It’s up to us

Donald Trump said Hezbollah was “very smart.”

Lindsey Graham called for war crimes and religious war. He is a fool, a clown and profoundly ignorant. He always has been. He is intellectually light. In fact, light as a feather, and he doesn’t know a lot about the world. He is glib and used to be humorous, but has always been a lightweight. One of the great markers of corruption in the American media is the constant booking of Lindsey Graham as some type of serious and competent statesman on the cable news circuit. He’s a gadfly who couldn’t survive a debate for three minutes with someone who knows what they are talking about. Lindsey has an open invitation on The Warning to come and visit. He won’t. He lacks the toughness, the grit, knowledge and smarts. Yet, you will get to see him spewing nonsense on television.

Jake Tapper over at CNN actually asked this question more than once. Let’s watch some ‘grief-exploitation,’ courtesy of CNN:

Here is a photograph of Waffen SS “fighters” executing unarmed Jews in Latvia:

Too bad none of their relatives were available for global broadcast in the moment so they couldn’t talk to Reichsführer Himmler or Reinhard Heydrich.

Here is a moment of moral clarity concerning the “fighters” and “militants” who killed babies, decapitated civilians and murdered Holocaust survivors:

There is an important question that is being asked across the world and particularly in Israel. How did this happen?

The answer is very simple and I’m going to share it with you here. What you are about to read is the last and most significant warning the United States is going to receive about the horror that will manifest itself on a clear blue day, one day, someday soon.

I thought about my recent appearance on the MAGA/conspiracy podcast PBD, where I encountered the certifiable Vinny:

What happened in Israel is people like Vinny achieved political power, and they failed to protect the nation because they were busy enriching themselves and securing power to use for their self-interest. The result is children burned alive and babies decapitated. It will absolutely happen here when America’s enemies look at the societal decay and miscalculate. It is the cost of Trump who is ahead in the 2024 election.

I encourage you to read New York’s Jonathan Chait’s article entitled “Do Democrats Understand How Bad the Election is Looking?” and Politico’s Jonathan Martin story entitled “Biden Won’t Directly Address the Age Issue.” Both talk about the blindness to danger.

Two recent polls from must-win states, Michigan and Pennsylvania, are deeply concerning. In Michigan, a Market Research Group poll found that Trump leads Biden 42 percent to 35 percent, with 23 percent either voting for an independent or third-party candidate, or are undecided. In Pennsylvania, a new Emerson College poll found Trump leads Biden 45 percent to 36 percent among Pennsylvania voters. Eleven percent said they plan to vote for someone besides the two front-runners. Another eight percent are undecided.

It is important to note that the Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan remains very popular, and Democratic Senator Casey remains far ahead in Pennsylvania. The numbers indicate a Biden issue, not a Democratic Party issue. It’s okay though — the most important thing here is the president’s ego and making sure no conversation ever occurs that touches on the actual sentiments in the country lest it help Donald Trump. Shhhhh!!!!!!

What is wrong with Nancy Mace? Here she is wearing a Scarlet A t-shirt to a meeting of the dysfunctional, childish, extremist MAGA hive that convenes officially as the House Republican conference:

“Look at me. Look at me. Look at me.”

It’s important to note that she is the exact same person as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. In fairness though, she seems to dwell on My Kevin — under whom she once served in a variety of positions — much more than Jewish space lasers, and in a head-to-head competition with Lauren Boebert, seems to be slightly more likely to make it through a play without vaping or grabbing her first date’s junk…but truthfully, who knows? Here is the pride of the Citadel, who always does the right thing, according to her, at a prayer breakfast a few months ago:

When people like Donald Trump, Bibi Netanyahu, Lindsey Graham, Nancy Mace, Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump get power, death follows. These are life and death jobs, and now horror has come to Israel.

What is the solution? As is the case in all free societies, the salvation for incompetent, crooked and selfish leaders is always found within the people. It is found in the story of two tough grandfathers, General Ziv, and the father of The Atlantic’s Yair Rosenberg. Please read these accounts. It’s how we get out of the mess in America.

There is a word not heard enough in America and it is time for it to be heard again from coast to coast. Enough.
