Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Vows to Free Iran: “When Iran is Finally Free, and That Moment Will Come a Lot Sooner Than People Think, Everything Will Be Different”

□ [“Iran Launches Over 100 Missiles at Israel—Missiles Getting Through Israel’s Iron Dome"]

So far, haven't found specifics.  There was simultaneously a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv with 3 deaths, but no idea if there was any connection, or even if it was really a terrorist attack and not some yuppie deciding today was a good day to die.  Iran has already stated this was for the martyrs who led Hezbollah.

Comments from people who have military experience suggest that 100 missiles sounds like a lot but isn't as many as you'd expect, although it's not fun for those on the receiving end.  I don't know so I could go either way.  But either Israel will be expected to respond and we'll see how that works out.  Otherwise Iran will be ready for an even bigger attack, unless this was already the best they could do.

At a guess, of course I'd say Israel has the winning hand.  But now we have to ask how the rest of the world will get involved.  Ukraine supporters want to do to Russia what Iran is doing to Israel, up to providing the missiles.  I'm still willing to say let them solve their own problems, although Israel is actually an ally, but how involved do you still want to be in a war with Russia's ally?

□ [“Trump Blasts Biden and Harris on Iranian Terror Threat:  'The World Is on Fire and Spiraling Out of Control.  We Have No Leadership!'"]

The economy is garbage, the borders don't exist, crime is on the rampage, the docks are closed for a strike.  American citizens have been abandoned by the federal government after a hurricane and another war has gotten started.  Kamala Harris is out campaigning in California, promising to fix all the problems Biden has caused.

Do you realize that Trump could just declare himself the POTUS right now and a lot of people would go for that?  This is what four years of Democratic tyranny has imposed.  Even if you insist on pretending the 2020 election was fair, there's no way a sane person would want more of this.  A leader should be available now and America and the world clearly doesn't have one.

Biden's not out there making sure everyone knows he's in charge.  Neither is Harris or any of the cabinet members.  I don't know if anyone in the media is out-right asking where the hell everybody is, but they must be wondering, at least those who aren't in charge.

□ [“45,000 Dock Workers From Maine to Texas Go on Strike"]

Under normal circumstance, I'd assume the companies would cave, although they might wait long enough to see how high they need to raise their prices to cover it.  It's the rest of us who have to pay so they don't care.  But this might be different in several ways.

For one thing, they might just replace everybody with illegal immigrants.  If that happens, it was probably the point, especially since many of those invaders will have contacts with countries sending goods to these docks.  This might be where they start using the explosives or bioweapons or whatever they've been waiting for.

Or it could be about crushing the workers and their union, similar to last year's Hollywood strike.  Nobody needed it or wanted it, but they went through with it, got every they wanted and now Hollywood doesn't need them.  A.I. might not be able to handle these activities now, but it'll get there soon.  And the public can suffer in the meantime.

Whatever the point is, as always, I assume our masters are behind it.  The union president is very rich and has promised to ruin the economy.  “I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does.”  Anybody who'd talk like that is on the wrong side.  He's 78 years old and has been in charge since 2011, that just doesn't sound good.

□ [“New Accusations Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs From Over 100 People, Minors as Young as 9"]

It sounds like they're basically looking to get into Hollywood, so they would need a way to get through auditions for movies or music.  However far they got, they're probably still in areas where Diddy would still be relevant, so they'd have heard about this, or at least easy to contact by others.

I remember seeing things like this happen before, I'm particularly thinking of Dan Schneider.  I only know him from the movie Better Off Dead but he was quite influential on Nickelodeon after I stopped watching that channel and made a point of going after children too.  That was around the 'Harvey Weinstein' and I've never been convinced they were really going after the guys.  If they weren't actually being protected, they were just the targets so everyone else could keep doing the same thing.

So now it may be Diddy's turn.  Will it actually go anywhere or just be another distraction?

□ [“The Collection of Incriminating Diddy Videos in One Episode"]

I have glimpsed at a couple clips but not watched the actual video.  This does seem to be getting closer to the truth by showing footage of who Diddy associated with and obviously had some knowledge of what he did behind the scenes.  I'm a little wary of watching it because, strangely enough, nobody seems to just list the names of people you see here.

What's up with that?  I did see a clip with Obama and another with two people whose names escape me, but they were famous enough that I'd heard of them.  None of the commenters have a reaction to whoever gets mentioned or viewed.  Just put the names out.

□ [“Chicago Gangbangers Plan Their Turf War With Venezuelan Tren De Aragua Gang"]

And the government isn't going to get involved.  The homies and their crew are the only ones who will do anything to protect any part of Chicago.  The Democrats in charge have spent a lot of time building towards this.  Even scarier, they could be on either side, or just want the overall chaos.

The gangs are probably the only ones who have guns to fight with because they're willing to break the laws in the first place.  No one else is that lucky.  Well, rich people have armed guards, but you get my point.  As the saying goes, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

We might want them to both lose but that's not going to happen, so who's more likely to and what are the results going to be?  I don't know how much the invaders have in the way of supplies but the gangs have the numbers, especially since the rest of Chicago will support them.  If I had to guess, I'd say the gangs will win, unless the federal government steps in.  They might start building walls around Chicago to keep people out, and in.
