من أعجب برأيه ضل ،
ومن استغنى بعقله زل ،

ومن سفه على الناس شتم ،
ومن خالط العلماء وقر ،
ومن خالط الأنذال حقر ،
ومن حمل ما لا يطيق عجز

The U.S. has sent Israel $352 billion.
THINK of what that money could have done to help struggling Americans here at home.
The US government is bleeding American taxpayers dry to send OUR money to their Israeli masters.
A total citizen rebellion is the only way this will ever end.
This is who led us into this war.
Trump could fix this mistake now by just walking away from the war & cutting off Israel.
The best time to stop any self destructive habit is always the present moment.
🇪🇸🇫🇷 Spain is starting to look a lot like France now.
People in Barcelona are hitting the streets tonight.
Things are getting out of hand, with shops in the city center getting looted now.
Hard to tell what this is about anymore.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 America’s top counterterrorism office was reportedly told to stop investigating foreign ties to the Charlie Kirk assassination... and Trump may have read that killing as a warning not to walk away from the Iran war...
The president got shot in the ear at Butler, a second gunman got close at West Palm Beach, his security was breached in public more than once, and then the man in his inner circle arguing hardest against another round with Iran was killed on a stage.
Joe Kent, who ran the National Counterterrorism Center until this year, says his own office hit a wall:
"We were stopped. We were told, hey, it's a lone gunman. You know, we've nothing else to see here."
Joe says he can't prove a network was behind it, but any analyst assessing a foreign leader with that sequence of events would assume it shaped his thinking, and he believes Trump never wanted this war and understands a message when one is sent.
He won't rule out Israel one day targeting a US official either, though he thinks the money works too well for them to need it... yet.
On the claims about Lindsey Graham surfacing since his death, Joe's question is why material that damaging never leaked while he was alive and voting for every war.
Joe says Washington always had a simple way to stop Israel from starting a war: take back the American air defense batteries that protect it, so Israel would have to spend its own missiles on defense instead of attack.
That option was written up before the 12-day war and never used, and he says that is how America got dragged into this one.

🇮🇷 There are signs of diplomacy this morning trying to avert another escalation in the Iran conflict

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 Netanyahu won’t comment on the Iran strike plan while Iranian lawmakers and IRGC-linked media keep Dimona, Israel’s nuclear reactor, on the target list... a strike there could spread radiation into Jordan and pull Israel’s own nukes into the war
Iranian missiles have landed around Dimona before but, as far as anyone can tell, never on the French-built reactor itself, and a hit there is the one move that could very possibly bring an Israeli nuclear response.
David Gibbs, a historian of US foreign policy, says the longer this war runs, the stronger one argument gets inside Tehran:
“The hardliners would say, see? We told you so. If we had nuclear weapons, we would never have had these attacks.”
David now thinks an Iranian bomb is more likely than not, with North Korea on one side of the ledger and Gaddafi on the other.
He adds that Iran doesn’t need a bomb to make the Gulf unlivable, because its missiles can already reach the desalination plants, and that is where he expects Iran’s answer to any Israeli nuclear use would come.
A war meant to stop an Iranian bomb is now the best recruiting pitch for one.
Here is the link to Alexander Grable's excellent paper analyzing the cold hard realities of Ukraine War casualties.
His analysis strongly confirms the arguments @ArmchairW and I have made since 2022.

🇯🇴 One of the gunmen involved in Jordan church shooting was stopped by a weapon malfunction
He was fully ready to join the slaughter attheHamouddd Church funeral, stopped only because his pistol jammed.
ISIS claimed the attack and clearly wanted as high a body count as possible!
Police are currently undertaking a HUGE MAN HUNT to find these killers.

🇮🇹 Milan just turned into a fortress overnight...
Store owners are putting plywood over the glass at Oysho, Zara, Rimowa, and Levi’s because another riot is coming and they already know how this movie ends.
They’re bracing for the same masked packs that smashed and looted their way through the city last weekend.

@MarioNawfal What was the sin of these innocent people who were performing their religious rituals in church, only to be killed by criminal terrorists who then escaped?
🚨🇯🇴 At least 7 KILLED after gunmen OPEN FIRE inside a church in southern Jordan...
Attackers armed with AK-47s sprayed bullets for several minutes before fleeing.
Graphic footage from inside shows some of the victims covered in blood.
A massive man hunt is now under way... 💔

JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel should be afraid when Trump is gone, because there won’t be such a “friendly President” after him
Host: Are you afraid of what will happen after Trump?
Netanyahu: Are you not afraid?
Host: Even if it's JD Vance?
Netanyahu: I'm telling you with certainty: there has never been a president this friendly, and I doubt there will ever be one like him again. So we have to prepare for a rainy day, and I'm preparing for it.
