It was a great night for the three players the Astros got from the Cubs in the Kyle Tucker trade:
Hayden Wesneski gave up three runs in seven innings.
Cam Smith went 3-for-4 with a homer and game-tying single in ninth.
Isaac Paredes was 2-for-4 with a two-run double in 10th.
None of it, buts not ours either. Iran was only able to reach into Iraq, Syria etc. because we foolishly removed Saddam. IRGC or TB fighting ISIS is a good thing. However the only reason ISIS exists in the 1st place is because of our foolish war in Iraq.
We should stop these foolish interventions that never benefit the American ppl & stick to limited CT ops against terror elements who seek to attack us at home.
Laura is rage-baiting because the war that she and her benefactors advocated for is going terribly.
One of the fundamental reasons the war in Iran is failing is a lack of basic understanding of both the country we started a war with and of the Middle East as a whole.
Loomer displays this lack of understanding/inability to assess the threat environment, and the sad irony here is that because our leaders have listened to rhetoric like hers we’ve now successfully radicalized the Iranians—so not only are we taking our eye off the very legitimate threats still posed by ISIS and Al-Qaeda, we will almost certainly face blowback terrorism as a result of the Iran war here on U.S. soil.
My late wife was killed by an ISIS suicide bomber. At the time of her death, the Iranian-backed Shia militias & the Assad regime were also actively fighting against ISIS. That is a fact.
Iranians have targeted Americans, but only when we intervened in their region. That is not sympathizing with the enemy—that is also, simply, a fact.
In Trump’s first administration, he exercised restraint—conducting a measured and effective retaliatory response via targeted strikes (Solmani), while having the discipline to not take the bait of a full-blown war with Iran, precisely because we knew it would result in the same disastrous outcome we’re dealing with today.
Unfortunately, this time around POTUS opted to listen to the likes of Laura and the Israeli lobby instead of those who actually understand the region & the threat—and now that we are in this mess and public support has cratered, Loomer & her ilk are blindly screaming “Islam!” as a distraction. It’s the same tired Bush-era “with us or with the terrorists” binary that got us twenty years of failure.
The American people deserve better.
Data centers have lobbyists and cows do not. In Congress they tried to pass a bill to exempt data centers from environmental lawsuits, so more data centers could be built in pastures. I stopped them (for now) by blowing the whistle.
Rabbi Shmuley threatened me yesterday after I exposed his role around Michael Jackson.
Then he suddenly deleted the comment.
@RabbiShmuley, why did you delete it?
I’m sorry if you’re a Republican and don’t want to hear this but the National Debt is $3.6 Trillion higher than when Trump took office 18 months ago. Here’s the 90 second speech I gave the night they passed the Big Bankruptcy Bill.
So emotional tribute at Franco Baresi funeral as Milan fans outside the church sing loud “You’ll never walk alone” to the Captain coffin escorted into the Basilica
This is how CIA operations work 👻
In hybrid warfare you overthrow nations by flooding the region with people from another country, thus toppling the governing body.
Just 3 weeks ago Netanyahu was saying 🇪🇸 Spain was an enemy of Israel 🇮🇱. Shortly after Trump 🇺🇸 spoke out against Spain.
This isn't just about land, it's about cutting off Russia's 🇷🇺 trade routes through the Mediterranean, halting their oil exports.
The next phase is Egypt 🇪🇬 as part of their Greater Israel Project. Israel wants complete control over the Suez Canal and the entire region.
Prepare accordingly Egyptians because we don't know if it will be a kinetic invasion, economic warfare or psychological operations.
This is how world wars begin.
Newly released footage shows Lindsey Graham acting as a foreign agent for Israel, conspiring with Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call about protecting him from his war crimes charges.
Netanyahu suggests using blackmail against ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan to undermine the court's credibility.
Graham discusses recruiting other Democrats, along with Speaker Mike Johnson, as the perfect pawn.
"The perfect person would be Speaker Johnson."
Being angry at Fauci or being angry at Israel isn’t productive anymore. The anger is justified, but without real accountability it’s just wasted energy—unless it’s directed effectively into a pursuit for positive change.
Trump won in 2024 because most Americans understood that wars in the Middle East are bad for the U.S. & that COVID was a crime against humanity. He built a historic coalition that promised, with conviction, that voting for Trump meant we’d get accountability, no more foolish wars, & an administration that would actually put America first.
Instead, we have a new war in the Middle East and Trump announcing he’ll honor Fauci’s pardon.
This is all infuriating, but don’t let it demoralize you—because it’s also clarifying.
We can declassify documents, stage hearings, and post talking points on the internet all day. But none of it matters when we have a justice system that refuses to deliver genuine, bipartisan accountability, impartial to political influence from any direction.
Right now, Trump has the ultimate power to pursue that accountability, and he’s choosing not to. That tells you everything you need to know.
We know who will hide behind performative outrage about Fauci, Iran, or the Deep State while taking no real action in efforts to shield their political careers—and we know who will actually stand up, fight, & tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable the consequences may be.
The problem isn’t the War Machine, foreign interests trying to push us into war, or the Deep State & their pathetic apparatchiks like Fauci seeking to control us.
The problem is putting our faith in leaders, again and again, who lack the courage to fight them.
Benjamin Netanyahu and his son, Yair Netanyahu, have been calling for an invasion of Spain's cities of Ceuta and Melilla by "Arabs and Muslims" since at least 2019.
Netanyahu's son wrote: "Dear Arabs and Muslims: Want to free occupied Arab Islamic lands? Here's a good start!"
Earlier this year, Netanyahu stated that Spain had decided to stand up against Israel and that he would make an example of the country.
"I do not intend to allow any country to wage a diplomatic war against us without paying an immediate price."
