So why did you kill their leaders?

Has Iran EVER for once thought about assassinating any American leader?
You know what I mean.
The regime is full of religious zealots whose only purpose in life is to die for Allah.
Fighting the same war with both sides have a complete opposite desire of the outcome.
If you don't kill them they continue getting stronger , as happened with that ridiculous JPCOA deal.

Someone needs to tell Trump that the Islamic Republic of Iran would gladly have a nuclear explosion wipe out Tehran if they managed to kill him first.
Their mindset is not that of a winner who lives to see another day. They seek to attain heavenly gifts , while demonstrating that their god is the mightiest. That is all they live for , not about global economy or such trash.
While Trump is preoccupied with a legacy, having his name ,statues and photos all over America , these Ayatollahs are only concerned about getting 72 virgins and inspiring more martyrs to die for Allah.
Trump is calling them insane, they are not . They know exactly what they are doing, what to achieve and how to go about it. They are fighting the holy war , the jihad mandated by Allah.
If you beat them into submission or bribe them , they will lie low and rebuild again to continue the fight. If you kill them they inspire millions of otters to fight more aggressively.

I want to agree that the shooting shouldn't have happened.
Was the guy entirely blameless. . ICE is arresting over 2000 people a day ,they all know they shouldn't shoot.
If the witnesses are passengers why should I fully take their word.
In a movie a fast speeding car tyres are shot out by the hero. In real life it's different.

Turns out he wasn’t even their intended target. They didn’t think to mention that early on until evidence from elsewhere showed they were lying. If n evidence surfaced, they would’ve kept lying through their rotten teeth!

What astounds me is black and brown people who support them thinking they’re somehow exempt. I pray what they support doesn’t find itself in their own reality.

Of course then they’ll expect sympathy and community from liberals.

DSA are full blown communists using socialism as a polite term. I have posted their most recent charter where they call for abolition of the Senate, presidency , congress .
Basically they want the American system torn down. Like Karl Marx who proposed to tear down the systems and never offered the alternative, the DSA are just tear down the system.

Former Metro Police officer Michael Fanone was criminally referred to the DOJ on seven counts over January 6th, for allegedly lying to Congress and other charges, and is being sued for $10 million for defamation.
#dc
The criminal referral against Fanone was submitted by Ivan Raiklin to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and DC Attorney General Jeanine Pirro. The document cites:

🔷️False statements to Congress,

🔷️Obstruction of official proceedings on Capitol grounds,

🔷️Assaulting and impeding certain officers and employees, and

🔷️Unlawful activities on Capitol grounds.

During the hearing, Fanone testified that he

🔺️ “had been beaten unconscious and remained so for more than four minutes.”

🔺️He added that doctors told him he suffered a heart attack and later diagnosed him with a concussion, traumatic brain injury, and PTSD.

🔺️However, Bodycam footage from that day shows that Fanone was conscious and talking almost immediately after being pulled from the crowd.

🔺️EMT body cam footage shows emergency responders did not find any serious injuries, and Fanone was heard saying he was fine, then started joking with a colleague about the protesters.

🔺️Critics say Fanone's overly emotional congressional testimony, and alleged exaggeration were constructed to fuel his media appearances, and book deals.

The point out the discrepancies between his sworn statements on injuries and consciousness versus bodycam evidence.

The referral represents an attempt to force authorities to investigate his statements under the same legal standards applied to others.


Bayelsaowei. The police officer created a fake story to show he was beaten up.
I'm 100% sure he is not the only one it must be all of them.

I mentioned Michael Fanone. The cop who testified how he was brutally assaulted by maga-mafians.
They had refused to release to release his bodycam footage.
Here it is.

It appears he lied about the extent of the attack.

I love how the Democrats are feeding on themselves. The sooner they distance themselves from the DSA the better. The DSA has over 60% college graduate membership,the left infiltration of academia is paying fruits

DEM PRIMARY CHALLENGER: DISBAND ICE, END MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL, MEDICARE FOR ALL
Kai Newkirk is a self-described democratic socialist trying to unseat four-term Rep. Greg Stanton in Arizona's 4th District Democratic primary on July 21 — and he's not hiding what he's running on.
“If you believe that we need to send bold, progressive leaders to Congress who are going to fight to end ICE, to end the genocide in Gaza, for Medicare for all... then I need your help,” Newkirk says in his own campaign video.
His platform also calls for tuition-free public college, and his campaign says it refuses money from corporate PACs, AIPAC, and billionaire-funded super PACs. Our Revolution — the Bernie Sanders-aligned group — is mobilizing its roughly 20,000 district members behind him.
Newkirk's campaign claims internal polling shows the race within 2 points with a third of voters undecided; Stanton's camp says its own numbers show a 2-1 lead. Either way, a sitting Democrat is now defending his seat from the left on ending ICE and cutting off Israel.This is what the Democratic base is actually voting on in 2026.



Feel the Bernie. Conservatives should keep calling them Communists, the label will likely stick forever.

I can never blame black women for the sins of the brothers.

We've been syaing it here for a long time that blacks in America should look inwards and stop blaming others. The problems faced by the black community are mostly self inflicted. Blacks are their own worst enemies.

I've harped on Caitlin Clark because she is a star, filled venues .Instead of the players appreciating her magnetism drawing crowds and bigger TV audiences,they are rough on her.

A few days ago ,I pointed out to sports stars who shone ,drew larger audiences and packed stadiums. Led to higher player salaries and contracts. Players like MJ, Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton, Mike Tyson , etc
Caitlin Clark grew TV audiences and interest ,instead of fellow players appreciating their newly found fame they are killing the golden goose.
So the blacks in WNBA are screwing themselves up by driving away a significant target audience .
Then they'll cry they want to be paid the same as NBA stars..Audiences bring in big money.

cococandy:
I’m saying there are way more black women going through worse and you don’t seem to be as concerned



And now we can see why?

Black men like you are more interested in protecting white women than protecting black women. This “statistic” adds to my argument.

It’s an indictment on the mindset of black men like you. More obsessed and concerned about that safety of white women than the women in your own community.

The other day you saw a video of pregnant black woman being attacked and assumed she must have deserved it somehow.

Now you’re posting a statistic to prove to me that the perpetrators of violence against black women are overwhelmingly black men. Of course you’re right. You’re one of them.

Those who keep quiet in the face of such acts or try to blame black women for the crimes committed against them are all part of the violence against us.

Given how much you obviously hate the black women in your community, I don’t know why you think you’re exempt from that statistic.
The rivalry between Magic Jordan and Larry Bird is credited with saving the NBA. Caitlin Clark and Angela Reece , was hoped their rivalry would grow the WNBA.

From a sports perspective a lot of black people have excelled , Ditto white people.
WNBA are especially mean to her , given that 19% of the players are white.
It's petty jealousy when they are outshone by a white girl. It's a disgrace to the black community, because it's really not a race thing as such but a display of immaturity.

Anything to distract the whole world, the US and his sheeples from the fact that he is in the Epstein files as a pdf.

Trump would chase this matter knowing he has no chance of upturning the constitution, than focus on telling his personal law firm (the DOJ) to unredact the remaining Epstein files.

Which is harder? Demolition of the 14th amendment or instructing the DOJ to release the redacted Epstein files?

His worshippers would say the latter is..
What exactly has not been released, you probably have a good idea and who is affected?

I saw this one on FB and I liked the reasoning.

"If you ever want to get into business with somebody you don’t really know so well, and you’re about to invest your money or spend a long time working together, there’s one vital hack you should apply.

Ask the person, especially if it’s a guy, who his favourite footballer is. If he says Ronaldo, you might still want to do business with him. If he says Ronaldo is his GOAT, that’s also fine. But here’s the critical question.

Ask him, between Ronaldo and Messi, who is the better footballer? This is regardless of statistics, accolades, or trophies. Just ask him who the better footballer is.

If he says, matter-of-factly, that Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi, pick up your shoes and run. Don’t do business with that kind of person.

Because I promise you, he’s not ly!ng. But one thing he knows how to do is alter reality to fit his own thinking, his own mentality, and his own belief system. He can take what is true and twist it into his own truth.

Which means it doesn’t matter what’s written on the dotted line. When someone can genuinely believe that, they can change anything and still believe it from the depth of their soul.

So, if someone tells you Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi, he isn’t ly!ng. He actually believes it, regardless of the evidence before him.

He’s trained his brain to reject what his eyes have seen as the truth. He lacks the ability to separate fiction from reality, compare and contrast objectively, and think outside the box.

You’re basically dealing with a p&ych0. So, thank me later… and cut me a cheque..."

- Popular comedian Bovi has stirred reactions online after advising people not to do business with anyone who believes Cristiano Ronaldo is a better footballer than Lionel Messi.

For those of who think Palestinians want to coexist with Israel ,chomp at this

BILL CLINTON: PALESTINIANS REJECTED A STATE WITH ALL OF GAZA AND 97 PERCENT OF THE WEST BANKA
Resurfaced clip catches former President Bill Clinton making a point Democrats don't like repeating
The Palestinians already turned down statehood, on Israel's terms.
Clinton, recalling the failed 2000 Camp David negotiations said
"I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza... between 96 and 97 percent of the West Bank, compensating land in Israel, you name it." Yasser Arafat walked away with no counteroffer.

Clinton didn't stop at the history lesson. Asked about Hamas embedding itself among civilians, he described the tactic without euphemism: "When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in the highly populous areas... they try to put the Israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocents. They're good at it. They're smart.". That's not a Republican talking point. That's a Democratic president describing human shields as strategy — a quarter-century before October 7th made the same tactic front-page news again.

They didn't want a state. They wanted the war.

Crazy judge.


basilico:
Complying with an EO DHS created a tool of eligible voters per state. States are required to crosscheck their voter rolls with the tool and purge the ineligible voters.
A.foreigm born Biden judge in DC blocked the move nationwide and ordered DHS to shut down the database.
A Florida judge has reordered the DHS to reopen the database because there are states who want to use this tool.

Judge Sooknanan’s Reasons for Blocking the Database (D.C. District)
In her 75-page summary judgment, Judge Sooknanan ruled that the Trump administration's 2025 overhaul of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database was illegal based on the following findings:
1. Statutory Violations:
The modifications violated the Social Security Act's restrictions on sharing Social Security numbers, multiple provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
2.Unlawful Data Centralization:
The administration "haphazardly combined and repurposed" highly sensitive personal data across federal agencies into a centralized master database without statutory authorization.Inaccurate Data and Disenfranchisement: The database utilized citizenship data the government knew to be unreliable for voter registration purposes. For example, the system repeatedly flagged legally naturalized U.S. citizens as non-citizens.
3. Threat to Voting Rights:
Judge Sooknanan noted that states (such as Texas, which flagged over 2,700 eligible voters) were actively using this faulty tool to disenfranchise voters, writing that the government had "knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote."

Following Judge Sooknanan's block, DHS disabled the database features. However, Judge T. Kent Wetherell II quickly countermanded this for select states by ruling that DHS must restore access to the database's bulk-upload and Social Security search capabilities.
:Enforcing a Legal Settlement: Judge Wetherell's decision was rooted in a pre-existing court-approved settlement agreement stemming from a lawsuit Florida filed against the federal government. He ruled that DHS breached this contract by pulling the plug on the states' access.

Explicit Disagreement on Merits: Wetherell explicitly stated that his court was not bound by the D.C. ruling and openly disagreed with Sooknanan’s conclusions, finding that the database's upgraded features did not violate federal law.
2.State Autonomy over Voter Rolls: His ruling prioritized a state's right to "modernize and check" the citizenship of its voter rolls using federal data, viewing the tool as a lawful means for states to prevent voter fraud rather than a violation of privacy.

This is a pure case of judicial activism, writing long judgement that SCOTUS will eventually overrule. By then the midterm elections will have been over. A district judge should not have national jurisdiction powers , it has already been ruled but they flout it all the time.

I doubt they're ever met on a one to one basis.
.

Simple question:
Do you think a man inserting his finger into a woman's vajayjay without her consent is rape?
