British archival film of Jerusalem, Palestine 1940.
8 years before the existence of Israel.
This archival British film documents Jerusalem in 1940, highlighting its sacred landmarks, including Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Fun Fact: There’s a federal website that exists only because courts forced the White House to put it back online. Twice.
Yes, really.
The site is https://t.co/k8sErkzo9G. Congress passed a law requiring the Office of Management and Budget to publicly show how it controls federal spending within 2 days of making decisions. Translation: Congress approves the money, but OMB decides when agencies are allowed to use it. For decades, those decisions were completely secret.
Then it gets wild.
In March 2025, OMB Director Russell Vought just… took the site offline. His excuse? Transparency supposedly had a “chilling effect” on White House decision-making. GAO said that was illegal. Watchdog groups sued. A federal judge said OMB was relying on an “extravagant and unsupported theory of presidential power” and ordered the site restored. OMB appealed. A second court shut that down too.
The site came back in August 2025 — not because OMB wanted it to, but because courts made them.
Plot twist: even after restoring it, OMB started sneaking in secret footnotes pointing to hidden “spend plans” that weren’t publicly posted. In January 2026, another federal judge caught them again and ruled they were still violating the law.
Why this matters: this boring little database is how the public catches the White House illegally withholding money Congress already approved. In 2025 alone, OMB withheld over $410 billion. Without this site, Americans would have no visibility into executive branch defiance of Congress.
The irony? The site loads like it’s powered by a hamster on a treadmill. That’s not sabotage. That’s just federal IT. About 90% of government websites fail basic performance standards because they run on legacy systems from the early 2000s.
Bottom line: this plain, slow, ugly database required an act of Congress, multiple federal court orders, and ongoing legal supervision — all so Americans can see how their own money is actually being controlled.
Which tells you exactly why someone tried so hard to make it disappear.
“Israel is not looking for peace. Israel is looking for domination..”
“Israeli society is absolutely content on MASS MURDER and on ethnic cleansing so that Israel retains control over 100% of what was the so-called British mandatory Palestine.”

🚨NEW | Director of Nursing at Nasser Medical Complex, Dr. Mohammed Saqer, says Israel struck the exact location of the hospital known to Israelis as the journalists’ hub — and then attacked again when rescuers arrived:
“The occupation forces say that there was a hidden camera on the fourth floor of the surgery building. But truly, this is untrue. This area, the stairs next to the OT is a hub for journalists. All of us know this is a central hub for journalists. They put their cameras upstairs and deliver the news to local and international agencies. So it’s not a secret. It’s something known to us and to Israel.
I think the Israeli occupation should have talked to us. They know our numbers. They sometimes contact us. If they had any objection related to the presence of journalists on the fourth floor, we could have fixed this. It’s not difficult. We could have asked journalists to come down and leave the place. But they have been using this area for a long time to deliver the news.
The shocking thing is why the Israeli air forces hit the journalists on the fourth floor and when we sent our humanitarian staff to rescue them, they attacked the humanitarian staff again. What’s the point of this? Why do you insist on killing us? We are working in a humanitarian area, in a health facility. We should be protected according to international regulations and rules.”
OMG this is what you call a Hell of a Speech! This Priest is Phenomenal and completely Roasted Trump in every way possible without cussing! Governor Pritzker has Chicago behind him and he’s one strong amazing intelligent man that won’t allow any harm come to Chicago! 💪🔥💙
