In all seriousness, it seems as though the leader of a nation has dementia and is the victim of elder abuse at this point. He is surrounded by people intentionally deceiving and manipulating him in order to push forth their authoritarian agenda. How can nobody do anything about this?!

That’s because you’ve never seen a cult take over the government. When are you going to figure out that playing politics with cult members doesn’t work? Do you even understand how you take down a cult?

Just like Netanyahu calling all his critics and detractors “Hamas”. Palestine is the test to see how much dehumanization the world will tolerate. We’re next if we don’t stand against the destruction of our planet and its various species.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Just finished reading The Human Toll of the Gaza War: Direct and Indirect Death from 7 October 2023 to 3 October 2025, written by Neta C. Crawford.

Netanyahu calls his detractors “Hamas”, 47 calls his “Antifa”. We’re next.

“If they come to a compromise that doesn’t include very clear protections for the money to be appropriated and spent as they direct, then nothing else they get out of it is going to matter, because the White House will just impound the money again,”

If you want to move the country forward, don’t take advice from a Zionist.

Have you filed an amicus brief to protect our National Guard from being federalized?

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.
