Exactly. Such a shame that entitled Hillary opened Pandora's Box on this one by maintaining that "Russian influence" rather than her own campaign, actions and persona cost her the perceived automatic succession.
" It is the inalienable right under the First Amendment to the Constitution: Freedom of speech and the right of the people peaceably to assemble. " Takes me back to one of the first poems I ever wrote, back in 1964, or so. Some things never change:
What is so absurd about this obsession with foreign interference is that Israel does it openly, its American advocates openly proclaiming they stand with Israel though ethnic supremacy is the antithesis of liberty and justice for all in our Pledge of Allegiance. As I never tire of mentioning President Biden declared himself a Zionist clearly not seeing it as the treasonous statement it was, in fact thinking it a very American thing to say!!! THE PRESIDENT DECLARING ALLEGIANCE TO ETHNIC CLEANING ISRAEL PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE SUPPORTING GENOCIDE WITHOUT HESITATION. NO MSM SAID A THING ABOUT THIS! Am I shouting? Damn right!
Supporters of Israel in the US are the #1 danger to national security because such are in positions that they use to silence critics of Israel through firing them from jobs or, as megadonors, silencing criticism of Israel on campus through threats to withdraw donations if university administrations do not do as requested.
Jonathan Pollard, an American traitor now a hero in Israel, shows just how dangerous a Zionist can be when embedded in the military and there are so many such and in the intelligence agencies as well. President Trump is surrounded by Zionists such as Steven Miller, Jared Kushner, Howard Lutnick, Steven Witkoff, Witkoff and Kushner boldly representing the US as they work to support Israel! Too many exclamation marks? No, not enough.
This is INSANITY and it is ignored for fear of what Zionists in positions of power can do. What Larry Ellison has done should be openly denounced but gets a pass as he buys up US media to filter news for Israel. Haim Saben, Arnon Milchan, Ben Shapiro, Bill Ackman and not least Jeffrey Epstein all fabulously wealthy and using their freedom in America to backstop blatant ethnic cleansing. Congress should be in an uproar over this. It isn't because so many members have had campaigns financed by AIPAC. Jon Ossoff, the hope of Democrats for re-election to the Senate has receive $1 million from AIPAC. Go to Track AIPAC and check out your reps and senators.
Rahm Emanual wants to be President. He is a Zionist and has recently been in Tel Aviv lecturing the Democratic Party from afar about the need for ethics! WE MUST GET ZIONISTS OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENTS BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE. Why state? Zionists have passed anti-BDS legislation in well over half the states to protect Israel. All of this legislation needs to be repealed.
Hegseth and Trump will have NOTHING TO SAY about all of the above as ultra-Zionist and top Trump donor Israeli Miriam Adelson stands by waiting for Trump to come through on recognizing Israel's annexation of the West Bank.
The US has been turned upside down for Israel. WE HAVE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT SIDE UP. We are in the moral sewer with Israel now. End the war for Israel on Iran, do not elect anyone who will not disavow Israel as anyone who supports LJ4A (all true Americans) must. END ALL SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL, military, economic or diplomatic. NO MEANINGFUL ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN ON ANY OF THIS.
Wake up Americans! The ruse of "antisemitism in America" is pushed as a cover for Israel by the Zionist Anti-Defamation League whose president Jonathan Greenblatt has made this his life's work. Far from Jews needing to be afraid, it is all Americans, Jewish or not, who need to fear American Zionists. I say this as a survivor of two death threats and five assaults on me as I stand on the street with Old Glory and a sign that says, "Support of Israel is America's Shame: End It!" FOR THIS I AM ATTACKED BY FELLOW AMERICANS WHO SUPPORT ISREAL!
I'm still unclear on exactly what they propose to do. Exactly how are they going to "ensure foreign actors do not meddle in our democratic systems"? And what does "execute collection and production on foreign threats" mean?
"Both major parties, whatever their disagreements, share a consensus view that Americans’ beliefs and even voting decisions are not their own, but rather the result of shadowy foreign influence campaigns."
That's the heart of it. Everyone in Washington believes that the government must control who influences voters (for their own good, of course). Drawing the military into this was inevitable.
Off topic, this event probably merits some notice:
"U.S. withdraws forces in Iraq as balance of power shifts to Iran
U.S. forces will focus on anti-Islamic State operations from headquarters in Jordan.
September 30, 2026
By Mustafa Salim and Alex Horton
BAGHDAD — U.S. military forces withdrew from bases in Iraq on Wednesday following two decades of American involvement that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of U.S. troops, and now leaves a battered but increasingly influential Iran at the center of the region’s future.
The last remaining forces relocated to Jordan, the headquarters for the ongoing mission to fight Islamic State militants, U.S. officials said."
"The Best and the Brightest"? Hegseth, BA in Politics, Princeton, 2003; Harvard, MPP, 2011. I guess it's okay to have DEI in the Ivy League to admit Right-wing ideologues, under the mistaken belief they can actually be taught something, akin to what Norman Finkelstein calls "affirmative action for the rich" in the case of Jared Kushner at Harvard, in the mistaken belief that he might actually make something of himself independent of his father's money.

" It is the inalienable right under the First Amendment to the Constitution: Freedom of speech and the right of the people peaceably to assemble. " Takes me back to one of the first poems I ever wrote, back in 1964, or so. Some things never change:
I read somewhere
That people have a right
To speak, and assemble and petition
I think I saw it written
In the back of a text
That has been discontinued.
Funny they didn’t care about foreign influence when the Russians were doing it 🤔now that Iran is involved they are bringing out the troops 😡

"And the hypocrisy at play here is mind-bending."
Indeed it is. On both sides.
