12-yr USAF vet got fed up with US interventionism, lies and kakistocratic government corruption. Left USA in 2011. Been loving life in South America ever since.
MIKE JOHNSON: “If we lose the midterms, the Dems will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends.”
This is actually the best case I’ve heard for voting Democrat.
@baroncoleman Furthermore, the prosecution has all this info plus much more. How can they possibly proceed with the case when it is so horribly flawed? Are the prosecutors part of the cabal as well? Couldn't this be considered as prosecutorial misconduct?
@baroncoleman Baron - I understand your point about why the defense might want to keep this info quiet pre-trial so that TR could be easily acquitted on murder charges. But he's still wide open to being charged as an accessory even if acquitted for murder, correct?
On June 5th Israel attacked the home of world famous Lebanese sea turtle conservationist Mona Khalil. Mona was hospitalized with burns and injuries to over 70% of her body.
Yesterday, June 19th, Mona died from her injuries.
This wasn’t an accident. They didn’t make a mistake. Mona’s home was also where she ran her sea turtle conservatory- which she aptly named the Orange House Project- because, after all, her house was painted top to bottom in a deep, bright orange, the color of a late summer sunset.
The Orange House Project has been in operation for almost 30 years. You can find it on Facebook and Google Maps, along with dozens of reviews from visitors over the years.
So no, it wasn’t an accident or a mistake. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it bombed the Orange House Project on June 5th.
It’s exactly what they’ve been doing since the war with Iran started: ethnically cleansing all of Southern Lebanon so they can steal the land and occupy it for themselves.
When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.
The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.
Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.
Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.
In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
A gaudy performance.
A caricature masquerading as leadership.
A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.
And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....
I almost feel sorry for the Trump officials and media allies who have to claim that this disastrous war of aggression somehow produced a deal meaningfully better than the JCPOA.
Fortunately for them, there is still a rump of MAGA influencers willing to repeat anything:
The next time the US Government starts a war by pretending it's doing so because of how outraged it is by the repression and tyranny in the country to be attacked -- and that the new war that's being sold is about freeing the oppressed peoples of that country with benevolent regime change that will liberate everyone -- can we all at least realize that this is always total bullshit?
The US does fight wars to free people or end repression or vanquish despotism. That's just the laughably deceitful propagandistic pretense to get people to feel good and noble about yet another American war and to give the Sean Hannitys and Jake Tappers something to say. How many examples do we need to see before this is commonly understood?
ATTENTION: THERE IS NO 'DEAL' TO BE SIGNED.
Regarding Iran, on the table now is a mere Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - not a final accord or treaty. Rather, it's only an acknowledgement of a future process to take place over the next 18 months. The real problem: the word "Deal" used in a diplomatic context is an invention of the Trump regime, it's intententionally devoid of diplomatic context or historical precedent. The Media need to really be slapped for continuing to use this silly & deceptive term. REALITY: Iran's & Trump's competing MOU terms are a literal minefield stretching into the future, that's to say nothing about Israel's numerous announcements about how they will sabotage any ceasefire (which they already have in Lebanon as we speak). The reason Trump keeps using "Deal" is because he is incapable of conducting any real negotiations or accepting any Iranian terms (Iran is the obvious winner & normally winner issues terms with loser, not 'even negotiation' as the clueless sophmoric VP JD Vance said yesterday 🤦), and is disingenuously trying to separate Israel from the wider equation - when we all know it is Israel who initiated this war to begin with. Trump's framing of these endless ephemeral "Deals" is by design - to fool the public and guarantee that any meaningful negotiations fail - which is why he has a string of perennial failures: unwilling/unable to resolve Russia-Ukraine, Gaza, and now Iran. In fact, he's made all of them worse at every stage. A total failure on every level.
Trump is one of history's losers. Nothing can change that now because as the world can now see, he's too incompetent, as are the many idiot savants & grifters around him masquerading as a Cabinet.
Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.
No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.
Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.
They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.
Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.
Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.
Own it.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Expert Ellen Kountz exposes Trump's massive UFC scam. She confirms he became a shareholder right before signing the White House event deal!
The administration is using federal property and taxpayer dollars to completely privatize profits. Total corruption!
“Never Forget: Both Democrats and Republicans have allowed the @IDF to .commit war crimes against the United States with impunity during its attack on our ship, the #USSLiberty.”
God bless @RepThomasMassie for being the first member of Congress ever to honestly honor them.
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
This is a clip that is so on point it may be very uncomfortable for some to watch. However, the Chinese man featured in the clip is saying out loud what I have written about at length and many academics have articulated.
You’ll have to excuse the captions which struggles with his Chinese accent, but that doesn’t detract from the message.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
