No, the children are in danger because Hamas started a war that they cannot win. Much like German and Japanese children were in danger because THEIR respective governments did the same. Again, the responsibility is on the aggressor. Israel is not an occupying power. The conflict is not over. At that time, if Israel does not allow relief aid, THEN they are wrong. Until then, the war needs to be fought.

Such a large population of children somewhat puts to rest the idea that this is a "genocide" or "open air concentration camp", doesn't it? People in prisons being genocided certainly don't have the time or energy to make so many babies. And the fault for putting the children in danger lies entirely with Hamas. THEY are the ones to use schools to hide weapons and rockets.

Yes, it is. Good thing genocide isn't happening, eh? If Gazans didn't support Hamas, then this whole tragedy could have been avoided. But the cheering crowds in the streets when the oh so brave warriors came back from their slaughter on October 7, the spitting on the corpses of the slain, hiding hostages in their homes, letting their schools and hospitals be used for terrorism activities, all lead me to believe that there are very few innocent civilians in Gaza.

Why allow aid into Gaza? Most Gazans support and succor Hamas. Have been for years. Allowed Hamas to use international aid to build terror tunnels, used smugglers to bring in weapons, even let Hamas use their homes to imprison innocent hostages. I can see no reason for them to receive any aid at all.

Of course. Only natural in a war that the civilians on the side of the party that started the war get aid. Just like the Allies provided aid to German civilians in WW2 when the goal was to wipe out the Nazis. Or aid to Japan to the civilians trapped in Japan by their warmongering government. Oh wait...

Actually I was thinking of DeSantis, Haley, and Ramaswamy. Biden was a nobody as a Senator. A rusty weather vane who took no chances and was very careful to never make any hard decisions. As a younger man, he was glib and friendly, which took him a long way in the 80s and 90s as he served longer and longer. He did nothing in the private sector but instead bellied up to the government trough as fast as he could after stumbling out of Law School. Getting picked as VP was supposed to be his "gold watch", after which he was ticketed to fade away into obscurity. Tragically, it didn't work out that way.

Unfortunately, most of the hate seems directed at other black people. Crime as a whole does not cross racial boundaries very much. The majority of black crime victims are victimized by black criminals. Same with white folks.

Truly an abysmal field? Successful governor, UN ambassador, successful businessman.... Tell me how that compares to the field of candidates for the Democrats.

So, they wanted to have an insurrection and what...install Trump as dictator? What was the ultimate goal here? And this would not provoke an immediate response IF they were not heavily armed? Nah, makes no sense. Nobody has yet described what the end game was, if this were an insurrection designed to overthrow the government of the US. Perhaps the military ignored it BECAUSE it was a simple riot. With the usual few idiots providing the heat and destruction, and the majority going along with it.

Which is why it is even MORE puzzling that they 'forgot' to bring their guns.

Yes, those "who entered the Capitol" fought the police. And they deserve the full punishment of the law. As for the guns, the only gun used on January 6 was a police lieutenant shooting an unarmed protestor. How do you define "stocks of guns" and "nearby"? I read that there were some guns in a hotel across the river, but they were hardly available.

This could be replayed endlessly.... Trump also said for them to protest peacefully. And most did. A few idiots in the crowd went too far. Amazing though that most of them forgot to bring their guns with them. Especially if they were planning the violent overthrow of the Republic, don't you think? I can't think of any other revolutions or insurrections that did not involve firearms.

I was responding to another poster who said "Trump killed 5 people", which is a libelous untruth. Never said anything about the injured police. Any of the rioters who attacked and injured cops should be punished, goes without saying. Same should hold true at any riot.

Well, if the Lebanese Army won't kill or drive out the Hezbollah terrorists, that leaves it up to the IDF.

If you want silly, look at the requirements to get a simple tourist visa from a consulate in Japan! Bank statements, certificate of employment, family register document, Thai ID card of a person you rent a condo from, personal history form, itinerary in Thailand including where you will visit, why, etc. God knows what they will want for a non-imm. O visa....

Now Hezbollah can also learn the valuable lesson of FAFO, that Hamas has been studying for the past months. Fire rockets into Israel, they will fire back.

Yeah, in a way. I for some reason have never listened to Rogan, don't like his voice. But I do like long form interview podcasts as a rule. It is a refreshing change from the 7 minute segments that are on the broadcast tv networks. Bill Maher's can be pretty good if he has the right guest.

I love reading people spouting off "who is Joe Rogan?" "never heard of him..." If you look at the numbers, he gets 10 million plus listeners every day. That is more than any of the nightly news broadcasts of the big 3 major networks. He has 16 million Youtube subscribers and 3 billion total views. THAT is who Joe Rogan is. You may not like him, but ignore him at your peril.

Really? I thought one unarmed protestor wasshot and killed by a police officer on Jan 6. Other than that, a couple fat dudes had strokes/heart attacks, probably well deserved. One police officer had a stroke and died (found to be unrelated) another took his own life. These are 'killed by Trump'?!?

Really? I liked the part of his speech where he said; We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors. We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature. Oh sorry, wrong speech. That was his Inaugural Address in 2021. I meant to post: This is the first national election since January sixth insurrection placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy… Yep, all about the economy...

It is an obvious shift of strategy. "Bidenomics" was a big zero. They can't talk of any foreign policy victories. The border crisis is reaching epic proportions, along with record death from drugs. So, they are left with "b-b-but TRUMP!" as a last ditch message. Easy to do, requires no evidence, and eagerly parroted by their friends in the media.

Is there any particular reason the Civil War is being relitigated 160 years later? I cannot possibly see any reason for anyone to be asking about this. There are enough relevant and current issues to worry about.

Breathe. It's good for the health. Not sure what enemies Joe brought to their knees. The rest is fluff. And the American people ain't buying it.

Just watch him walk. … the President’s gait appears to be perceptibly stiffer and less fluid than it has been in the past… the differential diagnosis for a gait disturbance can include a variety of neurologic pathologies which would be important to assess for” https://rockymountainbrainandspineinstitute.com/gait-analysis/

I disagree. The Democrat PR machine is talented. They spun abortion rights into almost a victory in 2022. But the American people just aren't buying what they are selling. Now that may not last, as interest rates start to fall over the course of the year, but for now it is an albatross around the President's neck.
