One shouldn’t presume to know how they swing just because they are willing to fight.

If they can pass muster with all the training told of in the article, they deserve all the support they can get.

However, I am disturbed that Israel has this obsession with Iron. Iron Dome. Iron Swords. ‘Arad’ doesn’t sound too strong either if it dates from Biblical times before they knew about Platinum or Uranium or even the process of making Steel.

Does Netanyahu coat everything with rust like Trump coats everything with Gold spray paint?

Using Iron is just not a good look for exemplars of modernity standing against superstitious savages.

“לעשות טוב יותר” (la’asot tov yoter). (That’s “Do better!” for the Goyim and Un-Orthodox.)

Enco,

My Lezbrews reference was to the idea i had to counter the propaganda against Israel with a story about mythical Lezbrews of yore. Nothing to do with sexual orientation of those women.

Iron, iron that, iron giant, irony…

House candidate Maureen Galindo pledges to send ‘American zionists’ to internment camp
Despite a growing storm of criticism, including from members of her own party, the San Antonio Democrat insists she’s not antisemitic.

She is a reflection of the electorate.

Zionism is the code word for Filthy Jew and its associations.

I remember the first time i argued with a gal about zionism. I was gobsmacked at her antipathy. None of the rational things i raised seemed to make a dent. A welcoming to progressivism…

I don’t know how much she reflects the sentiments of her electorate. I may be wrong, but except for Austin, Texas never looked conspicuously Progressive.

Also, Galindo is running in a newly Re-Gerrymandered, Re-Jury-Rigged, District. She claims that the “Zionists Billionaires” back her opponent Johnny Garcia.

Moreover, there is talk of a Republican group WinRed funding a Florida PAC called LeadLeft that distributed flyers and mailers supporting Galindo to make the Republican opposition look sane.

Here’s another story with all the details, where Galindo sports the Skeletor look shared by Jennifer Welch, Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Laura Loomer:

Since the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are ignored nowadays, there needs to be a clause added to the Fifteenth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-Sixth Amendements:

“The right to vote shall not be construed as a right to vote away the rights of any other individual in the United States or Territories or Protectorates. Any Elections, Initiatives, or Referenda called for such a purpose will be considered null and void.”

With this clause, Progressivism, as well as the Religious Right, would be rendered politically toothless.

Enco,

I meant broadly speaking a reflection of the electorate and more to the point of the zeitgeist. Reg had a good article on the flowering of Jew hatred and differences between far right and far left in contemporary world. Far left and far right come at it a little differently.

A great article, though I wouldn’t call it flowering. More like metastisizing.

In terms of overall Zeitgeist this would be correct nowadays. And if Galino didn’t win votes with “Zionist Colonial-Settler” talk, she could just switch to old-fashioned “Christ-Killer Usury-Charger” talk without much trouble editing.

Of course, if someone asked her to use her Astrological Woo to accurately prognosticate the results of the Election, it might help knock down her credibility a few pegs.

[jakelafort]

Well said Enco.

How rare is intelligence? I mean general intelligence. The ideological capture of so many academics, the presidents of universities, the students. The underlying narratives are so weak and transparent.

I grew up wtihout giving respect to a thinker until i thought it was earned. I think that was due to having a father who is heads and shoulders above others. And it was not the ridiculous IQ or any of his accolades or academic achievements. It was his acuity. Anything illogical and he recognized it immediately. Saw him dismantle so many putative intellectuals.

I want to know whether humans can be taught to think critically. Or will group-think overcome that potential? As things stand no depth of moral depravity is too deep to justify or engage. No ideology too improbable, illogical, mythical to set the hook with a good barb and tight lines. That fish aint going nowheres.

[TheEncogitationer]

Jake and Fellow Unbelievers:

A object lesson in the rarety of intelligence and critical thinking. I wish this wasn’t true but it appears it is:

Trump and Netanyahu and minion followers are literally the gang that can’t shoot straight or even aim correct. I do not think that “regime change” means what they think it means.

So we’re paying up to $6 or more a gallon for gas… so that Trump and Netanyahu could install a Hitler with a 5 O’Clock Shadow to head the Persian people… and perhaps later fulfil a death wish to wipe the U.S.A. and Israel and the whole Dar Al-Harb off the Planet…with the Uranium and guided missiles still in place!

Somebody make it stop!

[jakelafort]

I did see that some other place. If you take it at face value it is a head-scratcher. I don’t. Not sure what the full plan was. Netty has been warning about theocratic Islam’ designs on kingdom coming for a long time. And he is no dolt.

[Reg the Fronkey Farmer]

One has to have a plan in order to know when the objectives are reached.

[jakelafort]

Trump talks out of his ass most of the time. And then they play the game of taking him at his word as though he were a serious human being giving honest assessments. So some military leader is the fall guy.

[jakelafort]

Oh and i should say the plan was always regime change. There is no long term security until the religious kingdom comers are out of there. Their treaties are useless. There is an islamic doctrine that makes it kosher. Their military capability compromised for time being but their objectives intact.

Trump and especially Netty are well aware. Why wouldn’t they come out and announce it? I can only guess. Did not want to alienate or provoke nations allied with Islamic Republic? Wanted it to be organic and that is why Trump said the cavalry is coming so go ahead and go nuts citizens of that nation? Did not want to announce it in case it did not come to be?

[Reg the Fronkey Farmer]

The war with Iran is the next stage of Israel’s post–October 7 strategy. They have dealt with the immediate perpetrators and neighboring proxy fronts . But chopping off their head is not enough. Now they are dealing the Iranian state infrastructure that supports, arms, funds and coordinates much of the wider terror network. ‘Netty’ said that Hamas would pay with its very existence so the regime has to go or it will keep funding it.

[TheEncogitationer]

Jake and Reg:

I hope the NYT story is just an AI hallucination, but knowing Trump’s delusional behavior especially in his second term, and how so called “Realpolitik” make people do strange things, I can’t help but wonder.
