Sorry if this was already posted, but wow what an awesome speech by NYC mayor Eric Adams.

For a Democrat, Adams gets immigration policy and Middle East policy decently.

Don't let a single speech cloud his actions.

Eric Adams thinks it the governor in Texas causing his immigration problems.  He had nothing to say when illegals were being flown into NY in the middle of the night by the Biden admin. He was still bragging about being a sanctuary city.

At best Israel intelligence knew of the attack and did nothing. At worst, they helped plan it.

Democrats get to be graded on a curve.

With reality knocking on the door, this Israel thing may turn out to be a catalyst that serves in making some of them less retarded.

I know it's helping me focus better. All my life, up until a few years ago, I had always considered Islam as clearely the ass-end worst civilization still around in modern times. But then Woke came along, and I thought "Well, Islam is better than this sh*t", so I went ahead and bumped Islam up to second from the bottom. I still consider Islam readily superior to Woke, but considering the recent reminder that these fockers would gleefully see us all dead, it's really forcing me to consider swapping out the bottom two slots.

No, it's different, the Woke are body snatchers. Their birth rates are abysmal. In order to procreate, what they do is to kidnap our kids and convert them into their cult. You send your kids off into the "education" system and they come out sounding like AOC or Ilan Benjamin on page 42, sometimes with body parts removed. AOC is a lost cause, whereas there's a glimmer of hope that Ilan Benjamin can be saved, but if so, that kid still has a long way to go.

What I like about Islam, is the raging savage at the gate represents a clear and present danger.  Beheaded babies of his friends and relatives are tough for young Benjamin to ignore. Woke doesn't do that. It is a seductive disease of the mind foisted by leftoids. "Oh, you feel bad about those poor unfortunate people over there do you? Well, let me tell you about the bad things your ancestors did and how you can help them now." "Hey, I noticed you don't fit in with the cool boys/girls, have you considered the reason you don't belong is that maybe you were assigned the wrong gender at birth?"  "We're not mutilating kids and making them infertile, no, we're helping them, you see. If you actually love them and care about them, you would let us help."

You’re contradicting yourself.  “The woke” are “procreating” by making kids infertile?

Biden's NSA pressed on previous comments about 'quieter' Middle East: 'So far off the mark'

'Why was your assessment there so far off the mark?' Welker asked

Quote

NBC News' Kristen Welker pressed President Biden's National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan about how he was "so far off the mark" in describing the conflict in the Middle East as "quieter" today than it has been in two decades.

"Jake, as you know, there’s been a lot of discussion about how this attack could have been missed. I want to play you some remarks that you made eight days before the attack and get your reaction on the other side," Welker asked, before playing the clip. 

Sullivan said the Middle East was quieter than it has been in a long time about a week before Hamas attacked Israel.

October 9, 2023 - Hamas received weapons and training from Iran, officials say

Iran ‘broadly complicit’ in supporting Palestinian militants, but no evidence seen of a direct role in slaughter, officials say

While Iran’s precise role in Saturday’s violence remained unclear, the officials said, the assault reflected Tehran’s years-long ambition to surround Israel with legions of paramilitary fighters armed with increasingly sophisticated weapons systems capable of striking deep inside the Jewish state.

Hamas, the Gaza-based Palestinian militant organization that led the attack, has historically maintained a degree of independence from Tehran compared with true Iranian proxy groups such as the Lebanese-based Hezbollah. But in recent years, Hamas has benefited from massive infusions of Iranian cash as well as technical help for manufacturing rockets and drones with advanced guidance systems, in addition to training in military tactics — some of which occurred in camps outside Gaza, the officials said.

October 14, 2023 - Saudi Arabia puts Israel deal on ice amid war, engages with Iran

 

 

I realize training began at least a year before the 10/7/2023 attack, but this Saudi Arabia situation with the U.S., and Saudi Arabia new talks with Iran and how this situation and those talks changed the Saudi's position toward Israel and therefore hindering a deal for the Saudi's with the U.S., I'm certain Iran is very happy with.

As for Biden's plans to engage the Saudi's to support Israel in exchange for a U.S. - Saudi Arabia treaty that sounds like it would agree to protect each other (including militarily) should one of the countries is attacked; I'm not so sure that's a good idea for us anyway.

The core problem is Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and if they succeed, they will desperately want to kill as many Americans as possible. Obviously the power structure in Iran is different from the every day rank and file working class Iranians who are just trying to get by in life, like everyone else. 

Whether or not Iran is complicit with Hamas, it simply serves US national security that they be neutralized. 

A "soft war" would be to flood Iran with fentanyl. That pathway offers the best ratio for cost for effective damage to Iran's nuclear hopes. Deniability in the international daily media cycle would also be easy to control and manipulate. 

Whether Iran is guilty or not for what happened in Israel, the hard answer is they are a current and large scale threat to American national security, so they need to be hammered into submission. The activist leftists here will buckle at my take on this, but many of the current high ranking Iranian regime right now are known for shooting down passenger airliners. Activist radical leftists should think ten times over about that before their children get onto another airplane in the future.

I'd actually be kind of pissed if my governor used my tax dollars to get a plane to Israel to pick up stranded people.

They weren't in any danger, and this is essentially a campaign stunt.

[GobbleDog 991]

The 24 hr evacuation mandate was over Saturday morning. Thought there'd be live war footage to go with my college football, but didn't happen. Go gators!

Offensive was apparently post-poned... probably to allow more civilians out (less bad pr), prep reservists, and better strategize. I still wonder if they'll shell the hell out of the area before entering. Seems like a smart military move, given the difficulty of urban warfare.  If they do shell it, any civilians who didn't, or couldn't, get out will wish they had.

If you've ever been to Israel, They have horrible food. Which begs Ii the question. Why do we have such great Jewish delis here in America?

[KSB2424 3,148]

Multiple things that I’ve learned or have been validated the past week. 
 

1. America really needs to tighten its borders.  Let me try to illustrate it this way…..I would never permanently move to France or Mexico or any other country and then fly the Stars & Stripes in spite of the country I CHOSE TO COME TOO.  It only tells me you are NOT here to assimilate. 
 
2.  Grown adults cannot decipher between the cause of War vs casualties of War. 

3.  Despite popular opinion on this bored, Religion has saved more lives than not.  

4.  Islam falls in bucket 3….barely.  Islam gets radicalized 100x more often than any other religion and that fact needs to be acknowledged.

This is a direct results of the Obama administration letting in refugees from the Middle East.

New waves of immigration from the Middle East came in the late 20th century, Muslims and Christians from Lebanon and Palestine, as well as immigrants from Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Dearborn is home to the largest Muslim population in the United States per capita as well as the largest mosque in North America.

Lots of talk in recent hours of a failed rocket launch striking the grounds of a hospital in Gaza. I think it's timely to remind viewers that rockets produced by terrorists aren't always effective.

Israel denies it, says they have proof.  They claim it was misfired from an Islamic Terrorist group.  Both sides will believe what they want.  
 

My common sense tells me Israel has been targeted bombing the hell out of Gaza.  They admit it, give reports about it.  Why would they lie if they MEANT to hit a hospital?  Doesn’t make sense; I’d guess it was a misfire by Hamas who will use it for propaganda.
