The Great Awakening is more than just about knowing some facts. It is a dramatic shift in consciousness. MAHA Is only one step, not the end. And Donald is pretty old, so of course he likes isilreal.

As you give such thought to the language you use Mark, I wondered what verb you had in mind here when your fingers skipped over it! (Of course readers get the overall meaning, ie governed, shaped, owned etc.)

“Second, Americans can no longer ignore the reality that America is largely—not totally, the reality is always more complex—[…..] by the agendas of Jewish Americans.” Cheers!

Oh my! I think it was "governed." But "shaped" works, too.

A guy Named Jim Quinn wrote this and so I take no credit. Its posted on ZeroHedge.

"The Powers That Be/Deep State have gone to Plan B, since Plan A was a dementia ridden, pants shitting, child sniffing, corrupt, global embarrassment. Everybody knows Kamala Harris is an extremely unlikable, vacuous, commie, diversity shill, Obama puppet. She couldn’t get above 2% support in the 2020 Democrat primaries and had the lowest popularity rating of any VP in history, because she is an honest to goodness moron. She was selected because she can read a teleprompter better than the shuffling cadaver in the White House. Every time she is stumped by a question, she cackles like a hyena, so she cackles a lot."

I think Jim says it all here, but we can't forget that the dementia ridden, pants shitting, child sniffing, corrupt, global embarrassment was a dementia ridden, pants shitting, child sniffing, corrupt, global embarrassment before he was selected in 2020.

So we know full well it can happen again with the extremely unlikable, vacuous, commie, diversity shill, Obama puppet who couldn’t get above 2% support in the 2020 Democrat primaries and had the lowest popularity rating of any VP in history, because she is an honest to goodness moron.

It can happen again.

PA will go for Kamala despite what will be an initial popular vote heavily skewed to Trump. Shapiro has already said the vote will not be fully counted at the close of election day. It is really simple - the cops are not around, the DAs where it matters are all Democrat-Soros controlled and will do nothing, the AG is Dem controlled - lawless. This time they will steal it openly and no one will be able to do anything about it. Count on it. Sad but true.

As Megatron quoted by Mark reminds us, it’s the children. But once again the Dims reveal their duplicity and depravity: they rally round the Palestinians, rightly criticizing and calling out the Israeli warlords for the ongoing killing, injuring and maiming of children, and yet here and in the West generally they allow late-term abortion, push trans and other deviant behaviors on the young and innocent (causing excruciating mental and physical suffering), and use the education system to propagandize “difference” and “diversity” from nursery through graduate school. Who was it who said “suffer the little children and forbid them not to come unto me, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Great comment! Neither self-consciousness nor intellectual consistency are Dem strong suits. Because of that, fractiousness and a juvenile view of ethics characterize them. Yet are the Neocons and many of the Republican "Conservatives" any better? Many (if the polls Mark cites are to be believed) still support Israeli genocide at the same time as they decry abortion as "killing" and condemn the Dems because of it. Isn't that just as inconsistent and morally fractious? (Rhetorical question.)

Good point! I’m afraid too with these poll numbers that real antisemitism will be on the rise…

*Watch what I do, not what I say.*

The Dems 'rally round' the Palestinians and call out 'the Israeli warlords for the ongoing killing, injuring and maiming of children, and yet...'.

...And yet...and yet, they do NOTHING to stop it.

Does anyone think for a moment that if we pulled the plug on nearly $4bln a year US aid to Israel, that the killing, injuring and maiming would continue?

Given the religious beliefs and the objectives of the Revisionist Zionists, the killing, injuring, and maiming will continue until the very last day the ammunition and the money run out. That is how deluded and evil these people are. And to think we are supporting them and are every bit as culpable in their monstrous delusion and evil. And we don't even need a reason! ... other than MIC profits and a flimsy nationalist Neocon philosophical cover.

PLUS: It seems the Dems have totally forgotten that their man, Joseph R Biden, Jr, is still POTUS...and Commander in Chief (really!) ...and he alone, by the stroke of a pen, could stop the "killing, injuring and maiming of children"... IMMEDIATELY!

Right. Who is steering America into multiple wars that could lead to a global war? The Constitution says the president is "commander in chief" but reality is telling us something else.

If the “childless cat ladies” are in charge, as this piece by C Hurt tells it, well, we’re doomed!

"The American taxpayer deploys almost a trillion dollars a year into defense spending. At the very least, it would be great to know who or what entities are commanding our troops, but we are just not getting those answers.

"In an increasingly hostile and interconnected world, with a multipolar geopolitical environment fast becoming a permanent reality, the American government is without a visible, true command structure. **And that benefits almost nobody."**

ALMOST nobody. But Neocons aren't nobody, and this situation--which is new only in its extremity--has long benefited them. You can date that from the Clintons. More later.

I think this poll pretty much explains where Donald Trump (who is nothing if not poll-driven) is coming from when you try to understand his otherwise incomprehensible position on Israel.

Well, I suppose he's got to get elected first, before anything else.

Wow! I'm a 70+ 'Republican' SWM, but I line up best w 18-29 yo female Dems on the war in the ME.

I'm totally out of sync with my age, race, sex, political demographic.

I wonder how many readers here fall into a similar boat?

I guess a lot of us who oppose genocide are just "weird" (to use the newly "in vogue" MSM- promoted pejorative). But how come the Democratic Party's MSM propogandists haven't castigated the 18-29yo females for their views? I'm waiting.

Why can’t the Israelis fight their wars with their own weapons & own $$$? Why does it always have to be U.S. weapons & U.S. taxpayer $$$?

Think that’s a fair question.

Fair question, esp to our estimable DJT.

Because it's cheaper to pay off our politicians who then give Israel billions of our money in aid and weapons. Quite the return on investment!
