Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Remember this the next time your local police force is begging for more money.

The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed.

Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”?

In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.

I think the downtown lanes could be a lot safer. If they aren't safe they will only be used by a fraction of potentials. Currently they work for some but not all.

I think a lot of folks are forgetting how the US slow walked Ukraine arms for two years while they tried to bleed Russia dry.
Could have ended it but chose to try and use Ukraine to end Putin.

This is what we will have to do to stop this regime! A general strike that closes down the economy, transportation, education and only allows for essential services such as hospitals, fire and police. Please read!

How Do We Make a General Strike Happen in the US?

Historically, a general strike represents the most powerful tool available to the working class.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

If you see tattoos on any “supposed” or alleged masked ICE agent, log it and call the police. Especially if they are sitting outside of grammar schools heavily armed. There are now masked men attacking citizens for taking photos on public streets in Chicago. www.adl.org/sites/defaul...

You need to ask yourself why would American politicians from both sides of the isle be ok with this. Then you need to vote them out and make what made them rich actually illegal.

“You cannot understand [Israeli opinion on the war] without understanding the kind of blindness that the Israeli media promotes.”

While global news showed a humanitarian disaster, most outlets in Israel remained silent.

The rest of the world uses KG whether you care to acknowledge that or not. I guarantee you that aircraft are set up using metric and not whatever the hell they try to teach you folks in school.

Will they even bother with a false flag? I think they will just go back in.
