I saw that one of the big-wigs in the Iranian government said that it is not the Iranian government that is shooting, maiming and killing civilians to put down the unrest but the Mossad [the Iranians are indeed sweet, gentle souls with almost pacifist views. Alhamdulillah!!]. Their motivation is to instigate Uncle Donald and get him to attack Iran.
Those Israelis are SO DARN clever!! Like - who woulda thunk it??!!!
First they get JFK, then Yitzchak Rabin [!!], then 9/11, then the whole Epstein business, then Charlie Kirk's murder, so much in between that we are waiting for people like Tucker to reveal - and now THIS!
I mean, a 900 page book with extensive footnotes could be written proving that they were behind the Holocaust - except for the fact that they didn't exist yet.

Speaking of Epstein - how come nobody ever talks anymore about Juan Epstein of Welcome Back Kotter. Or his full name: Juan Luis Pedro Felipo de Huevos Epstein.
Epstein was a fiercely proud Puerto Rican Jew. When asked if his mother was Puerto Rican, Juan replies that his mother's maiden name was Bibbermann and that his grandfather "saw Puerto Rico from the ship as he was making his way to America and decided to settle there instead of Miami", making him one of the earliest Puerto Rican Jews.
As a Puerto Rican Jew, he eventually became both the super of the building and also owned it.

[gets on Epstein's case about his "notes from his mother"] "Please excuse Juan for being a sheephead." Signed: "Epstein's mother's veterinarian".

Juan Epstein:
Mr. Kotter, I got a note excusing my absenteeism.
Gabe Kotter:
[Unfolds note, begins reading] "Dear Mr. Kotter. Please excuse Juan's abs - " Aren't you gonna read along? [Epstein shakes head no] "Please excuse Juan's absence. He was home sick with the stomach flu. Sincerely, Mrs. Epstein." Fine. That's okay, Juan. Your excuse is perfectly legitimate.
Juan Epstein:
I know. That's the problem. It's the first legitimate excuse I've turned in in 11 years. Me, Juan Epstein, the flim-flam man of Buchanan High School, a legit excuse. What's the world comin' to?

Juan Epstein:
[Late at night in the dark classroom] Hey, Horshack. Tell me somethin'. Do you ever think about what God is like?
Arnold Horshack:
Oh, yeah. I think he's short. And he has a marvelous sense of humor. And a great laugh.
Vernajean Williams:
Hey, God can do anything.
Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington:
He can?
Vernajean Williams:
SHE can. You know, she sings just like Aretha Franklin.
Juan Epstein:
Y'know, I think God is kinda tough, y'know? But he's fair. Sorta like John Wayne in a white beard, y'know? "All right, pilgrims, move those clouds in a circle."
Vinnie Barbarino:
I got my own idea of what God is like. I know he's a sharp dresser. He's good lookin'. And of course he's Italian.
Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington:
Yeah? Well, if you ask me, all that stuff about harps is a lot of jive. God is backed up by a jazz rhythym section. He got a piano, a bass guitar, and a drummer with a good right foot.
Julie Kotter:
Well, I think God is love. And if he were here, he'd love my tuna casserole.
Juan Epstein:
Hey, Mr. Kotter? What's your feelings on this subject?
Gabe Kotter:
Well, I think that, uh, God is everywhere.
Arnold Horshack:
Even in liver?
Gabe Kotter:
He's everywhere. He's in Times Square. He used to be in Ebbets Field. Spent a lot of time in Ebbets Field. He's Moonlight in Vermont, Autumn in New York, all the standards. He's everywhere... with the possible exception of Epstein's gym locker! GO TO SLEEP!!
