Lots of words and noise.
What else...? No that's pretty much it.

It's jaw-dropping how many Christian Zionists (or Dispensationalists) believe that "the promises to Israel were never fulfilled", and so God is "one day going to restore Jews to the land."
They never read their Bibles: "Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there."
-Joshua 21:43
"Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life."
-1 Kings 4:21

PS: the Bible never mentions the Nile as the western boundary. It's the wadi, or brook of Egypt (now El-Arish) - the well-known eastern boundary of Egypt in those days. It's just west of Rafah, and is a seasonal river. Egypt was never part of the Promised Lands.

Imagine how amazing the Middle East would be if the greater Israel project was real.

😂😂😂😂😂 What a brave woman.

She encourages the U.S. and Israel to bomb civilians, yet she's afraid of seeing the name "Laura" appear in an animation.

There is no possibility President Trump‘s claim is true. This is the latest evidence that either the president is in serious cognitive decline, or he is an incurable sociopathic liar.

Iran has been consistent, public, and emphatic about its positions, and they have virtually remained unchanged throughout this entire conflict and in the MOU period.

They are not going to relinquish control of the SOH, and they are going to insist upon the conditions of the MOU be honored by America, primarily relief of sanctions and release of frozen assets. Until or unless those things are done, there is no chance that they’re gonna “gave up everything“ as President Trump here claims.

As long as he is the decision-maker about war and peace, we seem locked into conflict with no exit in sight, and therefore the likely continued deterioration of our economic situation.

Once a recession starts to deepen, one wonders if enough people will finally recognize that we have been lied to all along.

Here’s a list of people mourning the warmonger and misanthrope Lindsey Graham:

That tells me everything I need to know. Glad to be on the human side of history.

Lindsey Graham is Dead!

Life is strange. One minute you're smiling and holding a weapon designed to tear human bodies apart, the next day you're laying on a slab in a temperature controlled room while half the world dances in celebration.

🇺🇸🇰🇼 BREAKING!! AMERICAN CASUALTIES IN KUWAIT!

During the Iranian strikes near the Iraqi border 3 specialized HIMARS system operators were killed, and 12 other technical crew members were severely injured alongside them.

2022 🇷🇺: “Somebody in Russia [should] take [Putin] out.”

2023 🇷🇺:“Russians are dying… best money we’ve ever spent.”

2023 🇵🇸: “Gaza should be flattened.”

2024 🇵🇸: “This is Hiroshima & Nagasaki on steroids.” “If I were Israel, I’d do the same.” “Do whatever you have to do.” “Pull the Palestinian school system up by its roots and destroy it.”

2025 🇵🇸: “We’re killing all the right people.”

2026 🇮🇷: “We will obliterate them” over Strait of Hormuz.

I’m shocked that so many people are mourning his death. Mourning a monster doesn’t humanize the monster. It dehumanizes the mourner.

🇺🇸Marco Rubio in MARCH: "Goal of the war is to change the regime."

🇺🇸Marco Rubio in JULY: "Goal of the war is to return everything 'back to the way it was,' including the Strait of Hormuz." 🤣

Americans have elected a bunch of clowns

Incorrect.

The most hated country in the world is still Israel.

[AMK Mapping 🇳🇿 @AMK_Mapping_]

I think it's safe to say that this is the largest escalation since the beginning of the so-called memorandum of understanding.

The U.S. carried out over 140 airstrikes on Iran, while Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles and drones towards targets in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and possibly the UAE, while striking a second vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran is proving to the U.S. that it will not back down in the face of American escalation, and furthermore, will escalate in kind by launching much larger attacks than last time.

Even if, hypothetically, every single Iranian missile and drone was shot down, the message remains the same, and U.S. interceptor missile stockpiles continue to be drained. The threat of escalation is Iran's biggest advantage, especially as Trump continues to wage this prolonged and incredibly unpopular quagmire of a war that cannot be won, and continues to humiliate the U.S. and Israel on the world stage.

The next level of escalation for Iran is pre-emptive strikes. Because they know that the U.S. will attack Iran again in the future with essentially 100% certainty, I would not be surprised if we see some sort of attack ahead of an expected U.S. strike as a show of force.

Lindsey Graham will go down a one of the most bloodthirsty and sadistic senators in US history. There was no moral line he wouldn’t cross, no child he wouldn’t sacrifice. Stiff competition, but he really had a commitment to evil that’s hard to match

[Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore]

Lindsey Graham is Dead. It’s bad to speak ill of the dead, so I’ll just say while he was alive he was as horribly evil & as bloodthirsty as they come. A true demon & an enemy of humanity.

As a dead guy I’m guessing he’s no better, but it’s bad form to speak ill of the dead, so I won’t.

Pavel Durov owns 100% of Telegram, a company used by over a billion people and has hundreds of millions in the bank.

He doesn't own a house. No jet. No yacht. No real estate. Nothing.

Tucker Carlson was visibly stunned: "I've never heard of that before."

So why?

Durov's answer cuts straight to his core philosophy:

"My number one priority in life is my freedom. And once you start buying things, it will tie you down to a physical location."

It goes deeper than minimalism.

He explains that the reason he never took venture capital even as Telegram scaled to a billion users was independence:

"We knew that our mission and our goals are not necessarily consistent with the goals of funds that could be investing into us."

Most founders take the money. The valuation goes up. The cap table fills with names. And slowly, almost invisibly, the mission starts bending toward returns.

Durov refused to let that happen.

And the same logic applies to his personal life. Every asset you own doesn't just cost money, it costs attention. He puts it plainly:

"I know that if I buy a house, I buy a jet, something like that, I would be spending time on trying to make it nice. This will require a lot of time and effort."

Tucker jokingly asks: "Would you go with leather seats or velvet seats?"

Durov laughs, then delivers the line that says everything:

"For me, I would rather make decisions that would influence how a billion people communicate rather than choosing the color of seats in a house that only I and my relatives and a bunch of my friends will see."

That's the trade-off he's made deliberately, consciously, and completely.

No distractions. No investors pulling him sideways. No assets demanding his calendar.

Just the product, the mission, and the freedom to pursue both on his own terms.

Anyone who mourns the death of Lindsey Graham should do the exact same for every single one of the tens of thousands of Gazan children who were massacred over the last 2 years.

They were massacred by the genocidal military that Lindsey Graham helped fund.

[Cameron Kasky @camkasky]

Ro and I visited the destroyed village of Zanuta and the site of an EU-funded school that got burned down by settlers.

It was here that we got intercepted and captured by settlers wielding American-made rifles. The IDF showed up to back up the settlers, not the U.S. congressman.

The United States carried out a genocide across Southeast Asia. Four million people died. And Vietnam is still Communist to this day.

They were mocking the Special Military Operation. Now they’ve got a real war. Zelensky might want to start evacuating frontline cities, because things will only get worse from here on out.
