Going by the numbers, there are more Jews in the USA than Muslims.
Looking it up, they both seem to hover around 1.0 to 1.1%.

In general, there has been a larger influx of Muslims in America since Bush's wars. Zoomers are more likely to interact with Muslims when compared to any other generation, and with that comes a bigger presence in leading political movements. It also helps that Muslims have a more pronounced culture. I live in a blue area and you definitely see more outward Muslims then Jews. There has also been major demographic shifts around my area with Muslims making a much larger percentage of the population.
 
Iran has done all it can to disengage from Israel. You'll notice they avoided continuing the missile spat after the two initial exchanges. Israel is the one always trying to jew up conflict and to trick America into starting a war with Iran. Hence Pissrael are the shit-stirers. Iran just wants to be left alone.
Iran funded Hamas/Hezbollah/Houthi/Iraqi Militias/Syria and was working on a nuclear program.

Israel has crippled Hezbollah to the point where the Lebanese govt is trying to dissolve it, has caused severe damage to Hamas, and the Iraqi Militias/Syria are out of the picture. The only things Iran has left are Houthi and the nuclear program.

About the missile thing, they are still threatening to strike Israel with True Promise 3. Israel destroyed their planetary mixers that they used to mix up solid fuel for missiles and now Iran can't waste missiles. True Promise 1/2 injured an Arab 8 year old and killed a Gazan. Their full force couldn't kill a Jew or hit a target.

Suggesting that Israel is trying to start a conflict when Iranian sponsored terrorist organizations started this round is retarded. You're just mad that your based zog resistance is failing because nasrallah is dead and he was the center of the axis of resistance.

Suggesting Israel is trying to drag the US in a war when Trump was very clear that he's not going to go for a strike unless diplomacy fails. Israel hasn't protested against diplomacy.
 
Hot take, being a good defense lawyer shouldn't be thought bad of since it's the DA who accepts the deal and the Judge to rubber stamp it. Blame DAs and the Justice Department(s) for being pussies and overcharging without good goddamn evidence (or allowing themselves to be bullied by glowies).

Plus defending your client to the best of your ability even if they're guilty as sin just on the off chance they're not 3 parallel universes away is an American past time since Benjamin Motherfucking Franklin, and I rather like that part of our ethos.

You know, like what Trump and the J6ers deserve since they've been treated as guilty until proven guiltier by the judiciary and public, so mayhaps I'm a bit biased towards innocent until proven guilty, actually upholding what our Justice System should be instead of the 'uwu protect illegals, let DA's play fuck fuck games' it's become.
It goes beyond being a lawyer though, Dershowitz is the epitome of the type of kike that will sue you for antisemitism if you cut him off in traffic
 
Here is another good one.

With the power of AI this could be sent to the next level, I bet.
Bajorans were far more likely to die to one their silly rituals then the Cardassian state. Rituals I will remind everyone Cardassia allowed them to keep unlike the secular Federation that views religions as superstitious nonsense. It is undeniable that Bajor was more orderly and prosperous under Cardassian colonization then the utter chaos of their current "independence".

And what do they do with it? Hand it over immediately to another great power. The Federation! Now they are being swamped with Vulcan refugees. Within two generations bajorans will be a minority on their own planet while the Federation raises their brats on secular beliefs and gay marriage. Which i will remind you remains banned on Cardassia.
 
When (historically) environmental progressives/leftists are crying about prices on Temu, you know the whole plot has been lost.
They handwaved away their willingness to buy cheap shit from China with the phrase “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.” They basically absolved their own funko pop addiction with climate doomerism. (“let’s eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.”)

ETA: Homan looks like the physical embodiment of the sentiment that is authorizing him. In the best possible way. It’s crazy. He looks like he’d deport you if you said ketchup belongs on hot dogs and I am FINE with it.

Trump is still pissed about the autopen. https://wltreport.com/2025/04/27/president-trump-calls-those-who-operated-bidens-autopen/

Star wars I think as a movie franchise is definitely done for a while at least. As far as games though I do think there is still some life in it. Respawn entertainment has made good Jedi games. The elephant in the room is all the best Disney wars games don't move past the OG and prequel trilogies. They can't make anything that's sequel based.

Star Trek is in an interesting position. At times I feel like there's two factions of people. There's the retards making shit like discovery and Picard seasons 1-2, the typical woke crap. But then there's actual people who care, making good trek like season 3 of Picard and strange new worlds. Its definitely skitzo in quality but I feel like there is potential for it to grow out of its rut.
Most importantly in my mind they've actually been ok with acknowledging or at least implying that the shitty shows are in an alt canon unlike star wars. There's more potential for them to move on from mistakes and try for what people actually want in the future.


Dr who is turbo fucked. I literally cannot make heads or tails of the basic canon anymore and they've completely destroyed the steady progression of the character. A white guy for 50 years, he's now a woman/ black man Fighting for trans rights or some shit. I literally lost complete track of his character. I don't think there's a way to recover at all. There's no appeal to him outside a British audience or an appreciation for British culture and the characters identity has been destroyed.
You have to look at from their perspective. These are fucking old millenial WHITE men in MILWAUKEE. They have to, nay, they MUST fence sitting.
I respect them immensely and greatly enjoy their bad movie viewings but they are the very definition of middle of the road.

I'm starting to think that the people writing Star Trek didn't actually understand politics.

They handwaved away their willingness to buy cheap shit from China with the phrase “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.” They basically absolved their own funko pop addiction with climate doomerism. (“let’s eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.”)
You know, I'm willing to split the difference with the Communist scum on this. If something is made with slave labor or can't be made cheaply without building it to fail as soon as it leaves the assembly line, I'd rather we just go without.

We need more things built out of solid pieces of wood and less poisonous molded plastic.
 
About the missile thing, they are still threatening to strike Israel with True Promise 3.

Their full force couldn't kill a Jew or hit a target.
If Iran doesn't have all their actual important defense industries deep underground by now they are retarded and deserve having it destroyed.

Most nations have realized this. The loss aversion and other strategies of the West mean that all they can do is airstrike stuff. There is no fancy airstrike missile capable of blowing something up if its buried under a mountain.
 
I respectfully disagree. The donor class Democrats want some points on the board and they will throw their money into a Rahm Emanuel type. Without USAID money going to bullshit NGOs and 501c's, Progressives will have to do True & Honest fundraising - something they have never had to do before because of the slush money.

No money, no campaign. Simple as.
This does blend in with the other realization we had during GamerGate -- that the left was so used to being just handed everything they want culturally without any real pushback at all, that when they stormed into Vidya games and said "nice hobby nerds, but it needs some fags and trannies and niggers in it or else. And what's with this "merit" shit, that's not very socialist of you" and the resulting response of "lol consumer fecal matter and expire, niggerfaggot" wasn't the expected "immediately my lord, shall I wash your feet for you while I'm up?" they had no fucking idea how to respond.

I imagine something similar will happen with politics. When they're not being handed government checks to shit up reddit and the like, when it's no longer fun to be an activist, I suspect they'll wander off and do something else.
 
Remind me again why the left cares so much about Palestine?
1: Media made it sound like a genocide, and what with social media, that narrative can be pushed harder there than in mainstream media
2: Anti-Americanism/Anti-Trumpism. If leftists hate "Modern America" and trump, they tend to hate on their closest allies. Israel has always been a ally in some way shape or form of the US since it's founding.
3: Anti-Semitism in general has been on the rise, so you see more Israel hate online.

They should expand their horizons and en masse go out and see the world.

Maybe backpack through India. Culturally enriching and all that jazz.
 
I don't believe any media polling anymore. Biden a man so unpopular he didn't even seek reelection had an approval rating that was frozen at 40% for four years
Especially after the polling firms very obviously and deliberately started fucking with their numbers just to drag Trump down in the RCP average.
Remember when CNN released a Kamala +6 Wisconsin poll that single-handedly pushed her up to like +0.2 in the average? Scum fucks will lie about anything even when it has no real effect.
 
"Drumpf's approval rating over immigration is collapsing! The walls are closing in!"

I've been seeing this narrative a lot lately.

I guess screaming that he's a felon being completely ineffective means the new tactic the left needs to take is showing heckin' absolute proof that Team Trump is collapsing from the inside and everyone should just jump ship.

The problem is...to where? The reason why we have a two-party system is that there is no viable third party, and when the other side has demonstrated that they're batshit nuts off-the-reservation lunatics, people might jump ship, but they will float nearby to see if the ship rights itself because they know the other side's won't.

Conservatives won't abandon Trump. Because that means the other side has merit.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but I live in an area with a lot of Jews and not a lot of Muslims, but the lefties are all pro-Palestine. There's something at play here other than immigration dynamics.

Precisely. Without the free money to fund this shit, they have to get the money themselves (which they have never done) or go do something else. It's possible that some will become competent fundraisers, but that takes time. As you say: a lot of people will simply move on to something else when the free ride is over.
 
Because Arab Nationalists have been allied with communists since before Israel was even a country.
Also because Israel supported to some extent Rhodesia, Portugal and Apartheid South Africa.
Should be mentioned that Israel’s ties with South Africa only started after Verwoerd was assassinated and Vorster became Prime Minister; which some people say was a plot done to influence the country. The early National Party Leaders had ties or were Involved with the Ossewabrandwag which was this Pro-German group during World War II that didn’t want South Africa involved with the war and wanted the country to become independent from the British which ultimately occurred in 1961. I believe that Verwoerd was also the first person to refer to Israel as an Apartheid state.
