"The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously condemned an Israeli strike on a residential compound in Doha, Qatar that targeted senior Hamas figures. The council’s statement—supported by all 15 members, including the United States, did not explicitly name Israel, but made clear its objections to the strike."

Piers Morgan: "It's a statement by the Royal Family: we're going to roll out the ultimate red carpet — and again, just to stress, I've not seen this done for any other world leader. This is unprecedented."

"Stargate SG-1 is remembered for its pulp thrills, its banter, and its love of myth. But beneath the costumes and the camp was a very real strategic meditation on power. The Goa’uld were technologically superior, militarily dominant, ancient and entrenched. Yet they fell to a single team of Earthlings because they had no concept of modern war, no capacity for adaptation, and no understanding of why people fight.

"It is no coincidence that this show arrived as America was transitioning from the Cold War to the War on Terror. Just as SG-1 thrived on asymmetric warfare, America would soon discover that being the most powerful nation in history did not guarantee victory against enemies who fought with ideology, insurgency, and persistence rather than fleets and armies."

Attorney General Pam Bondi in an interview with conservative outlet "The Bulwark":

"There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

Admin note 📜: Reaction to this has been almost universally negative ranging from sober condemnemnation to outright lampooning her seeming inability to deliver or even stay on message with the admin's rhetorical heavyweights like Vance and Miller.

"The former head of the Israeli Shin Bet security service has been accused in German and Israeli media of involvement in the late 2023 kidnapping of the two children of German heiress Christina Block.

"Block, the heiress to the German ‘Block House’ steakhouse empire, is accused by German prosecutors of orchestrating the kidnapping of her two children, 13yo Clara and 10yo Theodor, from their father Stephan Hensel. 81yo former Shin Bet head Yaakov Peri allegedly assembled a team of eight Israeli operatives to carry out the kidnapping, including ‘Tal S’, who was arrested in Cyprus a year ago and put into pre-trial detention in Germany and testified last week to the court in Hamburg that he took part to do a ‘favour’ for the children."

Optics matter.

The President of the United States today was personally leading the Royal Honor Guard of His Majesty the Windsor King, with the King trailing behind both the President and the Guardsmen, in literally last place.

This is not inattention.
This is purposeful choreography.

The message?

You work for me, now.

NEW:

🇺🇲🇮🇱Tucker Carlson said that Charlie Kirk told him at a TPUSA Student Action Summit last July to highlight Epstein’s connections to Mossad.

Distinguishing between Netanyahu and the State of Israel, Carlson claimed that Kirk hated Netanyahu and his war against Gaza despite loving Israel, and that Kirk was “tormented” until the day he died by Zionist donors for platforming Carlson at his event.

Two days before Kirk’s death, Carlson revealed that Kirk lost a $2 million donation for pledging to platform him at TPUSA’s December AmericaFest conference.

Now They Care

The Hollywood stars who have supported and celebrated deplatformings, debankings, and crackdowns on “hate speech” are now worried about the pendulum swinging back on them. Which, of course, it is, because that is the nature of pendulums. Hollywood celebrities have rushed to defend Jimmy Kimmel after he was ‘indefinitely’ taken off the air because of comments about Charlie […]

VP JD Vance: "If you encourage or fund your fellow Americans, or anybody else, to commit acts of violence because you disagree with political speech, you are going to be treated like a terrorist organization — and we're going to go after you."
