The swarm of blackhawks over Grant Park in downtown Chicago is not only unnecessary, but menacing AND inflammatory as well. But that is Trump’s whole point isn’t it? Happening right NOW!

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

“Judea and Samaria”

So, he’s only allowed to be in one part of Palestine and you get to decide that the other part which you are illegally occupying is off limits. Gotcha.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

We never incited violence, we just called this guy a member of antifa who funded terrorism and told our followers to pay him a visit ha ha and then a totally unrelated group of people threatened to murder him in front of his students ha ha

"The petition to disband our Turning Point chapter is blatantly defamatory," Ava Kwan, outreach coordinator for the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"The accusations of 'inciting violence' and 'making threats' are complete lies," Kwan said. "The same people claiming we're suppressing their free speech are actively trying to silence us for speaking the truth. It's not just ironic, it's hypocritical and absurd."

tpusa_rutgers Do you want to become a socialist? If so, make sure to pay this professor a visit!!!! All jokes aside help us report this professor who has ties to Antifa which now is designated as a domestic terrorist organization. DO YOUR PART AND HELP MAKE RUTGERS A PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS TO LEARN WITHOUT BECOMING A RADICAL SOCIALIST

I mean, circumcision shouldn’t be legal to be performed on a child who is unable to consent to such a procedure, but if you’ll allow me one question regarding this…:

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Terms with indefinite timeframes just means Israel will abuse the timeframe and ultimately not follow through like literally every previous time.

The Gaza ceasefire deal is a "renewed Oslo process with an even lower political ceiling," says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani.

I voted for John Fetterman in 2022. I will donate to and campaign for ANY primary challenger for him (assuming elections still matter), and if it fails and he wins, I will not vote for him in 2028. He is a vile and contemptible monster.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

So, a 79-year-old junior senator in 2027 is Dem establishment's play for Maine??? SERIOUSLY???

77-year-old Maine Gov. Janet Mills has apparently been coaxed into jumping into the Maine Senate race, challenging Graham Platner in a Democratic primary.

The 40-year-old Platner has become a favorite of progressives and Democrats wanting a more muscular response to Trump. He has raised millions.

Love his whole “I’ve been to Gaza, have you” routine.

I don’t need to go to the Sudan to know there’s a famine and I don’t need to go to Gaza to know it’s a Genocide.Glad you enjoyed your curated and guided tour by the IDF. Must have been a nice little bit of tourism.
