At last, Kuenstler has written a column that I can’t quibble with, complain about, or disagree with in even the smallest, most niggling way.
Our nation, under the leadership of “Joe Biden” (…iden…iden…iden…iden…), has deployed our mighty warships in the waters all around and amongst Israel’s adversaries. Hard to see how that couldn’t happen, our sacred duty and all. If called upon, they can probably do a lot of damage — though there is plenty of reason to believe that Iran has enough anti-ship cruise missiles to create a big problem for us. Heck, Iran has enough long range conventional guided missiles to turn Haifa and Tel Aviv into ashtrays. But then, five minutes later, the same would be true for Teheran and Damascus, only they’d be radioactive. And who knows what those swarms of moiling migrants in the US and Euroland might be inspired to do, when it comes to that?
Jihad is in the offing. Too many are itching to set it off. Now they’re just waiting for an excuse, a reason to ignite the fuses. The obvious excuse would be an Israeli military incursion into Gaza. That would git’er done, I’m sure. The Israelis must realize this. Despite prior expectations, though, and even given the thirst for vengeance, they might realize it’s unnecessary. They’ve done enough bombing in Gaza. They could neutralize the command network of Hamas pretty much the same way they got the Black September ringleaders of the Munich Olympics massacre, 1972 — a methodical hunt over years, decades. They don’t have to shout from the rooftops, either. Everyone will know.
There is the fate of the Gaza hostages to consider. It doesn’t look good. Given enough time, of course, they can be shuttled around geographically here, there, and everywhere and concealed for years. They have value. World opinion will turn on the hostage-takers, though you might argue that no longer matters. I rather expect that rescue operations are well-planned and some may be carried out. But, overall, many of these poor pawns are apt to be lost. Tragic is tragic.
If we manage to avoid World War Three, America has its own grave problem to consider, which is comprehensive collapse — of economic activity, the financial scaffold for it, and of civil order in a society under deadly stress. Most of this damage has been induced by our own political leaders. Now that the House of Representatives has been put in order, it’s time for that body to act expeditiously and relieve “Joe Biden” of his responsibilities…and then Ms. Harris…and then Messrs. Garland, Mayorkas, and Wray. Out with them, post haste, and begin the project to save our own country.
Seconded, wholeheartedly—every word of it, to the last detail. Well, except that nothing in the last two sentences—which demonstrate that poor old James is still eager to succumb to the usual unfounded over-optimism about the likelihood of even one item on his devoutly-to-be-wished list coming to pass, desirable as they would doubtless be—has a ghost of a chance of happening. I say again: this is NOT America as we once knew it, not in any way, shape, or form. This is Amerika v2.0, and the sooner we can all get our heads around that dismaying home truth, the sooner something useful might actually be done about it.
“They’ve done enough bombing in Gaza.”
Is there anything left but rubble?
No, then they haven’t done enough bombing in Gaza.
Notice how so many that want to stop Israel from defending herself conjure up the specter of WWIII. Putin himself is mighty proud of them.
No, Iran is not going to start WWIII nor is Turkey, nor is China, nor is Russia. WWIII is a different kettle of fish than a regional conflict. It will be a nuclear war, and the mullahs in Iran, Erdogan in Turkey, Xi, and Putin all wish to survive. They talk, because foolish people believe them and demand free reign for the killers of children, the rapists, the torturers, all middle eastern barbarians.
I pretty much stopped reading Kuenstler simply because he is wrong all the time. Israel stopping now just guarantee’s another atrocity, more children slaughtered, more women raped then mutilated, entire family’s tortured in front of each other, parents forced to watch the horrific slaughter and mutilation of their children.
I still cannot understand why these people can get rid of “Joe Biden”.
First off, the scare quotes indicate a certain awareness that Biteme the Potato Head is not running anything. Getting rid of him doesn’t change who’s running things. That’s the first obvious cognitive dissonance.
Second, if the House Impeaches there is almost no way the Senate votes to cknvict and remove. What is the threshold needed? 60? 67? We may not get even all the ‘Republicans’ to vote to convict. Cognitive Dissonance Strike Two. Although they should Impeach just to force the issues out in the open as much as possible.
Funding? Will the House take a hard stance on defunding much of the most egregious parts of Leviathan and be willing to Shut Down The Government?
The pitcher has taken the signs and gets set. He’ll be in the windup soon and then the pitch will be on its way. What will he throw? Will the GOP whiff at it? Will they single up the middle? Will they send it out of the park? Will they ground into a triple play?
The stage is set. Is it Casey at the Bat or Kirk Gibson.
2/3 or 67. Impossible as you state. It should still be done. While that’s going on maybe they will not screw something else up.
The house shutting down the government? Republicans? LOL
