We’re still shocked about these demonstrations.  Where did these people come from?  Do they have no idea the atrocities that were committed?  What are they demonstrating about?  They need to have their faces rubbed in the atrocities.  Or better yet, get an all expenses paid trip to the war zone.

No matter, they’re filling the streets to “make their voices heard” in support of Hamas.  Lloyd Austin or Anthony Blinkin take center stage to urge caution.   But the Israeli spokesmen say the job won’t be done until Hamas is no more.   Are the Israelis supposed to stand by and see homes invaded by terrorists?  The butchery these animals committed is too gruesome to discuss.

Apparently the Israeli soldiers are planning to pump sea water into the tunnels.  They keep finding weapons stashed, under schools and hospitals.  The terrorists are counting on Israel to not violate places where there are children or sick people.  Meanwhile they’re still holding hostages.  These “brave fighters” need innocent people to hide behind.  

The war is back on after a cease fire that was violated.  One thing you learn after a while, deals with terrorists are no good.

We’re not hearing too much about Ukraine these days.  It was front and center while they were raising money.  Now, hardly anybody’s talking about it.  Because Ukraine doesn’t stand a chance against Russia, whatever the arguments.  

When have you ever seen a display such as this?  Hunter is in big trouble.  Joe is implicated, and knows he has to run again to keep control of the situation.  Now his son is facing criminal indictment in California, and he has to be concerned about what will be revealed.  If it’s true that these guys sold out the United States for…  I can’t tell you what for.  Apparently they live way high on the hog, beyond their visible means.  They put up a graphic on television showing the categories the money was spent on.  It’s not good.

The border situation is worse than ever.  This morning they showed LIVE video, and it’s unbelievable.  They’re here from all over the world.  They’re headed to New York or Philadelphia or California.  Apparently it’s the border patrol’s responsibility to make sure they get there.  We’re being invaded.  Maybe most of them don’t have bad intentions, they’re just taking advantage of a wide open border into the United States.  But it doesn’t take many with ill intent.

Have you heard?  They’re starting up about masks again.  Will Americans listen?  I think masks are a symbol, and not much more.  You can see at a glance who believes what they’re saying on the news, and who doesn’t know or care.  Let’s hope we’re not in for another round.  Where is the little doctor anyway?  Maybe he’ll make another appearance, and we can resume where we left off.  But the CDC has lost credibility, and only the truly indoctrinated will mask up again.   

The media’s current fancy is that if ever allowed near the Oval Office again, Trump would be a dictator.  Did Liz Cheney start this?  They’re saying he’ll be as bad as the worst history has ever seen.  Hannity asked Trump about it in an interview this week.  Trump said he’d be a dictator on day one only.  He’d close the border and unleash drilling for oil.  Now every liberal outlet is worrying aloud about it.  There are bigger things to worry about.  We should be so lucky.

Demonstrations going on around the United States are making the news.  Who are these people, and what are they doing here, you might ask.  At least I would.  Shutting down bridges?  Clogging Grand Central Station?  What on earth?  Don’t show us the pictures, but show them.  Let’s see if they can stand it.  See if they still want to clog the streets.

My Dad used to say, the Arab nations around Israel are huge.  Surely they could outfit some enclave for the Palestinians.  But no.  Maybe they could make a home in Europe.  Their relatives already have.  As long as they don’t send them here.  

So the Judge in the New York case against Trump has embarrassed himself.  This is what Letitia James campaigned on.  Even though all the banks were paid back on time, the claim is that Trump inflated the value of other properties in order to get loans.  Everybody got paid. So there will be no victim statements.  Maybe the publicity will hurt him.  Probably not.

Can you stand to look at what’s going on at the border?  This morning I heard one of the analysts say, “It’s a full scale invasion,” regardless of the weird expressions on Mayorkis’ face.  The feds keep telling us everything is fine, it’s under control.  But the pictures of the hordes en route tell a different story.  So it’s up to the states, or the citizens… But then they’ll get sued by the feds.  

We hear that Gaza City has been surrounded by Israeli soldiers, and now the terrorists are in hiding.  But they’ve got over one hundred hostages, and you can see how brave they are.  We never stop hearing about the “humanitarian pause.”  Maybe they should have thought about it before they committed the worst massacre in recent memory.  Now they want a pause!

Undoubtedly Netanyahu is under tremendous pressure.  There are those who say this whole thing is a result of a huge intelligence failure.  The Mossad has definitely lost some of its enviable reputation.  But Mr. Netanyahu says a pause would mean Israel loses.  Israel is within its rights to make sure this never happens again.

Remember all the “shuttle diplomacy,” with Henry Kissinger running back and forth between Arab capitals?  “Land for peace” was the phrase used over and over.  Eventually Israel gave the  Palestinians Gaza in exchange for peace. Jewish settlers were relocated so that they could run their own show.  Everybody gave them money.  But instead of building infrastructure, they invested in tunnels and weapons.

Who could imagine?  Thirty miles of Mediterranean waterfront, and all they can think about is their hatred for Jews.  The animosity, the jealousy goes all the way back to Biblical times and it may end up being the spark that ignites world war.  

There are reports of attacks on U. S. bases in the region.  Responses have been tepid, to say the least.  The U. S. may be at war with Iran before this is over.  Iran supplied the munitions and the training for this escapade.  Those calling the shots in Gaza are holed up in some penthouse in Qatar.  

There are some filthy rich Arab countries who could easily give the Palestinians somewhere to go.  But huge refugee camps have been set up along the Egyptian border.  Israel has dropped leaflets letting the locals know that everything is about to be turned into rubble, but Hamas has prevented their departure.  Huge refugee camps have been set up along the Egyptian border.  There are routes open now, and civilians can flee.  But the truth is, there are no civilians.  Everybody has been brainwashed with hatred.

Here in the U. S. we have the squad in Congress.  One of them was just censured.  From the river to the sea?  Keep dreaming.  Mark

Demonstrations are going on all over the world, and here in the U. S.  They’re on several university campuses, choking Central Station, the Brooklyn bridge…  They’re waving flags, shouting slogans, demanding a ceasefire?  Maybe somebody should have thought of that a few weeks ago.

The way to break up these demonstrations is to place a big screen where it can’t be avoided.  We don’t want to see what Hamas did, but they need to.  

Informed diplomats are popping up everywhere to demand a humanitarian pause in Israel’s response to the terrorists in Gaza.  Somehow the news anchors are not swayed by terrorists tunnels safely beneath the hospital.  Everybody’s an innocent victim, except that guy on the phone with his parents boasting in near tears about how he’d killed them “with my own hands.”  

I saw a report on a guy who survived the assault on a kibbutz.  He had a Glock.  Otherwise he and his family would have been shot or dragged off as hostages.  The guy killed ten or twelve bad guys and saved his family.  They’re giving interviews.  Israel is going to have to do something about their strict gun laws.  Apparently the demand is surging amid current circumstances.  What sense does it make to be defenseless in that environment?

The Hamas shot-callers are reportedly phoning it in from lavish penthouses in Qatar.  The Israeli military already has assets in Gaza, having cleared a path.  From there, you presumably know the latest on the situation.  Assuming you’re interested.  It’s our job to be interested, and we probably would be anyway.  

Now Erdogan of Turkey is making brave threats about sending his military to the war zone.  

As you’ve heard, Qatar is doing all the negotiating for the hostages.  Somehow they’ve been able to position themselves as the broker of Middle East deals.

Some Iranian diplomat was allowed into the United States where he threatened the U. S. on Iran’s behalf at the UN podium.  Now the Houthis from Yemen have declared war on Israel.   Diplomats are racing around like its WWIII.  Not yet, but the war is threatening to take on new dimensions.  Do those in Lebanon really want Beirut to look like Gaza?  There are drone shots of crowds of young men scouring the powdered concrete blocks.

Maybe I-24 News has the most detailed coverage, but the news channels are Live around the clock.  Black and white target cams obliterate your screen as bombs detonate structures.  They say there are 300 miles of tunnels deep under Gaza city.  Hostages are still being held, even some with American passports.  There will be books written, movies made.  We can’t imagine all that is transpiring in real time.

Israeli forces caught a bunch of the infiltrators.  They were making maybe 25 or 30 of them listen to Israeli nursery music by the hour.  They say they’re conducting interrogations “by the law.”  Some of the target information for all the buildings we see imploding is coming from these guys.  Some reportedly start singing right away, others…  Physical pressure is applied.  You don’t want to know.

The top universities in the U. S. are choked with demonstrations on behalf of… Hamas?  Yes, you read it right.  

Now we’re wondering if the terror will come to the United States.  The F.B.I. Director said it’s a strong possibility.  The border is leaking at a tremendous rate.  We can’t even stand to watch as huge crowds stream toward the crossings.  Just another day for those responsible.  They send some moron before Congress to explain how it’s all under control.  Department of what? 

So the terrorists are making brave threats.  Americans will pay for their support of Israel, they boast.  You don’t suppose some terrorist network has infiltrated amid the border charade?  They’re not sure who all got away, but as we’ve seen the “immigrants” are coming from all over the world.

Congress is wrestling with funding.  As you know, the administration is lobbying for Ukraine funding and financial help for Israel be lumped together.  Some, growing weary of backing the skirmish in Ukraine, want the two issues decoupled.  An interview with someone in the know in the top echelons of Ukraine made the reporter turn off his tape recorder, and then said they’re stealing “like there’s no tomorrow,” speaking of the distribution of U. S. aid.  We suspected so.

You know Al Gore must be pacing the floor, worried that there are more immediate threats than his desperate view of the future. We weren’t buying it anyway.
