The quoted paragraphs are sobering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hamas Wants The Land of Israel, But It Also Wants Much More Than That As I write this, more than one hundred, (mostly Israeli) Jews are still being held hostage. They have been imprisoned and are tortured 24/7. They are deprived of food; the males are beaten just for fun, and the girls, women, and boys are raped. We know this thanks to Arabic language documents IDF soldiers found when they cleared out Hamas nests. The documents contain explicit instructions about how to torture and maim and the best way to kill a Jew with a knife by stabbing him in the neck and/or spine. The same orders tell the captors to keep the captured Jews on the most meager rations. These instructions also order the captors to show no tolerance to any hostages who show even the slightest resistance or objection to doing what they are told. If they do, they must be killed.

Boeing Whistleblower Claims 787 Could Fall Apart and 'Drop to the Ground,' Wouldn't Put His Family on One Boeing engineer turned whistleblower Sam Salehpour appeared on NBC News Tuesday evening and said the company's 787 Dreamliner could literally fall apart and "drop to the ground" due to assembly flaws and that he wouldn't feel safe putting his family on one. He is expected to testify before a U.S. Senate subcommittee Wednesday about what he sees as devastating safety issues at the aircraft industry company. The problem is so dangerous he thinks the entire fleet should be grounded: [...] https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/04/16/boeing-whistleblower-claims-787-could-fall-apart-and-drop-to-the-ground-wouldnt-put-his-family-on-one-n2172888

Biden's Pic With Kids Sets People Talking, As He Tells Another Bizarre Story and Lie About the Race [...] Biden had multiple moments of confusion while in Scranton. He screamed about former President Donald Trump repeating the debunked story about "suckers and losers" when it was he himself who called members of the military "stupid bastards" on camera a few years ago. Biden even blanked out briefly on the name of the town, his own hometown. He also visited a campaign facility where he told a bizarre story about answering the door to his hotel room in a towel and shaving cream. Whatever he's trying to say, it's so rambling that it borders on the incoherent. [...] https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/04/16/biden-in-scranton-campaign-event-n2172884

A very clear explanation of the situation and the double standard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BREAKING: Alvin Bragg Seeks to Punish Trump for Violating an Unconstitutional Gag Order [...] Joking aside, the serious problem here is that the order—and the attempt to enforce it—is unconstitutional election interference in violation of Trump's First Amendment rights. To back up a little bit, we think it is common knowledge but we will say it anyway: 'Contempt of court' is just a fancy way of saying you are disobeying the court. No court will punish you for merely feeling the emotion of contempt. It's what you do that matters. Thus, Bragg is saying that Trump violated a gag order, and should be punished for doing so. Therefore, you want to start with the order itself, which we linked to, here: [...] https://twitchy.com/aaronwalker/2024/04/16/da-bragg-seeks-to-punish-trump-for-violating-unconstitutional-gag-order-n2395160

That's Impossible! Vegan 'Meat' Not So Good for You After All There's a "health halo" surrounding manufactured vegan "meat" products even though they provide no "clear benefit" — and might even be bad for your heart health, according to a new study reported on in the Daily Mail. Dr. Sumanto Haldar lectures on nutrition science at Britain's Bournemouth University and suggests that the industry re-evaluate "the development of the next generation of meat alternatives" because "[at] present, producing these plant-based meat alternatives often involves a substantial amount of processing." Current vegan "meats" like Beyond Meat, Fauxjerky, Cow Patty's, or I Can't Believe It's Not Sausage "can be high in salt, saturated fat, and additives in order to match the taste and texture of real meat products," according to Haldar. His study showed that people who eat the stuff "also seemingly had worse blood pressure than their meat-consuming counterparts."

Lord Help Us: Biden Needs a Really Detailed Cheat Sheet With World Leaders During an Oval Office meeting with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia'a Al-Sudani, observers noticed President Joe Biden holding an extremely detailed crib sheet to get through the meeting. And when I say detailed, I mean detailed. "Biden, 81, turned to the script — which included an all-caps stage direction on when to pause in his comments to allow for an interpreter to translate — to make his first public statement since Iran launched an unprecedented direct missile and drone attack on Israel over the weekend," noted the New York Post. "The president glanced down at his script repeatedly as he sat beside Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia'a Al-Sudani." It's worth noting that Al-Sudani didn't rely on any script or crib sheet during his remarks after Biden's.

We have some VERY strong thoughts about this! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It Was All Propaganda: Bonobos MORE Aggressive Than Chimps Peace activists and hippies have for decades used Bonobos--a chimp-like primate known to be peace and sex loving relatives to human beings--as potential models for a peaceful future society. Bonobos, we were told, were like the hippie ideal, all free love and stoner-friendly. Yeah, well, [...].

Scientists Thought They Knew What Uranus and Neptune Were Made Of. They Were Fooled. The ice giants Uranus and Neptune live up to their name. Although humans have only ever sent one spacecraft (Voyager 2) toward these far-flung worlds, scientists have a pretty good idea that these planets contain ice—and lots of it. Some estimates place these planets' water content at around 50,000 times what's found in Earth's oceans. However, the exact composition of that water is up for debate. Neptune, for example, has [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/scientists-thought-knew-uranus-neptune-160700162.html

Biden Retaliates Against Iran By Attaching Note To Pallet Of Cash That Says 'Please Do Not Use For Terrorism' WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a swift and decisive response to the drone and missile attack on Israeli targets over the weekend, President Joe Biden retaliated against Iran by attaching a note to the next pallet of cash that reads "PLEASE DO NOT USE FOR TERRORISM."

Guess we have to go inside Iran to hear support for the right side. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watch: Iranian Woman Eviscerates Anti-Israel, Pro-Islamic Republic Rhetoric [...] The State of Israel's Twitter/X account shared a video of an Iranian woman slamming the hypocrisy of online pontificators about the ongoing Hamas-Israel-Iran conflict. The very people spouting off about Iran's supposed victimhood did not care a jot when the tyrannical Iranian regime was lynching, arresting, and torturing the Iranian people for protesting the government. Nor do these same self-righteous individuals recognize that the current "Islamic Republic" regime does not represent the wishes of the Iranian people, who want peace with Israel. The video is particularly relevant not only regarding the Israeli strike on Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Iranian leaders, but also following Iran's direct drone assault on Israel.
