I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by
USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

I can't tell you how many of my (wonderful, driven, caring, genuinely outstanding) students are Somali. I'd take each and every one of them over a thousand of that orange pissbag. I'd take a single one of them over every last dollar he has.
My students are an inspiration. Trump's an embarrassment.

In an exclusive interview with CNN International, Colombian President Gustavo Petro framed a deepening confrontation with Washington as a dispute over Venezuelan oil, not a new phase of the United States’ decades-long war on drugs.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐
Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Donald Trump must be removed from office immediately. This crosses a bright red line.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.
