Columbus Day

 


And about time too. Thank you, Mr. President.

Have a good one and while you're at it, why didn't any female hostages survive? Just asking.

Cheers,

LSP

That cartoon reminds me of the end of the Mel Gibson movie, Apocalyto.

Well, it's a nice moment in the sun for all hands, if the viciousness of the attacks and fate of most of the hostages can be ignored.

But because the trajectory of this thing trends downward, or maybe upward depending on how one chooses to graph it, eventually the Israelis are gonna have to go back in there and mow the grass again, and it will almost certainly be worse next time. As the barber always says, "Next!"

Oh, please give us a break! The sheer Gall of Antony Blinken slithering out from under his rock, in the swamp of irrelevance to claim a sliver of credit for Trump’s Gaza ceasefire deal is almost too absurd to stomach. As it is to much to even think that ANYONE from the failed Biden administration had any success in this Historical Peace, or had even tried!

This is the guy who fumbled through his FAILED tenure as Secretary of State like a drunk toddler in a china shop, leaving a trail of diplomatic disasters from Kabul to Kyiv. And now, this forgettable Clinton-era lackey and now wants a gold star for Trump’s historic peace deal? Spare me. Well take this note! He Ain’t Gonna Get It!

Blinken’s big claim is that Trump “built on” some mythical Biden-era “framework.” Right. Because nothing screams “master plan” like Biden’s Middle East policy a flaming cocktail of appeasing Iran, finger-wagging at Israel, and throwing cash at NGOs too incompetent to negotiate a lunch order. Their January “ceasefire” collapsed faster than Biden’s attention span at a briefing. Yet here comes Blinken, dusting off his resume, whining, “That was our idea!” Pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it. The only thing that Biden had ever done was to “whisper the word “Don’t”. And that was only during the few hours that he was AWAKE!

Trump didn’t build on Biden’s wreckage—he bulldozed it. The Middle East didn’t need Blinken’s limp handwringing or Biden’s moral mush. It needed strength, clarity, and someone who didn’t apologize for America’s existence. Trump delivered: hostages freed, guns quiet, Arab states at the table. Blinken? He delivered talking points and a masterclass in groveling.

The irony’s so rich it could buy a small country. After four years of Biden-Blinken “diplomacy” setting the region ablaze, the only one who could douse the flames was the man they spent their careers smearing. And now Blinken wants a participation trophy? IT'S Laughable.

This is Tony Blinken: a spineless, ladder-climbing toady whose loyalty to political dynasties dwarfs any shred of competence. A bureaucrat who’d rather kiss up to the Clintons than stand up for America. His “leadership” was a masterclass in hesitation, confusion, and failure—leaving allies distrustful and enemies emboldened.

So, take a bow, Tony. You’ve finally found a way to piggyback on someone else’s triumph. Decades of bumbling, bootlicking, and blending into the wallpaper, and you think you’ve earned a footnote in history. Newsflash: you don’t get credit for a victory you couldn’t even dream of, let alone achieve. Trump made peace happen. You just watched from the sidelines, clutching your talking points like a security blanket.

History will remember who actually delivered and who just pretended to know what they were doing. And just incase your memory is to short, Biden Dropped the Ball very early, as if he didn’t even care about it at all, and it was Donald J. Trump who once again did the hard work and he was the one who succeeded. Yes Donald Trump Won Again
And please! Enough already with that stupid "Trump Was Going after His POLITICAL Enemies!" That NEVER Happened! There wasn’t any need for it. Obama and Biden were total failures. It was Donald J. Trump who made peace happen. Biden created the current wars, Trump ended them. And Donald Trump DESERVED THE NOBLE PEACE PRIZE

An epic rant. Good one.

From my meandering historical research... I once read that the Spaniards were looking to trade/talk until they took ONE look at these practices. Then it was lights out. It was like they were in the midst of aliens who would eat you. Very tired of the vilification - I would fight that to the ground. Current context?

LSP said...

Same here, Ed.

LSP said...

Dam straight, Beans.

LSP said...

I get that, Wild, sadly.

LSP said...

Mr. Salvatore, I applaud you. Rock on. Can I post your comment?

LSP said...

Deffo, Paul.

LSP said...

Seamus, I think you're on target.

Muslims have a long and full history of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. The more radical the muslims are, the worse they are at doing the worst wrong thing at the worst wrong time.

I am surprised that Hamas hasn't farked up yet. I guess we'll see once the bodies start returning and Israeli coroners and forensic techs start seeing the obvious things. If Hamas doesn't just start mortaring, rocketing and shooting into Israel.

I tried to be that open-minded, turn-the-other-cheek, forgive-them Christian. Tried.

Nope. There is no existing with muslims.

And for all those out there, even the worse horrors of The Crusades were and are far less than normal day-to-day living under islam as a non-muslim.
