For far too long Ukraine has been restrained and forced to fight under different rules than Russia. While Russia constantly attacks civilians, apartments, schools, and hospitals, Ukraine was forbidden todo so inorder to get arms to defend itself. Ukraine was forbidden to hurt the Russians in similar ways. Leaving Ukraine to feel all the pain of the war while Russia doesn’t. Recently that has changed. Maybe if Ukraine is allowed to make the Russian public feel as afraid as the Ukrainians, they will tell their government enough. Hugs
Residents of a damaged Kyiv apartment building recovered what remained of their belongings as rescuers sifted through rubble for survivors, a day after a Russian attack killed at least 30 people in the deadliest strike on the city this year.
Israeli thugs! Israel is a criminal rogue nation that must be dealt with. The US must stop all aid, all weapons sales until Israel agrees to live in peace with its nieboros and returns the land it has stolen. These are the criminals that John Fetterman says criticizing is being antisemitic. Bullshit. It is being truthful and honest. Jewish people who fight the abuses of their government and their fellows are not the problem, it is the government of Israel and the Israelies who support it. Hugs
Palestinian Mohammad Salameh was building a home for his family in the Israeli-occupied West Bank for his recently engaged son. Instead, before construction was complete, a group of Israeli settlers seized the property.
Where are all the cries of stolen valor the right likes to throw at real military service? This is the nation’s highest military honor for draft dodging tRump to even mention it soils it. His sons never served either. No one in their family has. They are takers not givers. Typical dictator behavior, giving awards and medals to themselves, rewriting history to prove their greatness hoping to hide what slimy unworthy people they are. As someone who is proud to have served in two branches of the US military this makes me both angry and sad. Hugs
President Donald Trump suggested that he would give himself and either Eric Trump or Donald Trump Jr. the Congressional Medal of Honor to become part of what would be the third father-son pair to be given the award.
“I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. I think I’m going to give one to myself, one to them, and we’ll have a threesome,” Trump said at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, on July 1.
The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military honor and is intended to honor servicemembers that distinguish themselves in combat “conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.”
This is a kids summer camp and the kids seen are very young. The claim is this is an evangelical church in Kentucky doing a mock execution of an illegal immigrant. The kids are chanting “Take him out and blow him up”. The screen says praise the lord and pass the ammo. My question is when did jesus preach hate? I know the bible does, but Christians are to be followers of Jesus and aside from the money changers event Jesus preached love and acceptance of the stranger. Bible traditions said to welcome the stranger. Sodom and Gomorrah is about god being angry the town was not hospitable to the strangers and wanted to dominate them rather than feed / house them.
I googled when did Jesus preach hate and I got this summary. Jesus did not preach hate; rather, He taught love and forgiveness. In Matthew 5:43-44, He instructs, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” emphasizing the importance of loving others, even those who may oppose us. Below was a list of biblical hate passages including two in John. Guess what I read the chapters. The passages were not direct sayings from or attributed to Jesus. So what god are these “Christians” following? As to the YouTuber showing this he is not trans, he is a VTuber and uses an avatar his fans make and like. As all things on the internet it can get weird and he thought that as people kept sending him stuff as a female and a furry he would b=play along with the bit. I skip the fan art stuff at the beginning as that stuff bores me and it is only a few minutes. Hugs
This church performed a mock execution in front of CHILDREN at a BIBLE CAMP. And somehow these people are the ones saying that the left is indoctrinating their kids, meanwhile they normalize public executions to children.
Army General Chris Donahue, the final American soldier to withdraw from Afghanistan, is leaving his post amid an overhaul by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. MS NOW Pentagon Reporter Priya Sridhar has more details. Fmr. Under Secretary of State Richard Stengel and Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha join Alicia Menendez with their thoughts.
New York Times reporters and authors of the new book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, sit down with Jon Stewart to discuss the surprising revelations they uncovered about the Trump administration, like the president being absent from the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, as well as the motivation behind controversial moves like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran war. They also speak to how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone and compare his first term to his second, which they describe as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny – because who else can survive four indictments and two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time?
To me and hopefully to everyone this is horrific. But something I have been highlighting here that Israeli is a rouge terrorist government drying to genocide the Palestinian people. It is horrific that a people who experienced such actions would inflict them on others. But this show what can happen when right-wing movements turn into religious domination of the government. The Israel government is now filled with extreme Jewish religious extremists who feel their holy book grants them all the territory around then that is the sovereign territory of other countries. They feel their god gave it to them thousands of years ago so they have the right to take it. Regardless of laws or norms between countries. They want it so it should be theirs. Just like Putin in Ukraine. Israel talked our demented leader into going into war against their enemy which had no benefit for us but we took all the cost and risks. The military equipment and weapons used in the genocide of the Palestinians was paid for by the US taxpayer. Some quotes below. Hugs
The UN commission said in its report, released on Tuesday, that Palestinian children were deliberately targeted and killed during the war, including after a ceasefire came into effect in October 2025.
“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” said Srinivasan Muralidhar, the commission’s chair, in a statement accompanying the report.
“This indicates that such attacks, which killed children in such high numbers, were intentional,” it said. It added that it believed children were targeted collectively because the Israeli security forces considered the civilian population as a whole to be associated with Hamas and other armed groups.
Muralidhar said that by targeting children, Israel was undermining the capacity of the Palestinian people to exist and to determine their future.
The inquiry also found that attacks on healthcare and reproductive facilities affected newborns’ survival and the reported increase in miscarriages, and that nearly all children in Gaza were reported to be in need of psychological support.
It said Palestinian children, especially boys, were subjected to systemic mistreatment in detention, including forced stripping, beatings and food deprivation.
Sam, Emma and the crew talk about how the world leaders have down graded the importance of the US and our threats against Iran. Now tRump has realized Iran could make a fortune out of charging for passage of the Strait of Hormuz so he has decided he wants that grift for himself. Hugs
