All those involved in #lawfare against @realDonaldTrump, including media types, should be charged under RICO as organized criminals against #Trump
Their actions are as contemptible as the worst committed by the 5 NY families or any other criminal enterprise throughout the nation

@ThatEricAlper Pinks Hot Dogs in LA feature multiple selections with 2 dogs on a bun. They also have dogs and Polish sausage wrapped in tortillas. Pinks is an LA institution started in 1939, often with a long line that moves quick.
@shadihamid@washingtonpost My friend, it sounds like you are in the wrong country. Square pegs do not fit into round holes, especially if they refuse to shave their edges.
PS - half my family is from the Middle East originality, and I have visited there. So you can call mine a voice of experience.
RE: Islamic Culture in the Middle East and Central Asia
I sense that too many Americans do not understand the public face-saving that is integral to Islamic culture in the Middle East and Central Asia.
I recall numerous times I dealt with government or military officials in the region where they let me know that what was being said publicly was in no way related to what was actually going on. A leader or politician in these countries will never, ever publicly say the truth if the truth suggests weakness or vulnerability. Never. It just does not happen. They will lie publicly with outrageous bombast, knowing full well that what they are saying is untrue, because their culture demands it.
Additionally, they respect the strongman. The strongman who speaks with ferocity and then backs it up with deeds is always respected (or feared, depending on the situation).
These are vital concepts to understand when analyzing the public pronouncements of the Iranian regime and the Truth Social declarations of President Trump. The Iranians must save face no matter what. Literally none of their public pronouncements can be trusted as being accurate or truthful. At the same time, when Trump posts things like โending a civilization,โ he is NOT TALKING TO YOU. He is talking to the mullahs in the only language they understand. In fact, as the Democrat/Media Complex derides Trump as an idiot for such pronouncements, HE is the one who is culturally attuned in a very profound way that totally flies over the heads of his critics.
These are vital concepts that must be understood to accurately interpret the very public exchange of declarations between Trump and the mullahs.
With Shohei Ohtani getting on base and throwing six scoreless innings today, MLBโs longest active on-base streak is now up to 43 games.
MLBโs longest active scoreless innings streak among starting pitchers, is now 28.2 innings pitch.
Shohei Ohtani is the leader of both categories.
