Condoms To Gaza

February 24, 2025February 24, 2025

Yes, explained Fareed Zakaria at the end of Sunday’s show, USAID did send condoms to Gaza — but not that Gaza, the one in Mozambique! And he explains why. And presents the bigger picture so, so well.

Maybe it could be one of your DIS-disinformation posts:


It’s true!  Even liberal CNN admits USAID sent condoms to Gaza!!!  You gotta watch!!!!


And don’t miss Fareed’s take on Ukraine and why we’re surrendering to Russia.




Your feedback:

Jonathan R.: “DIS-disinformation.  It’s an interesting idea.  I posted something innocuous on LinkedIn about “don’t we need the IRS guys to catch the billionaire tax cheats so that we can lower the deficit?” and got hundreds of misinformed messages, such as “the problem is not tax cheats, it’s that half of the jobs in America are for the Federal Government. I am tired of paying them.”  (The correct number is 1.87% of the jobs, and that includes park rangers, FAA guys etc.)


Jane B.: “I totally love this idea but may I make a suggestion?  Spell a few words wrong.  Don’t be overly grammatical.  Add a bunch of !!!s.  Will be more realistic.”


Friedrike M.: “Avoid big words like ‘bewilderment’.  Dead giveaway.”


Jane S.: “Omg you’re reading my mind! I have been mulling this over for days. My daughter briefly dated a very handsome athlete who was QAnon. It was short-lived (thank God) but then she couldn’t shake him. Being fearful that she would run into him again she created a fictitious handle and signed up for a QAnon site so she could keep her eye on him.”


Tom M.: “I think this is very clever and wonderfully subversive.  Since I don’t use any of the platforms like X, I wouldn’t have an idea of how to start.”

→ There are endless opportunities.  For example, I just went to Breitbart and clicked on a story . . . then scrolled down to the 525 comments it’s generated so far:  Comments: Democrats Panic over President Trump’s Talk of Reforming U.S. Postal Service.  Have at it!


Bob P.: “Do you know any popular Catholic/Christian platforms to post on?”

→ Try these?


Peter S.: “Good idea. BTW, Musk has 13 kids as of a day or two ago.”


Danny G.: “I think we either have to stop listening to the news (life is quite nice that way) or do as several friends I know….they got citizenship in Portugal. Or hope that Trump f***s things up so badly that the people who thought he was their guy will turn on him.  I have a saying on my refrigerator:  ‘Some people are like Slinkies—generally useless but bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs!’  What are your thoughts?”

→ Love the Slinky line.  Disagree we should tune out and give up.  We owe it to all the folks who sacrificed so much for democracy, and to future generations (and to ourselves!), to resist.


Have a great week.
