Extremists of any religion are dangerous.

Was it Little Marco who said the religious clerics in Iran are lunatics? Anyone who truly follows Jesus's teachings would shun Trump. While the theocracy in Iran is extreme and has been since 1979, I can guarantee you that there are plenty of Christian extremists here who would gladly do the same.

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks by Iran within the United States:

β€œI guess… Like I said, some people will die.”

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we weren’t going to worry about β€œstupid rules of engagement” anymore.

$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?

Priorities.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

According to the regime, "interest" in the Epstein files has dropped dramatically since Trump started his unauthorized war.
Really?
Not for me. Anyone else?
Do not let him distract attention from this. That was the whole point of his war. #Epstein is the key to it ALL.

WARNING: graphic description here of an alleged sexual assault.

This is what the DOJ scrubbed from the Epstein files. They just posted the 3 missing interview summaries after Bondi was subpoenaed.

Why did they scrub it in the first place? Because it mentions Trump and this...

Kristi Noem has been fired but don't be fooled

Under DHS
Coast Guard
FEMA
Secret Service
TSA
U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to process immigrants are ignored

ALL efforts & budget are focused on ICE domestic terrorism & NO Due Process on Immigration enforcement

These are Trump's policies

Trump: This has been a debacle at DHS and it’s killing my approval rating and presidency. I need to bring in a superstar. I need the most qualified, talented and outstanding person in America to get this turned around. Get Markwayne on the phone.

Exactly. Or unarmed ships where the crew was just doing a public relations stint.

The reason we have β€œstupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

(Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Between 1848 and 1849, at least 12 enslaved African American women and girls were subjected to invasive experimental surgeries without anesthesia. The so-called β€œFather of Modern Gynecology,” J. Marion Sims, conducted these horrific experiments. /1

Epstein was in bed with/financed by Russia and Israel. It is extremely likely both have copies of the worst possible videos/photos. This is why you never want a U.S. president that is leveraged by at least half of our enemies. this is costing us.

The House just defeated the Iran War Powers Resolution.

A tragic mistake, but it is not a war authorization.

Under the Constitution, Trump's war remains illegal without authorization from Congress.

Congress shouldn't vote to fund a war it has not authorizedβ€”not another penny.

- You don't know that! Don't tell us what we're going to feel!

β€œThey’ve lied to the American people. We are clearly at war.”

@premthakker.bsky.social asked Rep. Pat Ryan whether the illegal strike on an Iranian naval ship violated the law of war.

Breaking news; New evidence shows that it was a USA bomb that blew up the school with upto 200 little girls. Motive not known yet. In Iran some people are saying the Epstein Class hates little girls they are either sexually abuses or killed.

Rep. Moskowitz congratulates Noem on her Shield of the Americas appointment, which he’s β€œpretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie."

As β€œthe worst Secretary of Homeland Security” readies herself for her next on-camera role, will anything actually change at DHS?

Trump β€˜not happy with’ Kristi Noem and mulling short list of replacements: report Trump said he β€˜never knew anything about’ Kristi Noem’s $220 million ad campaign, despite her testimony that he signed off on it

To be clear, the puppy killer Kristi Noem wasn't fired because she was incompetent or misused her powers.

Trump fired her because she implicated him during her testimony, by stating he knew about the $220M ad campaign and signed off on it.
