Holding my breath, but not too optimistic. If you present Michigan voters a duality choice, it’s an edge to Harris. If you ask them their choice on an open ballot, the Muslim protest vote is pretty firm on either Jill Stein, Harris, or staying home.

Go vote people! Michigan is basically a required win for Harris to become president, but was uncomfortably close in 2020.

It’s an angry buzzing sound that is very distinct, you can usually hear them from dozens of meters away.

Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”

It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔

Just shy of $18 billion for Israel. Nearly unlimited diplomatic cover and significant patron:client posturing that has Ukraine and Taiwan jealous. US troops, deployed using US weapons, to defend Israel.

Contrast that to hand wringing about “now that Haniyeh /Nasrallah /Sinwar/ ??? is dead, we need a ceasefire”, the refusal to demand more aid trucks daily and prevent famine, or hollow commitments to a two-state solution, without any action - of course it’s optics.

This activity unfortunately has a long history in the occupied territories.

Palestinians were forced to remove suspicious objects from roads, tell other Palestinians to come out and surrender themselves, physically shield soldiers while they fired, and more. In 2005, the High Court of Justice ruled the practice unlawful, yet… in most cases, no one was held accountable

Die jaded, or die tired.

Even an average FPV pilot can wreck infantry out in the open, the better pilots will make multiple dives before committing to a good angle/direct impact. You can’t outrun a drone, REBs don’t cover all frequencies, and shooting them down is hard.

Iran and Israel played their shadow war, mostly contained to Syria and the Golan Heights/Southern Lebanon for years.

Then after Oct7 Israel threw out the unspoken ‘rules of the game’ and started thwacking Iranian proxy force’s political and military leadership. A new tit-for-tat grew, with Hezbollah and the Houthis responding for Iran.

Israel strikes an Iranian embassy, killing Iranian diplomats and IRGC members. A new escalation.

Iran responds with their extremely telegraphed ‘show of force’ missile/drone attack, doing little damage to Israel, giving the IDF and IAF an easy PR win to shoot down all the Iranian missiles.

Israel quickly escalates again by killing Nasrallah and directly striking Hezbollah, before their ground invasion of Lebanon. Iran responds with a surprise missile attack, using the good missiles this time, and proves they can (and did) strike Israeli military facilities at will.

All of a sudden Israel delays a new escalation, but warns of severe consequences. Now that THAAD is deployed, Netanyahu approves strike plans as recently as last night purportedly.

The “ironclad commitment to Israel’s security” is directly enabling escalation in the region, and has a purported ally dog-walking the global leader. To quote Bill Clinton “Who the fuck does he think he is? Who’s the fucking superpower here?”.

The fact that this letter was leaked - unlike alleged similar communiques prior this year - screams that Israeli leadership doesn’t intend to comply, or wants to reinsert “leaving Israel defenseless ” into the US media cycle.

Biden proved with the JLOTS pier and aid airdrops that he wouldn’t couple significant aid distribution with continued weapons deliveries, and instead ran ineffectual workarounds to “be seen doing something”. Remember that 500 trucks a day was the purported minimum required aid in the spring/summer.

Cuz they print the money and set policing budgets astronomically high. A warrant requires paperwork and a judge (though FISA made that a joke), just buying it outright is far easier.

Not the first, wolnt be the last. I hate that “muh geopolitics” means our voices don’t meant shit, and Bibi gets to dog-walk the US into his wars.
