Your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a delusional narcissist with the emotional maturity of a toddler.

The Pentagon has continued to insist that it is critical that troops do ICE’s scutwork. “This ongoing support, provided in response to a May 9, 2025 request for assistance from the Department of Homeland Security includes case management, transportation and logistical support, and clerical support for the in- and out-processing of illegal aliens at ICE detention facilities,”
So ICE is going to handle disappearing people, and then the military is going to be in charge of herding them into the concentration camps.
It's a proud day for America, hmm?
How is this even a question?
They're actively murdering Palestinians - of course they don't give a shit about anyone else's minorities.
Their one and only goal is conquest. Regarding Syria specifically, their first goal was to cement their illegal occupation of the Golan Heights, and that morphed into their second goal - to expand further into Syria. Since the fall of Assad (literally beginning less than 48 hours after his government fell), Israel has moved an additional 12 km into Syrian territory and built military bases and roads and laid minefields to protect their newly acquired territory.
This stuff about the Druze, just like everything else that comes out of the Israeli propaganda machine, is just there to provide their apologists with something to spin - something with which to divert attention, just a bit longer, from the simple truth that Israel is a profoundly destructive rogue state.
Victim-blaming as national policy.
At this point, I'm not even the tiniest bit surprised.
The one reassuring thing in all of this is that it's near certain that the era in which history can be manipulated is likely over - that the advent of the internet and the proliferation of information makes it so that once the principals are out of power or dead, history is going to narrow in on the actual truth.
And the actual truth about Israel and Palestine, and the US's involvement, is very, very ugly, and I suspect that no matter how much success the psychopaths and liars have diverting from that fact currently, it's going to come out eventually, and rightly take its place as a terribly shameful part of history.
It'll of course be too late for the mass-murderers and their enablers and co-conspirators to face the consequences they so richly deserve, but it's something.
Weird that he spends all that time and effort arguing against a position I've never seen anyone take.
I mean... there are undoubtedly people who take it - if nobody else, the ones he cites - but still, I would think that if it was worth all of that effort, it would be common enough that I would've seen it.
Cynically, I have to say that it looks to me like an attempt to backhandedly support his own pet theory - that zoning regulations are to blame - through a false dichotomy.
Far and away, the most common position I've seen is not that there's an oligopoly in home building, but in home ownership - that corporations and investors are outbidding other buyers, and thereby driving up prices, then holding onto and renting those homes, decreasing the available supply of homes for sale and thus further driving up prices.
And that's not even addressed.
We already know but the average pea-brained morons don't. To the degree that they might hear about it, they just write it off as woke propaganda from Trump haters (or whatever fits their particular combination of ignorance, bigotry and wishful thinking). And they aren't going to believe it until it's streamed directly into their eyes, over and over.
Like that'll happen...
The Israelis don't just try to keep reporters out of Gaza - they murder them.
2024 was the deadliest year for journalists since records started being kept, and the vast majority were killed by Israel.
They know full well that even with their legions of amoral defenders, they couldn't weather ongoing reporting of real conditions in Gaza. They'd be exposed for the liars and murderous paychopaths they are. Their overt evil would be so obvious that even the most determined bought-and-paid-for American politicians couldn't pretend they were anything else.

That's not a failure - it's a policy.
I don't know when or why it started - my thoughts'll start drifting toward unfortunate memories and I suddenly find myself doing this thing sort of somewhere between humming and scat singing. And it's always made up - I don't hum real songs (presumably because that wouldn't be enough to distract me).
It's to the point that the two things are sort of reversed in my mind, so instead of recognizing an uncomfortable memory then catching myself humming, I catch myself humming so realize I just remembered something uncomfortable.
I catch myself humming improvised songs as a distraction.
