the last sentence here from caitlin sums it all up leaving the rest of the copy as reinforcement;

Doctors Without Borders emergency coordinator Caroline Seguin reports that lifesaving medical equipment inside the hospitals in northern Gaza has been methodically destroyed, “smashed to pieces, one by one, to make sure no medical care could be provided anymore.”

“You have to ask: What is the motivation of such action? These machines are made to save people’s lives, mothers, fathers, children,” Seguin writes.

But we all know the motivation. The motivation is to make the Gaza Strip unlivable for Palestinians.

I mean, what excuses could the Israel apologists possibly produce for this one? Were Hamas hiding in the ventilators? Were the MRI machines being used as human shields? Was there a weapons stockpile in the defibrillator? Was the incubator moving in ways that made IDF troops feel unsafe? What’s the hasbara line on this, exactly?

Doesn’t look like there is one. After all the lies about Israel’s reasons for systematically destroying Gaza’s healthcare facilities, they’ve now dropped all pretenses and are openly targeting medical equipment itself for destruction. The goal was always to make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable in order to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians...........more......

larry johnson thinks the trump is playing his usual game;

 While I am still appalled and alarmed by what President Trump’s “plan,” announced last week, to unleash a new Nakba on the Palestinians and take control of Gaza, it has occurred to me that Trump was playing a character in order to produce another outcome. Before explaining what I think he was doing, I believe that the case of General Kellogg is a good example of how Trump does one thing in public and then, behind closed doors, does the opposite.

A week ago, many of us were worried about the bellicose statements of Trump’s Ukraine Envoy, Keith Kellogg, who remarked that Russia’s current sanctions “pain level” is at about 3 out of 10, and that Trump has much more room to raise that “pain level” by putting sanctions pressure on Russian oil and gas:

“You have to put economic pressure; you have to put diplomatic pressure, some type of military pressures and levers that you’re going to use underneath those to make sure [this goes] where we want it to go”.

It was widely assumed that Kellogg was speaking on behalf of President Trump. Kellogg’s comments were, to put it mildly, not well received in the Kremlin. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, came out publicly warning that Moscow-Washington relations are “teetering at the brink of complete rupture”; the “antagonistic content” of Russian-US relations has become “very critical” today, Ryabkov cautioned:..........more..........

 the trump show brings in the putin while the zelensky waits outside;

If you read the Zelenskyy statement yesterday following the phone call with President Trump, you would notice the seemingly detached nature of his comments.  Almost as if Zelenskyy was a bystander awaiting further instructions.

Apparently, the European Union, various NATO members and likely some DoS/CIA operatives bent his ear.  24 hours later, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now says it is critical for Ukraine to participate in any discussion on the future of Ukraine.

(Via AP) – […] In his first comments to journalists since Trump held individual calls first with Putin and then Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian leader conceded that it was “not very pleasant” that the American president spoke first to Putin. But he said the main issue was to “not allow everything to go according to Putin’s plan.”

“We cannot accept it, as an independent country, any agreements (made) without us,” Zelenskyy said as he visited a nuclear power plant in western Ukraine.

While Trump was noncommittal on Wednesday, he offered some reassurances on Thursday when asked by reporters whether Ukrainians would have a seat at the table in U.S. negotiations with Russia. “Of course they would,” Trump said. “I mean, they’re part of it. We would have Ukraine, we have Russia, and we’ll have other people...........more......

 two things to see here; both for and about the same israeli. he's a nazi based upon the last sentence below, and he's been rewarded indirectly/directly for his crimes;

The European Union has approved a grant worth almost $1 million to a firm headed by Gadi Eisenkot, one of the Israeli politicians who has overseen the Gaza genocide.

Storage Drop, as Eisenkot’s firm is called, is taking part in Hydrocool, an EU-funded project ostensibly designed to reduce the environmental impact of air conditioning.

Eisenkot is unconvincing as a champion of ecological sustainability.

From October 2023 to June last year, he was part of the war cabinet which managed a genocide in Gaza. The war cabinet authorized tactics that involved routine massacres and the obliteration of civilian infrastructure.

Giving Eisenkot’s firm a role in a supposedly climate friendly project like Hydrocool doesn’t offset the responsibility he and his war cabinet colleagues bear for wrecking the water and sewage treatment network in Gaza.

Although he is depicted as a “moderate” by some media outlets, Eisenkot has a history of advocating extreme violence.

He was among a coterie of military commanders, who devised the so-called “Dahiyeh doctrine,” which refers to the Beirut suburb where Israel caused massive devastation during its 2006 attack on Lebanon.

In October 2008, Eisenkot issued a warning to every area in which Israel encountered resistance.

“What happened in the Dahiyeh quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on,” he said.........more..........

Trump Could Take a Page from President Andrew Jackson’s Playbook

Paul Craig Roberts

If Trump plays by the corrupt judiciary’s rulings and allows judicial edicts to override executive orders, he and his movement are finished.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x9wltIOod4

One can say that the absurd judicial edicts will be overturned by higher courts, but, as Trump says, stopping the President from acting gives the corrupt Democrats, who have been stealing the American taxpayers blind for years, time to cover up, to “lose” data, “mistakenly” erase it, etc.  Moreover, trust in higher courts overlooks that the judiciary is not indifferent to its own power and often rules not on the basis of law, precedent, and the Constitution, but in the interest of its own power.

The Democrat corruption includes  the judiciary.  By accepting a judge’s use of judicial edicts that have zero basis in law, Trump is risking conceding victory to his and our enemies.

The corrupt judiciary seems determined to impose its power over the executive in order to block Trump’s agenda.  Here is an example. John Bates, a District of Columbia federal district judge appointed by the disastrous George W. Bush regime, has ordered Trump to reinstate funding for the  gender ideology websites that Trump abolished. This is not merely a judge claiming authority over the US budget.  It is also a judge ordering a president to reinstate the executive order of a predecessor. Biden can order the funding of gender ideology and DEI federally funded websites, but Trump cannot order the termination of their funding.  What is John Bates’ edict based on other than his personal preference?  Nothing.  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/breaking-federal-judge-orders-trump-admin-restore-gender/.........more.........

 trump speaks with the putin and now gives us this;

No War with Russia

Putin had so mismanaged the conflict with Ukraine that  the US and NATO were firing missiles into Russia, promising more escalation than peace.

Trump has intervened, moving war off the agenda.  Perhaps Trump will be equally effective against Israel and Israel’s war-based agenda of  Greater Israel.

 about a hundred years ago when i was in college it was like big high school. it wasn't difficult or stretching the bounds of learning. a friend asked when everyone goes to college who will pick up the trash. now we know in many cases it will be todays college grads who can't find a job;

More than 18 million students are enrolled at over 5,800 colleges and universities in the United States.  On average, it costs more than $100,000 to attend a college or a university in the U.S. for four years.  It has been estimated that a college eduction is now over 400 percent more expensive than it was 40 years ago.  But even though our institutions of higher learning are sucking so much money out of our young people, it never seems to be enough, and so they are constantly begging for more money from the federal government.  If you can believe it, the U.S. government has been providing more than 170 billion dollars a year to postsecondary education programs.  Much of this funding comes in the form of research grants, student aid, and government contracts.  But what are we getting for all of this money?  The truth is that we are getting an entire generation that has had their heads filled with leftist propaganda.

We tell our kids over and over again that a “higher education” is the key to getting a good job and living the American Dream.  They have been told not to worry about how much it costs and that there is plenty of financial aid (mostly made up of loans) available.  Now our economy is facing the biggest student loan debt bubble in the history of the world, and when our new college graduates enter the “real world” they are finding out that the good jobs they were promised are very few and far between.

The system relies on the fact that most of us are going to believe that a college education is the key to a good future and that there is plenty of “financial aid” out there for everyone that wants to go to college......more......
