"I can only hope that it's only some type of negotiating tool"

It is.

Said it before, I'll say it again: he's basically telling the jews and Arabs "get your shit together, or Big Bad Uncle Sam is going to barge in."

Trump is all about asking for way more than he expects to get, in order to achieve desired outcomes. Brilliant.

The Golden Pager. Bibi can call him anytime he starts to get out of line.

How many Americans will die trying to remove the ferocious Palis from Gaza?

Now it's being said that the golden pager contains a listening device. Trump was also gifted a regular pager, btw.

I can tell you they run bug trackers through all the spaces in the whitehouse.

All of them.

But who watches the Watchers? Who are they loyal to? America or Israel? Do you even recognize a difference?

Now as to that question one would hope they are loyal to the US of course.

In this current time if they voted democrat ever, I would suspect them of all sorts of bad shit.

Interesting take, Astera. I think there is some logic in what you are saying.

You are right. In Adm. #1, he tried to assist them in тАЬgetting their shit togetherтАЭ with the Abraham accords. It almost worked, even with Biden. The accords were going to be signed and Oct. 7 happened, the response by Iran to stop the process of pacification of the ME. Iran stands for one thing, the Mullahs anyway, and that is violence and war. Bibi , IMO, gave up too soon, again caving to world opinion and the USA to NOT wipe out Hamas. Ceasefires have been a joke for 70 years, just another pause to allow Iran to re-arm Hamas and Hezbollah. I hope that Israel closed down those southern tunnels to prevent the transportation of weaponry into Gaza.

In the meantime, here are all the Dems pushing to just let things go as they have. It fits the mold, expecting different results over and over. Insanity!

Just like socialism, the perennial failure.

HavenтАЩt you figured out that Lugh, Jarek is a devilтАЩs advocate, he will counter anything that is American in nature and what is the current drift of the blog. He has been that way longer than I have been on the blog which is quite awhile. He is an equal opportunity hater.

Indeed, which is why he has been booted a half a dozen times.

Remember the song from Harold and Maude?

If you want to be me be me

If you want to be you be you

There's a million things to be

You know that there are.

What makes you, you? If I bought an Italian restaurant named Luigi's, kept the name and the wait staff, but served Chinese food, would it still be an Italian restaurant? What if you were the cook, cooking the Chinese food?
