Five Nasty Surprises Under the Fedora: 15 Million Day, Oddly not Blaming the Gun This Time, Bluesky the Robespierre Wet Dream, Israel Doing what Nobody Else Wants to do For Them and More Red Pillings

As Usual the great Bryon York does a spectacular Job in explaining how the desire to falsely call Donald Trump a rapist was pushed by a Judge with an agenda. Alas agendas are not the same as the law as ABC and George Stephanopoulos found out at a cost of 15 Mil.

There are plenty of lefty influencers who are well paid that Trump can soak, he should go after every one.

It will be a lot of fun to see the Trump organization continue to sue these folks and make them pay.

Justine Bateman and I both noticed something interesting about the left’s reaction to the CEO murder.

So not only is nobody calling for Gun Control as Justine notes, but nobody is blaming the gun this time for the killing, or as it should be if the left was consistent celebrating the gun.

Apparently people are the killers when the left approves of the killing and guns are the killers when they don’t.

Speaking of the left and violence…

Well without risk until Jan 21st 2025 anyway.

If the French Terror had social media Bluesky would be their spot.

Remember when it was said illegal immigrants were “doing jobs Americans aren’t willing to do anymore”?

Apparently the Israeli’s are the “illegal immigrants” doing the job that the west wants done but doesn’t want to dirty their hands with…

…albeit it’s done out of their own self preservation.

Of course I suspect Jihadi’s will get all the nuclear weapons they want once they’re done taking over England.

There is a group of people who will never listen to any kind of conservative media because in their mind to do so crosses some kind of “purity test” so the only time they get any kind of message that penetrates their bubble world is if someone else chooses to report it.

Enter Stephen A Smith:

The number of people who follow Stephen A Smith who have likely never consumed conservative media is considerable and he is a significant enough black voice that the MSM blacklists him at their peril, so when he is reporting that the FBI admits to having at least 26 informants on the ground on J6, that’s going to open quite a few eyes.

It’s as if the whole corrupt mess is collapsing and Trump isn’t even sworn in yet.

Syria: Four Perfect Sentences and A Countdown

Pat Wheeler: Son, l……asked you over here because the Sheriff’s a friend of mine. He’s got trouble. He can use a good man.

Colorado Ryan: To go against the Burdettes, Sheriff?

Sheriff Chance: That’s right.

Pat Wheeler: I told him you were one of the best.

Colorado Ryan: Well…I’ll tell you what I’m a lot better at, Mr. Wheeler… that’s minding my own business. No offense, Sheriff.

Sheriff Chance: No offense.

Pat Wheeler: I never expected that.

Sheriff Chance: He showed good sense. like to have him.

Rio Bravo 1959

There were a lot of parables that Jesus told during his time teaching on earth. One of the most important ones is often ignored. It’s about prudence.

Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’

Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.

Luke 14 28-32

While it’s about the costs of discipleship it’s also about knowing what can be done and what can’t

And that brings me to Syria, one of the best evaluations of the situation that I read is in Arabic

https://twitter.com/Ibrahim_3eissa/status/1865709633647616057

It Translates thus:

Assad is another Arab dictator who has not learned from history. There is not a single dictator who has learned from history. The tragic thing is that the dictator falls and the state collapses and disintegrates, chaos spreads and overthrows, because the dictator creates a state of paper, and an authority of straw, based on oppression and repression. He crushes any alternatives or civil opposition, and then the terrorists come and crush him and crush everything. Syria is on its way to another Libya, another Taliban, or another Turkish-Brotherhood hegemony, but it will not return to the first Syria.

This is spot on. It’s a mess and it’s going to be messier. You know who also sees things in Syria as they are? Donald Trump:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1865434273953509462

Here is the full tweet, and note the last four sentences emphasis his:

Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad. Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years. This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all hell broke out, with Russia stepping in. But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them. There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid. In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!

The evaluation of Russia’s situation is good but what’s even better is his declaration that the United States should not get involved in that fight.

It’s not our mess and all that will happen if we get involved in it will be a lot of money and dead Americans for no return.

The good news is that in 43 days we’ll have a president who understands this.

The bad news is that until then we don’t know what the people who are currently running the country will do. I would not put it past them to try to get us in this mess just to mess up Trump.

Why We Need the 2nd Amendment: Nasty Dose of Reality in Amsterdam Edition

Don Vito Corleone: But I’m a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him, if he should get shot in the head by a police officer or if he should hang himself in his jail cell or if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room. And that, I do not forgive.

The Godfather 1972

This morning I woke to the news that there were folks in Amsterdam who used the excuse of a soccer match to start a pongrom against Jews

They’re beaten, kicked, run over, thrown in the river. In one instance, a fan was reportedly held against his will until he said ‘Free Palestine’. When terrorist sympathizers chant globalize the intifada, this is what it looks like. Every one of these are anti-Jewish hate crimes, plain and simple.

To wit:

The Dutch authorities apparently no longer having the courage or those who fought the Nazis or Michiel de Ruyter are apparently sitting this one out and one of the reasons this is possible is because nobody seems to want to cover this story to force them into action:

So thank Elon Musk that we even know about it.

How bad has it gotten? This bad:

Over the years I’ve been writing I’ve often seen people in Europe wonder why Americans are so insistent on the 2nd amendment. In fact Doctor Who even joked about Americans and guns once.

But the bottom line is if the Dutch had a 2nd Amendment then every single one of those thugs would have to ask themselves: “Does that Jew have a gun?” before going after any Jew and you’ll be surprised how much that slows down a so called “martyr”. If you think it can’t happen here you haven’t seen a college campus lately which coincidently are generally considered “gun free zones, or as I call them, game preserves for the evil.

That’s why we need the 2nd Amendment. Any Questions?

Three Closing Thoughts:

  1. It is an utter disgrace that the Dutch Authorities are letting this happen.
  2. Anyone who says this isn’t coming to other European cities is a delusional idiot or wants it to happen
  3. The reason for the Godfather quote is personal and I’ll explain in an update tonight.

Update: My wife was in Amsterdam today on her way home she got in and out of the city without incident.

I Want to Note One Thing About All of the Brave “Death to Israel” Protesters Particularly Men of Military Age All Over the Western World on This Oct 7th 2024…

…for all their fury expressed in public and willingness to intimidate police and administrators in western cities in the year they have been marching NONE OF THEM HAVE TAKEN UP ARMS TO HEAD TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO FIGHT.

Quite a few Jews have gone to Israel to fight and there is no shortage of Jewish citizens currently under arms but none of these brave protesters, whose men of military age would constitute a mighty army, for all their loud pronouncements are ready to go off to war to fight those who they claim are committing genocide.

They seem quite invincible when it comes to shouting and screaming and going after lone counter protesters with a mob behind them, but the prospect of facing an armed Jew, man or woman, even with numbers in their favor makes them wet their pants.

They are like the man on the train that Confederate Joseph Johnston encountered after the Civil War who loudly proclaimed the southern cause but when asked by the former general in what regiment he served said that circumstances didn’t allow him to fight. Johnston described him to a friend later as the type who were “Invisible in war and invincible in peace.”

These protesters are “Invincible” in the safety of the western world in places where the rules of free expression are stretched to their breaking point to allow them to denounce Israel as genocidal monsters.

But “invisible” when it comes to putting themselves on the line to fight against them when there is the risk of harm.

Unexpectedly of course.

Cue Python and the Ballad of Sir Robin:

Frankly if I was Israel I’d finance people to dress up like the minstrels in this skit and taunt them
