You might ask, now how does the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Mao, Stalin and Hamas have anything in common? Well, they all have a history of propaganda and playing for the wrong side. Hamas is easy. They butchered babies, raped women, burned alive and killed 1200 Jews and took over 200 hostages on Oct 7, 2023 – yet Israel is the one accused of “genocide” in their response to the atrocities inflicted on them. It’s a pathetic misuse of a word considering the worst actual “genocide” in history was inflicted on Jews in WW2.
Now the BLS story is not quite so dramatic or bloody. The BLS director was just fired by Trump as very low job number stats came out – and this gave the illiberal left ammunition to call Trump a dictator once again. But the BLS has a recent history of massive corrections and bad data. Based on the way the BLS manipulated data for the benefit of Biden Harris before the Nov 2024 election – it became clear to Trump and his team the BLS was not an objective organization – that they were either completely incompetent or the more likely scenario – pro Democrat and cooked the books in their favor. I have no idea if the recent August 2025 stats for less than 100,000 jobs created is accurate, but there is a good possibility that the number is low and therefore – another example of bias. In any event, Trump pulled the trigger and fired the director. Either way – probably a good idea – except for the optics. Given the monumental infestation of corrupt vermin residing in DC govt – cleaning house is probably a good idea even if a few actual honest actors are swept away in the clean up.
And optics, let’s talk Hamas and the girly men running many EU countries and Canada. They are buying the propaganda of Hamas to push for the unworkable Palestinian two state solution. By advocating for this absurdity – rather than put pressure on Hamas to give up the few remaining hostages they haven’t murdered yet – the Jew haters in UK, France, Germany and now Canada are taking the side of the terrorists by advocating for an unworkable two state solution in Israel.
OK, so you want a Palestinian state. Look at the geography. There’s about 600 times more land area in the adjoining Muslim countries than what is available in tiny Israel. And France, as Mark Levin mentioned, there’s nice Riviera property on the Mediterranean to easily relocate the Gazans to give them that Palestinian state.
But the reality is – what do you actually think will happen that’s any different if we legitimize this new terrorist state and give it the bogus name “Palestine”? I suspect there will not be anything other than a continuation of Hamas terrorist attacks and their ongoing battle to drive Jews out of their historical homeland. And what historical homeland do these so-called “Palestinians” have? Thousands of years? A calendar that dates 5000 plus years? A bible to chronicle their history and the foundational religion of the other two monotheistic religions – Christianity and Mohammedism? Ah, no. They don’t.
History and facts are on the side of Israel. Israel has thousands of years of history in that land they now call home. After the ACTUAL holocaust – an actual “genocide” where the Jew haters of Europe nearly wiped out all of the Jews in Europe – Israel was formed and were given back their historic homeland. And for the gift of allowing dispersed Jews to have their homeland back, their intolerant Muslim neighbors began endless wars to drive them from “the River to the Sea” – from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. And as an aside to add to the notion of what actually constitutes a Palestinian, Jews in 1947 in this geography – were also called – you guessed it – Palestinians. Palestine was never more than a name.
And let’s talk about Stalin and Mao and what Hamas has learned from them. In the 1930s, Stalin was not very happy with the Ukrainians who refused to turn their farms into collectives. So, as a punishment Stalin proceeded to starve many millions of Ukrainians to death to make them comply. If anyone is wondering where the animosity between Ukraine and Russia came from, this might be a good start. But the history of Ukraine, Crimea and the West was not just what Stalin did in in the 1930s – there’s the Crimea war from the 19th century where England, France and Ottoman Turkey united to attempt to drive Russia from Crimea. Well, that didn’t work for that strange cabal but we did get a great poem – The Charge of the Light Brigade – by Tennyson:
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
But I digress. The propaganda in the West came from the likes of the NY Times and their reporter William Duranty who yes – was given a Pulitzer Prize for lying about the famine in Russia and Ukraine in particular! And not to be out done, the biggest mass murder of all time was committed by Stalin imitator Mao – who starved to death anywhere from 50 to 80 million Chinese during his Great Leap Forward. I always get nervous when illiberal lefties like Obama uses the term “Forward”. You can be sure that they are not going anywhere but in the opposite direction.
There is a pattern here. Then a few years later as Jews were sent to concentration camps and 6 million Jews were slaughtered – the same NY Times either ignored the holocaust or put in on the back pages in fine print.
Today, the NY Times continues their lying propaganda at the expense of Jews in Israel. On the front page the Times recently printed a picture of an emaciated baby held up by a rather healthy-looking Gazan woman – to show that the Israelis were purposely starving the Gazans to death. Of course, it turned out that the baby in question had a birth defect that had nothing to do with being starved. A few days later they put a retraction somewhere on one of their social media sites, but the Times and most of the lying Western media – including so-called podcast influencers like Tucker Carlson and other anti-Semitic knuckleheads – continue to push the lie. Hamas is starving its own people to keep them in line just as Stalin and Mao before them, and in this case for propaganda to blame Israel and manipulate the corrupt Western media.
As the great one Mark Levin noted recently – why is Israel responsible for the civilians in Gaza given the fact that Hamas hasn’t surrendered or given up the hostages? In WW2 – the US firebombed Dresden – killing hundreds of thousands of civilians – zero military significance – a city of magnificent art and architecture, the Florence of Germany. You might recall a book Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut – that chronicled the event that made the unintended point that reality is sometimes stranger and more horrible than fiction. There were hundreds of thousands of deaths in the bombing of Tokyo, Berlin and of course the atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima – all civilian mass casualties with the one aim to bring the war to an end by unconditional surrender.
But Israel, for some reason, is held to a different standard in their existential war for survival. And make no mistake – Israel is in a fight for its very survival – and the culturally dying EU and Canada and all the Jew haters in the West are buying into Hamas propaganda. Some of this is just simple anti-Semitism – given the chance to hide behind the lying pictures of starving babies – but I suspect that money and power the illiberal left gets from siding with the terrorists is really at the core.
There is an unholy alliance between the Marxist left calling themselves “Progressive” or “Democratic Socialists” and the Islamic throwbacks. They appear to be quite happy to align together for the common cause of achieving power – especially if all that needs to be done is eliminate that pesky state of Israel and the Jews.
