Shit is popping OFF in Israel: Hamas is invading/shooting rockets, Israeli police seem completely blind sided, Israeli govt declaring war.

Thread of craziest shit:
Hamas is *hang gliding* into Israel:

Hamas rolling around in a pickup truck in an Israeli neighborhood, aimlessly shooting

Maybe the same guys? Gun battles street to street in Israeli towns. I think this is Ashkelon? Not sure.

I guess maybe Sderot, not Ashkelon. They're close by anyway.

More gunmen in trucks. Notice an Israeli police SUV just zipping by:

Wow - Apparently Hamas is even invading by boat!

Rocket attacks are hitting all over the south of the country:

The rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip:

Hamas forces are apparently running completely unobstructed ? Wild

Hamas took out an Israeli tank:

Dawg, I would maybe not stand real close to that burning tank

More footage of the Israeli tank taken out by Hamas militants:

Hamas bugging out back into Gaza on a stolen humvee? Wild

Yeah apparently Hamas has made off with some Israeli military vehicles:

It looks like Hamas has made off with two or three Israeli humvees

Good Morning, resuming

Looks like Hamas took out that Israeli tank with a drone that dropped grenades - similar to how Ukraine has been hitting Russian tanks;
Israel seems completely unprepared for the new style of war with cheap drones turning old mortar shells into precision bombs — Here, Hamas released footage shows a drone dropping a shell onto Israel troops fighting from what they thought was cover:
Wild:

Israeli Commander Nimrod Aloni captured

Hamas must have gotten super deep into Israel AND BACK to do this. What a massive intelligence failure.

Unreal:

Israel is EVACUATING its airbase near the Gaza Strip as Palestinians in vehicles drive unimpeded into Israel. Are they Hamas? Are the civilian refugees? No one has any idea. Israel has lost control over the border *for now* it seems
Israeli troops in Sderot are searching for Hamas infiltrators

Perhaps the tempo has shifted and there are now gunmen in hiding, within residential districts? There doesn’t seem to be any gunfire in the background/urgency in their movements
Maybe the tempo has decreased. Maybe not — Israeli troops in Sderot shoot at and fire a rocket towards Hamas militants but….don’t they seem relaxed to you? Odd. Maybe that’s just how it normally is/no wasted movements.
Israel striking back by bombing the Gaza Strip. Not sure that Hamas will let up.
Update: it seems Israel has totally lost control of certain areas, but is confident they will regain them soon — here are Palestinian reinforcements joining Hamas in Sderot
Hamas has apparently captured many Israeli soldiers and civilians. Here is a female Israeli soldier who has been captured and taken back into Gaza from Israel by the Palestinians:
Wild: Israel has completely lost control of settlements near Gaza, Hamas is straight up carrying off Israeli captives a mix of civilian and military, men and women alike
Holy shit.

Hamas have captured an entire Israeli post and all its equipment. Presumably all of the soldiers/police Israel had there have fled, been killed, or been captured. Incredible
It is NOT a small base. Hamas has completely captured this IDF base from Israel, and the Palestinians appear to have taken possession of multiple armored vehicles. If they can get them working quickly, it’ll be like a more kinetic situation than the Taliban takeover shortly
Another captured IDF base near Gaza. There are multiple tanks just sitting around. Apparently Hamas has taken out several poorly defended posts during the holiday hours, but has not made much of an effort to take the tanks, capturing armored vehicles and trucks instead.
Hamas has knocked out multiple IDF tank crews. Here the Palestinians appear to have been able to overrun a tank, and capture its crew. Evidently they shot one who was resisting and are dragging off a surviving Israeli as a captive.
Update: it looks like the female Israeli soldier captured by Hamas is still alive, and being held hostage somewhere in Gaza by the Palestinians

I wonder if this is a way to limit IDF willingness to bomb Gaza?
Woah:

Saudi Arabia has put out an official statement, calling for a ceasefire but also explicitly noting that these events are the result of Israeli occupation of Palestine

I wonder how that impacts Saudi and Israeli cooperation

This is what a lot of political discourse boils down to Image
Our national life is dominated by the people in the middle, who are - if not women themselves - highly feminized by school and institutional employment
“There’s a typo on the graph!!”

If you did that, the substance of the abortion debate would be revealed as;

Women keep having sex with guys who do not want to marry them, whose kids they themselves don’t even want, and are terrified about being low-status single moms—so they want to be able to kill the kid
Rape & incest (incest??!) are used to bully people into silence but are a tiny percentage of abortions and the women who have the fewest abortions (college educated white/asian) are the most vocal and the ones who have the most (non-college black) are also most often single moms
You’re not supposed to point it out bc you’re calling a lot of women not just slutty but ghoulish in how self-serving and narcissistic they are

But it’s true 🤷‍♂️

That’s why this is such an intractable political problem — dudes still wanna smash these hoes so they aren’t honest

2024 will be won or lost via White America:


Only 55% of non-college graduate whites bothered to vote last time. If just 60% did, Trump would have won.

College educated whites went 54% Democratic Party in 2024. If only 50% did, Trump would have won.cookpolitical.com/swingometerImage
Every other type of political calculus is basically innumerate and the people spouting it are dumb.

Just raise the turnout of people with lower than potential turnout whose affiliation is favorable, and win any swing affiliation among people who regularly vote.
If you want Trump to win the 2024 election please understand that everything BESIDES:

••• registering & turning out the white (especially male, non-college, married) voters in MI/PA/WI (states full of them, btw)•••

is a complete waste of time.

Youth unemployment in the US vanishes, corporate profits slightly decrease, prices slightly rise, male labor force participation skyrockets, farm payrolls and ancillary jobs increase outside of the biggest metropolitan areas, traffic decreases, etc.
It befuddles a particular type of High IQ Immigrant, but the US has many local economies where it’s all Americans and only recently (40 years) hugely employed immigrants

For its majority history and broadly prosperous times, it was—being frank—WORKING CLASS WHITES doing it all
• White people with money
• High IQ non-white immigrants
• non-white people without money

all tend to have this same blind spot bc they are all concentrated in cities and mostly deal with each other

But the US is actually full of lots of white people doing real labor👍

Trump knows better than to adopt a strongly worded and high-attack surface area position

People who loathe social conservatives but are excited for an end to “wokeism” (like Hanania) read this as an end to social conservatism, but Trump is how you get Gorsuch + Kavanaugh + ACB
I do not think Trump is a social conservative and I think social conservatives know Trump is not a social conservative.

Roe v. Wade did get overturned because of a President going to prayer breakfasts and speaking about the Holy Spirit and the like; Image
The best results for social conservatism—in the modern era—did not come from Reagan, did not come from Bush, and certainly did not come from Romney or Pence.

They came from this guy, who gave permission to—earmuffs, social cons—a sexualized, irreligious, bombastic country; Image

You can see atavistic American features in this man as he transmogrifies into a modern Anglo-American. This is what happened at the first Thanksgiving when Puritans got drunk and realized the King only ruled in name.

If you give it long enough, he’ll be able to reconstruct something like the Boston Brahmin accent
If he drinks the corn (MAIZE) syrup, he will mutate, like a locust in its gregarious phase, taking on forms known to the aborigines of the continent, who were transformed after journeying from Beringia. The Englishman becomes an American irreversibly then.
