This is a wild victory lap.
Step 1 - essentially legalize all drugs - overdose deaths skyrocket.
Step 2 - Criminalize illicit drugs again - overdose deaths drop by half.
Step 3 - take credit only for step 2.
Cannot make this up, either.
@nytimes opinion has had four recent pieces about fatherhood and masculinity, with six authors:
Three women
A trans "man"
Two childless men
Not one father. The cultural elite contempt for dads runs so deep we don't even get to speak for ourselves.
This is a disgrace.
A Gulf War Marine veteran named Albert O’Toole who served this country, took a blast that left him with TBI, and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was beaten by his aide Matthew Cox inside the New York State Veterans Home in Montrose, New York.
His wife Angela Sangro became concerned after seeing unexplained bruises and heavy sedation. She installed a hidden camera. The footage shows the aide yanking food out of Albert’s hands, grabbing him by the neck, throwing him into a chair, punching him, and striking him in the head with a broom while he cried out in pain. No one came to help.
The state fired the abuser.
But the federal VA? Still has him employed. Still paying him while the case drags on.
You make veterans fight through hell just to get the benefits and compensation they earned with their blood and sacrifice. You move fast to cut or reduce what’s owed to them.
But when one of your own is caught on camera assaulting a defenseless veteran? You keep him on the federal payroll like it’s nothing.
@SecVetAffairs you talk about accountability. Here it is. Fire this man from the VA now. No pay. No protection. No more dragging it out.
@SecWar our warriors come home broken from fighting for this nation. They deserve better than a system that protects abusers while making veterans fight for every dollar they earned.
@SpeakerJohnson this is on you too. Oversight without teeth is just theater. Do your job.
This isn’t how you treat the men and women who served. This is a betrayal.
Veterans FIRST.
Zero tolerance for those who abuse them.
Immediate action. No excuses.
If you’re not outraged by this, you’re not paying attention.
Semper Fi.

you get arrested for a tweet but let go with a warning for gang rape

Mehdi Hasan was 30 years old in 2009 when he called non-Muslims ‘animals with diseased minds.’
He was so extreme that he even attacked ‘dog and music lovers’, since dogs and music are haram in Islam. He also compared homosexuals to pedophiles.
He only apologized a decade later, because the video leaked.
Mehdi claims he has totally changed, which I find hard to believe given his actions and the fact that he practices Twelver Shia Islam, where lying (Taqiyya) is completely allowed.
Mehdi hates when this video goes viral. It would be a shame if it did.
I have some bad news
The CO teacher who was fired for allegedly forcing girls to make out in class got a new job as an elementary school teacher in Malley Drive Elementary School in @Adams12.

I love this guy.
Muslim former Prime Minster of Scotland.
When a white person attacks brown people, he goes into a frenzy posting about racism and hate.
When a brown person attacks a white person, he calls for an end to "division".
Same act. Two standards.
Anti-white racism.
On March 31, 2010, a 13 yr old Muslim girl named Elham Mahdi al-Assi was forced into an arranged marriage with Abed al-Hikmi, age 23, in the Hajjah province of Yemen.
The first night, Elham resisted al-Hikmi’s sexual advances. On the second day, he visited a clinic in an effort to get some tranquilizers so that he could drug her into cooperating, but was refused.
That night, al-Hikmi tied Elham to the bed and raped her so brutally that the next day she was unable to walk. Dr. Fathiya Haidar, who worked at the clinic al-Hikmi grudgingly took her to, later told journalists that Elham had suffered “significant injuries,” and that she had ordered al-Hikmi to leave Elham alone for at least ten days.
It was an order that al-Hikmi ignored.
On 2 April, three days after her marriage, Elham Mahdi al-Assi died from severe internal bleeding. A post-mortem examination made it clear that al-Hikmi had raped her again after the visit to the clinic, even more violently than before.
International outcry was enormous, but as Yemeni law has no minimum age for marriage, and marital rape is perfectly legal, Elham’s rapist-husband was not charged with any crime. Yemeni leaders refused to implement any minimum age for marriage, saying that doing so would violate Sharia principles — and so of course it happened again.
In 2013, an 8 year old girl named Rawan was forcibly married to a 40 yr old man, also in Hajjah province. On the wedding night, he raped her so brutally that he ruptured her uterus. She was rushed to a clinic, but could not be saved, and died from shock and blood loss.
Again, international condemnation followed. The Yemeni government tried to deny that the girl had died, or that any wedding had taken place, but activists from the Yemen House of Folklore insisted that the events had occurred as reported.
The Yemeni government then tried to parade another girl in front of cameras, claiming that she was Rawan and was unharmed, but journalists and activists alike have stated that this was a sham. Once again, no one was arrested, and no charges were filed.
Elhan and Rawan were little girls. They deserved a chance to grow up, to become the women they were meant to be. Instead, their parents sold them off to be raped to death by grown men who had absolutely no business being anywhere near them.
The laws of Yemen are atrocious. Elhan and Rawan are not the only girls who have been raped to death. They’re just the only ones we’ve heard of.
And this, too, is Islam.
41 year old rapist Diwan Khan Who is the son of former Bracknell Forest Mayor Naheed Ejaz, has been jailed for raping a 15 year old girl.
His mum 61 year old Naheed Ejaz the former mayor has also been jailed too, as she refused to let the police in when they came to arrest him. Which allowed him enough time to get rid of his mobile phone which had incriminating videos on it.
Diwan khan was jailed for a total of 12 years, and must serve at least eight years before any chance of parole.
His mum Naheed Ejaz was found guilty of a charge of perverting the course of justice. She was jailed for three years, and must serve at least 16 months before any chance of parole.
Think about this: The Iranian regime, absolutely desperate for cash, should be on its very best behavior — even temporarily — to unlock that $ and keep it flowing. But they are pathologically incapable of even pretending. And they’re hoping (?) POTUS is so obsessed with a “peace” “deal” that he’ll let them get away with it.
Also, explain how a regime that has been playing games with Hezbollah and refusing (twice!) to fulfill literally the only concession they’ve agreed to so far (opening the Strait of Hormuz) will ever truly dismantle its nuclear program under some “agreement.” They are incapable of honor or improvement. They’re advertising it. Again.
The urologist who reassured @JonniSkinner that puberty blockers were fine after they caused him to become incontinent and start pissing blood was just charged with possession of thousands pornographic images of children
Afghan Army commanders brought their child sex slaves onto US bases; Marines got PTSD from hearing them get raped at night
The governor of the district I deployed to had a basement rape dungeon
And these were our allies, the “good guys”
People have no idea how bad it is there
You can be a boy claiming to be “transgender” in Massachusetts and they’ll let you beat up on girls in their sports. No problem.
But let some dudes take a victory picture with cigars, and the hammer drops. Season forfeited.
We live in a parody.
Insane thing happened in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Winning lacrosse team seniors photographed smoking cigars while celebrating their graduation. Forced to FORFEIT their entire season just before big playoff game for "violating state athletic association rules against tobacco use."
Parents/students try to claim that the cigars were fake, but a thorough investigation is conducted and a damning receipt from Shaw's grocery store is found (despite parents' attempt to smudge out the date on the receipt).
You live in a prison and you don't even know it.
Nah, you guys know what? I’m just gonna come out and say it. And when I’m done saying it, tell me if it’s “blatant Islamophobia” or just…. you know… reality.
Let me explain to you some of the things I witnessed with my very own eyes in multiple Muslim countries. This will not be for the weak or faint of heart.
1. They didn’t just massacre one another in Baghdad, they chopped each other up into little pieces and stuffed them in underground vats. SPC Plocica was the only one with a strong enough stomach to fish the pieces out with a coat hanger so we could confirm the report. Don’t worry @Primz94933160 was there too as a witness. Rib cages with rotted flesh, pieces of legs with shoes attached, arms, hands, you name it. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve seen with my two eyes.
2. The obsession with having sex with children or feminine men. The saying over there was women are for breeding and men are for fun. We had to protect our fairer looking male Soldiers from being molested CONSTANTLY. But that isn’t the worst part. I once stumbled upon an Afghan colonel r*ping his 11 year old assistant, I heard the unholy noises emanating from his tent on our FOB. When I moved to interdict I was stopped for fear of a Green on Blue incident. And then we were all “educated” on the fact that this was CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR THEM TO DO. It was as normal as breathing.
3. Women are less than nothing to them. I would always ask how many children elders had for small talk. They could have 10 kids. 7 daughters and 3 sons. What will they tell you? They have 3 sons. I watched a man carrying his dead daughter in his arms to my FOB. She died due to a malfunctioned bomb we dropped. That didn’t matter to him. He dropped her on the ground with a stone cold face and demanded we pay him. She was f*****g NOTHING to him. He left the body with us and walked away counting his money.
4. Some of them have sex with animals. Ask me if I saw a man from COP 763 in east Baghdad mount a donkey in the middle of the night through a RAID FLIR camera. Because the answer will be yes.
5. They did heinous things in battle. Suicide bombings. Using their own wives as human shields. Using children as shields. Shooting from mosques. Spitting at our working dogs… or worse.
This all sounds crazy right? And I bet my comment section will flow with similar horror stories. It almost sounds like I’m making it up huh? I wish I was. I really do.
I know good Muslims in America. One of them is among my closest friends. But he’s passed through the American filter…HEAVILY. I can safely say he is literally one of us.
My question for you is, how are you not “Islamophobic”? My assessment comes from 4 total years immersed in multiple Islamic nations.
I wish I could say I’m sorry that I’m an inconvenient truth teller against your agenda.
But I’m not sorry at all. You must open your eyes. You MUST see this is a problem. Don’t you? How can you not?
