Yesterday, Biden said Israel was carrying out "indiscriminate bombing" in Gaza, using his keen observation skills to recognize what anyone with functional senses could’ve told you two months ago. Earlier today, Biden administration officials told CNN that the old man has "no plans to shift its position and draw any red lines around the transfer of weapons and munitions to Israel." So the people in power are most definitely aware of what they’re arming, funding, and supporting, they simply can not be bothered to give a single solitary care* (edited for profanity).
“We’re not going to do a damn thing other than protect Israel in the process. Not a single thing.”
-Joseph Robinette Biden
So Joey B has adopted what I’m sure he considers is a strong stance by warning the apartheid state that they’re losing what little international support they had on account of their endless murder of children in Gaza. This came just a few hours before the United Nations general assembly overwhelmingly demanded a humanitarian cease-fire. Yet we’re nowhere closer to a lasting ceasefire than we were last week, or last month. Instead, we’re being fed a steady stream of images that you know will be in textbooks 20 years from now. 20,000+ Palestinians have been killed, over a million have been permanently displaced. Gaza is being flooded by rain and the Palestinian people are simply doing their best to stay afloat.
The New York Times took a short break from covering the sob stories of fragile zionist college students to provide clear visual evidence of what 60+ days of genocide and destruction look like. Video and satellite imagery captured in late November and early December illustrate the devastating transformation that’s taken place in much of northern Gaza. Open your eyes and take a look for yourself and recognize that none of this can happen without the support and funding of the US and other western powers.
How can we even begin to process a loss like Dr. Refaat Alareer, the Palestinian professor and writer who was assassinated in a targeted airstrike in northern Gaza last week. We can hold vigils and have famous actors read his work in front of a camera (shoutout Brian Cox), but at the end of the day, Alareer remains under the rubble where he and his extended family were murdered, denied a proper burial by his murderers. Back in October when the violence began, Refaat spoke with CNN about the trauma of being a parent during war. He asked for the audio of that interview to be shared in the event of his death. Give it a listen and remember that this is where our tax dollars are being directed.

Scamtos Exposes the Scam: Former congressman George Santos recently gave an unsurprising interview where he went into detail providing examples of how other congressfolk, specifically New York representative Nicole Malliotakis, are using info from classified briefings to make money on stock trades. It’s not a shock to learn that American elected officials are enriching themselves using classified information, but it’s always refreshing to see a devious diva at work
Speaking of Scammers: Y’all remember Brett Favre? The former quarterback/Wrangler® Jeans spokesperson who may or may not have but definitely did steal a bunch of money from poor folks in Mississippi? Well it appears Señor Favre was interrogated by state attorneys for nine hours earlier this week during a secret deposition about his involvement in a welfare scandal and millions of dollars in TANF (That’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) funds that somehow wound up in his hands. That’s the thing about clown behavior, it always comes back to bite you in the ass
RIP André Braugher: Legendary Chicago actor André Braugher passed away yesterday at the age of 61. You might recognize him from Brooklyn 99 (unfiltered copaganda), and there’s no denying the man’s powerful presence on a screen. I first saw Braugher’s work in middle school when they showed us the 1989 classic “Glory”, the film about an all-Black army regiment during the the Civil War. He was a legend even back then and he’ll be remembered as such
