Donald Trump on my tv screen just now:

"If the hostages (in Gaza) aren't out by the time I take office...all hell will break loose in the Middle East."

#####

Looks like Hamas and other terrorists are about to come face to face with reality.
Holy Fucking Jesus H Skydiving Christ you are a gullible fucking idiot. What exactly do you think that blowhard is going to do? And what of the last year in Gaza do you think isn't already Hell?

I  see the hell that is Gaza on my tv screen regularly. I am not blind.
I also see the hell that was in Israel on Oct 7.
I also see whose fault it is that Gaza is like it is today.
You see what you want to to see and disregard the rest.
Quote

I take Trump's words "the Middle East" to mean further afield than Gaza...say maybe Iran.
Fine. What exactly do you envision him doing?

As do you.
I have no idea what he'll do.
At least he'd be doing something...
No he won't, except talk tough and everyone knows it.

I think it is hilarious that Trump wants to use military force to seize Greenland from the Danes.
Trump never said he wants to use military force he wants to explore buying Greenland because of its strategic location to defend the USA. The same reason Harry Truman wanted to buy that country in 1946.
75 years later Greenland offers more reasons like its vast  mineral sources for modern technology.
Trump may be  trolling about Panama and Canada for other reasons but acquiring Greenland  makes sense.
So would buying the United Arab Emirates, for the same reasons.

And keeping it makes even more sense, which is why Denmark will do so.
Oh, Denmark needs it as a strategic cog in its defense? It needs Greenland for ITS mineral resources?
No less than democrat Senator John Fetterman has a much more honest reaction

 There is a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, and there is a lot of freak-outs and of course, I would never support taking it by force,, (but)  it would be a responsible conversation to discuss acquisition, including just buying it out.
If anyone thinks that is bonkers, it is like, well, remember the Louisiana Purchase?


Fetterman is the new Manchin.

We have enemies who would love to see Hollywood all just burn, and they are getting their wish, and the fires are probably all being set by our enemies who live here among us.

We need to do more in the future to stop and prevent these fires. This is bullshit, and it is unacceptable. We can bring in the Basques to run herds of sheep, cattle, and goats, etc, to reduce fire danger. We can also put in water sprinkler systems to extinguish fires. And more water dropping air craft can be manufactured in Mojave. We must do more to prevent these fires.

Meanwhile, Nero burned Rome just so he could rebuild it, it will be fun and exciting to rebuild, and the best architects from around the world can be brought to California, and people can hire the best landscapers and there can be cobblestones, and fountains, and trees, etc. They can spend the money to rebuild and they can rebuild it to be better than it was.

Then for insurance, the Knights of Columbus sell insurance now, and the money can go to Catholic Hospitals, and to Catholic Schools, and to Catholic Orphanages, etc. The money can go to help the Church, and then the Church can help the poor and the orphans, etc.

Santiago Calatrava can help California to rebuild, and the best architects from around the world can be brought in to help rebuild.

So? Positioned on a strategically vital shipping lane, valuable natural resources we need for security. Just like Greenland.

Southern Sydney Synagogue attacked overnight.
Not fire-bombed thankfully, but vandalised with anti-Semitic spraypainted messages of hate.
Swaztikas, references to Hitler, all over the building.
Council workers are cleaning off the paint.
Time to fence all synagogues in Australia with razor wire, electronic security gates, sensor lights, alarm systems, all paid for by federal and state govts.
Elderly worshippers of the above synagogue were interviewed on site today, they were upset.
Cops should be dressing up as trees, statues, etc and lying in wait for any terrorists. Surveillance from inside vans should also be conducted.
If you're terrorising worshippers at a synagogue then you're a terrorist.

As of November 2023, the estimated number of Arab Americans in Anaheim, California was 7,390.

Explanation

    The Arab American community in Anaheim is centered in Little Arabia, an ethnic enclave in western Anaheim.

Little Arabia grew significantly in the 1990s with the arrival of immigrants from the Middle East.
The majority of Arab Americans in Little Arabia are from Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and Yemen.
California has the largest number of Arab Americans in the United States.
The Los Angeles area has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in California.

------------

They are trying to build an Arab community in Anaheim, and they better not be bringing the refugees from Gaza to Anaheim, the stupid fuckers.

Send the refugee children from Gaza to Canada and change their last name to "Smith" and just let them grow up peacefully in Canada and they can just be Canadians.

I do not want to have these fuckers march and riot everytime there is a problem in the Middle East. They want to burn down Anaheim because of Israel.

Meanwhile, we have homeless people on our streets who need help, and we have homeless veterans, etc. We need to support our Mental Health Associations and Wellness Centers, etc.

Now we have fires, probably set by arsonists, and we are going to have a lot of people who need new homes. We can bring in the best architects and designers from around the world to help to rebuild, but this is all very sad.

Salute,

Tony V.
