"Netanyahu is under extreme pressure to reach a 60-day ceasefire deal that would see 10 living Israeli hostages released, along with the bodies of dead hostages, in exchange for the release of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, many without charge."
"How anyone, who is a Trump supporter, can listen to that, and not feel completely condescended to, and devalued, and ignored, is something I'll never understand."
Right after posting The Macho Response 2025 (Laughter At The Idea Of EVER Returning To Before)Bill Maher does a Real Time segment on Father's Day, detailing how horribly America's treated men in my lifetime. For the crimes of previous generations. And how society's made icons of males who, under pressure, pander to women. Hint: "Men" don't pander. We acknowledge when The New York Times offers bullshit like Eight Enchanting Novels About Witches, nod, and then keep that shit moving. It's just not worth our time.
Glenn Greenwald says, in his lifetime, he's before never seen a journalist demand to hear what a politician knows about a country he plans to attack - the one thing TMR's been insisting we do to Donald Trump - starting with Palestine. It's a tactic that's time has come.
The release of Mahmoud Khalil is a reminder that, not only doesn't Donald Trump know anything, but he isn't even fulfilling a president's first responsibility, which is to defend the Constitution. I'd keep an eye on that guy if I were you, because he can affect the lifetimes of future generations.
And finally, speaking of affecting the lifetimes of future generations, the fact there's now an 'SNL' display should totally explain why legendary bassist, Carol Kaye, wants nothing to do with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Her work is foundational to everything they do, and even who we are, so she can say - with authority - except to crassly exploit her contribution, the Hall's never known why they exist. Just as MTV forgot what the "M" was for. So she wants nothing to with it. And I applaud her for saying so. That was the right thing to do AND The Macho Response.
Speaking of reason, I wasn't raised by my parents, or even my own family, so I had no one to tell me the world doesn't operate on it. And, by the time we entered The Age of Unreason - and I realized the world doesn't even care about it - it was too late: I had clung to the assumption people were good too long.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal, and the United States - my government - is siding with him in conducting a genocide AND starting a war? Of course they are. Of course they are.
It looks like the word's out, that Kamala Harriswasn't doing everything she could to stop the genocide in Palestine, as AOC said. For a country that's fully wired, that's an incredible amount of lag-time, between when a lie is spoken and the truth is exposed.
We should work on that.
Speaking of lag-time, NewAge as a diluted form of Nazi fascism still hasn't sunk in very deeply, yet. Nobody tell Oprah. Let's see how long it takes for a "journalist" to catch on to her own self-deception.
Speaking of self-deception and forms of white supremacy, according to MSNBC, "MAGA world helps raise over $600,000 after woman hurls racist slur at a child in Minnesota," potentially saying a lot about "MAGA world" and how they handle free speech. But first, I'm curious about the woman in question, Shiloh Hendrix - who thinks she's been put in a dire situation - not that she made one for herself. She claimed "I called the kid out for what he was" after the 5-year old took a toy from her diaper bag:
So what would a white 5-year old have been?
So, speaking of self-deception, forms of white supremacy, and free speech in the United States today - for those of you keeping score at home - in Trump's America, you can raise money for calling kids "niggers," and we hate DEI (though the entire country is now a "safe space" and/or a "sanctuary city" for zionists) but any visitor who says anything against Israel can get kicked out of the country. Oh, and universities are also the playthings of Trump and rich zionists. And don't forget the rich South Africans running things, here now, raised under apartheid and acting like it.
It's all making MAGA's potential for "greatness" feel very elusive.
I've cued the video above to the point in his debate with comedians Joe Rogan and Dave Smith, when a seemingly lost Douglas Murray asked "Why, in the last 18 months, when Hamas did what they did, have so many people made excuses for them, or decided to side with them, or deny their actions, or excuse their actions; why do you think that is?" The answer, of course, is simple: if zionist cultists are already murdering them, and stealing their land, why blame the Palestinians?
Which kind of explains whatever role the British Douglas Murray imagines he, and the likes of Piers Morgan, are playing.
Murray's arguments appear to be the result of the very first thing he accused Joe Rogan of: not speaking to enough people who oppose his views. For instance, at another point in the debate, Murray said "It's a very strange thing to say that there's a population boom in a 'concentration camp,'" when that talking point (which is silly and simplistic when you think about it) was explained by another comedian, Bassem Youssef on the Patrick Bet David podcast, over a year ago, as you can see above.
I've seen the same talking point mentioned, and explained in other places, too. But Douglas Murray hasn't.
