HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM BGB

These boobs are welcoming in the New Year

 

ISRAEL AT WAR

OPEN LETTER

To: President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and other officials 

Stop pissing and moaning about the death toll of Gaza civilians. Stop warning Israel not to repeat the intensity of its attack on northern Gaza as the IDF starts operating in the south. 

Israel is not deliberately killing the civilian population of Gaza.  However, when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, the terrorists deliberately murdered at least 1,200 civilian Jews. And whenever Hamas is firing rockets at Israel, it is targeting  Jewish civilians, not the IDF.

Hamas is conducting its operations out of or adjacent to Gaza residential buildings, schools, mosques and hospitals. Because Hamas is using human shields, civilians are bound to be killed as Israel attempts to win a decisive victory over the terrorists. 

America is the very last nation on this planet with the right to condemn Israel's conduct in the war against Hamas.  During WWII, the US pulverized cities in Germany and Japan. Up to three million German civilians and one million Japanese civilians were killed during the bombings of their cities, most of which were carried out by the US.

Dresden, Germany after the bombing

                                Hiroshima, Japan after the atomic bomb

When the US pulverized German and Japanese cities, the primary targets were not industrial or military sites. The primary targets were German and Japanese civilians. The civilians were deliberately targeted in order to destroy the morale of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

Up to 210,000 Japanese civilians were killed by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The civilian death toll in those two cities from just two bombs caused the immediate surrender of Japan. It has been estimated that up to 400,000 American soldiers could have been killed had the US invaded Japan. That certainly justifies the high number of deaths suffered by Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

So, all of you shut up and let Israel do what it takes to win a decisive victory over Hamas. If that results in a lot of civilian casualties, so be it.

THE AIR MARSHALS SHOULD NOT BE MISSED

By Howie Katz

The Biden administration has removed the Air Marshals from airliners and sent them to the southern border to do administrative work. The should not be missed by the air traveling public.

The Federal Air Marshal Service began on March 2, 1962in response to a number of plane hijackings by Palestinian terrorists.

In 2005, two Air Marshals shot and killed a man on the boarding bridge of an American Airlines plane in Miami. The man had been unruly on the plane which he left even though the flight crew told him he could not do so.  He then claimed to have a bomb in his backpack. That is the only instance involving Air Marshals that I know of.

 

Federal air marshals perform tactical training at the William J. Hughs Technical Center in Pomona, N.J.

 

It's just as well that they have been remove from our airliners. Although they hat to meet the toughest firearms qualification standards and received special training in close quarter combat, there was always the real danger of innocent passengers getting shot if the Marshals became involved in an onboard gunfight. There was also the possibility of aircraft decompression.

And that;s why I say the Air Marshals should not be missed.

ABOUT THOSE PALESTINIAN REFUGEE CAMPS

Israel attacks Palestinian refugees in their 'camps'

 

By Howie Katz 

          This is what people believe a refugee camp looks like

 

The media repeatedly reports about Israeli air strikes on Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza and ground attacks on Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank. Yes, it's not fake news, but the 'camps' attacked by Israel are not what people picture them to be.

The Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza and the West Bank are really cities within a city

Palestinian children walk through a flooded street following heavy rain in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip, on Nov. 8, 2022

A drone image shows Palestinian homes and buildings in al-Shati refugee camp, in Gaza City, April 6, 2021          The Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Note the abundance of satellite dishes.

 

These 'camps' contain not only homes, but also the kind of businesses you'd expect to find in any city of several thousand people. While many residents  of the camps live in squalor, you will also find quite a few prosperous people therein.  And you will also find many cars in the camps.

 

The Jenin camp is also home to the Lions' Den, a well-armed terrorist militia which has attacked Israeli soldiers and civilians.

A show of force by Lions’ Den “resistance” gunmen in September 2022.

 

So when Israeli security forces attack the Jenin refugee camp, they are fighting well-armed terrorists, not innocent civilians. And when the IDF bombs the refugee camps in Gaza, they are targeting Hamas terrorists, not innocent civilians.

When the media reports that Israel has attacked Palestinian refugee camps, please note that those attacks are against cities and not against refugees living in camps full of tents.

As for the term 'Palestinian refugees', that is also very misleading. The Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan ceased being refugees dozens of years ago. The residents in the Palestinian refugee camps are descendants of refugees, but far from being refugees themselves.

HOCKEY IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

20 CHILDREN TIED TOGETHER AND BURNED TO DEATH BY SAVAGES

By Howie Katz

 

The blood splattered community nursery in Kibbutz Be'eri

As the media releases dozens of gut wrenching pictures showing Palestinian children wounded and killed by the Israeli bombing of Gaza, the world seems to have forgotten the atrocities Hamas committed against innocent Israeli men, women, children and infants on Oct 7.

On October 7, Hamas slaughtered 1,400 innocent Israeli civilians, including infants, in a savagery not seen since the Barbarians destroyed the Roman Empire.

Hamas commited many atrocities against the innocent Israelis, but one atrocity stands out:

The bodies of 20 children murdered by Hamas savages on October 7 were found tied together and burned close to Kibbutz Be'eri.

The children in Gaza are suffering as the result of the October 7 Hamas attack. Israel and Hamas are now at war, and as in every war, civilians are among the casualties. 

There is a big difference between Israel and  Hamas. While the Hamas savages deliberately murdered Israeli men, women, children and infants, Israel is not deliberately targeting Gaza civilians.

So to the UN, to the members of the Jewish Voice for Peace, and to all the others that are bewailing the bombing of Gaza ... spare me your tears and go to hell!

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A RAT PROBLEM ..... WE'RE DEAD LAST IN THE TOP 20

SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM AOC

By Howie Katz

AOC has warned the public about false information

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has warned the public: "If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources,"

Good advice!

But less than a week later, Ilhan Omar posted a picture of dead children she claimed were killed by the Israeli bombings of Gaza.

 

The image that was reposted by Ilhan Omar showed children killed 10 years ago after a sarin gas attack by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. Omar claimed they were children in Gaza killed by the Israeli bombings.

Omar appeared at a press conference outside Capitol Hill where she accused Israel of committing a war crime alongside other members of the 'Squad' including Representatives Ayanna Pressley (left) and Summer Lee (right) 

 

Actually, the picture Omar posted was not of children killed in Gaza. It was a picture of children killed 10 years ago in Syria after a sarin gas attack by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. 

Omar labeled her false post "Child Genocide in Palestine."

After it became known that the image was actually taken 10 years ago ... guess what ... Omar removed the picture. 

Omar has not apologized or made any comment about posting the false information.

Palestinians inspect a crater caused by an Israeli air strike 

 

After Israel allegedly blew up a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 men, women and children, the worldwide media immediately blamed the catastrophe on an Israeli air strike. The media was full of gut wrenching picture of badly injured children, as well as bodies of those killed.

 

 

Wounded Palestinian children inside al-Shifa hospital on October 17, 2023

Bodies of Palestinians killed by an explosion at the Ahli Arab hospital are gathered at the front yard of the al-Shifa hospital, in Gaza City 

 

When Israel denied it had bombed the hospital and claimed the blast was caused by an errant Islamic Jihad rocket, I shook my head in disbelief. None of the rockets possessed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad could cause so much damage and kill so many people. It had to be an air strike. I was ready to condemn the Jewish state,

But then I ran across a BBC article which examined the blast site. Pictures of the hospital parking lot where the blast occurred showed a bunch of wrecked and burned out cars. The hospital building was untouched except for some broken windows. The pictures also showed the crater caused by whatever hit the parking lot.

That crater was very small, maybe four feet wide and a couple of feet deep. That crater was not caused by an air strike. An air strike would have cratered the whole hospital parking lot and severely damaged the hospital building.

The crater convinced me that the blast at the hospital was not caused by Israel.

Hamas called Israel's claim about an errand rocket an "outrageous lie." But what is really outrageous is Hamas's accusation and how the worldwide media ran with it. Today, much of the media still blames the catastrophe on an "air strike."

Now, a word about the reported death toll. While dozens were obviously killed in the parking lot, but 500 ... no way, not even close! That's another outrageous Hamas lie and the media continues to go with it.

And I'm not the only one fooled. The media reports have led to mass protests and riots all over the world.

THE GRANDSON SCAM

By Howie Katz

 

 

I received a phone call from my grandson yesterday. 

He told me  that he had been in an accident and had been arrested. He went on to say that in order to get out of jail, he needed to put up a $2,500 bond. Of course he did not have the money.

He told me he'd never been in jail before and started to cry. Then he begged me for the $2,500 and gave me an address where to send the money. 

I kept him on the phone for about 10 minutes and finally told him "I'll send the money right away."  Then I hung up on him.

Of course, I don't have a grandson.

This the third call I've gotten from my grandson in jail over the past couple of years.  I love getting these calls because I can have some fun stringing along those scam artists.

WAR IS HELL

By Howie Katz

 

 

The pictures showing the suffering of Gaza civilians, especially little children, are heart breaking.  

Israel and Hamas are in a war that Hamas started, and war is hell.

But before Israel is accused of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, a look at World War II is in order.

The carpet bombing of German cities by the United States and Great Britain killed about 450,000 civilian men, women and children and injured another 12,400,000.

 

The wreckage of Dresden in which up to 25,000 civilians were killed

 

The purpose of the carpet bombings was not to destroy military and industrial sites, but to demoralize the German people.

The United States and Great Britain were not charged with War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. 

And then there were the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

REPORT ISRAEL IGNORED EGYPTIAN WARNING OF IMPENDING ATTACK BY HAMAS CANNOT BE TRUE

Texas Republican Congressman Michael McCaul claimed Egyptian intelligence had warned Israel that Hamas was about to attack three days before the attack occurred   

Howie Katz

 

Texas Republican Congressman Michael McCaul

Did Israel ignore Egyptian warnings that Hamas was about to carry out a surprise attack on the Jewish state? That's what Texas Republican Congressman Michael McCaul claimed on Wednesday.

"We know Egypt had warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen," McCaul said.

When McCaul was asked where he heard that, he replied: "I don't want to get too into classifieds but a warning was given."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied that Israel had received an Egyptian warning and called the report "fake news."

In a time of war, you never know who to believe. 

I'm not questioning McCaul's truthfulness, but I do question his source of information.

It is absolutely inconceivable that Israel would ignore any warning, credible or not, that it was about to be attacked. 

Israel was clearly caught asleep at the wheel. In recent weeks, Israel focused its attention on Hezbollah in the north and took its eye off of Hamas in the south. That was a very costly mistake and when the war finally ends, Israeli heads will roll, possibly even Netanyahu's.

Hamas and Iran, which helped plan the attack and reportedly gave the go ahead, probably thought the time was ripe because of all the turmoil in Israel over judicial reform. Israel's left, which encouraged military reservists to refuse to serve, made the Jewish state look weak.

Let me repeat, it is absolutely inconceivable that Israel would ignore any warning, credible or not, that it was about to be attacked.  

A $2.3 BILLION ENTERTAINMENT VENUE

Some thoughts on the Las Vegas Sphere

 

By Howie Katz

 

 

 

$2.3 billion is a helluva lot of moolah.

As of August this year, there were 6,566 homeless people in Las Vegas and the number keeps increasing.  Just think about how many homeless people $2.3 billion would shelter and feed.

Most of the $2.3 billion was borne by New York's Madison Square Garden. In New York there are more than 100,000 men, women and children that are homeless.  $2.3 billion would shelter and feed all those homeless people, as well as the nigrants as they keep coming.

 

And what about energy conservation. How much energy is used to keep the sphere lit up? That should energize President Biden and all those calling for energy conservation.

 

Furthermore, $2.3 billion would go a long way to fight the crime that is rampant in our country nowadays.  

 

This extravaganza is comparable to Nero fiddling while Rome burned. 

 

The people behind the sphere should be horsewhipped!

 

See you at the Las Vegas Sphere.

TRUMP USED THE SECOND MOST-VULGAR WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE - MOTHERFUCKER

Trump did what many Americans do daily

By Howie Katz

While addressing the California GOP fall convention on Friday, former President Donald Trump was talking about being indicted when he said: 

"What they've done is they've gone after opponents, so that if you become president, or some other job, but if you become president, and you don't like somebody or somebody is beating you by 10, 15, or 20 points, like we're doing with crooked Joe Biden - let's indict the motherfucker."

His remark was met with laughter and applause.

As expected, Democrats were quick to condemn Trump, saying that use of the word was unbecoming and beneath a person seeking the presidency.

Having used the word myself on a number of occasions, I find no fault in Trump's use of it.

And I also found no fault in President Harry Truman when he publicly called columnist Drew Pearson a son of a bitch for having discredited daughter Margaret's piano performance.

RUSSIAN HACKERS CYBERATTACKED MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL

MGM was hit by the largest ever resort cyberattack

 

 

Last week's cyberattack devastated MGM Resorts International which includes the Las Vegas Aria, the Bellagio, Luxor, MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay casinos and the MGM Springfield in Massachusetts, MGM National Harbor outside of Washington, D.C., and the Empire City Casino in New York, all of which were affected by the attack. The cyberattack even disabled the electronic key cards to the guest rooms.

This makes it the largest ever resort cyberattack. 

The Russian ransomware group ALPHV, also known as BlackCat, first claimed it attacked MGM. However, that was followed by UNC3944, also known as Scattered Spider, which claimed it was responsible.

While MGM has thus far refused to pay the ransom, the Wall Street Journal reported that some weeks earlier, Caesars Entertainment paid a $30 million ransom to Scattered Spider.

Since the ransomware groups are based in Russia, the hackers cannot be brought to justice.

TODAY IS 9/11 REMEMBRANCE DAY

There are certain events that should always be remembered and never forgotten. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers  and the Pentagon is one of those events

 

By Howie Katz 

 

 

The 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans. Every president since then has participated in 9/11 commemorative ceremonies. Every president, that is except Joe Biden.

Biden is off in Vietnam talking about a John Wayne movie with Indians when babbling about climate change. Biden had been in India attending a G20 summit. Instead of returning home at the end of that meeting to commemorate 9/11, Biden flew off to Vietnam on September 10.

There are four events in my lifetime that I will always remember.

1. Coming to America

In 1936, my parents and I came to America as refugees from Nazi Germany.  I was only nine-plus-years-old, but I will never forget the awesome sight of those skyscrapers as our ship approached New York Harbor.

2. Pearl Harbor

On December 7, 1941, I was in a Marshall, Texas movie theater. Suddenly the movie stopped and the lights came on. The theater manager got up in front of the now blank screen to announce the 'Japs' had bombed Pearl Harbor and sunk some of our battleships. 

3. The assassination of JFK

On November 22, 1963, I was in a meeting of parole agents in Santa Ana, California.  The meeting was interrupted and we were informed that President Kennedy had been shot and believed to be dead. We were then told to go home. 

4. September 11, 2001

On that date, I was a volunteer at the Houston Zoo cleaning out the Orangutan cages. The phone rang and I picked it up. Some guy said that a plane had accidentally hit one of the Twin Towers. After a short pause he said, "Hey, that was no accident, another plane has just hit the other tower."

Unfortunately, as the years go by, those events are forgotten.  That's why it is so important that our presidents commemorate 9/11. The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon should always be remembered.

And we should also remember that except for the heroics of some brave passengers, another plane would have hit Congress or the White House.  

ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT

How I'd like to get the news in the mornings when I get up.

Those Extras look like very good news.

Make Me Great Again

 

Today former President Trump was arrested, booked and fingerprinted after which he pleaded not guilty in a Miami federal courtroom to 37 counts of mishandling classified documents.

By the way, the investigation of Trump took only five weeks while the investigation of Hunter Biden is still ongoing after five years.

 

                      

Hunter's laptop revealed evidence of wrongdoing, but after five years of investigating him, the president's son has faced no charges

So, whatever happened to equal justice under the law?

Oh yes, one is the no good son of a sitting president while the other is a threat to the reelection of that president.

HENPECKED HARRY TESTIFIES AGAINST HIMSELF

By Howie Katz 

 

 

When Henpecked Harry  showed up in court on Tuesday, he testified that he "isn't sure" if his phone was hacked.

He isn't sure? Good God, he sued the Daily Mirror for hacking into his phone. That's what his case is all about.

And to think Henpecked Harry was 3rd in line for the throne.

THEE TRUE MEANING OF MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day Is Not About Family Reunions, A Day At The Beach, Or Spending Time At An Amusement Park

Nowadays, if it were not for the boob tube, most Americans wouldn't know what Memorial Day is about

By Howie Katz

 

The iconic photo of US Marines on Iwo Jima raising the American flag at the top of Mount Suribachi. In thirty-six days of fighting on the island, nearly 7,000 US Marines were killed.

 

Memorial Day should be a solemn day during which we remember and honor all those who lost their lives fighting for our country, from the Revolutionary War through the war in Afghanistan.  

Unfortunately, nowadays most Americans wouldn't know what Memorial Day was about if it weren't for the boob tube. Instead of honoring the fallen heroes, Americans use this day off from work for family reunions, a day at the beach, or to have a good time at Amusement parks like Disney World. They could care less about those who died so that they could enjoy this and every other day.

Take just one war, World War II. During that war, more than 400,00 American soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen died fighting in the European and Pacific theaters.

One battle is personal for me. Two of my high school friends died fighting on the sands of Iwo Jima. One of them, Freddie Warren, preceded the legendary Y.A. Tittle as quarterback of the Marshall Mavericks football team. Thus, Memorial Day has not been a joyous day for me.

And a word about American POWs. Those who surrendered to the enemy were no less heroes than those who died in combat.

American POWs in North Vietnam

"I like people who weren’t captured." Those were the words of a famous draft dodger. Donald Trump's father paid some doctor to make up a phony diagnosis of bad feet so that his son could avoid serving in the Vietnam War. The audacity of Donald Trump to disrespect POWs when he himself was a cowardly draft dodger shows the man has no shame.

 

American POWs did not choose to be captured. Unlike cowardly draft dodgers like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, they fought for our country until taken prisoner.  They were often subjected to brutality by their Japanese, Chinese/Korean and Vietnamese captors. Many did not survive to come back home. Those POWs were heroes and should be honored and remembered as such.

 

America today is embroiled in racial animosity, hatred of the police, transgenderism and wokeness. That is not what America's soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen died for. What a shame!

 

I am proud to have served my country during World War II. I know the true meaning of Memorial Day. If you don't, shame, shame on you.

OUR VICE STUPID IN CHIEF ENDORSES TRANSGENDERISM

When in his mid-60s after three marriages and six children, Bruce(lla) Jenner decided he wanted to be a woman, he set off a trend that has been endorsed by the Democratic White House and is helping to take our once great nation down the drain

Vice Stupid in Chief Kamala Harris dances in her rainbow colors

 

Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender woman, has complained on Tik Tok about how her personal relationships have fallen apart since he-she underwent her sex change operations. He-she said she struggles to get a date and is still to be kissed "as a girl".  

 

That got the attention of Kamala Harris. Our Vice Stupid in Chief sent Mulvaney a letter of support on her official stationary.

 

 

 

 

No wonder our once great nation is circling the drain when Biden and Harris endorse transgenderism.

WAS THE NASHVILLE HE-SHE SCHOOL SHOOTER EXECUTED?

By Howie Katz

 

Officer Michael Collazo stands over and finishes off the fallen he-she school shooter

 

First of all, I want to congratulate the Nashville PD and its officers for the way they swiftly dealt with and ended the recent Christian school shooting. They shot dead transgender Audrey (formerly Adam) Hale before he-she could shoot any more children

Nashville was no Uvalde.

Unlike in Uvalde, the Nashville officers did not stand around waiting for someone to give some orders. Immediately upon their arrival at the school, the responding officer grabbed their assault rifles out of the trunks of their police cars and ran to enter the school. Once inside they conducted a methodical search until they found the he-she shooter on the second floor.

Upon spotting the shooter, Officers Rex Engelbert opened fire and brought he-she down. Officer Michael Collazo then stood over the fallen shooter and finished he-she off.

 

Officer Michael Collazo

Officer Rex Engelbert 

 

Officers Rex Engelbert and Michal Collazo, together with the other Nashville cops who searched for the shooter, are true heroes. Theirs was a job well done. 

 

 

 

Transgender Audrey (formerly Adam) Hale killed three nine-year-old children, the school principal and two other staffers at the Nashville Christian school

 

The police heroics aside, this brings up the legal issue of Officer Collazo shooting he-she Hale after the shooter was downed by Officer Engelbert. Was he-she reaching for one of three guns as Collazo stood over her? If so, there can be no doubt that the shooting was legal. But if he-she was still alive and did not try to reach for a gun, Collazo's shooting amounted to an execution and that would not be legal. 

As for the Uvalde school shouting, one should not question the bravery of the officers who stood around for an hour and 14 minutes while a shooter was killing 19 elementary schoolchildren and two teachers. 

There was a multi-agency response involving school officers, Uvalde city cops, sheriff's deputies and state troopers, all waiting for someone to order them to go after the shooter, an order that never came. It wasn't until a Border Patrol tactical team took it upon themselves to go after the shooter that the waiting officers joined in.

Who's in charge? That's the problem with hastily assembled multi-agency operations. 

Fortunately for the children that he-she Hale was prevented from shooting, Nashville did not have the problem of a multi-agency response.
