I remember Trump talking about building an Iron Dome for the US, for a long time. The earliest mention I see for it is, January 2023.

Thanks for tagging but tagging doesn't work unless you put it in a comment. The pacing of this release feels too slow. I was expecting the league launch to be in early June at this point.

The New Republic is a reliable magazine. It names the doctor in the article. Dr Zeke Emanuel is a doctor who worked for Biden, not as a Biden's personal doctor but as a policy advisor for COVID. He even has a wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel_Emanuel

The title is misleading click-bait. The title says "Doctor who worked with Biden says he had cancer for years". By this title, you are misled into thinking that the doctor knew that Biden had cancer, but the title doesn't say that. The doctor worked for Biden's covid policy panel and Biden has late stage cancer, therefore this doctor made the inference now that Biden must have had cancer for a long time.

The article does not say that this doctor was aware of the cancer previously.

Unfortunately his HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher" is signed for production until the end of 2026.

Bezalel Smotrich admitted today in a speech that Israel's plan was to starve Gaza because "the world isn't stopping us".

“Truth be told, until the last of the hostages returns, we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip. But the reality is that if we do that, the world will force us to halt the war immediately, and to lose. It would be winning the battle, and losing the war. I'm committed to winning the war,” Smotrich declared. “We are disassembling Gaza, and leaving it as piles of rubble, with total destruction [which has] no precedent globally. And the world isn't stopping us. There are pressures. There are those who attack [us]; they are trying to [make us] stop; they are not succeeding. You know why they aren't succeeding? Because we are navigating [the campaign] responsibly and wisely, and that's how we'll continue to do [it]."

Per Al Jazeera, 5 aid trucks is not enough to feed 1000 people, while around 2 million people live in Gaza, most of which are facing starvation.

I think Gen X still believes that they saved Africa from communism by listening to a rock music concert. Live aid perfectly combined activism with consumerism.

Gen X grew up under rampant consumerism of the 80s. Plastic action figures and dolls. They have all of their nostalgia invested into brands.

Gen X will never shut the fuck up about how they were the last generation to play outside.

They get mad about regulations. "We used to have candy cigarettes and lawn darts." "Why don't they show guns in kid cartoons anymore?" "Kids today are too soft".

They grew up entirely under Reagan, so they believe all of Reagan's policies: "welfare queens", fear of frivolous lawsuits, anti-union sentiment, etc.

They spent most of their childhood eating leaded painted chips and inhaling leaded gasoline. I believe this causes Gen X to have behavioral problems in the current day.

They experienced the 90s crime panic as soon as they get out of high school and now they still obsess over local crime numbers. This is probably tied to some racist beliefs.

The 90s culture told them that it's wrong to work in an office jobs because it's boring and they're all meant to be rock stars. They think they're too good for a steady job.

Their culture they were raised by tells them that they are rebellious but they aren't rebelling against anything. 80s rock music presented a generic image of rebellion against nothing in particular, maybe cold war rebellion against communism. Today their instilled rebellion manifests itself against social movements, ie rebelling against "woke". See Kid Rock as example.

Gen X loves fast food but they want to murder the people who make fast food.

Gen X didn't have the internet until they were already adults. They never developed skepticism for the internet properly. Facebook bricked their brains.

I think a lot of their beliefs are probably influenced by Reaganism. They internalized Reagan's policies as children because they were too young to see the biases.

He's done this bit at his rallies for years. I used to watch his rallies frequently to see his new talking points. He would ask the crowd "Do you know what the n word is?" There was a few times when someone in the crowd shouted the actual slur. Then Trump would laugh and say "No. the n word is nuclear." I think he was baiting the crowd intentionally to say the slur.

Here's the nuclear video clip from today.

Thinking about people who said the Trump administration was distancing itself from Israel this past week.

Notes from Drop Sites News:

• The plan is being seriously considered and has been discussed with Libyan leadership. In exchange, the U.S. would potentially unfreeze billions of dollars in Libyan assets.

• Israel is aware of the discussions. Senior Hamas official, Dr. Basem Naim, said that Hamas was not aware of any discussions. No final agreement has been reached, NBC reports and the State Department and National Security Council declined comment.

• Libya, still divided between rival governments, is struggling with war and instability. The U.S. currently warns against travel due to “crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict.”

• Plans include possible financial incentives like free housing or stipends to encourage voluntary departure—but it’s unclear how many Palestinians would agree.

• Transport options being considered include airlifts, sea routes, and land convoys, all of which pose major logistical hurdles. Gaza lacks an airport, and Israel may not permit overland travel to Egypt.

• The U.S. has also reportedly considered Syria under its new post-Assad leadership as a potential resettlement site.

• Trump previously said Palestinians would need to be relocated so the U.S. could “take over” and rebuild Gaza as a “Riviera of the Middle East.” He added: “I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza.”

• The proposal for ethnically cleansing Gaza has faced intense pushback from Arab allies and members of Congress.

Trump says he'll meet with Putin as soon as possible to discuss an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. RapidResponse47 is a US government twitter account.
