Why is saying that so difficult today?
The full Fifth Circuit has issued an extraordinary precedential order making clear that illegal aliens do not have a constitutional right to roam free in the United States during their removal proceedings.
JUST IN: A 2nd circuit panel says Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi — targeted for deportation by Secretary Rubio for his pro-Palestinian advocacy — should never have been released by a federal judge in Vermont. https://t.co/KuoN7wTLdp
Leggo che alcuni esponenti dell’opposizione mi chiedono di prendere le distanze da un video realizzato con l’intelligenza artificiale, diffuso da un altro partito di opposizione, nel quale sono stata inserita a mia insaputa.
Lo faccio senza alcuna esitazione. Quel video non appartiene al mio modo di essere, né al mio modo di intendere il confronto politico. Ho sempre pensato che la politica debba misurarsi con le idee, con il consenso e con il voto dei cittadini, mai con l’intimidazione, con l’odio o con la rappresentazione violenta dell’avversario.
Proprio per questo, però, mi aspetto la stessa chiarezza da chi oggi mi rivolge questo appello.
Mi aspetto che gli stessi esponenti della sinistra trovino il coraggio di prendere le distanze quando un assessore del Partito Democratico arriva a evocare i fucili contro gli avversari politici. Mi aspetto la stessa fermezza quando autorevoli rappresentanti istituzionali della sinistra, davanti a vicende ancora al vaglio della magistratura, scelgono di alimentare un clima di contrapposizione che finisce per delegittimare le Forze dell’Ordine e offrire il pretesto a chi trasforma le piazze in luoghi di violenza.
La condanna delle parole d’odio, di ogni incitamento alla violenza e di ogni forma di intimidazione politica non può valere solo quando è utile alla polemica del momento. Deve valere sempre. Senza eccezioni. Senza doppi standard.
Considero da sempre la violenza, in qualsiasi forma si manifesti, una dimostrazione di debolezza e di insicurezza. Chi è davvero forte non ha bisogno di ostentarlo. È una convinzione che non cambierò mai.
Per questo continuerò a respingere ogni forma di odio e di violenza, a difendere il confronto civile e a rispettare il lavoro di chi serve lo Stato, anche quando significa assumersi la responsabilità di esporsi in prima persona.
Mi auguro che tutti abbiano lo stesso coraggio.
"You are spending $7.5 trillion?"
Congress: "Yes Dave"
"And you only have $5.5 trillion in revenue?"
Congress: "That's correct Dave"
"And you have $39.5 trillion in debt and 42% of all income tax revenue goes to paying interest?"
Congress: "That's correct Dave"
A US senator killed a 28 year old woman, left her to drown, spent zero days in jail, and then served 40 more years in the Senate. 57 years ago tonight. Almost nobody remembers her name.
57 years ago tonight, July 18 1969, on a tiny island called Chappaquiddick that most Americans could not find on a map, the most infamous car accident in US history happened while the entire world was staring at the sky waiting for men to walk on the moon.
Senator Ted Kennedy left a cottage party for the "Boiler Room Girls," the young women who had worked themselves to exhaustion on his brother Bobby's campaign the year before Bobby was shot, and he drove off with 28 year old Mary Jo Kopechne around 11:15 pm. He said he was taking her to the ferry.
Instead the car went off the Dike Bridge, a narrow wooden bridge with no guardrail, and flipped upside down into the black tidal water of Poucha Pond. Kennedy got out. Mary Jo did not.
And here is the part history never forgave: he did not knock on the lit up house just yards away that had a phone, he did not call police, he walked back to the party and then he went to bed.
He reported it roughly 10 hours later, the next morning, only after two fishermen had already found the car and her body. The diver who pulled her out, John Farrar, said she had likely survived for a while inside an air pocket and might be alive today if anyone had simply called for help that night.
Two days later Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, and so the greatest achievement in human history shared the front page with a drowned woman and a senator who waited until sunrise.
The punishment for all of it: a guilty plea to leaving the scene, a two month suspended sentence, not a single day served. He kept his Senate seat for 40 more years until he died in 2009, one of the most powerful men in the country.
Strip away the famous last name and you are left with something painfully simple. A young woman trusted the wrong man to drive her home, and he chose himself.
Say her name tonight. Not his. Mary Jo Kopechne.
An innocent 72 year old grandfather, Mario Roggero, is being dragged to prison for 14 years and 9 months.
Why?
Because three armed thugs broke into his jewelry store, held a gun to his daughter’s face, put a knife to his wife’s throat, beat them, and tried to destroy his family.
Mario defended them. He fought back. And for that, Italy’s courts have decided he’s the criminal.
Not the robbers who came to terrorize and steal. Him.
They say the “danger had passed” because the attackers were running away.
Running away with the terror they inflicted still fresh on his wife and daughter.
What kind of twisted logic is this?
This is betrayal of the Italian people.
This is a system that protects predators and punishes fathers and grandfathers who dare to protect their own.
Mario is no criminal. He’s a hardworking man, a family man, a grandfather who just wanted to see his eight grandchildren grow up.
Now they want to lock him up like a thug while the real criminals demand millions in compensation from the man they tried to destroy.
This is insane.
This is what happens when a country forgets the basic right to defend your life and your loved ones.
Italy, wake up!
The whole world is watching this disgrace.
Matteo Salvini and millions of decent Italians are standing with Mario.
We demand a pardon.
We demand real self defense laws that protect victims, not the ones who attack them.
Per Mario Roggero il Quirinale invoca prudenza e considera prematuro parlare di grazia.
Nel dicembre 2025, però, Mattarella concesse undici anni e quattro mesi di grazia parziale ad Alaa Faraj condannato a trent’anni come presunto scafista e per concorso in omicidio plurimo.
INSANE!
19 years ago, Messi did a charity photo shoot while playing for Barcelona.
Families entered a raffle, players were assigned by lottery, and Messi ended up holding a 5 month old baby.
That baby? Lamine Yamal.
Now they’ll face each other in Sunday’s World Cup final. 🤯
Che schifo! La #sinistra dei diritti affossa la possibilità di scrivere le #preferenze alle prossime elezioni e di scegliervi i deputati e festeggia pure!
Perché guai a votare una cosa che si ritiene giusta… guai!
