Many reports that this played a big part in the US coming to Israel's rescue.
Everyone's running out of defensive missiles, including us

Time to take a stand! Are you with him, or with me? As politicians like to say, if you're not with me, you're against me, blah, blah, blah! But if he's right, a lot of us will have more money for cameras.
This stuff is such a mess. In the no tax on tips section the bill says:
In general.--The term `qualified tip' means any cash tip received by an individual in an occupation which traditionally and customarily received tips on or before December 31, 2024, as provided by the Secretary.
Now I think most people know the definition of "cash". I caught that some government talking head said "cash" actually means all the other payment mechanisms.
Then some tax experts say The IRS classifies payments by credit card, debit card and even checks as “cash tips.”
But in the bill it says only "cash", and is whether or not it works with other things is determined by IRS regulations, which of course can be changed any time by unelected bureaucrats. Why the heck can't they just say what they mean in the darned bill? Scared too many people might understand how they are being fleeced?
Because the gators could be feasting on tainted meat when they bite into one of the escaped illegal alien felons?
They find car tires in some gators stomachs when they get cut open so I don't think a couple of 3-day old street tacos made from an escapees guts will matter....at least not to the gator!

I agree, I have seen alot lately too. I know Trump promising an end to wars and America first then bombing Iran has pushed this latest hate towards Israel.
Hopefully these messages will help some people back on track...

Its the absolute weirdest thing.
For the past month or more those following the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) know that while Trump initially called for it many months back, there has been NO provision for any kind of tax relief on Social Security in the BBB. Trump had even dropped it from his marketing plan for selling the BBB
Then all of a sudden in the past 24 hours Trump puts out a number of messages promoting "No Tax on Social Security for Seniors"
And this is where it gets weird.
Doing a search I found ONE thread talking about it on X today. One, with maybe 50 replies.
Its as if he didnt say it. Its completely ignored. Now with a buttload of Seniors collecting SS you would think they'd WANT to talk about it to help sell the rest of the absolute garbage in the BBB that for those who aren't paying attention and think "its not my problem" will find out well after its too late that is DOES effect you and it IS your problem and it AIN'T gonna be pretty.
Its as if its a topic that isn't allowed to be discussed. I mean 100% totally ignored.
Now because X algos tends to lump you with others who think the same, you tend to be in a silo as to audience. I have about 1000 followers. (I dont actively recruit followers, I dont monetize and I never will)
So many are "MAGA" which is going through a civil war at the moment and has splintered bigtime. Without divine intervention I can ASSURE you the GOP WILL lose their majority in '26
You would think some of those would have an opinion on this No Tax on Social Security issue. But nope, nada, zip.
Its just weird

Does reporting facts about how Israel influences our government, about their less than candid relationship with the US, about the factual stories like those that came out today about the people being murdered, is that "Israel Hate"?
I ask because what I'm seeing in the much bigger audience is a growing pushback towards Israel as certain truths and facts are exposed, not just out of thin air or some unexplained "hate" of Israel..
And the opposite pushback from those who defend Israel no matter what, that there can be no negative mention of Israel regardless of the facts. Can they do no wrong? Is that absolute?
I guess it comes down to whether or not one believes present day Israel is infallible or divine and therefore cannot ever be at fault.
I couldnt care less one way or the other. At the end of the day its a country thought to be friendly to the US, great. But I don't feel an allegiance to Israel or a need to defend every action of theirs regardless of whether they are at fault or not. I don't blindly pledge allegiance to Israel anymore than I do Trump.

No, nor do I. My allegiance is to my Lord and Savior Jesus. ONLY. Of course Israel has done many wrongs, just as our own Gov't. This will never end or change, actually as we all know it will only get worse.
I was not sharing what I did to direct this to anyone here nor to anyone sharing facts. It is important to know the Truth, whether good or bad. I am thankful for everyone here sharing.
Here on this Forum, I just see mainly disappointment in our Gov't, and campaign promises not kept or fulfilled yet. Understandable, but on the other hand there are many things, I personally see as good. Putting Iran in their place is the latest one, not just for Israel but for us too, the Mid-East, that region. I think you are going to see more nations come to Israel's and America's side in the coming months, years...or this is my hope.
There is enough hatred in the world for Israel and us. I just hate to see more, as we have all seen online lately.
Will there be total peace in the Mid-East, doubtful, but I think we are headed in the right direction.
Watching Jack Hibbs got me back on track as to why my Lord and Savior wants us to pray for and bless Israel. A Nation is it's people, I even pray for the people of Iran or any oppressed nation...
HTH
What IS Conspiracy versus Real? I think that's a very muddy line.
Hmmm....
Some "March on Washington" bullshit protest... and they are preparing.

I truly don't get it. All anyone has to do is look across the pond, the U.K. has a Huge problem with this and we are stupid enough to elect this into our Gov't. Oh Yeah, things are definitely going to get worse here...
Can't wait to see the woman's reactions who voted for this when they are forced to dress like that here...how stupid people are...oh yeah, I won't be able to see their reaction with the whole body and face covered...
