Obama Administration Sent Guns To Drug Cartels The Obama administration’s botched Operation Fast and Furious, which provided weapons used in hundreds of crimes and killing sprees in Mexico, was broader than previously thought: Univision reported that the effort wasn’t just limited to one ATF office in Arizona — it had other operations in Florida and Texas as well. The ATF and Department of Justice lost more weapons than they have so far acknowledged, and those weapons have been tied to even more murders than previously thought — including a massacre of teens and young adults..... “....On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party. . .Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled. Indirectly, the United States government played a role in the massacre by supplying some of the firearms used by the cartel murderers....” Although Operation Fast and Furious occurred entirely under the Obama administration, President Obama has falsely claimed that it began “under the previous administration.” In reality, as ABC’s Jack Tapper and others have noted, “Fast & Furious started in the fall of 2009, 9 months after President Obama was sworn in.” ....As the revelations about this scandal continue, more lawmakers have called for the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder, who was held in contempt by Congress for allegedly withholding documents about Fast and Furious. ....The Office of the Inspector General recently cleared Holder of deliberate wrongdoing after an 18-month-long investigation that some critics have derided as a whitewash designed to give the administration an excuse to avoid handing over incriminating documents to Congress during that 18-month period..... Meanwhile, Holder has drawn significant criticism not only for Fast and Furious, but also for his politicization of the Justice Department through partisan Justice Department hiring, especially in the Civil Rights Division, and through ideologically motivated prosecutions that violate free speech, and retaliation against whistle blowers..... https://cei.org/blog/obama-administration-sent-guns-to-drug-cartels/

A mom shielding her son from gunmen and a ‘pro-peace’ academic are among the Americans killed in Israel .....Deborah Matias, an American citizen who lived in Israel, was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen while shielding her teenage son from their bullets, her father told CNN. Hayim Katsman, an Israeli-American academic, had been hiding in a closet with his neighbor when he was fatally shot, his sibling said. They are among at least 11 US citizens who were killed in Israel after the Gaza-based militant group launched a devastating attack early Saturday that has left at least 900 people there dead.....There are also Americans who remain unaccounted for.....it is “likely” some are among those being held hostage by Hamas..... .....In response to the attack, Israel has pounded Gaza with airstrikes. More than 680 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza’s health ministry, and medical care has been complicated by Israel cutting power to the territory. It’s unclear whether any US citizens are among those killed or injured in Gaza.....Ilan Troen said he was on the phone with his daughter when she was killed.....Troen, a professor emeritus from Brandeis University in Massachusetts, said his daughter and son-in-law, Deborah and Shlomi Matias, were killed by Hamas militants over the weekend. Troen’s grandson, 16-year-old Rotem Matias, was shot but will survive..... .....Rotem hid for more than 12 hours after he was shot, texting on his phone to communicate with people who were coaching him on how to breathe and how to manage “the blood that was coming out of his abdomen,” Troen said, adding Rotem’s phone was down to a 4% charge when he was rescued.....Hayim Katsman’s friend, Avital Alajem, described how she was hiding inside a shelter’s closet with Katsman when gunmen came and began firing at the door – striking Katsman multiple times......“He was murdered,” Alajem told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in Israel, early Tuesday. “I was saved because he was next to the door and they shot him.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/09/us/us-victims-israel-gaza/index.html

BEFORE JOINING WHITE HOUSE, KARINE JEAN-PIERRE SLAMMED NETANYAHU FOR ALLEGED WAR CRIMES AGAINST GAZANS .....Jean-Pierre applauded Democrats for skipping the AIPAC convention back in 2019, calling out its “racist, Islamophobic” rhetoric.....DURING THE 2020 presidential campaign, Karine Jean-Pierre applauded the decision by every Democratic candidate to skip the annual conference put on by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, better known as AIPAC. She slammed it for “racist, Islamophobic” rhetoric and for inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak. Netanyahu, Jean-Pierre correctly noted, was facing allegations of war crimes and a raft of corruption charges......Though Netanyahu still faces those allegations, and many more, Jean-Pierre has defended Netanyahu’s bombardment of Gaza in her current role as press secretary for President Joe Biden.. ...“Netanyahu not only has personal charges levied against him—he’s been indicted on both bribery and fraud charges—but under his leadership of Israel, according to the United Nations, Israel may have committed war crimes in its attacks on Gazan protesters,” Jean-Pierre wrote in a March 2019 column in Newsweek......“It’s time to call a spade a spade,” she continued. “AIPAC is not progressive. You cannot call yourself a progressive while continuing to associate yourself with an organization like AIPAC that has often been the antithesis of what it means to be progressive.”....Jean-Pierre at the time was a spokesperson and senior adviser to the liberal group MoveOn, a former Obama administration official, and a commentator for MSNBC..... .....Jean-Pierre herself has been dubbed “anti-Israel” by critics. When she was named to replace Jen Psaki as White House spokesperson, her Newsweek column resurfaced. “Amidst all the celebration of Biden’s new press secretary checking multiple boxes in identity politics,” Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel David Friedman told Haaretz, “the mainstream media forgot to mention that she hates Israel.” ...... Richard Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence under Trump, also said to Haaretz: “Has there ever been a White House spokesperson so hostile to Israel?” https://theintercept.com/2023/11/02/karine-jean-pierre-israel-netanyahu-aipac/

Good find there @Gepetto Thanks for contributing to the thread and hope you continue to keep adding to it as well. All the best.

That's wasn't the design by Team Blue, the DNC, the corporate establishment and the remnants of the Obama/Biden machine. There is a majority of Conservative Catholics, from the Federalist Society feeder system, on SCOTUS right now. The point of having so much propaganda against Christians and the false claims that the entire LGBT community was under constant threat of death/attack/full on cleansing was to incite fringe radical leftists, the hard edge extremists, to pick off Conservative SCOTUS. You can only reload SCOTUS through death or retirement. Since 2024 looks hazy to hold onto POTUS for Team Blue, they wanted and needed to wipe out Conservative Catholics TODAY. RIGHT NOW. Which is why so many attacks on Pro Life centers and Catholic Churches was simply ignored by Merrick Garland. All the people that Audrey Hale murdered, and all the suffering and damage created was simply collateral damage to the identity politics fueled radical activist left. ( I am not dragging traditional liberals into that. I have no quarrel with traditional liberals) There are many good people out there who happened to be "liberal" They see problems differently. They see solutions differently. But many are just trying to get by and survive like everyone else. However I've never met a "leftist" worth a single damn anywhere. Never met one I respected. Never met one worthy of trust. Never met one who was a good parent. Never met one who wasn't defective in the head in some way.

If he has children, I would genuinely feel sorry for them.

Remember when overturning Dobbs was leaked out of SCOTUS, that Team Blue, the activist MSM and most of Big Social Media were screaming about "taking away women's rights" No longer "birthing people" apparently. Not when saying that during that upheaval would only cost them a massive around of votes. So Hale will be treated as a "male" when Team Blue decides it's needed for their "narrative". Or "female" otherwise. It's not like they care about the victims at all. Some of the "activists" in here will dogmatically defend Team Blue policies and decisions no matter what. Except what happens when the next Audrey Hale walks into the school that their kids are going to right now? What happens when their kids are now the ones that no longer "fit the narrative"? Most of you are not old enough ( I might be the oldest person here, probably so) to really understand MADD. Mothers Against Drunk Driving didn't get much public traction into actual public policy until the rich kids, the kids from wealthy families, the kids from powerful connected families, the upper "tiers of social elite" had to watch their children on cold slabs in the middle of the night. Then things changed. The activists here and out there won't really understand the "cost" until their kids within the threat zone. When it's their kids used as pawns in the national daily media cycle. When their kids blood means nothing more than proxies for votes and begging for political donations. That's a pretty expensive price to pay, in my book, for more Orange Man Bad. But some here are willing to pay that. I feel sorry for their children though.

We are closing in on a full decade of pure "Orange Man Bad" in this country. Dominating the national daily media cycle endlessly. The problem with nearly all of the activist complicit MSM and most of Big Social Media joining in and coordinating in this fray, is it desensitizes people in general. If you paint someone as the most "evil" thing to exist, then what is one more "crime" going to add up to that same often told tired story? The documents case has real legal teeth. I'm not the only lawyer on this site and in these forums and it's pretty bad for Trump there. I won't deny that much. But the rest of these cases are nothingburgers against Trump. There are LOTS of things that Trump did that was clearly unethical and I wouldn't do them myself and I wouldn't recommend anyone else do them either as an elected official. But unethical is not the same as illegal. It's just not. If Team Blue and the DNC want to get Trump, then get him. But it has to be done with actual democratic processes at work. And it's been shown over and over again that those processes have been corrupted, hijacked and weaponized against him. Just because Trump is not always right doesn't mean, in many cases, that he's just simply automatically wrong and devoid of having a point because it fits the political tribalism of some here and out there. Jettisoning actual democratic processes to get Trump might be OK for someone like you. Except it means democratic processes are jettisoned for all of us. And your children too. What happens if one day your children grow up and no longer fit the "proper narrative"? Are you willing to let your kids grow up to be lined up against a wall for more "Orange Man Bad"? That's the price of your TDS. Ask yourself what kind of a world your kids will inherit in the non stop persecution of Trump. It's more than his life and his political career at stake. It's more than just 2024 POTUS. It's about the defense of actual democratic processes. But you clearly don't care. Ask yourself if you'll care if it comes down to your children being removed from your home by jackboots one day for failing some woke purity test.

85/15 Rule with Trump 85 percent of the time is pure unyielding political persecution. Team Blue, the DNC and the corporate establishment aren't even trying to hide it anymore. While I personally find Trump to be a total imbecile, and I want him out of politics period, he is still an American citizen. You can't just railroad someone like this for what is going to be over a full decade straight once the 2024 general cycle ends. 15 percent of the time, Trump takes a bad situation and just makes it worse. Sometimes his best play is just to shut up. Or let others, in specific areas, where they have more training and experience, to handle certain things ( I'm not including Fauci in that statement) In current times, Trump has nothing to lose by fighting everything. He only truly loses if he loses 2024 POTUS. Nothing else matters. If he wins POTUS, all this other legal conflict just plain goes away. He has nothing to gain by being silent. Speaking up like this got him into some of these messes in the first place. But speaking up also is his only real defense left against the corporate establishment. A lot of the general public has tuned out. That was evident during the J6 Hearings ( which was a proxy for a third impeachment) People who despise Trump beyond all measure will lap it all up still. The rest of the country? They just want prices to stop rising at the grocery store. If Team Blue wanted to go after Trump, then that's their choice. However, you can't win by going after Trump AND openly attacking the every day working class person and their families too. For the struggling families hit hard by inflation, crime, 2020 rioting and looting, school lockdowns, etc, etc, the new narrative to them is Trump looks like hope. That's not a function of Trump's enduring "altruism" for the masses. Because he could care less if they live or die. However, it is a sign of how pathetic Team Blue had operated here. How pathetic do you have to be as a political Party to allow an imbecile like Trump to rise from the ashes? This is an aspect of discussion you will never ever cover. You just won't. You've got some of the worst case of TDS here.

Where is this "leadership talent"? What does Axelrod suggest to replace Biden? Axelrod is on record supporting Newsom for POTUS 2024. How do you exist as the Party of "fighting systemic racism" when you are going to leapfrog the first black female VPOTUS ever, in recorded American history, then remove the opportunity for the first female POTUS ever, in exchange for the archetype of "white privilege"? Newsom grew up with power and influence around him. His "aunt" was Nancy Pelosi. His father and grandfather were steeped in big politics. He grew up vacationing with the Getty family. Yes, THAT Getty family. He owns his own winery. His children went to private school, in person learning, with a state "exemption" while all other kids in public schools were locked down. His winery got an exemption to stay open, until the media caught wind of it, then he had to shut it down too. He eats at the French Laundry ( maskless no less) How exactly do you do that and NOT lose a major cross section of the black vote all over the country? ( Remember, the issue with Israel/Hamas, that tragedy, is likely to cause massive down the ticket losses for Team Blue already in Michigan, Virginia and likely Pennsylvania as well. As well as form major disruption in what were seen as small pockets of Blue strongholds littered around California) What does Axelrod know exactly? That Biden can lose? That's obvious. But where is his solution for the Team Blue thin bench? Is there a better answer than Biden? At least Biden has proven to prevail in a general election. Who is up next? Cory Booker? Elizabeth Warren? Pete Buttigieg?

Tim is here to save the Geek Club. Just like he saved the "other place" ( By essentially forcing it to lock down and remove all political discussion and 95 percent of all practical current events discussion, after carpeting bombing it for nearly two decades, with multiple aliases, attacking everyone and hijacking threads with a quarter of a million posts. ) Tim needs to be the center of attention, even if it means defending the indefensible and be willing to let this place burn to the ground. Hopefully the site owner here and the rest of the FFT Staff figure this out and permanently ban him before his parasitic ways end up forcing this place to crash and burn like "the other place" I pointed this out to @BunnysBastatrds months ago. And I'm saying it here now. Would any of you want Tim as a neighbor? As a coworker? As a boss? Would you want him as a teacher in a school where your kids go to everyday? Would you want him as a police officer responding to you when you need help? As a doctor if your kids need medical care? As an elected official in your town or city? Would you even want him working in a restaurant local to you and touching your food? Tim is here because he needs a new "host" to feed upon. It's what parasites do. But he's here to "save" all of you. None of you can ever say you were never told.

Unemployment is almost non-existent, gas prices are rapidly falling. Biden does not deserve the bulk of credit for these things (all Presidents get too much blame and credit for the state of the economy.) But it won’t hurt him. Where Biden deserves credit is his legislative accomplishments, as significant as any President in recent history: the Chips act, the infrastructure bill, the climate change and healthcare package- any one of these by itself is a huge victory. Where Biden deserves credit is his continued leadership of the free world. Finland and Sweden are now part of NATO thanks largely to Biden’s efforts- he personally got Turkey to remove their reservations. Quite a feat for a guy who is supposed to be senile. And a major defeat for Putin. I’ve written in the past that Biden has been slightly above average, actually mediocre. There’s a lot he has done that I am quite critical about.
