I'm kind of expecting....
Trump to take some form of credit.

Harris to only speak (and laugh?) and say "when we fight we win" - if asked.

Image




Biden to possibly make a statement - if he has a moment of clarity today and remembers what Israel and Hamas are. Otherwise, someone may use his social media platforms to release a statement on his behalf - while people assume it was actually him.

It’s a great day, Sinwar is dead and the B2 bombers are blasting the Houthis to smithereens! Just hope the baby milk factories didn’t get hit.

Yahya Sinwar is dead. This should be an opportunity to accelerate peace talks, but Netanyahu won't have that.

In case I haven't said it here recently, FUCK Netanyahu.

We should cut off aid until Bibi and his asshole government allow food, water, medical supplies, humanitarian aid, etc., into Gaza.

That would be ok but how then do we keep Hamas from intercepting the supplies. Hamas belief-Victory or Death!

Israel says it's conducting strikes on "military targets in Iran"

Israel’s military is “conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” it said in a statement early on Saturday local time, after reports emerged of explosions heard in Tehran.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the strikes are a response to Iran, which has been “relentlessly attacking” Israel since October 7th “on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil.”

“Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond,” the statement added.
The IDF also warned that its “defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized.”

Remember: Earlier in October, Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel after the killing of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah and others. The region has been bracing for Israel’s response for weeks.

Oil extends gains after-hours on reports Iran preparing Israel attack

Crude oil futures finished modestly higher Thursday, than ramped up after-hours following a report that Iran is preparing to attack Israel from Iraqi territory in the coming days.

Israeli intelligence believes Iran is preparing to carry out its attack using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles through pro-Iran militias in Iraq, Axios reported.

Such an attack would raise the possibility of a strong response from Israel that could include Iranian oil infrastructure.


Crude oil jumped as much as 3% on the news before pulling back, currently up less than 2%; front-month Nymex crude for December delivery (CL1:COM) had settled +0.9% in regular trading to $69.26/bbl, and front-month December Brent crude (CO1:COM) ended +0.8% at $73.16/bbl.

...Oil futures already had gained ground after China reported manufacturing expanded up in October for the first time in six months, possibly indicating that government stimulus measures are having an effect.

U.S. crude and products inventory withdrawals and the possibility of OPEC+ again postponing output increases planned for December.

The possibility that OPEC+ would postpone a planned oil production increase also supported prices; Reuters reported Wednesday that a decision could come as early as next week.

Also, U.S. oil production rose 1.5% in August to a monthly record high of 13.4M bbl/day, topping the prior record 13.31M bbl/day in December 2023, the EIA reported.

August output in Texas increased 1.7% to a record 5.82M bbl/day, and output in New Mexico jumped 2.8% to a record 2.09M bbl/day.

Gee, good question Trad! Dumbfucks got what they deserved! Right?

I'm thinking I'm going to go out and kill me some Palestinians today because.....

For some context, Yospeh Haddad is an Arab Israeli journalist who is "pro Israel". He spoke at a synagogue that is on Michigan Avenue in a busy part of the city.
SUPPOSEDLY there were multiple people who had intent to severely injure if not kill him.





Which also brings me to.....



and....




Here is my point. I'm fucking sick and tired of it. It just goes around and around and around and around and around.
They did this, they did that, they did this, they did that.
BOTH "sides" need to fucking stop!
