The Hardest Thing About War: Accepting the Hard Truths-AFNN

The Hardest Thing About War: Accepting the Hard Truths-AFNN -  John F. Di Leo

"...Wherever Israel knows there’s a terrorist tunnel, they now know there might be a hostage as well.
Israel must therefore fear destroying the very tunnels they know they need to destroy, because of the likelihood of collateral damage – the accidental killing of her own innocent people as part of the firefight.
Those of us who don’t understand war at all will play into the terrorists’ hands, and demand restraint and delay. 

Those of us who have some understanding of war know the opposite – that delay only helps the enemy, and we must toughen up and admit the hard truth:

• That there is no reason to believe these 230 people are still alive.

We know Hamas kept a few alive at least, so that they could release them and tantalize us with the prospect of more releases...

Gina Carano cheers on South Park Panderverse special slamming Disney, Kathleen Kennedy | Blaze Media: 

"South Park" unleashed their most recent special last week, and it immediately drew praise for mocking the recent Hollywood trend of recasting roles that were previously held by white characters and replacing them with minorities and women. The new animated special also took aim at Disney's recent wokeness in developing entertainment content as well as slamming Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy – which was applauded by actress Gina Carano.

This War Will Push Rapidly Escalating Global Food Prices Into Overdrive

This War Will Push Rapidly Escalating Global Food Prices Into Overdrive - MICHAEL SNYDER

"The only way that we can continue to have cheap food is if we have cheap energy. 

We use energy to grow our food, to harvest our food, to produce our food and to package our food. 

And transporting all of that food from the farm to the factory and then to the stores takes lots of energy. Of course it isn’t just our food supply that depends upon cheap energy. 

• Ultimately, our entire way of life is predicated on a cheap energy paradigm. 
• If you take cheap energy away, everything changes.

That is why this war in the Middle East could represent such a critical economic tipping point.

• 31 percent of the world’s oil comes from the Middle East.

If that supply is restricted or completely cut off for an extended period of time, we will be in for a world of hurt.
But don’t just take my word for it. 

At this point, even the World Bank is sounding the alarm…

Russians storm Makhachkala Airport to hunt Jews from Israel | Blaze Media: 

Terrifying video shows the horde flooding into the Makhachkala International Airport in the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan in Russia. The mob is seen waving Palestine flags and are heard shouting: "Allahu Akbar." The Moscow Times reported, "The flight from Tel Aviv landed at 7:17 p.m. local time, according to the airport's website, after which the protesters stormed into the airport, breaking past security and running onto the tarmac." The mob allegedly stormed the tarmac to search for any incoming flights carrying Jews.

Like all commies, they'll do EVERYTHING to maintain their power.

The 10 Mass Shootings Since Lewiston You Didn't Hear About

Most news articles about the animal in Lewiston, Maine, who shot 31 people, killing 18, focus specifically on the shooter’s skin color and “AR-15 style” rifle. The media seem to have missed the ten mass shootings that have taken place in the three and a half days since the Maine massacre...

FACT-O-RAMA! A mass shooting is defined as four or more people shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation.

'Murderer Israel': Erdogan Leads 1.5 Million People in Pro-Hamas Airport Takeover

'Murderer Israel': Erdogan Leads 1.5 Million People in Pro-Hamas Airport Takeover: 

Islamist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan flooded Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport this weekend with hundreds of thousands of people – he claimed 1.5 million attendees – chanting “murderer Israel” and other pro-Hamas slogans in support of the terrorist group’s October 7 massacre.

Erdogan branded the rally the “Great Palestine Meeting” and delivered an extensive address in which he once again insisted “Hamas is not a terrorist organization,” claimed that Israel secretly created Kurdish miliitias in Iraq and Syria, and blamed “the West” generally for the conflict between Israel and Palestinian terror groups.

UNLV law school apologizes for using word ‘picnic,’ changes it to ‘Lunch by the Lake’ DAVE HUBER - ASSOCIATE EDITOR

UNLV law school apologizes for using word ‘picnic,’ changes it to ‘Lunch by the Lake’- DAVE HUBER  

"A scheduled “picnic” sponsored by the University of Nevada Las Vegas law school’s Environmental Law Society has been renamed “Lunch by the Lake” due to “diversity and inclusion” concerns.
According to a memo obtained by Libs of TikTok, the law group informed members that the word “picnic” has “historical and offensive connotations,” and apologized for “any harm or discomfort” caused by its use.
The group’s view mirrors that of the University of Michigan’s IT department from several years ago: “Picnic” was included in a “Words Matter Task Force’s” list of offensive words and phrases along with “brown bag,” “blacklist” and “long time, no see” among others...

Biden Frees Thousands of Foreigners into U.S. from Terrorism-Linked Countries

Biden Frees Thousands of Foreigners into U.S. from Terrorism-Linked Countries: 

Special interest aliens, according to DHS, are typically “a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests.”

“Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism,” DHS officials wrote of special interest aliens in 2019.

This month, an exclusive Breitbart News report revealed that more than 61,000 special interest aliens have been released into the U.S. interior in Fiscal Year 2023.

Subsequently, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been asked to disclose all relevant information about those special interest aliens who have arrived at the border and been released into American communities.
