About Those Palestinian Casualties

Murray Stewart

Let’s accept the terrorist organisation Hamas numbers.

They claim prior to Oct 7 to have 40,000 soldiers

They claim there has been over 30,000 deaths.

How many of those 30,000 deaths were Hamas soldiers?

I’ll guess 25,000. Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong.

Now let’s look at the innocent deaths

Hamas claims 500 innocent women and children were killed when a rocket exploded over a hospital car park

That was a misfired Palestinian rocket. So there are 500 deaths solely caused by the Palestinians killing their own people.

How many other have they killed?

They have fired about 40,000 rockets at Israel. Over 25% of them misfire. How many innocent Palestinians have died from those misfired rockets?

I would say the vast majority of civilian deaths have been killed by Hamas and their terrorist allies. Feel free to explain to me why that is wrong.

Tim adds:

See  thisto see the sneaky way Hamas arrives at these numbes. Remember, all of the data comes from the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Imagine if during WWII we had the German death count coming from Goebbles.

The Color of (Hydrogen) Money

Diane Kimura

If you thought the green energy push was expensive, "green hydrogen" will become the next agenda to justify taxpayer funded subsidies.

Facts matter and the old invented marketing term of "fossil fuels" is totally incorrect.

Oil, natural gas and coal are *natural hydrocarbons* and are not made from fossils, and are not in short supply.

About a century ago, Rockefeller coined the marketing buzzword "fossil fuel" to imply there was a scarcity of oil, and to try to increase the price of his oil based on the implied scarcity of oil.

Hydrocarbons are *not* made from decayed dinosaurs.

From the article:

"Exxon CEO Darren Woods went so far as to suggest that the US would not meet its net-zero emissions target for 2050, partly due to the high cost of renewable H2, he said during an appearance at energy conference CERAWeek, according to energy website E&E News.

"One of the challenges here is while society wants to see emissions reduced, nobody wants to pay for it,” Woods said.

"There’s a hesitancy for people to sign up for low-carbon hydrogen.”

Aramco CEO Amin Nasser told delegates that, in energy terms, the cost of green H2 amounted to the equivalent of $400 per barrel of oil — roughly five times the current price.

He added that renewable hydrogen would only be affordable with a "significant amount of [government] incentives and offtake agreements of at least 15 years” — but that companies are wary of starting businesses that are only profitable with subsidies and would then be unable to make money if those were taken away.

Nasser also said during a panel interview that the energy transition is "visibly failing”.

"A transition strategy reset is urgently needed and my proposal is this:

We should abandon the fantasy of phasing out oil and gas and instead invest in them adequately reflecting realistic demand assumptions,” he said, to applause from the audience.

Woods also told the conference that Exxon would not produce any blue hydrogen — made from fossil gas with carbon capture and storage — unless the proposed renewables-focused guidelines to access the hydrogen production tax credit (PTC) were amended to allow methane-derived H2. ..."

Tim adds:

Hydrogen must be made and it takes more energy to create it than it gives back. It's a loser. I would add it emits water vapor - which is itself a greenhouse gas, the primary greenhouse gas. Of course, if made from water it simply returns to it's natural state, but so? Natural gas simply returns to it's natural state -carbon dioxide and water.

The fact is carbon dioxide is not a problem and has only been made to be such by a power-hungry international order and alarmist media. At 0.04% of the atmosphere we are talking about 4 molecules in every TEN THOUSAND molecules of air. And of those less than one of them are anthropogenic.

BTW,we don't know how much is anthropogenic. The Pandemic saw a 25% reduction in industrial carbon dioxide emissions and yet atmospheric CO2 continued to rise at the same rate, suggesting it is in fact a natural phenomenon. Oh, and of course the world's main atmospheric test sight is on the lip of an active volcano. Go figure.

This is a profoundly stupid argument we're having as a civilization.It's a generation-long War of the Worlds scare, nothing more.

As for the colored hydrogen, must EVERYTHING be rainbow transgendered these days?

Suddenly Gaza

Diane Kimura

The Muslim blogger, Hoda Janat, is shocked by what she has learned about Gaza since the beginning of the war. In a bold post, she describes what she learned from the war process and reveals the good and comfortable life to which the residents of Gaza and the leaders of the Hamas organization have become accustomed thanks to Israel's consideration. The post exposes the hypocrisy of the Hamas organization about the supposed situation of the Gazans which was so bad before the war,

And so she publishes:

1. We suddenly discovered that in the Gaza Strip, where 2 million people live, there are 36 hospitals. There are Arab countries with a population of 30 million that do not have that many hospitals.

2. Surprisingly, we discovered that Gaza receives free water, electricity, gas and fuel from Israel. Of course, there is not a single Arab citizen anywhere else in the world who does not pay for water, electricity and gas.

3. We suddenly found out that Gaza receives 30 million dollars a month only from Qatar. And 120 million dollars a month from UNRWA. And 50 million dollars a month from the European Union. And 30 million dollars a month from America. There are Arab countries drowning in debt and can't find anyone who can give them even a million dollars.

4. Suddenly we discovered that there is no "siege" on Gaza and all goods flow there and the borders are open. The Gazans went to Egypt and from there to all over the world.

5. Unexpectedly, we discovered that Arabs live better in Gaza than in many Arab countries.

6. Suddenly we discovered that our minds were programmed by the lies of the Muslim Brotherhood media.

7. Suddenly we discovered that the children in Gaza are not children as we normally imagine children, but terrorist children with machine guns and suicide belts who have undergone special training by Hamas.

8. We suddenly discovered that the schools, hospitals and mosques in Gaza are organized terrorist headquarters and ammunition depots with underground tunnels of Hamas.

9. We suddenly discovered that in Gaza there is an underground "metro" of Hamas that extends over 500 km, which Israel can only envy.

10. Suddenly we discovered that the so-called doctors and teachers in Gaza turned out to be active Hamas terrorists.

11. Suddenly we discovered that rockets and mortars are kept in children's rooms in Gaza homes.

12. Suddenly we discovered that Hitler and his book "Mein Kampf" were very popular in Gaza, and its Arabic translation was in almost every house in Gaza, or a portrait of the author.

13. Suddenly we discovered that Gazans live a life of luxury, with multi-story mansions with swimming pools and premium German cars.

14. We suddenly discovered that there is no Israeli blockade in Gaza because it still borders its Muslim sister Egypt.

15. We suddenly discovered that most of the "citizens" in Gaza support Hamas and other terrorist groups, elected Hamas in democratic elections and celebrated the massacre on October 7.

16. We suddenly discovered that the so-called reporters and journalists in Gaza who work for the Western media CNN, AP, Reuters and others turned out to be Hamas terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre.

17. We suddenly discovered that the so-called 'peace activists' and 'workers of international human rights organizations' of the UN, the Red Cross and the WHO, turned out to be terrorists and corrupt Hamas.

18. We suddenly discovered that each of the Hamas leaders is a billionaire and richer than President Trump, with a net worth of 4-5 billion dollars each.

And to conclude, the Muslim blogger exposed the mask of hypocrisy of Hamas in Gaza in a series of tweets that shook the Arab world.

For those of you who doubt the truth of these things, here is a link to the blogger's Facebook page, you will be surprised by the things she puts online with tremendous courage

Biden's Accomplishments

Jules Kunofsky

I Googled Biden's accomplishments :

"Top Accomplishments "

."Lowering Costs of Families' Everyday Expenses."
."More People Are Working Than at Any Point in American History."
."Making More in America."
."Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic."
."Rebuilding our Infrastructure. "
."Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans."

It should have said:
. Weaponized government against opposition parties.
. Ignored the Supreme Court rulings to get votes.
. Supported Biological men in women's locker rooms and sports participation.
. Trusted the Taliban for security in Afghanistan, resulting in a terrorist attack killing American military.
. Reduced drilling and fracking and allowing global energy prices to increase, benefitting terrorist States like Iran.
. Increased global wars on his watch.
. Opened the border of the US to illegal aliens, including drug cartels, sex traffickers, foreign terrorists and prisoners, resulting in the further destruction of sanctuary cities.

There are more, much more, much, much more!!!! The President of gas lighting the American people. The divider in chief. The gift to our global enemies. Call him what you want. Just don't call him the next President.

The Technocracy

Diane Kimura

Google the word: "TECHNOCRACY” if you don’t know what it is.

It perfectly encapsulates our current state of economic governance.

This chart is the example of that.

The market cap of the largest stock is now 750x the market cap of a 75th percentile stock.

To put this in perspective, even at the peak of the 2000 Dot-com bubble the metric only hit 550x.

We officially have a higher stock concentration than the peak of the Great Depression in 1932.

The top 10% of stocks in the US now reflect ~75% of the entire market.

Big tech IS the stock market.


May be an image of text that says 'as of March 14, 2024 800x 932 700x Market cap of the largest stock relative to the 75th percentile stock 600x 2023 500x 2000 1964 1973 2020 400x 1939 300x 2009 200x 100x 1945 0x 1925 1935 1955 1965 1975 1985 1995 2005 2015 2025 Source: Compustat, Kenneth R.

The Job Killer Biden

Jerry S.  Rainforth

While Biden took a victory lap on the upbeat employment data from the BLS, two things he failed to mention:

1. 100% of all job gains went to immigrants (no distinction is made between legal and illegal immigrant workers).

2. The number of part-time workers rose significantly and full-time workers fell.

According to the BLS data, in February 2024 there were 27.9 million part-time jobs in the US, a 921,000 increase from 27.0 million in February 2023.

At the same time, the full-time jobs count declined by 284,000 from 133.23 million to 132.95 million.

As shown in the second table (blue color frames), since November 2023, the US economy has lost 1.8 million full-time jobs. In other words, all jobs created in the past year have been part-time though the headlines say that the US has been adding jobs for 38 straigh

Putting the Demon In Demoncratic Socialism

A-Greg Delany

I am amazed at people who try and tell me I lived in Communism and not Socialism in the USSR.
Then they try and extol the virtues of Democrat Socialism. They give examples of the great altruistic ideals of Government hand outs!
We should examine the list of Complete Failures they use.
1. Social Security.
It was a voluntary program in 1937 and asked for 1% of peoples income to help the elderly. It was never designed to pay out. The average life expectancy at the time was age 60 and it paid out at age 65. When people started living longer they moved the goal posts many times and raised the mandatory deduction. Each time they made it harder to pay out to people in need. The real surprise is the alternate Program in the Private sector in three counties in Texas! These programs allow participants to choose their investments, the provider can not rob from the fund, The pay out is 5 times higher and the fund is yours and not the governments. If You die before retirement age on SS. You receive $251 death benefit. The private fund you get your investment back for your dependents. The Private Plan is not loaded with a Government agency full of employees to pay and pay taxpayer pensions to. They are managed on the Free Market and pay their employees themselves.
2. Medicare.
One of the highest fraud rates of any Government Program. The plan does not pay for many things and a supplemental insurance is needed to help with medical bills. It is widely unaccepted at doctors offices because of poor management and service is terrible.
Before Government intervened in free Medical that is not free. The free market set insurance rate depending on service selected. The costs were generally low and competitive. Then Government mandated Insurance regulations and minimum coverages across the board. So a man must have maternity insurance if he wants it or not. Mandated Insurance is not freedom of choice. Let the free market set price. Allow insurance companies to sell their products across State lines.
3. Free Public Schools.
They are the worst schools in history. They are scored on student averages. The averages get lower each year. The charter schools must reach minimum standards or they lose their business license. If a public school does not meet minimum standard, the Government throws more money at them . So the schools were incentivized to do poorly to make more money! The goal of these public school teacher Unions is to indoctrinate not teach children.
4. National Parks.
The cost to enter national parks pays for the upkeep, yet Government grows the Budget each year. In the 1970s. I worked at the Grand Canyon. The government used Fred Harvey corp. To run the Park and maintain the upkeep. It was a private enterprise that made a profit and it did not cost the tax payer anything! The private sector will always manage things better because there is a profit in a business run well.
People tell me that our Police, Fire Department, Roads and Schools are all because of the Federal Government.
Not true at all.
These are all paid for through local property taxes, sales taxes and bonds.
Roads for instance are mostly paid for by developers as part of their development fees.
The roads adjacent to the property being developed is the developers responsibility to improve.
I looked at the distribution of my property taxes and I am shocked at how much of it goes to schools.
70% of my tax goes to improve pubic schools.
When Charter school build and maintain their own properties, and the level of education in the privately run Charters Schools is much higher than the Federal Option!
The time has come to end this tyrannical federal government over-reach!

Tim adds:

The name of the country was Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. NOT Communist. Communism is but the believed end of socialism.

I would add you don't even have "democratic socialism" in the countries the Lefties point to. Of all Scandinavia, for instance, only Sweden ever actually had socialism, and that only very briefly in the seventies, and they chucked it. Sweden now is more business friendly than the U.S. with lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations. The same is true in the rest of Europe.The "Capitalist" U.S. is in fact more socialistic than the "democratic socialist" countiees cited by the liberals.

Socialism brings poverty, tyranny, and despair and broken lives. It is a moral and spiritual evil. The Papacy condemned it soundly in a series of Papal Encyclicals, most especially Rerum Novarum. There is nothing moral about socialism; it is enshrining sins like theft and covetousness into law.

AND it must be imposed by force. People by their very nature seek to protect what they have. Socialism takes what people have and redistributes it, ostensibly for fairness but in reality for the benefit of those in power. That wealth is taken at the barrel of a gun. And if you complain you will pay a very severe price.

Socialism is Satan's economic system. And America is running headlong to embrace it.

Florida Gets Tough on Squatters

Timothy Birdnow

Anyone remember Dr. Zhivago when the Communists seized their Moscow home and moved a bunch of surly peasants in?

Communists always try to break the spirit of those who make society work by promoting squatters.

Florida is pushing back.

Warner Todd Huston posted in Western Journalism:

Lawmakers in Florida are finally addressing the problem of squatting, one of the most egregious property rights violations going on in America today.

This month, both chambers of the state Legislature unanimously passed a bill allowing law enforcement to immediately remove squatters without waiting weeks or months for a case to move through the courts, according to WJXT-TV.

If signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the measure would go into effect on July 1.

The move comes as a relief to Florida property owner Patti Peeples, who dealt with squatters last year.

Trump Appeals Excess Bond

Timothy Birdnow

Donald Trump appealing the excessive bond ($464 million dollars) imposed on him by political hack in robes judge Erdogen,er, Engoran in what is a monumental shakedown and election tampering scheme. Engoran says Trump cannot appeal the ruling until he pays the bond, limiting the higher courts and at the same time violating basic constitutional protections.

The eighth amendment to the Constitution of the United States says "Excessive bail shall not be required , nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

Half a billion dollars - and this after the judge just imposed it without a trial - unquestionably is excessive.

The New York State constitution is almost identical:


Article I - Bill Of Rights . Section 5 - Bail; fines; punishments; detention of witnesses. Excessive bail shall not be required nor excessive fines imposed, nor shall cruel and unusual punishments be inflicted, nor shall witnesses be unreasonably detained.

Yet in this hyperpartisan era Trump will probably lose his appeal in state court and be forced to appeal to the Federal bench.

This is exactly what we see in dictatorships. Amnesty International criticized the Russian Federation bitterly for eroding the right to assembly, yet here we are eroding the right tobe free of excessive bail and nary a peep from them.

These people must be held to account. Erdogan needs to be hauled before Congress.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Timothy Birdnow

Top O' the morning to you (and the rest of the day for myself.)

I was going to write up a post about St. Patrick, he who has inspired much green beer and giant hats and big ties,but Bob here beat me to it.

So faith and begorrah, erin go brah, and all the other Gallic phrases nobody understands to you all!

BTW corned beef and cabbage is the traditional St. Pats Day fare, but in fact the Irish don't eat that in Ireland; it's American food, borrowed by Irish immigrants from Germans, largely because it was cheap. But it sure is good! If you want to be genuinely Irish eat fish or lamb and wash it down with Harp beer,or Guinness.
Bob Clasen, profile picture

Bob Clasen

The Catholic Church officially recognizes Saint Patrick as the patron saint of Ireland and a prominent figure in the history of Christianity. He is celebrated for his missionary work in Ireland, where he is credited with converting many of the Irish to Christianity in the 5th century.

According to Catholic tradition, Saint Patrick was born in Roman Britain and was kidnapped by Irish raiders at the age of 16. He was taken to Ireland as a slave but eventually escaped and returned to his family. Later, he had a vision calling him to return to Ireland as a missionary. He studied in a monastery in Gaul (modern-day France) and was ordained a bishop before returning to Ireland.

The Catholic Church celebrates Saint Patrick's feast day on March 17th, the anniversary of his death. On this day, Catholics worldwide honor his life and legacy through various traditions, such as attending Mass, wearing green, and participating in parades.
