Tennessee GOP Rep. Andy Ogles says Muslims β€˜don’t belong’ in America The Tennessee Republican recently introduced legislation banning immigration from some Muslim-majority nations.

They’re not even pretending any more. Americans are racist as fuck.

See, Israel already has the atom bomb.

So why go to war to stop Iran having one? Just so Israel won’t be threatened to stop its genocide in Gaza?

Oil prices soar past $100 a barrel as war escalates in Iran | CNN Business The price of oil kept climbing Monday, having surged past $100 per barrel Sunday, the first time it crossed that mark since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

If you’re having trouble affording gas,
if you’re eating less to fill up your tank,
never forget ISRAEL did this to you.

β€˜Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

All this, because Iran went HALF as far as Israel in making an atom bomb. (Israel tested its bomb in 1979.)

End Israel. End the Islamic Republic. Both should not exist.

Now tell me, when Israel does this to the Tehran sky, do you think Iranians will shrug it off, or all the more desire a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv?

Israelis are such scummy killers that they have vowed to kill Iran's next leader NO MATTER WHO IT IS. Zionists don't think before they kill.

Safe, yes
Protected, yes
Respected, NO!

There is no legal right to respect, and religion is responsible for a lot that is disrespectful. So that’s wrong.

Trump vague on Iran’s β€˜unconditional surrender’ as he refuses to rule out US troop deployment US president leaves open possibility of US troop deployment in Iran, while ruling out having Kurdish forces in Iraq mount an invasion US-Israel war on Iran

When did the USA get β€œunconditional surrender”?

Only once: after it dropped two atom bombs on Japan, under the Potsdam Declaration.

This may be the dictator’s plan.

Canadian Leaders Finally Talked About Racism in Quebec and It Got Heated At the first French-language debate, Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet went after Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh, pushing them to declare that Quebecers aren't racist.

Why some in the federal NDP fear they are on the verge of being wiped out in Quebec The province's sole NDP MP is considering a jump to provincial politics.

Remember when I called Quebec racist and Jagmeet Singh condemned me doing so?

He pandered. He made the NDP sound like Liberals.

Now the NDP is failing in Quebec?

LOL I AM JUST DYING πŸ˜‚

Islamophobia alert!

Why is it β€œfundamentally a good thing” for any form of an Islamic republic to disappear, when a Jewish republic (Israel) is not just tolerated but supported, even for its war crimes?

This needs an explanation.

Intel report warns large-scale war β€˜unlikely’ to oust Iran’s regime A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign.

β€˜Shia Crescent’ grapples with fear and anger after Iran’s upheaval Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death leaves a sectarian wound that some suspect will fester into new violence

In the eyes of many Shia Muslims, the US-Israeli war on Iran feels a lot like a war on their religion.

"When they killed Khamenei, it’s like they killed our pope."

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Very seldom is Russia the good guy, but in giving Iran intelligence to defend itself against the USA's illegal war, this time it is. (Paying America back for Ukraine, and not Moscow's high morals, being the reason.) www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I'm calling bullshit. Quebec lags all the large provinces (except BC) on women in the workforce, even with the generous child care it has. There are clearly cultural issues (i.e. Catholicism) at play. www.canada.ca/en/treasury-...

You're missing the point. The majority held that though Quebec's childcare law made a distinction on refugee status, it was nonetheless illegal sex discrimination because of a breakthrough interpretation of intersectionality. Which is why it's wrong to parse the hijab ban as racism vs sexism.

Not the way the Supreme Court sees it. It's intersectional, meaning racism plus sexism. And Quebec of course knows this but does not give a shit.
