Israel has been at war since October 7, 2023, when Hamas fighters in Gaza launched a surprise attack that initially massacred around 1,400 Israeli citizens, soldiers and foreign nationals living there or attending the Nova music festival. The attack started the current Israeli-Hamas war with total death counts from both sides ranging from 10,000 to more than 30,000 due to discrepancies from sources on each side.
Israel has been under continual fire from Iranian terrorist proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Yemeni Houthis for the past 6 months. Last Saturday Iran launched an unprecedented attack from Iranian soil into Israel with hundreds of rockets and drones. Israeli defense forces along with American and other allied forces were able to repel the attacks without any casualties. Iran said the attack was a reprisal for an attack in Syria two weeks earlier that killed two top Iranian generals and four other people at the Iranian consulate in Damascus. Since President Biden became president, America has been besieged with wars and conflicts against our allies around the world. Within eight months of taking office, Biden scrapped previous plans of an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan. The debacle of lives lost and materiel abandoned signaled America’s adversaries the weakness of the new administration. Since then Russia has invaded Ukraine, and tensions have risen between Taiwan and China. Trump’s sanctions on Iran’s exportation of oil have been completely undone. According to Nikkei Asia, “Iran’s exports of crude oil grew by roughly 50% last year to a five-year high of about 1.29 million barrels per day, with the vast majority going to China….” And, China is selling oil to Russia. What else are these three powerful nations collaborating about? This week senators and representatives have been choosing sides to support in our foreign entanglements. Israel or Iran and its proxies? Russia or Ukraine? China or Taiwan? Remember when the legacy media touted Joe Biden as the most experienced foreign policy candidate in America history? Oh yeah! How is the Biden administration doing on our southern border? How many single men of military age from China, Russia, Africa and the Middle East have entered America? Where are they now? Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas does not know the numbers. What’s the worst that could happen? This week in Washington Congress is deciding whether to send military or humanitarian aid or both to Ukraine, Israel, or Taiwan. Not that it matters, but everyone of those dollars come from American taxpayers. Before Biden won the White House, none of those dollars would likely have gone to Ukraine before the war with Russia, or to Israel before the proxy war with Iran. It’s much more likely that those two wars would not have begun if Trump had remained Commander in Chief. So, our representatives in Washington are playing “Wheel of Fortune” with our hard-earned tax dollars. Foreign powers are dividing up the globe with their 3-dimensional games of chess. And families are sitting around dining tables dividing dwindling dollars between gasoline, groceries, and family emergencies. Foreign affairs always have huge consequences around the average family table when incompetent policy makers politicize every issue by poll numbers. We may not be fighting wars around the world, but we’ll surely be paying for them. Let’s send one word to President Biden: “Don’t!” He’ll understand. Daniel L.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Joe Xiden would rather send our money to Iran.
It's hard to tell if DL just makes things up, only reads sources that make things up or just can't comprehend what he reads.
He clearly doesn't remember timelines.
DL has no clue why it's in our national security interest to defend Ukraine. Putin has been crystal clear that he wants to reestablish not just the old Soviet Union but Katherine the Great's territory. For God's sake, how dumb can we be? Are all right wingers as ignorant about the importance of water access for our defense? Nor do you seem to have a clue about why NATO and our allies matter to US as much as we do to them!
Biden had no choice but to honor Trump's poorly thought out treaty with the Taliban which included a time line for withdrawal.
Even Bolton knows that the extreme right has gone nuts and is putting our national security at risk.
Yes the border is now and has always be porous and a problem. Geez folks , you pretend we don't have a northern border. And that no one managed to get through our southern border while Trump was in office! And, there were then and now tunnels dummies! And, you are as clueless as he is to realize there are better defenses that a wall! China learned that the hard way. You need defenders that are well equipped.
We are now oil independent and our economy is the best it's been. China selling oil to Russia? ROFL Russia doesn't need oil. Iraq is a bigger oil producer than Iran! The big three in this order are the US, Saudi Arabia and RUSSIA!
Y'all determined to stay ignorant and misinformed? Read DL and believe that ancient fellow is still has a full deck of cards!
Where are the usual bench-riders who bemoan everything this man has to say. They'll be here shortly to display their liberal colors.
We had a good border bill that would upgrade our border defense with tools from this century.
It was going to pass. TRUMP axed it! His goose steppers bowed down to him!
Lord knows Trump never read the bill but he want the campaign issue more than he wanted US to be secure!
USA owes $35T national debt, causing $1T interest per year. Are these foreign ear obligations rightfully our burden to bear?
...foreign war obligations...
It's one thing to send our troops to fight in foreign civil wars under the pretext of "nation building". It's quite another thing to commit financial and material aid to assist our liberal democratic allies who are struggling to maintain their security and sovereignty against adversaries who seek to destroy them. The financial aid bills for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, which just passed the House of Representatives, are just that.
"Putin has been crystal clear that he wants to reestablish not just the old Soviet Union but Katherine the Great's territory"
That's a bold statement, Cotton, now give us a link.
" Are all right wingers as ignorant about the importance of water access for our defense"
What water is it that is vital to our defense, that we are in danger of losing?
bronze age fairytails and the great Orange bible salesman are our only hope ....
why is this state last in everything , i mean everything ...
12:57 has more paper tigers than an origamy museum.
Take your meds, 12:57. If you've already taken them, double up and take more. Calm the hell down.
The problem most thinking Americans have with the Ukraine situation is Pervy Joe giving away money as if he's an independent operator and need not involve another damned soul in emptying the cash drawer and handing it over to the clown who is leader of Ukraine.
If you can't see that, hell, triple your meds!
China buys oil from Russia unlike what DL says.also, Iran bombed an American base while Trump was President. I'm sure DL remembers that. That is just 2 corrections to this delusional rant.
"Biden had no choice but to honor Trump's poorly thought out treaty with the Taliban which included a time line for withdrawal"
Give a link to support this statement.
I can usually ride with D.L., but he's gone fruitcake nutty this time.
Merkins are mind conditioned to fear that right now just over the horizon is some foreign hoard led by The New Hitler who are all going to come at any second and kill us all. Putin in Russia. Mao in China -- wait, wait, Deng Xioping -- no, wait wait -- Xi in China, Saddam, the Ayatollah, Noriega in Panama, Castro -- the list may well be endless. Yet none of them ever came, never even approached coming. And they never would've. They had or have not the means to transport half a million soldiers to a Vietnam or an Iraq.
But Congress and the Fed ceeate money from thin air for Ukraine, for Taiwan, for Israel, while Americans can't repair aging infrastructure, still don't have high-speed rail, jobs and entire industries lost to overseas competition while the CEOs and politicians live luxuriously.
America can't control its own border; its too busy controlling borders in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
12:57 was probably nice before he/she lost touch with reality.
Alexis De Tocqueville, in his book “Democracy in America”, wrote:
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money”.
(Whether he originated and stated this quote in this exact verbiage is debatable. It's an obvious truism.)
Today we confirmed, Congress knows beyond a shadow it can ignore the people and vote itself any amount of the other people's money, with no accountability.
Back in the 80's as American's we had a great time watching Russia get bested in our covert war and go bankrupt in Afghanistan. You need to know that tonight, the Russians are toasting with their best, while they return the favor to us.
1:00 pm - there's no need for a 'border bill'. All Joe needs to do is reinstitute all the measures in process (instituted by Trump) that he killed by Executive Order his first week in office.
There was no such thing as a 'border bill'.
Lol! Look at all the blue hairs back peddling to support spending money on wars. A “good border bill” please explain what else was in there blue hairs?
So what America needs is a convicted felon and liar shaping foreign policy and international relations? I don’t think so.
Even Bolton knows that the extreme right has gone nuts and is putting our national security at risk.
Just told us how ignorant you are. Bolton IS the extreme right and warmonger. He wants to bomb anyone and everyone. He needs to shut up and sit down.
Now that aid to Ukraine has passed, anyone care to guess how long the Speaker has ? As folks begin to actually think about the next election and its consequences , what will they decide ?
April 21, 2024 at 4:42 AM, well, just vote sleepy Joe out in the next election.
@1019
Sleepy Joe has been campaigning all week while dealing with foreign policy. Trump fell asleep in court for a case that stems from him trying to cover up paying for sex. You keep loving that guy.
and the difference from Bill Clinton is?
NDA's are standard practices in agreements. There is nothing criminal about that agreement. Seem to remember Bill Clinton paying off a settlement to Paula Jones.
April 21, 2024 at 2:58 PM, are you urinating on my leg, and telling me it's raining? Your hero, sleepy Joe, tried to imitate Trump, by going to a neighborhood convenience store, and failed miserably.
I don't love the guy, I have never voted for Trump, but I'm tempted, too. You're talking about Trumps shortcomings, sleep Joe is nothing short of a worldwide embarrassment. For goodness’ sake, he told the world that his uncle was eaten by cannibals. That's just the most recent whopper.

Difference is Bill Clinton didn't pay for it.
The difference is that Bill Clinton didn’t use business funds to pay off a porn star and try to classify that as a bonafide business expense.
If he’d cut a check to Cohen or to the porn star directly from his personal account, he wouldn’t be on trial.
If you paid off a mistress using business funds and then classified it as a legal expense, you’d should be on trial to.
Clinton lied about fucking an intern. Also bad. And he perjured himself. A crime. He should have been charged with that. Period. But that doesn’t excuse Trump’s actions.
April 21, 2024 at 7:42 PM, so, you have already convicted Trump? What happened to the presumption of innocence?
@8:51 it's an open and shut case. Pecker's and Hick's testimony will doom him from the start. Forget about Cohen and Daniels they are just the icing.
April 22, 2024 at 7:46 AM, in other words, you're too biased to give the man a fair trial. But, that's usually the case with small-minded people.
@4:10 - remember when Donald thought injecting bleach might be a solution to Covid?
Remember when Donald stared at the solar eclipse without any protective glasses?
Remember when Donald discussed how he was allowed to do whatever he wanted to women because he was famous?
Remember when Donald forgot the colors of the American flag while coloring in a children’s classroom?
Remember when Donald forgot the words to the Lord’s Prayer?
These can go on for months, there’s just so many facepalm moments when the moron was running the show. If you are judging by worldwide embarrassment, Donald Trump is the GOAT.
