If the US doesn't like being referred to as "The Great Satan" maybe we should try not electing the Antichrist to be our President!

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

Tweet from Ayman Odeh: "ביום חמישי האחרון היה פיגוע דריסה בבית הכנסת ״טמפל ישראל״ במישיגן. היום היה ניסיון פיגוע בבית ספר יהודי באמסטרדם וגם בבית כנסת ברוטרדם.

למזלנו, שלושת האירועים הסתיימו ללא נפגעים.

אבל חשוב לי להיות ברור: אין שום הצדקה למעשים הנתעבים הללו נגד אנשים חפים מפשע.

הקהילות היהודיות אינן אשמות במדיניות של ממשלת ישראל, שכל מטרתה לחרחר מלחמה, להעמיק את הכיבוש ולהביא לכולנו עוד דם, סבל ודמעות. זו ממשלה שלא אכפת לה מהחיים ומהביטחון, לא של התושבים כאן ובוודאי שלא של הקהילות היהודיות בעולם.

תפקידנו כמנהיגים הוא להבטיח עתיד בטוח, עתיד של שלום וצדק אמיתי לכולם.

אני מחזק את הקהילות שנפגעו וקורא לכל האנשים, כאן ובכל מקום בעולם, להתנגד באופן נחרץ לגזענות. 

בסופו של דבר, כולנו באותה סירה במאבק נגד השנאה."

Beautiful statement from Ayman Odeh, Palestinian MK and head of Hadash-Taal. For those who do not read Hebrew, I will translate:

Even the conservative Wall Street Journal understands the havoc wealth inequality is wreaking on our economy and society.

It’s far past time to unrig the system. https://www.wsj.com/finance/billionaires-low-taxes-are-becoming-a-problem-for-the-economy-27a560ca

Labor’s budget test will be to confront inequality or let populism grow Economic inequality is reshaping Australian politics. The May Budget will decide whether Labor tackles it — or leaves the door open to populism.

If @albomp.bsky.social's @australianlabor.bsky.social government doesn't tackle inequality in a substantive way, then hypocrisy apart, how can they be differentiated from the billionaires' parties? independentaustralia.net/politics/pol... #auspol

Congress could sink Chagos deal under new powers

Senator proposes law that would give Washington effective veto over archipelago's transfer of sovereignty "When two countries shake hands on a treaty, one of them can't start changing the terms without the other country agreeing to it," he said.

"That's just common sense. That's why I take issue with the United Kingdom trying to give our joint military base on Diego Garcia to a pal of Xi Jinping's – all without getting the US Senate's consent.

"My bill would make sure that our friends in the UK don't modify our treaty and hand this gift to China without giving the Senate a say."

The hypocrisy is breathtaking coming from a country which has specifically said it doesn't need to abide by international treaties.

Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”

Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”

And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”

Trump went to Kentucky to campaign against Thomas Massie yesterday. Today, the betting market shows that Massie’s odds of winning jumped from about 53% to 66% after the rally. 😂

I analyzed 1,500 "pizza" mentions in the Epstein files. Here's what I found. Forget the Pizzagate codes. The real, dark story is hiding in plain sight.

@jamespwest.bsky.social pulled every “pizza” reference from the DOJ’s searchable Epstein website, then reviewed and labeled them—bank statements, emails, spam, legal filings, text chains.

What’s in abundant evidence is that Epstein’s crimes were horrific. But a pizza conspiracy? Not so much.
