Trump will say in his UNGA speech: "In America, we just marked the 25th anniversary of the worst terror attack in history, September 11th, which killed 3,000 people a few miles from here. In two weeks, we will mark the third anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, where terrorists funded by Iran tortured, mutilated, and killed 1,200 innocent civilians, including dozens of Americans. Iran’s Supreme Leader celebrated that massacre and called it a 'service to humanity'. The same regime slaughtered over 72,000 of its own citizens this year. Just imagine if such a vile regime were ever empowered to carry out large-scale terror attacks from behind a nuclear shield. This was the reality we had to confront—a reality that far too many preferred to ignore"
What’s being conveniently overlooked by Muslims trying to cancel John Cleese is that he helped create Monty Python’s Life of Brian in 1979, a comedy that relentlessly satirized Christians, Jews, religious institutions, and, above all, blind adherence to dogma.
When critics dismissed it as “just a comedy,” Cleese argued that the film was also profoundly religious because it forced audiences to confront the historical and religious context surrounding the life of Jesus.
The deeper question Cleese raised then remains relevant today: Is religion merely the rigid observance of dogma, or is it a lifelong exploration of faith… an effort to become a better, holier person with a deeper understanding of God?
Submission and obedience to God are especially explicit themes in Islam. But that distinction matters: obedience to God is not the same as unquestioning obedience to religious authorities.
Every major religion must wrestle with the same fundamental question: Are believers faithfully seeking God, or merely obeying the people who claim to speak for Him?
I’m no fan of Cleese’s history of supporting liberal politics but this central question, which he has been asking for half a century, is a valid one the most religious people I know and respect ask themselves often.
I vowed I'd let it go this year, but Texas A&M is ranked 23rd in the AP Poll, and 20th in the Coaches Poll
Kentucky (whose only loss is to Alabama) JUST WON YESTERDAY IN COLLEGE STATION and isn't in either top 25
We're told FDR's leadership ended the Great Depression.
It's a myth.
FDR passed dumb rules. He raised farm prices by buying and often destroying crops.
Economist Don Boudreaux: "People were hungry and they were destroying food. How was that good? ... People can't eat prices!”
From 5th-7th grade, I went to an inner city where a majority of the kids were on free or reduced lunch. Just as Nikole Hannah-Jones writes, the hardest part was the disruptions in class. I fell behind on math during these years and never caught up, taking remedial math throughout most of college. But my mom didn’t send me here for political reasons, it was out of necessity, because my mom was broke and we moved in w my great grandma and this was the closest free public school. My mom married again with the sole mission of getting me to a better school
To purposefully subject your children to this environment distills progressivism to its core, and is the same reason blue cities are full of homelessness and crime. They truly believe antisocial behavior is ok, and to enforce any kind of rules is oppressive

This is the per-pupil funding for the elementary school Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to.
If you subscribe to the funding theory of education, how much would have been enough? It's already crossed the average per capita annual income threshold. Maybe $100k? $200k?
Stefanski and this #Falcons coaching staff had to know what Cooper Rush was going into Week 2. They chose to play him for three quarters anyway.
Not going to forget that.
@MilesGarrettTV Trying not to have recency bias, but that is the most futile performance in my 20 years of fandom. Feel really bad for our skill position guys who continually give great effort. The leadership of this franchise fails them over and over again.
@tre3shon@TheFalcoholic He’s done. Of course Atlanta front office is too stupid to not realize he is going to be all done at once sooner rather than later. Another example of terrible organizational leadership.
