.g., remove one player per team every 5 minutes) to create more space and almost force a decisive goal.

4) (my favorite) About a quarter of World Cup games end up in shootouts. So before each game, have a computer pick a random number from 1 to 4, and if it's "1", skip the game and go directly to the shootout … leaves more time for imbibing adult beverages.

Hey, I'm an American. I like action, and by "action" I don't mean a bunch of guys kicking a ball endlessly up and down a field, interspersed with players randomly falling theatrically on the ground …

OK, now you're free to call me an uncouth mouthbreathing barbarian or whatever, but that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

My best to all, soccer fans or not.
