Hallow

Happy Tuesday.

Officials in Nevada are going to remove a 43-foot sculpture of a naked Donald Trump. It is made of foam coating a steel mesh and weighs more than 6,000 pounds. The artist said that the nudity was "intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures."

In Case You Missed It. 

🩻 A new study shows that breast cancer cases are up 1% per year but deaths are down 44% from 1989 due to advances in treatment and detection. 

🚙 California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill requiring cars to trigger an alarm every time a driver goes more than 10 mph over the speed limit. Reason.com calls this "a rare victory for liberty in California." Yep.

🥣 California also banned Fruit Loops cereal, hot Cheetos and other processed snacks from public schools. 

🇷🇼 Rwanda has restricted hospital visits and funeral crowds due to an outbreak of Marburg virus that has reportedly killed 8 people.

🇳🇱 Mark Rutte has been sworn in as the new head of NATO, replacing Jens Stoltenberg. Rutte was voted out as Prime Minister of the Netherlands so he gets to fail up as most globalists do.

🇹🇭 At least 23 are dead, many of them children, from a horrific bus crash in Thailand.

Lead: Israel Invades Southern Lebanon

credit: afp

President Biden said that he does not want Israel to move ground troops into Lebanon but the Pentagon says that it will support Israel's ground invasion of Lebanon. The President called for a "ceasefire now" and said that he wanted Israel to stop. 

Israel is not listening to the U.S. president, but they are coordinating with the U.S. military. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) launched a ground invasion into Lebanon which they are calling "limited, localized, and targeted ground raids” against Hezbollah. 

There is no such thing as targeted ground raids that do not kill civilians. This is known as the "precision paradox." We are told that only military targets will be killed but that is never true.

Ironically, Hezbollah was formed in response to Israel's 1982 ground invasion of Lebanon so a thinking person might ask: Will this shut down terrorism or inspire more? If the past is prologue, it will inspire more. 

Meanwhile, Russian President Putin called on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to get out of Lebanon immediately. Putin was rushed back to the Kremlin late last night in an emergency meeting as Israel's invasion began.

The White House is warning that Iran is planning an attack on Israel, which the U.S. will retaliate for if it happens. Israel has been awaiting a response since it killed a senior Hezbollah leader inside Iran weeks ago. 

Turkey, a NATO country, says that it will support Lebanon. If that happens, would this pit one NATO country against another if the U.S. is supporting Israel? 

Dock Workers On Strike

Dock workers did begin their strike today meaning that the movement of goods along the eastern seaboard will be severely affected. Which goods? Who knows really but the union says that military goods and cruise ships will be unaffected. So bombs will continue to flow. 

The strike pits the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) against the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX). The ILA want a 77% increase in pay over the next six years plus assurances that their jobs will not be replaced by automation. 

You may recall that the West Coast dock strike that happened last September resulted in a 32% pay increase. It's unlikely the ILA will get 77% so there is a lot of room to negotiate. 

How will this affect American consumers? 

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Big retailers, with their busy fall shopping season just starting to kick in, say that for now they can withstand the slowdown because they brought in products earlier than usual this year and diverted other cargoes to West Coast ports in case of a strike. But executives say a walkout lasting a week or longer would push up shipping costs and might trigger product shortages."

Julian Assange Breaks His Silence

Julian Assange spoke publicly for the first time about his political imprisonment at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). He said that he finds the climate of journalism and free speech worse than ever and it is hard to disagree with him. 

Assange accused the U.S. Justice Department under President Trump of using a "radical and ominous interpretation of the U.S. constitution" to prosecute him. The prosecution, he said, was led by "two wolves in MAGA hats," Mike Pompeo and William Barr, both former CIA. Wikileaks had embarrassed the CIA by exposing oh-so-many violations. 

Assange was subject to terrifying abuse but he says that he is still not quite ready to speak out about his fellow prisoners who are still being abused. One shutters to think. He did, however, speak out about former CIA and Wikileaks whistleblower Joshue Shulte, who was sentenced to 40 years of prison under extreme isolation. Assange says that the windows of his cell are blacked out and a "white noise machine plays 24 hours a day over his door so that he cannot even shout through it." He says that this is "more severe" than the conditions found at Guantanamo Bay.

Incidentally, Shulte was prosecuted by the same prosecutor who is currently prosecuting Diddy and New York City Mayor Adams, Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. That guy is busy. 

Assange said that Europe is vulnerable to having its mutual legal assistance hijacked by foreign powers (the U.S.) to go after dissenting voices. I'll say! 

It is worth noting that the Obama administration declined to pursue Assange but the wolves of the Trump administration were able to. The Trump campaign should absolutely be pressed about this.

Indiana Taxpayers Must Fund Sex Change of A Child Killer

The state of Indiana will fund a sex change surgery for a man who killed an 11-month-old baby by strangulation. Why? Because the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana Department of Corrections on his behalf and won.

Jonathan C Richardson now identifies as Autumn Cordellionè. The ACLU argued that denying him a sex change on taxpayer dollars violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment." In other words making him live as a man is cruel to a man who killed his own stepdaughter. 

Since 2020, the state has been giving him cross-sex hormones as well as women’s “panties, make-up, and form-fitting clothing,” according to the lawsuit. Now he wants the state to remove his testicles and build him a vagina. 

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita says that he will fight the ruling.

News By The Numbers

$4,000. That is how much someone spent at an auction to buy a Taylor Swift guitar, only to smash it to bits with a hammer. This clip has been viewed at least 17 million times.

100. That's the age of President Jimmy Carter today.

36. That is how many seasons of the Simpsons there have been and…ever will be? The show aired what they called the "series finale" this weekend but no one knew that was going to happen until it happened. 

One week. That is how long the Huupe smark basketball hoop was up in New York City before they disconnected it because people were streaming raunchy behavior. This is why we can't have nice things.
