Iran has killed around 1500 Americans and over 3000 Israelis in the last 47 years.
How many should they have killed before it's declared that Iran is at war with America or Israel? Suggest a figure.

Flashback. In 2014 SPLC declared Dr Ben Carson as an extremist.


Though the statement goes on to laud Dr. Carson’s contribution “to medicine, his philanthropic work,” and his “personal story,” they still “believe his views should be closely examined.” SPLC insists, “Dr. Carson has, in fact, made a number of statements that express views that we believe most people would conclude are extreme.”

SPLC lists a number of Carson quotes they charge are extremist, including his comparison of Obamacare to slavery, and that we now “live in a society where people are afraid to say what they believe.

Posting pictures because it seems you have a hard time with reading and comprehension

The group of people who did things like in the 1st picture were protesting in Charlottsville (2nd picture).
SPLC paid informants so if something like the 1st picture were planned to happen by the group in the 2nd picture, they would be aware and prevent it from happening again.

I know this isn't a coloring book. But, I hope you could make out the words.
The one paid by SPLC was the organizer of transports for those thugs in white.
The real protest was by others about demolishing civil wR monuments.
This group joined in without invitation to stain the real protestors.
Then another democrat group blm and antifa counter protesters demonstrated against this group leading to altercations and death.

🚨🚨 Here it is: EXPLOSIVE WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY.

Not only did China interfere in the 2020 election by unleashing COVID, but it also carried out the single largest ballot fraud operation in U.S. history. And not only did CIA Director Gina Haspel bribe her own analysts to change their story about the origins of “Xi-Jinping-19,” she also covered up the CCP’s ballot-fraud operation.

In June 2020, an uptick in Chinese activity was identified. I understand the intelligence streams indicated the Chinese influence campaign had already begun.
As one government contact put it: “If the IC (intelligence community) was suppressing China intelligence in 2020, what else was it suppressing?”

@C__Herridge: “Multiple sources tell me that a credible whistleblower complaint was filed alleging the CIA, FBI, and other IC agencies suppressed intelligence about China’s influence operations during the 2020 election targeting President Trump and his campaign.”

Sidney Powell VINDICATED AGAIN.
@SidneyPowell1: “If we could even get the last 100,000 ballots run in Georgia, for example, we could show, by instant mechanical analysis, the difference in the ballots and the ink. We know that there were hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots imported into the country by China. We have video of them coming across the border from Mexico.

Additionally, ballots were shipped from New York to Pennsylvania. Counterfeit ballots were stashed in certain states and shipped wherever they were needed to ‘backfill.’”

📝 In other words: now you know why @FBIDirectorKash and @DNIGabbard raided Georgia election offices.

This is the ruling that is shaking up democrats to the bone.

Right now (April 2026), the U.S. Supreme Court is dealing with a major case called Louisiana v. Callais that links race and redistricting.

The justices are deciding if Louisiana's new congressional map—which includes a second majority-Black district—is legal or if it is unconstitutional "race-based gerrymandering".


If SCOTUS rules it unconstitutional then those black and Hispanic enclaves democrats have created over the years will have to be nullified.
Effectively the democrats could lose upto 14 seats in the House.

The other laws about independent boundary commissions can proceed without any problem.

bayelsaowei:
Don’t mind The coco—//yám head people. Very mischievous lots.

Many persons screamed at DJT and Abbott to desist from gerrymandering the Texas map. It went all the way to the Supreme Court and that map was approved.

And now they have the effrontery to whine alongside their god (Trump).

They never ever want to do the right thing.

Trump knew all along that his policies and bad character was gonna cost him the mid terms and so in advance had deviced a strategy to give him and his blood thirsty gang a fighting chance.

Good. The ones that have 1-3 republican seats still have way too many. They need to make sure republicans have zero seats whenever possible.

For years republicans have refused to vote to end gerrymandering. They’ve always relied on the fact that democrats will take the high road.

Even as this is happening, democrats are still putting it up to a vote in their states because they value the rights of republicans who live among them. Republican states usually go ahead and redraw their map regardless of how democrats who live there feel about it.

Fvkc them. And fvck all their voters.
I also want the same. Let every state maximize their number of seats. Republicans playing nice like in Indiana are just Stoopid.

Incidentally Obama has been accused of trying to destroy America from within so this plays quite well with him. The critics called him a Manchurian candidate.
This gerrymandering competition to totally block your opponent is a sure way to destroy America, probably lead to a civil war.

Liberal father kidnaps son, takes him to Cuba where he can get mutilated to be a she .

FBI Deploys Government Plane to Cuba to Rescue 10-Year-Old Child from Trans Parent Trying to Take Him for Transition Surgery

In a rare and decisive operation, the FBI sent a U.S. government aircraft all the way to Havana, Cuba, to bring a 10-year-old boy back home safely to his biological mother in Utah.

The child’s biological father — who now identifies as a woman named Rose Inessa-Ethington (formerly Eri Ethington) — and his partner Blue Inessa-Ethington allegedly lied to the mother about taking the boy on a simple camping trip to Canada. Instead, they crossed into Mexico, flew to Cuba, and carried $10,000 in cash. Family members and the FBI feared the child was being taken for gender reassignment surgery before puberty.

Thankfully, Cuban authorities helped locate the pair. A Utah court had already granted the biological mother exclusive custody and ordered the child’s immediate return. The FBI mission brought the boy home safely, and the two adults now face federal charges of international parental kidnapping.

Experts are calling the use of a government plane for this kind of parental abduction case highly unusual — something they say they’ve rarely, if ever, seen before.

This is what real protection of children looks like. No more turning a blind eye to parents trying to permanently alter their kids behind the other parent’s back.

Good for the FBI and the Trump administration for stepping up and getting this child home where he belongs.



I'll never support liberals for such evil like this.
A judge yesterday blocked HHS from stopping Medicaid to states that provide mutilation to kids.
Liberals call it gender reassignment.

Letter released by Ratcliffe as head of DNI in 2020 shows Intelligence Community had info about Clinton plan to tie Putin to Trump.
Brennan specifically briefed Obama and top FBI officials.
FBI went ahead to ignore the intelligence and instead investigated Trump for Russia collusion. They used the Steele dossier to spy on the Trump campaign.

Obama knew, he let his pantsies create the hoax , then sat back as FBI, Mueller ,Ciaramela etc did their best to remove a sitting president.

In other words Obama is a Traitor. He can't be charged because he is black.

Stop playing semantics.The Unite the Right rally aftermath where a life was lost became a rallying call against the dangers of Nazis and white supremacists.
Millions of dollars poured into SPLC coffers to fight the racists. All the while SPLC had been paying a key planner who had organized transports and sat in planning meetings. IOW the SPLC was key party to organize the hoax it was.
A rally protesting destruction of civil war moments was infiltrated by SPLC, Benalvino3 has added the Lincoln Project also sent it's thugs. When Trump called a few fine people ,those innocently protesting the monument destruction,he was vilified. The whole group including those actors were lumped together. Media ran wall to wall coverage about his support for Nazis .




LordReed:
See how you spread misinformation. The very source YOU linked says:

Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

YOU now changed it to:

VIRGINIA

OK, I am trying to organize my thoughts about yesterday's vote in Virginia. Here is my analysis from my capturing of the election night reporting data.

There was an "f-curve" at 8:59pm that was actually preceded by a near f-curve at 8:43. These 2 updates wiped away what had been a decent lead for "no redistricting". Interestingly, at 9:16 there was another big jump for "yes".

From my analysis, most of the votes from all 3 of these came from Fairfax County, one of Virginia's most reliable vote manufacturing hubs.

My old pet peeve, totals going down rather than up, was way too frequent. 23 counties had at least one case of "negative votes", including Chesterfield's whopping 71,903 deduction at 10:45 this morning (April 22). Augusta had a 11,968 deduction at 10:18. A whopping 13 counties had deductions in the SAME REPORT at 7:41PM on the 21st (for a total of 18,476). This is not acceptable and needs explained. (Other than, "well these numbers aren't official". They are official enough to show on the news.)

And, of course, the referendum was ultimately lost because of mail-in votes. About 10% of the total was mail-in, and about 73% were "yes". We have no way of knowing how many of these were real people casting a vote for themselves, but they added net 137,000 votes for "yes" and that is almost 50,000 more than the currently reported winning margin for "yes". (The same applies for the election of Commissar Spanberger)

In summary, a completely preventable train wreck. I hope that the Republican leaders in Virginia are now convinced that mail-in ballots and machine counting are not our friends. I also hope they start asking the hard questions of counties like Chesterfield.

It's going to be easiest to read this, shrug, and move on. Please don't. Please forward on, especially if you know people in Virginia. But the same thing will happen in every other state, eventually, if its not stopped.

You can see the raw data for yesterday's election at https://votedatabase.com/2026 - select Virginia, unknown party, then statewide or whatever county you want to examine. I'm here if anyone has questions.

Democrats are ten times better than republicans when it comes to action. Mostly it's negative but they always go ahead. They are now saying they will target ICE in Minnesota and everywhere, they will pack the Supreme Court to 13 justices , grant Puerto Rico and DC statehood, implement mileage and carbon taxes , etc.
