The Aggressor State

Russia has earned the Graham sanctions. The Ukraine did NOT attack Moscow. Putin started an unprovoked war against a peaceful neighbor. The aggressors thought they had easy pickings and would win a quick victory, but they didn't factor in the fighting skills and spirit of the Ukraine. It is a fitting tribute to the late South Carolina Senator to pass a law with the real teeth to punish the worst troublemaker in Europe since Hitler. 

Politician of Conscience

I believe John Fetterman has a heart for humanity and is trying to do good for his constituents and our nation. He recognizes that when a candidate praises Mao, he is endorsing the murder of tens of millions. The Pennsylvania Senator understands that when he hears a member of his own party say "the US deserved 9/11"that is not some abstract statement but support for the worst terrorist outrage ever visited on America. Fetterman stands tall literally but also as the one upright moral beacon of a political party that has descended into Hades of hating their own nation. 

The New Masters

The Democratic Socialists were once a fringe within that larger party. They then grew to a faction of the Party, but now have burgeoned so much as to subsume the Party itself. They now set the agenda, and more mainstream figures like Chuck Schumer dance to their tune as the longtime Senator knows AOC can defeat him from the Left if he seeks to leap off their anti-American, Israel-hating train as it surges to the end of the line. Either the few normal Democrats like John Fetterman become resurgent and save the Party, or it will be a tragic defeat for the Party, or worse, a victory for the hard Left that ends up destroying America as it was founded. 

An Editorialist Only

I am NOT a journalist. I do ask "who, what, where, when, and why". I am rarely on the ground when events occur, unless by absolute happenstance, I am where a news event takes place. I do my best to convey the truth, and report accurately, but I admit from the start, that I am biased. I am proudly a hard Right conservative. I am also Jewish and support the existence and safety of Israel. If you want news, go to a network, but if you seek an informed opinion with Republican and Zionist leanings, you may find https://despotinwaiting.blogspot.com meets your interests. 

No News Organization

Citizen journalists do not have stringers, fact-checkers, or lawyers to assess stories before they are published. What they do have is the ability to be there on the ground when events happen. Sometimes early information and preliminary reports turn out to be way off base. It is important to spread the word fast, but more so to be accurate in what you are telling the public. 

Making It Right

When I convey information that turns out to be wrong, I admit it. My initial post today was based on reportage I read on multiple other web pages. I repeated what I thought was vetted and factual. It was not, and for that, I am sorry. 

More Spontaneous Jihad?

Editor's Note: The following report was based on information that was wrong. The identity of the shooter was misreported on other sites. The motivation for the attack has not been released.    Could the Idaho shooting have been an act of Islamist terrorism? According to some early reports, the attacker is the son of a Muslim refugee from Bosnia, who emigrated to America and became a police officer. These postings go on to indicate that the alleged gunman developed recent interest in his Bosnian heritage and in Communism. The shooter had apparently expressed support for "Palestine" after the October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel and sympathy for Iran since strikes by American forces began against the mullah regime. It is too early to label the shooting a jihadist event, but that cannot be ruled out.
