Did I Miss Something?

We were all shocked by the assassination attempt on Trump…..and we all witnessed the maxi pad over the ear at the convention…..then I saw this article and thought that I may have missed something….

The first images of Donald Trump without a bandage on his ear have emerged following the failed assassination attempt earlier this month and everyone is marvelling at the lack of stitching or apparent scars on the former president.

After surviving the attempt on his life on July 13th, which left him with blood pouring from his ear, resulting in an already iconic image, Trump adopted a large white bandage on his ear which he wore to the Republican National Convention just shy of a week later.

The first images of Trump without the bandage came courtesy of a sitdown meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida, amid the highly controversial war in Gaza.

The images show that Trump’s ear appears to be relatively unscathed and doesn’t have any scarring or noticeable scabs. In one photo, Trump could even be seen showing Netanyahu where his ear was hit by the bullet.

Look closely at the photos and tell me if I missed something.

I know there was a conspiracy theory floating around about the authenticity of the claim that he was shot…..after looking at the photos I am confused (taking into consideration that the photos are real this is)….if he was indeed shot was it with a BB gun?

Please understand that I am not saying he was not shot just these photos seem to tell a different story….I was grazed by a bullet while serving in Vietnam and I still have the scar from that encounter….so….

If you like a good conspiracy then this ought to make a good one.

Just saying.

Whatcha think?

But speaking of assassination….Trump has made a bold statement…

Former President Donald Trump said in a post on his social media site Truth Social that the US should wipe Iran “off the face of the earth” if he’s ever assassinated.

After the assassination attempt on Trump, CNN reported that the US had intelligence from a single “human source” that Iran was plotting to kill him. The report offered no evidence, and Iran strongly denied the accusation. But that hasn’t stopped Iran hawks from using the claim to advance their agendas.

(Then that idiot BiBi had to add his two cents worth during his speech…)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated the claim during his address to Congress. In his post on Truth Social, Trump included a video of Netanyahu saying, “We recently learned” that Iran was threatening to kill the former president.

“If they do ‘assassinate President Trump,’ which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the Earth — If that does not happen, American Leaders will be considered ‘gutless’ cowards!”

If anyone knows how ‘gutless cowards’ act then he is a fuc*ing expert….it takes a fine upstanding individual to bomb hospitals, children and schools…BiBi like Trump is no better than a garden slug.

This whole silly speech must have the hawks like Cotton jerking off in the corner.

“We Are Not At War”

I realize that politicians have a way of skirting the truth when it suits them…..but I really hate when these same politicians blow smoke up my butt…..and Biden did just that in a recent speech….

President Biden falsely claimed in an address to the nation that the US was not at war.

“I’m the first president in this century to report to the American people that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world,” the president said.

About a half hour before Biden delivered his address, US Central Command announced that it launched new strikes targeting the Houthis in Yemen. Since January, the US has carried out hundreds of strikes in Yemen as part of a new war that has not been authorized by Congress.

US naval commanders have described the fight against the Houthis in the Red Sea as the largest naval battle the US has been engaged in since World War II. Back in April, US military officials said the munitions used in the Red Sea and other bombings Biden ordered in Iraq and Syria since October 7 had cost the US about $1 billion.

The US has also been involved in combat operations against ISIS remnants in Iraq and Syria. Earlier this month, CENTCOM said it had been involved in 196 partnered operations in both countries in the first half of 2024. US troops deployed in Syria are not welcomed by the government, making it an illegal military occupation.

At the end of 2023 and the beginning of this year, the US was fighting Shia militias based in Iraq that began targeting US bases in response to the US support for the Israeli onslaught in Gaza. In January, three US troops were killed in a drone attack on Tower 22, a secretive base in Jordan near the Syrian border.

The US launched multiple rounds of airstrikes against the Shia militias, which are part of Iraq’s security forces. The bombings enraged the Iraqi government, which asked the US to withdraw, and now the two sides are negotiating the future of the US presence.

The US has also bombed Somalia multiple times this year to support the Mogadishu-based government against al-Shabaab. The US also launched an airstrike that it said targeted ISIS in Somalia back in May.

But ‘we are not at war’…..I guess his definition of war is different from mine….but then that is what crooked politicians do….making up a reality and sell it to idiots.

Just on a whim I wanted to know how many American ships had been targeted and so far I found one…..there may be more but I found only a single incident.

I want to know why it falls on the US to police the shipping lanes when our flagged ships are not a major target.

Must we protect the whole goddamn world?
