🚨BREAKING🚨Israeli forces are now issuing direct death threats to Lebanese journalists on WhatsApp as well as besieging them.
Al-Akhbar correspondent @AmalKhalil83, who has been documenting the devastation across southern Lebanon, received these messages from an Israeli number (+972 54-869-5113):
“We know where you are… we will reach you… leave if you want to keep your head on your shoulders.”
First message:
“Alright, my lady, you are moving from one village to another, but you still haven’t gone to enough funerals or hospitals. There is a lot of grief & sorrow behind that smile you try to show on Twitter. Let’s see what your answer will be… Is your house still standing, Anisa (Miss)? I hope so?”
Second message:
“We know where you are & we will reach you when the time comes. Even though you are not important to us, in the end we will take everything into account. I suggest you flee to Qatar or somewhere else if you want to keep your head connected to your shoulders :)”
This is not intimidation. This is the IDF issuing an explicit death threat to a journalist for covering their crimes.
At the same time, Israeli forces besieged Amal al-Khalil & journalist Zeinab Faraj in al-Tayri, blocking the Red Cross & Lebanese Army from reaching them.
They were in a delegate vehicle when a drone strike hit a vehicle behind them, killing two people. Both journalists were trapped at the scene.
Amal contacted the Red Cross before her phone died. Her last message confirmed she was still safe.
Rescue teams still cannot reach the two besieged journalists, Amal al-Khalil & Zeinab Faraj. They are just 500 meters away, but the road has been cut off by an Israeli strike, according to Red Cross paramedics.
This is targeting journalists in real time. This is a crime.
Pure state terrorism against the press.

Piers Morgan just read the Haaretz investigation. IDF soldiers shot an unarmed old man and three boys. Their bodies were riddled with bullets. The battalion commander spat on them and yelled, 'This is what happens.' In another incident, a tank fired hundreds of rounds at five Palestinians crossing a line. Four were killed. A bulldozer buried them in the sand.
Gideon Levy, the Israeli journalist, said: 'This is not exceptions. This is the occupation. You cannot occupy for decades and remain human. What will make people realize we are growing monsters in front of our eyes?

Several things have been making the rounds on social media this week.
The first is a video of an Israeli detailing the Israeli army's systematic sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners and detainees (FYI Palestinians have documented this for decades).
The second is that of a photo of an Israeli soldier taking an axe to a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon.
Guess which one has received the most attention in the Western mainstream media?

There are many absurdities in the ICE data, but here's one that stands out. On Sept. 4, ICE arrested more than 320 South Koreans, detained them in deplorable conditions in Georgia for a week, and then deported them home. They were all legal immigrants.

Holy hell.
This interview were asked two gay men with a baby if they’d heard the stats on child molestation and they immediately became violent and assaulted him.

The proper response from Donald Trump to these Virginia shenanigans is to announce that the retrocession of Arlington and Alexandria to Virginia was unconstitutional and that they are and always will be part of the federal district

🚨 BREAKING: Virginia voters have PASSED the egregiously Congressional gerrymandering map, expected to give 10 SEATS to Democrats — only 1 seat to Republicans, per DDHQ
That means over 90% of Virginia becomes represented by DEMOCRATS, disenfranchising a HUGE swath of the entire state
The courts MUST strike this down!
FLORIDA must jump in! Their special session is coming up.
This is why the GOP must ALWAYS play hardball on redistricting. DON'T BACK DOWN FROM THIS!

I was assured that this never happens and that it's antisemitic to say it does.

Fmr Israeli intelligence force captain Ella Kenan tells Jewish conference she runs an influence operation out of Tel Aviv that works with "over 60,000 people around the world that make our content viral." She says she made up the "Hamas is ISIS" meme after Oct 7, and they pushed it so far it "even got to Biden." "We also create content for non-Jewish influencers that collaborate with us," Kenan reveals. "We got close to three billion views since the beginning of the war."

Let me walk you through the events of the war so far:
1. The United States and Israel tried regime change; it didn’t work. Or rather, they got regime change—Iran became an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–led military dictatorship. That was not an improvement.
2. The U.S. won an overwhelming military victory with air and naval power and scarcely a boot on the ground. But it destroyed less of Iran’s missile- and drone-launching capabilities than at first appeared.
3. Then there was a hostage crisis. Iran took both the Gulfies and the Strait of Hormuz hostage. The result was a massive economic shock for the world that required a rapid resolution.
4. The choice was between 1) military escalation (boots on the ground or strikes on Iranian infrastructure), and 2) a diplomatic deal. Trump chose 2.
5. In Islamabad, the U.S proposed big economic concessions in return for some kind of change in the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, as well as the reopening of the strait. Contrary to the president’s social media feed, the Iranians did not accept.
6. In any case, the devil of any deal will be in the details, not the Truth headline. (When the small print finally comes out, every former Obama and Biden official will be ready to tell The New York Times that it’s worse than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.)
7. Meanwhile, the Iranians have survived regime change and discovered that closing the strait is just as powerful a lever in economic warfare as they had always hoped. It’s not, despite the Russian quip, an “economic nuke,” because unlike a nuclear weapon you can use it.
8. Where we go from here is fairly predictable. I would be surprised if Trump now deploys ground forces. There will be more negotiation, so Islamabad, here we come. There may have to be more bombing, if the Iranians dust down the North Vietnamese playbook of stringing the U.S. negotiators along. And the final compromise will take longer to be agreed upon than Mr. Market currently believes. The consensus in prediction markets is this will be over by the end of May, but remember: It took Henry Kissinger more than four months to get the 1973–1974 oil embargo lifted.

Tim Heidecker snitched on my husband to the Feds. While not entirely out of character for an unfunny socialist like Tim, he tried to backtrack and delete his original tweet where he ID’d Jay to the FBI, only after the media ran with it and fans were being critical. It doesn’t seem like he had any remorse though, as he went on to write an article on his Substack, justifying his rat behavior because Jay was once “mean” to him at a bar like 25 years ago when Tim was still a tag-a-long newbie in LA. Nevermind that they worked together multiple times over the years after that, little Timmy doesn’t forget!
