The Patriots, namely Drake Maye, choked that game away. With their schedule, they really didn’t want that to happen. The great Barry Melrose has passed away. The US Open semifinals are all set. The Astros lost again, but thankfully so did the Rangers. And Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Stuttgart all won their UCL openers. And I guess that’s it for sports.
I’ll believe it when I see it. The first step would be to start voting with the other side instead of just talking about how bad his own party is.
Well, no shit. Anybody who says otherwise has been in a coma or is profiting from the changes.

Suck it, New Jersey. Now turn the tables and bankrupt the officials trying to pull this nonsense.
“Is about to” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. In fact, I’d go so far as to call the claim an outright lie.
Rules for thee, but not for me. It makes more sense when you google image search the city council leader.
I wonder if he’ll get a reprimand. Just kidding. He’ll probably win an award and get promoted.

“most see a changed country and some success fighting terrorism”
Groundbreaking shit.
“saw Dylan Mulvaney in a sports bra”
This is something that happened?
Oh yeah. He was in a Nike ad prancing around in a sports bra and leggings. Very cringe, as the kids say.
I looked it up. More like a tank top. Didn’t even have tits then.
For those of you not in contact with academia:
When someone is described as a “lecturer,” especially when there are multiple campuses given, the person is a non-tenure track part-time employee. Employed because they can’t even hire Mexicans for a lower wage.
Lecturer is even lower than Adjunct.
Maybe making smirking calls for someone to kill another conservative figure will get him a tenure track position!
IME, once you’re relegated to lecturer you can never move up. Hiring committees are much more likely to hire a fresh PhD than someone tainted by such low status.
Now do a map targeting congressional districts.
Yeah, if you aren’t working on a post-doc at least, you are not getting a tenure track.
Adjunct and lecturer are the Home Depot Mexicans of academia.
Home Depot Mexicans do real work. You’re not getting an adjunct lecturer to haul roofing tiles.
You haven’t meet a desperate adjunct.
The adjuncts I knew had day jobs in their relevant fields and worked as professors for extra money. My Criminal Justice courses were rife with them. The “Policing” professor was a Captain with the Sheriff’s office, the “Courts” Professor was a sitting judge, and so on.
The worst instructors I had were full professors, who ignored their teaching obligations.
I had a great math lecturer who taught HS during the day.
Teaching is for adjuncts and grad students.
See Obama.
Yeah, no shit.
And it’s entirely by the design of Marxist ratfuckers gaining even more control over everything.
Less unity kind of understates it. People forming into tribes in preparation for the US turning into super Beiruit.
The US no longer values freedom, only control in the name of “safety.” And control of the Total State is far too important to let enemies gain it. Tribalism is the only sensible outcome.
This. They created a surveillance state, now we’re just flip-flopping over who gets to control it. Spoiler alert: It’s neither side.
“speakers that will highlight the progress on high speed rail to-date”
Those should be very short speeches.

Isn’t that the transit center that is a glorified bus terminal without any rail connections?
Correct – it is a bus terminal. There is no rail connection there.

Nottingham City Council leader Neghat Khan said residents had been left feeling intimidated by individuals wearing balaclavas, skeleton masks or similar coverings without any “legitimate justification”.
Left unsaid, the V for Vendetta mask.
Guy Fawkes.
This is what I get for checking my spelling.
Crap, I should have known that.
My mom had five acres of pasture land, two good friends, one was English, one was a pyrotechnician, so she put on a giant party for the English ex-pat community (which I did not know how large it was) for a few years on Guy Fawkes day. The parties were epic, complete with a professional fireworks display, bonfire, and burning of the Guy. Years later I am still reminded of the event through random meetings in town or old friends that have fond memories. It was the only time I saw her Labrador quit begging for food and go sleep in her dog house while food was still afoot, with lots of little kids to mooch from. I am still uncertain if it was too much food, or just too British.
Guy Fawkes.
“legitimate justification” reeks of the WNBA “sincerity” argument.
This was brilliantly played, and the politicians fell for the trap which the protestors set for them. Now every single protester is a trans Muslim woman. And there was much laughter on one side, and foot-stamping tantrums on the other.
Criminal laws with exceptions that boil down to “The Government approves of this person’s motive” are the perfect addition to our in no way tyrannical police state.
Once they declare they’re Muslim, they’re eligible for the death penalty for apostacy.
They are already under that threat for saying mean things about the prophet curses be upon him.

I keep telling people, Fetterman talks a good game, but he votes exactly the way he is told. He hasn’t bucked leadership a single time that it matters.
We need someone to replace Susan Collins if she loses.
I keep telling people Fetterman was once conservative.
He grew up in Central Pennsylvania’s York County, the son of an affluent insurance firm partner. As a teenager, he describes himself as a “football-playing meathead.” His family members were all Republicans, so he was a conservative too, though “not in an aggressive or angry way.”
He’s returning to his roots.
It has been speculated that after November, he may align with Team Red to become a key swing vote in what could be a deadlocked senate, which would give him a lot of stroke.
What you did there, it was seen.
“Police and community protection officers in Nottingham will have the authority to demand balaclavas and “skeleton masks” be removed where they have reasonable grounds to believe the coverings are being used to hide someone’s identity for criminal or antisocial purposes….
Exemptions have been made for religious, cultural, health, work, weather and personal safety purposes.”
Sounds reasonable.
‘Personal safety’ like avoiding being doxxed by the third-world rage mob or jailed by the pigs?

Buying votes is only illegal with private funds.
Yup. Hochul bought NY votes before the last election. And without a peep heard from the MSM.
Promises of legal bribes that’ll be broken aren’t going to move the meter. That might actually help if he was known to keep his word but you can’t believe a damn thing he says. I’m not thrilled about what’s going to happen after the midterms but the impeachment and removal proceedings should be good for some good content here at least.
The Democrats could point out all the promises he made 2 years ago, then broke. But that will remind everyone why they used to like the guy and how worthless the DNC is.
Like the draftees in Full Metal Jacket, they’re all equally worthless.
“DALLAS — President Trump headlined the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention Wednesday night, boasting about his record and offering every American $5,000 if Republicans hold control of Congress in the Nov. 3 election.
Trump implored listeners to “pretend that I’m on the ballot” so he can “finish the job” —presenting a stark choice between “radical left communists” and a continuation of his populist agenda.
The president offered Americans a major financial incentive to stick with him in what he called the “best part” of his energetic barnstorming-style 107-minute speech.”

There are about 258 million adult American citizens. So that is another $1.3 trillion in debt if it was actually done.
Actually only $500 billion since you need to show a picture of your completed ballot to claim the prize.
🤣😂
Aside from the fact that it will not actually ever be completed, the thing is not even designed to enter the city where you are holding that event.
I am sure at least a few of the billions the high speed rail grift has produced ended up there, so it is as connected to the project as anywhere else.
They have a plan.
Of course the plan relies on major federal taxpayer funding.
OK, then. That must have happened after I stopped paying attention.
Yeah, it’s all pie in the sky.

Re: the Nigerian scammer
*chef’s kiss*
“many think that the U.S. would unify as it did 25 years ago if another terror attack from overseas were to happen today”
No. 9/11 was when I saw the Left really jump into overdrive and it was the beginning of the media becoming explicit and overt in their hatred of all things “traditional America”; prior to that it was a lot more subtle. Further, Bush sucked so badly and the ridiculous Iraq debacle so horrifying that it paved the way for Obama who has set us on the current socialist path and turned ideological disagreement into a rift the size of the Grand Canyon. If another attack happened, it would only further that divide. Frankly, I see nothing fixing it at this point.
Yep, we’re screwed. A house divided against itself and all that.
The left hates everything the right values, and after decades of hiding that fact they opened up about it. Now the right largely hates the left as well. After 9/11 the unity lasted only a few weeks before there were media stories about how all the patriotism was kind of over the top and maybe we should consider what faults of ours had ’caused’ this. I see no chance for what I think of as Conservatism to win. It isn’t even a contender anymore. Trump is a nationalist populist, not a conservative, that becomes more obvious every day.
If by “conservatism” you mean “classical liberalism” then that horse left the barn long ago. The closest thing we got in modern times was Reagan and even he sucked by a lot of measures. Before that you’ve gotta go all the way back to Coolidge and then antebellum before that. People don’t like liberty, reason or personal responsibility. It’s just too damn hard!
At this point I’ll just settle for anything not commie and not Islamofascist.
Best we can do is corruptocrat anarcho-tyranny.
The “right” went into overdrive also. Passing Homeland Security Act. I’m getting pissed just remembering.
And where was the left during that debacle? Actively cheering it on, eager to apply it once they got their hands on the levers of power.
Bush leaned into it with the “religion of peace” lie.
We needed someone in his position to have balls and call it what it was. A religious war.
Yup.
And I gather that is a bad translation. “Religion of submission” is more like it. Doesn’t really sell the whole “Oh, poor muzzies. Mustn’t backlash when they kill us” narrative, though.
“A gun-toting Brooklyn thug charged in a brazen Labor Day shooting was slapped with hefty bail that should keep him locked up – just weeks after a lefty judge cut him a break that put him back on the streets.
Nayshawn Wilkinson, 19, was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail or a $1 million bond Wednesday for allegedly shooting a 24-year-old man at the West Indian Day Parade Monday – just one month after making easy bail for allegedly shooting a 15-year-old boy at a playground.”

“Two menacing teens were busted in a wild armed Brooklyn carjacking spree late Thursday – that ended with one of them attempting to mow down a cop, police said.
The rampage began around 7:40 p.m. when the two 16-year-olds cornered a 24-year-old man on East 16th Street near Avenue P in Homecrest, flashed a gun and tried to rob him, authorities said.”

Didn’t the SC just rule that you can’t create districts based solely on racial groups? Oh, I forgot that the SC is illegitimate and needs to be packed so the correct outcomes can be achieved.

This is literally Marxists tearing people apart but the clueless left will celebrate and the idiot right will be too terrified to complain.

OK, maybe black separatists and Marxists are the same thing.
Any time I hear people using Kwanzaa as some sort of “authentic” African bull shit I laugh. It is a 100% made up thing. For fuck’s sake, it isn’t even celebrated in Africa!

“I also like the incorporation of “Houses” from Harry Potter into their curriculum.”
———–
While you definitely might be right that these particular people were thinking of Harry Potter they actually did this same crap at the local public school that I attended from ’81-’85. The “Houses” were the names of 4 different Canadian cities where our school’s namesake had lived and/or made his mark when he was alive. I think this type of set-up might be an old thing.
Rowling did not invent the idea of ‘Houses’ she borrowed it from common usage in British boarding schools.
I suppose that it is an easy way to divide up the students into smaller similar groups for certain things. Although the school that I switched to just used the alphabet when they needed to do that sort of thing and it seemed to work out perfectly fine without any “houses” or labeling.
Better Off Ted had an episode in which the company assigned one of four friend groups to office workers, who then formed cliques based on it.

Not what you’re thinking. The Karenic languages are spoken by the natives of western Thailand and the surrounding regions.
Unfortunately there’s not a Google Translate option, so I can’t look up, “I want to speak to the manager!” in Sgaw.
If you don’t think your average squaw hasn’t demanded to speak to the manager, I don’t know what rock you have been living under.
In my HS we had a ton of Cambodian refugee kids. Amazingly they took the same classes as the rest of us. How thoughtless of us, when they should have been separated into their own schools so they could practice their own culture away from the corrupting influence of whites.
We did the same to the Vietnamese, Cambodians and Hmong who came here in the ’80s. I feel so sad for them now.
I’m surprised that there is still a Hmong language school. They’ve been here long enough that there aren’t even any Hmong gangs anymore. They have adapted and done well enough that they’ve lost out to the Somali gangs.
Whew! Minnesodans can now rest easy knowing that Ilhan Omar is the most ethical Congresswoman ever.
Extradite her to Somaliland along with the other members of her family so that they might face justice.
One of the most damning things about Omar is how petty her thefts of tax dollars have been.
When she was a simple Minnesoda legislator she only grifted $2,500 in speaking fees before being shut down.
Give Nancy her props, she made bank while in office.

Cali is so cooked. Can’t even finish a simple high speed rail line? Look upon Minnesoda’s great works and despair!
Since the story doesn’t mention it, I’ll enact some labor for the journalo. The Mesabi trail is a bike path from Northern Minnesoda to North Eastern Minnesoda. I have no idea what the entire project costs, but in 2021 they got $1M for a 5.5 mile section between McKinley and Biwabik Minnesoda
At $200K/mile, that would be $33MM.
Not sure how much that is in learing centers, though.
You could get 16.5 Standard or 15.7 Metric Learing Centers out of that.
If you stacked the learing centers, they would be four giraffes tall.
The best number I could find was that it cost $20M to build those 165 miles of bike trail.
But will cyclists use it or will they continue to ride on roads?
They will continue to ride like salmon against the flow in the oncoming lane.
The cool bike paths are old rail ways that were torn up and paved over. Shouldn’t cost that much.
But then they couldn’t harass the motorists and signal their virtue for not having an engine.
Most of that trail is along old rail beds.
You flunk Gubbment 101 if you think simply paving an 8ft path along a rail bed would be cheap though.
Then there is the rare trail to rail proposal.
Buying out RR leases and all the federal paperwork that comes with them is nutty.

So they will spend even more money enforcing the pass than they bring in with the pass.

Still I think it is a genuine Ray because it reminds us of all the good that dogs bring into our lives.

huge misunderstanding of american humor and everything but here’s my proposal for the 9/11: two manhattans with a shot of fireball dropped in, and you drop a third shot of fireball in someone else’s drink halfway down the bar
Which was in response to:
Went to Ireland and CONFIDENTLY ordered two Irish car bombs and the bartender let me know that was EXTREMELY offensive and equivalent to ordering 2 9/11s 😭😭😭
I 100% like this idea.
After drinking them, you should be required to take off your shoes to go to the bathroom.
That might not be terrible. A sweet whisky drink with cinnamon? Sure, why not?
But then you’d be drinking Fireball 🤢
I only bought a bottle for the art, and because it was being sold in a gas station.
Did it come with complimentary sushi?
Snarky, uncomplimentary sushi.
And you pour a fourth fireball on the floor?
what did the floor do to you?
No, you pour it into a Moscow mule cup, and scream “Fireball won’t burn copper!”
I would suggest using two of the tall double shot glasses to represent the towers. Arak should be a component of the drink, there should be a flaming component, and I would think a variant of the paper plane would be appropriate as well.
The firebombing of Dresden would need to be a Blue Blazer that gets poured onto the bar.
For Nagasaki/Hiroshima, I’m unsure if going green with Midori for radiation is passe or not.
The Great Chicago Fire is a shot of Malort with a flaming grain alcohol floater.
There’s already a Hurricane and Mudslide drink.
Yes, I have thought about this for a while, and have kicked around thoughts of an article in the past.
Needs to incorporate milk somehow (for Mrs. O’Leary’s cow). Maybe submarine the flaming shot into a half-pint of milk? It has Malort in it, it’s not like it could be any more disgusting…
No, Sheldon – serve it with a well-done steak.
That’s a crime against steak.
ES:
Perhaps a variant on the Bloody Bull with Malort as the spirit?
You probably also mistake “cooked to shoe leather” for “well done” If it’s dry, you’ve cooked too far.
What about the great San Fransisco fire?
Flaming Dr Pepper?
ZWAK:
Dr. Pepper would need to be for a Texas disaster I would think. For a San Francisco fire, a pousse cafe with a flaming float. Alternatively, add a pebble or two of dry ice on the side to be added for an earthquake.
Well, what ever the drink, it has to be Flaming!
ZWAK:
You could update your spirit layers to match the %current flag% too.

I’m not saying that a gun always beats a blade…but that was about the stupidest possible way to make it happen. Particularly with a sword that looks like it was bought from a gas station…
Whether a gun beats a blade is very situation-dependent.
Very. In force-on-force training with Simunitions and training blades, I’ve beaten some guys who went right for their gun, with a 2″ fixed-blade trainer. The catch was, we were both in the front seats of a car for the training evolution.
A good rule of thumb is, if you draw against someone who’s within arms reach, it’s not your gun anymore. The other guy gets a vote, too.
In that situation if I was the one with the gun, first thing would be to get out of the car.
Or was it moving at the time?
What I have seen and experienced in training is that mindset is probably the overriding factor. One example, probably not uncommon for gun on knife scenarios:
If you draw your gun to control the other guy (very common*), and he has a knife in hand and is within say, two or three long steps, maybe 4, you will lose because in the time your brain shifts from “control him” to “kill him”, he has closed the distance, moved your gun offline, and begun to stitch you up.
*most people, when they draw a gun, are really using it to keep the other person from attacking (or perhaps fleeing) – to control them. Without the training and mindset to have a mental trigger set that goes off automatically (“if he does X, I kill him”), you have to shift gears and that takes a surprising amount of time.
There it is again, they say “allegedly” about an action that happens on the video in the story.
They’re only certain when it’s a lie like “hands up, don’t shoot”
I’m reminded of P.J. O’Rourke’s comment to Sam Donaldson abusing the word “alleged” in the early days of the Monica Lewinsky scandal: Yes, Sam, we must only allege there was an age difference between Bill and Monica.
What, you think journalists know what “allegedly” means?

There needs to be a corporate-level bitchslap here.
Did anyone inform that speaker that they are a moron who will do nothing but cause damage if their suggestions are attempted?

Okay, been a while. I need Monocle because I have zero self-control.

I guess someone at the RNC midterm convention circlejerk dropped a proper ‘land acknowledgement’
“It’s only appropriate that we kick this off with a land acknowledgment. I’d like to acknowledge that we stand here today in the great state of Texas and the United States of America– the ancestral homeland of great American patriots, pioneers and explorers… who bled and died to build the greatest civilization known to man.
A little over the top but I am sick of being told we aren’t now the owners.
I will take land acknowledgements seriously when the people making them give their land back.
Merz and his cronies are already threatening to ban the AFD. The AFD was entirely too successful at winning elections. Good for them. Take Germany back a little bit to the right into basic socialism.
I find this so tiring. Calling people Nazis, while behaving like a no-shit nazi is also tiresome.
Ze Germans need to learn that sometimes bloodshed is required for dealing with these autocrats.
They couldn’t ban it before (they certainly wanted to) – what makes them think they will get away with it now?
Because, that’s why.
They were only a theoretical threat to their power then.
My energy is about that of an influenza patient, if that explains owt.

I am unable to broach my hoarder mother’s bedroom (2 ft high mass of clothes). A young fireman would be in danger, let alone our three handicapped middle-aged asses. I do not know how she manages. Her mother was a hoarder too.
Not specifically asking, just sayin. I won’t ask for help here. Sorry to be such an inconvienent victim.
And someone called APS last month! (I assume a neighbor and nobody here.) That set the cat among the pigeons.
Geez, start with Code Enforcement.
Hoarding.
I resemble this statement.
Not clothing though. That drives me nuts.
I will alter my routes from now on.
Meh, they’re tracking movement through the store. It’s not linked to any particular person.
I’d think doing it via camera footage would be less complicated but what do I know.
They could probably link through checkout timing, but still meh.
It probably does hoover up ssid and devices willing to talk with it though…
From the journalismist’s summary of the tech, it’s definately cheaper than Walmart’s camera extravaganza (which is also used for loss prevention because they get the People of WalMart)
As if every other store isn’t doing it?

Thoughtful analysis
But for as much as Kirk was revered on the right, he was reviled on the left, facing pushback for comments disparaging immigrants and transgender people and questioning the qualifications and capabilities of women and Black Americans. He also amplified conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and falsely claimed the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.
The criticism did not faze Kirk, as he visited campuses across the U.S. to debate his positions at “Prove Me Wrong” events that were central to the image he cultivated for himself as a defender of free speech, free markets and limited government. It was the same type of event he was taking part in last year when he was assassinated at Utah Valley University.
He was not any of those things. He merely projected an image of himself as such. There is no reality, only narrative. There is no truth, only message.
This is what they really believe.
He did an interview with Buck Angel. I dare NPR to do that.
Really?
I’ll have to look that one up.
The big thing that the media and the left (same, I know) get wrong about Charlie Kirk is that he was not necessiary political in nature. He was a Christian apologist. They can’t understand that his love of liberty came from that. They only focus on the politics as to diminish his actual mission.
Given the source, I’ll just assume all of that is a pile of lies and move on with my day.
Mother Earth, tied to the railroad tracks like Nell Fenwick, as Snidely Whiplash twirls his mustache
Earth cooked to its hottest month on record in August, blowing far past a key climate threshold, due to the dangerous double whammy of human-caused climate change and a supersized El Nino, according to the European climate service Copernicus.
——-
“It is now time to stop acting surprised that our warming planet keeps getting warmer. This is occurring exactly as forecast by scientists literally decades ago,” Texas A&M University climate scientist Andrew Dessler said in an email. “The interesting question is not whether we will keep breaking heat records (we will), but whether we’re going to do anything about it or just stand there while the climate train runs us over.”
Those precision of those measurements is indisputable. Submit to the edicts of almighty science!
Dude, step away from the NPR. It’s going to rot your brain.
I imagine Dr. Dessler is a fervent supporter of nuclear power?
We have now passed the eleventy-millionth climatic Point of No Return, but we pinky swear, all can be forgiven and reversed if you submit to global communism.
“…Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s J6 Committee said they believed the J6 pipe bombs to be inoperable. Loudermilk and the FBI also believed law enforcement was responsible for planting the bombs at the RNC and DNC on January 5th, 2021- the night before the storied J6 protests turned Fedsurrection.
Still, Brian Cole Jr., a young autistic man, sits in a jail cell in pre-trial detention awaiting his trial next year for “attempting to use weapons of mass destruction” and “attempting an act of terrorism”- facing a possible life sentence.
But many in MAGA think he is innocent. A patsy. They want him released.
Enrique Tarrio, the Chairman of the Proud Boys, and no stranger to political persecution in the D.C. Kangaroo Courts, will hold a Press Conference tomorrow (Thursday September 10th) at 1 P.M. EST in support of Brian Cole, Jr. This comes right before Cole’s hearing at 2 P.M., where attendees can walk into the court room and get a glimpse of Cole himself.”

But what does Candice Owens think?
Its been six fucking years, he’s been in jail the whole time, and he hasn’t been tried yet? JFC.
I think it was December? So he’s been in jail less than a year.
No mention of him being a Brony.
Trying for sympathy this time I see.
I was wondering what had became of Tarrio the other day.
Globally, August was 1.65 degrees Celsius (nearly 3 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, >far exceeding the longer term 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) threshold set by the 2015 Paris climate agreement.
OH
MY
GOD!!!!
Death is upon us.
The more people are starting to see through this bullshit, the more hysteric their shrieking gets.
Some are. Others are seeing every weather event now as evidence of Gods hatredclimate change.
“While El Nino is starting to ramp up the heat, the underlying driver remains our relentless burning of fossil fuels. Climate change makes every El Nino hotter, and until we stop burning coal, oil, and gas these record-shattering months will simply keep on coming,” said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London.
Don’t worry. Skynet will kill us long before the planet turns into a cinder.
I imagine Dr. Otto is a fervent supporter of nuclear power?
He asserted, without a shred of evidence.
There are two things happening. One has been proven to have major effects on weather, and one that has theoretical effects on weather. Trust us, everything that is happening is a result of the theoretical thing.

Spoiling the party
Each year on the anniversary of Sept. 11, politicians of various stripes join victims’ families for a commemoration ceremony in downtown Manhattan, putting aside partisan beef and pledging to “never forget.”
This year is different.
President Donald Trump is skipping Friday’s 25th anniversary ceremony at ground zero, reportedly because he wasn’t given an opportunity to deliver remarks. Vice President JD Vance plans to attend instead — and stoked outrage last week by suggesting he’d use the occasion to ridicule former President Joe Biden, who’ll also attend despite his battle with cancer.
Meanwhile, Republicans and the relatives of some victims have demanded Mayor Zohran Mamdani stay away, with GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman encouraging 9/11 families to turn their backs on him during the ceremony.
Those rebukes stem in part from Mamdani’s connections to figures like Hasan Piker, a political commentator who said “America deserved 9/11,” and others who’ve minimized the attacks or blamed U.S. foreign policy. Some of the backlash against the city’s first Muslim mayor has been tagged as Islamophobic.
Those haters are wrecking our festival of victimhood.
LOL
How do they know which backlash is “Islamophobic” and which isn’t? Oh JFC never mind… I don’t care.
Well, you see, none of it is Islamophobic, because that’s not a thing.
It’s all about him being an evil commie islamist asshat who shouldn’t even be in this country.
I’d go to Shanksville and give a speech about how the Flight 93 passengers figured out government advice failed them.
I like that idea.
step away from the NPR. It’s going to rot your brain.
It’s serious news, for serious people!
Mamdani was a 9-year-old Manhattan elementary school student when the towers were struck.
Before being elected mayor, he spoke publicly about the lasting imprint of his aunt choosing to stop wearing her hijab on the subway, fearful of the anti-Muslim bigotry that became more prevalent after the attacks. He’s also long spoken critically about how the NYPD surveilled Muslims after 9/11.
We mustn’t lose sight of who the real victims were.
Don’t believe the auntie story, there was little to no “anti-Muslim bigotry”, and whatever he is implying about the surveillance of Muslims after 9/11 is a complete fucking lie.
That POS can fuck right off.
Trump is the only living current or former president who won’t be at Friday’s memorial ceremony in Manhattan, which will be attended by Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Biden.
Mad King Donald spits on the graves of our honored dead.
Given how eager the MSM always is to frequently point out that New York hates him, I can’t really blame him.
Which living current President is going to be there?
