I gave 20 years before they were digging through the graveyard of Gaza once before. Now I give it much less before universities are hosting talks on the digs.
🚨ARCHAEOLOGY X ETHNIC CLEANSING: More illegal initiatives from ASOR's friends at illegal-settlement-based ArielU. Make no mistake: This conference aims to justify Israel's theft of East Jerusalem & Sebastia. It was advertised recently by one of the ASOR 2025 speakers featured in yesterday's EO post👇

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Indiana just sued Pornhub under the state’s AV law, claiming it fails to block Indianans from using VPNs to access the site.
Indiana wrote a bad law that they were warned was grossly ineffective, and rather than admit it or fix it, they’re blaming porn sites.

Put it on every local news station until everyone sees what we’re doing. I hope these people get a trial by their peers and watch what they did in slow-motion.

Fighting the good fight.
One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.
