Liberal Jews in cities are suicidal. I know because I am a Jew. When I point it out, they look at me like an NPC who has been asked a question for which they haven't had a response programmed.

Washington post: Iran nearly orchestrated a successful assassination of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in 2022 after the Iranians learned of the Paris hotel where he was staying. Pompeo narrowly escaped.
Authorities warned Trump’s team about poison and drones. They told Trump to avoid touching phones while taking selfies with supporters in case adversaries used them to expose him to chemical weapons. He greeted fans less frequently at airport rope lines.
As the threats mounted, Trump reduced his tendency to do what he wanted regardless of safety risks, becoming more deferential to his security team. When he spoke at a bitcoin conference in Nashville, someone got past the security screening and disappeared into the crowd. Trump, delayed for more than an hour, repeatedly asked the agents for an update. When an agent told him that they were still clearing the area, he nodded and said, “I’m going to listen to my guys,” the book says.
Then, on Sept. 24 of last year, national security officials briefed Trump at Mar-a-Lago that Iran had multiple hit teams inside the country.
As previously reported, U.S. authorities arrested an “Iranian asset” six weeks later, in November 2024,
claiming that the suspect had been tasked by the Iranians with “surveilling and plotting to assassinate President-Elect Donald J. Trump.”
What is clear is that Iran weighed heavily on Trump’s mind, according to the book. He asked multiple times if Iran was connected to the gunmen in Butler and West Palm Beach and grew increasingly frustrated with the acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald L. Rowe Jr., when he felt like he would not answer his questions.
By the end of the campaign, Trump felt the election had become bigger than his political victory. It was also about his survival.
“I have to win,” the book recounts him telling a visitor at Mar-a-Lago, newly fortified by Secret Service, reporting from the book shows. “Stay alive and win. Because if I don’t, we are f----ed.”
