Here are 2 quotes for you to ponder. First, from Nick Fuentes: ."Make no mistake about it, Trump has already dragged us into the war in Iran. Our unconditional commitment to defend Israel enabled Netanyahu to provoke this war, which he knows he can’t finish alone. This has all.

It appears that Iran is launching a strike at a U.S. air base in Qatar. They did it before, when America killed the leader of the IRGC. Total cost in that instance, several dozen cases of TBI from exploding ordinance, but no deaths. Iran should hope that no American is killed in.

And it starts. There are calls on Bluesky to impeach Trump, with Chris Hayes of MSNBC fame (kinda - his ratings are pretty sucky) saying the strike was completely illegal. Too bad for Chris, 'cuz he's dead wrong on this. Whether or not you like it, the president has the power.

It's looking like Trump may send in a "bunker buster" bomb to put an end to the Iranian nuclear weapons program, at least for now. I'm of 2 minds about this. First, I'm tired of the U.S. taking upon itself the job of world policeman. Over the years, we've tried to impose our.

It's never too late to learn!. At the age of 68, I learned something new about myself. Until recently, I didn't realize that people could actually visualize objects in their mind vividly. I assumed that everyone else was like me - when I try to remember visual images, or when I.

Possibly the most succinct explanation of what happened to Americans during the opioid crisis. Everyday people went to their doctor for help, and instead wound up in a Hell of Big Pharma's making.

Every once in a while, I look at Bluesky to see what's going on there. Lately, there's been noise about why Harris lost the election. The consensus seems to be that it was racism. Doesn't matter that she didn't have substance. Doesn't matter that the Democratic power brokers.

Does anybody go look at BlueSky at all? It's enlightening, to say the least. It does make it clear that X isn't the only social media with some seriously deranged posters. But hey, I could be lying. Go look for yourselves, see what you think.

Read this story and then tell me if he deserves the Medal of Honor or not. I say he does. Furthermore, I say he would've received it already if he wasn't Black. It's time for this hero to be recognized for his courage.

Donald J Trump is president once again. Now it's time for him to follow through on his promises. 1. Deportation of violent criminal aliens. 2. After that, pause before you try to deport the illegals who are here to make a better life for themselves. We need those people. 3.

I've come to the conclusion that Donald J. Trump lies in bed at night, thinking up things to say that will absolutely piss off his opposition. Case in point - changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Can he do it? Yes, he can push to have the feds rename it. Will he? No idea.

Jimmy Carter died today at the age of 100. As someone who served in the military during his presidency, I can tell you that he was a bad president, and won't be remembered for that. What he will be remembered for is the work he put in afterwards to help people. He recognized.

Once again, someone got pissed at me calling him out, so he dropped a post whining about how he had really gotten me, then blocked me before I could set him straight. So, to @JeffersonBaile6 . I still call you out on your BS. Where's your proof you knew that Biden was senile in.

Just finished watching Red One at home. I didn't go to the theater on this one b/c the critics were freaking savage - 30% rating. I shoulda known better. Once again, they gave short shrift to a movie that offended their artistic sensibilities by having no cultural significance,.

I know people love to run down Taylor Swift, but her generosity is unbelievable:. Paying out a total of $197 million in bonuses is beyond generous, especially since that is on top of whatever they were paid in salary. I'm betting she will never have.

Today, Daniel Penny was found to be not guilty in the death of Jordan Neely. Three things should be immediately clear:. 1. This is a vindication of his actions in trying to protect others around him. It was evident that Nelly's actions induced fear in the other riders. 2. This.

I just watched as the Archbishop of Paris knocked on the doors of Notre Dame Cathedral, and they opened to that magnificent pope organ sounding out once again as a choir raised their voices in thanks. Notre Dame is once again whole and open to the public.
