The federal government is posting about āour Saviorā and āGodās planā in a country that was set up with no official religion and has been run that way for 250 years. Extremists hate the idea that America belongs to all of us.

Can we believe the good jobs report or anything that is controlled by pathological liar trump's administration ? That's the problem. He never tells the truth about anything. He is completely incapable of telling the truth.

So Israel has now killed very nearly as many Lebanese as Israelis were killed on October 7, including 100 children and thereās hardly a word of condemnation other than from Carney and Macron. Why no international outcry at the ethnic cleansing thatās taking place.

The countries hardest hit by the energy crisis are low in income and high in import dependency for fossil fuels, for example Morocco and the Philippines. They have nothing to do with this illegal war, yet their economies and livelihoods are being destroyed.

Israelās use of a nail and cigarette burns to torture a one-year-old child and force a confession from his father is a revolting moral outrage that demands immediate action from Congress. No child, anywhere in the world, should be subjected to such cruelty, especially with American taxpayer dollars.
