To be abundantly clear, I am not saying Senator Graham is an agent of a foreign power. What I am asking is how this excerpt differs materially from a description of the behavior of an agent recruited and run by a foreign power.

i mean, it's time to admit that the reason the ADL/AJC went after mamdani *without even a second thought about it* isn't some second-order thing where it's all about stifling criticism of israel.

it's because these orgs are run by bigots who have a deep, ingrained hatred of muslims

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Sounds like the regime is trying to solicit an attack on US soil…

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police installed in Capitol at 4 a.m. The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

The Jan. 6 plaque honoring police was just installed in the Capitol β€” at 4 a.m.:

Three years since Congress ignored its own deadline, the memorial plaque recognizing the service of law enforcement on Jan. 6 is finally on display in the very building they defended from a mob of Trump supporters.

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

	Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities β€” prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack.

Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes.

Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.

The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US β€œhyperscalers” that dominate the global cloud computing market.

That could create a chilling effect on the UAE and Saudi Arabia’s plans to spend billions of dollars on local AI infrastructure in the coming years, a crucial plank of the oil-rich states’ efforts to diversify their economies.

β€œThe Iranians view data centres as part of the conflict,” said Matt Pearl, a director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank.

Every former ally is learning what most Americans know: Trump is a dangerous fool who only serves himself and never the best interests of our beloved country. We can only hope that one day they will forgive us for letting this poisonous creature into our White House again.

Was the US behind the strike on a girls’ school in Iran?
YouTube video by Channel 4 News Was the US behind the strike on a girls’ school in Iran?

In case you had any doubt, literally all available evidence points to the U.S. bombing that school.

The only real question was whether it was Israel or the U.S., but it was almost certainly the U.S.
