Three famous quotes explain the inevitability of the “Schumer Shutdown” — why it always had to happen, what the Democrats really want, and why it’ll all be over within 10 days.
But first, an observation that illustrates a larger point: The greatest PR mistake Israel made in Gaza was giving a damn about civilian casualties.
By historic standards, an enemy death toll of roughly 65,000 after 720+ days of intense urban warfare is preposterously low. (That statistic, by the way, is self-reported from Hamas, which has every incentive to inflate its numbers, and makes no distinction between civilian and military casualties.)
It’s especially low for warfare in a high-density region like Gaza, where the population is about 2.1 million.
The siege of Leningrad in World War II had over a million civilian casualties. The month-long battle for Manila between America and Japan killed over 100,000 Filipino civilians. The Allied bombing of Germany killed between 350,000 and 500,000 civilians. And the March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo killed 100,000 civilians… in a single night!
No matter: Israel is guilty of “genocide” for fighting back.
Meanwhile, at any given time in Gaza, there are about 60,000 pregnant women. United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) spokeswoman Tess Ingram claimed that 20,000 Palestinian babies were born over the first 105 days, with a Gazan baby born every 10 minutes. After 720+ days, that’s approximately 140,000 new Gazans.
This is the only “genocide” in world history where the birthrate is DOUBLE the deathrate!
Which is why, from a purely Machiavellian perspective, Israel's best move would have been to unleash the full fury of its military might on Gaza from the get-go, decimating Hamas — and all the women and children it hides behind — in order to end the war ASAP.

Don’t you think it will be sooner when the gubernatorial race in NJ goes really south for the Dems?

One cannot “negotiate” with communists....period.
And that’s exactly what they are....spit.
That means this theater can last two weeks before any real consequences are felt. We'll see a lot of grandstanding before that two weeks is up and schumer caves.
The Dems are going wine tasting in the Napa Valley.
Why?
AOC
The dem was up by 8 in a Fox poll yesterday. Might have been an outlier.
I hope the Poobies don’t give an inch. Let schmuck dangle and spin on his thread.
Your keyboard to God’s ears.
Every time there is a shutdown, the Dems win. The media makes sure of it.
Calendar check:
NJ Governor election—November 4
Ten days from today—October 11.
A bait & switch article. No thx
Schumer....the majority of WE THE PEOPLE....said NOT to shut it down. You’re going to pay dearly.
To the Dems:
“The first one won’t kill you, nor the second, not even the third — not until you crawl over here and you kiss my foot!”.
—Red Grant in From Russia With Love.
makes sense to me
bunker down
If the right gives NO concessions, does that mean that the shutdown will last forever?
So, the dems are more determined that we are?
glad you made ears plural because my keyboard (or mouse) make sure everything is sais twice these days
That streak ends on this one.
