And he is, a pro-ICE nut-job. xitter.cf/SlowToWrite/status/201…
God isn’t just against anti-ICE protestors who persecute Christians while they are worshipping at church. He is also against the idealogy of anti-ICE protestors. Christians who condemn the “protestors” but refuse to condemn their ideology should know that.

Mastermind of the largest fraud against the US government in history and Senator from Floriduh, Rick Scott, has a little meltdown about Canada embracing Turkey, who has been a NATO Ally of both Canada and the United States for 74 years. Community notes for the win, again.
Canada is lost. This is what the Left does. Socialism at home is never enough. By embracing Communist China, and now Turkey, PM Carney has turned his back on America & made clear that Canada sides with dictators, terrorists & thugs who threaten the security of the U.S. & sovereignty of our allies.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Turkey is a NATO ally of both the United States and Canada since 1952. Official Canadian statements describe the new Strategic Partnership with Türkiye as deepening cooperation between the two NATO allies on trade, energy, defence and security. pm.gc.ca/en/news/statem… cbc.ca/news/politics/… tr.usembassy.gov/the-united-sta…

I wonder: did this assemblage of miscreants, grifters, clowns & narcissists actually believe this was a legitimate scientific endeavor? Did they suffer from the delusion that any journal would take this ham-handed attempt dress-up whatever it is they do as research seriously?

Trump is glitching out. He's mixing up the Nobel Prize and the Pulitzer. He's claiming that he settled wars that happened in the 90s. His brain is gone.

Hmmm. Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister, Islamic Republic of Iran. "Never in our history have Iran and Russia worked as closely as now."
Hosted FM Lavrov for timely talks in Tehran. We covered everything from Europe to West Asia, including Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine and Yemen. Also focused on expansion of economic and nuclear cooperation. Never in our history have Iran and Russia worked as closely as now.

Down on ALL his key issues, with a BIG drop on "immigration." Down from -12.8% on 10/9 to -15.0% today. Significant drops on "trade" and "the economy" too. "Inflation" isn't moving, but it's already at rock bottom. CONTINUED

Weirdly, approval for the Iran war has improved. I'm guessing that Americans like the fact that the war is now on hold.
