With 1.5 million + casualties thus far, adding 1-2.5 thousand each week, who besides Trump on the International stage is working to end the killing? You should be appreciative of the effort, every second spent talking instead of shooting. I am.

It means the same thing, even when you use it. You start with a non-sequitur point that most could agree with, but then you go too far. There is no prior history of our country allowing monsters to enter and prey on the most vulnerable of its populace. Quite the contrary, in fact.

You might want to save a little bit for later. The news is likely to get even more depressing for you in time.

There are no conspiracies, there are no coincidences.

Couldn’t say. I doubt anything groundbreaking will come from either.

Finance Minister and Minister in the Defense Ministry Betzalel Smotrich said on Monday that Israel is preparing for a large-scale attack on the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip. “We will not repeat the mistakes of the past in managing the war and will not transfer logistical supplies to Hamas. This time, b’ezrat Hashem – until victory and the implementation of President Trump’s plan to encourage immigration and the transfer of millions of Gazans far from our border to other countries. We are advancing in preparations for the implementation of the plan, budgeting for it, and will carry it out in a comprehensive manner.” “This is the only solution for Gaza. We will no longer allow a people full of hatred and lust for murder to sit here on our border and plan the next massacre.” https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2376854/smotrich-were-preparing-a-return-to-war-conquest-of-gaza-strip.html There’s a new sheriff in town.

Babylon Bee: Federal Judge Orders Astronauts Be Returned To Space Station U.S. — A district judge has issued a ruling saying Trump lacked the Constitutional authority to pick up two astronauts who have been stranded at the International Space Station for several months. SpaceX has been ordered to return the astronauts immediately. "I will not stand by while Donald Trump abuses his power like a dictator," said Judge Earl Flanders in his ruling. "Trump has no authority to pick up these astronauts, and I can say that because I'm a federal judge, and no one is allowed to argue with me, and everyone has to do what I say." Eyewitnesses say the judge then donned a Keffiyeh and spray painted a Cybertruck while screaming "Black Lives Matter." Sources in Washington say Trump plans to brazenly ignore the lawful order and bring the astronauts home anyway. "This is just the kind of wanton lawlessness we should expect from a dictator who is literally Hitler," said one legal analyst. The SpaceX craft docked at the ISS on Sunday and was preparing for the return journey to Earth when the orders stopped the process short. "Please bring us home, I just want a cheeseburger and a nap in a horizontal bed," said one of the crew. At publishing time, Trump was polling at 100% approval among the stranded astronaut demographic. https://babylonbee.com/news/judge-orders-astronauts-be-returned-to-space-station
