The Quiet Man 1952
Every now and then people make a wish, a really stupid wish and every now and then the world decides to grant that stupid wish and give said people just what they asked for.
This happened to the “protestors” at UCLA yesterday. Police had arrived in force and the “protestors” being the leftists that they are did not take kindly to their arrival.
They chanted “Pigs Go Home” and had signs up saying “Fuck UCPD” and “ACAB” (all cops are bastards) deriding the police who had arrived to restore order.
This went on for a while, and then the police decided to grant their wish and decided to withdraw…
…coincidently right at the time when a group of people, armed with pipes, upset at an attack the sent a Jewish girl, arrived.
For two hours. Multiple agencies responding to a mutual aid request from campus police apparently had conflicting or limited orders, with people on the campus hearing that officers were warned to avoid using force or making arrests.
It was at this point where those folks who where chanting “Pigs go home” were suddenly shocked SHOCLED and outraged at the lack of police presence to protect them.
Getting texts from terrified @UCLA students in the pro-Palestinian encampment, which is under attack by pro-Israel counterprotesters. "This is urgent. Please. It's getting bad. No police."
No police? Isn’t that what those students showing “pigs go home” just a few minutes before wanted? Why aren’t they all delighted?
Zionist groups at UCLA attacked the pro-#Palestine student encampment. They launched fireworks, assaulted students, and used pepper spray and bear spray. Clashes are still ongoing.
Where are the police? Why they “fucked off” just like you asked them to.
What we seem to have hear is a failure to communicate the redefinition of words which has become common among the left these days. When the pro-hamas anti-Semite radicals where saying:
“Pigs Go Home”
They apparently actually meant:
“Please Mr. Policeman protect us from our enemies who want revenge on us for beating up that girl”
They never meant “fuck the police” as a statement of principle, as any form of expression regarding their personal beliefs. It was cosplay; they were making fashionable mouth sounds, morally and intellectually empty child-noises from howling human voids gibbering mindless nonsense with absolutely nothing happening in the gob of fat they use for a brain. Empty, pathetic, worthless.
Fortunately for the Hamas crowd the Mayor, perhaps realizing that it was a crowd of Democrat voters who were now at risk instead of just Jewish girls, finally called the police giving permission to engage and within an hour things were quiet again.
It’s worth noting that once the police had removed the danger the pro-terrorist protesters faced from their attackers a familiar refrain returned to the anti-Semite encampment:

(...until our enemies come back to fight)
On the plus side the students at this place of education were given a valuable lesson about police. One of their primary duties is to protect criminals from mob justice, which can be a life saving task if you’re one of the criminals who the mob is crying for vengeance against.
Expect cries of outrage from Democrat pols who were 24 hours earlier decrying the police moving in at Columbia.
Unexpectedly of course.
For those too young to remember the great fight scene referenced at the top here it is:
I guess Iran and Russia aren’t the only ones who ignore Biden when he says “Don’t”
Israel retaliated on Thursday night to Iran, reportedly launching strikes that targeted the west of the country. Explosions were heard early Friday morning local time in Isfahan prompting commercial flights to divert from their routes.
Israel launched missiles in a retaliatory strike against Iran on Thursday night, ABC, CBS and NPR reported, citing senior US officials.
Bloomberg reported that Israeli officials notified the United States earlier on Thursday that the country planned to retaliate to Saturday’s attack in the next 24-48 hours.
Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported at around 5:30 a.m. local time (10:00 p.m. ET Thursday) that explosions were heard in Qahjaverestan, northeast of Isfahan. The cause of the explosions is currently unknown, per the outlet. CNN reported that Iran’s air defense systems had been activated, citing Iranian media.
The report came shortly after local sources reported explosions in Isfahan in central Iran, in the As-Suwayda Governorate of southern Syria, and in the Baghdad area and Babil Governorate of Iraq early Friday morning.
Apparently Iran figured out that Biden’s latest don’t wasn’t going to be effective:
the Iranian regime isn’t taking any chances trying to securely button up what they have, knowing it’s a prime target for attempted destruction. Prudence dictates they bubblewrap their nuclear facilities.
JUST IN CASE
Iran closed down its nuclear facilities amid fears of an Israeli attack, the United Nations has revealed.
Inspectors were blocked from the sites on Sunday, Rafael Grossi, the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency chief, said.
That’s not the only asset Iranians want to protect. For months, and in other periods of unrest prior to this, a certain Iranian Spy ship gussied up as a freighter has been plying the waters of the Red Sea. It mysteriously always seems to be in the vicinity when Houthi missiles are finding their targets or certain tankers or cargo ships need to be culled for boarding and hijacking out of the hundreds floating by.
No word on what the Damage is but no matter how you cut it, Iran loses face, but not as much as Biden.
Then again how much face does the Biden administration have?

Airplane 2 The Sequel 1982
As a general rule war (Hogan’s Heroes, McHale’s Navy and F-Troop not withstanding) war is not something to laugh at and the war between Israel and Hamas is no laughing matter. It started with a literal orgy of rape, murder and kidnapping and has seen large chunks of the west throw out the standards of right and wrong to first deny and then defend these acts while embracing violent antisemitism, some from ignorance, some from fear of Islamists (that’s real Islamophobia) and some because it pays rather well.
Even in Gaza itself the use of Hospitals as terror bases and the stealing of food aid to sell for fun and profit brings no sense of shame and while one might recognize that the Gazans celebration of the murder of Jews and their complicity with Hamas is the primary driver of their new lives in tents, it’s not something to laugh at.
But in the end there are some things, even in the midst of war that are so mind mind-bendingly ridiculous that all you can do is point and laugh and this is it:
Iranian Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the Zionist regime made the mistake of attacking the Iranian diplomatic mission in Syria during his comments Wednesday during Eid al-Fitr prayers.
Khamenei told supporters, “The evil regime made a mistake and it should be punished and will be punished.”
emphasis mine
Seriously? Am I actually reading that the Iran’s Supreme Ayatollah is shocked SHOCKED that anyone might violate the sanctity of an embassy and their their diplomatic mission?
I know these days American President or at least those who try to fake it while being drugged up more than John Gil don’t talk about American hostages held by Iranian proxies but can any American 55 years old or older not look at these Iranian statements…
Israel threatens to strike Iran directly if Iran launches attack from its territory – Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vows retaliation against Israel for the killing of two Iranian generals in Syria, emphasizing the importance of punishing the "evil regime."
…vowing revenge on Israel, the state which their proxies have been attacking on their behalf, for daring to violate the sanctity of a diplomatic mission and not just burst out laughing at the 180 these bastards have suddenly taken when they make their bones on violating the American embassy after Carter & company pushed to let them back into Iran and held our people and paraded them about as trophies right up until the day Ronald Reagan was sworn in and they decided they didn’t want to risk glow a lovely shade of green?
Of course in the late 70’s the Iranian hostage crisis dominated the news. Today there is a media blackout on such things as they might nudge the numbers in the Joe Biden “re-election” quest beyond the margin of fraud, so shhh!
The Jewish state’s objective in their strike in Syria might have been to take out top Iranians involved in the planning of the Oct 7th attacks among others but it had the side effect of completely depantsing the Iranian Ayatollahs.
If that’s not worth a gut busting laugh I’d like to know what is!
Hacom:Reger, these are young men. They are not old enough to be excused. Reger:They’re visitors. Hacom:Well, have they no Lawgivers in the Valley? Why be they not at the Festival? Captain Kirk [in local dress]: We heard that you might have rooms for us. Reger:There. You see, Hacom? They’ve merely come looking for a place to rest afterwards. Hacom:The Red Hour has already struck. Tamar:Hacom, these be strangers. The Valley has different ways. Hacom:Do you say that Landru is not everywhere? Tamar:No, of course not. It’s simply they may have different ways.
Star Trek The Return of the Archons 1967
We all have pet peeves in our life, my wife hates when I leave lights on (I like to see) and I hate pans left inside of pans on stoves while DaWife is all for it. But this article title hit a serious Pet Peeve of mine concerning war:
I Am Furious About the Relentless Anti-Israel Propaganda
Now the article itself by David Strom is better than the title. It talks about the relentless propaganda by the left, and by universities and by Hamas attacking Israel and he expresses his disgust thus:
But the truth is that very little of the criticism aimed at Israel is even remotely rational or motivated by anything but anti-Western or antisemitic hate, and I am sick and tired of it. And I am just as disturbed by the media’s spreading of that propaganda with far too little skepticism.
Words have meaning. Actions have context. Hamas is objectively evil.
While I share Mr. Strom’s support of Israel and his analysis of Hamas I’ve got to say none of this infuriates me.
Why? Two basic reasons.
First Hamas and the Arab World have been spreading propaganda about Israel from almost the moment of its creation, in fact there is a rather famous intercept from the 1967 War with Nasser pretty much blackmailing Jordan into joining the war and discussing how to spin the destruction of the Arab air forces. Falsehoods and lies are a basic tactic in Muslim Arab culture even to their own people (There are generations of Egyptians who have been taught since their birth that the 1973 war with Israel was a resounding victory).
Second and most importantly: This is war.
Right now Hamas is fighting for it’s very survival, they had no idea that Israel would respond in the way that they did and the people who cheered on Hamas on October 7th and rushed into Israel to steal what they could had no idea that they would be reduced to living in tents because of these actions.
The Qataris and the Iranians who are financing Hamas didn’t see this coming either. They’re happy to fund proxy efforts (Iran with the help of Obama’s pallets of Cash and Biden’s moves to push up oil prices) but don’t dare let the war touch themselves. If Israel decided to strike Qatar they would last about 30 seconds and Iran understands that a direct assault on Israel could give them the casus belli for a counterstrike that could contain a nuclear component to end the Mullahs once and for all.
So naturally they use the best cards they have in their hand which are playable.
For Iran and Qatar it’s money and that money is wisely spent on buying academics and media who are easily bought and pushing a narrative. There are plenty of Muslims in Europe and the US who don’t like Jews and would be happy to see them dead but without the ability or strength to legally slaughter the Jews in their midst they’ll settle for intimidation and vandalism and the spreading of propaganda across regular and social media until such a time in the future when their numbers grow to the point when they can can openly slaughter them.
For the far left which has been aborting and neutering their own children and encouraging other to do the same, they’ll welcome the additional number sure in the idea that it will be a generation or more before they are strong enough to take action against the gays, transgenders and libertines which the Arabs despise. (And if it means some Jewish leftists are demoted from Useful idiots to simply idiots to be discarded so be it).
For Hamas it’s the hostages. As long as Hamas holds them or can be thought of as holding them they have a card they can use to delay and disrupt Israel both in the field and on the home front, so no matter how much understandable outrage one might hold over the barbarity of holding hostages, especially women & children I’m not phased or shocked over their doing so because for them that’s the best card they have.
This is war, a game of life and death that is played to win, I’m not outraged about the Arabs playing the game in the way they see fit nor am I outraged over them saying one thing in Arabic to their own people and another to people in the west with different customs and standards. That’s what drives me nuts. This is not our culture, it’s not our standards. This is what the Arab/Muslim world is, it’s what it’s always been, it’s what they’ve been doing for decades and what people like Pam Geller and Robert Spencer and Brigitte Gabriel have warned the west repeatedly about. It’s not a secret and we should not be shocked and outraged that they act as they do.
If you want to be outraged, be outraged about the people who either through ignorance or expedience fall for or pretend to fall for it for cash, or fame or acceptance or even fear.
That’s something to be outraged about.
Instead think of how to counter it and act accordingly.
