  1. It turns out, perhaps predictably, that the ultimate source of these claims is none other than Israeli intelligence.


    And mothers of our troops thank Israeli intelligence for their assistance. I mean it's not like Iran's efforts in the past aren't already known...esp. for us in Syria....so this help is just specific for current times in the region....esp. with the attacks against Israel diverting attention. No, not a world out there for snowflakes....sad, but oh so true.

    And Bushy is no comparison to our current President. Bushy wanted what the neocons wanted....endless $$$ wars. Trump even suggests pull outs and the same go crazy.

    Trump is currently too beloved in Israel.....far from "setting him up" or they WOULD be the lone ranger.

  3. Finally.....better choice! The "pinks and greens" making a come back...mostly.

    To Stand Out, the Army Picks a New Uniform With a World War II Look

    .......

    “We went back and asked, when is the most prominent time when the Army’s service to our nation was universally recognized, and the answer came very quickly,” said Daniel A. Dailey, the sergeant major of the Army, the highest-ranking enlisted soldier in the service. “That victory, that impact on the nation, is still felt today by the sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters of the ‘Greatest Generation.’”

    .......
    The troops who beat the Axis powers in the 1940s gave the service uniform, with its slightly rose-hued trousers or skirt and distinctive belted olive coat, an affectionate nickname: “pinks and greens.” This time around, the Army has decided to just call them Army Greens.


    At a White House event for veterans in April, President Trump praised the style.

    “Those beautiful new uniforms with the belt — it was a big deal, the belt,” he said. “And if you think those uniforms were inexpensive, they were very expensive. They were very. But they wanted it, and we got it.”

    Army Greens will be the military equivalent of a business suit, which the Army largely stopped using during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just as civilians have been dressing more casually in professional and social settings, troops have been wearing camouflage fatigues in situations that used to call for a jacket and tie, like office work or travel between bases. Even in the Pentagon, officers spend a good deal of their time in combat boots.

    With far fewer troops deployed in combat operations now, though, the Army has signaled that it wants to get back to the old spit and polish. It is hoping that reintroducing an iconic service uniform from the days of the Band of Brothers and Rosie the Riveter will help reframe its public image.

    [​IMG]© Associated Pr The first American war heroes to capture public attention in the fraught months after Pearl Harbor were often Army fliers like Maj. Gen. James Doolittle (third from left, front row), who led a daring air raid over Japan on April 18, 1942. He and other veterans of the raid reunited in North Africa in July 1943 for a champagne toast served in coffee cups.

  4. Huh? Doesn't compute with current reality. Join the whiners who think the current economy is really due to Obama! Compasses (heads) need correction.

    What is happening all over the world, especially in Africa and Europe, is horrendous. There must be something the Vatican can do to protect the lives of Christians and their places of worship but that does not seem to be the focus of this papacy. But in some of the most persecuted areas miracles are taking place.

    My brother is an evangelical Christian and late last year was invited to participate in an open air revival-like event in Lahore, Pakistan. Of course, Christians are persecuted there, taxed, and dealt with extremely harshly and often with deadly force. I was quite sure my brother would be putting his life at risk. In spite of me trying to convince him to pass this by, he cautiously accepted. I had a hard time believing that such an event was even possible and worried that my brother would be kidnapped, ransomed, or killed. How could 100,000 Christians (or interested Muslims) be allowed to gather?

    A few facts about Pakistan: Islam is the state religion of Pakistan, and about 95-98% of Pakistanis are Muslim. Pakistan has the second largest number of Muslims in the world after Indonesia. The majority are Sunni (estimated at 75-95%), with an estimated 5-20% Shia.

    My brother shared my fears with the Pakistani pastor who began this Christian ministry. He promised to stay in touch via WhatsApp and Facetime me when time allowed. I received a video call when Dave, my brother, arrived in Lahore. They were surrounded by at least ten men in military fatigues with automatic weapons. Pastor Anwar made sure I saw the guys, the guns, and the reinforced autos they picked Dave up in. It was beyond surreal as I asked him how on earth he was able to secure such protection. Anwar said he worked in Pakistani military intelligence for many years before his conversion so he had "connections".

    To make a long story short, if I had not been given a live feed from the revival I would not have believed it possible to hold such an event. I took a few minutes from the feed to show you and strengthen all that when we have the courage to follow God's will, step out of the way and watch Him gather his beloved people to Himself.

    My brother is just ending his preaching and is introducing the keynote speaker, Pastor Anwar. If I did not witness this myself and speak to my brother moments afterwards, I would not have believed it.

    ***I have been trying for a week to upload the video but I think it is too large a file to post here. It is an MOV File and it's 181 MB. Any suggestions on how to do this? I really want to show you the unbelievable!

    I can at least give you the link that leads to the website of Pastor Anwar. https://isaactelevision.tv/

    He does much of his evangelization via a Christian satellite program. Pastor Anwar said that it is a safe and anonymous way to preach Christ. I did not believe until I saw my own brother preaching on stage to thousands.

    Israel deploying troops to Central America for border security training.

    1,000 Israeli Soldiers To Arrive in Honduras to Train Troops, Police on Border Protection


    Honduras will receive 1,000 Israeli soldiers to train the country's army for border protection, fight against drug trafficking, investigation, and counterterrorism.


    A multilateral military treaty between Honduras, Israel, and the United States will see the deployment of 1000 Israeli soldiers at Honduras. They will train the Armed Forces of Honduras (FFAA) and National Police (PN).

    Honduran Police Clashes with Protesters over Health and Education

    The main mission of the troops is to train for border protection to stop migrants fleeing Honduras to the U.S., especially children.

    This would be the second time that Honduras is allowing foreign military personnel in the territory and the first time in Israel’s history to send troops abroad.

    Apart from border protection, fight against drug trafficking, investigation, and counterterrorism will be offered as well.

    According to local news media El Heraldo, the presence of Israeli soldiers is part of bilateral cooperation between the two countries before Honduras transferred its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

    The Israeli army will share space with the Joint Task Force-Bravo (FTCB) of the U.S. at the Jose Enrique Soto Cano air base in Palmerola.

    Honduras also has an agreement of more than a million dollars with Israel in terms of purchasing arms, military equipment, and repowering ships and planes. The 10-year agreement was signed in 2016.

    The military training agreement was joined by the U.S. because they have a permanent military base in Palmerola and want Honduras to guard their borders due to an upsurge of migrants going towards the North American nation.

    The agreement was discussed between Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during the inauguration of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

    Post it to Youtube and link it here. It's very easy to setup an account and upload a video. 181 MB is way too large a file size to post on a forum like this. Your video will get way more exposure that way anyway if you want that.

    Nice try at the false dichotomy but I never supported Obama and railed against him and his policies from day one.
    I have a newsflash for you; It doesn't take a genius to see that billionaire oligarchs pushing policies in the US to make it easy for billionaire oligarchs to offshore their factories and jobs to increase profits (NAFTA, GATT, EPA regulations) and then acting the savior by knocking them down when they have run their course and the people are fed up is some kind of economic miracle. It's a simple shell game. It's a joke to think anyone is fooled by it.

    I did as Don suggested and now the short video is available. My brother is the gentleman introducing the Pakistani pastor. A word of note, the translator has a voice that probably didn't need amplification.:) She was wonderful to my brother so I love her.

    Thanks, Don!

  12. That's why I said you COULD "join" the whiners who reason like that....NOT that you supported Obama. Trump is against your pattern of "billionaire oligarchs" (not exactly the correct title for grouping all wealthy people btw) offshoring jobs....that's why he "waved his magic wand" and brought back businesses to this country for jobs and deregulated for small businesses. And he takes the guff from many who hate he's dismantling the stupid trade groups of old. Nothing is that black and white....but desperate people would sure like it to be in order to make sense out of the diabolical. You need more than such limited summaries to fight against those Lucifarian tactics, which change with every human tactic that hopes to defeat such evil alone.

    Do you think there is an argument for dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza and killing them all? Dropping another 1000 nuclear bombs all over the entire muslim world / and all those countries that sneeze in the direction of poor wee Israel might be exactly what the Blessed Virgin is hoping for too. Couple thousand nukes on those pesky Russians, teach them! Lets not forget the Chinese, surely they deserve at least a couple thousand nukes while we're at it.
    Iran, naturally, gets 500 nukes and should think itself lucky that the we are transforming it into a peaceful and tranquil place. Venezuela should only get a half a dozen nukes ( not too many, case we hit the oil). We'll only bomb half of Ukraine bcoz we dont really know what's what or who's who over there. But at the same time, we shouldn't be seen to be showing weakness of any sort.
    That's prolly enough for now. But we reserve the right to protect ourselves should any other country look to use its own resources or develope itself and its people.
