The squad exposed. Let’s see howvthevMSM provides air cover for them the way they bare descalating “ alarm gate”
Seems the Isralies stopped the tunnel traffic.
Now, the Pali are using paragliders and motor bikes
Now, the Palis are using the Iran suicide drones to knock out Merkav tanks and large vehicles
Difficult times in the coming weeks and months
So true regarding agents, As I often tenll my wife just because someone has a title doesn’t mean they are competent
But, more importantly, in a larger sense the Biden administration has contributed both to the notion that Hamas was a legitimate Middle East player, and to the perception that the U.S. was backing away from its traditional support for Israel—to the delight of Hamas—based on the following inexplicable policies:
1) In February Secretary of State Blinken had bragged that not only had the Biden administration resumed massive aid to the PLA cancelled by Trump, but cumulatively had transferred $1 billion—even as Palestinian authorities bragged that they would continue to pay bounties to the families of “martyrs” (i.e., those killed while conducting terrorists attacks against Israel).
And millions of American dollars also went into Gaza, run by Hamas—despite the Biden administration’s efforts to keep mostly quiet the resumption of such inexplicable support. In this regard, note the current shameful State-Department (“U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs”) website news release that was posted after today’s attack. It ended with this quite embarrassing, morally equivalent admonition:
“We urged all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
"All sides?" "Refrain from retaliatory attacks?”
So Israel is the moral equivalent of terrorists executing civilians and brutalizing their corpses? And the IDF then is not supposed to retaliate against these killers?
This Biden State Department insanity cannot stand. So expect some apparatchik to take down this Munich-like posting as soon as possible.
2) The Biden administration had recently released some $6 billion to Iran through a prison swap deal that saw South Korea hand over embargoed Iranian money to Qatar—despite Tehran’s increased anti-Israeli rhetoric and its loud brag about the escalation. We should assume money for rockets (Hamas claims they have launched 5,000, and have received 100,000 of them via the Damascus airport) and weapons in general for Hamas were supplied by Iran, which again is likely the chief catalyst for this surprise attack.
3) Almost immediately, after his inauguration Biden mobilized to resume the bankrupt Iran deal. And in unhinged fashion he appointed the anti-Israeli bigot, pro-Iranian journalist Robert Malley as America’s chief negotiator. Note that Malley is now under FBI investigation for security breaches, involving disclosing classified U.S. documents and also for allegedly helping pro-Iranian activists and propagandists land influential billets inside the U.S. government.
In short, there was a general Hamas and Iranian perception that the Biden administration had resumed the discredited Obama madness of empowering Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. This discredited agenda was to “balance” the power of Israel and the moderate Arab Gulf governments to achieve “creative tension”, exacerbated by Biden’s loathing of the government of Benjamín Netanyahu (who has been snubbed by Biden and never invited for an official visit).
Note as well that the Biden administration has siphoned off key weapons and munitions from stockpiles inside Israel to transfer them to Ukraine. The so-called “War Reserve Ammunition—Israel" is all but depleted of just the sorts of weapons needed in the present crisis.
In this regard is there not a pattern here?
Upon the ascension of Biden and his woke military agendas, we saw the following: the complete humiliation of the U.S. in Kabul in its most shameful flight in 50 years and greatest abandonment of equipment in its history; followed by Vladimir Putin’s opportunistic invasion of Ukraine; followed by China’s new belligerence and escalating threats to Taiwan; followed by Turkey’s new de facto alliance with Russia and recent drone encounter with the U.S. air force in Syria; followed by the Hamas/Iranian inspired attack on Israel—with more to come unfortunately.
And will Biden finally get the message from the attacks on the Ukraine and Israeli borders, that borders matter and we too are being invaded, with the encouragement of the Mexican government and to the advantage of the cartels whose fentanyl exports kills 100,000 Americans a year?
What to expect in Israel?
Expect the following: the usual Hamas/terrorist selling and/or execution of Israeli hostages, the use of Israeli hostages as “human shields” in Gaza, the bargaining/sale of the remains of Israeli dead, occasional killings of Jews inside Israel by Arabs who falsely believe there will be a winning Middle East-wide existential war against Israel. And finally, a devastating Israeli counter-response that will eventually earn a U.S. rebuke.
What should the U.S. instead do?
It should quit talking to Iran and restore full sanctions against it. It should cut off all aid immediately to all the Palestinians. It should undertake a 1973-like massive arms lift of key munitions to Israel and warn Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and others in the Middle East not to intervene or else, given that Israel will need several weeks to deal with Hamas and Gaza. And if it shows any hesitation or weakness, other terrorist groups will opportunistically jump in.
Bingo on Tump JPEG
Trump had the fear aspect of the rest of the world and the protective non woke strength of the USA
Mark Steyn had this embedded in his column - harsh truth/LANGUAGE WARNING. I would say all the Pali sympathizers should see it, but it won’t change their minds:
Mark’s column - it’s a good one:

So true Re idiocy of todays youth and brain dead others they don’t research or understand the extremists view of same sex identity
Now that you mention that it easily could have happened in this situtaiton.biden could have told cia to back off and had them tell mossad the same.it could have happened this time exactly as your example showed.
But..... I also believe that somewhere along the line some of the intel people went rogue. We have proof of that almost daily in fbi,cia and elsewhere. How big the rogue element is and how much power they have is unknown. But always has to be taken into context.
For me I can see obama telling obiden to order cia/fbi not to reveal any intel on what hamas has plans to do. Would not surprise me at all. Did that happen? Hard to say. We don't know. All we do know is that they are infinitely capable of getting intel on hamas and always have until now. Seems suspicious.
This is what is going on in Israel today with Netanyahu trying to rein in the unbridled power of the Israeli supreme court. Many lefties in Israeli upper positions of power, including the Military and other beurocracies are working hard to prevent Netanyahu from limiting the absolute power of the Israeli supreme court
Total US debt jumped by $500 billion in just 18 days after hitting $33 trillion, according to Zerohedge.
To be exact, total US debt is now at $33.513 trillion. This means the US has added $28.5 billion in debt PER DAY for 18 consecutive days. That's $1.2 billion per hour and puts the US on track to add another $1 trillion in debt in just 1.5 months. Under the debt ceiling bill, the US debt limit is effectively UNCAPPED until 2025. How high can this go?
In FY 2024 the annual interest on the national debt will be over $1 trillion, bigger than DOD's budget. This is unsustainable.
I think you are right bud,if anything is outed we will have to do it here.But, we all get better every year,they better watch out.
Gaetz on MTP: He had no triube with Welker on every issue.
At one point Welker replayed Gaetz’s contradictory comments about speaker Paul Ryan in 2008
....”that was 2018...you missed a decade “ LOL
“that was a totally different situation.”
So true Barry O and Val Jar probably pulling some strings in the background
Excellent background Re Joey and in effect the puppet master Barry O who to me wants to be like a Sheik but ruling America outside of the electoral process
As the young lady states Israeli forces are some of the best in the world. Highly trained and actually did training a year ago on the same situation that happened!! Yet it all fell apart for no good reason.
This lady had a long career as an intel agent. She apparently knows what she is talking about.
I'm going to listen to it again a see what is there. I may have missed. its here:https://twitter.com/DrSHankMD/status/1710813567476252875?t=llRbFutBtgFCP00FkSx9_Q&s=35 Well worth the 4 1/2 minutes it takes to listen.
I suspect our surveillance satellites have been re-positioned over Ukraine to provide real time intelligence.
There was an obvious intelligence failure, which is uncharacteristic for the Israelis. Maybe they were lax because of the Abraham Accords and the belief that peace was busting our all over. Even the Saudis were working with bothj Iran and Israel.
As much as i like Matt Gaetz he just said he dosnt care if we lose the house,I cant agree with that.A bridge too far.
It’s like the old CNN.
You mean it just sucks instead of sucking more. TV for Communists.
