El eurodiputado polaco 🇵🇱 Grzegorz Braun arrancó la bandera de la Unión Europea de un edificio gubernamental, la usó para limpiar sus zapatos y, a continuación, la quemó como un acto soberanía.
En un momento en que la UE presiona a los países miembros con reglas y multas, el gesto de Braun refleja el orgullo polaco en defender su identidad y autonomía.
Afirmó que Polonia no exhibiría los símbolos de lo que llamó una organización oscura.
"Esto es Polonia, no Bruselas". 👏👏👏🔥

In 1976 Amnesty International stated that the Shah of Iran might have as many as 100,000 political prisoners in his various jails. That figure turned out to be about 3,000.
Just a tidbit from Scott Anderson’s book King of Kings on the Iranian Revolution, which is well worth reading. When you hear all these high figures of people killed or held captive in war zones, or in countries into which we have little insight - take them with a grain of salt.

Damn - saw him speak once and tell a questioner ‘you sound like leftwing politics are your religion, that’s what I’m saying is the problem.’ The talk was about civil rights and their limits.
We mourn the loss of Senior Lecturer Richard Allen Posner, a longtime #UChicagoLaw scholar, former federal appellate judge, and pioneer in the field of law and economics, who died on November 10.

Ever been driving somewhere, and you see a place you wish you had time to stop for? Near a pawn shop, a bail bondsman and a massage parlor was a place called Jimmy’s Hidden Treasures. Would love to know what Jimmy’s got in there - but I got places to be.

Spotted a Red-tailed Hawk atop one of the Davis Center light stanchions in Central Park this morning as figure skaters were enjoying the ice below. Caught it as it zipped past...🥰🥰🥰 #Hawks #CentralPark #birdcpp

You won’t galvanize the base nearly as much by going after Hegseth. And if they succeed - they will move on to others, and try to set an example that anyone associated with MAGA is persona non grata.
The old GOP would be delighted to see MAGA jailed and bankrupted.

IMO opinion they are going after Hegseth b/c Trump will be gone from political life soon - and they tried it already and it backfired.
So the strategy is to destroy all the ‘collaborators’ and ensure they’re politically ruined. Many in the GOP want that too.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see an Eastern Towhee out in the open in Central Park. These furtive birds love the undergrowth and rarely offer a clean look. This handsome male even stood up tall for me! 😎😎😎 #Towhee #CentralPark #birdcpp

So a lot of time and $$ was spent lobbying people in the White House and administration to loosen regulations on ‘fruit flavored vapes.’
Think about the limited bandwidth all these very busy administration officials have - and to spend any of it on ‘vape.’
Susie Wiles' old lobbying firm made $186 million under Trump, per @CBSNews analysis of filings. Now it's caught in MAGA's civil war

I don't think Talarico really believes all the weird shit he's said. I think he doesn't believe anything at all, and is willing to say what he finds necessary to advance his career. And I think he's going to keep saying weird things because his party is a mess, and as a white man that's the only way he can survive.
NEW: Sen. @JohnCornyn (R-TX) office releases a photo of him meeting with incoming Sen. @jamestalarico (D-TX) on the Hill today.

Denver socialist congresswoman-elect, Melat Kiros, a Democrat, released a statement condemning the voter-approved propositions in Colorado that aim to keep female school sports female and ban certain trans surgeries for children.
She said the propositions don't protect children but are a "coordinated attack on human rights."
The false "human rights" framework for trans activism was co-developed by transgender and transhumanist billionaire Martin "Martine" Rothblatt. I write about Rothblatt in my new book, The Zizians: Inside a Trans Death Cult.

He robbed 3 banks by passing demand notes to the teller and got less than $3,000. With bank robbery - go big or stay home. If you’re not thinking in terms of Heat - just rob the liquor store.
“It’s not simple to be a chef,” said a Bay Area cook who is hoping to avoid prison time on federal bank robbery charges. sfchronicle.com/food/restaur…

Washington, D.C. (Nov. 9) — A driver rammed into a secure area near the White House. The driver was arrested.
The incident mirrors the 2021 deadly car ramming and knife attack on police at the US Capitol complex by a leftist black nationalist. The incident did not receive much attention from Democrats, despite their sudden support for police after the Jan. 6 riot a few months prior.

Judges in the UK started wearing those wigs during the reign of King Charles II because they were fashionable in the upper classes at the time. Then it just stuck. So now you have a man giving a 10 year sentence while looking a little ridiculous.

We still refer to people who work in the federal government as ‘public servants.’ This is a sick joke. Best case scenario people do jobs that pay less than the private sector but are secure with good benefits. But more and more you have whores exploiting office to get rich.
FULL INTERVIEW: @margbrennan spoke with former White House senior adviser Calley Means, a prominent advocate for the “Make America Healthy Again” movement and former top aide to Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., who resigned from the Trump administration last month.

In the middle of a steady wave of open antisemitism, a single example shows how far the haters are willing to go—and how effectively it can be answered.
Activists in Philadelphia named Jewish-owned restaurants, put “must go” on the flyer, and scheduled it for today, the eve of the Nazi Kristallnacht.
Neighbors and local leaders didn’t shrug. They walked in, bought lunch, filled the tables, and made clear the tactic would not stand. That’s how you fight it. Good read from @trishaposner.
Call for a boycott of Black-owned businesses on Juneteenth. Put on the flyer that they “must go.” You would be finished by lunch. Condemned by everyone. Rightly.
This morning in Philadelphia, activists named six Jewish-owned restaurants, wrote that they “must go,” and picked the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary for their ride.
Most people scrolling past do not even know what Kristallnacht was. Or what the Nazis did on April 1, 1933: stood outside Jewish shops, told Germans not to buy, painted Stars of David on the doors.
A bike ride is not Kristallnacht. But it borrows the playbook. Mark the shop. Warn the public. Call it justifiable.
Philadelphia’s neighbors had a different plan. They walked in the front door and bought lunch.
I write about the lesson in my latest No More Nice Jewish Girl: trishaposner.substack.com/p/…
