As America's 250th birthday was celebrated across our lakes, rivers and coastal waters, Texas Game Wardens maintained a strong presence on those same waters to keep people safe. (1/3)

UPDATE: DHS has released the mugshot and Massachusetts CDL for the Haitian illegal alien truck driver charged w/ killing PA State Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. in a crash. Michael Bon was welcomed into the U.S. by the Biden administration in 2024, flying in via a Biden program.

@acnewsitics Hey @grok, was the man shot today in Maine, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, an American citizen?

If not, could you please tell Alex Cole in the tone and tenor of a pissed off southern woman why he horrifically wrong in every way and should think before he speaks.

[Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter @yechielleiter]

Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts.

1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer.
He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill.

3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms.

4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy.
The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided.

5) Calling me a liar won’t change the facts. I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.

GP I'm simply going to do what I always do and blame the people who have sole power and responsibility to fund government: Congress.

And you're one of the four most powerful people in Congress. You're also one of my two terrible senators.

Guess who I'll be blaming?

[Tony Shaffer 🇺🇲☢️ @tspooky]

@weimanadav lil lying dude, no...I've seen "violence" - I've participated, in combat, in "violence" - that was not "violence" - that is a roadblock that permitted a safe review of identity...
Sit down.
Try harder.
Do better.

This video actually confirms the version I got from numerous sources:

https://t.co/23xdpSTneA

Khanna and his guides intentionally went into a restricted area. They were stopped and detained. The IDF arrived and called the local police to determine what to do.

In the video, the IDF is telling them they need to wait for the police. No one is being harmed or threatened. They are literally just sitting there waiting for police. The activist feels so comfortable that he’s walking around trying to give orders.

Once the police arrived, they were let go.

The idea that the IDF officers who, in this very video, should be arrested or punished for rightly detaining someone who went into a restricted zone just because Khanna feels privileged to do whatever he wants in a foreign country is insane.

[Face The Nation @FaceTheNation]

Rep. Ro Khanna said his office alerted the U.S. embassy in Israel of his visit to the West Bank, where he said he was detained by Israeli settlers, but Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Michael Leiter tells @margbrennan, “There was not an alert. There was a question about visas, that is all.” He adds, “When we requested he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So, that’s unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate.”

Had a few of these replies to my bully throwback picture joke post yesterday. I mean, besides missing the obvious play on words I was doing, there exists no world in which this guy wouldn't have been at the top of my list for screwing with, and tormenting him over his goofiness.
