Just because you found an obscure X source saying it does not make it so - Iran was pounded by Israel, not the other way around.

That obscure source on X refers to an official Israeli document, which has since been pulled, because it goes against the narrative you were fed of Israel not having been pummeled.

If Israel was really unscathed, there would never have been a cease fire, Israel would have kept going, no question.

Israel already had over 40,000 civilian damage claims from Iranian missiles based on an official Israeli document, and its stock of interceptor missiles was starting to run low.




You claimed Israeli "got clobbered." Your evidence is that 40k damages claims were filed. This assessment is patently and laughably absurd. Your bias against the state of Israel knows no bounds.

I think you're projecting here, as an evangelical zionist, it is you that is irrationally worshipping Israel.

The Israeli damage claims are real, even Trump acknowledged that Israel was getting clobbered. If Israel were not getting hit, they would have never stopped, as they were also landing hits on Iran. The reason they stopped is that things were going to get a lot worse as their defensive stockpiles were dwindling.

Iran doesn't benefit from any terror operation in the US, which would push the public towards a pro-war stance, they have everything to lose from that, and nothing to gain. Iran is a very rational actor.

Israel and the MIC are stuck because there has been a pushback against another new Forever War, potentially the biggest and most volatile yet, against Iran. There is a strong anti-war faction within the America First Trump base. The neocons need to manufacture consent for this war, which Israel cannot wage alone, they got clobbered this month and pushed for a ceasefire. They want the US to wage a full war on Iran for them.

This type of messaging helps steer the public towards war, and might even prepare it for an eventual false flag event.

There were reports about sleeper cells from Iran and other places throughout the Biden administration when the borders were wide open.



This guy is the president of an Israeli advocacy group called "Foundation of Defense of Democracies", whose stated mission is to push pro-Israeli narratives.

Quote:

History and mission

FDD was founded in 2001 as "Emet" Hebrew for "Truth".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Defense_of_Democracies#cite_note-14][14][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Defense_of_Democracies#cite_note-Slate-15][15][/url] In the initial documents filed for tax-exempt status with the IRS, FDD's stated mission was to "provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America and the public's understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Defense_of_Democracies#cite_note-Slate-15][15][/url]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Defense_of_Democracies#History_and_mission

As to the messaging of that FDD post, that "fatwa" doesn't advocate for the conduct of terrorist activities, or the assassination of Trump, the framing of The Gateway Pundit, source of this tweet, is willfully loaded:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/fatwa-calling-muslims-assassinate-president-trump-issued-iranian/

Obviously Israel would greatly benefit from a terror event on US soil, it would be a godsent to their war propaganda effort, and a big negative for Iran.

What about this guy?



It's like we are back in 2001 all over again.

Perhaps you're too young to know who this guy is:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/04/ahmed-chalabi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Chalabi

Quote:

Ahmed Abdel Hadi Chalabi[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Chalabi#cite_note-3][3][/url] (Arabic: ; 30 October 1945 3 November 2015) was an Iraqi dissident politician,[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Chalabi#cite_note-profile-4][4][/url] convicted fraudster[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Chalabi#cite_note-profile-4][4][/url] and founder of the Iraqi National Congress (INC) who served as the President of the Governing Council of Iraq (37th Prime Minister of Iraq) and a Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq under Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

The guy in your tweet is an Iranian Ahmad Chalabi, an expat funded by neocons pushing for direct intervention and regime change in Iran.

Israel kicked Iran's ass. Full stop. They had complete air dominance, eliminated Iran's military leadership, military infrastructure, bomb making capability, missile capabilities, propaganda items (the doomsday clock, etc); they had the ability to take out Khameini but were stopped by Trump. The same is very likely true for overarching regime change. Israel agreed to the cease fire because Trump demanded it. They literally turned fighters around mid flight because Trump demanded it.

A country that starts a war because it is facing an existential imminent threat that has its mortal enemy on its death bed does not stop a war because of 40k insurance claims for property damage. Get real.

Israel is not "facing an existential imminent threat" from Iran, Iran is just a regional power that impedes their total domination over the middle east. They have been working on regime changing every country in the middle east that isn't subservient to them, and Iran is the last one of that list, which general Wesley Clark mentioned back 20 years ago.



41,000 property damage claims is just a small part the damage on the civilian side, the analysis I have posted above estimates the total number of claims at over 150,000. As well, the Iranians primarily targeted military sites, and that went totally unreported, due to heavy censorship:




Israel has one key weakness, its lack of strategic depth. It has a dense urban population packed in a small area. If they can't stop the missiles, Iran could wreck them with just a fraction of their conventional missile arsenal.

If this were a one-sided war, why would Trump want to stop it? Keeping it going would reinforce his negotiating position. The reason he did is that US THAAD, Patriot and Arrow inventories were running low, the war was unsustainable. Even the WSJ stated that Israel would have been without any defense in 10 more days.

Israel is a mini-military-dynamo, but, as a small country, they can only do so much.

Iran sucks, but there are a lot of decent people there. We made a huge mistake when we backed the Shah, back in the '70s.

Record decline in Social Security transfers: DOGE, BigBalls, or what?


It's probably due to whatever temporarily drove a huge spike in the few months before coming to an end. This latest number is about where things would have been if the plot had followed it's historical trajectory.
My guess: The spike is the one-time effect of the retroactive payment of a year's worth of spousal benefit to individuals who now get the benefit because the government pension offset was rescinded. As my wife is a retired California public school teacher, she's one of those beneficiaries. She received over $20.000 that month, the amount she will receive annually from now on. The total for the five retired teachers with whom maintains contact exceeded $100,000.

She now makes $15,000 more a year than she ever did teaching. What a country.

On another note, the mindless posting of this graph, with no attempt to understand what's causing the anomaly, is emblematic of how worthless a lot (most?) of what you see on the internet is.

Trump pushing legislation to help send the Florida Panther to extinction along with other Endangered Species.

The proposed rule "cuts the heart out of the Endangered Species Act," Greenwald said. "If (you) say harm doesn't mean significant habitat degradation or modification, then it really leaves endangered species out in the cold."

According to AI Chat, their plummet started in 2018 and correlates to their rebrand, decision to go all electric and other things, such as the marketing campaign. Sales have gone from 180K in 2018 to 33k in 2024. They've only had 33 cars registered in all of Europe through end of April, 2025.

Agnostic. It's the DC game heading us off a financial cliff. The lesser of evils?

I support accepting 90-100% of the DOGE cuts, cutting Medicaid to illegal immigrants, and taking our Federal budget back to pre Covid plus inflation ($1 Trillion deficit). The Lobbyists, MIC, and Swamp are running the show.

Bring a single item bill to cut the above Medicaid costs. Push for a vote.

The problem is Trump didn't run on cutting the deficit, say we add $6 Trillion his term (slowing the yearly deficit to $1.5 Trillion), that still puts us then $43 Trillion in debt. Even if interest rates drop, it's ugly. If a Democrat gets in, they'll spend even more. So then we're $50 Trillion in debt?

When's the Military cut?

The problem is Trump didn't run on cutting the deficit.

And he also increased the National Debt by $8.2 TRILLION during his presidency from 2017 to end of 2021.
Roughly $3.6 Trillion of that was spent on Covid pandemic relief.

From $20.2 Trillion to $28.4 Trillion.

That's why this whole DOGE thingie is nothing more than a charade.

Correct, it happened during Trump's first term, Nancy Pelosi was so excited about the Covid pandemic "relief" and you voted for Nancy because you too were completely onboard with it!
