One day it’s Chernihiv

Another it’s Dnipro

This time 9 people have been killed by Russian missiles & drones. 3 of them were children

18 people died in Chernihiv

Sometimes it seems like the world’s moved on. But the attacks on Ukraine have not stopped. This is not ‘normal’.

What we're discussing is Members of Congress who are openly in the tank for U.S. designated terrorist organizations who started and continue a war against a U.S. ally.

At least in the cold war people had the good sense to defect.

After everything we’ve been through this week I just watched a short documentary about Metula, an Israeli town in the north that was evacuated after Oct 7.

Emma is heroic here. It is a shame on the audience they are not applauding here but rather trying to hide. There was a time when people would stand up and applaud and demand the release of Tsurkov who is illegally kidnapped in Iraq. What a shame. A shame on the audience. It…

Israel was able to attack very close to Iran’s nuclear facilities. Israel did not need American military help. Israel did this under the radar without tripping Iran’s air defenses. Iran now knows Israel can strike at will against the regime or nuclear facilities and there wasn’t…

China has Uighars in concentration camps. Russia is kidnapping Ukrainian children, banning their language, and bombing their energy grid. Syria is bombing its own people with Russian and Iranian help.

Yet what's important to remember is how much you hate the Jews fighting Hamas

Let me underscore that all the Israel haters in the world of punditry got everything totally wrong about the attack in Iran.

Netanyahu did not act in an unbridled manner. The attack was surprisingly restrained.

Netanyahu did not act in defiance of the White House as predicted…
