McConaughey takes over presser |
Headline: Matthew McConaughey speaks at WH about gun violence and makes *some* good points The First take: Let's all remember, this guy is not just an actor, he's an award-winning actor. He makes a very good living convincing people to believe the words coming out of his mouth. |

Last Tuesday's recall in San Francisco proves what I have been saying about the mismatch. Radical, sanctimonious/hypocrite liberals/progressives are dedicated and work at their goals 24/7 whereas we "deplorables" have every second year to express ourselves. By then, even if we are successful, we are fighting over half a loaf and often down to a slice because the radicals have established a beach head which is either permanent or dramatically changes/alters society .

The U.N proves time and again how basically worthless it is by virtue of it's persistent anti-Semitic approach towards Israel.
The U.N's blatant bias creates a trickle down effect by providing false information which is used to spread more hate of Israel on college campuses.

US State Department accuses UN of singling Israel out in its COI
The United Nations released a Commission of Inquiry report that blamed Israel for the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians.
By OMRI NAHMIAS
WASHINGTON – The US State Department responded on Tuesday to an initial report by the United Nations’ highly contentious Commission of Inquiry, which charged that Israel is largely to blame for the conflict with the Palestinians, saying, “The COI in its current form is a continuation of a longstanding pattern of unfairly singling out Israel.”
State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said, “As we have stated repeatedly, we firmly oppose the open-ended and vaguely defined nature of the UN Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry on the situation in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, which represents a one-sided, biased approach that does nothing to advance the prospects for peace.
“The report of the commission, released today, does nothing to alleviate our concerns,” he added. “While the United States believes the HRC plays a crucial role in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms globally, this COI and report do not advance this goal.”
Price went on to say that Israel is the only country subject to a standing agenda item at the council, “and has received disproportionate focus at the HRC compared to human rights situations elsewhere in the world.”
"The existence of this COI in its current form is a continuation of a longstanding pattern of unfairly singling out Israel.”
US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price
“While no country is above scrutiny, the existence of this COI in its current form is a continuation of a longstanding pattern of unfairly singling out Israel,” Price said in a statement. “We reengaged with and later rejoined the HRC in part to be in a better position to address its flaws, including this one, and we will continue to seek reforms.”
The UN's report
The brief 18-page report by the UN’s “Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem and Israel” posted Tuesday on the UN website marks the first of what will be an annual report to the UNHRC in Geneva.
The report spoke of Israel’s actions in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem as a situation “in perpetuity,” saying it was unlikely that it would end without international intervention.
According to Navanethem Pillay, who heads the three-member panel that conducted the probe and who is the former UN high commissioner for human rights, “The findings and recommendations relevant to the underlying root causes were overwhelmingly directed toward Israel, which we have taken as an indicator of the asymmetrical nature of the conflict and the reality of one state occupying the other.”
The UN report plans to focus in part on issues of discrimination by the Jewish state both within and without the country’s sovereign borders.
Price, in his response, said that the United States “remains deeply committed to helping achieve peace for both Israelis and Palestinians and will support actions in the UN that bring the parties together to advance prospects for peace.”
“The United States is committed to advancing human rights in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza,” he said. “Israelis and Palestinians deserve equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity and, importantly, dignity. Promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms is important in its own right and as a means of preserving and advancing the prospects of a negotiated two-state solution.”

Hiding Behind Buzzwords: How BDS Spreads its Anti-Israel Agenda
According to the website of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, the initiative’s main objective is to work “to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and to pressure Israel to comply with international law.” As such, BDS aims to delegitimize the Jewish state’s global standing by arguing that Israel has no right to exist.

Report: Iranian attack on Israelis in Thailand thwarted
Iran continues to target Israelis abroad in retaliation for assassination of senior Iranian officials.
Security forces in Thailand thwarted an Iranian plot to attack Israeli and western targets in the country, it was cleared for publication Monday evening, Mako News reported.
An Iranian agent, who was arrested in Indonesia with a fake Bulgarian passport, is believed to have been the mastermind behind the planned attacks. He worked with other elements to establish terrorist infrastructure and cells in Thailand. Although the attempted attack was thwarted, the Iranians continue to try to carry out attacks in Thailand and elsewhere.
Israeli security officials believe Iran is seeking to retaliate for a series of assassinations of senior Iranian officials, which have been blamed on Israel.
A travel warning remains in effect for Turkey amid reports that Iran is targeting Israelis in that country.

Iranian scientist found dead after developing top-secret missiles

An Iranian scientist who was developing top-secret missiles and drones mysteriously died after a dinner party.
Ayoob Entezari reportedly returned home after the party with food poisoning symptoms and later died in the hospital.
Before his death, he was allegedly working on new missiles and drones at a research and development center in the provincial capital of Yazd.
According to reports, the person who had invited him to the dinner party fled the country.
Other reports suggested Entezari was assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli national intelligence agency.
The judicial authorities of Yazd Province, however, said Dr. Entezari was just an ordinary employee of an industrial company and died in the hospital due to “illness”.
The scientist had graduated from the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran with a PhD in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Dr. Entezari died on May 31, just one day after the death of a colonel from Iran’s elite Quds Force was announced by the Islamic Republic.
The official IRNA news agency said Col. Ali Esmailzadeh died during an “incident in his residence” in the city of Karaj.
The unit is part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and is responsible for overseas missions.
His death was the second in the same unit in just two weeks.

Back in 2020, another two members of the unit were killed, sparking fears of a possible revenge attack.
Senior commander Muslim Shahdan was reportedly killed in an air strike after his car was targeted on the border of Iraq and Syria.
His death followed the killing of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh a few days earlier.
Fakhrizadeh, a leading official in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme, was shot 13 times on a road to the east of Iran’s capital, Tehran.
In response, Iran vowed to “strike like thunder” after it blamed Israel for the assassination.
Israel hit Iran’s nuclear sites with three major attacks involving drones and smuggled bombs, hoping to cripple Tehran’s nuke ambitions.
The triple attack effort started in July 2020, when a mysterious explosion rocked the Iran Centre for Advanced Centrifuges facility at Natanz – baffling Iranian officials who would not work out how it blew up, reported the New York Post.
The second operation saw the smuggling of explosives by scientists approached by Mossad.
The bombs were detonated in April after Iran announced it had started to use advanced IR-5 and IR-6 centrifuges in the hall.
Mossad then targeted the Iran Centrifuge Technology Company in Karaj to try to stifle the production of centrifuges and disrupt attempts to fix the Natanz site.
The number of tit-for-tat attacks dramatically escalated the following year, sparking fears that the Israel-Iran “shadow war” could lead to an open conflict.
At least 20 civilian ships were attacked by mines, drones and commandos in the first half of 2021 during this undeclared conflict.
British armed forces veteran Adrian Underwood was killed in a kamikaze drone strike.
The attack was on an oil tanker, MT Mercer Street, off Oman while it was on its way to the UAE.
Suspicion immediately fell on Iran after the attack, but later the country’s state media claimed responsibility and said the attack was retaliation for an Israeli strike on Syria.
