Not surprised. One of the most deceitful practices on Amazon. Many are shown as "AD" on the first line. Sometimes "Sponsored" I think. Or is that another site. Hmmmm.
AMAZON PISSES ME OFF.
Why do I bother to type in "100% cotton" for everything from T-shirts to Pajamas, but the products that pop up are always 50% polyester or something else BESIDES COTTON?
Is there a secret code or something?

If you are a Catholic, you can be both anti-immigration and pro-human dignity.
They are not mutually exclusive. Just because we don’t want illegals in our country doesn’t mean we can treat them inhumanely or with cruelty. Obviously, self-defense measures taken by law enforcement are justified.
At the same time, there cannot be encouragement for migrants to abandon their own countries and cross the border illegally into America.
@WallStreetApes I got Apple News free for 3 months when I bought a MacBook a year ago. Tried reading it for 2 days. Closed my free account on day 3. Worst "news" aggregator I have seen. Diligently avoid Apple News.
And remember, vote Republican all up and down the ticket. Because our lives depend on it! Republicans aren't necessarily a solution to our problems, but Democrats and their ilk like the DSA and Muslims, are certainly the cause of our problems!
TEXAS, ACT NOW: Voting isn't rocket science, but you DO need a plan. The countdown to Election Day is on. Know where you're voting, when you're going, and what to bring. Make your plan today and be ready to vote by Nov. 3.
@LoneStar_PAC@KurtSchlichter What a schlub. Talks in meaningless word salads and expects us to think he's this wonderful leader. James Talerico #TXsen is a flaming idiot who thinks sentient beings are enlightened by him. Dope!
Grok, answer each and all the questions posed by Gad Saad.
Islam (specifically Islamist interpretations and groups) aligns with the patterns in Saad’s questions more closely than other major religions, based on available terrorism databases, U.S. government designations, historical records, and primary Islamic sources. Individual answers follow.
Islam accounts for the largest share of terrorist attacks and especially fatalities over the past 50 years. A Fondapol compilation recorded 66,872 Islamist attacks worldwide from 1979 to April 2024, causing at least 249,941 deaths; the post-2012 period alone produced the large majority of both figures. Analyses of the Global Terrorism Database show that groups with Islamist motivations have dominated attributed fatalities since the mid-2000s, even when they do not always form the absolute majority of incidents.
The FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list has been overwhelmingly composed of individuals affiliated with Islamist organizations (Al-Qaeda, ISIS affiliates, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Abu Sayyaf, and similar groups). Earlier public tallies placed the share near 97 percent; archived and current listings continue to show the same pattern by name and organizational affiliation.
U.S. State Department Foreign Terrorist Organization designations have long been dominated by Islamist entities (Al-Qaeda and affiliates, ISIS provinces, Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and others). Recent additions have included some cartels and other groups, yet Islamist organizations remain the largest single category by historical volume and current activity.
Documented cases of converts committing terrorist attacks are disproportionately linked to Islam in Western datasets and court records (examples include multiple European and North American plots). Comparable volumes are not recorded for converts to other major religions in the same period.
Regions that became Muslim-majority after early conquests (much of the Middle East, North Africa, Anatolia, and parts of South Asia) saw sharp long-term declines in Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Hindu, and Buddhist populations. Contributing factors included differential taxation (jizya), legal disabilities under dhimmi rules, periodic violence, and social incentives for conversion; the pattern is consistent across centuries though not instantaneous in every locality.
The early Muslim conquests (622–750 CE) produced one of history’s fastest large-scale expansions, bringing Byzantine, Sasanian, Visigothic, Berber, and other societies under caliphal rule from Iberia to Sindh and Central Asia. Later expansions (Ottoman, Mughal, and others) extended the process. Territorial scale and speed are comparable only to a few other conquests, such as those of Alexander or the Mongols.
The Quran and major Hadith collections contain repeated injunctions to fight non-Muslims until they submit, pay tribute, or convert, along with statements of Islam’s ultimate supremacy (examples include Quran 9:5, 9:29, 8:39, and 2:193, plus related prophetic traditions). Classical juristic schools developed doctrines of offensive jihad aimed at expanding dar al-Islam. Reformist or quietist readings exist, but the texts themselves are explicit on these points.
Muhammad personally commanded military campaigns, including the conquest of Mecca and the consolidation of Arabia through warfare and treaties enforced by force. Islamic sources record him as both prophet and military leader.
Orthodox Sunni and Shia doctrines treat the Quran as the final, unalterable revelation and Muhammad as the seal of the prophets, which constrains doctrinal revision relative to Christianity’s history of schisms and Protestant reforms. Apostasy has traditionally carried severe penalties in classical jurisprudence; modern reform movements exist but face institutional and legal resistance in many Muslim-majority settings.

Which religion, once it becomes a majority, invariably leads to the near extinction of all other religions?
Which religion has conquered the greatest number of cultures via military conquest?
Which religion has endless canonical tenets that call for the conquest of the entire world, and erasure of all other religions?
Which religion was founded by a military conqueror?
Which religion does not permit for any reformation to take place?
Which religion refers to others as subhuman filth?
Rhode Islanders open that bill every month….
How does anyone hear both answers and vote for the second?
Democrats have completely lost the ability to think rationally.
When referencing Muslim thuggery in France, the French media refers to them as "Les Jeunes." The youth. But the youth are not Vietnamese youth; they are not Japanese youth; they are not Hasidic Jews youth. They are Muslims but it is mean and Islamophobic to call them by their actual identity. In Britain, the Pakistani child rapists are called "Asian men." Now the mayhem in France is apparently not due to Muslim youth but to "high school protesters." ANYTHING is better than to be accused of Islamophobia. Give up your children, your women, your heritage, your society, your religion, your culture, your civilization but don't you dare be Islamophobic.
Best news analysis anywhere and everywhere today. @BskiMike22802 is consistently the best in news analysis. Just saying... Read for yourself. Plus highly entertaining writing. He's the full happy meal, not like most reports that are "a few fries short of a happy meal". 😊😄😂🤣
Fourteen thousand feet in thirty seconds.
That is how far FlyDubai 1073 fell after the co-pilot stabbed the captain. Parents were telling their kids goodbye. Then a plumber, a dentist, and a bleeding captain who opened the cockpit door saved 170 people.
I ran the physics on that dive. Everyone on that plane should be dead.

$17 MILLION IN DRUG CASH. ONE UTAH SNACK SHOP.
Almost nobody outside Salt Lake is talking about this one.
Georgina Espinoza-Grajeda is an illegal alien from Mexico who was living in Eagle Mountain. On September 30 she pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to launder money.
She ran the money-transfer counter at a South Salt Lake snack shop. She admitted taking cash from drug sales and wiring it to suppliers in Mexico and Honduras.
Prosecutors say she and her crew pushed more than seventeen million dollars in drug money through that operation. That much cartel cash moved through a storefront in Utah, and the national press barely blinked. She gets sentenced in December.
This is what an open border looks like when the cartels treat American towns like their personal bank. DOJ put it out, and the networks buried it, so share it anyway.

Elissa, I corrected your post. You had a misplaced adjective. "At this point, Donald Trump is on track to be the most successful leader in world history". Proper quality control on your part would have corrected this.
Elissa Slotkin: "At this point, Donald Trump is on track to be the most successful corrupt leader in world history."
That's an absolutely ridiculous claim https://t.co/qavDgaCM8N
And it reads different when you realize Slotkin spent years working for the CIA
She was one of the Democrats who released a video telling service members to "refuse illegal orders" earlier this year
This trolling of legacy media over their "coverage" of the airborne terror attack today is some of the best comedy and sarcasm of all this year. And the pushback is beautiful. Keep it up. The lying legacy well deserves all of it and more. It's impossible to hate the legacy media enough.
The U.N. human rights council is in session, so am waiting for their emergency resolution condemning 180 Israeli passengers for violating Saudi airspace and international law.
@ShabbosK As a learned person
The moment you have the tendency to insult another man's religion or beliefs
To me you are another learned illiterate.
Respect everyone's religion
