Those who study history are doomed to watch others repeat it. (Side Note: I am the type of person who has a FAVORITE Gentileschi "Judith Beheading Holofernes" painting, Make of that what you will)

Don't DEMAND a private chatlink with me; I'll block you. Especially if you try to make my husband's computer security worries sound like insecure jealousy.

A Russian train destroyed by Ukrainian drones on 19 August is still blocking occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast’s only rail line.

Militarnyi says logistics are now rerouted via road, complicating Russian supply efforts beyond Tokmak.

Two months later, Russia still can’t clear a single destroyed train in occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast

A Ukrainian drone strike on 19 August left a fuel convoy wrecked — and the only railway in ruins.

To a *certain extent* it has always been this way, but Trump has allowed it all to *take charge*.

Nobody should be operating under any illusions, if they told you they were doing it for the freedom of Palestine and the starving kids.

It was all a lie!!!

For their hatred of Jews to flourish, it demanded the dead bodies of Palestinians.
Congrats, you helped them.

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

The second the IDF withdraws one inch as part of the hostage deal, Hamas re-emerges like rats from the sewers to execute, terrorize and brutalize their own people, promise to never relinquish power, and chant for the massacre of Jews.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

I've heard their rationalization. They're only fooling those who want to be fooled.
