Wait, so that makes it the second time they’ve busted a bunch of nursing schools selling fake diplomas?

Is that why every single staff member in the hospital seems to be an Indian that has no idea what they’re doing?

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after an elderly man who stopped at Walmart after church, told a Black female employee she'd nearly hit his wife with a cart and never apologized...

...the teen called her PARENTS who then BEAT THE ELDERLY MAN TO DE*TH in front of his wife of 42 YEARS!!!!

Yes, you read that right.

He asked a teenager to say "excuse me" and the teens parents k*lled him for it.

His name was Bert Atienza. He was 77 years old.

He and his wife Josephine had been married for FORTY-TWO YEARS and on Sunday, June 7th, they went to church.

Then they stopped at the Walmart to do their grocery shopping.

Josephine says a 17-year-old Black female employee came through with a heavy cart and nearly slammed into her.

No "excuse me." No apology. Nothing.

So Bert did what husbands do, he spoke up for his wife.

In his wife's words, he told that girl: "You almost hit my wife with your heavy cart, and you did not even say excuse me or apologize to her."

Josephine says the teenager then THREW A CAN at them as they walked away. It missed.

The elderly couple, not wanting any trouble, just kept shopping.

Minutes later, that girl's PARENTS showed up at the store, found the 77-year-old man and beat him to de*th.

In his wife's words:

"They crowded my husband, one of the adults hit him in the face. He fell down on the floor. I was terrified. I don't know what's going on."

The Medical Examiner's ruling: blunt head trauma.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

The debate over Flock cameras is ridiculous because their proponents can't explain how they will do anything to solve the actual problem, which is this

Crime is a solved problem: when you hang a criminal, he can no longer commit any crimes

We refuse to do that because it is "mean," and so the pushers of anarchotyranny release these sorts dozens of times as they commit repeated horrific crimes

We need stronger spines, not more pictures of the same criminals committing the same crimes. A short drop and sudden stop will fix what pictures can't, and there is no technological cure for a spiritual problem

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.

How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.

Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.

An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.

For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.

By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.

So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.

How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.

At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.

It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.

CAN SOMEONE ACTUALLY EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS LEGAL.

A guy at work pays $210 a month for full coverage auto insurance.

That's $2,520 every single year just to stay legal on the road.

Last week, someone clipped his parked car in a lot and drove off. Total bumper damage: $1,200.

He called his provider to file a claim.

Their response: "Your comprehensive deductible is $1,000, and your monthly premium will likely go up if you report this."

So he paid $1,000 out of pocket to fix damage he didn't cause, while paying $2,500 a year for "protection" he couldn't even use without getting penalized.

You're literally paying a monthly fee for the right to cover your own repairs.

South Africa could have become a continent-spanning bastion of excellence and achievement in a world dementedly attached to the equality millstone

After all, the Afrikaners built space and nuclear programs in a land where, before them, the tallest structure was a termite mound. They could have spread that civilization had they remained a bulwark of it against the rising tide of equality and communism

They tried this, at times. They fought bravely in Namibia and Angola

But they didn't always have it in them. They were lured away from resolute anti-communism by the siren song of detente, and in their case it proved deadly, for it convinced them to try to make peace with the communists rather than remain in Rhodesia's corner

And so Rhodesia died as a result of their machinations alongside Kissinger, and when it fell they were completely alone. Soon they got Mandela, and with Mandela came the beginnings of the Cultural Revolution that today risk sending South Africa back to the Stone Age

What might have been! with Rhodesia secure, they could have pushed North to the rich copper belt of Zambia and the vast, fertile fields of Nyasaland. They could have even pushed back into Katanga, from which the Belgians were forced, and achieved dominion over all those valuable minerals

Imagine! A civilization stretching from the Cape to the Congo, secure in its position because it controlled all the valuable minerals of the world, from gold to cobalt, tin to copper. Such an entity could not have been bludgeoned by sanctions as South Africa was, and if nuclear-armed, as apartheid South Africa was, invasion would be a non-issue.

Such a land, not dragged down by the millstone of equality's siren song, could have been glorious. It could have continued to advance as the rest of the world, attached to the false god of equality, destroyed itself. As has already been happening with it and Rhodesia to a certain extent in the Commonwealth, it would have been a land to which the capable and excellent fled to escape the expropriatory tax policies and public security-shredding equality policies of their regimes.

Perhaps we'd already be on Mars, for it would have been an achievement-oriented society rather than one premised on knocking down every tall poppy

Instead, it got Mandela. And now clean drinking water can't even be reliably provided
