Turncoat

It happened again... Caught it the first time in Junior Year. And here it is again in the Unsleeping City: Chapter II, Episode 13...

It's so weird to hear this music that I do fully associate with Unus Annus pop up in my DnD Actual Play... Especially in the season about the importance of remembering.

Memento Mori, friends.

Concept inspired by a dream I had: half-vampire who's aligned with vampires but pretends to be a vampire slayer. A slayer mimic/impostor, if you will. Has vials of tap water labeled "holy water", wooden stakes which are actually hollow (if you try to use any means to apply enough force to impale someone, they just break), bulbs and blossoms which look like garlic but are actually different kinds of plants, and a cross-pendant which is actually an inverted Satanic cross, turned upside-down (it has unambiguously Satanic symbols "upside-down" on the "back", i.e. the Leviathan cross).

“I had predicted shortly after the war that, despite President Biden’s overwhelming support for Israel at the time, he would cave to his extreme, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel base once Israel began to fight back after the October 7 atrocities,” Mark Dubowitz, CEO of Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a Washington, D.C.-based defense think tank, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are fighting in one of the most dangerous and complicated urban environments in the history of warfare, against an enemy whose entire strategy rests on maximizing the number of dead Palestinian and Israeli civilians.”

”Hamas has run one of the most successful disinformation campaigns by lying about the number of casualties and how many are terrorists versus civilians. President Biden has fallen for this, even quoting Hamas [Gaza casualty figure] numbers in his State of the Union,” Dubowitz told the DCNF. “In doing so, he has fallen into the political trap set by Hamas, their terror masters in Iran and their supporters in Michigan and other key states.”

Gabriel Noronha, executive director of Polaris National Security and former State Department official, told the DCNF that Biden could have stayed the course in its support for Israel’s war against Hamas, but the recent “political” decision by the administration only bolsters the terrorist group’s chances of survival because the U.S. is indicating it wants the conflict to stop.

“Biden is falling for what his own administration correctly identified as Hamas’ war strategy. And they’re playing completely into it,” Noronha told the DCNF. “These are not idiots in the White House. They know exactly what they’re doing. They’re cognizant that the policy choices they’re making will ensure Hamas’ survival and their ability to attack Israel again. They have just chosen to put political expediency above the national security of the United States or Israel, to try to increase their odds of reelection.”

The administration’s decision comes after months of pro-Palestinian demonstrations throughout the country, with protestors demanding Biden call on Israel to initiate a ceasefire in Gaza immediately. A series of protests — some of which turned violent — disrupted civilian life, shut down buildings and roadways, and in some cases propagated antisemitism and targeted Jewish individuals.

Todays Word Of The Day is: Quisling

Quisling originates from the name of Vidkun Quisling. He was a Norwegian politician who collaborated with Germany during World War II. His name became synonymous with "traitor" after assisting in the occupation of Norway. English usage of the word began in the early 1940s.

Senator Bennet of Colorado reportedly said Biden can't beat Trump.

As a Colorado voter, I called Mr. Bennet's office and let him know how disgusted I was with attempts to force out our duly-elected nominee, and with his basically telling voters that there's no point voting. And made it clear that while I will support Democrats all down the ballot this election, his actions will affect my vote in future primaries.

An elite force of defective clones? What could be more defective than defecting to the enemy? Somehow more independently minded than Clone Force 99, this batch of clones are only loyal to the highest bidder, which just so happens to be the confederacy of independent systems...

From left to right:

Noman:

The brains and leader of the outfit, Noman can tell you the odds of just about anything. Unfortunately he's too much of a gamber, and will purposefully field subpar tactics for the thrill of it. For now, his squadmates tolerate his eccentricities due to his collaboration with the Techno Union to find a method of slowing their accelerated aging.

Brutus:

Though large and burly, none would suspect that this heavy weight's true strength is his mastery of psychological warfare, able to manipulate the weak minded with his knowledge of the psyche. If that fails, there's always chemical warfare.

Angel Eyes:

The pilot and sniper of the group, Angel Eyes had hijacked and Crashed just about every vehicle the Grand Army of the Republic has to offer. Get him out from behind cover though, and you'll find out just how big of a coward he really is.

Well, guys, I finally dipped my toes into the Dramione fandom, and the water is much deeper than I thought it would be. The story is called Turncoat, and you can read it here.
