bloody unrest at the hands of the israeli government.......Every four years, politicians and lobbyists urge citizens of the United States to participate in the “most important elections” in the history of the country. Whereas 2024 is no different in that regard, there is in fact a now-or-never sense of urgency looming over the current race to the White House. On the other side of the world, far removed from the average American’s direct line of sight, Palestine and Lebanon remain in a state of bloody unrest at the hands of the Israeli government. ‘No Revolution within Counter-Revolutionary Party’ – Dr. Stein Speaks to Palestine Chronicle
the phone in better hands....President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly spoken to Vladimir Putin about Russia's war in Ukraine, urging the Kremlin not to escalate the conflict. The Washington Post is reporting Trump took the call from his home in Florida on Thursday local time and used the conversation to remind Mr Putin of America's significant military capability in Europe. Overnight, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he and the president-elect had spoken three times in recent days. "These were good and very important conversations," Mr Netanyahu said in a statement.
see that oscar go....Hollywood and its waning political influence are both following the same trajectory. Every time there’s a US presidential election, much is made in the mainstream media of celebrity endorsements. Others promise to bail out of the country if their candidate doesn’t win. Because apparently the democracy they want is the one where the plebes do what they’re told at the voting booth by a handful of entertainers.
And the Oscar for the best Trump-related meltdown goes to… All that Hollywood A-listers’ did for Harris failed to bring her to office and some of them are now threatening to leave America...

hope........Some talking heads on radio talk to me I have no clue about what they bark about Either I’ve gone dumb, senile or darn silly They have increased their IQ beyond doubt Grabbing the grand old word democracy With little meaning peppered by senseless ideas In which Trump dot Trump does Trump dot piss In vain and derision of ugly win galore seems Cracking in my deaf ears around the seams As my comprehension is close to zero-nil They blab-on non-stop uninterrupted Without a breath spewing a word-salad meal A noise made self-important to being them Rumbling loud as farts on the way to heaven They do but don’t say it’s my fault Trump got elected But in these shivering white waves of radio hell The sword of democracy like a sacred mantra Reappears flag-bearing a pointed conversation monologue
donald's new chicken friend: david lamy.....Foreign secretary David Lammy has dismissed comments he made about Donald Trump previously as "old news". The row over the Labour politician's years-old comments has rolled on since he congratulated Trump on his historic win in the US presidential election.
“the lie in the soul”: true respect on remembrance day......While official speeches commonly cite ‘democracy’ among the causes for which Australians and our allies have always fought, we are free to wonder if that is not ‘the lie in the soul’ this Remembrance day. Remembrance Day ceremonies, especially at a local level, sincerely seek to honour the war dead, and to offer solace to the grieving. Worthy objectives. “The lie in the soul”: True respect on Remembrance Day By Douglas Newton
Illegal border crossings reached record levels under the Biden administration....Donald Trump swept to victory on Tuesday by chipping away at groups of voters which Democrats once believed would help them win the White House for a generation. After Barack Obama’s victory in 2008, many triumphantly claimed that the liberal voting coalition which had elected the first black president was growing more powerful, as the makeup of America changed.

preparing for defeat.....The second administration of US President-elect Donald Trump will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine rather than enabling it to take back all the territory it has lost to Russia, Bryan Lanza, a senior campaign advisor to the US president-elect, has said. Lanza, a veteran Republican party strategist who has worked on campaigns with Trump since 2016, made the remarks to the BBC on Saturday. While he expressed respect for the Ukrainian people, Lanza said the US priority would be to achieve “peace and to stop the killing.”
atrocities....Western media never tire of citing the atrocities of Hamas while diminishing and justifying the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, even when the majority of them are women and children. But how accurate is this portrayal of events? Atrocity propaganda: Hamas, human shields and genocide By Craig Nielsen

emissions....Are you OK? It seems an important question as the unhinged and unrestrained president Donald Trump is swept back into power and the world contemplates the implications for the climate, for civil discourse, for women, for minorities, for society as a whole, and for our children and their children.

a la bistequerie — chez macron....French President Emmanuel Macron said this week that the way for Europe to respond to President-elect Donald Trump's election victory is to become an "omnivore." Macron's Remarks"For me, it's simple. The world is made up of herbivores and carnivores. If we decide to remain herbivores, then the carnivores will win and we will be a market for them," Macron said during a speech to European leaders, Politico reported. "I think, at the very least, we should choose to become omnivores. I don't want to be aggressive, just that we know how to defend ourselves on all these subjects," Macron added.
