Alternate Uses for Salt

DIY 3 Minutes

While searching for something entirely different, I came across this article on How Stuff Works about some alternate uses for salt. 

From How Stuff Works:

In the Garden

Kill poison ivy. A strong solution of saltwater can kill an infestation of poison ivy plants. Apply a mixture of 1 cup (236 milliliters) of salt with 1 gallon (3.7 liters) of soapy water to the leaves and stems with a garden sprayer.

Deter ants. Keep ants from congregating in your garden by sprinkling ordinary table salt in areas where ants tend to gather. This also works to keep ants from coming into your house. Sprinkle salt across the path where they’re coming in and they’ll be deterred from crossing.

Slug those slugs. Sprinkle slugs with a heavy dose of salt to kill them. Wait five minutes, then sprinkle them again.

Control cabbage worms. Cabbage worms eat garden cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower. To control them, dust their leaves with a mixture of 1 cup (239 milliliters) of flour and 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of salt in in the morning or evening when they’re damp with dew.

Outdoor Gear

Deodorize canvas. Sprinkle salt inside musty-smelling canvas bags (or inside canvas shoes); zip up the bags and let them sit overnight. Dump out the salt the next day and let the bags air out.

Remove rust. Make a paste with 6 tablespoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice. Use a dry cloth to rub the paste on rusted bike handlebars, tire rims or other outdoor gear. Rinse and dry the areas thoroughly.

Health and Beauty

Exfoliate your skin. Salt makes a wonderful skin and/or face scrub. After you shower and while your skin is still moist, sprinkle salt onto your hands and rub it gently over your skin. The salt will remove dead skin and promote circulation. Sea salt is best.

Soothe itchy skin. Soaking in a tub of saltwater can be a great itchy skin reliever. Just add 1 cup (236 milliliters) table salt or sea salt to your bathwater to help soften your skin.

Cleanse and tone. Sea salt face toners are all the rage, but you can make your own by mixing 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl. Massage the mixture on your face and throat, being careful to avoid contact with your eyes. Follow by washing with your usual face soap.

Whiten your teeth. Don’t pay for expensive tooth whitener. Make your own with sea salt. It’s a natural abrasive, so it’s gentle at removing stains on your teeth. Just brush with it once a week.

Household Cleanup

Clear coffee stains. Add a mixture of 1 cup (236 milliliters) crushed ice, 1 tablespoon water and 4 teaspoons salt to your coffee pot and swirl the mixture. Rinse and wash as usual. Use the same method to get the stains out of your favorite coffee cups, too.

Deep clean oven and stove. Sticky spills are tough to remove from your oven and stovetop. Make it easier by sprinkling the spill with salt. Let it sit until the spill gets crisp and you can lift it with a spatula. You also can soak up liquid spills on the stovetop by sprinkling them with a mixture of salt and cinnamon. Leave it on the spill for about five minutes and then wipe away.

Sanitize the fridge. Just sprinkle equal amounts salt and baking soda on a damp sponge and wipe down the interior of your fridge.

Remove wine stains. Sprinkle kosher salt on the stain and let it sit for two or three minutes, then rinse with cold water.

Brighten your brass. Restore the shine to your brass and copper items by combining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of flour with enough vinegar to form a paste. Rub the paste on any brass or copper piece and let it dry. Wash off with soapy water and buff to a shine with a microfiber cloth.

Erase watermarks. Make watermarks on wood disappear with a paste of 1 teaspoon salt and a few drops of water. Gently rub the paste onto the ring with a soft cloth until it’s gone. Follow up with a good furniture polish.

  1. Morning All

    we had some thunderstorms roll thru early this morning but they were quick–just loud.

    came down to find another big pile of crap on the deck, so hubby is going to set the trap out and start getting rid of them. (the peppermint spray has to be reapplied after every rain and we haven’t been doing that faithfully.)

    1. Morning, Pat! We’ve got some of the angriest clouds around that I’ve seen in quite some time; thunder is rolling, rain falling, wind is rising…crazy, crazy clouds!!! The clouds themselves look worse than the storms here 2 days ago!! I’ve already brought all of the feeders in as well as my spinner. It’s worse to the SE, S & SW, with one small swath to the north still somewhat clear. Looks like a bad day here! At least it’s supposed to move thru quickly – gone by evening. People better get out and bring their trash bins in soon or they’ll be blowing all over the place! And these are the big, rolling bins!

      So, if I disappear, I’ve probably lost power. Hanging onto my hat here!!! I was considering a trip to Norfolk later but not now!!!

    The entire Rio Grande should now be declared an alligator habitat and must be stocked with thousands of hungry gators.

  12. More lawfare – lawyers! Throw them ALL into the sea with millstones!!!

    Just The News: “Attorneys for First Son Hunter Biden are preparing to sue Fox News for alleged efforts to “defame” Biden and for allegedly attempting to exploit his name and image, the attorneys said in a letter.

    Biden has frequently made headlines over the past year as he has faced multiple criminal investigations and served as a major witness in a House Judiciary investigation into his father President Joe Biden. However, Fox News has dedicated many hours to criticizing the younger Biden, and a review of network transcripts by Media Matters cites at least 13,440 mentions of Hunter Biden since January 2023, according to NBC News.

    A letter on the upcoming litigation was sent to Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on April 23, and focuses on the network’s airing of bribery allegations that originated from FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who was indicted by special counsel David Weiss in February for allegedly making false statements to the FBI. The letter claims that the network knew at the time that it was not verified, yet still reported it as “highly credible.”

    “For the last five years, Fox News has relentlessly attacked Hunter Biden and made him a caricature in order to boost ratings and for its financial gain,” Hunter Biden attorney Mark Geragos said in a statement to NewsNation. “The recent indictment of FBI informant Smirnov has exposed the conspiracy of disinformation that has been fueled by Fox, enabled by their paid agents and monetized by the Fox enterprise. We plan on holding them accountable.”

    The letter also claimed that the network aired “intimate images” that belonged to Hunter Biden, which were allegedly “stolen, hacked, and/or manipulated” and violate their client’s civil rights and copyright law. The first son’s attorneys also requested Fox News removes all six-parts of a “mock trial” titled “The Trial of Hunter Biden.”

    The new litigation follows a successful lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, which the network settled for nearly $800 million last year. The Dominion suit was related to the network’s coverage of election fraud allegations during the 2020 election. 

    Fox News has not publicly commented on the letter.”

  13. Just The News: “The parents of a group of four West Virginia middle school track and field athletes filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education regarding their punishment for refusing to compete against a transgender competitor.

    The four shot put competitors, and one teammate, from Lincoln Middle School refused to compete in an April 18 meet against the competitor who had won a court battle against West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act and was allowed to compete.

    “The minor student athletes’ protests were silent,” the lawsuit said. “They each stepped into the shot put circle, raised the shot put to their chins, and then stepped out of the shot put circle and handed the shot put to the official.”

    After the meet, each of the protesting competitors were ordered to run Indian sprints at a later practice and then were not allowed compete with the team April 27.

    The athletes attended an April 24 press conference with West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines on the topic. Middle schooler Emmy Salerno spoke on the topic that day but Salerno and her family are not named in the lawsuit.

    Morrisey filed a brief in support of the lawsuit, an appeal for an injunction to allow the middle schoolers to compete.

    “Plaintiffs have no other avenue to seek reprieve from this blatant violation of their minor children’s rights to free speech and expression,” the lawsuit said.

    Morrisey argued in his brief that state law requires that athletes along with a school principal or designee much appear before the West Virginia Secondary Schools ActivitiesCommission Executive Director after a protest that includes a failure to compete to determine if further action is necessary.

    “It gives the WVSSAC executive director the sole power to investigate, evaluate, and ultimately decide whether any possible sanctions should issue as a result of a protest action,” Morrisey wrote. “This process improves consistency in how protest actions are considered by having any follow-up handled by a single statewide official, with the institutional history and support of the WVSSAC at their disposal.”

  14. I don’t usually post this guy/gal’s comments because they are sooo long but this was very informative for me vis-a-vis the ICC (spawn of Soros) vs the ICJ:

    https://www.axios.com/2024/04/29/netanyahu-biden-icc-arrest-warrants-war-crimes

    Our Take: “Let me begin by saying that I have a real problem with the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is not to be confused with the International Court of Justice (ICJ)—both operate out of the Hague.

    As Matthew Ehret has explained on Breaking History, the ICJ was formed when the UN was created after WW2, and intended to serve as a forum for bickering nations to peacefully resolve their differences. The ICC was created 20-some years ago by George Soros, and has been used as a weapon to target world leaders who oppose the Unipolar World Order, such as Putin. The ICC has been used to expand the presumed powers of the UN so that it could begin to act as a form of global government. (The ICJ, on the other hand, does not possess nor does it claim to possess any powers to enforce measures against offending nations in its court.)

    With all of that said, I think it would be foolish to chalk this all up to Soros, and dismiss this development as a political prosecution. (I do, however, think that the Soros-funded pro-Palestine protests are designed to be conflated with this development, in order to create confusion.)

    From tracking these events and stories over a long period, I have noticed that an incredible amount of international pressure has been applied to the ICC and other UN organizations, in an attempt to bring Israel to heel. For what it is worth, Putin has not been phased at all by the arrest warrant issued for him by the ICC. The reason I think Netanyahu is worried is not just because of the ICC warrant. There’s a lot more going on across the geopolitical landscape.

    The United States has announced that it is issuing additional sanctions against five other IDF Battalions, on top of the sanctions it has already drawn up against the Netzah Yehuda—the 900-man ultra-Orthodox IDF Battalion—for human rights abuses and other war crimes. What’s interesting about these new sanctions is that it’s being reported that the body of evidence against the IDF all pre-dates the October 7th attack. As I’ve written before in the Brief, there is plenty of photographic and video evidence of IDF misconduct in Palestine over the past 20 years.

    Last night, reports were that China is formally demanding that Israel end its occupation of Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank.) China has been calling for peaceful de-escalation and a two-state solution since Israel invaded Gaza back in October, so this marks more aggressive posturing from Xi toward Netanyahu. And Iran did not take the bait to escalate kinetic conflict with Tel Aviv.

    Now the European nations have announced that they plan to formally recognize Palestinian statehood, breaking from the tradition of unconditionally supporting Israel— reportedly under influence of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

    And to top it all off, The Saudis hosted a World Economic Forum meeting in Riyadh this past weekend—which has been planned since last year—where Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan delivered a masterclass in how to be an affable diplomat, even in front of an audience of villainous sociopaths.

    It is fair to say that sympathy toward Palestine is at an all-time high, and Netanyahu has basically just said that the war has no end in sight, as Gaza is pulverized from dust into, well, a more fine dust. The allegations toward Netanyahu are really more about the IDF preventing aid trucks from entering Rafah to deliver food and medicine. This is something that Faisal bin Farhan has been highlighting for months.

    There is real power projection happening right now against the globalist cabal, using their own platforms and soapboxes against them. And the globalists are actually quivering in fear. But the real subplot here is the American Deep State, which is using the [Israeli-owned] Congress to threaten the UN and ICJ, arguing that they have no authority or jurisdiction.

    That’s unfortunate timing for the Deep State, as I recall many expressing concern that they would lean on ‘pandemic/public health’ jurisdiction arguments to justify surrendering the sovereignty of the United States and her citizens to a foreign authority such as the UN or WHO. This is a swollen-shut black eye in the face of Agenda 2030 and the World Economic Forum movement toward a centralized world authority.

    In summary, all I see when I read this is a counterinsurgency [of sovereign nations] against a network of sociopathic oligarchs hellbent on one-world-government, succeeding on multiple fronts.” — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

  20. National Pulse, William Upton, Tuesday, April 30, 2024

    “West Wing Creator Aaron Sorkin Is Working on a Jan 6 Movie.”

    “Aaron Sorkin — creator of liberal television and film mainstays, The West Wing, The Newsroom, and The Social Network — is claiming Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook bear responsibility for the January 6 Capitol riots. During a recent appearance on “The Town with Matthew Belloni” podcast, Sorkin explained how he believes Facebook’s algorithm promotes increasingly extreme content, ultimately radicalizing its more politically engaged users.

    “Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible,” Sorkin said. He added: “Because that is what will increase engagement and because that is what will get you to, what they call inside the hallways of Facebook, the infinite scroll.”

    Sorkin’s comments echo a similar concern raised by Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA). The National Pulse previously reported that Higgins, through his own investigation, uncovered evidence that federal law enforcement infiltrated online social networks — including Facebook — where American veterans groups would communicate.

    Higgins said it was through interactions with veterans in these groups that the FBI appears to have created agents provocateurs. According to the Louisiana Republican: “The original seeds of riotous or illegal or occupation-type behavior amongst these groups were planted by the FBI agents embedded in those groups.”

    The comments by Sorkin may also appear intended to stoke interest in his new film project — an untitled movie about the January 6 Capitol riots. He would not confirm whether the project will be a direct sequel to his Oscar-winning screenplay for the 2010 film The Social Network.“

  21. National Pulse: “Kevin McCarthy Recruits DEI-Promoting, BLM-Loving Missouri Consultant To Primary Matt Gaetz.”

    “Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has recruited Aaron Dimmock, who hails from Missouri, to primary conservative stalwart Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL). After Gaetz successfully used a Motion to Vacate to oust McCarthy from the House Speakership, the California Republican signaled he would recruit challengers to each of his House colleagues who voted with Gaetz.

    Dimmock, a U.S. Navy veteran, is by no stretch a conservative Republican. He has shown support for Black Lives Matter (BLM) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs according to his social media. The Dimmock congressional campaign and McCarthy’s American Patriots PAC share a treasurer — suggesting the two entities will be working closely in McCarthy’s effort to exact political revenge against Gaetz.

    While working as a director for the workplace training and consulting firm Chapman & Co., Dimmock shared his employer’s social media posts praising the BLM movement. During the summer of 2020, riots perpetrated by BLM supporters across several major U.S. cities cost taxpayers upwards of a billion dollars in damages. In Washington, D.C., the riots cost an estimated $14.5 million alone. Dimmock also shared posts on his LinkedIn page touting that at Chapman & Co. “we commit to audit every business process to ensure they reflect a culture of inclusion” and “serve non-profits advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

    “I’m excited to welcome Missouri-based DEI instructor Aaron Dimmock to the campaign. This is Trump Country. Our pronouns are USA and MAGA,” Rep. Gaetz said in a recent interview. He added: “I’m a proud Trump Republican. I stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump to defeat Joe Biden, secure our border, restore our economy, and support our veterans.”

    This is the guy that continuously lied and said he had proven evidence that President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. He led the sham impeachments against the best President in modern history and richly deserves any consequences he may receive for his unethical behavior.

    “EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Shows Adam Schiff Falsely Registered, Ineligibly Voted, and/or Committed Mortgage Fraud”

    Schiff refinanced his home in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 claiming the Maryland home was his primary residence. In 2009, a House Ethics investigation claimed that Schiff did this and Schiff claimed it was an error and he repaid the exempt taxes to the state of Maryland.

    A fellow member of Congress was charged with criminal counts for doing the same thing, Steven Watkins, of Oklahoma.
    In addition, the amount of the home mortgage has remained basically the same this entire time. Congress should look into this as well.

    Adam Schiff, despite claiming to live and represent the people in the state of California, filed and reaffirmed through refinancing documents, his primary residence at 8204 Windsor View Terrace, Potomac Maryland, 28054. Adam Schiff’s on the record acknowledgement of the mortgage document filings (primary residence in Maryland) during a House Ethics hearing via claim of a “mistake” evidences acknowledgement of mortgage fraud.

    Schiff received better rates on his mortgage on the Maryland property by claiming it was his primary residence as opposed to his secondary residence.

  23. Hmmm….losing the MI Muslims now?

    National Pulse: “The perception that Joe Biden is unmovable in his support for Israel’s war against the Hamas terrorist group may already have delivered a mortal wound for his presidential re-election efforts in Michigan. Despite Biden campaign officials attempting to shore up support among Arab-American and Muslim voters, some are insinuating they’d rather see former President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

    Palestinian-American comedian Amer Zahr puts the problem Biden faces among the crucial demographic for Michigan Democrats in stark terms. “What do they say? ‘What are they going to do, vote for the guy that banned Arabs?’ And the answer is yes,” he said. He continued: “Imagine thinking it’s a good argument to say to a community that has lost 30,000 people, ‘Watch out for the guy that’s going to ban you.’ You’re really asking me whether I’m going to take a ban or a genocide? I’ll take a ban.”

    “If it came down to Trump and Joe Biden, I will vote for Trump. Because it doesn’t get worse than Joe Biden,” a Dearborn man identified as Salah said in a recent interview with Slate. A man named Amad added, “Biden was supposed to be the peacemaker. The comfort-maker. Instead, he became accessory to the biggest genocide in modern history.”

    While the Biden campaign has intensified efforts at outreach among Michigan’s large population of Muslim voters, the Middle Eastern residents of the state seem to believe it is too little too late.

    “We want to show a shift from the 2020 election to 2024. That they are not only losing the presidency, but they are losing the constituency,” Salah said. Another man, named Mohamed, said he cast his primary vote for former President Trump in the state’s primary and intends to vote for him in the November general election as well. As it stands, Biden currently trails Trump in most presidential election polls in Michigan.”

  35. look at this load of crap…

    Far-left Rep. Jamaal Bowman told a reporter in a recent interview that he supports bringing refugees from Gaza to the US as well as amnesty for all the illegal immigrants in the country. 

    The interview with a Yonkers Voice reporter took place last week and has since gone viral online with the well-known fire-alarm-pulling congressman.  

    When asked by the reporter in the interview if he supports allowing refugees in Gaza to come to the United States, he stated that he “fully supports” the measure as well as “amnesty for the migrants who have been here for quite some time.” 

    “We are a land of immigrants, and we are a land of asylum seekers,” he began in his answer. “Anyone escaping persecution and oppression and violence, the United States has always been the open home to those people, whether they come from Palestine, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Haiti.” 

    “They’re coming here to contribute to our economy, which 99.9 percent of them are. We’ve always been a place to open our doors to immigrants coming here. So fully support that. And also, fully support amnesty for the migrants who have been here for quite some time,” he added.  

    During the interview, Bowman also claimed that America colonized Africa when he spoke about US foreign policy being rooted in “racism” as well as “imperialism.” He also advocated for reparations in the interview. 

    Aside from becoming well-known for pulling a fire alarm to delay a congressional vote, Bowman has also recently been duped into asking a fake “Gaza rabbi” to host a fundraiser by a parody account that pokes fun at progressive views on the Israel-Hamas war.

    Smith said, “I worked in that office, and my salary was significantly less than what that attorney [Wade] was paid.” He also explained, “And I was responsible for handling a lot more cases than one.” Great point.

    Smith also dinged her, saying he heard she might have gone to the White House Correspondents dinner and that she was fundraising, but where was she for Fulton County? 

    Willis apparently doesn’t feel that she has to show up and can just blow off the debate. Instead, she was hosting a “Self Care Fair.” She likely knows she would have to face questions about her actions and she wouldn’t be able to answer them. She’s also facing multiple probes and investigations, so she likely can’t feel comfortable about putting answers on the record about multiple subjects.

  47. “Family Of Tumbleweeds Excitedly Makes Trip To Biden Rally”

    CHANDLER, AZ — After the Biden campaign announced their latest rally in the increasingly purple swing state of Arizona, a family of tumbleweeds excitedly made the journey to attend.

    The family of 3 tumbleweeds, including a dad, a mom, and a little tike tumbleweed, are representative of a key demographic that Biden needs to lock in to secure the number of electoral votes needed to remain President. According to experts, tumbleweeds are a growing percentage of the population attending President Biden’s campaign stops.

    “We’re thrilled to see so many enthusiastic supporters roll in like this,” said one Biden campaign spokesman as the balls of dry brush entered the empty arena to the sound of whistling desert wind.

    Polling data shows the president is significantly trailing Donald Trump in key swing states. Experts say this makes the tumbleweed vote more important than ever.

    “Yeah, we had no problem finding a seat with a good view,” said the dad tumbleweed. “We tried to attend a Trump rally once, but there were too many people and we kept getting stepped on. It was awful. That’s not a problem here.”

    At publishing time, the tumbleweeds were having some slight difficulty rolling back home and were waiting to see if the wind would blow back the other direction.

  48. “Oh No! Indoctrinated Woke Extremists Destroy Woke Extremist Indoctrination Center”

    NEW YORK, NY — The world watched in horror last night as a large group of indoctrinated woke extremists destroyed a woke extremist indoctrination center.

    Experts expressed serious concern that woke extremist indoctrination may slow to a crawl after an unexpected turn of events resulted in woke indoctrinated extremists launching a violent, destructive assault on a renowned woke extremist indoctrination center.

    “We didn’t see this coming,” said one official. “After spending decades brainwashing young, impressionable people into volatile, savage revolutionaries, we were shocked to see them unleash such volatility and savagery while trying to launch a revolution. We wish there had been warning signs along the way.”

    Students who engaged in the violent attack were thankful for the years of intense training they received from the institution they were now actively working to destroy. “I owe everything I am to this place,” shouted one protester as he threw an improvised Molotov cocktail through the window of the administrative building. “I could never have grown into the angry, destructive, violent person I am without the education I received here. While you’re here, can you help me set the place on fire?”

    Authorities watched the vicious display, unsure how to proceed. “What are we supposed to do in this situation?” asked one officer. “Do we save the institution that taught these people to think and behave this way? Wouldn’t that just allow them to create more woke extremists? This is a real pickle.”

    At publishing time, the school’s leadership was confident that the government would do nothing to impede their ongoing efforts to make the country worse and more dangerous.

  49. “Church Leaders Get Russell Brand Up To Speed On Christian Theology With ‘VeggieTales’ Marathon

    LONDON — In an attempt to lay a solid biblical foundation following his recent baptism, church leaders worked to get Russell Brand up to speed on Christian theology by sitting him down for a VeggieTales marathon.

    The group of assorted clergymen believed the best way to help Brand understand scriptural truth was to play him every episode and movie of VeggieTales ever made.

    “This will be foundational for his faith,” said Rev. Ken Hyland. “We don’t want the young seedling of belief in Russell’s life to be choked out or wither away due to lack of spiritual nourishment. That’s why we’re starting with bedrock VegieTales episodes like ‘Rack, Shack, and Benny’ and ‘Dave and the Giant Pickle’ and cranking through as many as we can until he’s seen them all. VeggieTales was made for such a time as this.”

    With Brand’s conversion and public profession of faith drawing increased attention online, church leaders knew they had little time to put him through any seminary-level courses on theology, opting instead for the tried-and-true VeggieTales crash course. “It’s basically the same stuff he’d learn at a fancy divinity school anyway,” Hyland said. “I challenge anyone to come up with a theology class as comprehensive and informative as ‘Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush.’ It’s not possible. Because it doesn’t exist.”

    At publishing time, the church leaders confirmed Brand had watched all episodes successfully and was preparing to binge all episodes of Adventures in Odyssey.

  50. “Trump Alludes that Netanyahu ALLOWED October 7th Attacks!”

    CLANDESTINE, APR 30, 2024

    ***MASSIVE Development:***

    “In Trump’s interview Time Magazine, he heavily criticized Netanyahu and his handling of October 7th, claiming that Netanyahu had all the equipment and capability to stop the attack.

    Trump is alluding that Netanyahu ALLOWED the attack to happen…

    Trump said, “They (Israel) have the most sophisticated equipment. They had — everything was there to stop that. And a lot of people knew about it, you know, thousands and thousands of people knew about it, but Israel didn’t know about it, and I think he’s (Netanyahu) being blamed for that very strongly, being blamed.”

    Israel supposedly have some of the best intelligence on the planet, the most secure border on the planet, they were warned by multiple allies of the upcoming attack, and still, they allowed it to happen.

    Trump recognizes this and is rightfully calling it out. This also blasts a gaping hole in the false narrative that Trump is subservient to Israel. Trump just indirectly accused Netanyahu of allowing a terrorist attack to happen to his own people…

    Perhaps this will win Trump some support with the Left and younger voters as well, as the only current candidate willing to criticize Israel.”
