I'm a semi-truck that merged INTO my lane while I was on my bike doing about 65+.
You know that scene in Fast and the Furious where the car goes under the truck and comes out the other side? Yeah.

To echo: do not cite anything you have not at least skimmed and can verify it really exists and says what you say it says (or is about what you say it is about). Even if you collect citations from others' work (a legit practice), CHECK THEM.

There is no link between the Bondi massacre and “globalise the intifada”. That’s entirely the product of NYT op-eds and Twitter fascists.

Two people tried to extinguish the light of Chanukah through murderous violence.
But was is one man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, whose flashlight shone through the darkness they wrought, a reminder of Chanukah’s message that in the longest of nights, a tiny flame can dispel much darkness.

This only "works" for them if everyone answers yes and is allowed to proceed. Simply say "am I being detained?" or "am I free to go?"

Ok, but also Bradley had to know it was an unlawful order, so I’m not going to waste sympathy here
Breaking news: Government officials said they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill survivors of a targeted strike on suspected drug smugglers in Latin America.
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.
