Chicken Run and Some Good Advice

If you are living in a face/shame culture like Hezbollah these stories must really cut deep.

One Kuwaiti user named Fahed uploaded a picture of a dead chicken, adding cynically: “Allahu Akbar! Hassan Nasrallah’s response! Hezbollah’s response! The number of chicken injuries rose to 27 chickens, 5 of them are critically injured, with first-degree burns to the wings and beak, after the chicken pen was targeted in response to the assassination of Fouad Shukr. He says ‘Our missiles are accurate!’”

A parody account named after Syrian tyrant Bashar Al-Assad wrote “A video showing the result of Hezbollah’s response to Israel, where dozens of Israeli chickens were killed and wounded. Is it reasonable that my ally Hezbollah would respond to the assassination of the party’s top military commander by killing chickens?

This one is my favorite:

The Google translation:

Translated from Arabic by

The chicken massacre was not a coincidence, but a strategic plan! The goal? To prevent the opponents and enemies of the “resistance” from gloating after every bombing and saying “They didn’t even hurt a chicken.” Hezbollah finished off the chickens and chicks with premeditation and deliberation, in order to deprive us of the pleasure of joking and mocking its response and missiles! 😅🐔

All of that must cut deep but in the end there are a lot of resources being used to defend Israel here and I think Lindsey Graham gives the best advice when it comes to stopping this. Start worrying about the puppeteer rather than the puppets:

I’d include a demand concerning the attacks on the north but you get the picture.

Israel Strikes Back, Iran and Biden hardest hit

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. 

And not just Iran:

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.

The shutdown came as Israel’s war cabinet was locked in talks over how to respond to Iran’s first direct attack on its territory.

Experts have warned Iran is on the “threshold” of becoming a nuclear power and could build a bomb in six months to a year. Uranium enrichment is accelerating as the regime faces calls to create a deterrent.

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?

After four days of Pinball it’s time to catch up on a few things:

The Iranian attack on Israel took place while I was at Pintastic. There was an excellent graphic showing where the various missiles and drones came from. I think it quite significant that none came from Lebanon.

Why? Lebanon is in range of an Israeli invasion and can do so without having to cross any other border.

Do you think Iran would have dared to attack if an Israeli army could reach them directly?

The supporters of Iran were busy shutting down airports and bridges around the country, however in Florida thing went a bit differently:

Ron DeSantis had something to say about this as well:

I don’t like heat and I don’t like bugs but I must say Florida is looking better and better as a place to live

The President of Columbia University and their board testified today on antisemitism on campus.

When asked under oath if a professor who praised the attack of Oct 7th was on a particular committee she claimed: “he is no longer a chair of that Committee.”

Yet a few minutes later:

Mafiosi dream to be as feared by their prey as these college presidents are of these supporters of terror.

There are a lot of fears that the left has with this upcoming election, the bad economy, the border crisis, the protestors blocking bridges, but if I had to pick one thing that scares them the most, it would be this:

The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG), which represents thousands of bodegas in New York City, has issued a statement backing President Donald J. Trump, slamming local District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and hitting out at local politicians who have ignored the widespread criminality occurring in the city.

“The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG)… is honored to host President Donald J. Trump at the Blue Moon bodega in Manhattan where Jose Alba was arrested for simply defending himself and his business against a convicted felon, the statement began.

If the left thought for one moment that the Spanish speaking community was starting to lean Trump the border would be sealed tighter than a drum.

Right now a case is being argued at the Supreme Court that will have a huge impact on many of the J6 defendants.

The question of selective prosecution came up and Justice Gorsuch make short work of US Solicitor Elizabeth Prelogar

The funny thing is none of those examples listed by Justice Gorsuch were hypothetical. All of them where things the left have actually done.

I’m hoping that in ten years we will look back at these days in Amazement and ask ourselves how we ever let this happen?

There is Irony and there is “You’ve Got to Be Shitting Me” Irony Iranian Ayatollah Edition

Commander Buck Murdock: Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

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…

…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!
