@WashTimes Interesting choice to exclude Social Security and Medicare, by far the two largest welfare programs in existence.

STUDY: Households headed by non-citizens use means-tested welfare programs at substantially higher rates than households headed by U.S.-born Americans in nearly every state.

@KhakanQureshi @thejuggernaut Lmao 😂 A+ for trolling. Stop larping as a Muslim if you don’t believe in the Quran.

@DerekHowell13 @thejuggernaut You've offered absolutely nothing new on the reading.
Come back to me when you find meaning in the story.

Like clockwork, every Pride Month, someone inevitably starts talking about whether Muslims can, in fact, be gay. This year, the latest round arrived courtesy of 5Pillars, a media outlet claiming to be the “voice” of Muslims in the U.K. Its handy “How To Navigate Pride Month” for “Muslims living in the West” offers choice advice: “Muslims who experience same-sex attraction…should seek spiritual support.” Then, 5Pillars set their eyes on some notable targets: London Mayor Sadiq Khan and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
“The Muslim mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, celebrates queer and transgender New Yorkers,” said a miffed 5Pillars tweet. The blowback was swift. “My first consideration is the preservation of Islamic purity. If that upsets people, then so be it,” 5Pillars founder Roshan M. Salih, who is of Sri Lankan and Welsh descent, told The Juggernaut. “We don’t condemn people who have same-sex attraction. However…if they act upon that attraction, then they are sinning.” As for Zohran Mamdani? “He was tweeting in favor of LGBTQ Pride, and that is a clear contradiction in the eyes of Muslims.”
But it seemed like no one was talking to the very group that the whole fiasco was about: queer Muslims. What do they have to say? The Juggernaut spoke to many in the community, including Islamic scholars, to find out.

Comments cooking her but i don’t see anything wrong with that

@KhakanQureshi @thejuggernaut I learned by reading the Quran and Hadith. Lusting over men instead of women doesn’t need an analysis lmao 😂 Lusting over men doesn’t mean rape nor sexual assault it is homosexuality and sodomy. You can’t mental gymnastics your way into any other meaning.
English
@DerekHowell13 @thejuggernaut No, I had asked YOU about the analysis, which you didn't bring forth.
Seems you learnt by indoctrination.

@DerekHowell13 @bonchieredstate 41+ times trump has claimed 'the deal is done', 'will be signed any minute' and 'Iran completely defeated'. In your mind believability of Iran is the issue? 😬
English
The most embarrassing defeat in modern American history if true.
And I’m not seeing the administration refute this by actually releasing the text.
Open Source Intel@Osint613
Iranian Mehr News Agency has published the supposed 14 clauses of the MOU $12 billion of Iran's frozen funds to be released before negotiations begin, with another $12 billion during the 60-day final negotiation window. Oil and petrochemical sanctions suspended. Full naval blockade lifted within 30 days. The U.S. commits to non-interference in Iranian affairs, withdrawal of forces from around Iran, and no new sanctions or force deployments during negotiations. An immediate ceasefire is required on all fronts, including Lebanon. The Strait of Hormuz reopens within 30 days under Iranian arrangements. Iran reaffirms its NPT commitment not to produce nuclear weapons. A 60-day window is set to negotiate a final deal covering nuclear issues and full sanctions removal. The U.S. and allies must also present reconstruction plans worth at least $300 billion. Iran's missile program and support for resistance groups are removed from the agenda entirely. No final negotiations begin until the $12 billion is released, oil sanctions are suspended, and the blockade is lifted. A supervisory mechanism will oversee implementation, with any final agreement approved by UN Security Council resolution.

@RoyEMunson9 @bonchieredstate America first isn’t Israel first. They don’t have the same interests as us
English
@bonchieredstate It’s so insane, and it’s all to get gas under control for the midterms. Our allies and interests be damned.
English
This is coming from White House favorite Pakistan, and it’s the same historically awful deal Iran is claiming.
If it’s not true, then release the text. At least deny it publicly.
That’d be really easy to do.
Aviva Klompas@AvivaKlompas
🚨 Pakistan has published what it claims are the key terms of the U.S.-Iran agreement: ➡️ U.S. sanctions on Iran would be lifted. ➡️ Frozen Iranian funds would be partially released. ➡️ A ceasefire would take effect across all fronts, alongside an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. ➡️ Iran’s uranium stockpile and nuclear facilities would remain inside Iran. ➡️ A $300 billion compensation fund would be established for Iran. ➡️ The U.S. embargo on Iran would be removed. ➡️ Iran would assume responsibility for managing the Strait of Hormuz and collecting transit fees. The terms are unconfirmed by Washington or Tehran.

@Berlinger Legitimately the most performative performance ever and y’all are glazing him.

i used to fear mamdani was too young to oversee a city like new york and now i realize our politicians should ... have energy? and stamina?

Mayor Mamdani at today’s Puerto Rico Day Parade.

@RoKhannaNews He had to get bailed out. There is plenty on him already

it’s incredible how they still have nothing on him

The way I hate Zohran Mamdani with every fiber of my being... His fake smiles make me 🤢
English
establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative
🐝@beha_hun
Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows. THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!
English
We have to let Zohran run for president

In Mamdani’s NYC, we’re all family, don’t believe the lies

@Libertarian2009 @MMumu87 @shycollie I would say American Muslim women are worse than those in the Muslim world. Don’t want any of their Islamic responsibilities in marriage but know their rights lmao Had a few go crazy I wanted a prenup if they wanted to make it a civil marriage.
English
@MMumu87 @shycollie Muslim women want best of the both worlds but responsibility of neither.

How did Khabib fight Gaethje and come out without a single scratch

Iran has done more for the Muslims than the UAE.

@thesilverwolfgg @FullMetalDojo He’s gonna fight the winner of Connor Holloway

If i were Gaethje i’d walk off into the sunset with that win and belt. He’s a legend. I’ve never seen an athelete hunt for the belt that much to finally succeed since Cro Cop. Just walk off bro. Don’t need to take anymore damage in this sport. Win at WH event is enough.

@droob9908 @wil_da_beast630 And losing assets that are yours and solely yours
English
@wil_da_beast630 Doesn’t even get into the terrifying possibility of losing your children. I’m pro marriage but the trepidations given modern laws is very real.
English
One of the most common reasons that young men give for not wanting to enter serious relationships today is that it is "virtually illegal" to tell a modern upper-middle class woman that SHE has any responsibilities within them.
In the bedroom, very few people are going to be satisfied with having sex only the exact number of times that someone with a much lower libido - on average - would ideally prefer to, with no seduction or negotiation....or just drinking/smoking together...allowed.
Outside it, very few men are keen on making most of the money, doing 30-40% of the housework, and THEN being told about "mental load" and how they contribute little or nothing. There are devastating male replies to these points - including the plain "Fix the problem or I'm gone" - but there seems to be an increasing focus on labeling these all as "abuse."
My many great female friends may feel that this analysis is unfair, or even that I'm a real asshole on this topic. But, the base of it is just data: this comes up EVERY SINGLE TIME I poll younger guys.
We constantly hear that women are less incentivized to seek marriage today than they were in the past. But, in hard statistical terms, this seems to be a bit more true for men. An actual quote under one of my #S&RQ polls read: "Why would I leave Tinder to have less sex, be treated worse, and probably lose half my shit?"
If the question is "What makes marriage appealing in 2026 (?)," BOTH sexes need to work on drumming up a coherent answer to that.
Brent A. Williams, MD@BrentAWilliams2
“I expect my husband to constantly meet my needs whilst I rarely meet his” is female domination, not female empowerment. It’s not “feminism”, it’s bullshit. And yes, men have the right to be at minimum wary about the imbalance.
English
@Nemtastic1 @wil_da_beast630 Definitely even if their politics are extremely terrible.
English
@wil_da_beast630 Yeah, that's a weird one. Although if you go back 70 years, ~95% of whites were native-born.
But ADoS are obviously heritage Americans.
