Bruce Pearl slams anti-Israel college protesters going silent on Iran | Fox News foxnews.com/media/legendar…

We Had a Chance to End the Conflict and We Chose to Burn It. In 2005, something historic happened. Israel withdrew completely from Gaza - not just its soldiers, but also all of its civilians, farms, and settlements. Thousands of Israeli families were uprooted from their homes by their own government. Synagogues were dismantled, greenhouses and infrastructure worth hundreds of millions of dollars were left behind - not destroyed, but handed over to give us a chance to start fresh. For the first time in our history, we had full control over a piece of land - our own borders, our own cities, our own people, and access to the sea. The world was ready to help. Billions in aid and investment were promised. It could have been the beginning of a Palestinian Singapore. But instead of building schools, hospitals, and industries, we built tunnels, rockets, and militias. Instead of creating hope, we chose hatred. Instead of turning Gaza into proof that Palestinians can govern themselves, we turned it into proof that we cannot. When Israel left, the world expected calm, peace, and progress. What did we give them? Civil war between Fatah and Hamas. Executions in the streets. A terror group seizing power and turning Gaza into a launching pad for endless wars. And the world still asks: Why doesn’t Israel “just give up the West Bank” too? Because they already saw what happened the last time they gave land for nothing in return. The truth is painful, but it must be said: We were given a chance to build a future and we used it to destroy our own. We could have shown that we were ready for peace. Instead, we showed that we were ruled by those who fear peace more than they fear death. Every rocket fired from Gaza wasn’t just aimed at Israel - it was aimed at our own future. And now, after all the destruction, poverty, and death, I keep asking myself: What if, just once, we had chosen life instead of revenge? We had the opportunity to end the conflict. But our leaders and too many of us chose to keep it alive.

I fear their singular focus on gaining and maintaining partisan power will lead the nation to its ruin. detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…

Okay even I think this is mean

Today is a National Holiday! Happy 2000 days, everyone! Remember to drive responsibly.

An incomplete list of everything this dumb motherfucker has caused because of 07/10: - The collapse of Hamas - The ruination of Gaza - The crippling of Hezbollah - The destruction of Beirut and South Lebanon - The Israeli anti-war Left with zero power or influence, and a revitalised right wing - Renewed efforts by Israeli Jews to settle Gaza - The final nail in the coffin for a two state solution - The assassination of Haniyeh - The assassination of Nasrallah - The assassination of Deif - The assassination of EVERY HEZBOLLAH LEADER - The killing of Sinwar himself - The weakening of Khamenei's Axis - The collapse of the the Syrian regime with its supply routes to Hezbollah - The rise of Israel as a regional superpower with two fewer fronts to worry about - The rise of Bibi Netanyahu as a leader of action, as opposed to a hesitant man who prefers the status quo pre-07/10 - The destruction of the regime in Iran's image as a powerful actor with powerful proxies 07/10 was supposed to be the beginning of the end for Israel. Instead it marked the beginning of the end for every terrorist group and regime under Khamenei's influence.

Easter messages from the two major presidential candidates.

SHOWTIME FOR THE WIN!!! 🎬🍿

Donald Trump was the first president in 28 years to not serve a second term, the first to lose the Presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term, the first president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice, the first ever to fail to hit a 50% approval rating at any point during their presidency, the first to be impeached twice, to be banned from social media and the first to have their home searched for official national security documents, or anything else for that matter, the first serving or former president to be found liable of sexual abuse, business fraud and defamation, the first, second, third and fourth serving or former president to be criminally indicted and the first ever with a mugshot. The “red wave” never came in 2022, last November’s elections were a tsunami of blue, and since the overturning of Roe Vs Wade, Republicans have lost 8 out of 8 state ballot measure battles on the issue of abortion. All of this, as they’ve removed their own Speaker, expelled their own member, whittled their already razor-thin House majority down to essentially nothing, maintain a minority in the Senate, and have had signed into law, the fewest bills since the Great Depression. Oh yeah, and they’re tethered to a quadruply indicted business fraud sexual abuser who faces multiple fairly imminent criminal convictions. They’ve done nothing about inflation or the prices of eggs, gas or milk, and they’re flat out refusing to do a damn thing about the border, yet they continue to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on sham d*ck pic hearings and phony impeachments. When you put all of that together, it really is shocking that no one with a single firing synapse wants to see any of them in power, isn’t it?

Illegal touching. The Calvin rule. Picked up PI. The batted ball. Golden runoff. The phantom facemask. Two phantom hands-to-the-face. The Jim Schwartz challenge. Know what’d be cool? If Sheila Ford stood up for her franchise and publicly shamed Roger Goodell for these disgraces.
