BIDEN WANTS TO UNILATERALLY SURRENDER ISRAEL TO HAMAS

Joe-surrender

Who the fuck is the anti-Semitic asshole in the White House and the anti-Semitic Obama acolytes pulling Biden’s strings and changing his diapers? Not content with surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban, openly barbaric terrorists, Biden now wants to surrender Israel to Hamas, again, openly barbaric terrorists.

‘It’s time for this war to end,’ Biden says, laying out Israeli ceasefire proposal.
“At this point, Hamas no longer is capable of carrying out another Oct. 7,” the U.S. president said.

[OCS: With unguided rockets impacting civilian areas of Israel daily, the war is far from over, and Hamas is not sufficiently degraded to prevent another terror attack using a different attack strategy. Where is the demand for unconditional surrender, cessation of hostilities, disarmament, and immediate return of all hostages as bodies prior to any “negotiations?” In fact, who will be at the table?]

U.S. President Joe Biden laid out the terms of a new Israeli ceasefire-for-hostages proposal on Friday that includes a permanent end to hostilities and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

[OCS: Who is this putz to speak for Israel? And why would Israel leave Hamas in place as the governing body while pumping humanitarian aid and reconstruction supplies into an openly hostile nation. Israel is a sovereign nation and Joe Biden plays no part in its governance.]

Speaking in the State Dining Room at the White House, Biden said Israel proposed a three-phase ceasefire deal to Hamas through Egyptian, Qatari, and U.S. mediators.

“For the past several months, my negotiators, of the foreign policy, intelligence community, and the like, have been relentlessly focused, not just on a ceasefire that would inevitably be fragile and temporary, but on a durable end of the war,” Biden said. “That’s been the focus—a durable end to this war.”

At a background briefing after the speech, a senior U.S. administration official told reporters that the Israeli proposal was “nearly identical to Hamas’s own proposals.”

“If that’s what Hamas wants, they can take the deal,” the official said. “Alternatively, if its leaders choose to live deep underground, holding innocent hostages, including women, the war goes on, and the people of Gaza suffer. That would be their choice.”

Biden described the deal as “the Israeli proposal,” although the senior U.S. official said that “this proposal has been accepted by Israel.”

JNS sought clarity on the apparent discrepancy between the White House and the National Security Council. “This is ultimately an Israeli proposal that was put together in coordination with the U.S., Egypt and Qataris,” a National Security Council spokeswoman told JNS.

[OCS: It appears Israel was not a participant in the negotiations.]

The U.S. president said he wants a future “without Hamas in power” but described a series of steps that did not include the elimination of the terror group or its surrender.

[OCS: FUCK BIDEN, FUCK OBAMA, FUCK BLINKEN, FUCK SULLIVAN!]

“The first phase would last for six weeks,” Biden said. “Here’s what it would include: a full and complete ceasefire. The withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza. Release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly, the wounded, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.”

That phase, which would also include the return of some of the remains of dead hostages and the continued daily delivery of 600 trucks of aid to the Palestinians, would lead to an indefinite period of negotiations between Israel and Hamas to end the war, he said.

“During the six weeks of phase one, Israel and Hamas would negotiate the necessary arrangements to get to phase two, which is a permanent end to hostilities,” the president added. “The proposal says if the negotiations take longer than six weeks from phase one, the ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue.”

[OCS: Read the Quran, this is an old Islamic trick to buy time to recover, re-arm, and prepare for the next attack. Who do you negotiate and will they keep their word? History says that Hamas broke the last cease-fire on October 7 and cannot be trusted.]

The United States, Egypt and Qatar “would work to ensure negotiations keep going until all the agreements are reached and phase two is able to begin,” Biden added.

In the second phase, “Israeli forces will withdraw from Gaza” and release additional Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of all remaining living hostages, the president said. Quoting the text of the proposal, he said that at that point, the ceasefire would become “the cessation of hostilities permanently.”

[OCS: This is bullshit that will kill the remaining hostages and all that will be left are dead bodies—which appears to be acceptable to the White House, even though there were American hostages.]

The third phase would include the reconstruction of Gaza and the return of any remaining dead hostages.

[OCS: FUCK THAT!]

During the third phase, Biden said that the United States, Arab nations, the international community, along with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, would ensure that Hamas is not allowed to rearm.

The second and third phases are open-ended, allowing for additional negotiation, but the senior U.S. official told reporters that each is envisioned to last about 42 days.

[OCS: Wishful thinking and bullshit!]

Who is pulling the strings...

Obama backs Israel-Hamas cease-fire road map: ‘It can save lives’

Former President Obama offered his endorsement of the Israel-Hamas cease-fire road map that President Biden announced Friday, arguing “it can save lives” and provide some security for both Israel and Palestinians in Gaza.

Obama called it a “realistic” and “just” plan to end the Israel-Hamas war, bring hostages home and increase aid into Gaza to relieve dire conditions facing Palestinians almost eight months into the war.

“A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank,” Obama said in a Friday post on social platform X.

“But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now – and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.” <Source>

Anti-Semitic, un-American Barack Hussein Obama is now out of the closet, and his fingerprints are all over this non-deal. This communist fuckwad said he would fundamentally change America--and apparently, he has done so, and not in a good way!

Bottom line…

How about another proposal? We will return to your 12th-century and level one city per day until you surrender and execute 100 prisoners for every Israeli killed.

Of course, Biden's proposal was delivered on Sabbath when Israel couldn't respond.

We are so screwed.

TODAY, JUSTICE DIED IN NEW YORK

Lady-justice-1

TRUMP GUILTY  OF LEGAL ACTIVITY

Former President Donald J. Trump was found guilty by an overwhelmingly progressive democrat New York jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The trial, which began in April, and the verdict marked both the first prosecution and conviction of a former president in U.S. history. Trump's sentencing is set for July 11.

A denial of venue change, a corrupt Soros-backed prosecutor, Alvin Bragg,  a White House/DOJ plant and paid prosecutor, Former Acting Associate Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice, Matthew Colangelo, and corrupt Judge, Juan Merchant,  are all guilty of election interference in a presidential election.

The most egregious actions include elevating a misdemeanor to a felony using never-before-legal machinations, an unstated criminal predicate, the suppression of exculpatory evidence and defense testimony from the CFO of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg, and election law expert Brad Smith, and overtly biased jury instructions that demanded a conviction--not to mention an unconstitutional gag order that prevented Trump from talking about the details of a conflicted judge.

Unless we poll the jury or see the jury’s work forms, we still do not know what crimes Trump was found guilty of.

Former President Donald Trump responds...

"This was a rigged, disgraceful trial and the real verdict is going to be November 5 by the people. Everyone knows what happened here... it's ok. I'm fighting for our country. I'm fighting for our Constitution." -- Donald Trump

BREAKING NEWS:

A jury of twelve ordinary citizens just found Donald Trump GUILTY on all 34 counts in the People of the State of New York v. Trump case of falsifying business records to cover up campaign finance violations during the 2016 presidential election.

[OCS: Twelve individuals selected from an overwhelmingly progressive communist democrat district. Trunp was never charged nor convicted of campaign finance violation.]

It is the first conviction of a former U.S. president in history.

Today is an important affirmation of the rule of law. No one individual, no matter how powerful or rich, is above the law. Not even a former President of the United States. Anything less is not democracy.

[OCS: This was a show trial with a corrupt prosecutor and a corrupt judge. It was not an affirmation of the rule of law, but its anthesis.]

Trump’s felony convictions will not bar him from running for President, and we will still need to defeat him in November. And as we saw outside the courthouse immediately after the verdict, he will be even more aggressive in attacking the democratic guardrails protecting our institutions.

[OCS: The democratic guardrails protecting our institutions have long been breached by the progressive communist democrats under both Obama's and Biden's administrations.]

So this is no time to let up in our efforts to ensure a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. Rush $10 to my campaign before our May fundraising deadline at midnight tomorrow to help defeat Trump and defend the rule of law >>

Stephen, moments ago, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up campaign finance violations during the 2016 election.

Twelve ordinary American citizens decided the legal fate of Donald Trump. Proving that nobody – not even a former President of the United States or (pretend) billionaire – is above the law.

And despite Trump’s efforts to distract, delay, and deny – justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same. And by a jury of his peers.

[OCS: This was not a jury of his peers.]

My takeaway:

Our system of justice worked. Our rule of law withstood the immense pressure Trump brought to bear. Notwithstanding the enormous stresses on our democracy, the system is holding. And accountability matters.

[OCS: Our system of justice has been compromised by the progressive communist democrats and has failed Donald Trump, our nation, and you and me.]

Winning the presidency may now be the only thing remaining between Trump and avoiding prison time — either in this prosecution or three others — and he has shown he will tear down the entire system of American democracy to protect himself and return to power. WE MUST NOT LET HIM. Thousands of Democrats are sending in contributions to hold Trump accountable at the ballot box. Join them and chip in just $10 to my campaign today before tomorrow’s May fundraising deadline.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

As-d

Make no mistake, this verdict will only increase Donald Trump’s attempts to discredit the justice system and tear down our democracy. His enablers in Congress will do the same.

We need to call those efforts out for exactly what they are:

A blind attempt to protect a now-convicted felon, and deeply immoral human being, in the headlong pursuit of power.

[OCS: This bullshit is coming from Adam Schiff, one of the worst democrats to serve in Congress and who wants to be elevated to the Senate where he can better practice his progressive communist democrat corruption.]

Because justice prevailed today. Justice.

And it’s up to each of us to make sure the justice system continues to hold him accountable. In federal cases in Washington, D.C. and Florida and the state case in Georgia.

And in November, we MUST defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box. That will be the ultimate accountability and affirmation of our democracy.

Thanks for standing up for the rule of law and the cherished legacy of our founders.

– Adam

[OCS: We must defeat ADAM SCHIFF AND hold him accountable for his many crimes!]

Preparing for the next Obama/Biden attack...

In a desperate attempt to win back their declining black vote, look for the Obama/Biden team to resurrect the debunked claim that Donald Trump used the N-word while taping The Apprentice. With today's deep fakes, I wouldn't be surprised if someone, even the CIA or FBI,  creates a phony tape as an October surprise,

Bottom line…

Justice was perverted in today's New York show trial with the criminalization of politics by the progressive communist democrats. You cannot blame the jury as they seemed to be following the Judge’s Judge’s biased instructions, which made conviction easier than acquittal.

Let us remember that prosecutors never identified an underlying felony to the resurrected misdemeanor bookkeeping charges that had lapsed years ago; the Judge allowed boundless character testimony prejudicial to Trump; and provided biased and confusing instructions to the jury. 

For example, the Judge's direction that jurors didn’t need to find the defendant unanimously guilty of committing a felony to resurrect the misdemeanor recordkeeping charges that had expired under the statute of limitation.  Jurors would have to find only that Trump committed bookkeeping infractions to conceal a campaign finance violation, tax law infraction, or falsification of business records. They didn’t have to agree on the underlying crime to find the former president guilty.

BTW: The Judge was hand-picked for all Trump-related prosecutors and is only an "Acting Judge."

Look for Biden to withdraw from the debate as it would be unseemly for a president to debate a convicted felon. And then withdraw from the race. 

The fight will continue. The question you must ask yourself is: What will happen to our country, our nation, and you if we do not win the next election? 

We are so screwed.

DID TRUMP CONVICT HIMSELF?

Trump-usa

Let me preface this blog post by saying that I believe the entire Alvin Brag court case against Donald Trump, presided over by Judge Juan Merchan, is an Obama/Biden/DOJ political hit job against a viable presidential candidate.

I also believe that Trump’s actions were legal, and the conduct of both prosecutor Bragg and Judge Merchan was so egregious as to constitute prosecutable felonious interference in a presidential election and subornation of perjury.

And, while I hope that a jury member, acting against type, hangs the jury and creates a mistrial, I also hope that former President Trump does not exacerbate the situation with needless foolishness.

If the jury returns a guilty verdict, it will be partly attributable to Trump’s apparent interference in his own legal defense, undermining his defense for political reasons, with potentially disastrous consequences.

The Perils of Politicizing Your Defense in a Criminal Trial

  • The Prudence of Competent Legal Expertise:  It is essential to recognize the expertise of defense attorneys who have dedicated their lives to understanding the law, crafting defense strategies, and navigating the complex web of legal procedures. Sidestepping this expertise in favor of political posturing, the defendant risks making critical errors, namely attempting to make political points instead of legal ones and that could be easily avoided by listening to competent legal counsel.

  • Political Motivations and a Mixed Agenda Can Cloud Judgment: When a defendant focuses on appealing to their political base or making a political statement, they often lose sight of the primary goal: securing an acquittal or the most favorable outcome possible. It is an immutable fact that courtrooms are not platforms for political theater; they are arenas where facts, evidence, and legal arguments hold sway. Injecting politics into one’s defense can lead to presenting irrelevant or inflammatory arguments that alienate judges and juries.

  • Undermining Your Own Credibility: A politically charged defense can undermine a defendant’s credibility. Jury members, who are tasked with impartially weighing the evidence, may view overtly political protestations with suspicion. Skepticism can extend to the defendant’s motives and character, potentially swaying the jury towards a conviction.

  • The Fallout of a Politically Charged Defense: The ramifications of a politically motivated defense extend beyond the courtroom, as a conviction can lead to long-term consequences, including imprisonment, fines, and a permanent criminal record—possibly overshadowing any short-term political gains achieved during the trial. Even if there is overwhelming vindication during the appeal process, the future damage is incalculable.

Furthermore, a high-profile politicized trial can set legal precedents that affect future cases, potentially making it more difficult for others to mount effective defenses in politically charged environments.

Andrew McCarthy, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, weighs in…

Merchan and Trump Conceal the Holes in Bragg’s Case

Let me preface this by saying that the fix is in here, so maybe it didn’t matter what the defense did in this case. Still, strategically speaking, Team Trump has presented one of the most ill-conceived, self-destructive defenses I have ever seen in decades of trying and analyzing criminal cases. The reason for this is clear: Trump insisted that his lawyers subordinate his defense at trial to the political narrative he wants to spin in the 2024 campaign. In this instance, the legal and political strategies cannot be synced. Hence, Trump is helping Bragg get his coveted convictions.

Against the weight of evidence and common sense, Trump insists on telling voters that Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal — respectively, the porn star and Playboy model who quite credibly allege to have had flings with Trump circa 2006 — are lying. But no one with even passing familiarity with Trump’s combative and parsimonious nature would believe for a second (a) that he would agree to pay $130,000 to Stormy and $150,000 to McDougal if they were falsely claiming to have had affairs with him, or (b) that Cohen would have paid Stormy, and Trump’s pal David Pecker would have paid McDougal, unless Trump had green-lighted the payments and assured them of repayment. Since Trump knows that, if he acknowledges being complicit in the payment arrangements, voters will conclude his denials of the affairs are lies, Trump has decided he must distance himself from the NDA payments.

Politically speaking, this is dumb because voters long ago made up their minds about Trump’s extramarital affairs, and if he admitted them at this point, he’d merely be admitting what is notorious and not credibly deniable.

Legally speaking, Trump’s gambit is disastrous. It makes no sense in a criminal courtroom for a defendant to deny his complicity in legal conduct when there is daunting evidence that he was complicit up to his neck. The prosecutors framed the case to the jury as a criminal conspiracy to bury damaging information. That’s not a crime, and NDAs are legal. But rather than go with that, his best defense, Trump has acted guilty: As if a candidate’s suppression of negative information, rather than routine, is criminally condemnable, and as if the NDAs are radioactive — the diabolical compacts of Cohen and Pecker from which he must stay a millions miles away (a choice at which the evidence is having a hearty laugh). For Bragg, this is a gift from prosecutorial heaven.

That is why, sometime this week, probably sooner rather than later, former president Donald Trump, the de facto Republican presidential nominee, will be convicted of multiple felonies.

<Read the entire article at National Review.>

From Judge Marchan's instructions to the jury...

Post-Summation Instructions (People v. Donald J. Trump)

INTENT TO DEFRAUD

In order to prove an intent to defraud, the People need not prove that the defendant acted with the intent to defraud any particular person or entity. A general intent to defraud any person or entity suffices.

INTENT TO COMMIT OR CONCEAL ANOTHER CRIME

For the count of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, the intent to defraud must include an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.

Under our law, although the People must prove an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof, they need not prove that the other crime was in fact committed, aided, or concealed.

[OCS: This is a thought crime.]

“By Unlawful Means”

Although you must conclude unanimously that the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were.

In determining whether the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you may consider the following unlawful means: (1) violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act otherwise known as FECA; (2) the falsification of other business records; or (3) violation of tax laws.

[OCS: Donald Trump has not been convicted of any of the above crimes, although he is probably one of the most scrutinized and investigated men in America.]

NEW YORK ELECTION LAW § 17-152 PREDICATE

The People allege that the other crime the defendant intended to commit, aid, or conceal is a violation of New York Election Law section 17-152.

[OCS: How can you be charged for a crime you allegedly intended to commit, aid, or conceal--even if you were never charged or convicted?]

I smell the overwhelming stench of bullshit. New York does not have jurisdiction over Federal Crimes. The Statute of Limitations on a misdemeanor was expired. Several agencies have looked at this very fact pattern and have declined to prosecute. Nothing happened until a doddering Biden and his campaign found itself outmatched and outclassed.

Bottom line…

I am already preparing to be called a "justice denier."

Interfering in one's defense for political reasons is not just unwise but grossly stupid--a gamble where the stakes are too high and the odds too unfavorable. The courtroom is no place for political grandstanding. It is a place for measured, strategic defense designed to uphold justice and protect individual rights. Anything less is a disservice to the defendant and a mockery of the judicial process.

There is little doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is transactional and overawed by those with impressive credentials, wealth, or good looks. Trump's choice of associates and attorneys over the years has been terrible, and he is ill-served by those who tell him what he wants to hear.

Yet, he loves America and manages to do the right thing at the right time--and is infinitely more valuable to America than any progressive communist democrat.

There should be no doubt that we are in a quasi-police state with a two-tiered system of justice that is being manipulated by the regime in power. 

We are so screwed.

GAVIN NEWSOM SCREWS THE POOCH, AGAIN!

Can you imagine this buffoon, Newsom becoming President of the United States—he can!

Gavin-newsom-gas

Widely regarded as a “prick” among his fellow governors, Governor “Gruesome” Newsom screws the pooch again!

California’s $25-an-Hour Minimum-Wage Boomerang
Gov. Newsom now says the law he signed last October would add to the state’s fiscal woes. He ignored warnings at the time.

Progressives in Sacramento rarely think twice before burdening businesses. But lo and behold, they are having second thoughts about California’s new $25-an-hour minimum wage for healthcare workers. Why? Because its burdensome budget costs are threatening liberal programs.

[OCS: The Governor and his uniparty progressive communist democrats could care less about their constituency. Build a multi-billion dollar moderate speed rail line to nowhere and feed consultants, unions, and the special interests, no problemo. Put the same money into prisons and law enforcement, no can do.]

California’s Democratic Legislature is scrambling this week to delay the state’s higher healthcare minimum wage, which is scheduled to take effect on June 1. It’s not uncommon for politicians to reverse themselves, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom is walking back a law that he signed only last October. What’s changed?

The state’s budget deficit has ballooned to $45 billion. Mr. Newsom projects that the new healthcare minimum wage would cost the state $4 billion more a year owing to higher Medicaid costs and compensation for workers at state-owned facilities. Legislative analyses warned about these costs, but Mr. Newsom signed the law anyway.

Thus the minimum wage for healthcare workers is set to rise to between $18 and $23 an hour this Saturday, depending on the type and size of healthcare provider. California’s current minimum wage for all workers is $16 an hour. Nearly all workers at healthcare facilities including janitors will have to be paid at least $25 an hour by 2028.

[OCS: In what universe does a fulltime janitor make $51,000/year plus benefits. And remember those other salaries proportionally linked to minimum wage. This is what communist wealth distribution looks like as it hollows-out the middle class.]

Democrats shrugged when healthcare providers warned that the wage mandate could force cuts to patient services. Who cares if Californians wait longer before being seen at the ER? But now Democrats worry that the state’s higher health costs could force bigger government spending cuts. Oh no. Californians may have to wait even longer for their bullet train to nowhere.

Mr. Newsom is proposing to tie health worker minimum-wage increases to the state’s general fund revenue and to exempt state facilities. But once capital-gains revenue picks up again, California’s private healthcare providers will be stuck paying for the wage mandate, which they will ultimately pass on to patients. Far better to repeal the $25 wage minimum en toto.

As usual, Democrats don’t want to eat their own lousy cooking. Gov. Newsom this spring also signed legislation to carve out fast-food restaurants on government property from California’s new $20-an-hour fast-food minimum wage, which kicked in last month. Democrats don’t want the mandate interfering with government concession licenses.

[OCS: Ask about special interest carve outs and exemptions from new fast food worker minimum wage laws for Newsom’s friends at Panera Bread. Ask about the non-disclosure agreement (NDA). ]

When government raises wages above what the market commands, employers will increase prices and reduce labor. California, QED. <Source>

[OCS: One only need look at fast food prices and the number of food service workers who have lost their jobs—with nary a peep from the communists at the SEIU (Service Employees International Union.)

Bottom line…

Californians and their businesses are deserting the State’s high taxes, unfavorable business climate, and onerous, nonsensical regulations for more favorable environments. Leaving the State to illegal aliens who are rapidly depleting California’s reserves and safety nets. Viva la progressive communist democrat revolutions that is destroying the once Golden State from within.

No matter how they slice the pizza, it is the taxpayer who pays for the pie and ALL the toppings.

We are so screwed.

AT TRUMP TRIAL, DE NIRO PLAYS "RAGING BULLSHIT"

Once again, a failing, washed-up actor, Robert Di Niro, plays a “tough guy” in a bid to maintain relevance and possibly snag a prestigious position in the Biden Administration.

DINIRO

Since the jury has not been sequestered, is this a protest or jury tampering?

Biden Campaign Unleashes Trump Derangement Syndrome Patient Robert De Niro Outside New York Courthouse
Robert De Niro: Donald Trump Victory Means U.S.’ Government Will Perish from the Earth’

This is my neighborhood, downtown New York City.

I grew up here and feel at home in these streets. I feel comfortable.

The Twin Towers fell just over here. Just over there. This part of the city was like a ghost town, but we found we would not allow terrorists to change our way of life.

And we started the Tribeca Festival to bring people back. I love this city.

I love this city. I don’t want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country. And eventually he could destroy the world.

But we vowed we would not allow terrorists. I owe this city a lot.

And that’s why it’s so weird that Donald Trump is just across the street.

Because he doesn’t belong in my city. I don’t know where he belongs, but he shouldn’t. He doesn’t belong here.

We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot, a two bit Playboy lying his way into the tabloids, pretending to be a spokesman, a spokesperson for himself. He was calling it as himself for himself, to fool the press into inflating his net worth. A clown, but this city is pretty accommodating. We make room for clowns. We have them all over the city. People who do crazy things in the street. We tolerate it. It’s part of the city. It’s part of the culture.

[OCS: This “grubby real estate hustler” changed the New York skyline, brought billions of dollars into New York, and gave employment to thousands of men and women, regardless of color, sex, national origin, or religion – unlike a grubby actor who reads lines written by others and confers greatness upon himself with paid public relations campaigns.]

But not a person like Trump who’ll eventually run the country. That does not work. And we all know that.

Anyway, we make room for clowns. To each his own, but no one takes him or took him really seriously.

They take him seriously now, of course.

But around the country, people who didn’t know him as we did started to support him. They bought into his bullshit.

Trump bought their votes with outrageous lies and empty promises. He got the most religious evangelicals to applaud a sinner who bragged about sexual assault. And just a couple of blocks from here, a jury found him liable for sexual abuse.

[OCS: Unlike Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, and a legion of Hollywood actors, this was a false allegation from a person who could not recount a single detail or had recanted her allegations in previous media encounters.]

Somehow, he even got self-styled patriots to support a man who called for terminating the constitution.

[OCS: Another bald-faced liar from a pathetic 80-year-old man in makeup reading his script.]

And on January 6th, rallied an angry mob to threaten democracy, leaving death and destruction in its wake.

[OCS: This bald-faced lie can easily be proven by sworn testimony and deposition transcripts taken under oath.]

That’s why I needed to be involved and wanted to be involved in the new Biden-Harris, ad, because it shows the violence of Trump and reminds us that he’ll use violence against anyone who stands in the way of his megalomania and greed.

[OCS: This is pure projection. The only violence we saw in this country came from De Niro’s radical left pals who literally burned cities, committed murder and mayhem, and destroyed $2 billion in public and private property.]

But it’s a coward’s violence. You think Trump ever threw a punch himself or took one?

[OCS: This comes from an actor whose fights are choreographed, and nobody gets hurt.]

This guy who ran and hid in the White House bunker when there were protesters outside?

[OCS: Here was a guy who was hustled to safety by the Secret Service as a response to far-left radicals attacking the White House. Regarding safety, a President cannot override Secret Service orders.]

No way. He doesn’t get blood on his hands. No he doesn’t. He directs the mob to do his dirty work for him by making a suggestion and inference. He and his gang rivals, and follows his obvious order.

It’s no surprise that the murder rate and other violent crimes peaked under Trump, and a falling under Biden, and now he’s promising to use our own military to attack U.S. citizens.

[OCS: This is another half-faced lie as De Niro’s pals defund the police, fail to halt criminals, crazies, and terrorists at the border, and release hardened criminals into our communities. There has been no promise to use our military against U.S. citizens.]

That’s the tyrant. That’s the tyrant he’s telling us he’ll be. And believe me, he means it.

When Trump ran in 2016, it was like a joke. This buffoon running for President-- nah, never could happen.

We’d forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren’t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators.

With Trump, we have a second chance, and no one is laughing. Now, this is the time to stop him by voting him out once and for all.

We don’t want to wake up after the election saying what again? My God, what the hell have we done? We can’t have that happen again.

[OCS: Remember, De Niro is supporting a corrupt, traitorous candidate who is physically and mentally unable to perform the duties of the President, let alone the Commander-in-Chief. Taking his orders from his Obama handlers, being rewarded with ice cream, and being able to watch his favorite television shows. That’s when he is not vacationing and receiving secret medical treatments.]

Yesterday was Memorial Day. It’s a good time to reflect on how Americans fought and died, so that we may enjoy the freedoms guaranteed to us by a democratic government, a government that is President Lincoln said of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

[OCS: De Niro, playing politics on the backs of dead heroes who fought for our freedom and liberty.]

Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the earth.

[OCS: It was Obama and Biden that gave us today’s quasi-police state and two-tiered system of justice. It is the progressive communist democrats who are destroying our nation.]

I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait. Maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted and elections. Forget about it. That’s all that’s done.

[OCS: That’s the Democrats in a nutshell—lies and scare tactics.]

If he gets in, I can tell you right now he will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave. What does that mean? Is that the country we want to live in, do we want him running this country and saying, I’m not leaving, I’m dictator for life.

[OCS: If he is so diabolical, why did he start the transition to Biden before the inauguration and avoid being at the turnover ceremony?]

I hope this new ad campaign reaches outside the bubble to remind supporters of what a danger he is to our lives.

[OCS: The clear and present danger is the progressive communist democrats—look at any major city they govern and see our future.]

This is not a threat. This is a reality.

And that’s why I’ve joined the Biden-Harris campaign.

Because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold on to our humanity is to vote for Joe Biden for President.

[OCS: This is a sick joke, mainly because Biden and Harris are not likely to be the nominees after the election.]

Really do. We don’t have a choice.

On January 6th, while Republican lawmakers despicably tried to keep the loser Trump, the loser Trump in the White House and Trump inspired insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, brave men and women from law enforcement put their lives on the line to defend this country. Our democracy. They are the true heroes.

[OCS: Fuck you, Bobby, and the traitors you stand with.

Bottom line…

Are you going to believe a jumped-up actor or Donald Trump, the leader who was bringing prosperity to the nation? The man who had contained Russia and China. A man who was forging peace in the Middle East? Or Democrat traitors who are destroying America from within?

Biden’s message: We are going to protect you from a dictator by becoming dictators.

We are so screwed.

LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS DARKLY

Glass-darkly
How evil are the Democrats and establishment Republicans?

The famed Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman was a man of first principles and a deconstructionist. He took the component parts of a problem and rearranged them to see if a greater truth emerged.

And as much as I abhor accusing our country of a heinous crime against humanity, I couldn’t help but consider a fact pattern that leads to an extremely dark conclusion, not a conspiracy, that hundreds of thousands of innocents have been killed or injured in a U.S. CIA/Department of State operation to simultaneously degrade Russia’s economy and military capabilities—while simultaneously enriching multinational energy companies and current and retired political and military actors who sit on their boards or own their stocks?

That the attempt to destroy or discredit former President Donald Trump is simply a precautionary measure to contain an awful truth? And that the current Iranian-backed actions in Gaza are a distraction from the bigger picture that would see numerous American politicians in the dock at The Hague for war crimes against humanity in Ukraine.

It appears that Ukraine is at the center of all the corrupt politics that is destroying America from within.

From the misuse of billions of taxpayer dollars to the attempt to cover up nefarious criminal activities of high-ranking government actors and non-governmental organizations, the same players seem to be involved, including high-ranking officials of our once premier intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

There is no reason we should not believe former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, when she declared, “Ukraine is a battleground for great power competition, with a hot war for the control of territory and a hybrid war to control Ukraine’s leadership.” And, might I add, oil pipelines into Europe?

Likewise, Ukraine is undoubtedly a vast source of covert power and untold riches for those with connections to politicians. Any attempt to disrupt the tentacles of power or flow of riches will be met with serious, if not lethal, resistance.

On one level, Ukraine is a U.S. proxy being used to degrade the Russian economy and military might. On another level, Ukraine is a battlefield over the gateway of economic oil and gas flowing from Russia into the European marketplace, competing with higher-cost American exports, seeking to use the developed Ukraine oil and gas distribution infrastructure to distribute American petroleum products.

So far, what we have observed can be described as “business as usual.” There is nothing new about the CIA and State Department’s involvement in the petroleum industry, from the 1953 toppling of the government of Iran, which threatened to nationalize the petroleum industry, to the present day.

In 1953, the CIA, in collaboration with British intelligence, orchestrated a coup d'état in Iran, code-named Operation Ajax, to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. Mossadegh had nationalized Iran's oil industry, which had previously been under British control through the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), later known as British Petroleum (BP). The nationalization threatened British and American interests in the region, leading to covert actions to remove Mossadegh from power and reinstate the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, as the ruler of Iran. This event had significant long-term consequences for Iran and the region, contributing to the eventual Iranian Revolution in 1979.

Along with the coverup of government machinations, we find the malign hand of billionaire George Soros, who tried to capture Ukraine President Victor Yanukovych’s support of a proposed 2013 IMF trade deal that would require the privatization of Naftogaz, the national oil and gas company of Ukraine, to satisfy further IMF loan commitments.

When Yanukovych turned toward Russia, the coup was on, with Victoria Nuland, then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the United States Department of State, leading the charge. The Maidan Color Revolution resulted in significant political changes in Ukraine, including the election of a new president, Petro Poroshenko, in May 2014.

In October 2014, Soros referred to Naftogaz as “a black hole in the budget and a major source of corruption,” calling for radical reforms that could reduce Ukraine’s dependence on Russian gas."

I will spare you the lengthy recital of players, including CIA-protected Hunter Biden’s involvement in Burisma and Joe Biden’s recorded self-confession of a quid-pro-quo extortion in Ukraine.

Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. However, it’s essential to consider that Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings, the largest private gas player in Ukraine, where Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, served on the board with zero experience in petroleum, Ukraine, or Ukraninan legal matters. He was the gateway to Joe Biden's political influence. 

Bottom line...

Needless to say, these people fear a Trump Presidency and will try anything, and I mean anything, to stop him.

We are so screwed.

MEMORIAL DAY 2024

On this Memorial Day, 2024 …

Cartoonist Michael Ramirez says it all...

MR

Today, we commemorate our brave soldiers who died or were grievously wounded to safeguard our precious freedom. As we reflect on these sacrifices, let us honor their lives and consider and condemn those who would waste their magnificent contribution to America by knowingly collaborating with our enemies or restricting our God-given inalienable rights enshrined in our Constitution.

Those politicians, jurists, and others who overtly or covertly undermine or subvert our Constitution are every bit the foe of every American as if they were standing on the battlefield under arms.

Freedom is being squandered by self-serving traitors selling out our nation and its citizens for temporary political power.

While our troops fought to protect each other and our nation, today's political leadership, from the corrupt, incompetent, uncaring politicians, the bureaucratic cadre of progressive communist democrats, the activist judiciary that creates laws out of whole cloth, and those big technology multinationals that surreptitiously provide aid and comfort to our enemies, you are all little more than traitors in the battle to preserve America and American freedom.

Be grateful for your freedom; remember, it should never be taken for granted. In just a few cycles of progressive communist democrat intervention, we have seen our national resolve, military strength, and stature within the international community eroded by corrupt, incompetent, and uncaring progressive communist democrats. Our enemy appears to own the Democrat Party, which should rightly brand itself as the U.S. Communist Party.

Remember who we are and what we stand for -- and kick the bastards that do not agree to the curb.

The Patriotic Kid wishes you and yours a worshipful memorial day …

Our men and women in uniform, their civilian support services, and their families are sacrificing to keep this nation strong and free.

A SOLDIER Died Today

He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast

and he sat around the Legion telling stories of the past,
Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done
In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, everyone.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales no longer, for old Bob has passed away
And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.

No he won't be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,
For he lived an ordinary very quiet sort of life,
He held a job and raised a family, quietly going on his way;
And the world won't note his passing; 'tho a solder died today.

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great,
Papers tell of their life stories from the time that they were young,
But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land
some jerk who breaks his promise and cons his fellow man?
Or the ordinary fellow who in time of war and strife
Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?

The politician's stipend and the style in which he lives
Are sometimes disproportionate to the services he gives,
While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal, and perhaps a pension small.

It's so easy to forget them, for it was so long ago
That our Bob's and Jim's and Johnny's went to battle, but we know
It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys
Who won for us the freedom that our country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger with your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out with his ever waffling stand?
Or would you want a soldier who has sworn to defend
His home, his kin, and country, and would fight until the end?

He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin
But his presence should remind us, we may need his like again.
For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say:

"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY".

NO JOKE: BIDEN WANTS BLACKS TO HONOR THUG DRUGGIE GEORGE FLOYD BY VOTING DEMOCRAT

No joke! As he panders to a declining black constituency, the President of the United States is actually honoring a drug-addled thug who died of a drug overdose while resisting police arrest.

The official word...

Statement From President Joe Biden on Four Years Since George Floyd’s Murder

The day before George Floyd’s funeral, his young daughter Gianna told me, “Daddy changed the world.” Four years after her father’s murder, there is no doubt that he has.

[OCS: Another one of Joe Biden’s lies about his involvement in the civil rights movement while being a racist, segregationist, and attempting to stop civil rights legislation.]

George Floyd should be alive today. His murder shook the conscience of our nation and reminded us that our country has never fully lived up to its highest ideal of fair and impartial justice for all under the law. What we witnessed as a result was one of the largest modern civil rights movements in our Nation’s history, with people from every background marching together against racism and systemic injustice.

[OCS: George Floyd was not murdered. He died from a self-inflicted drug overdose, complicated by underlying medical conditions while resisting arrest. What we witnessed was a coordinated communist attack on our nation by democrats and their thuggish allies—with nobody held responsible for the murder, mayhem, arson, looting, and two billion in damage to public and private property.]

Two years ago, alongside George Floyd’s family, civil rights leaders, and law enforcement officials, I signed an executive order to implement key aspects of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act with respect to federal law enforcement, including: restricting chokeholds and no-knock warrants, and establishing a database for police misconduct—all measures to advance effective, transparent and accountable policing.

[OCS: Real justice in policing would see the release of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, a political prisoner of the progressive democrat party whose trial was a miscarriage of justice. What we now see is a political party that treats criminals as victims while ignoring the actual victims. A political party that advocates defunding the police and releasing hardened criminals into our communities. A political party that promotes petty crime in our neighborhoods.]

My Administration has made significant progress in implementing this Executive Order, and will continue our work to build public trust and strengthen public safety. But real and lasting change at the state and local level will only come when Congress acts. That’s why I will continue to urge Congress to send the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which ensures law enforcement accountability, to my desk.

[OCS: Once again, everything the Democrats say is the opposite of what they do. They are not about building public trust and strengthening public safety. They are about pandering to one of their coalition constituency that commits a disproportionate amount of crime.]

As we mark this solemn day tomorrow, we join George Floyd’s family in remembering his life and his legacy. We are vigilant of Black and brown communities who all too often have borne the brunt of injustice; and we recommit ourselves to honoring George Floyd’s legacy by ensuring our Nation lives up to its founding ideal that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives.

[OCS: I find it abhorrent and repugnant that, on a day meant to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation’s freedom and liberty, we are being asked to remember a “garbage person” who did nothing for his country except help the progressive communist democrats to destroy it from within.]

<Source: The White House>

Bottom line…

Free Derek Chauvin, who did nothing wrong, and revile both Joe Biden and George Floyd, garbage people who did nothing but hurt our glorious and exceptional nation.

We are so screwed.

THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE ORDERS ISRAEL TO STOP ITS WAR ON TERROR IN RAFAH

There is no doubt that the terrorist group Hamas, the elected governing body of Gaza, did breach an existing cease-fire and viciously attacked Israel on October 7, which resulted in the death of 1,200+ innocent victims and continues to hold approximately 125 hostages. Likewise, there is no doubt that this is an act of genocidal war against Israel by an Iranian-funded and trained proxy.

Yet the United Nations International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to “Immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”

The Israeli action in Rafah is necessary to end the existence of the genocidal terrorists known as Hamas and is an action that is crucial to the protection of the Israeli population and the survival of the State of Israel. 

The Court’s Order

ICJ-LOGOApplication of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel)
Request for the modification of the Order of 28 March 2024
The Court reaffirms its previous provisional measures and indicates new measures

THE HAGUE, 24 May 2024. The International Court of Justice today delivered its Order on the request for the modification and the indication of provisional measures submitted by South Africa on 10 May 2024 in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel).

In its Order, the Court:

(1) By thirteen votes to two, Reaffirms the provisional measures indicated in its Orders of 26 January 2024 and 28 March 2024, which should be immediately and effectively implemented;

(2) Indicates the following provisional measures: The State of Israel shall, in conformity with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and in view of the worsening conditions of life faced by civilians in the Rafah Governorate:

(a) By thirteen votes to two, Immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(b) By thirteen votes to two, Maintain open the Rafah crossing for unhindered provision at scale of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance;

(c) By thirteen votes to two, Take effective measures to ensure the unimpeded access to the Gaza Strip of any commission of inquiry, fact-finding mission or other investigative body mandated by competent organs of the United Nations to investigate allegations of genocide;


(3) By thirteen votes to two, Decides that the State of Israel shall submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order, within one month as from the date of this Order.

Fuck off and die…

It is a proven fact that the United Nations’ facilities and funding were used in the attack on Israel, specifically the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

The UNRWA-Hamas Linkage

Since Hamas’ savage attack against Israel on October 7th 2023, the IDF has been operating in Gaza to eliminate Hamas’ military and governance capabilities and free the Israeli hostages. During this operation, a wealth of new intelligence has been gathered on Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and other terror organizations. Israeli forces have retrieved millions of documents in captured enemy material.

This new intelligence exposed two related issues: first, the involvement of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) employees in the October 7th massacre. Second, the deep and systemic infiltration by those terror organizations, particularly Hamas, into the ranks of UNRWA.

What are the new findings on UNRWA in Gaza?

The collection and analysis of the new information is still ongoing, yet it is already clear that a significant share of UNRWA’s employees in Gaza serve in the ranks of Hamas and other terror organizations, almost 500 of them in military positions. They fulfill various roles in UNRWA, including senior positions. For example, at least eighteen school principals in Gaza are members of Hamas’ military wing.

Over thirty UNRWA facilities in Gaza have been found to contain terror infrastructures such as tunnel shafts, reflecting a deeply concerning, and possibly systematic, abuse of the status of these facilities for terrorist purposes. Hamas operated a high-end server farm directly under UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters, with communication and electricity cables connecting both compounds.

Intelligence shows that Hamas considers UNRWA an essential asset both for maintaining its rule over Gaza and for exploiting its facilities to build terror infrastructure. It is not a case of “a few rotten apples”, as some have tried to portray it.

Multiple times in the past, Israel provided UNRWA with information on members of Hamas that the agency employs, yet no action was taken.

<Source>

Since Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is too diplomatic to tell the Court to “fuck off and die,” I will say it!

The International Court of Justice is a joke…

The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, was created to promote international peace and justice. However, it has been an abject failure in that role.

  1. Limited Jurisdiction: Adherence to Court rulings is voluntary, and the court's legal jurisdiction is restricted to cases where both parties agree to its authority. This compromises and limits the court's effectiveness in resolving disputes, as participants can tell the Court to “pound sand” and go away.

  2. Political Influence: The selection process for judges and the politicization of cases compromises the Court’s integrity and legitimacy, which casts doubt on the impartiality of its rulings. Powerful states may exert influence over the court’s decisions. Consider that the Court’s current President, Nawaf Salam, is an Arab from Lebanon, a failed state ruled by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, which is at war with Israel. Yet we find Salam voting to halt Israel’s response to the egregious October 7 attack by the terrorist group Hamas, another Iranian proxy, operating in Gaza.

  3. Enforcement Issues: The Court lacks its own enforcement mechanism and demands participatory nations breach their sovereignty to hold their citizens and organizations responsible to a foreign power.  This leads to selective or non-enforcement based on political considerations.

  4. Slow Proceedings: Cases brought before the ICJ can take years or even decades to resolve, preventing timely and effective remedies to injustice.

  5. Ineffectiveness in Resolving Major Conflicts: Despite the United Nations' mandate to prevent or settle conflicts, it has failed to address many of the most significant international conflicts in the world today.

  6. Internal Corruption: Many of those associated with the UN’s various operations are corrupt, venal, self-serving reprobates—some even participating in egregious activities they are charged with preventing.

Bottom line…

There comes a time when the insanity and corrupt self-interests of United Nations poohbahs just aren’t worth it anymore. The International Court of Justice is a corrupt political construct and cannot be trusted to address significant issues in today’s world at war.

The United States should limit its funding for the United Nations and its activities and relocate its operations to the Hague, where it belongs with all the other European grifters and appeasers.

We are so screwed.
