Greta Thunberg with Rima Hassan at her side speaks to the press
before they boarded the Medleen for its attempt to reach to the Gaza
Strip
Eco-pest
Greta Thunberg and European Parliament member Rima Hassan set sail on
the Medleen to the Gaza Strip with a token load of aid and a number of
pro-Palestinian activists knowing full-well that that they would be
stopped by the IDF.
So,
what was the purpose of their hoax? Thunberg and Hassan wanted the IDF
to intercept the Medleen so that the media would vilify Israel
throughout the world for not allowing them to deliver much needed food
for the 'starving children' in the Gaza Strip. They made sure their
planned voyage would receive lots of publicity before they set sail on
the Medleen.
When
the IDF boarded the ship, Thunberg and Hassan achieved their goal of
having Israel vilified worldwide. The Jewish state was thoroughly
condemned for preventing the Medleen from reaching the Gaza Strip, even
though the ship carried only a few sacks of humanitarian aid.
An
Israeli soldier offers food and water to activist Greta Thunberg
wearing a life jacket and frog hat aboard the intercepted Gaza-bound Medleen. The
only good thing to come out of this event is that Israeli Defense
Minister Israel Katz has ordered that Thunberg, Hassan and the other
pro-Palestinian activists that were onboard the sized Medleen be forced
to watch the 43-minute video "Bearing Witness."
The video of Hamas atrocities "Bearing
Witness" is a video produced by the IDF that shows in sickening detail
the atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent Israeli men, women,
children and babies.If
the video did nothing more than make Thunberg, Hassan and the other
pro-Palestinian activists sick, it will have served its purpose.Unfortunately
Thunberg, Hassan and the other activists refused to watch the video.
Thus, the eco-pest will continue to occupy the antisemitism bandwagon
instead of limiting her activities to warning us about the end of the
world due to climate change.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is serving time in prison for being white and for piss-poor police work
Former
Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is serving time in prison for
the murder of career criminal George Floyd. But Chauvin did not murder
Floyd.
George Floyd died of his own doing. An autopsy revealed
that he had ingested a fatal dose of Fentanyl. What kept him alive was
that he also had methamphetamine in his system. The deadly effect of the
Fentanyl, a powerful depressant, was offset by the meth, a stimulant.
The
autopsy also revealed that Floyd had a bad heart. That would help
explain why he complained, "I can't breathe." An officer's body cam
clearly showed Floyd complaining that he couldn't breathe way before he
was thrown to the ground and pinned there by the cops.
One
doesn't have to be a pathologist to figure out that a combination of
drugs and a bad heart contributed to Floyd's demise, if not actually the
direct cause of his death.
Pinning Floyd to the ground for nine minutes while waiting for an ambulance was piss-poor police work.
Pinning George Floyd to the ground for nine minutes while waiting for an ambulance was piss-poor police work
Chauvin
and his fellow cops should have placed Floyd inside a police car while
awaiting an ambulance. Or they could have driven him to a jail where
the booking officers would have called for an ambulance if they felt it
was necessary. The arresting cops could have even rushed Floyd directly
to a hospital.
Floyd's death set off Black Lives Matter protests
and riots.all over the country. That resulted in Chauvin's political
lynching.
Had Chauvin been white, there would have been no
protests and he would not have been charged with a crime by both the
State of Minnesota and the federal government.
The Minneapolis cops who pinned Floyd to the ground are not the only law
enforcement officers that are victims of the BLM riots. Ever since
those riots, America's white cops who used deadly force against black
men or women have been targeted with criminal investigations by woke
prosecutors, even when the use of that force was clearly justified
Chauvin is only guilty of being white and of piss-poor police work, not of murder.
Ben Shapiro, a strong ally of President Trump, and other MAGA supporters have urged the President to pardon Chuvin.
Trump
has pardoned the rioters who attacked police officers as they stormed
the nation's capitol on January 6, 2021. He has also pardoned some of
his crooked supporters.
But Trump hasn't pardoned Derek Chauvin who has committed no crime but is rotting away in prison. Why not?
Memorial Day is a special time during which we should pay homage
to all those brave members of our military who died fighting for our
country
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 lost their lives
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 were captured by the enemy were no less heroes than those who died in combat.

"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.
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.
Draft dodger Trump also referred to the soldiers laid to rest in the American cemetery at Normandy as "losers."
The audacity of Donald Trump to disrespect POWs and those who gave their lives fighting for our country when he himself
was a cowardly draft dodger shows the man has no shame.
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.
On
the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, the
career criminal is again being memorialized by his Houston family and
friends, as well as by the ever obliging media.Floyd has been bestowed with sainthood by the likes of race baiter Al Sharpton who presided at his funerals in Raeford, North Carolina and in Houston..Saint George must be rolling over with laughter in his Houston grave. But Floyd was no saint. He was a career criminal who served four years in a Texas prison after his conviction for aggravated
robbery with a deadly weapon. His death in Minneapolis resulted during
his arrest for attempting to pass a counterfeit $20 bill.The
autopsy showed that at the time of that arrest, Floyd had a lethal dose
of fentanyl as well as methamphetamine in his system. The meth is what
probably kept him alive by counteracting against the effects of the
fentanyl.Floyd's
death led to Black Lives Matter riots all over the country with rioters
screaning "Justice for George Floyd." Those riots were the reason
Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was tried and convicted of
murder.Had
Chauvin been black, there would have been no BLM riots and he would not
have been charged with any crime. Justice for Derek Chuvin, the victim of a political lynching, demands that he be pardoned by both
the President of the United States and the Governor of Minnesota.As for Saint George's death ... Good riddance.
A glimmering corridor inside the $400 million mile-high palace that Qatar gifted to President Trump
Let
me start out by saying that by accepting that $400 million opulent
Boeing 747 gift from Qatar, President Trump has accepted a bribe.
I
know that Attorney General Pam Bondi has said that because the gift is
not conditional it would not constitute bribery. But Bondi's statement
is hardly credible since she has served as a foreign agent and lobbyist
for Qatar, earning $115,0000 per
month.
Qatar, which has been the principal
funder of Hamas and is home to Hamas leaders, has not gifted Trump this
mile-high palace out of the goodness of its heart.
While
Qatar did not make any conditions with the gift, it fully expects Trump
to rule in its favor whenever the occasion arises. That makes the
mile-high palace gift a bribe.
When Trump
campaigned for the presidency he vowed to drain the swamp, but by
accepting this bribe, the President is enjoying the swamp.
I'm
far from being the only one to criticize Trump in this matter. A number
of Trump's most ardent supporters have also torched the President for
accepting the Qatari gift.
Trump worshiper Laura Loomer said it best by saying, "We cannot accept a $400 million 'gift' from jihadists in suits."
Shame on President Trump.
ADDENDUM: The Qatari Boeing 747 will require extensive and lengthy retrofitting before it meets the Pentagon's rigorous standards for
Air Force One. So it would be well into his term before Trump can use
the mile-high palace as the official plane of the President.
