#Zohran #Mamdani ad in Arabic. It's brilliant. He's trolling Islamophobes!

I'm enjoying the meltdown by haters.

Proud of my city, NYC 🗽for being a bastion of ethnolinguistic and cultural diversity. I ❤️ NY

Looks like CIA & SIS (MI6) ready to dump #Zelensky like they did Ngo Dinh Diem, Noriega, Saddam Hussein, et al.

How will it happen? 🤔
Assassination by accident? Or a beach house in Boca Raton?

Place your bets, folks! 🎲

Whiskey Pete unveils LUCAS-136, 🇺🇸 knockoff of #Iranian Shahid-136 (Geran-2 in #Russia 🇷🇺)

Problem is, Iranian tech is not just superb, it's inexpensive. With Pentagon boondoggles, the 🇺🇸 copy will cost a bundle. Cheaper to buy from Iran 😉
