Have you noticed that every time the DemCommunists gird their loins for battle with their political opponent, they get out in front of every camera they can find (not that it is difficult to find a camera with a sycophant, state controlled media following them around) to declare they need to win “for the good of Democracy”? Or they might insist their position is necessary to “save Democracy”. Those viewpoints have increased in frequency since President Trump started his campaign to win back the White House.

Herein lies the problem. They want to save the Democracy, while We the People want to save the Republic! There is a huge difference. In a democracy, the people make decisions directly, by vote. In a republic, the people elect representatives to act on their behalves. The representatives are bound by a Constitution, limiting the powers of the government. Democracies don’t necessarily have a governing constitution.

The United States was formed by the Founding Fathers as a Representative Republic. After the decision was made a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, one of the delegates making that decision, what form of government we were to have. Franklin responded, “A Republic, madam, if you can keep it”. The Founders set about to create a Constitution to tell the government what they could do and, more importantly, what it can’t do. Upon completion of the document, the people wanted more assurances, so the Bill of Rights was written, enumerating the people’s rights. In a republic under a constitution and, in our case, bolstered by a Bill of Rights, there is a focus on individual rights and limiting government rights.

In reality, the DemCommunists don’t actually want to save the democracy. They don’t want to be bound by the US Constitution. They really don’t care about the people. They just want the power! They want the control. Covid just tested what they had to do to monopolize the power and how far they could go to restrict the people’s rights in the process! With Covid, they proved they could tell you where you could go and where you couldn’t. You could go to Wally World or the alcohol store, but it was unsafe to go to church! You couldn’t visit your sick relatives in the hospital, but you could ballot harvest in that same hospital! Far too many gave up freedom for a bit of perceived safety. Not enough saw through the hype!

Thomas Jefferson said, “The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.” The DemCommunist Party, as it exists today, is in open warfare with those rights. Currently, there are too few people in Washington willing to stand up to them. We need to send people willing to fight for our rights as our representatives. And, We the People need Trump!

Today marks seven months since the Terrorist group Hamas invaded Israel, killing around 1200 innocent people and kidnapping another 200 or so. The invaders have continued to kill non-combatants as they fire rockets, from 20 to 50 at a time into Israeli towns and cities. The State-run Sewer Stream Media, the DemCommunist cheerleaders, have repeatedly told Americans the whole turmoil in Gaza is the fault of Israeli transgressions. Slowly, the public is getting the idea that they are not getting the truth from the media, that they are indeed being lied to as they have been for many years!

During a ceasefire and prisoner exchange, lasting less than a week, humanitarian aid came into Gaza from Egypt and was immediately stolen by Hamas. Very little aid got to the Palestinians. Aid was parachuted by the American Air Force and, again, most of that got into the hands of Hamas. The prisoner exchange was a complete debacle. Evidently, the hostages, men, women and children (the youngest was 10 months old) were dispersed throughout Gaza into the hands of other terrorist groups and lost control of their whereabouts. Hamas released around 40 hostages and Israel released 10 to 15 prisoners for each hostage. These are terrorists who had raped and/or killed Israeli citizens. Incidentally, of the 20 Americans held hostage by Hamas, none were released in spite of the fact that the US had been calling for the ceasefire for several months. The last couple of dates for exchanges came and went unfulfilled as Hamas couldn’t find any of the hostage to exchange. There was nothing left for Hamas to do but to fire rockets into Israel, not that the rocket fire had completely stopped during the ceasefire.

Since then, the thought of the American hostages has been completely dropped by the Biden Abomination and the Pro-Hamas media. Where are the American hostages? When was the last time you heard mention of them? The Biden Abomination has voiced support for Israel while pressing them for another ceasefire. They have even called for the overthrow of Prime Minister Netanyahu! With support like this, who needs enemies? Other countries have followed suit. The International Criminal Court wants to serve warrants for the arrest of Israeli leadership!

Over the last three weeks, university campuses have become activist enclaves. The Hamas supporting activists, mostly useful idiots without a clue as to why they are protesting led by Palestinian activists and, probably, Hamas transplants. Less than half of those in the compounds on college quads around the country are students at the university. Once arrests started, even professors were discovered in the mix, surprised that they were being arrested. On several campuses, the very vocal Pro-Terrorist protesters clashed students protesting for Israel!.

The tide seems to have turned a bit last week. On the campus at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Pro-Hamas tried to take down the American flag. Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi rescued the Stars and Stripes and held it off the ground until police came. They were pelted by bottles, trash and insults, but held their position! Similar events on other campuses have begun to happen.

Graduation is around the corner for seniors all over the country. Some universities have cancelled their ceremonies, stating they can’t protect those at the ceremonies. Tuition for these colleges is $60,000 to $90,000 per year. It’s a shame that after spending all that money, a graduate can’t go to a ceremony! Perhaps they should use some of that money to better protect all students! And don’t forget the federal funds that We the Taxpayer provide for “higher education”! The Boards of all those colleges should stop coddling those intent on disturbing the running of colleges and suspend and ban them from the property.

As for the Biden Abomination, The DemCommunist Convention is also coming up. I remember in 1968, the Ku Klux Klan marched through the streets of Chicago in SUPPORT of the DNC! How will Americans react to the marching of Pro-Hamas sympathizers this year in Chicago?

Ronald Reagan once said, “A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation”. Many other people have said similar things. All of them are correct! The United States once had a good border. It could have been better, but it was sufficient until Congress makes actual laws making it better. That good border went out the window on Day One of the Biden Abomination, when Biden walked in with a large stack of pre-printed Executive Orders countering EO’s signed by President Trump. Over three days, he made a big show of countermanding 94 orders regarding our borders. It was always their intent to do away with the border. They have done nothing to improve it; they have, however, denied there was a problem. Alejandro Mayorkas is the master architect of that destruction.

Last year, when the new Congress came into office, their second order of business was to pass a border security bill that would close the border, provide for a wall, add new Customs and Border Patrol agents and fund it. It passed the House, but has sat on Chucky Schumer’s desk for well over a year. The Senate has taken up the task of “Border security” several times, but their idea of border security is to codify the current conditions at the border. This would make it the norm that CBP personnel spend all their time away from their usual duties to process the illegal invaders and allow them to roam freely about the country at the expense of the taxpayers! This norm gives the border to the Cartels.

Mayorkas has publicly lied to the American people and Congress. He perjured himself in testimony to Congress. He was impeached by the House and was absolved of any wrongdoing by the Senate without one word of testimony! Senate DemCommunists condone the behavior where the border is concerned.

Currently, estimates of the number of illegals having entered the country range from 7 million to 11 million that we know of. Then, there’s those who entered without encountering anyone at the border, which would probably add several million more. Now, in an effort to facilitate the process, the Biden Abomination is just flying to countries that don’t like us and bringing them back over the borders and letting them out all over the nation. I’ll bet that not even 1% of those illegals will report to there court case in 3-5 years time, assuming that they are even given a court case anymore!

With the unrest between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, protests are springing up all around the United States. A couple of months ago, the FBI gave the warning of imminent terrorist activity here. I imagine it would be real easy right now for a bad actor who entered illegally to instigate riots much like those instigated by Antifa and Black Lives Matters several years ago. Or, more likely, they’ll just blow things up, say, for instance, buildings or maybe bridges.

Mayorkas and the Biden Abomination has had blood on their hands for three years now. Any further American deaths at the hands of people who invaded our country at the border and that blood will spread to the hands of the DemCommunists as well. And, as if that weren’t bad enough, this last weekend, The House DemCommunists with there Republican vassals passed a $95B spending bill, including over $60B to Ukraine. Obviously, they value their border much more than our own, as not so much as a penny was designated for ours! Just one more thing to remember this November!

During the last week and a half, the most common word used among the State-run Sewer Stream Media has been the word ‘bloodbath’. It all began with the change in leadership of the GOP. After Michael Whatley took over the reins of the GOP, with Lara Trump as his co-chair, they jointly started laying off those employees who were more aligned with the Establishment branch of the Party, up to about 60 members. Every talking head throughout the State-run media called it a bloodbath. No matter what channel to which you tuned in, it was the same expression, “the GOP Bloodbath”!

According to Dictionary.com, the definition of ‘bloodbath’ is as follows

1. a ruthless slaughter of a great number of people; massacre.
2. Informal. a period of disastrous loss or reversal: A few mutual funds performed well in the general bloodbath of the stock market.
3. a widespread dismissal or purge, as of employees.

Obviously, the State-run media (who all agree to use agreed upon language so they don’t have to actually think for themselves) used the definition #3 in describing what occurred at the GOP Last Saturday, President Trump did likewise, after a five minute commentary about China building auto factories in Mexico, stealing jobs from American auto workers, both Union and non-union. American auto workers are already losing jobs in the switch from combustion engine vehicles to EV ‘s. Trump has always been a staunch supporter of ‘Made In America”; the Biden Abomination is in no regard Pro-American. Trump told those at an Ohio rally that if he was elected, he would end this plan, not allowing vehicles build outside the country in without a huge tariff. Then, he said that if he didn’t win, it would be a bloodbath.

The State-run media ran with that one sentence, disregarding the prior five minutes entirely. They simply implied that there would be a violent revenge or revolt. Trump has never said anything of the sort! The propagandists just switched from definition #2 or #3 for their own agenda, the denigration of President Trump.

There, of course, is a better use of definition #1, but the State-run propagandists will never employ this usage. With the Biden Open Border Policy in full swing, allowing around 10 Million invaders into the United States since he took office. Those people, here illegally, have caused a spike in violent crime, including rape and murder. They have a sense of impunity; they are certainly being given preferential treatment. I recently saw a list of 24 names of American citizens who were murdered by illegals. That seems to me to be an appropriate use of bloodbath, in the violent definition. I’m sure there are many more.

Then, there’s another usage. With the number of known terrorists caught at the border, there has to be many more here planning harm to America and her citizens. An attack on our power grid or water supply or a myriad of other options could result in mass casualty incidence. That would be a bloodbath! But then again, the Sewer Steam Media will never use these usages for bloodbath; it just doesn’t fit their agenda!

It’s been four and a half days since the State of the Union speech. During the speech, the Biden Regime prioritized Ukraine over the United States, Illegals over Citizens and Lies over Truth. I jokingly asked before the speech how far into the speech would Biden manage to enrage half of America. Turns out that the answer was five to ten minutes in. By that time, the Regime gave precedence to every other nation’s people over our own with plans to slip Americans the bill!

The big foible of the speech was Biden’s use of the word “illegal” as opposed to “undocumented” in reference to the criminal who abducted and brutally .murdered Laken Riley. Biden finally did mention the nursing student’s name, kind of, calling her Lincoln in stead of Laken before downplaying the occurrence of illegals killing innocent people. He asked how many illegals have killed someone, as if there were an acceptable level of collateral damage. Well, Joe, the answer to that would be anything above ZERO is unacceptable!

Since the Address, the Resident had a dueling campaign rally with Donald Trump in Georgia. Biden had a couple of hundred people attend his rally where they learned that the economy under his Administration was doing very well and Republicans needed to get him the money necessary to deal with the border issue. Obviously, the Biden Campaign is relying on the DemCommunist Party members blind faith in its propaganda arm, the Sewer Stream Media. By the way, the 200 or so attendees to the Regime’s rally was dwarfed by the tens of thousands in attendance to the Trump rally. I believe that Biden high-tailed it to Delaware after the rally. I’m not sure if he’s found his way out of his basement yet.

With the start of a new week, more news has come out, starting with Biden’s 2025 budget. It’s $7.3 Trillion ($7,300,000,000,000) of spending, but, fear not; 75% of that amount will be paid for by new taxes ($5,500,000,000,000). Of course, there’s still $1.8 Trillion unpaid for. I guess that will just get tacked on to the National Debt. No big deal, there! By the way, ultimately, you’ll get stuck with that bill for payment. Currently, with a National Debt of $34.5T, each taxpayer’s share of that is $266,500. That figure goes up on a daily basis. I’m sure the budget will go nowhere, but we’ll end up getting to fund Continuing Resolutions, which will have a bunch of garbage that would never pass if it were in it’s own bill!

On the up side, in a new IPSOS/ABC News poll in Georgia on which Presidential candidate would do a better job, the answer is Trump. On Immigration, Trump wins 45% to 29% over Biden. On Inflation, it’s Trump 45% to 31%. On the Economy it’s 49% to 37% for Trump and on Crime it’s 41% to 35% Trump over Biden! Let’s face it, on which issue could Biden beat Trump that would be positive for Americans.

I live in North Carolina and I worked the polls before and during Super Tuesday. I saw the attitudes of the voters. The Republicans were optimistic and the Dems were dejected. I believe that on the Dem ballot No Preference got more than 10%. Hearing the people coming to vote are aware of the economy, don’t like open borders and know that inflation isn’t going down. Basically, We the People are mad!

Apparently, New York City’s reputation as a “soft on crime” haven is going around the country, if not further. Much further, I’m sure! Once known as the financial center of the United States of America as well as the rest of the world, it is now known to be the place for criminals to commit their crimes without repercussions. From judges who buy their appointments by donating to those further up the political chain to district attorneys bought and paid for by George Soros to a woke agenda working against law enforcement in favor of criminals, NYC is the place to be if you want to “get away with murder”.

We’ve watched the cases against President Trump in New York. We’ve seen the judicial misconduct of the judge in the supposed fraud case, where the “victims” testified that all loans had been paid back in full and on time and that they would be happy to do business with him again! Then there was Trump’s harassment case in which he “defamed” a woman who accused him of rape, though she had no idea of when it happened and had no evidence save her say-so. Combined judgements of both of the sham trials amount to over a half billion dollars. Now the city wants the money held in escrow pending appeal or they will seize property assets. After a court ruling today, he has until March 18 to post the money in an account.

We’ve seen two members of the NYPD assaulted by five (some say seven) illegals. Some of them were arrested then released with no bond. No worries though New Yorkers for now there’s the NYPD Dance Squad to make your city safer. A couple of days later, several of those same desperadoes were arrested in Arizona. The Mayor of New York City wanted them back, as did the Governor of New York, but I don’t think they were being sent back. I mean, why would they send them back? Prosecutors in NY would probably just release them again.

This week in Phoenix, Arizona, Raad Almonsoori was arrested after an attempted carjacking. He was tied to two other crimes, stabbings, in two other incidents. In talking with the suspect, Almonsoori admitted to a homicide he committed in NYC. NYPD is seeking an arrest warrant and extradition for the suspect back to New York. The Maricopa County Prosecutor is saying he’ll be staying in Arizona. She said, “I’ve instructed my extradition attorneys not to agree to that, we’re going to keep him here, these are mandatory prison sentences,” She goes on, “Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg, I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody so that he can’t be out doing this to individuals” I’ll bet the suspect was a little perturbed that Phoenix doesn’t handle crime the way New York does!

I applaud Rachel Mitchell, the Maricopa County Attorney, for her actions, her comments and calling out Alvin Bragg (who says she’s just playing political games). Personally, I think that The $53M Eric Adams is handing out to illegals would be better spent sending his Manhattan prosecutors to Phoenix for a seminar on how to actually deal with crime. Maybe Maricopa County could use some of that fee to investigate voter fraud! Otherwise, with what is going on in NYC, the Big Apple will only have a huge criminal element, a total loss of the tourist trade and major businesses (tired of the crimes from the aforementioned element and the prosecutorial misconduct in the city) will be moving to other areas out of state! Businesses aren’t going to wait around for the state to just confiscate their assets at the slightest provocation, like happened in Havana 70 years ago. After all: Communists will be Communists!

  Yesterday afternoon, the Special Counsel of the Department of Justice investigating Joe Biden’s classified document case released a report on the subject. The report immediately caused fireworks from all quarters. Robert Hur, the Special Counsel, told Americans that Biden would not be facing charges. That announcement, of course, came as no great shock. He was, after all, a hand-picked member of the Dept. of (In)Justice. The shocking point was why he’d not file charges. He said that he probably wouldn’t be able to get a conviction due to Biden’s decline in mental capabilities. He calls Biden a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.

  Most of us have long suspected that the Resident of the White House had mental acuity issues. He can barely read a teleprompter, he mumbles and slurs words and, when he whispers, it’s just plain creepy! There’s no telling what he’ll say when he goes off script. That’s when he gets himself into trouble. Americans doubt he’s in control of anything. Foreign leaders also think the same.

  Here’s the problem. Biden is running for re-election for President of the United States. There should be some expectation of his ability to handle that job, both mentally and physically. Personally, I doubt he has that ability, hasn’t for quite a while. Even as he was campaigning in 2020, he spent more time in his basement than on the stump trying to get votes. His calendar of campaign stops would be published, then they would call a lid, canceling the day’s stops.

  If he is so mentally diminished that a prosecutor feels sorry enough to not charge him because he couldn’t get a jury to convict, does he have the wherewithal to be able to perform his duties as President? If he proves himself capable of being President (an extreme longshot in my opinion), does that mean the charges come back?

  One thing to keep in mind: the report was not an exoneration, but a decision not to charge. Also, that report had to go through the US Attorney General. He had to have known how a lot of things revealed would be taken. Or, possibly, they never thought that the state-owner Sewer Stream Media would actually question it. Perhaps, especially after Biden’s press conference last night, this is just DemCommunists throwing Biden under the bus in an effort to get to a replacement. Either way, that press conference was not a win for Biden. It did highlight his decline! What a conundrum!

 2 February, 2024 by Eric Dunkelberger

  This past week has been news filled, to say the least. Most of that news, in my opinion, does nothing positive for this nation. What has happened should serve to illustrate just how inept this Biden Abomination is. They are truly out of their depth!

  Less than a week ago, Iran-backed militias launched an attack on Americans, resulting in the deaths of three US Army soldiers and injury to around thirty others. Prior to that attack, there had been approximately 160 attacks launched toward American facilities since Hamas (also funded by Iran) attacked Israel on 7 October, 2023. The Biden policy of telling our adversaries “Don’t” failed miserably.

  The prior attacks were responded to very half-heartedly. We’d let loose a million dollar missile into a few empty buildings at 3:00 am, or kill a couple of sheep in the care of some poor shepherd. Not once have I heard of any battle damage assessment detailing any real damage, or any made-up destruction. After this attack just over a week ago, all was silent for the first couple of days. After a reporter asked Biden about any response, his answer was, “We shall respond”.

  To date, I’ve heard of no response. Sources are saying we will be hitting Iran-backed militia in Iraq and Syria and the attack would be “multi-tiered” and last weeks. Meanwhile, government talking heads are making excuses for Iran. They imply Iran doesn’t have control of the militias. Well, quit giving them money, support and drones! In actuality, they do have control of all the bad actors in the region. The Biden Abomination helped Iran when they gave them $6B in late September. Still we wait for a response to an enemy killing three and wounding many more!

  Meanwhile, at the Southern Border, the stand-off between Texas and the Feds continues. Texas National Guard units are being joined by troops from Oklahoma, South Dakota and Florida. There may be others. Texas has the support of Governors from 25 states and the legislature of Kentucky, since the Governor won’t support Texas. There is still an invasion problem and it’s affecting other states. The Governor of Massachusetts is bemoaning having to close a youth center she is proud of to accommodate illegals. She says they will have to keep it closed a couple of months, then they have to move the illegals somewhere else, clean up the facility to, hopefully, reopen to their youths by June. She doesn’t comment on where the illegals are going.

  In New York City, a few days ago, two NYPD officers are beat up by five illegals. The illegals were arrested, taken to jail and released without bond. The state’s Communist Governor starts talking about how the illegals should be deported, but, too late. They reportedly boarded a bus to California. During all of this, the US Senate is deliberating on a bill that will allow 5000 invaders across the border per day, provide them funds and immigration lawyers, at our expense. The ultimate goal is amnesty! We have no idea who everybody is, where they are from, where they are now. Any Senator that supports this horrid bill needs to lose their job. If it passes the Senate, anybody, especially the RepSocialists, needs to be replaced.

  That’s just a snapshot of the state of the Nation. Next month, we’ll hear all the lies from Biden in his State of the Union speech. It will all boil down to being the Republicans’ fault, except for the 15-20 RepSocialists that vote with the DemCommunists. A whole bunch of elected officials need to be sent home!

 26 January, 2024 by Eric Dunkelberger

  I’m not sure exactly when corruption took hold of our Nation’s Capitol. Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Tench Coxe, once wrote, “When once a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.”. This was in 1799, so, if it hadn’t started by that time, then there was at least a threat of it then. I do know that corruption has thoroughly entrenched itself in the Capitol.

  In the last three years, it has become obvious that our government has obtained a lawless status. The Biden Abomination has advocated various schemes to give money to buy votes for the next election, be it the college loan bailouts or some other plot to defraud the American taxpayer. Time and time again, the courts have ruled that their implementation of several of the schemes were either unlawful or unconstitutional. The government just carried on with what they were doing or they varied the plan a hair to make the ruling moot. Or, they just ignore the ruling!

  The United States Constitution, the law of the land, delineates only a few roles specifically to the government. Article IV, Section 4 says the government is responsible for protecting the states from invasion. For the last three years, the Southern Border has been open! The State-owned Media, the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Majorkas can say otherwise all they like, but when someone crosses our border illegally, they are given money (taxpayer money) and a ticket to a city somewhere. the border is wide open! And before anyone says well, that’s Texas sending them wherever, no, the federal government has been doing that well before Texas started it. The Feds were just doing it in the middle of the night before it was brought it the attention of anybody.

  Texas has had enough! If the Biden Abomination won’t (won’t, because they could if they so chose), then the Republic of Texas has to stop the invasion! They are using the Texas National Guard to secure the border, while keeping the federal agents away for the area. Biden took it to the Supreme Court and they ruled that the feds can cut the razor wire. Texas’ response was to add more razor wire! Arizona is still wide open, because they don’t have a Governor willing to stop the flow of invaders.

  The DemCommunists don’t care a bit about American citizens. They care much more for the invaders. They want the fentanyl coming across! They want the human trafficking! They want the terrorists, determined to do evil against our people and property, coming across! If they didn’t want that, they could stop it. They won’t; they don’t want to!

  The Party of “Unity”, the DemCommunists, have done everything they can to divide us! They’ve done nothing to unite us. The Republic of Texas, for now, has stopped the flow. The Governors of 25 other states are supporting them. The feds have threatened to take the border to reopen it. We’ll have to see what happens! I stand with Texas!

 12 January, 2024 by Eric Dunkelberger

  If you listen, view or read anything from the government-supported Sewer Stream Media, you’ve been told repeatedly how safe everyone is in the United States. The DHS Secretary Mayorkas says that our border is secure. The White House “Press” Secretary says there’s no problem at the border. Joe Biden tells people that the Republicans should give him the money he needs to secure the border. Apparently, someone’s not on the same page. If you still believe that the border is secure then relax, go feed your unicorn (assuming you can still afford unicorn food). Everyone else knows you’re being lied to!

  In reality, the border is wide open! The Republic of Texas is doing everything in its ability to secure it but, so far, the federal court system is working against them. When they strung razor wire and floated barriers, the courts ruled that they had to remove the barrier and the government obstructionists could cut the wire. Today, Texas took control of the border at Eagle Pass, not allowing Border Patrol agents access to that section of the border. I’m sure that will receive a lawsuit shortly. Obviously, this government cartel has absolutely no interest in protecting this country, OUR country!

  Of course, the border isn’t our only issue. Yes, over the last three years, we’ve been invaded by anywhere between 5 million people to 8 million people. That’s just those that we know about. The “got-aways” could be an equal amount. It’s impossible to say accurately. Included in that number is almost 200 known terrorists who entered. How many terrorists came in through the open borders we know nothing about. We won’t know until they attack. And they will!

  Add to this the vast amount of fentanyl coming across into the United States. This is the drug the cartel smuggles into America. This is the drug responsible for killing so many people. This is the drug, along with the human trafficking, that provides so much money for the cartel. The cartel is profiting off our demise!

  Our National Security also takes into account our placement among other nations; what do other countries think of the United States. Three years ago, Joe Biden inherited a nation of strength. The nations acting belligerent now, wouldn’t have thought to act that way then. Now, obviously, they have no fear of our country. Iran, Russia, China and North Korea, along with their various proxies see no threat of deterrence from us. Currently, there are two wars going on, Russia- Ukraine and Israel-Hamas/Hezbollah/Houthi. Our stated support for Ukraine is until Russia pulls back into Russia. Our stated support for Israel stops well short of that. Our diplomats threaten Israel with an interruption of a supply of weapons without ceasefires. Israel views a ceasefire as a means for Hamas to rearm. Remember that Hamas’ charter gives their goal as the complete destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews! A ceasefire means nothing to Hamas. They were under the conditions of a ceasefire up until their attack on Israel on 7 October, 2023.

  Last night, the US and UK launched an attack on Houthi positions. I haven’t heard details on the damage the attack caused. I’m glad it finally happened. The Houthis have been launching rockets and drones at traffic in the Red Sea for several weeks and their attacks have been getting more numerous and vicious. The US/UK attack needed to tell them that behavior would no longer be tolerated. Up to that time, the US strikes in retaliation of attacks in Syria and Iraq didn’t get that message across. I doubt the message will get to Iran, who backs Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
