Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'"
Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

Trump and Israel really got the democratic party to fold in 2024, so what did we learn? next time don't back the genocidal state running troll farms and rape networks for your political opponent or go on TV repeatdly stating how much you stand with them. Hopefully this is an established lesson now.

Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?
