“SpaceX provides Starlink satellite internet to Iran, with 1,000s thousands of terminals smuggled into the country, and, as of 2026, the service is being provided for free. It's illegal in Iran, but enables users to bypass state internet restrictions.”https://bbc.com/news/articles/c0r4veg0rrzo

It's interesting that Elon Musk who constantly tweets about everything has had nothing to say about the war with Iran.

If Donald Trump's largest funder doesn't even support him then who does?

It's inevitable when you have cats.

Marinette loves to give us the “look” that says:” Yeah, right, you thought this was your seat. Move along.”

Call me crazy but I don't think Donald Trump lawfully won the 2024 election

It's horrifying to see US politicians and pundits evoke the 6 US soldiers killed in their unprovoked war of aggression, while ignoring the 1000s of Iranians killed. It assumes that Americans only care about American lives. Which is evil, obviously.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Three eggs on a granite kitchen counter. The middle egg has a greenish blue shell. The eggs either side are white.

An Araucana hen. It is a white hen walking across some green grass. This isn't our hen; I just haven't been able to take a decent photo of ours yet.

First egg from our adopted¹ Araucana hen. The Araucana egg is the one in the middle by the way. The photo really doesn't do justice to how blue it is. An Araucana hen is shown on the right.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

It makes sense that all of the pedo’s who go to church, with pedo pastors, support a pedo president.

The question is.

Did Trump know the news was going to come out that the DOJ hid 47,000 Epstein Files that implicated him?

So he started a war.

Because the news of this got buried under the Iran war.

Did you notice that.

I noticed that!!!

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

"The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7." is my favorite quote from Guillermo del Toro. I don't think there is another director with whom I so identify. Hearing him talk about movies gets me emotional and his movies really speak to me.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

ICE just grabbed NASHVILLE Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez outside of a gym.

“She was with her husband, a 🇺🇸 citizen — her attorney says she came legally, sponsored by her husband, has a pending green card application.”

She also has a daughter.

Is it just me, or does Hegseth seem to derive sick, twisted pleasure from blowing people up? How often does he watch these videos? Who does he watch them with?
