Horrified by the terrorist attack in Australia targeting Jewish people celebrating the first night of Hanukkah.

Antisemitism has no place in this world.

As so many light their candles tonight, we’ll come together to pray for a future where the light will triumph over darkness.

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

A true hero.

Reminder Trump is literally America's Hitler
Yup, and he also was not intent on committing a genocide to rival the likes of Hitler or Stalin, which is more than can be said for the guys running DHS right now.
William Buckley said that black people were incapable of self-governance and for the next sixty years, conservatives treated any accusation of racial prejudice with (feigned) incredulity

"House Democrats on Thursday voted to return Rep. Henry Cuellar to his leadership role on the House Appropriations Committee following his presidential pardon on federal corruption charges."

During the Biden administration, I met with a senior DoD official who told me that the USG didn't have much leverage over Israel because Israel could readily substitute US-supplied arms and materiel.

I knew what they were saying was false.

And they knew that I knew what they were saying was false.
How does that work? Well, look no further. Here, I explain why Israel CANNOT fill the gap left by a US withdrawal. Indeed, we provide irreplaceable capabilities that allow Israel to carry out its war without consequence.

Without the US military, the war ends.

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

Weird how the woman who supports the boat killings that are supposed to all be on drug traffickers felt the need to tell the US not to murder her crew. Was she traveling on a drug-trafficking vessel?
When the winner of the Nobel peace prize smuggled herself over the water and out of Venezuela to attend the ceremony in Oslo this week, her allies called the Pentagon to ask them not to arbitrarily murder her. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

If Merz has been clear the US under Trump wants regime change in Europe why did he come to the Oval Office to kiss Trump's ass and say what a wonderful president he was?
Good to finally have it in writing that this US government wants regime change in Europe. (Friedrich Merz, grant him this, has been clear about this since he came into office.)
Now: Will this spur the Europeans to act?
There are already comments by incurable transatlanticists sanewashing this crap.
What struck me most on Europe wasn’t the focus on value, freedom of speech etc - again, very similar to Vance’s Munich speech - but how activist it is. This is about directly trying to influence what is going on in Europe:

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

I really think anyone who did this kind of thing, including Obama, should have no place in the Democratic Party going forward.
He lowered Pennsylvania’s flags for 3 days when Charlie Kirk died and for 0 days when Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed.
Josh Shapiro believes he is uniquely suited to win over Trump voters—but he’ll need to overcome distrust among some in his own party first, Tim Alberta reports: theatln.tc/mR9AHSG4
