Damn! Labelled Again!

Since I was 16 years old I have had Left leanings and because of that I have been labelled as ….well you know all those insulting names that conservs can think of (but it is not really thinking for that eludes them)……

Since Donny has been playing his version of the game of Risk in the Middle East I have been crapping on his ill-conceived plans every chance I get…..well apparently Donny thinks people that do not appreciate his brand of stupid are……TRAITORS.

President Trump is defending his Iran war strategy, attacking critics and skeptics on Monday as “TRAITORS, ALL” after a second round of talks with Iran were thrown into doubt by the US Navy’s seizure of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz. It was the first such interception since the US blockade of Iranian ports began last week, and Iran’s military vowed to respond, the AP reports.

  • Trump said Vice President JD Vance, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and envoy Steve Witkoff would be going in Islamabad on Monday, where Pakistani officials were preparing the venue, but Iranians made no commitment to a Round Two of talks with the US, and Vance’s motorcade was later spotted at the White House.
  • A senior Iranian official tells Reuters that Tehran, which had ruled out attending peace talks in earlier statements, is “positively reviewing” proposals for talks this week but no final decision has been made.
  • Trump appeared to throw cold water on hopes for an agreement, telling Bloomberg he’s “highly unlikely” to renew the ceasefire before it expires. He said the truce will expire “Wednesday evening Washington time.”
  • In the leadup and throughout the seven-week war, Trump has faced criticism from the left and from some of his own supporters that he followed Israel’s lead into launching the conflict. But Trump on social media is blaming the media for pushing what he claims is a false narrative. “Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” Trump said in a Monday Truth Social post.
  • The escalating standoff threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy after nearly two months of fighting that Iran’s forensic chief has killed at least 3,375 people in Iran.
  • Israel and Lebanon, meanwhile, said they would join another round of talks in Washington, DC, on Thursday, continuing their first direct diplomatic talks in decades.

His so-called policies are idiotic at best…..Iran does not need nukes…..it can control the Straight of Hormuz….bringing oil shipments to a screeching halt.

As long as I am a ‘traitor’ let me continue….the best the US can accomplish is a stalemate with Iran…that’s right I read it right…..stalemate.

Why would I say that?

With a shaky ceasefire in place between the US, Israel and Iran – and little progress on talks to resolve the complex issues at the heart of the war – where is this conflict going?

The most likely scenario is a frozen conflict.

A frozen conflict is not static, but is an unresolved war that continues at a low-level below the threshold of full-scale combat.

This typically occurs when a comprehensive political agreement cannot be reached, such as the fighting in eastern Ukraine from 2014 until Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. This conflict was considered frozen despite the deaths of some 14,000 military personnel and civilians and persistent cyber and information warfare.

Even if negotiations resume this week in Pakistan and an eventual agreement is reached, there are still three reasons we believe this is headed towards a frozen conflict, not a comprehensive peace agreement.

Will someone please inform this dunderhead that a ceasefire is not an end to a war.

So once again the idiots are labeling people…..the only thing missing is that damn stupid saying from the past….”America, Love It Or Leave It”

So to Donny I have but one thing to say about his label….BITE ME!

I Have A New Label!

Just a mere few weeks ago I was told by the Secretary of War that if I did not support unlimited aid for these many many wars that I was an non-interventionist.

In case you missed my label from a few weeks ago…..

Non-Interventionists Are Bad!

I explained in my post why I thought the Sec of War was speaking out his rectum.

Now Congress weighs in on people that criticize Israel…..now thanx to the House I am a anti-Semite….

This should explain it….

The House on Tuesday passed a resolution that says “anti-Zionism is antisemitism,” the chamber’s latest piece of legislation conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

The resolution, which is presented as a resolution condemning antisemitism, passed in a vote of 314-14-92. Only thirteen Democrats and one Republican voted against the legislation, while 92 Democrats voted “present” in protest of a line buried in the bill that explicitly claims anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

The Republican-drafted resolution declares that the House of Representatives “clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the most senior Jewish member of the House, criticized the language of the bill ahead of the vote. “The resolution suggests that ALL anti-Zionism is antisemitism. That is either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong. And it unfairly implicates many of my orthodox former constituents in Brooklyn, many of whose families rose from the ashes of the Holocaust,” he said.

Nadler claimed that “most anti-Zionism is antisemitism” but added that if authors of the bill “were at all familiar with Jewish history and culture, should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was, and is, expressly NOT antisemitic.”

“This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities—the Satmars in New York and others—as well as adherents of the pre-state Jewish labor movement have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception,” he said.

While coming out strongly against the language, Nadler voted “present” instead of “no.” The thirteen Democrats who voted against the bill include Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Cori Bush (D-MO), Gerald E. Connolly (D-VA), Jesús García (D-IL), Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Summer Lee (D-PA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Delia Ramirez (D-IL), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the only Republican to vote against the bill. Last week, he was the lone member of Congress to vote against a resolution that claimed “denying Israel’s right to exist is a form of antisemitism.” Explaining his opposition, Massie said the resolution also equated anti-Zionism with antisemitism, although not as explicitly as the bill passed on Tuesday.

First these well paid toadies of AIPAC wanted  to make it illegal to boycott Israel and its products….now if anyone criticizes Israel they are anti-Semitic….

What CRAP!

When it comes to religion I could care less what they believe or care to worship that is between them and the Great Spirit.

My criticism has nothing to do with religion but rather how a country that pretends to be a world citizen can act in such barbaric ways.

The Congress can kiss my ass….I will not buy any product or service that originates in Israel…..and I shall continue to criticize Israel when I think they are wrong.

So Congress take your best shots.

Has anyone asked why the Congress is so gung-ho for Israel?

The simple answer is….MONEY!

I know you think I am making this shit up….well I am not….

One of every three members of Congress boarding a jetliner on a privately-funded all-expense paid trip overseas has Israel as their final destination. Only one out of a hundred ever visits Palestinian territories as a final destination.

Analysis of Gift Travel Filings made to the US House of Representatives Office of the Clerk over the past half-decade reveals Israel is far and away their top foreign destination. House of Representatives members made nearly 1,400 trips to Israel, while total subsidized visits to foreign countries other than Israel were 2,500.

The vast majority of Israel trips are funded by the American Israel Education Foundation which raises tax-exempt contributions from pro-Israel donors and Jewish federations. They typically last eight days and cost $10,000. AEIF is a corporation created in 1988 by the domestically-registered lobbying group AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. In 2009 66% of AEIF’s board was comprised of AIPAC directors. Since AIEF is merely a lobbying funding conduit with no employees, whenever members of Congress travel to Israel, they are accompanied instead by staffers from AIPAC. In 2017 AIEF reported raising $60 million in revenue and expending $57 million. Another sole-purpose entity set up by AIPAC in 1984 is the Washington Institute for Near East Policy which works to portray policies favored by the Israeli government as being in the American interest.

Like I said….MONEY!

I raise my finger to Congress and I do not think they are number one.

Closing Thought–22Nov16

Labels…..

Before anyone gets all butt hurt….I am not accusing anyone of anything…..all I am saying is…….. it is a perception….if you take one person at their word then why not everyone?

For over a decade there has been a label used by uneducated dolts to describe anyone that does not agree with their ignorance….socialist/Marxist/ Commie….on and on….

I will agree that I use terms like d/bag, a/wad, moron etc etc…..but those are not labels for me….they are observations.  Plus I was a socialist and to lump me in with Dems is an insult…but people would know that if they had any idea of what they speak.  There is little socialistic about a Dem…you cannot be a socialist and embrace capitalism…..it is really simple…..again that would be known if there were half a brain working on the Right.

After the Trump victory I have seen a label turning up more and more…..Fascist….to be clear I do not believe that Trump is a Fascist….(please read that again so that you do  not embarrass yourself)….

Those using such label do so because they have seen a list of characteristics for Fascism and find some of them in the Trump camp…..


If one would remove one’s head from one’s ass and use a wee bit of commonsense then one could see where this could be believed….what is that saying…”If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck” then you are probably looking at a duck.

And stuff like this does not help the conversation what so ever…..

A private banquet dinner, a reality-TV star, and a tweet showing a Nazi salute have placed a DC Italian restaurant in the center of controversy. Maggiano’s Little Italy hosted a dinner Friday for a group that had a conference in DC the next day, apparently without knowing the group was the National Policy Institute, known for its white nationalist members, Washington City Paper and the Washington Post report. How the restaurant became clued in: a protest against NPI that formed at the eatery, followed by dinner attendee Tila Tequila sending out a tweet showing herself and two men performing the Nazi salute along with the caption “Seig [sic] heil!”

I still will not use the term…I may change my mind at a later date….but for now I will not use them.

On the other hand the uneducated dolts on the Right keep using a term they do not understand then they should not be offended when the other side does the same.

Do I need to use another awful cliche?
