Citizen Free Press linked to stories about the alleged leaker and quickly pulled them.

In response to Mark's remark: "The Dems appear to be scrambling for GOP voters because their base is fracturing—at least those are the headlines I’m seeing."

Is that why GOP neocon (Dem in reality) Liz Cheney accompanied KHarris on some of her 'speaking' events?

Why else would the Harris campaign choose to drag around a bitter harpy?

I’m surprised, but I guess I’m still a bit naive on the scale of Ukraine corruption and whom has their fingers in the Ukraine cookie jar.

John Kelly of Trump Hitler smear fame, is on the board of a Ukrainian company.

Israel’s Use of Human Shields in Gaza Sparks Calls for US Probe

The Israel Defense Forces’ use of Palestinians – who are often handcuffed and forced to wear IDF uniforms – as human shields prompted the leading U.S. Muslim advocacy group on Monday to call on the Biden administration to investigate what experts say is a war crime by the No. 1 recipient of American military aid.

Trump could have settled Ukraine say even as close to 6 months ago

But the ridiculous plan to invade Kursk and capture the Russian Nuclear Power Plant

(3rd largest in Russia) - if not designed by the US certainly supported via satellite

and weapons - has of course been an absolute failure

All terms with Russia are now off the table, complete capitulation and No NATO will be

the starting point.

The Biden Graham 'leadership' has made this so difficult, it will be a great difficulty

for Trump to capitulate - especially when one incorporates the propaganda/media has so

enamored the US citizens with a Ukraine Democracy Win.

How is Ukraine capitulation explained to US Citizens, other than a fools errand, a devastating error, complete waste of time and money

and the loss of 600,000 or more Ukrainian " civilian soldiers " lives

Can the American Public Mind Be Changed ?

Why would Trump want to settle before the election?

"It seems the Israelis are becoming suspicious that Trump’s calls for a “quick” end to the genocide may be a sneaky way of backing out of support"

Trump will attempt to end the Genocide for all know this war is not winnable and is an existential threat to Israel - and the US cannot afford it financially nor diplomatically

(US credibility and respect is gone in most of the world - in much of the world despised )

The terms will include Israel taking land Jerusalem and the surrounding area will have to be given up by the Palestinians with a clear defined boundary

as well a good portion of Gaza

It is rumored that Donald Trump Jr. has his eyes on some great water front property

as well Israel on oil and gas rights.

Israel is likely nervous about future trade with neighbors ( which may be limited if not non-existent), so rights to oil and gas will be imperative

(self-reliance).

Trump will set forth the terms, but will the surrounding neighbors agree ?

And if so at what price to the US (eg: $$$ to Egypt and weapons to Saud)

"It is rumored that Donald Trump Jr. has his eyes on some great water front property as well Israel on oil and gas rights."

I think you are referring to Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. He is on record but according to Forbes his comments were taken out of context. You be the judge as the more left wing publications took him to task. I thought his remarks were distasteful and arrogant.

Just listening to Doug Macgregor:

I know President Trump and his heart's in the right place on all these issues (of war). His intention is to make peace.

I respectfully disagree and I have a great appreciation of your writings,

in that recently Trump said Netanyahu “is doing a good job, Biden is trying to hold him back... and probably should be doing the opposite. I’m glad that Bibi decided to do what he had to do.”

The video is readily available.

Trump may intend to make peace, but that quote goes directly to/viewed by the Israeli public whom many have said ( and I've seen the videos of the public opinion and polls of public opinion) is already stirred into a frenzy.

This was the worst thing to say to an Israeli public that is already what some may deem 'insane' or completely misled, or with religious fervor.

I have a deep respect and admiration for the Jewish People and the American People, but not their leadership and their current chosen path of Genocide.

Years from now when the books are written, and the * true numbers of the slaughtered are released, much like Germany, US and Israel will feel the shame, guilt and disgust of what is being done. The horror is that Germany hid much of the atrocity in camps so perhaps some of the Germans had an excuse; naivety. Not so sure that can be said for the Israeli's and the US.

Additionally - * Israeli's are destroying hospitals, schools, government buildings, all places where records of people/population are kept - there appears a clear intention to destroy all records of living persons so that no one will know the true horror. The Germans kept very good records; it appears the Israeli's have taken that into consideration and are destroying all records.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I'm reporting what Israeli media are saying and what Doug Macgregor is saying. The argument that Mac would presumably make is that Trump is trying to get elected and that politics is a lot like sausage making. That's the ugly side of America.

Using overseas votes to tip an election.

Rumors are same strategy will be used in U.S. raffenberger (Ga) has already given two extra days after the ejection for foreign ballots. And supposedly in some states you can vote overseas, even though you never lived there.

Did the gop party deliberately wait to long to file suit?

How ‘bout using overseas, in this case the British Labour ghouls, to interfere in the upcoming US election - no prob! as the Dems practice the dark arts they project onto others:

"Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" gets an update, by the same people who were targeted for extermination by the Nazis, and is now "Everyone I don't like has terrorist tunnels under his house."

Did we talk about this, already? The Israelis assure us their targeting is without parallel in its precision, essentially divine; their decisions are algorithmically designed to be morally proportionate to the threat, with no hot tempers leading to overkill. Right there, it's in the name: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/14/1218643254/israel-is-using-an-ai-system-to-find-targets-in-gaza-experts-say-its-just-the-st

The AI tool discussed in the NPR story is named "The Gospel", and I can't help but wonder why Israel chose that name.

The other version of this is every white person is a white nationalist/supremacist so therefore a Nazi. Funny how the most ethnocentric, supremacist people continue such transparent projection to smear all other people while they exhibit the most extreme forms of depraved evil.

So nice of them to say "alleged." /s

Trump's enemies of course care only about the damage this story will do to his campaign and how many times they can repeat it before (and even after) it is debunked. Well it was debunked the same day:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/atlantic-immediately-debunked-after-attempting-yet-another-trump-military-hit-piece

Even at that who knows how many "undecideds" will see the initial story but not see the response against it. The media is nothing if not politically motivated.

Story got destroyed quickly. My gut feeling a huge miscalculation. It’s much more emotional than the losers smear, with both a sister and the lawyer destroying it. Which is why the daily mail changed their headline.
