The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.

Zionists call anyone who opposes Israel's genocide, antisemitic. They are undermining every hardwon right, even ones in the 🇺🇸 Constitution & 🇨🇦 Charter of Rights & Freedoms.

Rule of thumb:

Good people oppose genocide. Bad people support it. Zionists are bad people.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

As a veteran, I concur.

Military commanders & troops have no obligation to obey illegal orders. Doing so makes them complicit.

So I read that this attack on Venezuela and the murders of people in small boats is about cocaine now (because they aren't trafficking fentanyl, duh.)

How many cocaine deaths were there in the U.S. last year? It's important since they're using a fatuous "self-defense" rationale for doing this.
