OH, SURE. THAT’S WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW: Army Strongly Considering 10-20% Cut To Special Ops Forces.
The recruitment problem has a name. It’s called “would you want to serve under these clowns?”

THIS IS UNFAIR. THE PRESSTITUTES HAVE DONE THEIR BEST PLUS SOME: Biden blames the press for his underwater economic polling.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MASS-IMPORT DYSFUNCTIONAL CULTURES: NYC felony assaults against women have soared more than 40% over four years: NYPD data.
THEY HAVE IMMIGRATION DEBT TO WORK OFF: Unaccompanied migrant kids seen selling candy in NYC subways: ‘Shameful, disgusting, blatant child abuse’.
THIS IS WHO THEY ARE, THIS IS WHAT THEY DO: Sickening video shows ‘disgusting’ Hamas terrorists parading naked, battered woman through streets.
HAMAS AND THEIR SYCOPHANTS ARE VILE BARBARIANS: So Much For “Peace”.
IT’S TIME TO REVERSE JIMMY CARTER’S WORST MISTAKE: Doing Iran’s Bidding.
THERE’S NO MUCH WE CAN DO, BUT: Something Important.
WHAT DOES SIX BILLION BUY? Hamas is attempting to overoad the iron dome missle defense system with hundreds of concurrent rounds.
AS ALWAYS: Only Israel.
DOUBT IT? DON’T: My last political thing for today: this was the first official USG comment on the massive Hamas attack.
The Bidenmites are as vile and despicable as the people to whom they gave six billion dollars. There are piles of feces on the Earth who outrank them in decency and human worth.

IT’S REALLY LOOKING LIKE TIME TO ABOLISH THE FBI: New witnesses in the FBI Civil War gold heist emerge. “Given all we’ve learned about the FBI in the past few years, they have used up any benefit of the doubt that I might have previously given them. I still firmly believe that they found six tons of gold, they stole it, and now they’re trying to cover it up. But if so, where did the gold go?”
Normally you’d expect these kinds of shenanigans in a banana republic, but then again, that’s what we’ve become — with considerable assistance from the FBI.
IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT WEREN’T TRUE:

IF YOU READ ONE ARTICLE ON THE SITUATION IN ISRAEL, MAKE IT THIS ONE: Haviv Retig Gur: A wounded, weakened Israel is a fiercer one.
Two main points:
(1) “Here lies a part of Palestinian thinking and discourse that many of Palestine’s Western defenders ignore, both because it’s a hard sell to Western audiences and because they don’t really understand it themselves. Palestinian ‘resistance,’ as conceived by Hamas, is about much more than settlements, occupation or the Green Line. A larger theory of Islamic renewal is at work…. This reclamation of Islamic dignity through the ultimate defeat of the Jews occupies a great deal of Hamas’s political thought, permeates its rhetoric and profoundly shapes its thinking about Israeli Jews and its strategy in facing Israel. Israel is more than a mere occupier or oppressor in this narrative, it is a rebellion against God and the divinely-ordained trajectory of history. And by showing Israelis in their weakness, the thinking goes, Israelis are somehow actually made weak. Redemption requires only the faith of its believers to be fulfilled, and seeing is believing.”
(2) “The Israel that emerged from Hamas’s “Al-Aqsa Deluge” operation was different from the one that went into it. A tectonic shift had occurred in the country’s psyche. The horrors inflicted by Hamas sparked rage and an intense feeling of vulnerability. Where Hamas had always seemed an implacable but ultimately containable enemy, it had now proven it could bring the danger into Israeli homes, could slaughter children and kidnap grandmothers while all the vaunted power of the Israel Defense Forces was helpless to stop it…. A wounded, weakened Israel is a fiercer Israel. Hamas was once a tolerable threat. It just made itself an intolerable one, all while convincing Israelis they are too vulnerable and weak to respond with the old restraint.”
Read the whole thing.
OPEN THREAD: There’ll never be another one exactly like this one.
OH, THERE’S A SURPRISE: White House Comms Shop Fumbles Israeli Attacks Statement. “Iran, as we all know, funds Hamas. President Biden released SIX BILLION DOLLARS to Iran three weeks ago. The older I get, the harder it is for me to believe in coincidences.”

GIVE ‘EM THE GENERAL SHERMAN TREATMENT: “The Palestinians who invaded Israel have focused on kidnapping civilians, mostly young women. This was facilitated by the fact that there was a ‘rave for peace’ going on near Gaza that many young people attended. The Palestinians no doubt knew this, and planned to attack the event. They took a number of young women captive there. This video has been seen millions of times. There is a naked young woman in the back of a truck, murdered (and God knows what else) by the Palestinians. The Arabs in the truck are yelling ‘Allahu Akbar!’ ‘God is great!’ Terrific religion they’ve got there. What is notable, I think, is the jubilant reaction of the crowd. Note the boy who spits on the woman’s corpse. The idea that what is happening is a ‘terrorist attack’ by “Hamas” is a fiction. Hamas is a political entity that rules Gaza with the support of the overwhelming majority of the Palestinians who live there. It is much like Nazi Germany–most Germans were not members of the party, but the vast majority supported Hitler until it was clear that Germany was losing the war. Same thing here, except that until now, it hasn’t been clear that Hamas was losing. Hamas appears to command the loyalty of nearly all of Gaza’s residents.”
In other circumstances I would think this was just an effort to provoke, but in this case it’s just Palestinians being Palestinians. They don’t do this sort of thing because it’s in their interest, they do it because it’s in their nature. They’ll stop when it becomes too painful to continue, and not before.
And maybe that whole “rave for peace” idea wasn’t so good, and shouldn’t be repeated. Peace comes when a war ends, and wars usually end when one side loses decisively. That should be the Palestinians.
GOOD, BUT A BIT SURPRISING: Germany lights up Brandenburg Gate in Israeli colors and flag.
UPDATE: Ah, this may have something to do with it:
The woman whose body was seen on video in the back of a truck driven by Palestinian terrorists to Gaza has been identified.

FLASHBACK: High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington.
The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.
More:
The contents of the emails are damning, showing a group of Iranian American academics being recruited by the Iranian regime, meeting together in foreign countries to receive instructions from top regime officials, and pledging their personal loyalty to the regime. They also show how these operatives used their Iranian heritage and Western academic positions to influence U.S. policy toward Iran, first as outside “experts” and then from high-level U.S. government posts. Both inside and outside of government, the efforts of members of this circle were repeatedly supported and advanced by Malley, who served as the U.S. government’s chief interlocutor with Iran under both the Obama and the Biden administrations.
Whatever intel Iran was able to gain aside, the irony is that Tehran hardly needed to engage in any subterfuge to gain more favorable treatment from either Obama or Biden.
But do read the whole thing for all the damning details.
