“Tell Your Bosses In Qatar!” "I agree that the worldwide protests are anti Jew. There have been no protests about the many other conflicts as Douglas mentions. Where were the self righteous flocking to the streets in support of Ukraine. Not weekly, not monthly, not even once. No cause seems worthwhile to protestors unless it is in opposition to Jews or Israel. I am not a Jew but I believe they have a right to exist, a right to a homeland and a right to be free from persecution." Comment to this video.

Like tanks? 3 things the M4 Sherman did BETTER than other tanks
"Everyone forgets one big issue. The Sherman had to fight all over the world and the American logistics system couldn't transport a bigger and heavier tank. The Germans could build a tank and then put it on one rail car and have it at the front in less than two days. The Sherman got put on a rail car, had to be lifted into a boat, taken off the boat, put on a rail car, put in another boat and then put on another rail car."
Electronick7714 posted: . . ."Last point, people forget the Sherman had to be shipped across the ocean. It's why America decided to not go with the M6/T1E1 heavy tank. It was too much of a headache for the logistics and shipping to deal with for not much game. Why ship this big complicated heavy tank when you can ship 2 or 3 Shermans, or, a Sherman and a tank destroyer/s that can carry the same 76 gun? There's no Chrysler, Ford, etc factories over the ocean, so these tanks had to be interchangeable with each other, work well, and be reliable. And that's exactly what they did. The fact it had nicer features like a secondary motor for the turret/electrical systems, more room, better ergonomics, etc was an added bonus, especially to some of the Soviet troops. (Loza fought in t-34s, Matilda, and Sherman's and he gave high praise to the latter).
"Not saying that the Sherman is perfect or any tank is perfect for that matter. They all have pros and cons that are affected by a multitude of factors. Some issues with these tanks were fixed or made better with solutions brought on from battlefield experience. Other issues came about as a result of logistics or improper usage of said tanks. It's all incredibly complicated and there's tons of factors that go into what makes a tank effective or not, but for me, I've come to greatly love the Sherman tank and it would definitely be my first choice to be in compared with other tanks of that period." . . .

Before She Won SAG Honor, Jane Fonda Honored Jim Jones
So many African Americans and senior citizens — who disproportionately constituted the ranks of Peoples Temple — might have lived had she used her celebrity on their behalf instead of on behalf of their captor.
"Make no mistake: empathy is not weak or woke,” Jane Fonda explained upon accepting a Lifetime Achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild this weekend. “And, by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.”
The 87-year-old actress told fellow members of her guild, “Community means power.”
"She learned this, or did not, the hard way half a lifetime ago.
"In 1977, after attending service at Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple in San Francisco, Fonda wrote the cult leader, “How deeply moved I was by the experience that Sunday — the atmosphere, the obvious need you have so remarkably filled in thousands of lives, how humanly, passionately, and articulately you have redefined the role of the Church, Christ, religion — I also recommit myself to your congregation as an active full participant — not only for myself, but because I want my two children to have the experience.”
"She assured Jones that “when we get back we will return to the Temple” after filming wrapped on her next movie.
"Jones cited “an Academy Award-winning actress joining our church” as one of his motivations for continuing his work.
"When reporters exposed misdeeds in the Temple, Fonda ran interference.
" 'We are familiar with the work of Reverend Jones and Peoples Temple,” Fonda, along with husband Tom Hayden, San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk, California assemblyman Willie Brown, and other left-wingers, wrote in a public statement in 1977, “and have no hesitancy in commending them for their example in setting a high standard of ethics and morality in the community and also for providing enormous material assistance to poor, minority and disadvantaged people in every area of human need.”
"And those “poor, minority and disadvantaged people” looked at the rich, often white, advantaged people supporting the Temple as a reason to stay in it and as evidence of Jim Jones’s power should they ever think about getting out of it.
"Jones eventually grew frustrated with Fonda and denounced her as a “sellout.” Fonda never, at least in public, returned the favor by expressing frustration with Jones and denouncing him during his life.
"I detailed the Bay Area left’s love affair with this mass murderer in . Fonda’s admirers act — and deserve awards for the acting — as though these inconvenient truths never occurred. But they did. And Fonda refuses to own up to this dark, horrific portion of her past." . . .
Hamas Official Has Regrets: Would Not Have Supported October 7 Had He Known Outcome
"It is not clear whether his statements were an effort to relieve pressure on Hamas, or whether he was truly taking a different line from the terror organization as a whole."
"A senior Hamas official told the New York Times last week that he would not have supported the October 7, 2023, terror attack against Israel if he had known the outcome — the destruction of Hamas and the devastation of Gaza.
"The Times reported Monday:
Mousa Abu Marzouk, the Qatar-based head of Hamas’s foreign relations office, said in an interview with The New York Times that he would not have supported the attack if he had known of the havoc it would wreak on Gaza. Knowing of the consequences, he said, would have made it “impossible” for him to back the assault.
Mr. Abu Marzouk said that Hamas’s survival in the war against Israel was itself a “kind of victory.” He also likened Hamas to an average person fighting Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion: if the untrained novice survived Mr. Tyson’s punches, people would say he was victorious, he said.
"In absolute terms, he said it would be “unacceptable” to claim Hamas won, especially considering the scale of what Israel inflicted on Gaza.
"The Times of Israel noted that Hamas was quick to disavow Abu Marzouk’s comments. Still, his candor suggests that the group understands that it has been defeated."
'F*****g Terrible': Donors Desert Disastrous Dems
"Kamala Harris lost for the same reason Kamala Harris dropped out of the Democrat primary in 2019. The more she talks, the more her incompetence gets exposed. Or does Capehart think that Harris was forced to drop out in 2019 because Democrats are racists and misogynists?"
"You mean electing David Hogg as Vice Chair didn't instill a sense of renewed confidence in Democrat Party donors? Changing the election rules in the middle of the event because DNC members hadn't elected a "non-binary" board member didn't convince them of the party's seriousness? Go figure.
"Democrats are now in the midst of losing another election -- because their donors have begun voting with their feet. Just as Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cutting off the NGO archipelago to their political allies, big-ticket donors are closing their wallets:
"Several Democrat donors said this week that they have paused their donations to the party because of how weak and ineffective it has become in the wake of President Donald Trump’s return to office.
“I’ll be blunt here: The Democratic Party is f***ing terrible. Plain and simple,” a major Democrat donor told The Hill. “In fact, it doesn’t get much worse.” ...A second donor told the publication that they were equally as turned off about the party.“They want us to spend money, and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking,” the donor said. “The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?”
"In fairness, they did win a couple of elections in between with the same tired playbook and ineffective strategies. Democrats won big in 2018 largely over the Russia-collusion hoax, and then won in 2020 in reaction to the pandemic chaos. But in neither case did they take any real lessons about the populist turn of the general electorate, nor have they since. . . .

Obama Judge Who Blocked Trump’s ICE Raids is Married to Far-Left Open Borders Activist Funded By George Soros
"The Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration's ICE raids is the husband of a far-left open borders activist.
"On Monday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed by left-wing activists seeking to prohibit ICE from conducting raids in churches where many illegal aliens hide from authorities.
" 'The substantial burden that the [Trump administration] policy is far from speculative and is already occurring,” Chuang wrote in his ruling.
" 'It is reasonable to expect that such enforcement actions will occur at Plaintiffs’ place of worship where DHS specifically stated in its press release announcing the 2025 policy that ‘criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,’” he continued.
"Natalie Winters, a co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, did some digging and revealed that Chuang’s wife, Jacinta Ma, is the Vice President of National Immigration Forum (NIF), a pro-open borders advocacy group.
"The organization promotes policies such as a mass amnesty for illegal aliens and works on putting out propaganda about the supposedly massive contributions made by illegal aliens to the U.S. economy.
"The group’s largest donor is the Open Society Foundations, which is funded by the liberal billionaire George Soros." . . . More...
Tech guru admired by Elon Musk estimates ‘over $100 billion’ in taxpayer money is being wasted or stolen
NY Post 
The tech expert — who goes by “DataRepublican” on X — has received threats since Elon Musk started highlighting her work.“The numbers don’t lie,” the data expert added. “And look, they don’t always say what I want to hear. But they do tell me the truth.”
"A data scientist with ties to DOGE chief Elon Musk declared Monday that she believes “over $100 billion” in taxpayer money is being wasted or stolen by federal employees at government agencies.
The tech expert is using artificial intelligence to expose cases of government waste, fraud and abuse and goes by “DataRepublican” on X, where her posts are regularly shared by the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder.
“Whew,” the woman, who is deaf, said through an interpreter when asked by NewsNation’s Brian Entin about how much federal cash she believes is being wasted or stolen based on her efforts poring over public databases.
“If I had to guess, I would say it is over $100 billion,” she said. “But what is more important is what they are doing with that money.” . . .
“I cannot tell you enough how much both [Republicans and Democrats] are involved,” she said. “It is everywhere.”
"Musk’s DOGE initiative, which aims to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending, claims it has already saved taxpayers about $55 billion by slashing government grants, finding lost money, downsizing federal agencies and laying off thousands of government workers."
February 22, 2025 The “Damages Collector”: MSNBC Settles Defamation Lawsuit with Doctor Labeled as the “Uterus Collector”
"Hearsay can be sued. Looks like the media’s “unnamed sources” are no longer going to be treated like oracles. The nation’s propagandists might actually have to confirm their stories. Democrats might be reduced to getting all their news from undocumented blog trolls" . . .Comment to the column below.
"We have previously discussed the defamation case involving Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin who was allegedly defamed by MSNBC, including by host Rachel Maddow, as the “uterus collector.” Now, not long after a settlement of CNN of another defamation case, MSNBC appears to have forked over damages to Dr. Amin to avoid a trial.
"The case was not going well for NBC before it threw in the towel to avoid the April trial. That trial would have been embarrassing for hosts Maddow, Hayes, and Wallace as well as NBC News reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, MSNBC producer Denis Horgan, senior director of stands and practices Mary Lockhart, deputy head of standards Chris Scholl and others.
"The complaint alleged that NBC reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley developed the story on the whistleblower’s claims despite initial skepticism from the network’s standards department.
"MSNBC quickly followed with a series of on-air reports in which the doctor was often referred to as the “uterus collector.” The story was based on allegations by “a former nurse at the facility named Dawn Wooten.” Wooten is quoted extensively in the opinion:
We’ve questioned among ourselves like goodness he’s taking everybody’s stuff out …. That’s his specialty, he’s the uterus collector. I know that’s ugly … is he collecting these things or something[?] … Everybody he sees, he’s taking all their uteruses out or he’s taken their tubes out.
"Despite misgivings about Wooten’s credibility, MSNBC continued with stories that portrayed Dr. Amin as a virtual Dr. Mengele. Critics charged that the story was irresistible for the channel because it combined reproductive health, immigration, and social equity issues. Whatever the reason, hosts and executives set aside their doubts and ran stories that made Dr. Amin an infamous figure throughout the country.
"Judge Lisa Godbey Wood (S.D. Ga.) found that the stories were false in claiming that Dr. Amin performed “hysterectomies that were unnecessary, unauthorized, or even botched.” She also found that MSNBC may have published the reports knowing that the allegations were false or with reckless disregard for the truth." . . .
MAGA Warrior Luna Demands AG Bondi Drop Epstein List and JFK Files NOW
"I agree, Luna is right to pressure Bondi. Trump ordered the files to be released, so the DOJ needs to act quickly. No more fuss, the people deserve the truth now!"
Video: Pam, Tulsi and Kash are more trustworthy than Anna. They will release everything without any help from the task force. – August US In defense of Pam Bondi.
"Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), is tearing into Attorney General Pam Bondi for stalling on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein client list and JFK assassination files, ordered declassified by President Trump on day three of his term. As chairwoman of the Task Force on Declassification, Luna blasted Bondi on X, noting the DOJ’s dodged House Oversight’s letters from February 11 and 19, demanding, “What’s the holdup, Pam?” Bondi teased she’s got the docs but won’t spill yet, leaving Luna and the American people fed up with swamp excuses. The left’s panicking over what these files might expose, while Luna fights for patriots tired of deep-state lies. Bondi better deliver for Team Trump, or she’ll face the MAGA base’s fury—this is America First in action!
- The American people need to know. We have had 6 weeks..nobody in cuffs, no files. If the leftists had won the elections innocent conservatives would have been RAIDED but now. And you better grab those Diddy tapes before the AG that worked as a body man to Mccaulife who Ran Clinton’s campaign does something to them. – Johnny St Pete Tweet w clip
- Full transparency on Epstein and JFK files is crucial for public trust. AG Bondi needs to comply with Trump’s declassification order immediately. The American people deserve the truth, not more bureaucratic delays. – Olivia . . .
Joy say her goodbyes
Joy Reid's FINAL Show Was a DISASTER
Comments from readers: "We live in the Midwest, but my wife works remotely for a California company. She has TWO meetings a week where she is required to say what she will work on in the Monday meeting, and then on Friday she has to explain what she accomplished. She scores way above the company average on every evaluation, but she still has to do it."
"Joy's show had no news value. It was 150% her opinion. It had nothing to do with news or journalism. It was Joy Reid propagating her personal views to a limited audience. And if you assume that her opinion is more valuable than yours then you will miss her. She is a member of the privileged and elitist class, but ended up only being the voice of a few (otherwise she would not have been cancelled)."
