Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd

The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

Respectfully, that’s not exactly how it went down. “Ceasefire” is different than “intifada.”

“From the river to the sea” is NOT calling for a ceasefire.

Not acknowledging what Hamas has done is not “ceasefire.”

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

I wonder if these “ceasefire” students were also demanding that the hostages be released?? I don’t recall seeing any of them speaking up for the hostages, too.

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

A friend in college paid his way by working for a salmon processor in Alaska during the summers. There was very little waste, even including the salmon bits encrusted in the machines found during cleanup, or on the floor/in the mats.

Under no circumstances should you ever eat canned salmon.

I am amazed that 70M or so voters actually thought that man knew thing one about money, and even more amazed at the 90M plus voters who sat it out or voted 3rd party because reasons.

They were "branded" as antisemites because of their antisemitism. They were "branded" as racists because of their watermelon slice racism. They cared not a bit for Gaza, which Trump openly campaigned on destroying. Their purpose was to undermine Democrats, especially President Biden and VP Harris.

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

The servicemembers who are conducting these strikes need to be told, explicitly, by Dems in Congress that they have criminal liability, because they do

What monsters, that’s just vile, Malcolm.🫂Their behavior reminds me of those vile anti-abortion protesters who try to shame women.

Thank you for providing people a safe path to that event.
