Description

The Beverly Hills School Board’s recently passed a controversial resolution to fly the Israeli flag at public schools, recognize May as Jewish Heritage Month, and designate October 7th as a remembrance day. The measure passed narrowly but sparked outrage from critics who argued that flying a foreign flag in U.S. schools amounts to endorsing Israel’s government amid accusations of genocide in Gaza. Supporters tried to frame the move as combating antisemitism and supporting Jewish students, while opponents highlighted hypocrisy, indoctrination, and the exclusion of other communities. As guest host Misty Winston and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger observe, the school district superintendent overruled the board, citing safety concerns, and announced that only U.S. and California state flags will be displayed on campuses.

When Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress, all the members clapped like trained seals and gave him over 50 standing ovations. Tells you everything you need to know about who really runs this country. Very dark times. Viva Palestine.

Holy shit! As an outsider looking in at America, i’m just in disbelief. The US is rapidly regressing into a dystopian society. It’s nightmarish.

Naples Italy 1977. My Navy shipmate and I are out enjoying a drink...well maybe a few drinks, and while sitting at the bar he notices me looking at the horrible scars on his arms. He says, "not supposed to talk about it but, I was on the USS Liberty when we were attacked in 1967. They were using napalm. My job was to carry the wounded into the Mess Deck. The Sick Bay was way too small for so many wounded (he was a cook). The burns I got were from napalm still burning hot while we carried them in. Everybody knew it was Israel and that they knew we were an American ship. They burned 3 flags with napalm. Each time we put a flag up it was hit again with napalm. Our radio signals were blocked. After it was over they moved all of the survivors to different ships and we were told not to talk about it". 10 years later and he had tears while talking to me. We never spoke about it again.
