Media: X has turned into a right-wing website CNN: actually, its pretty ideologically even Thats the funny part of this whole thing. The Left was so used to having complete ideological dominance in social media that the second it becomes even closed to balanced they think its a right-wing website. They are just so used to confirmation bias that the slightest sign of a differing opinion has them fleeing to a safe space where only their ideology is allowed to speak.

Israel set to okay 60-day Lebanon truce, but pledges to act against Hezbollah https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-set-to-okay-60-day-lebanon-truce-tuesday-but-pledges-to-act-against-hezbollah/ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene the high-level security cabinet in Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening to approve a 60-day ceasefire with the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon after more than a year of war, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Monday. At the same time, the official stressed that Israel was accepting a cessation of hostilities, not an end to the war on Hezbollah. “We don’t know how long it will last,” the official said of the ceasefire. “It could be a month, it could be a year.” Lebanese sources told Reuters on Monday that US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron were expected to announce a ceasefire imminently. In Washington, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said, “We’re close,” but “nothing is done until everything is done.” 60 days is interesting, because that also lines up pretty closely with the Trump inauguration. Israel has been remarkably effective at taking out Hezbollah. Their beeper attack, decapitation strikes on leadership, and understanding of where Hezbollah key assets were has been pretty remarkable. Hezbollah bas been pushed back from the Israeli border. With a peace deal in place this also frees up Israeli troops to keep hunting down Hamas.

Lol After everything, its Trump that winds up getting Gaetz out of Congress.

It wasnt. There are multiple videos out there where during the fight Tyson clearly had a chance to land a major punch but he pulled back. Pretty clear this was just staged.

Really have to question why China would potentially jump into this mess by cutting these cables. Supporting via supplies is one thing, but out right destroying infrastructure is a whole other ball game. Technically, you could call it a declaration of war. NATO wont, but technically they could.

Bo Nix Thats it, thats the post.

Its truly a golden age of Memes again

Apparently its not just Disney coming back to X.

Well, this explains why Iran freaked the fuck out after the last attack. To the world it looked minimal, but Israel apparently hit a nuclear weapons facility in Iran. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/15/iran-israel-destroyed-active-nuclear-weapons-research-facility The site was an undeclared nuclear site, so it was fair game for Israel to hit it. Iran cant complain about the attack without admitting that they have undeclared nuclear facilities in the country, something which violates a whole lot of laws and treaties. The "limited" Israeli attack turns out to have been a whole lot bigger than anyone at the time thought.

Colorado's Democratic governor cheers RFK Jr. pick for HHS https://www.axios.com/local/denver/2024/11/14/jared-polis-democrat-governor-rfk-jr-hhs "What he's saying: Kennedy "will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA," Polis said in a Thursday statement on X. "What I'm most optimistic about is taking on Big Pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health." The intrigue: Polis appeared aware that his statement would be controversial. He asked people to dive deeper into the issues "before you mock him or disagree." In a subsequent social media post, Polis backtracked, saying he "will hold any HHS secretary to the same high standard of protecting and improving public health."" For all the pearl clutching at RFK, this actually is a pick that easily could have bi-partisan support. RFK is very skeptical of Big Pharma and their ability to hide from lawsuits, thinks the Gov should be able to negotiate prices, and thinks Americans should be able to import drugs from Canada. All points that a lot of Liberals make. He also is a huge champion against processed food, and thinks Obesity is our biggest health crisis. He gets a lot of shit, but hes also pretty spot on with a lot of whats causing health problems in this country. Ultra processed foods, artificial sweeteners and colors, all sorts of chemicals in our food. These are generally bad for you. Im very excited to see what he can do to help fight back on these problems.

Called it. All we are waiting for is the official pull of the nomination. Hes not getting the job.

Theres already articles, and a whole lot of chatter, in right-wing media saying this pick is doomed. Even some trumpers are saying its 4d chess because Democrats will focus on killing this and others will said through. Trying to say hes a sacrificial lamb.

Gaetz isnt getting to 50 to be confirmed. This nomination will be the first one pulled back by Trump when its clear, by Christmas, that he wont get to 50.

There are 2 Jets fan bases, only 1 may be happy at any given time, but both can be miserable at the same time. Its a law of nature at this point.

Also, Im taking the Bills over the Chiefs

OK, thats pretty good. Also, fuck Noem.

I joked for a while that Biden was sabotaging the Harris campaign, and I thought it was a joke. But maybe it wasnt, and maybe it was more than just the Harris campaign. Its been bubbling up on MSNBC this week during the Democratic infighting that Pelosi and Obama wanted an open primary after Biden backed out, but then they got boxed in because Biden endorsed Harris. Pelosi and Obama did not think Harris could win, which was the correct assumption, so they wanted the primary to get a stronger candidate. Biden, pissed off at the palace coup, then decided to endorse Harris as a way to destroy Pelosis and Obamas plan. There was no way to have even a speed primary or open convention once Biden put his fingers on the scales. This also could explain why both Pelosi and Obama were so late to endorse Harris, they simply didnt want to and wanted a different candidate. By the time they did, they didnt have a choice. Even further than that, it sounds like Jill Biden basically did whatever she could to sabotage Harris. She has never forgiven Harris for calling Biden a Racist, and that hate has simmered under their relationship for all 4 years of the Biden Admin. That hate is pretty well known, so that seems possible as well. When the tell-all books over this campaign come out its going to be a must-read.
