Three years ago, around 6,000 Arabs from Gaza invaded Israel and butchered families, children, elderly folks— anyone in sight, even pets. Around 5,000 rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza during this day. The goal was complete annihilation.

1,200 people in Israel were slaughtered on October 7. Of them, 73 were children, 2 were babies. 3,400 people survived with injuries, 90% of which were gunshot wounds. (Israel has not reported what percentage of the injured were children.)

251 people were taken back to Gaza as hostages and slaves. 36 of them were children.

168 tortured souls returned alive, 8 rescued and the rest traded in exchange for convicted terorrists. Only 34 children were returned alive. Both Bibas children, Ariel, 4 years old, and his baby brother Kfir, 9 months old, were choked to death by Palestinian hands.

Some families were annihilated in full on October 7, parents mudered along with their children. The Kedem-Siman Tov family and the Kutz family are gone. Other families had one family member remaining to live with the torture of absolute loss. 359 children lost at least one parent that day. 30 children were left as orphans.

The level of brutality and violence was unspeakable. Torture and sadism beyond normal comprehension. The burnings; the mutilated limbs; the rapes. The Arabs even forced Jewish children to perform unspeakable incestuous acts.

Certain people around the world watched all this unfold and decided that they hated Jews so much that they started celebrating the horrors. Antisemitism skyrocketed around the world after that day.

But Israel remained strong.

It took Israel 20 days to make entry into Gaza with a ground offensive. The “free Palestine” movement started the disinformation campaign that Israel was committing a “genocide” in Gaza on October 13—a full 14 days before the IDF even entered Gaza. They ignored the Arabs’ intent of Genocide that started the fighting in the first place.

Israel fought in Gaza to bring back the hostages and to destroy the terrorist infestation for 713 days. 470 Israeli soldiers laid down their lives in Gaza for the survival of their people, many of those lives lost due to the IDF’s overly-cautious urban warfare tactics that favored saving enemy civilians in Gaza. 612 Israeli children lost a father serving in Gaza.

Gaza was cleared of much of the evil that had infested it, albeit not in full. For the past year, not a single rocket has been fired out of Gaza into Israel.

4,000 of the 6,000 Palestinian invaders have been brought to justice. Israel vows to find the remaining 2,000.

Never forget. Never forgive.

Am Yisrael chai.

@SInow Did any actual research go into declaring Northern Illinois a “long feared MAC power?”

Decent - sure. Feared - uh, no.

Me—her oldest sister. I’ll watch Valentina when my parents can’t. In fact, all my siblings argue over who will get to take care of her in the future. Only a selfish sicko would assume her siblings do not love her and would not instinctually take care of her when my parents are gone. You people are cold, egocentric, eugenic monsters.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

9 days after experts in the NY Times said men would never fly, Orville and Wilbur took off. 66 years later, we landed on the moon. Today, we rescued a pilot stranded in Iran with no loss of American life while also setting up a spaceship to orbit the moon. America is awesome.

Akron gets the automatic bid.

Miami (OH) gets the at-large bid.

That’s my prediction.

MAC gets two teams in for the first time since 1999.

Just my opinion. Which is correct, of course.

It’s more and more clear that October 7 was for Islamic radicals what Pearl Harbor was for the Japanese—a brilliant tactical success that carried within it the seeds of catastrophic strategic failure
