Good Morning Kids. So of course the big story is not that the IDF somehow pulled off a daring rescue operation wherein they freed four Israeli hostages who had been held captive by Hamas savages for nearly 8 months but that in doing so, innocent civilians were killed. Forget for a moment the not immaterial salient facts of how it was they came to be hostages in the first place. Or that they were being held in the home of an Al Jazeera “journalist.” It’s not that “Palestinian” terrorists are hiding behind and amongst the so-called cvilian populace, it’s that the latter and the former are fully integrated into one another ideologically, politically, culturally and via direct familial ties. Their lives are bound up and defined by Islam, that is the subsuming of the entire world under total Islamic domination, in which unbelievers especially Jews are annihilated. Islam does not believe in nation states as we understand them. Insofar as this push to displace Israel with Palestine is concerned, it is only seen as a useful political tool to help them advance the ultimate goal of Islamic world conquest.
As for the remaining hostages, one wonders if indeed they are still alive, and if so after all these months at the hands of these barbaric savages praying for death, if they cannot be rescued. And speaking of barbarism, I don’t even want to ponder the messages being sent by the SPonge-Brain Shits-Pants’ junta to the Israeli government in order to dissuade them from carrying out similar operations as well as the necessary continued military ops to wipe out whatever is left of Hamas in Rafah and elsewhere in Gaza. All because they fear getting wiped out in Michigan and perhaps Minnesota this November, along with pissing off their hardcore Marxist voting base that sees Israel and the peoples of the book (Jews and Christians) as their nemesis here in America, a land and society they have been brainwashed into despising for at least three generations.
Meanwhile, perhaps there are winds of change blowing in the old world, which I have given up all hope on vis a vis the spreading of the Islamic cancer that will likely snuff out western civilization completely within our lifetimes. Considering my diagnosis of brain cancer, maybe I ought not have written that.
France and Belgium have sent shock waves in the latest round of European parliamentary elections by sweeping in conservatives. The combination of unfettered migration as well as the insanity of the climate change hoax mongers have pissed off more and more average people over the past few years. The situation though, will remain in doubt. But we cannot know the future. See the Foreign Affairs section for several links on this topic.

ISRAEL vs IRAN & GAZA/HAMAS . . . AND BIDEN
- Israeli forces freed Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, in raids on two locations in Nuseirat, the IDF said in a Saturday post on X. The four had been kidnapped during the Nova music festival during the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed over 1,200 people.

Israel Rescues Hostages, World Mourns Deaths of Hamas Supporters - Sullivan noted in his statement that the United States government was “supporting all efforts to secure the release” of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, and went on to encourage efforts such as conducting “ongoing negotiations” and pointed to a “hostage release and ceasefire deal” that he said “has the full backing of the United States.”
Biden Junta Calls for Negotiations, Ceasefire After Israel Rescues 4 Hostages - Richard Fernandez: “Hamas has largely conceded the kinetic domain to Israel, in view of the disparity in capabilities, and is focusing on the political front. But propaganda success may have paradoxically worked against them. If Israel is to be accused of killing hundreds of civilians a day anyway, perversely for Hamas, they might as well do it on operations. Hence the rescue. A realistic assessment of Hamas’ chances is that although its political and propaganda defense is hurting Israel, it is not stopping the IDF. The same intel/assault combination employed in hostage rescue must inevitably attrit the remaining Hamas assets. Plan A is leading to slow defeat. To fundamentally alter the strategic situation Hamas needs a Plan B; some new leverage that will decisively stop its grinding demise at the hands of the IDF. One option is that Joe Biden will pull Hamas’ chestnuts out of the fire. But so far either he can’t or won’t try hard enough, although he hasn’t given up as the CENTCOM statement shows.

Prior to that election, the state had been a fairly reliable Republican bastion. However, the increasing size of the federal government, a burgeoning defense contractor industry, and declining populations in the more rural South-Western Virginia region meant the state very quickly shifted partisan political columns and has become a reliable Democrat state in federal elections. Republicans do remain competitive on the state level. VA Moves To ‘Toss-Up’ As Trump Continues To Expand Election Map.
