WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had sharp words Friday for pro-Palestine protesters who blame Israel for prompting the horrific Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.

“This is no time for neutrality or for false equivalence, or for excuses for the inexcusable,” Austin told reporters in Tel Aviv. “There is never any justification for terrorism, and that’s especially true after this rampage by Hamas.”

“There is never any justification for terrorism, and that’s especially true after this rampage by Hamas.”

Yes--that's why most of the pro-Hamas a$$holes in the media and those I've seen interviewed on the street are trying to spin the 'it never happened' narrative.

Austin’s promotion to SECDEF was based on skin color, NOT merit.

That said, after 3 years, he finally said something I agree with.

Today is the 716th anniversary of the roundup of the Knights Templar.

And we all know who they fought.

I was unaware of that. I’ll do a history review.
Thank you for the info.

So today is naturally the day I’m going out wearing my Templar Cross t shirt.

Rarely do I get to do so on an October Friday 13.

It’s a big deal.

Pure, steam pipe, political bluster.

Biden got 77% of the Jewish American vote in 2020.

The Democrat Party must be worried about current polling.

They have some cool stuff for sale.
American company staffed with Vets.
I always pay the extra $1 so it’s made in the US as well.

If I ever have extra money I’ll get something from them.

Have new Trupanion copays for the dog’s oncologist now.

We’re running out of time it seems.

Yep. Screw him. It is political blather, no difference in content or meaning from what comes out of the Left on this.

Blood is on their hands. All of them.
