Is it just me or does this not make any sense and has no point

Whether the :bouncy: is true-ish or fictional:

1. "That Kennedy kid" refers to RFK Jr., whose Children's Defense Fund website is a nest of anti-vaxxers, some raising concerns worth studying, some posting craziness, including some against The Vaccine (Covid vaccines);

2. DURHAM D is probably invoking the DU-grade Prog stereotype that all conservatives are anti-vaxxers. In the real world: many, probably most, conservatives are not; many Libs and Progs are (I saw this in discussions of public schools' vaccination requirements on a homeschooling discussion site that had a lot of liberals - 1999-2001, when usage of "Progressive" was not yet back in vogue).

Pissed off 90 year old woman...

Earlier today I dropped a friend off at the clinic for a doctor's appt. Later as I was waiting in the pickup line to get her an older woman slowly walked past on her way to the parking lot. She was walking with a cane and struggling a bit. I rolled down my window and asked her if I could her help her in any way.

She responded that she was okay but she was sort of pissed. She told me some of her polio symptoms had returned. She went on to explain that she was 90 years old and she first got polio in 1942. We went on to share about friends and family members who had polio and the fact that it can come back.

Then she went on to talk about the stupid parents who won't vaccinate their kids and how much she hates that Kennedy kid.

Netanyahu at the UN

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/09/netanyahu-at-the-un-2.php

Quote
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations today. Many delegates, mostly from Islamic countries, walked out before he began speaking. Liberals arranged a demonstration outside the U.N. building, at which perennial miscreants like Susan Sarandon were arrested. The thought occurs to me: Sarandon has been getting arrested for, what? Twenty-five years? Has she ever spent a night in jail? Sadly, I doubt it.
...
Netanyahu paid tribute to America and to President Trump:

Quote
In this battle against the barbarians, we’ve had no greater partner than President Trump.

I thank him for his bold leadership.

He boldly confronted an enormous danger to America, Israel and the world.
Decades ago, he understood that if left unchallenged, the fanatic ayatollahs who chant “Death to America! Death to Israel!” would eventually carry out their mad fantasies.

So Israel and America acted together not only to protect ourselves, but to save civilization. Brave American pilots alongside brave Israeli pilots flew joint missions over the skies of Iran.

Netanyahu's speech was short of consistent with the DU OP claim.

I don't see where gab13by13 gets this claim. OTOH, I do see that:

* Trump met with Netanyahu on July 28, 2026, https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-says-white-house-meeting-with-trump-was-one-of-the-best-weve-ever-had/ ;

* Trump met with Netanyahu on September 29, 2025, https://spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/politics/2025/09/29/netanyahu-trump-meeting-white-house-gaza-war .

While Netanyahu apparently did not meet with Trump during this 8 hour visit to the US (Reuters had nothing about Trump refusing to meet), https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/netanyahu-s-fleeting-visit-to-new-york-mirrors-strained-us-ties/ar-AA2cTIy2 , "Trump has met Netanyahu eight times during his second term as president." Eight meetings in 20 months. How many times, in 16 years, did Netanyahu meet with Obama and Biden?

BWAHAHAHA! Krasnov Refuses To Meet With Bibi

Bibi is in the US expected to give a speech at the UN today. It was expected that Krasnov and Bibi would meet with each other.

Krasnov is shunning Bibi because people are saying that Krasnov is upset with Bibi because he promised the Iran war would only last 3 or 4 days. Bibi ****ed Krasnov royally, he wants an ongoing war to keep him in power, however, the ongoing war is ****ing Magats chances of winning our election. A con man conned another con man. Oh and Prince Bone Saw was all for the war also and he is getting hit with Houthi karma.

I'm hoping for this on election day:

Gas - $6/gal
Diesel - $8/gal.

Hey folks, it's our best chance to win the election, campaign speeches write themselves.

California gunman repeatedly released before deadly rampage, fiery shootout with deputies

https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-gunman-repeatedly-released-deadly-rampage-fiery-shootout-deputies

Quote
A California murder suspect was arrested three times in less than two weeks and walked out of jail after each bust before authorities said his crime spree ended with an innocent woman dead and a fiery shootout with deputies.

Prosecutors said they tried to keep Derek Spencer, 44, behind bars after he allegedly assaulted a Sacramento County sheriff’s deputy. Instead, he posted bail, was arrested twice more and was released both times before allegedly killing 76-year-old Cheryl Macy, a beloved former Placer County District Attorney’s Office employee.

"Sadly, this should never have occurred but bail reform in California has prioritized criminal offenders over victims," the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Spencer was ultimately killed early Monday after allegedly opening fire on Placer County sheriff’s deputies during a tense standoff in the rugged forest near Iowa Hill.

The dude sounds like a solo-Clyde-Barrow wannabe.

But for Sacto's one-size-frees-most moronicity, Cheryl Macy would be alive.

Florida history teacher Liz Ballard ‘deliberately tried to cancel’ 8th grader ‘for his conservative views’

https://nypost.com/2026/09/24/us-news/florida-history-teacher-liz-ballard-deliberately-tried-to-cancel-8th-grader-for-his-conservative-views/

Quote
A Florida history teacher allegedly tried to “cancel” an eighth-grader enrolled at one of the state’s elite schools for his conservative beliefs – and now she’s facing calls to be fired.

Liz Ballard, a teacher at Pine View School in Osprey, Fla., is accused of singling out the boy as the “conservative perspective” in her classes before describing him as a “misogynist” and spreading the slur around the school, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a letter on Monday.

Ballard allegedly “harassed, disparaged and deliberately tried to ‘cancel’ an eighth-grade student for his conservative views” during her debates — even though he had previously warned her “his parents expressly forbid him to take part,” according to Uthmeier’s letter.

She “singled out this student and in defiance of his parents’ express instructions, pressured him to defend political positions… in front of his classmates,” the pol said, engaging in what he described as the “reputational destruction of a child.”

The educator then allegedly blasted the boy’s family, “openly [questioning] the suitability and influence of [his] father.”

As an aside, that last quoted sentence highlights a danger in school teachers being legal mandatory reporters. Had she reported this boys parents to CPS for abuse or neglect, her madatory reporter status would have given her greater credibility than some random person. Since her class probably had 20-30 students, interviewing the students to confirm or show as false this students claims, this teacher should either be exonnerated or canned (posted to a "rubber room"?) by resumption of school after Chri ... errrr ... winter vacation.

WHAT HAPPENED: The Republican National Committee (RNC) and New Jersey GOP leaders filed a lawsuit against state election officials and five counties, alleging they failed to release federally mandated voter roll maintenance records. The lawsuit follows the discovery of noncitizens on the state’s voter rolls and aims to compel transparency.

📺 DETAIL: The RNC alleges that New Jersey election officials and county authorities in Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex, Somerset, and Union counties have withheld key records required by federal law. This follows revelations of over 6,600 noncitizens being registered to vote, some of whom had participated in past elections. The RNC has previously sued the state over similar issues, with this lawsuit serving as part of a broader campaign to ensure election integrity nationwide.

💬 KEY QUOTE: “The RNC exposed noncitizens on New Jersey’s voter rolls. Now, election officials are hiding the records that would tell voters how it happened. The RNC won’t stand for it.” – RNC Chairman Joe Gruters

"The United Nations has become a useless organization whose entire function is to feed a caste of arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned officials.

Those who claim to defend human rights have backed bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets.

They systematically voted against Israel while staying silent in the face of Islamist terrorism and the murder of Christians in Africa."

I think "complicit," would be a bit more accurate than "staying silent".
