'This is not the beginning of the story,' Palestinian activist says

Palestinian activist and former Palestinian Authority spokesperson Nour Odeh issued a reminder that Hamas' attack on Israel Saturday "is not the beginning of the story."

"This is one episode of a story that has lasted for over half a century," Odeh told NBC News. "Israel occupied the West Bank, it controls every aspect of life in Gaza. And for more than a year now, experts have been warning that things are reaching a boiling point."

Odeh is referring to over 50 years of occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli forces. There's been a spike in violence in the region for over a year, with at least 700 attacks on Palestinians attacked by Israelis in 2023, a record-breaking number, according to the Institute for Middle East Understanding.

"It’s a record setting year of the number of Palestinians killed, the number of Palestinian children killed, the number of homes demolished, the number of attacks by armed settlers that, you know, burned down homes and attack people and wounded and killed Palestinian civilians," Odeh said.

Odeh said that while today's events aren't surprising, they are "unprecedented."

"But you know, there was nowhere for the story to go except a breaking point with a right-wing Israeli government that doesn’t recognize that Palestinians exist, doesn’t want to talk about Palestinians having freedom and a country of their own and a world that is ready to, kind of, appease that and work with it and just throw money at the Palestinians or condemnations and hope that things will be maintained."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday promised "mighty vengeance” for Hamas' attack against Israel, with the number of dead on both sides of the conflict reaching into the hundreds.

In a televised address Saturday night, Netanyahu said Israel will unleash its military strength in revenge for "this black day" as rockets continued to explode into the night.

He warned that Hamas was responsible for the well-being of Israeli hostages, calling the bloody attacks unprecedented.

Amid a sea of viral footage coming out of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, misleading and recycled videos are circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, getting hundreds of thousands of views.

The old videos, which are being passed off as from the last day, are largely being posted by verified, conservative social media personalities, many of whom have previously posted about earning ad-dollars from X's monetization program.

U.K. political personality Jim Ferguson today posted a video of a building collapsing that was originally from 2021, with the text: "Breaking: Counter attacks are underway by Israeli forces as the air force hits back at." The post is still up and has over 170,000 views. Ferguson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Other users posted videos that were originally recorded in May.

Nonprofit group Shurat HaDin posted a video of Gaza being shelled in May without disclosing that it was posting an old video. The text accompanying the video read: "Israeli Air Force is striking terror targets in Gaza. Israel has every right to defend its civilians."

The reposted video has over 120,000 views.

Shurat HaDin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hareem Shah also posted a video of Gaza being shelled in May without disclosing that the video was old. She wrote, "LATEST: Israeli air force is bombing targets in Gaza, Palestine." The tweet has been viewed 1 million times according to the platform, and now has a community note clarifying that the video is from May.

Shah did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ex-Fox News host Geraldo Rivera has slammed Donald Trump over comments he made about immigrants coming into the U.S. Rivera told CNN that he was ashamed that he was ever friends with the former president after Trump said undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” “I think it’s vile. I think it’s disgusting. It’s very disappointing. To sink to that level, it’s for me a personal embarrassment that we were friends for so long,” he said.

“I beseech his followers to listen to what he said about poison blood. Who else used that kind of language? That kind of poisonous rhetoric? It was the Nazis, and I hate to use Nazi or Hitler references, but it is impossible to miss the obvious parallels.”

A page right out Hitler's Nazi propaganda playbook

During an interview at Mar-a-Lago for National Pulse, Trump made comments about migrants entering the United States that echoed Hitler's Nazi propaganda against immigrants, Jewish people, and interracial families used to affirm his nationalistic, racial purity beliefs:
"Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they're terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we're witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It's poisoning the blood of our country. It's so bad, and people coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have."

Hillary Clinton’s comment to CNN Thursday that Donald Trump’s “cult members” might eventually need a “formal deprogramming” naturally drew the ire of Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, who claimed that the former president, unlike Clinton, “didn’t go after voters.” The co-host of The Five, a day after asserting that “elections don’t work” and that civil war could be a viable alternative, argued thatTrump “targeted people in power.” “He didn’t go after voters. Right?” he said. “[Clinton] goes after voters. She goes after Americans.”

Gutfeld added later that Trump “never went after the small ‘d’ democrat.” But colleague Jessica Tarlov wasn’t having it. “Doesn’t trying to disenfranchise voters and make their votes not count, which is what he did in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, et cetera, with this big lie about how he won the election—” she said before Gutfeld interrupted her. “That’s your interpretation,” he sneered. “I mean, it’s a good opinion, but it’s not real.”

Not weaponized, eh?

FBI Creates 'MAGA' Extremist Category, Targets Trump Supporters Ahead Of 2024 Election​

The Biden FBI has 'quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers' ahead of the 2024 election, according to prolific (and well connected) anti-war journalist and political commentator, William Arkin, who has previously reported on the FBI's efforts to "Fight MAGA Terrorism."



In a Wednesday Newsweek article, Arkin reveals that the vast majority of FBI investigations into "anti-government" activities are of Trump supporters.

"The FBI is in an almost impossible position," a current FBI official told Arkin, who added that the agency's stated intent is stopping a repeat of January 6th type incidents (which was riddled with feds), while balancing the Constitutional right of Americans to protest the government "Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has 'weaponized' the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully," the official continued.

Newsweek spoke to over a dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism in a three-month investigation to understand the current domestic-security landscape and to evaluate what President Joe Biden's administration is doing about what it calls domestic terrorism.

Most requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly, were reluctant to stray into partisan politics or feared the repercussions of speaking frankly.

Newsweek has also reviewed secret FBI and Department of Homeland Securitydata that track incidents, threats, investigations and cases to try to build a better picture.

While experts agree that the current partisan environment is charged and uniquely dangerous (with the threat not only of violence but, in the most extreme scenarios, possibly civil war), many also question whether "terrorism" is the most effective way to describe the problem, or that the methods of counterterrorism developed over the past decade in response to Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups constitute the most fruitful way to craft domestic solutions.
We would note that an FBI whistleblower in March claimed that the agency pressured him to inflate domestic terrorism figuresagainst conservatives, and that the agency created a specific threat tag for pro-lifers "THREATSCOTUS2022" following the leaked Supreme Court opinion on abortion (and not a threat tag for the violent leftists who threatened SCOTUS justices?).

The FBI told Newsweek in a statement that: "The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving, and deadly. The FBI's goal is to detect and stop terrorist attacks, and our focus is on potential criminal violations, violence and threats of violence. Anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism is one category of domestic terrorism, as well as one of the FBI's top threat priorities," adding "We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and will never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including a person's political beliefs or affiliations."

According to the FBI's data leaked to Arkin,the number of domestic extremism cases has dropped since Jan 6, but that "Sociopolitical developments—such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence—will almost certainly spur some domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence."

So - while the threat that the FBI has encouraged agents to inflate may have fallen, they're on the lookout!

The agency has even created a new subcategory of threats, "AGAAVE-Other," to denote those who are a threat but don't fit into its anarchist, militia or Sovereign Citizen categories.

Introduced without any announcement, and reported here for the first time, the new classification is officially defined as "domestic violent extremists who cite anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party." -Newsweek
Trump or MAGA aren't directly menti0oned in the official description of AGAAVE-Other, however "government insiders acknowledge that it applies to political violence ascribed to the former president's supporters."

"What other name could we use?" said one FBI officer, who added: "Obviously if Democratic Party supporters resort to violence, it [AGAAVE-Other] would apply to them as well. It doesn't matter that there is a low likelihood of that.So yes, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan."

Sure anonymous FBI guy... there's a 'low likelihood' that Democrats (the party which the FBI's top brass belong to) aren't causing political violence. Did someone get into Hunter's crack stash?

Biden Provides an Era-Defining Interview to ProPublica. (Watch this interview. Biden is sharp as a tack)

Biden provides an era-defining interview to ProPublica

In the wide-ranging interview, the president spoke of the threat Trump poses to democracy, as well as Alito’s claim that Congress can’t regulate the Supreme Court.

Login to view embedded media


Oct. 2, 2023, 6:01 PM CDT
By Ja'han Jones

President Joe Biden’s interview with ProPublica last Friday was the kind of era-defining interview one can easily imagine as source material in a future history course (assuming history will still be allowed to be taught in the future).

In the interview with journalist John Harwood, Biden broached everything from former President Donald Trump’s plans for the White House to ethics rules for the Supreme Court. It was a timely convo that came amid Trump’s violent rhetoric and just days before the high court kicked off its new session, which some understandably fear will be chock-full of right-wing rulings.

And what we got was essentially a rapid-fire questioning of the president regarding a host of issues that feel like existential crises for the country.

On political violence​

Biden rejected Harwood’s suggestion that the threat to democracy might not be too serious, given the “orderly midterm elections, no violence” in 2022, along with the absence of civil unrest in response to Jan. 6-related charges for Trump and others.

Harwood’s questioning appeared to ignore the gun-toting poll watchers reported in Arizona last fall, as well as the racist threats reportedly lobbed at federal Judge Tanya Chutkan and Atlanta-area prosecutor Fani Willis over Trump’s legal proceedings. Biden explained why Harwood missed the mark.

“I think the opposite thing’s happened, John,” the president said of the threat to democracy. “I think that this is the last gasp, or maybe the first big gasp, of the MAGA Republicans, and I think Trump has concluded that he has to win. And they’ll pull out all the stops.”

On ethics and the Supreme Court​

Asked whether he thinks the conservative-loaded Supreme Court will uphold the rule of law, Biden said that although the current court “has been one of the most extreme courts,” he still thinks the justices will sustain the “basic fundamentals of rule of law.” (I’m not nearly as confident.)

The president also pushed back against Justice Samuel Alito’s claim that Congress doesn’t have the authority to impose a code of ethics on the court. The right-wing justice made the claim following a raft of reports that he and Justice Clarence Thomas had engaged in questionable associations with rich benefactors.

Biden acknowledged the open debate over whether Congress can regulate the court, but said he thinks the answer is yes.

“The idea that the Constitution would in any way prohibit or not encourage the court to have basic rules of ethics that are just, on their face, reasonable ... is just not the case,” he said.

On a third-party challenge in 2024​

I found Biden’s other remarks about democracy interesting, as well.

For example, Biden openly stated his belief that having No Labels — a shadowy third party backed by former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and a host of conservative-leaning benefactors — in the 2024 presidential race would benefit Trump.

“It’s going to help the other guy. And he knows,” Biden said of Lieberman, his longtime colleague in the Senate. “So that’s a political decision he’s making that I obviously think is a mistake. But he has a right to do that.”

On media, misinformation and Musk​

Biden said right-wing news outlets have helped amplify the threat to democracy — as has X under Elon Musk.
Asked whether Musk, who owns the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has contributed to the problem by undercutting the company’s previous efforts to combat misinformation, the president said he had no doubt.

Said Biden: “Where do people get their news? They go on the internet, they go online. And you have no notion whether it’s true or not.”

On age and his re-election bid​

In one of the most self-aware replies he gave, Biden pushed back after Harwood cited voter concerns about his age and asked the 80-year-old president: “Why are you the only Democrat who can protect democracy next year?”
“I’m not the only Democrat that can protect it,” Biden replied before alluding to Trump. “I just happen to be the Democrat who I think is best positioned to see to it that the guy I was worried about taking on democracy is not president.”

Los Angeles Schools Hold 'Coming Out Week' for Elementary Students Amid Declining Academic Proficiency

It appears that every month will eventually end up being Pride Month in Southern California. Only three months after the actual Pride Month, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is bearing up for yet another LGBTQ celebration.

This time, the event centers on “National Coming Out Day” and will extend for an entire week. During the festivities, elementary schools will promote deep dives into complex conversations about sexual orientation and gender identity and discussions on why far leftist ideology on these issues is essential to avoid becoming a vicious Republican homo/transphobe.

The news comes as the quality of education in Los Angeles has become something resembling the film “Idiocracy.”
It has been almost 90 days since Gay Pride month. According to the Los Angeles Unified School District, that is too long a hiatus from the imperative of immersing young children in the arcana of gay and trans identity. So throughout the week of October 9, many elementary school classrooms in Los Angeles will celebrate “National Coming Out Day,” which falls on October 11.
October is itself LGBTQ+ History Month, the Los Angeles Unified School District bureaucracy has reminded what it calls the district’s “fabulous educators.” Other LGBTQ+ programming will take place throughout October, picking up where Gay Pride month left off. The goals for the so-called Week of Action are ambitious: to turn six-year-olds into budding gender and critical race theorists.

An LAUSD teacher forwarded me the district’s “toolkit” for teachers laying out that agenda. Use of the toolkit, decorated with a Black Power Fist superimposed on neon rainbow stripes, is nominally optional, but elementary school teachers who forego LGBTQ programming during the Week of Action will surely risk stigmatization. (The district did not respond to queries regarding expected classroom participation rates.)

program with — why not — an Australian cardboard magnate billionaire in 2021, who then went on to tell dozens of journalists, foreign officials, and others about the highly sensitive information.

Republican contortionists will undoubtedly spin this latest, incredibly damning allegation as yet another "nothingburger" and/or some sort of masterstroke of post-presidency foreign policy genius. Unfortunately for Donnie, special counsel Jack Smith and the United States Department of Justice will have a very different take on the matter.


Trump Told Australian Billionaire Nuclear Sub Secrets, Who Then Told 45 Others: Reports​

Updated Fri, October 6, 2023 at 10:20 AM GMT-7·2 min read

Former President Donald Trump reportedly shared details about America’s nuclear submarine program with an Australian billionaire, who then went on to tell journalists, foreign officials and others about the sensitive information, according to multiple reports.

ABC News first reported that special counsel Jack Smith had learned about Trump’s disclosure to the billionaire — a cardboard magnate named Anthony Pratt — as part of his investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents. Trump allegedly told Pratt several government secrets about the submarines during an event at his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in Florida, where the billionaire is a member.

Pratt reportedly told prosecutors and FBI agents that he brought up the submarine fleet in April 2021, after Trump had left the White House. The former president then revealed the supposed number of nuclear warheads that are on board U.S. submarines at any time and how close the vessels can get to a Russian submarine without detection.

The billionaire, ABC News added, shared that information with at least 45 people, including three former Australian prime ministers, a half dozen journalists and other foreign officials. Australia recently inked a deal with the United States to spend up to $245 billion over the next three decades to build a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.

It’s unclear if the details were accurate or if they were bluster or exaggerations, but ABC News reported that Pratt was informed by investigators not to share the numbers he was reportedly given.

The New York Times, which confirmed the report with people familiar with the matter, said the details would be highly protected information and could endanger the U.S. nuclear fleet if made public. A former Australian ambassador to the United States told the paper the information wasn’t new to his country, saying: “If that’s all that was discussed, we already know all that.”

“We have had Australians serving with Americans on U.S. submarines for years, and we share the same technology and the same weapons as the U.S. Navy,” the former ambassador, Joe Hockey, said.

The reported information was not included in Smith’s federal indictment of Trump earlier this year related to his handling of classified documents after he left the White House. Trump was charged with 40 counts related to willful retention of documents and obstruction of justice. But it could be used as part of the ultimate case against him to bolster any pattern of Trump’s handling of sensitive material.

A Trump spokesperson told ABC the former president did “nothing wrong,” adding the report lacked “proper context and relevant information.”

“President Trump did nothing wrong, has always insisted on truth and transparency, and acted in a proper manner, according to the law,” the spokesperson told ABC News. (🤣)

Under Trump, IRS targeted low-income families at higher rate than millionaires for first time

Under Trump, IRS targeted low-income families at higher rate than millionaires for first time

One of the cruelest and most nefarious tricks the Republican Party has played on the American public is convincing lower-income people to consistently vote against their own economic self-interest and unwittingly spur on poverty-inducing, runaway wealth inequality. Case in point — during the final year of Trump's disastrous presidency, the Internal Revenue Service audited low-income families at a higher rate than millionaires for the first time, because, well, low-hanging fruit is still fruit, right? By design, years of Republican-imposed budget cuts left the IRS badly understaffed and without sufficient resources to aggressively pursue wealthy tax evaders, whose returns tend to be more complex. Funny how that works.

Under Trump, IRS Targeted Low-Income Families at Higher Rate Than Millionaires for First Time​

"House Republicans want to return to the lawless days of rampant tax evasion by the nation's wealthiest."


JAKE JOHNSON

During the final year of Donald Trump's presidency, the Internal Revenue Service audited low-income families at a higher rate than millionaires for the first time, according to an Americans for Tax Fairness analysis released as congressional Republicans work to further hamper the agency's ability to crack down on rich tax cheats.

Years of Republican-imposed budget cuts have left the IRS badly understaffed and without sufficient resources to aggressively pursue wealthy tax evaders, whose returns tend to be more complex.

As a result, ATF noted in its analysis, "audits of millionaires have dropped 92% over the last decade." Audits of Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) recipients have also fallen over the past 10 years, but not nearly as dramatically.

Inadequate scrutiny of the rich has allowed more than a million wealthy Americans to evade close to $66 billion in federal taxes in recent years, according to IRS data.

In an effort to reverse the damage done by chronic underfunding, Democratic lawmakers and President Joe Biden approved an $80 billion budget increase for the IRS over the next decade, money that has already helped the agency increase its full-time staff, improve customer service, and collect tens of millions of dollars in delinquent taxes from rich Americans.

But that hasn't stopped Republicans from attempting to roll back the agency's recent budget increase and drumming up hysteria about armed IRS agents targeting ordinary Americans.

Across their appropriations bills, House Republicans have proposed $67 billion in IRS cuts, which would add to the deficit by undermining the agency's ability to pursue wealthy tax dodgers. The House and Senate must pass appropriations bills to fund the government and avert a shutdown next month.

"Extreme MAGA Republicans are demanding that their rich donors get a green light to evade taxes as the price of keeping our government open," said David Kass, ATF's executive director. "Just as restored IRS funding contained in the Inflation Reduction Act that President Biden and congressional Democrats enacted last year is beginning to bear fruit in the form of tougher tax enforcement on wealthy and corporate tax cheats, House Republicans want to return to the lawless days of rampant tax evasion by the nation's wealthiest."

ATF's analysis, released last week, shows that U.S. millionaires are now audited less than 1% of the time despite receiving a sixth of the nation's total household income.

"Mega-corporations have also benefited dramatically in the past decade from an underfunded IRS," the group observed. "Over the past decade, audits of corporations with over $1 billion of income have dropped 87%, to an historic low. Audits of corporations with over $100 million of income have dropped by 91%."

Republicans who interact with Biden don’t question his sharpness

Republicans who interact with Biden don’t question his sharpness

Many Republicans would have people believe that Joe Biden is old and feeble. Republicans who actually interact with the president know better.


Oct. 6, 2023, 9:40 AM CDT
By Steve Benen

Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, President Joe Biden was only too pleased to treat Sen. Rick Scott’s policy blueprint like a pinata. The Florida Republican responded, not by defending his plan, and not by attacking the White House’s policy agenda, but by going after the president in ugly and personal terms.

“Let’s be honest here: Joe Biden is unwell,” Scott said. “He’s unfit for office. He’s incoherent, incapacitated, and confused. He doesn’t know where he is half the time.”

The rhetoric was caustic and unfair, but it was also familiar. Republicans are heavily invested in telling the public that the president, because he’s 80, is weak and feeble. Indeed, when then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched a debt ceiling crisis in the spring, and demanded meetings with Biden, the California Republican offered to bring “lunch to the White House, and I would make it soft food if that’s what he wants.”

At least, that’s what the public heard the GOP leader say. As Politico reported, McCarthy said something different in private.

On a particularly sensitive matter, McCarthy mocked Biden’s age and mental acuity in public, while privately telling allies that he found the president sharp and substantive in their conversations — a contradiction that left a deep impression on the White House.

The fact that McCarthy was impressed with Biden after their private interactions shouldn’t surprise anyone. In fact, this has been common throughout the Democrat’s term to date.

Politico reported a couple of years ago, for example, that while some on the far-right remain fixated on trying to characterize the president as an addled old man, “seven GOP senators who’ve met with Biden lately described him as cogent and well-versed on the issues they discussed.”

“In the two meetings I was in with the president, he was as sharp as a tack,” Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia said. Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana added, “I visited with him in the Oval Office, and he seemed well-prepared and well-briefed for the meeting.”

Around the same time, Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, following a White House meeting with Biden, told reporters, “The president was highly engaged, did most of the talking — or, did a lot of the talking.”

Stepping back, there are a couple of broad angles to keep in mind. The first is that the chatter on the right about the president being a confused old man is offensive, but it’s also badly at odds with the impressions from Republicans who’ve actually interacted with Biden.

But the second is a related angle that’s often overlooked: Lawmakers who meet with Biden come away with far fewer concerns than lawmakers who met with his predecessor. Remember all the reports from Donald Trump’s presidency about officials who found him to be “sharp as a tack,” and “well-prepared and well-briefed”?

Neither do I.

Football Lincoln Riley acknowledges Korey Foreman could redshirt

“It’s something we’re exploring right now. It’s, this early in the season, I don’t want to say anything for sure because a lot of things can transpire, but both us as a staff and the players that have that available – it’s something you have to be aware of. And it’s something we’re open with guys. We have conversations with all of our guys that have redshirt years available, and so occasionally, if a guy maybe is not going to have a huge role in a game, you might hold him back right now and then if an opportunity presents itself to have a bigger role, you can obviously revisit that down the line. And I would put Korey in that category.”
