President Donald Trump will make a decision within the next two weeks on whether the U.S. becomes directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.

Trump has seemed to go back and forth in recent days about if, how or to what extent the U.S. would get involved, likely with providing some type of military support to Israel, the United States' longest and closest Middle East ally
While, Israel remains under attack, and even a few days can be critical in saving lives and infrastructure. MY OPINION? B OMB BABY BOMB.
Show them Ragheads what you get for shouting “DEATH YO AMERICA” for the past several years!

So the Democrat Party is Broke, its not so supervising after they threw away so many Millions on those Idiotic Candidates Kamala, and Tim Walz.
donors are deserting, leaving the democrat party

Maybe Obama can start giving his $10 million dollars speeches again, to fill the democrats piggy bank

Or Perhaps Hilllary can loan em some of the cash they stole. Do they have even one person of consequence that can speak to the populace and understands what needs to be done. Doesn't look like it
And lets face it, the Dems blew over $2 billion on the Biden/Harris fiasco and since they lost, they won't get paid back 10 fold with taxpayer money. Poor Dem donors got hosed

I hope he tells Israel to clean up their own mess. We've spent too many trillions bomb-baby-bombing our way through the Middles East to no good effect.

Joe Conservative said...

The US government pumps tens of billions into Democratic front groups. They're far from 'broke'.

The ME was only f'ed up by European and American involvement. The usual results every since Korea.

Thersites said...

The place was always f'ed up. We simply weren't smart enough to steer clear.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Due to the fact that they don't worship your Caucasian God there?

Joe Conservative said...

Exactly!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

The world would be a much better place if everyone was a White Supremacist like you?

Les Carpenter said...

Which of course is a total bulls**t reason.

Joe Conservative said...

Exactly like me. So much superior that I don't give a f*ck what race you belong to, I only care about the content of your character. In other words, not threatened or otherwise affected by your race.

Joe Conservative said...

Race Indifferent.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

"Race Indifferent" is another disingenuous rebrand for White Supremacy. You care very much. Proven definitively by your multiple posts about how Kamala Harris isn't Black and comments about Barack Obama not being born in Hawaii. Among many other tells, such as your insistence that Ketanji Brown Jackson isn't qualified to be on the Supreme Court. When she is highly qualified. Much more so than any of donald trump's picks, in fact.

Joe Conservative said...

The race obsessed like you have no other interests, so yes, I make fun of you and them as often as I can.

Joe Conservative said...

The world runs on bullsh*t, Les.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I don't give a f*ck what race you belong to, I only care about the content of your character. You could call me race indifferent.

Les Carpenter said...

It's a never ending pursuit to overcome ignorance and greed. The two most nettlesome negative character hurdles to overcome. But, we've certainly improved since the Dark Ages. Perhaps there is hope for humankind. The next millennium will hopefully see more enlightened thinking than that currently gripping the planet.

Joe Conservative said...

That doesn't make me "idiot" indifferent to the white guilt-pride fallacy.

No, it's a never ending pursuit of Capitalism and the commodification of Land, Labour, Capital, and now Information.

Look at the results of some of the more recent commodifications of Labour:

from "After Liberalism" video discussion:

If you don't mind, I jotted these down because I'm a political scientist who can never remember numbers. They did the same survey 25 years before '23, so 1998. These were the results in 1998. 70% of respondent said patriotism was the most important value. 62% religion was among the most important values. 59% said having children family were the most important values. Dropping below 50% Community came in at 47% and money came in last at 31% as the most important values. That was in 1998. Now 1998, I was alive, you were alive, a lot of you were alive. We thought things were in really bad shape in 1998, right? Things are really trending in bad. Monica Lewinsky, right?

Here's the result in 2023, the same exact survey. And I'm going to read them in the reverse order, so fifth place. So I gave you the one to five. Fifth place, Community 27%, that's a loss of 20 points. Fourth place, having children, family, came in at 30%, that's a loss of 29 Points. Third Place, patriotism 38%, that's a drop of 32 percentage points. Second place, religion came in at 39%, that's a drop of 23 percentage points. And first place, money, which wasn't last came in at 43%, still below 50% interestingly, but that's the only one that Rose by 12 percentage points. We've undergone a revolution in 25 years if that's not a revolution I'm not sure what is.

...What do you think's driving?

I look at education, so-called critical thinking amounts to showing how seemingly Noble things are really base and oppressive. So it's not surprising then that young people would increasingly um distrust the old wisdom. And they're cast upon you know the consumer culture that that um that's the default for for us as a as a society. Any other thoughts on what the drivers are of this revolution?

So your question, I think, does point to one certainly what one culprit would be, which is a kind of change in the values among Elites, what we call Elites today. College educated people who run institutions. People who program media, the kinds of programs that get you know sort of suffused in our broadly what we call a culture. The kinds of values that get inculcated in colleges and universities. That's one culprit.

But it's interesting that we can't go through this conversation without mentioning Christopher Lash. But
Christopher Lash in 1995, so three years before the better version of this survey in my view, published a book um called "The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy" in which he lays out this charge that the Elites, then in the late '90s, no longer value these phenomenon. They betrayed democracy because they're sort of rootless, they don't have commitments, they want to be commitment free, they want don't want to be trapped or Bound by these kinds of Institutions that demand loyalties and sacrifice and duties because of the demands of the economy. That they have to be largely available for wherever they need to go and whatever they need to do. And also, the kind of values that are inculcated in those Elite institutions.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

So why is money the most important value now? The Institutions are gone. Money is the only thing left for people to fight for. Labour's commodification has almost reached the 100% "slavery" level. It's technofeudal serfdom now. The culture has been destroyed by the Elites, and their "Wealth-based Values" that require everyone (including the poorest of the poor) to own a Tesla and pay10x for 'green' energy and 100x for housing in a zoned green sustainable community where 95% of the land is environmentally reserved for Snail Darters and Spotted Owls.

Minus: That doesn't make me "idiot" indifferent to the white guilt-pride fallacy.

It *does* make you an idiot. To believe in the fallacy of "White guilt-pride".

Though only if you actually believe it. I think it's definitely possible you know it's BS and are lying.

Joe Conservative said...

You don't believe that today's German's suffer from Nazi guilt-pride? LOL!

Holocaust. Boo!

Joe Conservative said...

AfD... Boo!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Minus: The culture has been destroyed by the Elites...

You're referring to White-Male-Centric "culture". But isn't king donald going to fix that? Or is it that you realize this "culture" is toxic and should be destroyed. And that many people realize this?

Minus: ...and their "Wealth-based Values" that require everyone (including the poorest of the poor) to own a Tesla and pay 10x for 'green' energy and 100x for housing in a zoned green sustainable community...

This is complete BS. There is no such requirement.

google AI: When considering all forms of energy production (including electricity, transportation, and heating), renewables accounted for about 8% of the total in 2023.

Despite the growth of renewables, fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum) still accounted for about 60% of electricity generation and about 84% of primary energy production in 2023.


Minus: where 95% of the land is environmentally reserved for Snail Darters and Spotted Owls.

This is complete BS.

Copilot: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages about 95 million acres of land as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. That sounds like a lot, but it’s only about 4% of the total U.S. land area. If you include all federally protected lands -- like national parks, forests, wilderness areas, and conservation lands managed by various agencies -- it adds up to roughly 28 -- 30% of U.S. land being under some form of protection.

But even within that, not all land is strictly off-limits to human activity. Many protected areas allow for hiking, hunting, fishing, grazing, and even resource extraction, depending on the designation. [end]

Also...

Copilot: biodiversity is profoundly helpful to humans -- in ways both obvious and invisible. It supports everything from the food we eat to the air we breathe, and even the medicines we rely on. For example:

Pollinators like bees and butterflies are essential for over 75% of global food crops. Forests and wetlands regulate climate, purify water, and absorb billions of tons of CO₂ annually. Over 50% of modern medicines are derived from natural sources -- plants, fungi, and even animal toxins. Diverse ecosystems help prevent disease outbreaks by regulating pests and pathogens. [end]

The Minus FJ "solution" (to not be concerned about the environment or other life forms in the least) would lead to the downfall of the human race. maga is a toxic ideology. Toxic to life in general and toxic to human life.

"Being White Supremacists isn't our fault. It's YOUR fault for not loving White Supremacy".

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Minus: You don't believe that today's German's suffer from Nazi guilt-pride?

No. They feel a collective responsibility to ensure that doesn't happen again. Well, all Germans who oppose the neo-Nazi party, AfD.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...and we all know what Hannah Arendt said about collective responsibilities.

Les Carpenter said...

The oligarchs and plutocrats (billionaires and wealthy corporations) successfully created the wage slave society. That they did. But the MAGA con will not weaken that system, it will merely strengthen the system and shower more weath on the masters.

Joe Conservative said...

It can't get any worse than Biden/Harris.

Les Carpenter said...

It did. J20 2025.

Joe Conservative said...

Your opinion, certainly not mine. J20 began a corrective to unmitigated illegal immigration. The 20 million will be expelled.
