The same man who was immunized from his crimes by the US Supreme Court would now be further abusing his power to declare himself the biggest victim of injustice in American history.
It’s just a brazen, stubby, vulgar middle finger at the rule of law.

You don't have to like the Muslim Brotherhood or the Council on American-Islamic Relations to think the government should be required to prove accusations before punishing people.

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began. Days after Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955 for violating the ordinance requiring Black residents of Montgomery to accept second class treatment, the Black community organized and boycotted the city’s buses for over one year. 1/3

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.
A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

many of the states with universities that have entered into "agreements" with the regime have robust civil rights laws, including protection against discrimination on the basis of gender identity/expression. the Illinois Attorney General could make an example out of Northwestern. he really should.
