340 million Americans = 125,000,000/340,000,000=0.367lbs per American. Ladies and Gents, we all need to lose 1/3 of a pound to make this man succeed... better yet the estimated total weight of Americans is 33.2 billion lbs. and if we lose 125,000,000lbs it'll be 0.37% of our national weight.
RFK Jr: "The American public because of this agreement will lose 125 million pounds by this time next year."

Policies limiting immigration are often justified based on the idea that immigrants are more prone to violence. The evidence says otherwise.
New research finds that immigrants in custody show lower criminogenic risk than U.S.-born citizens.

Can I just point something out? Ghislane Maxwell ALSO sexually abused and raped children. She wasn't just a recruiter. She was a child rapist also.
Stop assuming that she is going to anything that isn't in her own interest.
She's a sociopath at best, and she wants out of prison, any way she can.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

This photo from June 19 is two days before the US attack.
Two senior Israeli sources believe this shows a queue of trucks arriving to remove the enriched uranium and critical equipment from the Fordow nuclear site.
It is believed this was done because Trump posted about a possible attack online 🤡

April 20, 1939: A massive military parade attended by hundreds of thousands of spectators is held in Berlin for the Führer's 50th birthday. The lavish spectacle is designed to wow the domestic audience, intimidate foreign observers, and prepare the nation psychologically for the coming war.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

After the surrender of Germany in May 1945, General George Patton was vocal about his distrust of the Soviet Union and believed that the Allies should not stop military operations but instead continue eastward to confront the Soviet forces, who were occupying much of Eastern Europe.
Trump: "Russia fought with us in WWII and everybody hates them. And Germany and Japan, they're fine — some day somebody will explain that...Everybody hates Russia and they love Germany and Japan...It's a strange world."
