Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) was confronted by peace activists in Washington on Tuesday about the Israeli slaughter in Gaza and sparked an outcry for saying “kill ’em all” when asked about Palestinian children being killed with US support.
“I’ve seen the footage of shredded children’s bodies. That’s my taxpayer dollars that are going to bomb those kids,” an activist said to Ogles.
“I think we should kill ’em all, if that makes you feel better,” Ogles replied. “Everybody in Hamas.”
The comments sparked an outcry and backlash, including from within Ogles’ state of Tennessee. In response, Ogles’ office insisted he was specifically talking about Hamas, but the congressman said “kill ’em all” after the activist referenced children being killed by Israel with US support.
Ogles also justified the brutal Israeli campaign in Gaza by saying, “Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It’s time to pay the piper.”
Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), recently made similar comments when asked about babies being killed in Gaza. “These are not innocent Palestinian civilians across the world,” Mast said.
When asked about the Palestinians who are starving in the Gaza Strip, Mast replied, “The half a million people starving to death are people that should go out there and put a government in place that doesn’t go out there and attack Israel on a daily basis.”
Andy Ogles is my Member of Congress, I did not vote for him. He, Brian Mast, Nancy Pelosi and many other war criminals are like Madeleine Albright saying it was good that Iraqis starved due to sanctions and it was bombed by the US and UK even after the Gulf War ended and before the Iraq War started.
The Democrats simper pretty words as they commit atrocities. The Republicans revel in their crimes.
Yet it’s the Democrats that are in charge though and that makes their pretty words particularly revolting.
This is repulsive of course, but we all know how money talks…..It would be interesting to know how much AIPAC cash he has received in campaign donations.
He makes me look like a moderate on the Israel Gaza war.
“He makes me look like a moderate on the Israel Gaza war.”
True, yr merely an apologist for genocide; Ogles all but openly endorses it. Yr nothing like him.
Tim, I’ve seen you moderate your tone and even criticize Israel over the past couple of weeks. I hope this is because you see the carnage and your humanity is calling out to you. There’s always more room on the antiwar side of the fence. I don’t, like some, think Israel is 100% to blame for every aspect of the I/P situation, but I think it should be becoming increasingly clear to anyone paying attention to what is coming out of Israel that something is seriously wrong. The occupation has poisoned the soul of that nation and at this point I don’t know what it is going to take for them come back to their senses.
This was his reply to me when I suggested there was a lot of space between doing nothing and genocide:
“And the counter attack is certainly between nothing and genocide. You may not like it, but the civilians losses are what one would expect in urban warfare, maybe even on the light side.”
So no, his humanity ISN’T calling out to him.
It is NOT a war. No more than there was a war on terror. If it were a war, it would be between combatants with equal resources; jets, tanks, ordinance, detection abilities. Only on “combatant” has all, plus, a sugar daddy supplying all the ordinance needed.
“If it were a war, it would be between combatants with equal resources”
By your definition, there have been very few wars in history.
“Come back”? Zionism was always fascism.

Yes, I am aware of history of Zionism, but there used to be a strong peace movement in Israel that doesn’t seem to exist anymore. The last 15 to 20 years have seen that movement wither and die. If there is an Israeli peace movement it is on life support and/or being suppressed by the media and government.
The vast majority of Israelis support the ongoing genocide. Most are likely unaware of the true history of Zionism and its willingness to sacrifice lives, including theirs, for imperial power. The indoctrination begins at birth. It won’t change until they go through the entire phases of cognitive dissonance, just like brainwashed Americans need to.
I agree for the most part, but I suspect their are more Israelis than one would think who do not support the genocide. Much like the USA after 911 it is very difficult to criticize the “war time” government along with active media censorship of any opposing views. My point was that even ardent supporters of Israel like Tim Burns are starting to moderate their position and waffle on their full throated support for what is now undeniably a genocide. I welcome them coming to their senses and calling for an immediate ceasefire.
“The General’s Son” by former IDF Special Forces soldier, also the son of an Israeli general, writes about that. From an early age, Jewish kids are taught to hate Palestinians with a passion.
The oxygen was cut a long time ago. There some peaceniks in Israel, such as the Jewish Voice for Peace, but when 60% of the Jews in Israel say more carnage needs to be applied, you have a problem.
No, he doesn’t. He sounds JUST like you.
If a politician said kill all of the Israelis and then when called on it, say “I meant just Likud” you think that would fly? Sounds like warmonger Nikki Haley with her “Finish the Job”, that sounds a lot like “Final Solution”.
So it would appear.
War criminal. And if anyone had any question of the US being complicit in genocide, here’s your answer.
It is a time in US for Nazis to say openly what they think and be proud of themselves. They know, many million Americans support them.
By the way, Germany, at the moment, is not much different. In a way, it is even much worse.
They have. Just the other day. So f*cked. My father was in the Army during WWII, fought in the European, Middle East and North African theaters. Never spoke about a lot of it, only to mention when on the cliff in Normandy, if he heard a “pop!”, to cling to the cliff’s wall and pray the grenade missed him. The fact of NAZIs openly parading around in the U.S. would have put him over the edge. I believe the worst of the combat he was in was the street to street combat.
Ex-NATO Official REVEALS The Lies Of Neocon Warmongers To German Public
You are about to see a public lecture by retired General Harld Kujat, who served in the German Airforce and even was the chairman of the NATO Military Committee from 2002 to 2005. He has emerged in Germany as another outspoken critic of the way NATO and the Europeans are abusing Ukraine for the geopolitical benefit of the US. General Kujat is so outspoken that Wikipedia “knows” that he belongs to the inner circle of Vladimir Putin. Ha!
There are also a lot of Europeans who see behind the Propaganda and the veil of lies. Many thanks and a shout out to the German portal “Nachdenkseiten” for broadcasting this and to the “Eurasien Gesellschaft” for holding the event. Links to both in the description
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U21-RrB8E6Q
Don’t forget, Germany is still occupied with thousands of American troops and nuclear missiles everywhere.
That’s true but what is, probably, no less important, German media is controlled by US oligarchy and they are promoting Nazism the same as they did it all those years in Ukraine. And they do it quite successfully.
We only let Germany and Japan rebuild so we could have posts to protect empire. We occupy every place we go to. Iraq wants us out of Iraq. We say to them, “f*ck you”. So it goes.
I also think the CIA and global business interests meddled in the elections in Europe, and not just in Germany. They are deindustrializing Germany and the EU the same way they deindustrialized the US some 40 years ago, when they created the Rust Belt and moved the Steel mills to S. Korea among other things. .
Zionist Mast supports terrorism. The definition of terrorism is to attack a group or a people not for any military benefit but to terrorize them into changing their views or actions. Mast wants to terrorize ordinary Palestinians into carrying out regime change on Mast’s behalf, or he’ll keep hurting them. Terrorism.
Yes, Terrorism. No mention of 75 years of brutal occupation. No mention of the brutal occupation. No mention of the lack of freedom of movement by Palestinians. No mention of limitations on food, medicine, potable water. No mention of constant raids, the detaining of Palestinians, even children. No mention of destruction of crops. No mention of sniper fire killing Palestinian children. “Attack Israel on a daily basis”. Wow. Just for wearing his IDF uniform, in his office, makes him eligible, to me, of putting him on a plane out of here.
They just interrupted him while he was singing along with Bob Marley: “…For what, I don’t know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow, and so…” “Freedom came my way one day.” Spy, help me out with the rest of the lyrics.
A statement like, about Amy other groups, would ban the speaker from entering many countries. But this ban might not be applied in the case of Palestinian children.
It’s perfectly acceptable to have prejudicial opinions in the US if it involves: Russians, Arabs or Muslims and the Chinese.
The list changes over time, but that’s the current list alright. Russians have been on the list for a while …
Rotation of boogiemen. Spin the dial, where it stops, that’s your boogieman.
Muslims are having a continuous run considering they are US supported freedom fighters turned “terrorists”.
….or White males.
I’m not sure whether you are indicating that you are in favor of such bans, but just in case:
Freedom of speech is meaningless if it doesn’t apply to offensive speech, speech you hate spoken by people you hate. That includes speech approving of disgusting behavior of all sorts, including violence.
In the US, the 1st Amendment protects such speech, as it should.
See, inter alia, Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969)
Emphasis added.
There public benefits that flow from this protection. For instance, we now know what a disgusting piece of work Andy Ogle is.
No I am not for the ban. I am speaking of the law in some European countries . In this case , I am wondering would these European governments such France and Germany who wholeheartedly support all Israel action including killing children apply their law to Andy Ogle. I wasn’t speaking of the US but European countries who have such law that in many times was applied selectively.
The nation has gone mad, how else would they elect people from the insane asylum?
Killing Palestinians is the current substitute for negros now that lynching is out of fashion.
The US is bombing Somalia. They got that covered too.
There will be an outcry when there is another “Black Hawk Down” incident. Those dirty black men, etc, etc, yada, yada.
Israel should use Napalm and Thermobarics, and then plow ’em under with big bulldozers. Kill ’em all in the most efficient way possible, and get it over with.
Nazi
Worse.
At least he’s honest about it… No mealy mouthed “ I’m just talking about Hamas “ dodge.
How do you feel about Tel Aviv being turned into what Gaza is now? Any rational person understands that unbridled evil is always beaten..that evil is what consumes the entire Zionist cult.
Sarcasm, I hope……………..if not, you have forfeited your afterlife.
“Ogles’ office insisted he was specifically talking about Hamas, but the congressman said ‘kill ’em all’ after the activist referenced children being killed by Israel with US support.”
1/ Not a misunderstanding – that was a calculated outrage, a crypto-communication to his anti-refugee, pro-genocide Trump-er base, ‘the quiet part out loud with deniability.’
See? In the Ogles pov, ‘there are no innocents,’ and Israel leads the way – is doing what the US should be doing to nonwhite foreigners – whether at the Mexico border, or from the ME:
“Rep Ogles joins bill to ban Palestinian refugees from entering US ‘We MUST stop Biden from importing terrorists,’ Ogles wrote” (WSMV4)
2/ I think citizens should not re-elect the US politician antidemocratically rejecting the will of his electors and enabling genocide. But…
…it’s crucial to be super-clear-headed about what this means: to fracture the Democratic base – to demonstrate that Democrats can no longer win by supporting a genocidal apartheid state their own base rejects – means, right now, the return of Trump and his depraved company.
Do you really see a difference in the depravity? I don’t. One utters lip service. That’s the difference.
BTW, has the CIA made its choice who they will help be president like last time?
Former Obama CIA Chief Backs Nikki Haley
Michael Morell, a retired CIA chief, mobilized one of the most overt and controversial efforts by intelligence officers to shape a recent presidential election.
https://jackpoulson.substack.com/p/former-obama-cia-chief-backs-nikki
We are pretty f&cked, aren’t we?
Things can only improve for the Palestinians with Trump’s return, especially now that he’s shed most of his depraved company who so eagerly turned on him after the last election.
This is assuming there will be any Palestinians left by the time of his inaugural.
Things couldn’t get much worse for the Palestinians. But they probably thought that before Trump became president the first time. But once more here’s what brilliance the Don has put forth regarding the current slaughter;
On the campaign trail, Trump has signaled a lack of engagement in the conflict, suggesting that he would “let this play out.” His one concrete suggestion? In an interview with Univision in November, he said that Israel needed to “do a better job of public relations, frankly, because the other side is beating them at the public relations front.”
Can’t wait.
Not a profile in courage but smart politics. He’s got to keep a lot of MAGA folks on side that have conflicting views on the subject.
Biden says it and he’s condoning genocide. And MAGA folks are on his side regardless of what vile shit comes out of his mouth.
One could argue that “let this play out” is consistent with non-interventionism, the centerpiece of paleoconservative Republican foreign policy.
Compare that to the unhinged rhetoric of his rival, Nazzi Haley or the far worse actions of Genocide Joe Biden.
Yes, one could argue that. If one were grasping at straws. And anyone looks good compared to Haley and Biden. Wanting the lesser of two evils isn’t my game.
The lesser of two evils is the only game in town..
Just hold yer nose and pull the lever.
The last time a US election for federal office was tied was 1826, and there’s never been one that was decided by one vote.
Whoever carries Florida in 2024 will likely do so by at least tens of thousands, and more likely more than 100,000 votes.
Therefore, I’ve got precisely zero reason to vote for a candidate I don’t like out of fear that not doing so will result in a candidate I like even less will win because of my vote.
If I vote, I’ll vote for the candidate I like best in that race. And if I really dislike all of them, I’ll leave my ballot blank for that race. Voting is speech. I’m not going to use my speech to indicate support for a candidate I oppose.
I recall an election that hinged on a Florida count of a lot less than 100,000 votes.
Hey if you find a protest candidate that better reflects your views then go with them – or if it’s non of the above, sure, leave it blank. I’ve done that before and will likely do it again, just not this time.
“I recall an election that hinged on a Florida count of a lot less than 100,000 votes.”
True, but it didn’t hinge on one vote, and it’s kind of proof of concept — if an election can be stolen in broad daylight regardless of how you vote, why worry about whether your vote will affect the outcome?
What it demonstrates is the increased value of your one vote in a close election.
E pluribus unum!
Absolutely. And I consider the most valuable use of my vote to be a very small addition to the “neither of these evil freaks” column rather than an infinitesimal addition to the “one of these evil freaks” column.
IF you actually show up at the polling station and pull the handle without making a selection, that’s commendable.
Your presence is recorded and no evil freak benefits. I don’t know how many people do that but nowheres near as many who just don’t show up.
But this is true of the old mechanical electoral booths that keep a tally of votes and voters. I don’t think it’s true of the new computerized system. If you skip a race out of conscience nobody is going to know but you.
A “None Of The Above” ought to be on offer… With the possibility of the office remaining vacant if NOTA wins.
Waddaya think?
“If you skip a race out of conscience nobody is going to know but you.”
True. But if very many people do, it will show up as a noticeable discrepancy in the totals, i.e. 100,000 voted in a congressional race, but only 90,000 voted for president in that district.
And it’ll be explained away as “voter apathy” instead of a deliberate message of voter disgust.
Everything inconvenient gets explained away. And those who do the explaining may be believed, or not. Existence mucus carnival.
I just can’t do that. I have a hard enough time trying to get to sleep at nite. I don’t want Biden. I didn’t want him before Gaza but now he’s at the bottom of my ballot.
True.
But historically, his various pieces of campaign rhetoric disappear faster than a free hit of acid at a Grateful Dead show as soon as checks start getting waved under his nose.
And this particular issue is a great example. He started his 2016 presidential campaign making noises about getting some movement toward peace between Israel and Palestine. Then Sheldon Adelson said the magic words — “one hundred and twenty five million dollars” — and he changed positions faster than you can say “most pro-Israel presidential candidate in history.”
Their are many many candidates for most pro Israel and Trump hardly leads the league.
Adelson’s $$$ went into Republican coffers and Trump being the team player he is, naively went along with his Party. A tragic mistake that culminated with the hiring John Bolton and the undoing of what might have been Trump’s greatest foreign policy achievement – the end of the Korean War.
Now Adelson is dead and his wife is a lot tighter with a buck. The neocons are dead to Trump as well.
“Things can only improve for the Palestinians with Trump’s return, especially now that he’s shed most of his depraved company who so eagerly turned on him after the last election.”
Willing to argue yr 2 assertions…after you support them:
‘can only improve’? ‘shed most of his depraved company’? arguments & evidence, please…
My first assertion is self evident as things can’t possibly get worse for Palestine.
As for the depraved company that are no longer on his Christmas card list let’s go down the line.
Netanyahu – even if he hadn’t stabbed the Donald in the back after the ’20 election, he is damaged goods and a liability.
Kushner – Trump’s son of a bitch n law and former wingman on Palestine also showed his true colors even before the election was called, abandoning the man that kept him out of bankruptcy.
Pence – The Administration’s resident Judas is toxic.
Giuliani – The down and out ex Mayor of America will be suing Trump for imaginary legal services. A nice Thank You to his ex-boss for holding a fund raiser for the bum.
Nikki and the neocons are all now neonevertrumpers and won’t be invited back to the Trump Whitehouse for certain…
That’s all I have the stomach to recall for now but if i think of anyone else I’ll let you know.
Each and every one you mention could be back in the Donald’s good graces with the right amount of ass kissing. But none of them will be needed anymore so you are probably right. Or Haley could be his VP. He talked shit about DeSantis, and I see he’s on the VP list. He’ll still be plenty loyal towards Israel in his second term. And the bullshit that nothing would have happened if he had been President won’t work anymore either.
Well the only way to find out for sure is put him back in the White House and see if things improve.
It’s the only way we can be sure!
“He’ll still be plenty loyal towards Israel in his second term.”
‘i’m w/banned’ gave no evidence he wouldn’t be.
Thanks fr civilly taking up my post.
1/ “My first assertion is self evident as things can’t possibly get worse for Palestine.”
Dunno what to say…simply asserting it’s “self-evident” is literally an assertion to support an assertion…not an actual argument or evidence…
2/ “As for the depraved company…no longer on his Christmas card list let’s go down the line. Netanyahu – even if he hadn’t stabbed [T] in the back after [20] is damaged goods and a liability.”
a/ “Stabbed” him “in the back”?
b/ Supposing – after running roadside campaigns w/Trump’s mug next to his – N. did do…whatever yr gonna show he did…Does that matter?…
…As a practical US domestic political matter – ie, in terms of Republican vote:
i/ Evidence it’s changed T’s readiness to ‘go full Israel’ to win his core Christian Zionists?
ii/ And has N’s ‘fallen reputation’ changed Republican projected support for Israel or Trump? (I’ll grant polling shows Israel’s ghastly genocide has somewhat increased polled right wing support for a ceasefire…though how that ‘ranks’ vs beating Biden…another question.)
Israel’s ghastly genocide has somewhat increased polled right wing support for a ceasefire..
That’s right, the needle is moving and we still have a long trek to election day.
Trump’s reticence on speaking out more forcefully one way or the other shows he’s keeping his options open. Without the court jesters surrounding him and whispering in his ear, he may do the right thing.
What do we got to lose?
The Times of Israel: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/100-times-president-trump-supported-israel/
You forget Trump moved the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He has kept the money and weapons spigot full on. There’s more. From The Times of Israel: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/100-times-president-trump-supported-israel/
Trump went along with what Congress demanded for decades – move that Embassy.
You can blame if you want but he didn’t act alone.
Likewise the military assistance. You saw what happened when he even bluffed withholding a military appropriation for Ukraine.. Impeachment with extreme prejudice.
Now, imagine what they would have done if it were Israel’s rice bowl he threatened.
During his speech at the religious convention in Nashville, Trump told the audience about how he moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2018, which saw the U.S. officially recognizing the holy city as Israel’s capital.
While retelling the story, Trump described how “I did it, and therefore ISRAEL became the capital, and it was a big thing.”
And that was just this week. He not only bragged again about his loyalty to Israel, but he also showed his senility too by saying Israel instead of Jerusalem.
It is true that he did it where as his predecessors did not but he could not have if Congress didn’t decide the issue beforehand. It does give him bragging rights and he’s playing it for all it’s worth.
The verbal gaff is pretty typical of people who speak extemporaneously and not all that alarming.
I think the important thing here is to rid the country of Biden and Trump is just the guy to do it.
Then give his predecessors credit for NOT doing it instead of making excuses for Trump doing it. He did it for his own benefit just like he does everything else and him bragging about it should make you ill.
His verbal gaffe was just one of many. Again, Biden does it, it’s senility. But since Trump is “only” 77, it’s just verbal gaffes.
I want Biden gone too. But I don’t want him replaced by his fucking clone. Trump will be starting his second term at an even more advanced age than Biden started his first term. We should be realizing the mistake of hiring someone well past their shelf life instead of repeating the same mistake over again.
I’m not making excuses, just stating facts. Trump approved an act of Congress. If that coincided with his political fortunes, so be it.
I don’t think the swapping out of Israel for Jerusalem rises to the same level as the gibberish that Biden babbles with more frequency by the day. I do think that having somebody, however flawed, in charge is better than having what amounts to nobody in charge.
You’re blaming congress for what Trump did. Sounds like an excuse to me.
And here’s a few more of his senior moments.
One clip started mid-sentence, showing Mr Trump speaking in New Hampshire: “Which is incapable of solvin’ even the sollest… smallest problem. The simplest of problems we can no longer solve.”
“People want the border wall. My base definitely wants the border wall, my base really wants it — you’ve been to many of the rallies. OK, the thing they want more than anything is the wall. My base, which is a big base; I think my base is 45 percent. You know, it’s funny. The Democrats, they have a big advantage in the Electoral College. Big, big, big advantage. … The Electoral College is very difficult for a Republican to win, and I will tell you, the people want to see it. They want to see the wall.
“Nikki Haley, you know they, do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it, because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people,” Trump said
I blame Congress for what Congress did. Regrettably Trump went along with it but what did it actually change. Israel was in possession of Jerusalem before the US Embassy changed address and it remains in their hands regardless.
It doesn’t matter what it actually changed. We’re talking about Trump’s loyalty to a foreign country. It certainly reinforced that. And what congress did was irrelavant until a president came along and was willing to cross that line. Which is what Trump did.
Trump’s loyalty was not reciprocated… His memory might not be what it once was but he won’t soon forget that.
Only with Bibi. And only because Bibi called Biden and congratulated him on winning the election. I don’t believe Trump’s loyalty to Israel will change. And by Inauguration, Bibi will be gone.
And so will the Palestinians… In Gaza anyway.
It was not a mistake. To be fully beneficial in the eyes of AIPAC, all members of Congress must say things like that, you know, be a good supported of the Final Solution. Pretty sick, isn’t it?
Hamas has been attacking Israel for 20 years?? Well, Israel has been stealing Palestinian land and killing Palestinian people for 75 years. Take that!
And now, famine comes to the Gaza Ghetto:
An eight-year-old Palestinian girl has died from dehydration and starvation in Gaza City, the NGO, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported on Saturday.
The organisation’s teams in northern Gaza said that Hanin Saleh Hassan Jumaa died from a severe calcium deficiency caused by starvation.
“I [cannot] forget the night of my daughter Hanin’s death when she asked me for food, and I told her, ‘Sleep, I will bring you in the morning,” her father said.
He said that the following morning, she began to moan. “When I sat next to her, I found her as if she was preparing to die.
“I rushed her…to the hospital on a donkey cart due to the lack of cars, only for the doctor to tell me that my daughter had died from dehydration and lack of food.”
Short trials, long drops, short ropes all around.
Time to get out the guilotines.
….and “handle with care.”
Not good enough…

Thank you.
In every conversation with members of media, congress, it is agreed that what Israel is doing is monstrous, then they immediately swing to the Hamas action of 7Oct labeling it equal, never mentioning the occupation, the blockade, and, the fact that numbers of Israelis were deliberately fired at by the IDF with tanks and Apache helicopters. Never. It is as if it did not exist. Orwell coined it best in “1984”: “he who controls the present controls the past, he who controls the past controls the future”. Also forgotten is Hamas lacks what the IDF has; jets, tanks, never ending supply of ordinance. A war??
You missed the part where TN Rep Ogles unilaterally instituted, out of whole cloth, new International Law giving uniquely to Israel “the right to punish Hamas.”
With a 100K Palestinians dead, maimed, or missing and the rest starving – mostly children – at what number is punishment enough?
https://x.com/AndyOgles/status/1760504307420442803?s=20
Israel is destroying Palestine and with it America.
About what I would expect from anyone associated with the US Federal government
US politicians like Mast and Ogles are pawns for AIPAC. This lobby controls all of the compliant and mendacious parasites called politicians in the congress and the senate minus one or two…this brand of vermin needs removal before our country is deemed a failure
Ogles also justified the brutal Israeli campaign in Gaza by saying, “Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It’s time to pay the piper.”
I almost missed this. What planet does this moron live on? Not only was the piper paid, but he was also paid disproportionately. Each and every time. Not on a genocidal scale like we have presently, but the amount of killing between the sides has been very lopsided in Israel’s favor over the last 20 years.
I really wish I would see this kind of anger, passion and outrage from Representative Andy Ogles pertaining to the invasion of millions of illegal aliens at the US border. He is being paid to represent people in Tennessee, not Tel-Aviv.
Maybe even Ogles is smart enough to know that people going about their business without your permission isn’t an “invasion.”
We all had to jump through hoops to get our drivers licenses renewed (6 forms of ID etc) not long ago because the government wanted to make sure of who we were. Now millions of people can just pour across the border (covid vacinated or not) and the Biden regime could care less. You don’t like the word invasion. Okay, how would you describe millions of people pouring into the US uninvited?
I went for more than a decade without state ID over those hoops, and have never supported a state power to “make sure of who we were.”
I don’t see any particular reason why Pedro from Juarez would need an “invitation” to go work in Little Rock any more than Warren from Philadelphia needs an “invitation” to get dinner and a show in Atlantic City. And I don’t give a tinker’s dam if Pedro, or you, are vaccinated.
I would describe millions of people pouring into the US “uninvited” in the same way I’d describe millions of commuters moving between towns, cities, and states every day to go to the office or to church or to McDonald’s — people moving around without, and with no need for, your permission.
As long as they’re not Palestinuan.
Ogles is just another one who needs voting OUT. Every Member of Congress who is ignorant about what Occupation means and is not fighting to have the Occupation of Palestinians END, should not be a Member of Congress. We should be backing the Palestinians in their Rights, be backing any People who are fighting for their “Freedoms”. We are a Republic, because our Founders fought for freedom from British Occupation. America is on the wrong side, it is always the wrong side, when a Genocide is occurring to protect the War Criminals. Ogles is siding with War Criminals, Genocidal Mad Men, as are others in Congress. Genocide is a HATE CRIME against all Humans and our Congress all need to be charged with Genocide.
Another defendant for war crimes trials. Complicity is guilt.
We were harsh with the Nazis, for exactly these sorts of things.
These two punks would fit in very well as members of the SS.
Both of U chumps, get out of my country, the USA and move to Israel.
BTW, I have only USA citizenship, how about you? Ya, I know at least one of U are dual, P.O.S.
I think Andy ogles his mirror image at least every hour.
