Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Thank you for sharing my testimony!
We are currently living in The Age of Incompetent Hypocrites.
Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.
BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.”
It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.
If you are doing the Nestle boycott this week, this should help!

We need to ask these people every single day until September 30, 2025 why they voted "yes"... #Shutdown #Revolt #Resist
13 state capitals are holding elections for mayor in 2025. The cities range in size, from Boston, Massachusetts, with nearly 700,000 residents, to Helena, Montana, with roughly 34,500. Election dates are scattered across the year.
To the democratic leaders and those who voted for the censure of Rep. Al Green, We the people do not want restraint- we want you to burn the mf down! Now is not the time to be polite. If you don't start stepping up you will be voted out! Grow a spine Democrats!!!
Trump has signed an executive order to clear-cut 280 million acres of trees (even endangered species) in National Forests and other projected lands.
Everything this administration does is to troll Americans who didn't vote for Trump. Like, say, environmentalists.
