The Soviet Union recognized Israel because back in 1948, just about all of the Arab states were conservative monarchies, and Stalin did not expect to get very far when dealing with them. Egypt had King Farouk, Saudi Arabia had Ibn Saud, Iraq had Faisal II, Yemen had the Iman Yahya, etc. By contrast, many Jews at the time had socialist or communist leanings; Leon Trotsky is the most famous example. And the left-wing Labor Party dominated Israel for 29 years (1948-77), so the USSR had hopes that Israel would eventually join the Soviet Bloc. Thankfully it didn’t work out that way. While the Labor Party was in charge, here in America, supporting Israel was the liberal thing to do; now it’s the conservative thing to do.

The mutilations are only the beginning. Most people who undergo these procedures will never marry, have children or grandchildren. They are being denied some of the greatest joys in life. In addition, they are living in rebellion against what God created them to be. No wonder they are mentally ill.

If the Ayatollah is in Russia, he’s a likely target for a Ukrainian drone. Have you heard how the Ukrainian war has been going lately?

I thought Van Jones was a card-carrying Communist. That’s why he couldn’t work for Obama as “green jobs czar.”

What about all the times liberals have claimed fraud in elections? I have heard some of them declare that every time Republicans won a presidential election, it was stolen. They even include Abraham Lincoln’s 1860 victory.

Personally I’d like to see the words “Racist” and “Racism” banned from the English language. Then Al Sharpton won’t be able to speak a complete sentence.

Like Massie, I am in Kentucky, and here every homeless person who asked me for money has also claimed to be a veteran. Our government may be giving enough to real homeless veterans, as opposed to those lying about their status (at least one panhandler admitted to making $65,000 to $100,000 per year).

It’s only a drop in the bucket. When is Trump going to go after Hillary, or Adam Schiff? So far my only complaint about Trump’s performance as president is that he goes too easy on his enemies.

I remember around 2009, a news story came out that Ahmadinejad was born with the last name Sabourjian, meaning he was probably once Jewish.

The main reason why I believe the 2020 election was stolen is because of the number of votes. Besides the claim that Biden won 81 million votes, when he barely left home during the campaign season, we heard that the total number of votes counted was more than 158 million. This was a jump of more than 20 million votes from 2016, and for the 2024 election, the popular vote total would be less, at 155 million. The only other time in history when the popular vote decreased from one election to the next was in 1864, because the Civil War kept the Confederate states from voting. Up until now, I have not heard anyone in the media explain the sudden jump and drop in voter participation — if all the vote counts were honest.

Everyone involved in this cruise, including the passengers, is a fool. Haven’t they heard how non-binary folks are treated in the Middle East? Where were they when ISIS was throwing them off skyscrapers? I’ll venture that Israel is the only country that will let them come ashore. But if these characters are liberal, I’m pretty sure they won’t want to go to Israel.

With all the names you mentioned, they have lived to a ripe old age because Heaven doesn’t want them, while Hell is afraid they will take over.

Both McConnell and Graham are longstanding arguments for term limitation.

So the president has only found out recently that the Iranian government can’t be trusted? The rest of us have known that for years; maybe since the 1979 hostage crisis.

What’s a pluton? Is sounds like an atomic particle I haven’t heard of.

These days, the only American news media source I trust is the Babylon Bee, LOL.

I’m reminded of how in 1975 a judge ordered Howard Hughes to reveal himself, or he would be declared legally dead. A few months later, the billionaire died of kidney failure. Hughes had to die in order to prove he had been alive for all of the previous twenty years. Are we witnessing something like this with McConnell?

Why is this character stealing Smokey Bear signs? If anyone should be stealing them it’s me. I remember when I was a kid, I saw Smokey on TV telling me that I’m the only one who can prevent forest fires. I’ll admit I never found out what qualified me for this honor.

The author of this article uses too many metaphors. I don’t want to hear about anyone planning to eat Hakeem Jeffries unless they really want to eat him.

If Austria’s Prince Metternich was here, he would say, “Palestine is a purely geographic expression.” And there’s no such thing as an “historic Palestine.” No country by that name ever existed, nor can any Arabic-speaking state be called by that name, because the Arabic language doesn’t even have a “P” sound.
