France has joined the international call for a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called this a "moral mistake" because his line continues to insist that a ceasefire would be giving in to Hamas.
The death toll in Gaza is reported to be over 11,000 people. Even U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that is "far too many."
Israel is now saying that that all of Gaza is fair game because it is “the entire city is one big terror base." The President said thatthey found a copy of Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" in a "children's living room" in Gaza. A Palestinian user on Twitter called this as a joke weeks ago.
Propaganda is hard to sort through on both sides. This video is trending of a Palestinian pretending to be hospitalized.
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said this regarding Gaza, 'What is needed here is an occupation, as every time our enemies lost territory, they lost the war. We should have full control, this will deter our enemies and let them know we have won'.
Israel further rejected the idea of any timeline for the bombing to stop because no one put a timeline on the U.S. after 9/11.
The U.S. response to 9/11 should be a cautionary tale, not a roadmap. Who in the year 2023 thinks that the endless wars on terror solved anything other than inspiring more terror??
The Prime Minister said that Israel could put down Hamas faster than the U.S. defeated ISIS or al-Qaeda. The U.S. did not defeat ISIS or al-Qaeda and also, this is a terrible competition. I want out.
The Washington Post is reporting that a Ukrainian colonel named Roman Chervinsky was the lead on the Nord Stream pipeline destruction. They are saying that this man had "deep ties" to the Ukrainian military and worked as a Special Operations forces unit.
So this – forgive me – gaunt and skinny guy, led a six-person special ops team to sabotage a major gas pipeline for Ukraine, which has no Navy?
The Post says that this was a secret SBU mission and does not mention any U.S. involvement. The report says that the U.S. had been warned about the possibility of a Nord Stream attack but believed it had been canceled for whatever reason.
Chervinsky denied this story in a written response: “All speculations about my involvement in the attack on Nord Stream are being spread by Russian propaganda without any basis.”
Russia has not accused Ukraine of the Nord Stream sabotage. Russia has repeatedly asked for an international investigation.
This report is…hard to believe.

U.S. Dollar Gets A Failing Grade

Moody's downgraded the U.S. dollar from stable to negative on Friday due to the county's debt and political instability. It certainly isn't a good look to continuously hit these debt ceilings.
The U.S. still has a AAA rating but Moody's is signaling that this is on shaky ground.
"In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, Moody's expects that the U.S. fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weaking debt affordability," the statement said.
Speaking of debt ceilings, the next one happens Friday, November 17 if Congress doesn't pass another spending bill. It feels like Groundhog Day, doesn't it?

Germany has launched a petition to change the law to allow children to have the rights to "sexual self-determination" based on a petition from a group that advocates lowering the age of sexual consent.
The group is called Krumme-13. They are a lobbying group run by a man named Dieter Gieseking, who previously spent time in prison on charges of child pornography. This is who the German government is accepting legal changes from??
The proposed law says that children "should not be viewed as legal objects" but should have “the right to have a say in all matters that affect their emotional, mental and physical well-being,” and “the right to the free development of their personality.”
The original Krumme-13 proposal included the language to allow children the right to "sexual self-determination" but it is not in the current proposal. The group had also previously advocated for pedophilia as a sexual identity.
"Pedophiles in particular must be fundamentally protected from discrimination in the Basic Law," they argued. "And this is completely independent of sexual criminal law. The vast majority of the estimated 250,000 pedophiles do not commit any of these types of crimes. Pedophilia is a separate sexual identity.”
No.
