Things are imploding in the Middle East…again. This time, it might not be the Jews’ fault.
AOC sounds like she wants to shake up the Democratic party again.
And we can learn from this 70-year-old man.
Things are Imploding in the Middle East…Again
What a mess the Middle East is becoming. That’s a good thing for the Left because they can now blames the Jews again. Yeah, none of this is their fault but…you know.
At It Again
On Friday, the terrorist group Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel. FYI, Hezbollah is the terrorist group from Lebanon. Not to be confused with the Islamic Jihad, or the Palestinian Authority (which is in the West Bank and Gaza Strip), or Hamas.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
“A heavy barrage of close to 20 rockets were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Friday, activating the Iron Dome and setting off sirens throughout the area.”
The Israel National News reported:
“Air raid sirens sounded at 10:55a.m. Friday morning in Neve Ativ, Ein Qiniyye, and Kibbutz Snir in northern Israel. Local residents reported hearing explosions in the area. According to reports, the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted several of the ten rockets, which were fired at northern Israel from the Shebaa Farms in Lebanon.”
The Iron Dome that has been protecting Israel from these terrorists sects took down most of the missiles. Those that were not taken out landed harmlessly into open areas. No one hurt or killed and there was no damage done. This comes after three missiles were sent into Israel by Hezbollah last Wednesday.
The Washington Post reported:
“In a statement sent via WhatsApp, a media coordinator for Hezbollah said: ‘At 11:15 am on Friday, and in response to the Israeli air raids on open ground [in southern Lebanon] early Thursday, [two groups] in the Islamic resistance bombarded open land in the perimeter of the Israeli occupation’s positions in Shebaa Farms with tens of 122 mlm grade rockets.’”
I have not read anything about Israel sending missiles into Lebanon. But I have an idea why the government there would want to cause some chaos. It’s much the same reason the Palestinian Authority and Hamas did it a couple of months ago.
Lebanon’s Got Some Issues
The economy of Lebanon is collapsing in a way that is rarely seen.
- The massive explosion from last year in Beirut (killing 241 people) caused huge shortages in energy.
- Hyperinflation is gripping the economy.
- The World Bank says this government could be facing the worst depression since the 19th century.
The World Bank stated:
Lebanon’s GDP plummeted from close to US$ 55 billion in 2018 to an estimated US$ 33 billion in 2020, with US$ GDP/ capita falling by around 40 percent. Such a brutal and rapid contraction is usually associated with conflicts or wars.
This illustrates the magnitude of the economic depression that the country is enduring, with sadly no clear turning point on the horizon, given the disastrous deliberate policy inaction.
The social impact of the crisis, which is already dire, could rapidly become catastrophic; more than half the population is likely below the national poverty line. Lebanon, with a history of civil war and conflicts, faces realistic threats to its already fragile social peace.
The Wall Street Journal also reported:
Power outages have become so frequent that restaurants time their hours to the schedule of electricity from private generators. Brawls have erupted in supermarkets as shoppers rush to buy bread, sugar, and cooking oil before they run out or hyperinflation topping 400% for food puts the prices out of reach. Medical professionals have fled just as the pandemic hammers the country with a new wave of infections. Thefts are up 62% and murder rates are rising fast.
To give you an example of how bad this is, the United States is bitching about inflation. Our inflation is up 5.8%. This also shows you what garbage these totalitarian, terrorist governments. You know, the same type of governments that the Left is constantly telling is we should implement here.
And, yes, they are sympathetic to Hezbollah.
This is why Lebanon is attacking Israel. They need a diversion. Their government is falling apart. And watch, this will escalate as the depression gets worse and then they will blame Israel for striking them back and will be asking for money from the United States.
It’s No Party There Either
When the United States pulled out of Afghanistan, I said I didn’t care much because Afghanistan was pretty much a mess and it was always going to be a mess. I also mentioned that we really didn’t have a huge presence in Afghanistan (we haven’t lost a soldier there in a very long time) and we were able to control the Taliban and remain entrenched in the Middle East, so I understand why people wanted that presence to remain.
Joe Biden just decided to pull everyone out of the country. Of course, Right-leaning news organization said this was a bad idea because the government was weak, the military was not effective and the Taliban would start to take control of the country. They also said that this is a danger to the homeland because the Taliban has been known to train terrorists.
Well, those Right-leaning organizations might be right.
The Taliban seized control of the key northern city of Kunduz on Sunday, as well as Sar-e-Pul and Taloqan.
Oops.
That means five regional capitals have fallen to the Taliban since Friday, with Kunduz being their most important gain this year.
The capitol of Kabul is still safe, for now. The United States has been working with the government to bomb Taliban territory, killing several Taliban leadership.
Good job, Old Joe. Your crappy foreign policy has just led Afghanistan into a civil war.

AOC is Causing More Stress in Congress
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she is not ruling out a run for Senator against Chuck Schumer.
She said on CNN:
“I know it drives everybody nuts. But the way that I really feel about this, and the way that I really approach my politics and my political career is that I do not look at things and I do not set my course positionally.
“I know there’s a lot of people who do not believe that. But I really — I can’t operate the way that I operate and do the things that I do in politics while trying to be aspiring to other things or calculating to other things.”
“For what it’s worth, Senator Schumer and I have been working very closely on a lot of legislation and that, to me, is important.
“And so, we shall see.”
I think this would be delicious. Both are Leftist and both are mean as honey badgers. It would be wonderful to see these tear each other apart. AOC would definitely be the underdog. She stupid and very ineffectual. She down in the bottom rung when it comes to effectiveness and don’t think that’s going to come up. But these two are going to have to fight on the issues and that could be interesting.

Who Didn’t See This Coming?
For years, women’s groups in California have begged the state not to allow men into women’s prisons simply because they say they are men. But that has been made law and the state must follow it. Even men who have committed violent crimes against women would be allowed to be put into a women’s prison.
I’d want to be put into a women’s prison. Probably cleaner, less violent and there are women.
The state handled the controversy is by handing out condoms to the prisoners. No kidding.
In January of this year, California enacted SB 132 which allowed men who said they were women, even men with all their gear, to request a transfer to women’s prisons. So far, there have been 300 prisoners who have requested such a transfer. Notice, not a lot of women who are saying they are men are requesting a transfer to a men’s prison. So far, none of the requests have been denied and 20 have already been processed.
The Women’s Liberation Front has been fighting this law. Here enters the answer of handing out the condoms. The WLF said the response is “tacit admission by officials that women should expect to be raped when housed in prison with men,” which an inmate described to the group as “a nightmare’s worst nightmare.”
An inmate from the Central California Women’s Facility stated:
“How do we feel safe in our community? When we reach out for help we get nothing. There has been an assault on a woman and we still are silenced.”
Another inmate said:
“Does anyone care that we are being forced to house with 6’2, 250+ lbs men with penises that are here for brutally raping women? We have been warned by the officials in this prison, more are coming with worse charges. Where is the safety concern for us? If we say we are in fear, we are the ones locked up.”
Well, shockingly, what we expected happened. According to a statement released by the Women’s Liberations Front:
“We have now heard from seven different people inside CCWF that at least one woman, possibly more, is now pregnant after being housed with a male felon who was transferred to the women’s prison under SB132.
“Our connections tell us that at least 3 of the men have now been moved to Administrative Segregation,”
There you go. Whose following the science now? I thought transwomen couldn’t get real women pregnant.
Now, not only do we have to pay for this gal’s pregnancy over the next nine months but we also have to pay the extra money to house these guys in segregation.
Good job, California.

This Is How To DO It
This is a great story and will replace my daily Tik Tok video. It is something that we can learn from.
In Washington state, the owner of a Star Wars memorabilia store, a 70-year-old man named Don Sucher, put up a sign in his window jokingly stating the release of a new Dr. Seuss book called If You Are Born With A Dick, You’re Not A Chick. This guy is a 70-year-old Vietnam veteran.
A city councilman from the town of Albedeen, named Tiesa Meskis, who is a man who wears a dress, walked in and got into a fight with Sucher:
So this guy walks into someone’s shop and just starts chastising him for having this sign up. Now, mind you, I think it is tacky and I wouldn’t think that using that type of language in front of your shop is a good idea but that’s his business. If you don’t like it, shop there.
This is also a 70-year-old man who has served this country in war. He’s probably sick and tired of the political correctness thing. He was definitely ticked off about Dr. Seuss being banned. But that’s his business.
This guy walks into his store and yells at him. This is probably half the problem. He’s tired of being told what he has to believe.
This fight continued outside. Here, Meskis starts acting like an ass. He could have just walked away or, better yet, not walked into the store in the first place. Listen:
This is the kind of behavior does not make one sympathetic. He’s throwing a temper tantrum. He couldn’t reason his way to getting what he wanted or threaten so he throws a fit.
This is just a bad look and does nothing for his case.
The final clip is Sucher being interviewed after this whole thing was done. He sums it up really well:
He’s right. He’s old, spent most of his life believing men were men and women were women. He doesn’t like what is happening in the country he fought for. He just wants to live his life, for better or worse, and be left alone.
But this is an important example of what we all are going to need to do. Ben Shapiro’s book, The Authoritarian Moment, spends 230 pages telling how to fight this: Just say no. Men can’t be women. Redistribution of wealth and socialism are evil. There is nothing good about open borders or defunding the police. Guns don’t kill people, criminals do. Racism is not built into me because I am white but through my actions. And I should have the right to say whatever I want.
We are all going to be faced with these scenarios and our actions will show the path this country is going to take. In the past, we lived by something called the Cordiality Principle. We tried to be too polite instead of pushing back when things didn’t seem to be going too far. We are the majority in this country and we need to begin pushing back against this nonsense.
We just need to do what this old guy did and say no.
