I check Bluesky so you don’t have to!

Will Bunch, the “national opinion columnist” for The Philadelphia Inquirer, is as thoroughly eaten up with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome as anyone on earth, and his rant this morning on Bluesky — he’s mostly abandoned Twitter — is thoroughly amusing. Mr Bunch is bemoaning “the media’s anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement,” which led me to check his own newspaper’s website. As of 8:11 AM EDT this morning, there were no stories showing up on the website that mentioned or even hinted as coverage of the #NoKings protests.

Even the Inquirer’s Editorial Board had to give President Trump (grudging) credit for the ceasefire and return of the hostages, so perhaps, just perhaps, the No Kings protests, scheduled for this coming Saturday, are not proving to be particularly well-timed. That he’s scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday to discuss ways to end the 3½-years-long Russo-Ukrainian War means that, despite his earlier failure to get an agreement there — something the left widely mocked — President Trump is still trying to work on a peace agreement there as well.

Can you imagine the apoplexy on the left if he did manage to get such an agreement? Imagine that: the “literally Hitler” demon to the left forging agreements to end two major wars?  🙂

Of course, the No Kings protests last summer were mostly a dud, despite the hype the left gave them, but at least they mostly avoided turning into riots. Perhaps that’s what the organizers think they need to become, to get much attention. William Teach noted that the global warming climate change protesters who have moved beyond peaceable assembly into destroying art and gluing themselves to the road to block traffic are now facing real punishment, so there’s that issue.

3gunGorilla tweeted an exchange from the Dave Ramsey Show:

“So you’re having protests all over the country next weekend?”
“That’s right.”
“And you’re calling them ‘No Kings’ protests?”
“Yes, Dave.”
“But the person who you claim is trying to act like a King isn’t stopping the protests?”
+“Well …”
“And you don’t see the irony?”

‘Nuff said!

The hostages have been released, but some on the left are just very upset that Hamas have been defeated

At 10:40 PM EDT on Sunday, October 12, 2025 — the real Columbus Day! — a distinguished gentleman calling himself simply “matt” quoted a tweet by Ivanka Trump Kushner, showing her praying at the Western Wall, responding “girl fuck you and your pedophile dad AND israel”. Please pardon the language, but I’m not going to soft-peddle it. Matt’s Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — biography self-describes him as “queer jew w very long nails, host of a bit fruity, he/they”, so make of that what you will.

President Trump and Mrs Kushner’s husband, Jared Kushner, were part of the negotiation which got the first phase of the Trump Peace Plan accepted by both Israel and whatever passes for the leadership of Hamas, and the remaining living hostages held by Hamas are being released. Israel has accepted the ceasefire provisions, and the killing has stopped. What, I have to ask, does Matt want, for the IDF to keep blasting and bombing Gaza, to keep killing more ‘Palestinians’?

Then there was Antony Blinken, who was Secretary of State under President Biden, who tweeted:

It starts with a clear and comprehensive post conflict plan for Gaza. It’s good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden Administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It centers on temporary, transitional authorities for Gaza’s governance, security, humanitarian assistance, and rebuilding, led by Arab and international partners alongside Palestinians, backed by the United States, and ultimately handed over to full Palestinian control.

That was part of a twelve-tweet series praising the Trump Peace Plan, trying to take some credit for what President Trump and his people accomplished, what Messrs Biden and Blinken and their staffers failed to accomplish. The war in Gaza went on for 15 months and 13 days while they were in office, and only 8 months and 23 days after Mr Trump took office.

Mr Blinken admitted one reason that President Trump was able to achieve what Messrs Biden and Blinken could not:

First, what changed to make this breakthrough possible? Hamas is finally and fully isolated. Arab states and Turkey have said “enough.” The misery Hamas provoked and would allow to persist has delegitimized it among most Gazans. And Hamas realized that the cavalry (Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis) are not coming to the rescue.

Let’s tell the real truth: Mr Trump told Hamas, explicitly, that if they didn’t agree to the plan, Israel would have complete American support to not only continue the war, but to intensify it and totally obliterate Gaza. President Biden never went that far, and limited American assistance to Israel, which is at least part of the reason Hamas continued what was essentially a hopeless fight.

Then there was this:

Israel has long since achieved its war aims — destroying Hamas as an organized military force so October 7 can never be repeated and eliminating those responsible for its horrors – but at terrible cost to Palestinian civilians caught in a crossfire they did not start and were powerless to stop. Only the hostages remained. Israelis want them home and the war to end, putting pressure on the Israeli government to take the deal, not move the goalposts.

“Palestinian civilians caught in a crossfire they did not start”? Bovine feces! While it were Hamas and their allies who launched the October 7th attack, the people of Gaza wildly cheered it on when they knew it has happened, when the Hamas savages dragged the kidnapped hostages through the streets, celebrating the attack, celebrating the killings, and protecting Hamas.

Jeremy Corbyn, the far-left British politician, tweeted:

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Also read: William teach, “Trump Heads To Israel, Hostages Should Be Released“

Has he forgotten that the Allies of World War II occupied defeated Germany, denazified it, and set Germany on the path to becoming a peaceful Western democracy, rather than the threat to peace in Europe it had been? Has he forgotten that the United States occupied Japan, transforming its government and writing its constitution, to transform Japan from a militaristic conquering state to a peaceful one? Some cultures cannot be trusted, and the culture of the ‘Palestinians’ after twenty years free of Israeli occupation is one of them.

It goes way beyond those two: my Twitter feed is full of the irredentists of big, big words but who didn’t have the balls to go to Gaza to fight for the ‘Palestinians.’

I am concerned that not enough will be done to pacify Gaza, to end the reign of the irredentists, but only time will answer that.

My response to the Trump Peace Plan

I, for one, will wait and see if this deal is fully implemented. That the hostage release is the first step should mean, if there’s any rationality left in Hamas, that they intend to follow through with the rest, because the hostages are Hamas’ only point of leverage.

But whether this deal is completed or not, I don’t foresee any lasting peace. Looking at the timeline, we see Arab attacks against the Jews in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973, just the cycle for the 10- and 12- and 14-year-old boys, too young for the previous war, to get old enough to try to do what their candy-assed fathers couldn’t. Raised on resentment and hate, but not having gotten beaten themselves, they grew up thinking they could be the generation which succeeds.

This time has been different, however, as Israel unleashed so much Hell on Gaza that perhaps the growing generation of boys will be so terrorized that they won’t try it, but eventually children will grow up without memories of what happened to Gaza, and they’ll rise up and try again.

And let’s not kid ourselves: Israel won this war due to Benjamin Netanyahu, who was strong-willed and smart enough not to give the Arabs a cease-fire until they were thoroughly, thoroughly beaten. The wars in 1967 and 1973 were ended too soon, leaving too much of the Arab armies intact and alive and able to rearm. Fortunately, the Arab nations still learned the lesson, and the Arab nations never again attacked Israel, but the various terrorist groups kept at it. Hamas had hoped, perhaps even believed, that if they started the way, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia would mobilize and join them. The Arab national leaders were at least smart enough to say thanks but no thanks, in no small part because none of the other Arab leaders like or trust the Palestinians.

The only ones who joined the fight were Hezbollah, Iran, and the Houthis in Yemen. Iran is a thousand miles away from Israel, and the Houthis several hundred miles away, so they knew they wouldn’t get invaded by IDF troops, but they f(ornicated) around and found out anyway. Hezbollah sort-of tried to intervene, albeit a bit half-heartedly, but found out themselves as well, as their eyes and fingers and balls left their bodies.

You don’t get into martyr heaven without your balls! No 72 bacha bazi boys for them!

And Donald Trump deserves a lot of credit as well. Had Kamala Emhoff been President [shudder!] she’d have been pressing Mr Netanyahu to ease off all along, but President Trump recognizes enemies of Western civilization in ways our past DEI Vice President never did, and while he wanted this deal, and potential past deals, he also let Israel know that the US would support them if they went all out to destroy Hamas.

Still, with the Arabs allowed to stay in Gaza, there is eventually little way I can see this working out in the long run. Had Israel done what they should have done in 1967, and expelled every last Arab from Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, giving the country shortened, more defensible borders, and not having a Arabs under the thumb of occupation, we would not have seen this mess today.
