Ann's Mega Dub: His history of miracles

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

FORMER PRESIDENT AND FOREVER CROOK DONALD TRUMP CELEBRATED TODAY BY COMPARING HIMSELF TO JESUS CHRIST. HE MADE THIS COMPARISON -- THIS LAUGHABLE COMPARISON -- ON THE SAME DAY HE WAS IN COURT TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHY THE CASE OF HIS PAYING HUSH MONEY TO A PORN STAR TO COVER UP HIS EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS -- SOMETHING WE ARE NOT REMEMBERING JESUS EVERY DOING. LIGHT A CANDLE FOR OUR FELON OF INDICTMENT WHO ALSO DECLARED TODAY THAT MAYBE HE'LL USE HIS OWN MONEY TO FUND HIS CAMPAIGN -- WHAT MONEY, HE COULDN'T EVEN MAKE BOND LAST WEEK -- AND MAYBE HE WON'T "IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS."

ACTUALLY, IT IS THE F.E.C.'S BUSINESS AND IT IS THE PUBLIC'S BUSINESS.

DONALD SEEMS TO THINK HE CAN THROW HIS WEIGHT AROUND -- HIS WEIGHT AND THAT CITY-LOT WIDE KRINGLE BOOTY.

TOLD THAT "IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD," DONALD EXPLODED WITH CURSES, CRIES OF BEING SICK OF SOCIALISM AND SWEARING TO KILL ANYONE WHO EVER SAID THAT. STRIPPING OFF HIS CLOTHES, HE SCREAMED HE WAS A SAINT WHILE RUNNING DOWN THE CENTER OF MADISON AVENUE -- IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, FACING INCOMING TRAFFIC.

BELOW, WE HAVE FACT CHECKED THE FORMER SLUM LORD'S CLAIM THAT HE IS A SAINT.

REFLECTION: DONALD JOHNANUS TRUMP WAS BORN JUNE 14, 1946, INTO A CROOKED AND CORRUPT FAMILY IN JAMAICA OF QUEENS. HIS FATHER WAS A TWO-BIT CON ARTIST AND HIS MOTHER OVERSAW BACK ALLEY ABORTIONS. THE FOURTH OF FIVE CHILDREN, DONALD 1ST RECORDED MIRACLE OCCURRED IN SECOND GRADE WHEN, DISCOVERING HE HAD LEFT HIS SACK LUNCH AT HOME, WITH JUST HIS INDEX FINGER AND HIS RIGHT NOSTRILS, DONALD WAS ABLE TO DIG DEEP ENOUGH TO SECURE ENOUGH BUGGERS NOT JUST FOR LUNCH BUT ALSO FOR THE AFTERNOON SNACK. MOVING INTO HIS TEENAGE YEARS, DONALD ATTEMPTED TO TURN REPULSIVENESS INTO CHARM -- A MIRACLE HE'S YET TO PULL OFF BUT CONTINUES TO ATTEMPT.

DONALD JOHNANUS TRUMP'S NEXT KNOWN MIRACLE TOOK PLACE FROM 1964 TO 1968 WHILE HE WAS AN ADULT. AS 2.7 MILLION AMERICANS SERVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR, DONALD CONJURED A BIG, FAT YELLOW STREAK AND PAINTED IT DOWN HIS BACK ALLOWING HIM TO RECEIVE NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, BUT FOUR -- FOUR! -- DEFERMENTS ALLOWING HIM TO REMAIN OUT OF THE U.S. MILITARY. HE FOLLOWED THIS WITH A MEDICAL DEFERMENT AND THEN HE WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM THE DRAFT DUE TO MYSTERIOUS -- MIRACULOUS? -- SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF BONE SPURS.

FROM THERE, DONALD JOHNANUS TRUMP -- OUR LIABILITY OF LARD ASS -- JUST CONTINUED TO PROFIT FROM THE MISERY AND WORK OF OTHERS.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

As the assault on Gaza continues, more protests and actions take place in response. Maya Pontone and Rhea Nayyar (HYPERALLERGIC) report:

On a sunny but cold Sunday afternoon, hundreds of pro-Palestine activists unfurled a massive quilt on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, calling for an end to Israel’s hostilities in Gaza. The action, which began around 12:40pm today, March 24, attracted over 350 participants.
Titled “From Occupation to Liberation,” the quilt was comprised of 65 artworks by various anonymous artists, some featuring traditional Palestinian taṭrīz embroidery. Other squares referenced poet Refaat Alareer, who was killed by Israeli bombardments in Gaza, and Thomas Kilpper’s “Jenin Horse” (2003) — a 16-foot sculpture that previously stood in the West Bank city of Jenin before it was removed by Israeli forces in late October. As the quilt was spread out across the museum’s main entrance, activists encircled the display, carrying signs that read “We See Genocide,” “Let Gaza Live,” and “None Of Us Are Free Until Palestine Is Free.” The protesters also broke into Palestinian dabkeh folk dance.
Organizers of the protest told Hyperallergic that the artwork was modeled after the historic NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. Prints of the quilt are also available for purchase online. All proceeds will go to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the humanitarian relief organization that aids Palestinian refugees in Gaza and elsewhere, recently targeted by Israel and the US.

Protests and actions have taken place around the world. JTA notes:

The University of Turin is suspending a collaboration agreement with Israeli universities and research institutes after a wave of student protests over the Israel-Hamas war.

The school’s academic senate voted on Wednesday to ban participation in an initiative financing joint research projects between Italy and Israel, while rejecting calls for a broader cessation of ties with Israeli universities.

The decision has raised concerns among Italian Jewish leaders even after the university’s rector emphasized that collaboration currently in place would continue.

Des Moines' KCCI notes, "People in Des Moines are calling for an end to the violence in Gaza in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war. On Saturday, the Catholic Peace Ministry organized a rally outside the Polk County Democratic Party's convention at Lincoln High School." RTL explains, "After more than five months of war in Palestine, Luxembourg City saw another round of protests on Saturday. Between 200 and 300 protestors gathered in a demonstration organised by the Committee for Fair Peace in the Middle East (CPJPO). The protestors demand an immediate and sustainable ceasefire, an end to the Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank, and the release of all hostages." ANADOLU AJANSI adds, "Israel's attacks on Gaza were again protested in marches Saturday in Vienna, Berlin and Dublin." CTV reports, "Two of Quebec's largest unions joined a demonstration in downtown Montreal in the snow on Saturday in support of the Palestinian people. The march was largely focused on a demand for an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza." Anthony Segaert (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD) reports:

Police have arrested 19 people after they gathered at Sydney’s Port Botany to protest the arrival of an Israeli cargo ship they accused of transporting weapons and supplies for the country.

Hundreds of protesters, joined by federal Greens senator and deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi, began protesting close to the facility on Sunday evening before marching across Penrhyn Road, the main access point out of the city’s port facility.

And Danielle Echeverria (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE) reports:

Hundreds of people, including members of dozens of faith communities, walked 22 miles from Berkeley to Alameda on Saturday to advocate for a cease-fire in Gaza.

The 22-mile journey was intended to mirror the distance that those fleeing Gaza must travel to reach the Rafah crossing, where more than half of Gaza’s population has taken refuge, according to the Associated Press. The East Bay demonstration was one of more than 150 planned across cities in 19 countries in recent weeks, according to the Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage, an organization connecting churches and other faith groups to organize the demonstrations.

In addition to a cease-fire, the protesters are calling for the immediate release of all hostages, the flow of food, water, aid, fuel and humanitarian assistance, and the end of the Israeli occupation of Gaza.

More and more people speak out. Saturday, Philip Dewey (WALES ONLINE) reported:

Charlotte Church performed as part of a group singing in support of Gaza at Barry Island Promenade. The Welsh singer has lent her voice to a number of pro Palestine causes, calling for an immediate ceasefire on the Gaza Strip.

The Big Sing for Gaza event took place on Saturday at the popular tourist attraction, with fundraised for the Middle East Children's Alliance. Church led a choir on the promenade, singing "Let Gaza live", with the event also including kite flying, sand art and floral tributes.

Speaking at the event, Church said: "It's been a beautiful event, I feel very passionate about whatever I can to raise my voice to call for a ceasefire and to call to end the occupation of Palestine. What we're seeing happen in Palestine, what we're seeing happen to civilians, to children to babies, to birthing mothers, it's unbearable, it's unbearable to witness and I just (feel) like I have to do whatever I can as one small human to be with these other wonderful humans whose hearts are breaking over what is happened and what they are seeing, and what's being allowed to happen.

"Our government is complicit, America's government is complicit, and other world governments who are complicit in this and are still sending money and weapons to Israel. As a mother it's just too much, it needs to stop, it needs to end. I'll keep coming out until it does. Not just a ceasefire but an end to the occupation. Palestine has been under an apartheid system and a military occupation in Gaza since the 60s, and a really violent military occupation.

VATICAN NEWS reports that Cardinal Gianbattista Pizzaballa has termed the Gaza situation "objectively intolerable" and "Everyone -- religious, political, and social communities -- must do everything possible to put an end this situation." AP notes U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has called it a "moral outage." Former UK Prime Minister David Miliband, International Rescue Committee president, terms it "a failure of humanity" -- see video below.

And AOC started the weekend calling it "an unfolding genocide." Lauren Aratani (GUARDIAN) reports:

Progressive US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the Israeli military campaign in Gaza an “unfolding genocide” in a scathing speech that demanded the Joe Biden White House suspend aid to Israel’s armed forces.

“As we speak, in this moment, 1.1 million innocents in Gaza are at famine’s door,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a speech on the House floor on Friday.

Citing 30,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza and noting 70% were women and children, she continued: “A famine … is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government. This is a mass starvation of people, engineered and orchestrated.

“This was all accomplished – much of this was accomplished – with US resources and weapons. If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes.”

Sebastian Murdock (HUFFINGTON POST) notes, "Friday marked the first time the congresswoman has publicly called the ongoing violence in Gaza ― where more than 30,000 people have been killed by Israeli forces ― a genocide. Of those deaths, more than 25,000 have been women and children, killed in an offensive launched in response to the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel."
