I bet I’ll know where that puff comes from.
I love when strangers tell me here that they've lost respect for me because of this or that thing I've said. To hear I've lost what I never knew I had and never sought from someone is not a loss at all. It's a puff of wind.

When your friend sends you a bunch of funny stuff, don’t fake watch it by adding a laughing emoji on each one. And if you’ve already seen a video, just say you’ve already seen it. Don’t add a laughing emoji.

I say the same thing when I get a question like this: Greek kids don’t have this experience because everything their mothers cook is delicious.
Be honest because I’m proving a point When you were a child if you didn’t want to eat what your mother made for dinner What happened?

Me: A stealth fighter was shot down over Kosovo in 1999. Troll: KOSOVO DOESN'T EXIST, YOU LIAR. Me: Points out Kosovo absolutely does and did exist and has for a long time. TROLL: You're triggered. What a terrible place this is. hahaha

Three weeks of war, they may or may not have finally gotten a lucky shot on a plane — and not even brought it down. People are out of their minds. America lost, lost, a stealth fighter over Kosovo in the ‘90s. Literally, nobody said it was the end of America and the war was lost.
It wasn’t Russian air defenses It wasn’t Chinese air defenses It wasn’t American air defenses It was a fully domestically built Iranian air defense system that tracked & hit the “stealth” F-35. Built by Iranian engineers during MAXIMUM sanctions. Necessity is the mother of

Only people with this condescending, racist, Noble savage mentality that should’ve died out with Rudyard Kipling think the terrorist or some magic people who respawn like a video game. How many new generations of Nazis did America create by crushing the Third Reich when they
“We are manufacturing a whole new generation of terrorists in the Middle East,” former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel tells me, saying the Trump administration's conduct of its war in Iran appears to him unprecedented.

Greeks do not play.
A Muslim tries to interrupt a Greek Orthodox liturgy in Greece, like they do in the rest of Europe, but it's not working in Greece. If you don't respect us you are going to have a problem. Get out of my country, filthy barbarians. https://t.co/zR4sfTPqXi

X refuses to crawl the correction on her name, written phonetically so I was sure to pronounce it to rhyme with "Chevy." Visit https://t.co/eq3rf1DABk for more.

The hot dogs are a "loss leader" for Costco to get people in. They make other accommodations, such as switching the soft drink provider some years ago, to control prices. Plus they get free publicity from people talking about it. Small, mom-and-pop pizzarias, for example, are
🚨 COSTCO CEO JUST ATE HIS OWN PRODUCT ON CAMERA — THEN SAID SOMETHING NOBODY EXPECTED Costco’s CEO Ron Vachris just sat down and did the “CEO eats his own product” test… and went straight for the $1.50 hot dog combo. Then he says it: the price isn’t changing. No increase. No

I very much enjoy @WarFrontsWeekly posts, and they're cranking out a ton of content. Just a small point of order: The supreme dictators of Iran are not "elected," at least not by the people. The dictator chooses a "counsel of experts" and they choose the supreme dictator. It's an

No, it didn’t. Iran also didn’t sink the USS Lincoln, despite that they keep saying they have. I only wish John Wilkes Booth had been this bad at taking out Lincoln.

Three weeks and Iran maybe sorta kinda touched the one plane (but perhaps not) so it’s game over!
Irani hitting an American F-35 fighter jet changes the entire game. It is over for America. Starting today Iran can now successfully down American jets in its airspace. Thank you China. Thank you Russia. And thank you Iran. You have done what no other country has been able to

He hasn’t even gotten his business cards yet — or the key to the executive stick over a hole in the ground.

Ah, every antisemite’s favorite Russian Orthodox nun who found no fit in the Greek Orthodox Church, where her father is a priest, because we don’t truck in lunatics who hate. It was a relatively amicable settlement though with the Greeks. We even let her keep the mustache.
Met with some amazing Palestinian’s this morning. Our work has just begun. Let us continue to pray for a free Palestine and free America from Christian Zionism. 🇵🇸🇺🇸

They're having the hell bombed out of them but I'm sure a gently worded letter will convince them to stop.

It's not your war, right? You're not involved. You said it. So sit there, eat your baguette, and wait for the big boys to do the heavy lifting while you collaborate with the fascists.
It is time to open a path towards de-escalation in order to restore stability in the Middle East. France calls for the immediate implementation of a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, whether related to water or to energy. Freedom and security
