I highly recommend the audiobook version of Separation of Church & Hate. The content substance is excellent in any format, but John's narration is one of the best vocal performances of a written work I've ever heard--his passion, personality, and comedic style come through vividly, masterfully. 👍

No foreign military has their own base on US soil. And the Qataris won't either. They will have a spot on an existing US Air Force base for their 170 personnel. For comparison, we have >10,000 troops on their base in Qatar.

They'll be fine as there is no new base. The Qataris will be on an existing US Air Force base. All 170 of them. For comparison, we have >10,000 troops on their base in Qatar.

We spend billions more each year for Israel elsewhere. 2 examples: Egypt receives ~1.5 billion from the US each year. For Israel. The US is bailing out Argentina = $20 billion. To be nice? No. 👇

Milei’s wholehearted endorsement of Israel marks a new direction in Argentina’s diplomatic traditions — but it’s not clear what the country is getting in return

I posit part of the reason (yes, just part *ahem*) is that most don't know that Puerto Rico is part of the US & that all Puerto Ricans are US citizens. I've seen posts expressing outrage over a Puerto Rican being grabbed by ICE & people commenting things like "then don't be illegal in the US."

You also don't...

--Host/praise an indicted war criminal
--Promote the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians
--Fund, arm, and provide political cover for genocide
--Set up peace negotiators for assassination
--Perpetrate an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation that posed no threat...

Then there's:

--Hosting/praising an indicted war criminal
--Promoting ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians
--Funding, arming, and providing political cover for genocide
--Setting up peace negotiators for assassination
--Perpetrating an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation that posed no threat...

Perhaps he convinced Ben-Gvir and Smotrich that when Israel wages war with Iran again soon, people will be distracted from the situation in Gaza and Israel can once again gleefully attend to its bloodlust by resuming its genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in Gaza.

The audiobook only came out on September 9th. Possible that it's too new for your library to have yet?

The illusion of support as the world walks out ahead of his lies & vulgar rhetoric. But then, it's all illusions: an apartheid state posing as a democracy (only one in the ME! 😂), an army that mass slaughters children for sport & openly celebrates it billed as the most moral army in the world...

This vote would be in UN General Assembly and requires 2/3rds of the vote. Veto power exists only in the UN Security Council. Thus, the only thing the US can do is vote no.

With respect Senator, complicity is defined as being involved. The US is far past "involvement"--it is an all-in partner in the ethnic cleansing & it doesn't stop there. The US gives Israel impunity for its murder of Americans & history will record this as the US-Israel Genocide of the Palestinians.

Didn't he end the conflict between (and I quote) "Aber-bijan and Albania" too? 😏

Thank you for your opinion, Peter. While our views don't align, I welcome opposing views when delivered in the spirit of conversation/debate and without expletives and ad hominem attacks.

They can't because it isn't. It's a propaganda talking point to further sway those whose confirmation bias it tickles.

Yes, but final solution has the accurate connotation.

They had no impact on the election.

Let's not mince words. It's not a permanent solution, it's a final solution.

Call it out for what it is.

Had nothing to do with the outcome of the election.
