President Biden's claimed hometown is Scranton, Pennsylvania.... recent reports from Scranton show that a majority do not believe Bidenomics is working... indeed, even in the President's adopted hometown they don't believe his policies are working.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

| Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why. | |
| Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies. | |
| From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi. | |
| What difference at this point does it make? | |
| Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| All right, thank you, Scott Shannon. | |
| Thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Here's our toll-free number. | |
| It is 800 941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program. | |
| I mean, I can't think of now. | |
| I'm going back in my mind's memory bank. | |
| I can't think of an instant where any of us have watched your president Joe Biden out publicly speaking or at an event where there's not a complete screw up. | |
| It just it is now a matter of course. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| That means that everything we've been saying about cognitive decline is true. | |
| And that is A, that it is degenerative. | |
| Let me interpret that. | |
| That means it gets worse, it'll never get better. | |
| I mean, Biden, you know, came out of the, you know, he got lost leaving the house stage at the 2023 Kennedy Center honorees and got lost trying to leave the stage until his wife had to stand up, grab his hand and tell him where to go. | |
| It is it is that humiliating at this point. | |
| And it's almost like every time he gets on stage, he does not know what to do. | |
| Just recently, when he was laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, what did he do? | |
| Same what did he do? | |
| The same thing. | |
| So um you you've got to look at this as a big issue. | |
| Just go back to last week, Joe's blunders and gaffes. | |
| I mean, it's every single week we get a new montage. | |
| If I ever put all the montages together, probably I could run an entire three-hour show. | |
| Now look, my marine charge driver has a code to blow off the world. | |
| That's not nuclear weapons. | |
| All right, okay. | |
| But but I am friends with your leader, Mr. Moon. | |
| You know, you know, we're we're good guys. | |
| Here in Colorado, the wind turbine manufacturing vistas is investing 40 million dollars to expand factory and hire an additional 1,000 employees. | |
| Solar manufacturer Meyer Berger is building a new solar cell factory just down the road in Colorado Springs. | |
| Instead of cutting them, it's like Congressman Trump and Bo want to do. | |
| We could use it to help millionaires, millions of families afford instead of millionaires, millions of families afford little help for senior care. | |
| I mean, it is a disaster. | |
| Every single event, any time he has to speak, it becomes an unmitigated disaster. | |
| And and what does that mean for 2024? | |
| I don't know how he keeps it together because if if this level of cognitive decline, if it continues at the Current pace where it's getting progressively worse and worse and worse. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| Well, it means number one, uh we're watching the impact of it. | |
| The world has no respect for America at this point. | |
| We'll get into the issue of what's going on, you know, with with our Navy out in the Middle East and against China. | |
| I mean, none of this is good news. | |
| By the way, Corinne Jean Pierre and Andrew Bates violated the hatch act, apparently, when they had been warned against using the word MAGA to describe certain Republicans, according to a government watchdog group. | |
| The independent office of special counsel said the two uh uh actions are contrary to official guidance on the law when they slam quote MAGA Republicans in the budget deal this year. | |
| Yeah, you think? | |
| I mean, again, if it was a Republican, it would be huge news. | |
| Speaking of the economy, it's not good news. | |
| I guess maybe it's better news if you if you've been into crypto. | |
| I noticed that uh Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to be making a pretty strong comeback. | |
| Well, uh whether it'll reach its previous highs, I don't know. | |
| I'm I have no crystal ball. | |
| Um what's interesting to watch, however, is the economy is that bad that Democrats, Democratic donors, the Democratic money class, all of them are united in pushing for Joe Biden to ditch this Bidenomics phrase that they have been using that was supposed to be the central focus of his re-election campaign. | |
| Now, even congressional Democrats are running away from Biden's failed economic program as far as they can. | |
| But the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and House Majority Pack, two key fundraising arms are avoiding the term on social media, press releases, as polling now indicates the tagline is uh not only ineffective, it works against them. | |
| Why? | |
| Because the American people are living the reality that is the Biden economy. | |
| The world is living the reality, which is America abdicating its role as the world's leader on in the world stage. | |
| You know, uh actually it was Fox Digital. | |
| I don't know if we have this, Linda. | |
| They went out there and you know, because Joe Biden, they they asked the question, you know, how do you really feel about Bidenomics? | |
| So he claims his hometown to be Scranton, Pennsylvania, hasn't been there for decades and decades and decades and decades. | |
| But anyway, you know, most were in agreement, you know, with his his claim that the U.S. economy through their eyes, that they totally disagree with him. | |
| You know, Biden's saying that he doesn't look at the economy through the eyes of Wall Street and Park Avenue. | |
| I look at it through the eyes of people I grew up with in Scranton, Pennsylvania. | |
| Okay. | |
| So Fox Digital goes and they ask all these people, and almost all of them were critical, a couple of mixed reviews, but mostly critical of the comments made by his home made by their hometown son. | |
| Now, if Scranton, Pennsylvania is suffering, that is just you know, symptomatic of what the entire country is now going through. | |
| By the way, the way NBC News even reported the word Bidonomics is nowhere to be found in the president's recent speeches. | |
| The word is gone. | |
| It is now disappeared. | |
| It's like it's like it never existed. | |
| And just like Thanksgiving cost you a lot more. | |
| You want to get a real Christmas tree this year, that's up 10% this year. | |
| I wonder if more people are going to end up buying those fake Christmas trees. | |
| What do you get, Linda? | |
| You get a real tree or a fake one? | |
| Well, I have a fake one now. | |
| You have a fake one now. | |
| I it's probably easier to do a fake one. | |
| It is just because the ease of access. | |
| I sent you a video just a few seconds ago, actually. | |
| I saw a guy who's parking lot, like somebody parked their car with their tree strapped down. | |
| He came up with a pocket knife, zip zip, took it off, had his seats down and put it in his. | |
| I'm like, is that where we're at? | |
| You're stealing Christmas? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Merry Christmas to your kids, Mister. | |
| Good luck. | |
| Oh my God, man. | |
| It's like these I hate these smash and grab videos. | |
| Who could ever stay in business with that threat? | |
| You know, there's a mall that Billy Joel talks about on the Miracle Mile in Long Island, New York. | |
| It's called the Americana Mall. | |
| And it's iconic. | |
| It's it's got all the big stores you'd ever imagine. | |
| And it just really, really nice kind of outdoor mall, which is rare in New York. | |
| And it's it's got every big store you'd ever want. | |
| And more and more these smash and grab robberies are happening. | |
| I happen to be a friend of one guy that owns one of the stores there. | |
| I'm friends with great friends with him. | |
| Um, I don't know if he'd want me to mention his name. | |
| I might end up being a target as a result, but you know, he had to go through a smash and grab robbery uh recently, and I said, Well, how do and he has security all over the place. | |
| I said, What'd you tell your security people? | |
| He said, to get everybody to safety. | |
| Doesn't care about the robbery part. | |
| Just get everybody safe. | |
| There's nothing you can do. | |
| What are you supposed to do? | |
| Confront these people when they come in as a mob? | |
| Well, you could, except for the fact that you have no police support because we live in a sanctuary state and city where they don't support the right, they support the wrong. | |
| So they allow the bad to continue. | |
| There's no accountability. | |
| Yeah, remember, and New York says you have an obligation if you're going to use a firearm to first try and retreat. | |
| Why don't you have the right to go out and defend yourself and your home and your business? | |
| Apparently not. | |
| Uh this poll came out. | |
| Uh 36% of respondents asked about the American dream, defining in in this case that if you work hard in America, you'll get ahead. | |
| Only 36% of respondents believe this exists now. | |
| And by the way, per the Wall Street Journal poll from October, that is a steep drop. | |
| Younger Americans now struggling to get on the housing ladder. | |
| That is now almost become impossible, which is why new home construction is stopped. | |
| That's why sale of pre-existing homes is stopping. | |
| Opportunities presented, you know, to work remotely, you know, since 2020, there's a rise in digital nomad visas per Europe-based law. | |
| They apparently dozens of countries now offer a visa pathway enabling remote workers to legally reside in the host country for a year plus under certain conditions. | |
| You know why? | |
| Because they want them to spend money in their country. | |
| If they're making a lot of money in the U.S., they can work remote. | |
| Why not? | |
| The IRS, by the way, increase the interest that uh if if apparently you have some type of problem and you get hit with a fine, now that any money you may owe them now they're charging 8%. | |
| They couldn't do it fast enough. | |
| So they've got this big climate conference, and the funny thing is, I guess they're headed to Abu Dhabi for the COP28. | |
| I don't know what it's called. | |
| Apparently, Kamala's going in her place, Vice President uh Harris, uh, with hosts under fire for wanting to push oil and gas deals. | |
| They're saying this is basically a cover so all these oil-rich nations can get together and do bigger uh deals on oil. | |
| John Kerry now is calling himself a climate militant, declaring no coal plant should ever be permitted anywhere in the world, really. | |
| There shouldn't be any more coal-fired power plants permitted anywhere in the world. | |
| That's how you can do something for health. | |
| And the reality is that we're not doing it. | |
| So you know, the measure here is really uh sounding the alarm bell. | |
| I find myself getting more and more militant because I do not understand how adults who are in position of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis. | |
| Okay, this guy who's flew around most of his adult life in a private jet. | |
| Okay, give me a break. | |
| And that's one of the biggest problems here. | |
| They're going to a climate climate conference, and the number of uh private jets taking people in and out of there is like they're all over the place. | |
| But they're doing it for the better cause, which is the environment. | |
| Okay, they're emitting an awful lot of carbon. | |
| You know, and and of course, there's no, you know, it's actually one the COP28, this this whole conference chief says there's no science behind demands for a phase out of fossil fuels. | |
| You know, one point I asked Gavin Newsom in the debate last week. | |
| Is there any one thing you can think of that could replace gas, oil, and coal as the lifeblood of our economy and as a reliable source of energy in the next six months? | |
| Because I the answer is no. | |
| They can't do it in the next 30, 40, 50, 60 years. | |
| Now we're gonna shut down coal plants. | |
| Oh, that's great. | |
| You think you think China and India classified as developing nations? | |
| Uh, you think they're gonna uh by the Paris Climate Accords? | |
| You think they're gonna participate in this nonsense? | |
| No, they're laughing at how stupid we are. | |
| Because they know we're gonna end up paying the freight for all of this, and that's gonna give them a massive economic advantage over us. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| By the way, I wonder what happened out in uh out in Malibu Beach, where apparently illegal immigrants landed there, you know, next to the lavish homes of liberal liberal celebrities like Barbara Streisand. | |
| You know what I bet she did, Linda? | |
| I bet she went outside. | |
| He saw a bunch of illegal immigrants pulling up on the shores of her beautiful enclave. | |
| And I'm guessing she probably brought them food and water, invited them in her house, invited them to stay as long as they need to, whatever they needed, they that she would take care of. | |
| I bet that happened, right? | |
| Don't you think? | |
| Yeah, and right after she serenated them. | |
| No, probably right after they called the police to get him out of there as quickly as possible. | |
| Just like they did in Martha's Vineyard. | |
| They were good. | |
| The group that was sent up by Governor DeSantis, they were gone in what, less than 24 hours. | |
| We did a check, we found out there were more than enough rooms available at Matha's Vineyard at the time. | |
| Barack Obama's got 12 plus acres. | |
| They could have could have set up a tent city right in his backyard. | |
| How often have I said liberals are only generous with other people's money, not with uh their own money. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |

| What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi. | |
| Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why? | |
| Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies. | |
| It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory. | |
| Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre? | |
| Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit. | |
| We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. | |
| You put two and two together. | |
| Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy? | |
| Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years. | |

| Fully enabled, supported by Iran. | |
| We have U.S. warship warship now having to down three drones during hours and hours long assault in the Red Sea, you know, killing proxy fighters in northern Iraq and anyway, ballistic ballistic missiles that were fired by the Yemen Houthi rebels. | |
| We've been warning you look, these proxy wars, it's all Iran. | |
| You do know that. | |
| You gotta understand they have been fighting proxy wars, funding all these individual terror groups. | |
| We now know that they were actively involved in the plotting and the planning and the scheming and the military training for what happened to Israel on October the 7th. | |
| And that means the Kud's forces and even the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. | |
| Anyway, so Yemen's Houthi Rebels, again funded by Iran, uh struck three commercial ships yesterday in the Red Sea while a U.S. warship shot down three of the drones in self-defense during what went on for a long time. | |
| U.S. Central Command said we also have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Hoodis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran. | |
| Yeah, no kidding, state the obvious. | |
| U.S. military killed the five Iranian proxy fighters. | |
| Uh later in the program today, uh, you got another squad member. | |
| I mean, it's it's so repulsive, slammed after talking about balanced criticism. | |
| Now imagine if a conservative ever said this. | |
| We need to have balanced criticism when asked specifically about Hamas raping women. | |
| What if a conservative ever said that? | |
| These people are so out of their mind. | |
| One pro-Palestinian mob harassing a Jewish-owned restaurant in Philly. | |
| Even the Democratic Governor Shapiro said it was a blatant act of anti-Semitism. | |
| Virginia Festival canceled the menorah lighting due to the anti-Semitism and the fallout from the Israeli war. | |

| You go to the store, you touch them, and oh, they feel soft, they they look absorbent, they look great. | |
| Okay, you buy them, you go home, and then you use them, and two or three times later they're not so soft, and they're not that absorbent. | |
| Well, that inspired him to create two new lines of my towels for you to try. | |
| And what makes these towels great and different is they're made with 100% what's called long staple shorter cotton. | |
| Comb, ring spun cotton. | |
| It's what makes the towels absorbent and softer than ever and helps them stay that way. | |

| Not good for Israel. | |
| Is anyone else in the world paying attention? | |
| What if Al-Qaeda, after 9-11 2001 said, uh, yeah, this is just a dress rehearsal. | |
| Because the architect of the October 7th terrorist attacks by Hamas sent a threat to Israel this week, claiming the massacre. | |
| Oh, this is just a rehearsal. | |
| Mm-hmm. | |
| Guy's name is uh Yahya, I don't even know how to say his name, Sinwar made the threat in his first public statement since the terror attacks. | |
| Uh the leaders of the occupation should know, referring to Israeli leaders, the attack was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. | |
| Hamas murdered what, 1,200 plus people, took all these hundreds of hostages, including children, women, elderly, and his threat came during a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to allow for the release of dozens of women and children being held uh in Gaza by Hamas in return for convicted Palestinian criminals three for one. | |
| Not a great deal, but I totally sympathize with the Israeli government for doing it. | |
| I sympathize with the families that want their loved ones back. | |
| Horrible deal. | |
| And it also gives time for Hamas to basically regroup, rearm, recalibrate their military strategy. | |
| Uh the more details we have coming out is unbelievable. | |
| Quote, a beautiful woman with the face of an angel. | |
| We now know was raped eight by eight to ten Hamas terrorists on October the 7th. | |
| Another tragic victim beheaded with a shovel, trying to defend herself. | |
| You do know a lot of this is on tape. | |
| You do know that I'm working really hard to be able to show you as much as possible with this. | |
| And it'll it will shock your conscience. | |
| It's going to be one of these shows that I start with. | |
| Um, if you if you it's gonna be a strong warning. | |
| Let me put it that way. | |
| If I can pull this off, I'm working on it. | |
| Uh and nobody seems to understand anything about Hamas's history. | |
| That is more disturbing to me than anything. | |
| And of course, the the lack of moral clarity that this is one of these instances where Israel didn't want to be at war, didn't start the war. | |
| They were dragged into it after, you know, what would be the equivalent of 40,000 Americans dying in a single day. | |
| And now their charter calls for, explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and their group covenant. | |
| And also says the peace initiatives are in contradiction to the principles of Islamic the Islamic resistance movement. | |
| Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. | |
| That's the covenant of Hamas. | |
| Their preamble states, according to Yale Law School's Lily and Goldman Law Library, quote, peace initiatives with the so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic resistant movement. | |
| Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbiters in the land of Islam. | |
| There's no solution for the Palestinian problem except jihad. | |
| Initiatives, proposals, international conferences are but a waste of time. | |
| I mean, look, when all said and done, and Israel looks at whatever security failure issues they have to look at, one of the things they will conclude is you know what? | |
| They've been firing tens and tens and tens of thousands of rockets into Israel for this length of time. | |
| It turns out the Iron Dome was very effective, but in many ways it might have just delayed what had to be inevitable, which is the destruction of Israel of Hamas in Gaza. | |
| Gaza can't be a launching pad anymore. | |
| And frankly, nor can Lebanon and Hezbollah in the north. | |
| They have to go too. | |
| The network of tenor terror tunnels needs to be wiped out. | |
| And frankly, somebody better deal with Iran before it's too late. | |
| Hannity's, he's calling a warmonger. | |
| He's a neocon. | |
| No. | |
| Hannity's pointing out a simple truth. | |
| That if Iran ever gets weapons of mass destruction, nuclear capability, the world better be on watch because that sick, ugly, twisted, demented ideology coupled with nuclear weapons will be a modern day Holocaust. | |
| There's no doubt about it. | |
| They will use them. | |
| Mutually assured destruction. | |
| Just look at what the Hamas charter says. | |
| But the more we learn about the horrors that innocent people had to endure, how terrified these hostages were, how many people were drugged, starved, shot, raped, threatened with violence if they dare to even speak. | |
| You know, held in the worst conditions imaginable. | |
| Israel is now vowing that Hamas will now take the mother of all thumpings as a punishment for failing to release all the kidnapped women as this truce now has come to an end. | |
| Now they're back to hopefully winning the war, because that's the only choice, the only option that they have. | |
| They don't really have another option here, do they? | |
| If they do, tell me what it is, because I don't see what the other option is. | |
| Anyway, uh what's this Congresswoman's name from Washington, uh, part of the squad, Congresswoman Jayapal slam. | |
| She actually talks about demanding balanced criticism when talking about rapes in this interview. | |
| I guess it was Dana Bash. | |
| Well, actually, it was very nice to me when uh I was at the first uh Republican primary debate. | |
| Uh and I give her a lot of credit for holding her to the fire. | |
| I'll play it the next hour and we'll debate that. | |
| Uh top Republicans calling on you know democratic fundraisers to stop processing donations from Hamas sympathizing groups, you got to be kidding me. | |
| Israel's ambassador to the UN is ripping this one of these Soros groups for funding, quote, some of these groups. | |
| Uh, but you know, to make that that comment, oh, finally Susan Surrandon. | |
| You know, took two weeks later. | |
| I'm sure this apology is sincere when she said, you know, um I apologize uh for saying what I said that the Jews are now getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country. | |
| Wow. | |
| I I didn't plan my speech. | |
| They just handed me the microphone. | |
| I didn't know what I was saying. | |
| Well, she knew she was being widely criticized. | |
| Why didn't she know by then? | |
| Then you wait nearly two weeks later. | |
| Protesters are now chanting and challenging Biden over Gaza at every chance that they can. | |
| Holiday events, memorial services. | |
| Now all of you know, apparently Biden's now that this is probably why he gave the apology to prominent Muslim groups last week. | |
| By the way, Lindsey Graham just totally eviscerates General Austin's warning of a strategic defeat for Israel over civilian casualties. | |
| What are they supposed to do? | |
| You know, it actually goes back and it raises questions about what would America do if we lost 35,000, 40,000 Americans in a single day. | |
| What do you think what would you want your country to do? | |
| Because Israel spent an awful lot of time, effort, money, money, energy out to go out there and warn the people, the Palestinian people, the innocent people of Gaza to get the hell out of there. | |
| And actually told them exactly where the safe areas would be to go. | |
| They sent text messages, they dropped leaflets, they did everything they could possibly do. | |
| The only people that forced them to stay there was the terror group Hamas that even built their command center and their tunnels under hospitals. | |
| That this has been their MO forever. | |
| You know, it's it's the New York Post had an interesting point today. | |
| Biden better face reality. | |
| It's time to act against Iran. | |
| He's not gonna act against Iran. | |
| He's been too busy kissing the asses of the mullahs in Iran. | |
| After, of course, the Obama Biden Iranian deal, which was a disaster, now it gets even worse under Biden. | |
| He's allowed them to sell their oil, put it back on the world market, allowing them to get rich. | |
| They are the number one state sponsor of terror. | |
| This is what they do, this is what they will always do. | |
| U.S. Navy destroyer, three commercial vessels, this attack that took place yesterday from Iran's proxy, the Houthi rebels out of Yemen. | |
| You know, they're now resuming attacks, by the way, against military bases in Iraq and Syria. | |
| What is Joe doing about any of this? | |
| Nothing. | |
| Pinpoint strikes against empty warehouses. | |
| That's about that's about the extent of the response. | |
| You know, it actually could lead to just more aggression. | |
| You know, at this point, if if you're President Chi and you've been watching what's been going on with Hamas and Israel and the administration's reaction, they're just as aware as we are that Joe's saying one thing publicly and doing something else entirely differently behind the scenes, and that's capitulating. | |
| Wouldn't we want to win the war? | |
| We go back to Harry Truman, Hiroshima, Nagasaki. | |
| A lot of collateral damage. | |
| A lot of innocent people were killed. | |
| It ended World War II. | |
| But how long would World War II have continued if he didn't do it? | |
| I mean, think about this. | |
| When fighting Hitler and Nazi Germany and Nazi expansionism all through Europe. | |
| I mean, were there any considerations made by the Nazis for collateral damage? | |
| No, they were not. | |
| I mean, I love these people that sit in the comfort of their homes watching a war on television that feel that they have the ability to lecture people how to fight wars. | |
| No, if you're gonna fight a war, fight to win it, or don't bother being in it. | |
| Period. | |
| And you got to win it expeditiously, as quickly as possible. | |
| The new faith, the new strategy for war needs to be taken right out of the page of what Trump did with the with ISIS and the caliphate. | |
| He bombed the crap out of them indiscriminately. | |
| The world wasn't even paying attention. | |
| He gets so little credit for what was a massive military victory for the U.S. But it's just sad. | |
| Watching these protesters in Philadelphia, we'll get into this at the top of the hour a little more too. | |
| Outside of a Jewish-owned restaurant. | |
| You know, Goldie Goldie, you can't hide. | |
| We charge you with genocide. | |
| Wow. | |
| Virginia, they had a festival of canceling the menorah lighting because of the Israeli Hamas war. | |
| This is happening in our country. | |
| It's happening in our halls of Congress. | |
| This is happening on our college university campuses. | |
| Nearly three in four Jewish students now reporting experiencing anti-Semitism following October 7th. | |
| When Fox News report TikTok will finally address anti-Semitism. | |
| Well, a little late. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| Man who was killed, uh, who killed a tourist near the Eiffel Tower in Paris had sworn allegiance to ISIS. | |
| Victor Davis Hansen said we may be headed for 1930s nightmare. | |
| He may not. | |
| Victor Davis Hansen is brilliant. | |
| When he talks, I listen. | |
| When he writes, I read. | |
| He said something eerie, something creepy is really happening in the world, and now in America's as well. | |
| The dark mood is brought on by elite universities, the diversity equity, and inclusion industry and massive immigration from illiberal nations and anti-enlightenment societies. | |
| Goes on to talk about Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, hundreds of students writing on news that a single teacher in her private social media account had expressed support for Israel, waving Palestinian flags, screaming violent threats, the student mob rioted, destroyed school property, sought the teacher out, tried to crash into her classroom before she was saved from violence by other teachers and an eventual eventual police arrival. | |
| Goes on to say the subtext was that the overwhelming minority of students whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools, which says a lot. | |
| And he goes on to say, you know, the racist reality that as oppressed that they were exempt. | |
| He called it acuculated to the racist reality of the oppressed that they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher as a Jewish, thus white oppressive supporter of Israel was reduced to, in the words of an enthusiastic commentator on TikTok of a video that went viral, a quote, cracker ass B I T C H? | |
| Really? | |
| This is sick. | |
| This is our country. | |
| This is happening in. | |
| It's happening all over Europe. | |
| It's happening around the world. | |
| It's happening in the halls of Congress. | |
| Nobody there is getting expelled. | |
| It's happening in other continents as well. | |
| Gas the Jews, F the Jews. | |
| When did that ever happen? | |
| Unreal. | |
| U.S. officials say the attack on the warship was fully enabled by Iran. | |
| What are you going to do about it then? | |
| Forensic teams. | |
| This was in the New York Post. | |
| Examining the bodies of Israeli women killed by Hamas found widespread evidence of rape, torture, and mutilation. | |
| Where are women's groups? | |
| You know, the silence has been deafening. | |
| Where are prominent liberal democratic women? | |
| Why are they so silent? | |
| Why are they so tolerant of squad members and their hatred and anti-Semitism? | |
| Makes no sense, or does it? | |
| Never they circle the wagons under every circumstance. | |
