WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THE US COAST GUARD ENTERING OUR SOVEREIGN WATERS AND DETAINING A CANADIAN?
THIS NEEDS YOUR ATTN

JonZoidberg @jonzoidberg.xyz · Jul 25

A Canadian fisherman was 15 km off the US coast and very close to Canadian soil, when the US Coast Guard rammed his boat, capsized it, arrested him and put him in a cell for hours.

This should be an international incident that ends with a rebuke of this regime.

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

remind me what percentage of the annual tax increase includes the portion that covers the development fees that now taxoayers gave to oay jnstead if the developers. Is it 2.5%? If it is 2.5% then the city is only asking for 2% which is too small to make a dent in addressing our infrastructure needs

On Friday, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio announced on his podcast that because "it seems like [the] Portland Police Bureau is not doing their job," "the Proud Boys will be coming back to Portland" in "one capacity or another."

But the middle class American doesn't notice, because he's too busy spitting on the lower class who he has been conditioned to blame.

since my parents and relatives are German and they lived through Hitler's regime I learned early on the sign to watch for in rising authoritarianism.
Incredibly sad that America has fallen to these evils
