My thoughts regarding US 'tradcath' convert idolatry

I do believe these weirdo 'tradcath' US converts (JD Vance, Laura Ingraham, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Russell Brand, just as examples) have ever lacked sincerity. They did not participate in the Sacraments in any state of grace. They sought conversion to shoehorn in their political ideology

You can tell that liberals are white supremacists, because they believe our Genocidal white nationalist apartheid settler state is 'democratic'; that it should enjoy 'national security'; and that 'treason' against it should be condemned

On Saturday Nov 29th #Israel killed 8- and 10-year-old siblings Fadi & Juma'a Tamer Abu Assi in #Gaza, declaring the boys "a threat" & that it killed them for crossing the 'Yellow Line' which Israel itself refuses to respect.

The victims were two 9-year-old children.

It disappoints me that Stoppard accepted a knighthood, although this seems well in keeping with his regrettably quite conservative politics. I did very much enjoy his work, despite his politics. 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' was nothing short of absolutely brilliant

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88
A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter The playwright Tom Stoppard, whose playful erudition dazzled the theatregoing world for decades, has died aged 88. One of a select band of writers from any discipline to earn his own adjective – “Stoppardian” – in the Oxford English Dictionary, he delighted in the most improbable juxtapositions: philosophy and gymnastics in Jumpers (1972); early 19th-century landscape gardening and chaos theory in Arcadia (1993); rock music, dissident Czech academics and the love poetry of Sappho in Rock ’n’ Roll (2006).

Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes

1/2
• If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a “non-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to “kill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give “no quarter,” and to “double-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes. • If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder. Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads: Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are “patently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

It's really hard to understand why Schumer and Jeffries aren't screaming about the almost daily lies of Karoline Leavitt. Isn't that their job? They should be replaced before the midterms, but they probably won't be. Come on Dems. Forget tradition and alliances and put the country first.

As part of the campaign to justify more expansive aggression and occupation of Syrian territory, the Israeli Defense Minister is now claiming that Ansarallah, also known as the Houthis, are planning a "ground invasion" of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
LIVE UPDATE → FROM THE LIVEBLOG OF THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2025 Report: Katz says militias within Syria, including Houthis, are considering attack on Golan Heights 27 November 2025, 9:51 am → SHARE 02 There are currently armed groups within Syria that are considering invading the Golan Heights, Defense Minister Israel Katz said at yesterday's Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting, Kan reports. According to the report, Katz said that Israel is "not on track" for a security deal or normalization with Damascus, and is preparing for scenarios in which Syrian forces, or various militias within the country, attempt to attack Israeli communities or again threaten Syrian Druze communities. Katz told the committee that Houthis are among the forces operating in Syria, with the Iran-backed Yemeni rebel group weighing a ground invasion of the Golan Heights, the report adds.

Two Palestinian children were killed on Saturday after an Israeli drone struck a group of civilians in Bani Suheila, Khan Younis, Al Jazeera reports citing medics and witnesses. Witnesses told Al Jazeera the drone dropped a bomb near al-Farabi School, killing brothers Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi. Both were rushed to Nasser Medical Complex with critical injuries and later pronounced dead. The strike hit west of the Yellow Line, the redeployment boundary set under the October 10 ceasefire. Israeli forces also carried out ground, naval, and air attacks across Gaza on Saturday, the outlet reports. This includes air raids in Tuffah and artillery fire on al-Qarara that injured three Palestinians. Eastern Rafah was also attacked. Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha Two Palestinian children, siblings, were killed in a terrorist Israeli air strike that targeted them inside Al Farabi school in Bani Suhaila town, east of Khan Younis. Their names were Fadi and Jum’a Abu Assi

Call your elected officials. Get loud. Tell them you’re demanding public health leaders follow the science.

The science says that the COVID vaccine is not only safe, but it saves lives.

Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in children.

The kids deserve protection
luckytran.com Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · 7h
In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.

This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.
Subject: Deaths in children due to COVID-19 vaccines and CBER’s path forward Dear Team CBER, I am writing to report that OBPV career staff have found that at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination. These deaths arerelated to vaccination (likely/probable/possible attribution made by staff). That number is certainly an underestimate due to underreporting, and inherent bias in attribution. …. For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that could result in death. In many cases, such mandates were harmful. It is difficult to read cases where kids aged 7 to 16 may be dead as a result of covid vaccines. …. Putting these facts together, it is horrifying to consider that the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved. This requires humility and introspection. Vinay Prasad MD MPH CBER Director, CMSO US FDA
