It is interesting, there does not appear to be a serious alternative
put up by anybody.
Hamas seems to want the Garzans to live in the rubble with the rats.
Why won't the Islamic countries put up the money for a rebuild ?
I have not seen any response from Iran. Have I missed it ?
Or do they have worries of their own ? eg attack on their nuke program ?

It all looks like the Islamists have been neutered by one Trump comment.

Hi mhaze,
" We'd need a new thread to cover all the corruption that's being unearthed but one of the more interesting is the amount of US government funds being secretly funnelled to anti-Trump media - Politico was virtually a fully own subsidiary of the CIA and gigantic sums were being given to the New York Times, and ABC favourite Bill Kristol's never-Trump think tanks."

Yes you probably would need a new thread, I tried to tell you all about USAID, the amount of things that have come out already are pretty damning but we all knew the Democrats were up to all sorts of things, Politico - 32m paying money to write anti Trump articles.

The Politico scandal

.

Trump wrote on his social media :

« THE LEFT WING ‘RAG,’ KNOWN AS ‘POLITICO,’ SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money? Who else did? THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THEM ALL, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY! THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS ONE. TOO BIG, TOO DIRTY! » :

The problem is the Politico scandal was just disinformation spread by “a handful of conservative influencers and others posting their thoughts and conspiratorial webs online, for Musk to see”.

It worked beautifully. Musk launched a new crackdown. The US Department of Agriculture stopped payments. The General Services Administration was ordered to cancel “every single media contract” the agency expenses, including Politico, its subsidiaries, and the BBC :

Trump’s second term is off to a flying start. It's quite entertaining in a way—if it were not so damaging for the people affected by his decisions.

It’s too early to judge what added value they bring to the table, if any. We’ll have to wait until the dust settles to find out.

Hopefully, it will not be too late to reverse the changes if need be.
