This betting on everything seems like a terrible idea, and those who bet without inside information are fools.

Macron says France will allow temporary deployment of nuclear-armed jets to European allies French President Emmanuel Macron says France will allow the temporary deployment of its nuclear-armed aircraft to allied countries as part of its new nuclear strategy.

This looks bad.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Ira

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran.

Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period.

Anyone running for President next needs to have this as part of their platform. If its not done this time, we will be lost.

A template? So they will leave the old guard in place (we did not kill them all) and just let the people continue to suffer as we do what we want, take what we want.

This is some kinda deluded thinking. You could say that the various wars in the middle east have been going on forever, spured on by God. But jumping in now is us starting something ....which they call a war, even though it was not approved by Congress.

I'm assuming that they didn't turn on autocorrect or editor. That's idiotic when dealing with the court. I've not seen anything like this. Maybe one mistake, but these people tend not to care. Its a disrespect of the courts. You learn this in High School and College. Its sloppy.

So what other reason is there to hate him in this way? Is he defending the tattoo? If not, then move on.

Well, if he covered it, then that's a different story. Maybe it was a mistake. Likely he didn't know. But what's important is his reaction upon finding out and seeing the reaction. If he covered it, then good. If there are other things wrong with him, they should come out now.

No plan, no research, no understanding of what happens next. Not surprised.

Ivermectin is making a post-pandemic comeback, among cancer patients The anti-parasitic drug became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now being embraced as an alternative treatment for cancer. It is as politically polarizing as ever.
