How The US-Iran War Ends? Enter The Dragon A Peoples Republic of China intervention could quickly end the US-Isareli War without firing a shot.

Who can stop the US-Iran war?
China.

My article about how they could displace America as the trusted ally of peace in the world in a matter of weeks. Not joking.

Hochul on Tariffs: I was in the room when he found out he lost. He got the piece of paper, looked down at it, and said, β€œYou know, the Supreme Court just ruled. Looks like they ruled against us.”

He took a couple of questions on other topics, but then he stormed out of the room.

NEW: Today marks 61 years since Bloody Sunday.

On this day, protestors in Alabama were brutally attacked by police. They marched anyway to secure something sacred: their voting rights.

But as we mark their sacrifice, SCOTUS threatens to squander it, Chika Okafor writes. https://bit.ly/4lfbwWA

Ruben Ray Martinez was shot and killed by ICE a year ago β€” video contradicts their account, as it did with Pretti and Good.

Pledged today to help a senior dog whose owner dumped her at the shelter so he could get a puppy. We really need to start talking about the current human condition because it is bleak

One thing many people don’t realize:

(At least in CA)

A stray dog must be held for a couple weeks in case the owner comes calling

A surrendered dog can be killed immediately because the owner has relinquished their rights.

So the most wonderful dogs are often killed first for space.

#COTD Porcini was an owner surrender. When she tested positive for FeLV, the owner tried to give her up to another shelter, but they refused to take her. Now she’s with us and loves taking naps on kurandas whether it’s inside or outside.
