Righteousness2:
Following this morning's Hezbollah rocket attacks, the IDF launched a new wave of strikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon.

Fighter jets hit dozens of rocket launchers and buildings used by the terror group.


The IDF has pledged to intensify its strikes to "dismantle and degrade" Hezbollah’s operational capabilities.
A rocket launcher costs a few thousand dollars. A rocket costs a few hundred dollars.
IDF uses a $40000 iron done missiles to take out a single rocket.
IDF uses precision guided bombs worth tens of thousands of $$$ to take out a rocket launcher.

IDF should also rain rockets , bombs and artillery indiscriminately at it's enemies. Why should you be forced to follow international law , while your enemies do not? Russia is known for extensive shelling of it's enemies to soften them before their ground troops arrive. Their enemies know this,, so they evacuate their civilians in wars with Russia. Hamas knows IDF will be condemned if a single civilian dies. They embed themselves within the population and in mosques knowing an IDF strike at their positions will be called a war crime by the west. If IDF was raining 1000 rockets for every single one fired at them, there would be no hesbollah or Hamas firing rockets at Israel. When IDF brings down a residential building where terrorists we're having a meeting, media most bold headline is number of women and children killed, a byline in italics down the page then reveals that top terrorists were the actual targets. Then we also have proportionate response bullshit rattled of by western smug elites who have never been to a warzone.

Righteousness2:
This is the moment a Hezbollah rocket hit a house in Kiryat Bialik, in northern Israel, this morning.


This indiscriminate rocket fire is a clear war crime that must be unequivocally condemned.
"Palestinians are people under occupation and they have a right to resist. Hesbollah support Palestinians, so they have a right to fire missiles and rockets into Israel.
Israel is an occupying power and has no right to defend itself. When it does it has to abide by international law. Palestinians and Hesbolla are not a state party , the ICC has no jurisdiction over them."

Those arguments are what motivates Palestinians and their friends to wage perpetual war on Israel. The Western elites know the actual reason, antisemitism, but pretend that giving the Palestinians a state will solve the problem. The west needs a leader lihe Gert Wilders who can publicly say that The existence of Israel is a stain on Islam. A two state solution will never bring peace, it's the first step to legally entrench the resistance. Biden badly wants a ceasefire to add to his resume.

Some Trump supporters were already camping out Tuesday night to get in, with the parking lot opening at 8 a.m. Wednesday for in-person attendees.
Around 60,000 people requested tickets to attend the event, but only around 16,000 seats were available.

You must be the only one surprised with this. There was Covid in 2020 and a lot of people chose to vote by mail. Things are normal now so you expect much less mail in ballots just as the numbers dropped in mid term elections of 2022.

You think this bill will pass in Illinois.

HB 5875 reads: “Amends the Election Code. Provides that, except as otherwise provided by federal law, any person who is not a citizen of the United States and who knowingly registers to vote or knowingly votes in an election, including a municipal election, shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony.

This is my point about you. You post shit and have no idea what you are posting. And it always makes you look stupid.

This was a rehash of an older study.
Here is a headline from Psychological Today of the old study.


So the study found.
1.) Conservative were fearful
2.) The liberals had more gray matter in the 'anterior cingulate cortex' or acc . This area is responsible for coping with complexity, error detection, decision making, etc etc. So liberals' brains were better in all those areas.

So, yes, I am a good example of a mind that can deal with complexity, error detection and decision making. While you are a good example of a conservative mind. Fearful of a land you've never been without the brain matter to deal with the complexity of life or the grain matter to deal with error detection so you are constantly fooled into believing lies because you are always fearful.


How many times must I say you're not altogether up there and how many times must you prove it.
What a monumental idiot.

Conservatives and liberals have different brain structures — here’s how
By Tracy Swartz
Published Sep. 19, 2024, 11:00 a.m. ET
Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared with liberals.
“A slightly larger amygdala simply highlights a brain’s increased sensitivity to issues related
to [the] need for security, reduction of uncertainty and threat, or perhaps more careful processing of negative stimuli,” study author Diamantis Petropoulos .


Can't think of a better example than you.

Act Blue. House committee requests 5: state AGs to investigate Act Blue after finding out there are lots of illegal donations.

The powerful chairman of the House
committee that oversees election integrity is asking five states to open investigations into “potential criminal activity” in the routing of hundreds of millions of dollars in political donations to Kamala Harris and other Democrats through the fundraising platform known as ActBlue.
House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., made five referrals on Wednesday evening to Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, saying a massive computer analysis conducted by his committee uncovered a suspicious pattern of donations from individuals with net worths too small to donate what has been credited to them via ActBlue reports to the Federal Election Commission.
The FBI knows about this but will not investigate democrat money laundering schemes.

Budaatum. Oxford research finds Hydroxychloroquin is helpful on COVID.

https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004428

What did the researchers do and find?
The COPCOV study was a double-blind placebo-controlled evaluation of CQ and HCQ COVID-19 chemoprevention. It was the largest pre-exposure prophylaxis study in COVID-19.
We found that CQ and HCQ were well tolerated and safe in prophylaxis. There was some evidence for protection against symptomatic COVID-19, and a reduction in workdays lost to illness.
Our updated meta-analysis of all chemoprevention studies in COVID-19 confirms that chemoprophylaxis with CQ or HCQ is well tolerated, safe, and provides a moderate beneficial effect in preventing COVID-19.
What do these findings mean?
Although CQ or HCQ are unlikely to be used in COVID-19 prevention at this stage, they could have been deployed with benefit earlier, and they might have value in future pandemics.
Randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence is essential in evaluating therapeutics in the context of a pandemic.
Trials should be facilitated and protected so that evidence is generated rapidly and evidence-based policies can be implemented without delay to allow timely interventions.

Ijebos,
Democrats don't want illegals who commit sexual offences deported.
They want their victims to also get abortion at any point of the pregnancy. Dems are just weird perverts.
Now that's what I call critical thinking.

September 18,2024
More than 150 House Democrats voted against a bill that would deport illegal immigrants convicted of a sexual offense or conspiracy to commit such a crime.

The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act passed the House of Representatives along bipartisan lines on Wednesday. All present Republicans voted for the bill, as did 51 Democratic lawmakers. The measure passed 266 to 158.

Among the Democrats who voted for the bill are Reps. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska; Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez, D-Wash.; Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.; and Hillary Scholten, D-Mich.

Two of the Democrats who voted for it are seeking higher office — Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is running for Senate, and Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., is running for governor.

In addition to deporting migrants convicted of sex crimes, the legislation would also deem illegal immigrants who admit to domestic violence or sex-related charges — or are convicted of them — to be inadmissible in the U.S.

Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford of Nevada introduced a Trump proposal on Tuesday, looking to eliminate federal taxes on tips.

“Today, I am proud to be introducing a bill because a disproportionate number of the 6 million tipped workers who are women and people of color make as little as $2.13 cents an hour, which really is poverty wages, at a time when families and workers are trying to afford the cost of living,” Horsford said as he announced the legislation.

Israel went into legit pager manufacture business anticipating an order from it's enemies.



HotAir
Pagercide, Inc: How Israel Defenestrated Hezbollah
ED MORRISSEY 12:00 PM | September 19, 2024


AP Photo/Bassam Masri
Did Israel intercept pagers bought by Hezbollah? Did they hack into them remotely, using their technological supremacy?

Nope. Turns out that Israel went into the pager business -- anticipating Hezbollah's change in comms strategy by perhaps as much as two years.

The New York Times offers an overview of the operation that took thousands of Hezbollah operatives out of commission and rendered their communications entirely kaput. Rather than tamper with pagers manufactured by others, the Israelis decided to create cut-rate pagers to lure Hezbollah into a sale, and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

It's a tale of creative genius, and of strategic idiocy:

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers.

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.

The pagers began shipping to Lebanon in the summer of 2022 in small numbers, but production was quickly ramped up after Mr. Nasrallah denounced cellphones.

There's something about polls and i've always had my distaste about them, is that they only poll a few hundred people, and we don't know their political leanings etc. In as much i can view some polls as "public sentiment" we also have to factor in the public education about the economy.

We are in a good place now than in 2018-2020 when the rapist felon trump left us with minus 3 million job losses and the worst depression since 1929!

The sad thing is that you bald headed maga cultist is not on ground here to feel the real vibe about the inflation drop, large grocery chains bringing down cost, and price of gas going down.

WE ARE IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE you anti-american maga douchebag.
See what Richard Quest of CNN says about the economy.

Host Julia Chatterley played video of Trump saying, [relevant portion begins around 21:00] “I guess it shows the economy is very bad to cut it by that much. Assuming they’re not just playing politics, the economy would be very bad, or they’re playing politics, one or the other. But it was a big cut.”


Quest responded, “Donald Trump is sort of right, in a sense. It’s — there’s no — it’s either playing politics or you’ve cut by half a point because things are worse, marginally, than you thought they were going to be, things are worse and you need to stimulate. And that, I think, is an inescapable position. Jay Powell is sitting uncomfortably, as he sort of says, well, we’ve waited a long time, but we’ve done a half a point because we think we can do it and — it’s not a crisis, … it’s not a panic, what it is is an aggressive move.”

Chatterley then said, “[W]e are more concerned than we were three months ago, even if growth is still at 2%, if inflation is contained. Now, they’re going to go all guns blazing to try and prevent the unemployment rate from rising too much further. Looks like a soft landing to me if they can do it.”


Quest responded, “If they can do it, because what he’s leaning into is the snowball going down the hill. … So, either the snowball is running down the hill and needs to be slowed down, or the cake is baking in the oven and needs to be taken out. Whichever one you like the look of, that’s what this half-a-percentage point is designed to do, plus, two more. He admitted, Jay Powell, today, that, if they’d had the numbers on employment earlier, they could have gone in July, could have, should have, would have. At the end of the day, I don’t think it’s a crisis, it’s just a sort of make haste.”


Quest further stated that the cut won’t have any impact on the economy before the election.
