This started yesterday -- four Israeli soldiers were killed when an anti-tank rocket struck their tank.
The entire crew was killed.
Hours later 5 more IDF soldiers were wounded in another attack.
This was always going to be the result. Israel has the right to strike back under international law and no MOU that is not signed by Israel changes that.
The MOU is -- and always has been -- meaningless.
The $300 billion is coming from the Gulf States, and it is at its core a bribe to get the Iranians to quit shooting missiles at their infrastructure.
These countries rely on desalination plants for drinking water.
There aren't enough palettes of bottled water on the planet to replace these plants if the Iranians take them out.
This is not complicated. When the Iranians opted to shoot missiles at their Gulf neighbors -- showing a very advanced ability to hit what they were aiming at with Chinese satellite assistance -- the Gulf states had to send up a white flag once the stockpile of US interceptors dwindled.
Combined with pressure on the world economies from the bottled-up Strait -- that was it. Trump was out of options unless he was going to simply kill tens of thousands of Iranians by going full- scale kinetic.
But the Gulf Allies would have paid the price.
Canada’s exit tax is insane—it treats all your assets (investments, real estate, businesses) as if they were all sold and you had to pay the tax on the profits.
If you can’t leave a place, without them taking everything you own—it’s not a free country.
RE: The Reflecting Pool
Let's review a few undeniable, irrefutable facts about this subject:
1. The Reflecting Pool on the National Mall has been a leaking, algae-overgrown mess for years.
2. Having a national monument in such disrepair reflects poorly on our nation.
3. President Trump saw these problems and decided America deserved better for our 250th Birthday, and has been trying to resolve those problems in time for July 4th.
4. Democrats everywhere want the repair efforts to fail.
*******************
These are FACTS people, not my opinion.
FACTS.
So what logical conclusion do all these facts lead to?
Simple.
***Democrats would rather see the United States of America fail than see President Donald J. Trump succeed.***
Democrats are not patriots. They do not care about our nation or our national pride.
They only care about power, and to achieve power they would destroy our nation if that was what they deemed necessary.
It's basically the same ethos that caused them to burn down our cities in 2020 rather than see Trump win a second term.
I really do not see how it is possible to coexist with these people unless they change.
Jesus never actually condemned slavery as a sin, despite it being even more omnipresent in his day than antebellum America. The Old Testament, much like the Constitution, approved of slavery within certain bounds
To call it America’s “original sin” is just a heresy
This post is evergreen and legendary. People work hard to live in affluent suburbs and send their kids to private schools to insulate their families from the bottom quintile as much as humanly possible.
The Supreme Court has checks and balances on its power, just like Congress and the Executive branch. One of them is appointment by the President and confirmation by the Senate. The other is that they decide the issues that are brought to them. They don't just go out and start making things happen. Coincidentally, the only of the three branches that has somewhat constrained itself to its granted powers is the Supreme Court, drastically unlike Congress or the Executive.
Obama stiffing contractors who built his temple while hob nobbing with wealthy celebrities and fat cat politicians at its opening is as on the nose as a zit.
I love that we are back to giving the Medal of Honor to living recipients. Please appreciate Maj. James Capers, American hero and absolute unit, folks:
The Left: “Believe All Women!”
British Women: “250,000+ of us were systematically raped and tortured by mostly Pakistani men from the 1950s to now with help from our police, social workers, NHS staff and politicians.”
The Left: “Yea, not you.”
This is the LEAST true
In the Midwest 50% of all adult residents have never left their hometown, spending entire lives within the community where they grew up.
Over 70% of Midwesterners continue to live in the exact state where they were born.
These figures reflect strong multigenerational roots in the region (per Pew & US Census)
