I’m feeling the #BuffaLove from #CNN today! Great piece from #WolfBlitzer about his hometown of #Buffalo https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/travel/buffalo-new-york-wings-tourism

Buffalo is a welcoming blend of cool and old school

For visitors, Buffalo is more than a gateway to Niagara Falls. It’s a city with a friendly and increasingly sophisticated mix of nightlife, culture, food and nature. Just ask the young people who love living there.

So, yesterday I watched US Major General "Spider" Marks on #CNN blame Hamas for Israel killing 90 civilians, mainly children, in a bombing of a school, saying they don't care about Palestinian lives.
You know who else doesn't care about Palestinian lives "Spider"? THE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO DROPPED A HUGE BOMB ON A SCHOOL, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! YOUR PALS IN THE IDF! And of course #WolfBlitzer won't say a goddamn thing.

.> ^n27 ... WSJ, Jan. 19, 1989; Johnson, Sunday Telegraph, June 1, 1986. Johnson and Podhoretz are exulting over Libya and Grenada, respectively. A notorious apologist for terrorism and atrocities, Johnson also applauded #Israel for "having the moral and physical courage to violate a so-called sovereign frontier" by invading Lebanon in 1982 to excise "the terrorist cancer" -- with an estimated 20,000 or more killed, mostly Lebanese and #PalestinianCivilians (quoted by #WolfBlitzer, #JerusalemPost, June 29, 1984). In the real world, the invasion had nothing whatsoever to do with "the #TerroristCancer," except insofar as Israel hoped that the attack might return the PLO to the #TerroristPolicies Israel preferred by undermining its self-restraint in the face of repeated and murderous Israeli cross-border attacks, and terminating #PLOEfforts to move towards a peaceful political settlement, intolerable to both major Israeli political coalitions. There was ample evidence on these matters from Israeli sources at the time Johnson produced these typically inane comments. See #FatefulTriangle, Pirates & Emperors, and #NecessaryIllusions.....> The greatest accomplishment of Reagan is supposed to be that he made us "feel good about ourselves," restoring the faith in authority, which had sadly flagged. As the editors of the Wall Street Journal put it, "he restored the efficiency and morale of the armed services [and] demonstrated the will to use force in Grenada and Libya" -- two military fiascos, but no matter. We were able to kill a sufficient number of people and are once again "standing tall," towering over the upstarts who had sought to overcome us but who succumbed to the cool courage and "the strength of the Cowboy" -- the words of British journalist Paul Johnson, while swooning over the manliness of his idol Ronald Reagan, who had in reality shown the courage of a Mafia don who sends a goon squad to break the bones of children in a Kindergarten. With these achievements, Reagan overcame our "sickly inhibitions against the use of military force," Norman Podhoretz intoned. ^n27 - https://znetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/zbooks/htdocs/chomsky/dd/dd-contents.html
