It’s not conspiratorial to suggest that Israel is behind the Kirk assassination. It’s Logical.

Look at who gains from this heinous act, the one who protests too much.

After commenters deriding the appearance of TX NG troops made photos of their deployment to Chicago go viral, the Texas Military Department quietly recalled and replaced them

For their appearance.

They didn’t send the Guard to serve.
They sent them to be seen.

Should be the other way around. Folk should hold weapons on ICE until they identify themselves.

Does it matter that’s he’s a priest?

Jenn the Queen @jennb.bsky.social · 2d

Despicable. 😒

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick:
The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.
THE RESISTANCE:
A priest is seen with his arms extended in prayer. A DHS agent takes aim, fires a pepper ball, directly hitting the priest's head
The priest collapses, grabbing his head in pain as agents laughed.

Hostilities will resume as soon as the hostages are returned.

Bibi made this mess, he won’t allow it to end or Palestine to emerge. His life depends on it.

There is no shortage of failed peace plans in occupied Palestine, all of them incorporating detailed phases and timelines, going back to the presidency of Jimmy Carter.

Sorry, is there a question here?

27 children died.

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

Texas youth camps say cost of implementing new safety requirements will force them to close

He’ll be a bigger prick than usual. I had the flu and vid together and the next day was a bitch.

He’ll likely crash the economy or something.

Smartest thing he has ever done.

That explosives plant that blew up in Tennessee is shocking. Industrial accidents on this scale can destroy the towns as well as the families. 😢

Imagine sending your folk off to work and they just don’t come home. So sad.

I’m with you. But I don’t have a corrupt lunatic as a leader either.

I still think the US should wind back many of its off shore bases. For economic reasons if nothing else.

Hippie Grandpa. @hippiepappa.bsky.social · 3d

They should NOT have bases in us…… 🤦🏼‍♂️
