Apparently the new Blade movies is being delayed because Disney can’t figure out how to insert a lame lesbian main character without pissing off everyone who thought they were working on a movie about a cool black dude who kills vampires by the truckload.

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

A criminal named Biden convicted by a jury in Delaware?

Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime Tuesday after a federal jury found him guilty of lying about his drug use in order to buy a gun.
The panel of six men and six women deliberated for three hours across two days before convicting the 54-year-old of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of or addict to a controlled substance.
Prosecutors from special counsel David Weiss’ office had argued President Biden’s son knowingly fibbed on a gun application form that he did not use controlled substances before walking out of a Wilmington shop with a Colt Cobra .38-caliber revolver on Oct. 12, 2018.
In fact, Hunter Biden was hooked on crack cocaine at the time, a fact he acknowledged in his own 2021 memoir — which prosecutors used as evidence against him.
The first son stared at the jury and made no visible reaction as the foreperson read the verdict. Hunter’s wife Melissa sat in the gallery behind him, next to her husband’s “sugar brother,” attorney Kevin Morris.
The first son faces up to 25 years behind bars — though a lighter sentence is much more likely since he has no prior convictions.

This is incredible. I never thought it was possible. If you’re a Biden and you can’t beat the rap in Delaware? Man . . .

FMJRA 2.0: Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Another good week for my Senators, who took two of three from the A’s and then another two of three from the Dodgers on a roadtrip through California. I credit the offense’s awakening to right-fielder John Lowenstein, whose batting average is a mere .220, but who draws a lot of walks, belted three homers against the Dodgers, and has a decent arm. We face Boston in a two-game series Tuesday, which I think I’m going to reschedule since I expect to be on the road back from Las Vegas that day. We end the week at 34-40, just 3.5 games behind the Twins and four games ahead of the hapless A’s. #NoSurrender

Are There Any Innocent Palestinians?

Posted on | June 9, 2024 | 1 Comment

Why am I starting to think like this?

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Sunday that all three of the male hostages rescued on Saturday were held by Abdallah Aljamal, a “journalist” who contributed to the Palestine Chronicle and Al Jazeera.
As Breitbart News reported Saturday, four hostages — Noa Argamani, 25; Almog Meir Jan, 21; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 40 — were rescued in a joint operation by the IDF, ISA, and the Israeli police. One Israeli police officer, Arnon Zamora, was killed in the operation.
Aljamal and his wife and father were reportedly killed in the Israeli raid after soldiers entered his home.
As Breitbart News reported, he was revealed to have had another job, as the spokesperson for the Hamas-run Palestinian Department of Labor in Gaza.
But speculation also mounted that he had held one or more hostages, given that some Israeli sources said soldiers had only entered the two apartments where hostages were held.
The IDF announced:

Following the completion of IDF and ISA [Israel Security Agency] examinations of reports on the subject, it can be confirmed that Abdallah Aljamal was an operative in the Hamas terrorist organization, who held the hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv captive in his family home in Nuseirat.
The hostages were held captive by Abdallah Aljamal and members of his family in their home. This is further evidence of the deliberate use of civilian homes and buildings by the Hamas terrorist organization to hold Israeli hostages captive in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli security forces will continue to make every effort to bring the hostages home.

Journalist, terrorist — to-may-to, to-mah-to. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. When “news” organizations are employing members of terrorist organizations, when the journalist’s family home is being used to stash hostages, when it seems everybody in Gaza is part of Hamas, why not just kill every single one of those Palestinian vermin?

Well, thoughts like that could start to cross the minds of a lot of otherwise peaceful and rational people, if they were as well-informed of the situation as the average Israeli citizen. There’s a reason why Netanyahu can shrug off all foreign criticism, because the Israeli people are sick and tired of all this “peace” noise, when they are facing an existential menace.

The fuck-around-and-find-out process must continue until every last one of those Palestinian sons of bitches have found out.

Israel Rescues Hostages From Terrorists; Guess How Media Are Spinning It?

Posted on | June 9, 2024 | 1 Comment

Yaakov Argamani hugs his daughter Noa

The Jewish world celebrated Saturday after a special forces raid rescued four Israelis held hostage by the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza:

Four Israeli hostages were rescued alive from Hamas captivity Saturday in a daring daylight operation in the central Gaza Strip, the military announced.
Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, had been abducted from the Supernova music festival near the community of Re’im on the morning of October 7, when some 3,000 Hamas-led terrorists killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages in a murderous rampage in southern Israel.
Officers of police’s elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, along with Shin Bet agents, simultaneously raided two Hamas-controlled multi-story buildings in the heart of central Gaza’s Nuseirat, a joint statement said. Argamani was rescued at one site, while Meir Jan, Kozlov, and Ziv were at the second location.
Hundreds more soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces participated in the operation, according to the military.
Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the hostages were rescued by special forces while “under fire.”
Yamam Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora, who commanded the rescue team at the building where three hostages were being held, was critically wounded by Hamas fire. He was brought to an Israeli hospital, but died shortly after. The Hamas guards were killed in the exchange.

Heroic fighter dies rescuing hostages, terrorists killed — it’s the stuff of a blockbuster action film, and you would think everybody would be happy. But oh, not our “friends” in the media:

Israel rescues 4 hostages taken
in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, and
210 Palestinians are reported killed

Associated Press

Israel rescues four hostages in Gaza
but scores of Palestinians killed

Financial Times

Israel rescues four hostages in Gaza raid
that Hamas says kills 210 Palestinians

Reuters

Gaza health ministry says
Israeli hostage rescue
killed 274 Palestinians

BBC

What’s important to the media is that, no matter what the facts may be, only members of Officially Approved Victim Groups are deserving of sympathy. Arabs and Muslims are victims of racism, according to the media calculus and so, even when they murder or kidnap innocent civilians, the real victims are the Palestinians. Thus, the headlines of stories about hostages being rescued from Hamas terrorists must include whatever propaganda claim the terrorists themselves make about it.

Implied by these headlines is that Palestinians killed during this incident (whatever Hamas says the number is, the media will dutifully report as if it were a proven fact) were all innocent civilians. The fact that Hamas is at war with Israel, that Hamas started this war by deliberately targeting civilians, and that in a guerrilla-type war such as this, many “civilians” are actively involved in the fighting — never mind any of that. Also, never mind that Hamas is a brutal gang of killers who would not hesitate to tell any lie that advances their “cause” (i.e., killing every Jew on the planet).

Never mind any of that, if you work in the media, where everybody seems to assume their job is to promote whatever “social justice” narrative is in vogue at the moment. If the current thing requires them to gin up sympathy for terrorist murderers, that’s what they’ll do. And that’s how homicidal Jew-haters became the media’s new heroes.
