Donald Trump isn't even the most interesting Trump.

And he's certainly the least accomplished.

Dr. John G. Trump was an electrical engineer with the National Defense Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research and Development in WW2. That's serious TOP SECRET type shit there...

Summary, after the death of Nikolai Tesla in 1943, the US Gov't had a KEEN interest in the papers and records of Tesla who was believed to be working on advanced weaponry... Donald Trump's Uncle was the last person to inspect all of Tesla's papers.

One of the more controversial topics involving Nikola Tesla is what became of many of his technical and scientific papers after he died in 1943. Just before his death at the height of World War II, he claimed that he had perfected his so-called "death beam." So it was natural that the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies would be interested in any scientific ideas involving weaponry. Some were concerned that Tesla's papers might fall into the hands of the Axis powers or the Soviets.

The morning after the inventor's death, his nephew Sava Kosanovic´ hurried to his uncle's room at the Hotel New Yorker. He was an up-and-coming Yugoslav official with suspected connections to the communist party in his country. By the time he arrived, Tesla's body had already been removed, and Kosanovic´ suspected that someone had already gone through his uncle's effects. Technical papers were missing as well as a black notebook he knew Tesla kept—a notebook with several hundred pages, some of which were marked "Government."

P. E. Foxworth, assistant director of the New York FBI office, was called in to investigate. According to Foxworth, the government was "vitally interested" in preserving Tesla's papers. Two days after Tesla's death, representatives of the Office of Alien Property went to his room at the New Yorker Hotel and seized all his possessions

TWO really interesting NATSEC articles re: Middle East Wars.

Hamas antitank strikes show depth of ‘powerful’ arsenal facing Israel

Where years ago Israeli forces faced stones and molotov cocktails thrown by Palestinians, they now confront weapons such as laser-guided missiles and antitank munitions in Gaza. Hamas has been “arming itself to the teeth,” one military analyst said.

The Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, is now inside Gaza City, fighting Hamas above and below ground — among civilians, around hospitals, schools and mosques — in areas the IDF says are honeycombed with tunnels.Inside Gaza's tunnel network: Places for Hamas to attack, escape and regroup
This is still asymmetrical warfare. Israel fields one of the best-armed, most technologically sophisticated forces in the world. Hamas brigades today may have advanced weapons, but they are clearly outmatched.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/iran-isn-t-impressed-by-u-s-airstrikes/ar-AA1jJO64?cvid=f96b1e287671409884c731b6de56c21c&ei=77

Iran Isn’t Impressed by U.S. Airstrikes

The Pentagon said this week that Iranian proxies have attacked U.S. forces in the Middle East with drones or rockets 46 times since Oct. 17—some 24 times in Iraq and 22 more in Syria. Some 56 U.S. service members have been injured. The Pentagon is quick to stress that all have returned to duty, including those sent to Landstuhl in Germany for further evaluation. That’s good to hear, but troops have suffered traumatic brain injuries, in addition to more minor injuries such as shrapnel or perforated ear drums. These troops didn’t sign up to be repeated targets of enemy fire without the ability to respond in kind.
The surgical U.S. military strikes in response aren’t making Tehran think twice about hitting American troops. The U.S. on Wednesday dispatched two F-15s to destroy an Iranian weapons locker in eastern Syria. But why would Tehran blink now if it didn’t after similar strikes on weapons depots on Oct. 26? The Houthi rebels in Yemen this week took down a U.S. drone over the Red Sea. They don’t appear to be worried about the U.S. vow to respond “swiftly and decisively,” to quote Secretary of State Antony Blinken last month, if U.S. forces or facilities were attacked again.

A Batshit Number of Young Swing State Voters Think RFK Jr. Should Be President

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/11/robert-f-kennedy-jr-2024-poll

Not exactly what some people have been saying lately...

Swing State under 45's favor RFK over Biden and Trump.

Based on the Sienna poll... which might be trash of course.

As you’ve probably heard by now, a very scary poll released on Sunday shows Joe Biden losing the 2024 election to the four-time indicted insurrection enthusiast Donald Trump in five out of six major battleground states. That’s obviously a wildly disturbing prospect; it would be like asking someone if they’d like to catch a movie after work or have a rusty crowbar shoved up their ass, and then seeing them choosing the latter. But possibly even more surprising? How popular anti-vaxxer candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is among voters.

Yes, according to the results of the New York Times/Siena College poll, one quarter of 3,662 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin said they’d go for RFK Jr. in a hypothetical matchup between him, Biden, and Trump. And among voters under 45? He beats both the 45th and 46th presidents. The results are similar to a recently conducted national poll by Quinnipiac University, which saw the nephew of John F. Kennedy winning 38% of registered voters ages 18-34, compared to Biden’s 32% and Trump’s 27%.

Nashville Mayor vows to find out who leaked Covenant School Shooter Manifesto. (Graphic Warning)

https://www.wionews.com/world/nashville-school-shooters-manifesto-leaked-has-hateful-text-reports-655918

I won't post the picture of the journal pages... too inflammatory and disgusting.

Associated Press reported that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has declined to confirm the authenticity of the leaked images.

Several US media outlets have quoted the lines purportedly written by Hale. The language spews hate.

"Wanna kill all you little c*******," one page from the manifesto reads. "Bunch of little f****** w/ your white privlages f*** you f******." says an entry, according to CBS News.


https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nashville-investigation-covenant-school-shooters-writings-rcna123924

The mayor of Nashville, Tennessee, called Monday for an investigation after images purported to be the writings of a shooter who killed six people at The Covenant School in March were posted online.

The three images of writings, which were posted Monday by a conservative podcast and YouTube show host, are said to be from the shooter. NBC News has not confirmed whether the documents are authentic.

Audrey Hale, 28, was killed by police after having opened fire on March 27 at the private Christian school, which Hale had once attended.

Zelenskyy invites Trump to Ukraine, says he needs just 24 minutes to explain to him why he 'can't bring peace'

Zelenskyy trolling Trump is pretty funny...

But I wish he would just not talk about Trump at all... Trump thrives on attention.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/zelenskyy-invites-trump-ukraine-says-just-needs-24-minutes-explain-can-rcna123713

Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy, in an exclusive interview with “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, invited Donald Trump to visit Ukraine after the former U.S. president promised he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours if he is re-elected in 2024.

Zelenskyy doubted Trump’s claim. “Former President Trump said that [in] about 24 hours, that he can manage it and finish the war. For me, what can I say? So he’s very welcome as well. President Biden was here, and he — I think he understood some details which you can understand only being here,” Zelenskyy told NBC News’ Kristen Welker. “So, I invite President Trump.”

“If he can come here, I will need 24 minutes — yes, 24 minutes. Not more. Yes. Not more — 24 minutes to explain [to] President Trump that he can’t manage this war” in that time frame, Zelenskyy said. “He can’t bring peace because of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”

Tuned into Sean Hannity today...

He and his guest were especially bloodthirsty.

Criticizing the Biden administration for making statements of support for the innocent Palestinians

Just 100% full throttle Bibi knob polishing and warmongering.

I'm quite happy my perspective lies 180 degrees from his.

These a-holes are trying to get innocent Muslims in the USA hurt or harassed by the wingnuts.

Israel isn't really talking about their end goal and how they'll get there.

So I'll go out on a limb and... guess.

IMHO... I think Israel wants to cut Gaza into two parts, North and South. I think they want to establish a secure border between North and South and root out Hamas from the North, building by building and tunnel by tunnel. After they achieve their goals, they will blow up tunnels and flatten buildings. A year or so from now... when the North is a smoldering rubble strewn wasteland they'll hand off the territory to the UN for rebuilding under the close watch of the IDF to make sure no tunnels or bunkers are built.

Or I could be completely wrong and Israel will follow precedent and permanently seize the North as a new Israeli settlement.

What do Y'ALL think the end goal is?

November 1, 2023

NOT a good look, Bibi...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-leans-into-world-war-ii-rhetoric-to-justify-gaza-war/ar-AA1jbKvG

I hope this warmonger cretin is gone soon... the voters should get rid of him. His responsibility that the Intel went unheeded for 10/7.




“In 1944, the Royal Air Force bombed the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen. It’s a perfectly legitimate target. But the British pilots missed and instead of the Gestapo headquarters, they hit a children’s hospital nearby. And I think 84 children were burned to death,” he said. “That is not a war crime. That is not something you blame Britain for doing. That was a legitimate act of war with tragic consequences that accompany such legitimate actions.”

Egypt denounces Israeli 'wartime proposal' to forcibly displace Palestinians to North Sinai

Fucking stupid proposal from Israel...

https://www.newarab.com/news/egypt-slams-israels-plan-displace-palestinians-sinai

I want everyone to read this carefully... read twice if necessary.

"We, the Egyptians, are ready to sacrifice millions of lives so that nobody approaches a grain of sand [in North Sinai]," the prime minister declared while addressing the attendees formed of local tribal leaders, army personnel, commanders, public figures and journalists.

DeSantis and his boots, DuKakis in the tank, Kerry in the clean-room suit and Newsom fouling a 10 year old.

Oh and Romney had a hilarious one but I forgot.

Lol... a bad look.

Gavin Newsom playing basketball with a few 9-10 year old Chinese boys appears to take the game a little too seriously...

After spinning the ball on his finger and dribbling behind his back the Governor catches a charging foul after plowing through the little boy.
