UN Revises/Reduces Gaza Death Numbers for Women, Children by Almost Half, Explanation Is Embarrassing
Nick Arama


The UN just made an embarrassing adjustment to their estimated number of deaths in Gaza. They just halved the number of women and children previously estimated to have been killed.

    While more than 9,500 women and 14,500 children were reported among the fatalities by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on May 6, two days later that number was revised significantly downward. Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as casualties.

Part of the problem was that they were using numbers from Hamas-controlled sources. And even now, that's still what they're relying on — the numbers from the Gaza Health Ministry. Listen as the UN spokesperson tries to explain how the numbers can be so off — but hey, you can rely on them, because we're always checking on them — even though they were running with incorrect numbers.

Michael Cohen takes stand to testify against his ex-boss

Michael Cohen entered the room through a side door and walked, as all witnesses have, behind the defense table where Trump is sitting.

He did not make eye contact with Trump as he took the stand to testify against his former boss.

because a lot of armed Hamas will be left, no matter what they do in Rafah, or if they leave and get out of Gaza, as we believe they need to do.
But yet a lot of armed Hamas will be left if Israel does exactly what Biden wants it to do...quit the war!

Absurd.

These rallies, although large for Trump, can end up being deceptive

There were frequent articles about the "enthusiasm gap" in 2012 for Romney vs Obama. People like Carl Rove, for example,  predicted a Romney win based on that. And polls backed up the case that Republican voters were more enthusiastic about voting for Romney than Democrats were for voting for Obama. Obama did end up losing votes from his 2008 totals but won re election

It's hard to beat an incumbent. That incumbent not only has to be extraordinarily bad but the challenger has to convince voters why he/she would be a better replacement. "The incumbent sucks"  isn't enough


Also in 2020 Trump had huge rallies, and still lost.

 Blinken delivers strongest public rebuke of Israel yet: ‘Get out of Gaza’

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday delivered one of the Biden administration’s strongest public rebukes of Israel, amid its war with Hamas in Gaza.

During a pair of TV interviews, Blinken said the United States wants Israeli forces to “get out of Gaza” amid what he described as “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians.”

He also said Israel’s tactics in the war have failed to neutralize Hamas and could create a power “vacuum” in the Palestinian territory.

When asked about the US withholding high payload bombs to Israel, America’s ally, Blinken said: “We believe two things. One, you have to have a clear, credible plan to protect civilians, which we haven’t seen. Second, we also need to see a plan for what happens after this conflict in Gaza is over. And we still haven’t seen that because what are we seeing right now? We’re seeing parts of Gaza that Israel has cleared of Hamas, where Hamas is coming back, including in the north, including in Khan Younis.”

He added: “As we look at Rafah, they may go in and have some initial success, but potentially at an incredibly high cost to civilians, but one that is not durable, one that’s not sustainable. And they will be left holding the bag on an enduring insurgency because a lot of armed Hamas will be left, no matter what they do in Rafah, or if they leave and get out of Gaza, as we believe they need to do. Then you’re going to have a vacuum and a vacuum that’s likely to be filled by chaos, by anarchy, and ultimately by Hamas again.”

"The other thing that we're hearing coming out of the White House itself is… President Biden needs to campaign less, talk less, because he gets in trouble while doing it," he continued.
Interesting that this is a Biden quote. Biden constantly says, "I can't talk anymore or I will get in trouble.", then he wanders around the stage for a while eventually drifting off.

Reminds me of the universally repugnant Hillary Clinton. Her managers eventually had to do a "Biden Bunker Boy" type campaign with her too. Because every time she held a press conference or a so called 'rally' (couple of dozen people at best), her poll numbers went down. So eventually they took her off the stump.

 Dems pin Trump in NYC courtroom and he just turns it into his own personal campaign stage
By Social Links for Miranda Devine
Published May 12, 2024, 9:57 p.m. ET

When Joe Biden flew to San Francisco on Thursday for some fancy fundraisers, reporters noted that all the televisions on Air Force One were tuned to MSNBC, where the chyron read: “Stormy Daniels wraps 7-plus hours of testimony in Trump hush money trial.”

The president might be enjoying the wall-to-wall coverage of his opponent stuck in a Manhattan courtroom, but it probably is not the electoral gift Biden imagines.

Ever the showman, Donald Trump has flipped the adversity of his lawfare travails into a triumph of free media hits worth almost $2 billion, according to data provided exclusively by his campaign.

With cameras banned inside the courtroom, the former president makes his own news when he turns up at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse at Centre Street each day.

Every morning and some afternoons, Trump stands in the draughty 15th-floor corridor outside courtroom 1530 and addresses the assembled press pack without notes for three to five minutes, delivering pithy political bullets on the news of the day, trashing Biden, Judge Juan Merchan and the lawfare that Democrats are waging against him.

Trump campaign reacts to Biden’s ‘disgusting’ Mother’s Day ad
May 13, 2024 | Chris Donaldson

No holiday is sacred to President Joe Biden who already proved it with his marking of something called the Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.

Now his team used Mother’s Day as the excuse to launch a “disgusting” new ad fearmongering moms to reject the candidacy of former President Donald J. Trump, a lowball move that was denounced by the former president and his campaign.

“Donald Trump wants to separate mothers from their children and allow laws that rip away IVF access and monitor women’s pregnancies,” the Biden-Harris HQ said in an X post sharing its short video. “This Mother’s Day, do the moms in your life a favor: Stop Trump.”
