This is not a military target, this is a UN vehicle clearly marked as UN, Israel deliberately targeted in Lebanon, killing UN peacekeepers. This is not an accident. Israel killed three peacekeepers in UN uniform under UN flag. Attacking UN peacekeepers is an abomination which was in the past perpetrated by terrorists, but never by members of the UN. This violates International Humanitarian Law (IHL), Geneva Conventions, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), 1994 Convention, the UN Charter and Security Council Mandates, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel. Israel's impunity must end!

@Phoebe4832 @laugh1066 @OopsGuess @StateDept I'm certain now. You believe yourself. Good luck in your fantasy.

@ContinualDan @laugh1066 @OopsGuess @StateDept You missed my point. Observers - watch. So Iran has a nuke, decides to use it, observers say you can't do that. Yeah, that works.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: To those countries that can’t get fuel, many of which refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion: 1. Buy oil from AMERICA 2. Build up some delayed courage and take the Strait for yourselves 🔥🔥🔥

@drypeekgoblin @jetsxhawks @micah_erfan Forgive him. He's trying to "bwe" human.

@jetsxhawks @micah_erfan Try phrasing that one more time, but this time in English

Just in case you are losing track of the shifting goal posts… (1) The initial goal of the war was regime change. Trump said it in his announcement speech, and the name is, quite literally, “Roaring Lion,” a nod to the return of the Shah. (2) When they realized they were failing at this goal they switched to say the war was to take out Iran’s enriched uranium which was not destroyed in the initial strikes. This too is not practically possible as America has no idea where it is. (3) So now we are here, having to pretend to think that doing damage to Iran’s almost non-existent air force and navy, and its antiquated domestic missile system was the actual goal of this war.

What's up with this worship of fairytales? And why all the pro-Israel stuff? Cozying up to a genocidal regime that is run by a man wanted for crimes against humanity? You people are depraved. This religious stuff mixed into politics was banned by your Founding Fathers. Trying to ignore your (short) history?

As Jews around the world gather to celebrate Passover and remember God’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt, we continue to honor the ongoing resilience and hope of the Jewish people today.

@SimardPete @VisionaryVoid The biggest enemy of human progress is the lust for profit. And the arrogance of big companies. In this case I have to take sides with Ward. Those companies could have easily complied with his wishes and still be profitable.

@VisionaryVoid starlite keeps me up at night. guy had something that could tank a blowtorch and keep an egg cool on the other side, but was so paranoid about getting ripped off he let it die with him. sometimes the biggest enemy of a breakthrough isn't the science, it's the inventor's ego.

The Hairdresser Who Built a Nuclear-Proof Material (Then Took the Formula to His Grave) In the 1980s, a British hairdresser named Maurice Ward mixed together a batch of organic polymers in his kitchen blender and accidentally created something that shouldn't exist. He called it Starlite. It could withstand temperatures of 10,000°C, roughly the surface of the sun. In 1990, Ward appeared on the BBC's Tomorrow's World and held a blowtorch directly against an egg coated in Starlite. After five minutes of sustained flame, the egg was cracked open on live television. It was completely raw inside. The audience had no idea what they were looking at. Things escalated quickly. Samples were sent to the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Foulness, then to White Sands in New Mexico, escorted by the SAS. Scientists subjected Starlite to simulated nuclear blasts equivalent to 75 Hiroshimas. It survived every single one without charring. NASA tested it. Boeing wanted it. The British Ministry of Defence came knocking. Ward turned them all away. The problem was Ward himself. He refused to patent Starlite, fearing reverse engineering. He refused to hand over samples for analysis. He demanded 51% ownership in any deal, which killed negotiations with every major corporation and government agency that tried. For two decades, one of the most potentially revolutionary materials ever demonstrated sat in a hairdresser's kitchen in Blackpool, going absolutely nowhere. Maurice Ward died on May 29, 2011, at age 78. He never published the formula. He never signed a deal. According to his family, the recipe exists somewhere in his notes, but as of today, no one has successfully replicated Starlite. The material that could survive a nuclear blast couldn't survive one man's stubbornness.

What bothers us the most: no one intervenes. Where is the "rising up to a tyrannical government"? What happened to those amendments in your constitution you are so proud of? And where did all this hate and cruelty come from? It's clear for the world to see that Trump is missing some cups in the cabinet. How is he still in power?

Are there any countries that like us right now or are we all alone?

@dbongino Sweet projection. Does it fill the void in your soul?

Tom Massie is a liar, a grifter and a fraud. Thanks, and have a good morning.

You gotta love MAGA for showing their total lack of integrity. This account, that calls women cunts and whores, blocked me after its first reply. Totally on par for a misogynistic, hypocritical, ignorant douche with 1776 in its profile.

@Bob_Newman1776 @RedPilledNurse This account made my day. Has 1776 in the profile. Calls women cunts and whores. And is a big hypocrite.

@Bob_Newman1776 @RedPilledNurse And of course you have 1776 in your profile. No surprise there.

In 1997, a 23-year-old actress walked out of a hotel room carrying a check for $100,000 and a legal agreement that said she must never speak about what had just happened. She signed it. Then she spent the next twenty years breaking it. Her name was Rose McGowan. The man who wrote the check was Harvey Weinstein. The industry that protected him was Hollywood. And the silence they demanded from her became the sound that eventually helped bring the entire system crashing down. It started at the Sundance Film Festival. Rose was there with a rising career and a future that looked bright. She left with money, a confidentiality clause, and a story she wasn’t allowed to tell. Most people in her position would have stayed quiet. Taken the money. Moved on. Protected what was left of their careers. Rose McGowan did the opposite. She told the truth anyway. Not once. Not quietly. Not when it became safe or popular or profitable to do so. For twenty years — two full decades — she stood in rooms, on stages, in interviews, and pointed directly at an industry that had mastered the art of protecting predators while punishing the people they hurt. She named the machinery. The agents who looked away. The lawyers who wrote the settlements. The executives who kept the secret because the secret made money. She described a system so efficient at silencing victims that it ran like clockwork, generation after generation. She wasn’t whispering in private therapy sessions or anonymous online forums. She was shouting in the middle of Hollywood, while everyone pretended not to hear. And the industry didn’t investigate. It reacted. Roles that had been offered quietly disappeared. Auditions stopped coming. Doors that had been open slowly, carefully closed. Phone calls went unreturned. Her name became something people didn’t want attached to their projects. When media coverage came — and it was rare — the focus wasn’t on what she was saying. It was on how she was saying it. Too loud. Too angry. Too emotional. Too difficult. The story the industry wanted to tell wasn’t about abuse of power. It was about an unstable woman who couldn’t let go. Who was bitter. Who was damaging her own career by refusing to move on. This is how institutions protect themselves. Not with a single dramatic act of censorship. Not with threats or violence or obvious suppression. With a thousand small acts. A phone call not returned. A role recast. A headline that says “troubled actress” instead of “whistleblower.” A raised eyebrow in a meeting. A quiet conversation about whether someone is “worth the risk.” The message was always the same, delivered in a hundred different ways: This is what happens when you don’t stay quiet. Rose McGowan watched her career evaporate in real time. Not because she wasn’t talented. Not because audiences didn’t want to see her. But because an industry she had spent years warning about decided she was the problem. And she kept speaking. 2015. Still speaking. 2016. Still speaking. Then October 2017 arrived. Investigative journalists at The New York Times and The New Yorker published what Rose McGowan had been saying into the void for two decades. Ronan Farrow and Jodi Kantor didn’t discover a new story. They gave her story the institutional credibility it needed to be heard. Dozens of women came forward. Their accounts matched hers almost word for word. The patterns she’d described — the hotel rooms, the assistants who disappeared, the settlements, the silence — all of it confirmed by person after person after person. The #MeToo movement spread across continents and industries within days. Millions of voices saying what Rose had been saying alone for twenty years. Harvey Weinstein — the name she had been repeating into the void since 1997 — became a global symbol of everything that had been wrong, hidden, and protected for too long. He was convicted in 2020. He is in prison now. And Rose McGowan’s career never came back. That’s the part the #MeToo story sometimes skips over. Because movements need clean narratives. Hero speaks. World listens. Change happens. Justice prevails. But the person who strikes the match while it’s still raining? While everyone thinks she’s imagining the storm? That person pays a price the victory doesn’t erase. Rose McGowan was right in 1997. She was right in 2005. She was right in 2015. She was right the entire time. Being right didn’t protect her. It cost her everything — and then the world moved on to celebrate the moment it finally started listening, while she remained exactly where speaking the truth had left her. Outside. Unemployable. Vindicated but not restored. There’s something worth sitting with in that. Something uncomfortable that doesn’t fit neatly into inspirational quotes or empowerment narratives. Not every person who tells the truth lives to see it validated. Not every warning comes with the luxury of perfect timing, sympathetic audiences, or institutional backing. Some people carry the weight of being right before the world is ready — and they carry it alone, at full cost, without applause. Rose McGowan didn’t wait for permission from the industry that betrayed her. She didn’t soften her story to make powerful people comfortable. She didn’t modulate her tone to make her truth more palatable. She paid for that with her career, her reputation, and years of public ridicule. But she spoke. And eventually — eventually — the world heard her. That’s the kind of courage that doesn’t always get the ending it deserves. It’s also the kind the world depends on more than it wants to admit. Some truths need someone brave enough — or angry enough, or stubborn enough — to say them before anyone is ready to listen. Before it’s safe. Before there’s a movement to stand behind. Before there are hashtags and think pieces and awards ceremonies. Rose McGowan was that person. She stood alone in an empty room shouting at an industry that had decided her silence was worth more than her truth. She kept shouting when her bank account emptied. When the roles stopped. When people called her crazy, bitter, unstable, vindictive. She was none of those things. She was right. And she said so, over and over and over again, until finally — after two decades — enough people listened that the ones who weren’t listening couldn’t pretend anymore. The question worth asking isn’t why Rose McGowan kept speaking. It’s why it took the rest of us twenty years to hear her.

So you believe that those observers wouldn't be against Iran having a nuke? Those observers also live somewhere. And don't want nuclear war. The idea that only the US is against Iran having nukes is beyond ignorant. Unlike the US, there are still nations believing in solutions without bombs and war.

@laugh1066 @OopsGuess @StateDept So the "international observers" could watch while Iran got a nuke and threatened the world? Yeah, that would work. You are right about him bringing it onto the world stage. About time someone with guts did.

@Ostrov_A What goes around, comes around.

🚨 It’s Passover, one of the holiest periods of the Jewish year, and at 03.45am Iran is firing ballistic missiles at JERUSALEM. Where is the world outrage? Not a sound. Just DEAFENING SILENCE!

@snowiecone Wolverine

gun to your head name a canadian

@BobSoul7 @Eva_eva_P @USronaldcarter Bob sold his soul.

@Eva_eva_P @USronaldcarter Sure thing retard

🚨 NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED NATO ACTUALLY IS RIGHT NOW. In the last 72 hours, watch who walked away: 🇫🇷 France: Blocked US military overflight for weapons to Israel — FIRST TIME since war began Feb 28. Israel cut ALL defense procurement from France. 🇮🇹 Italy: Denied Sigonella air base landing to US bombers. Defense Minister said relations are "solid and loyal." DAYS after blocking US planes. 🇪🇸 Spain: Closed ENTIRE airspace to US operations. Blocked Naval Station Rota AND Morón Air Base. PM Sánchez called it "not NATO collective defense." 🇵🇱 Poland: Refused to redeploy Patriot batteries. US burned through 1,200+ interceptors in 16 days. Poland said no. 🇨🇭 Switzerland: Denied 2 US reconnaissance flights. Suspended $120,000,000 in weapons exports under "neutrality laws." 🇬🇧 UK: PM said "this is not our war." Trump told them to "build up some delayed courage." 🇩🇪 Germany: President Steinmeier called war "possibly illegal." WHILE hosting Ramstein — largest US base outside America. That is: France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, UK, and Germany. All in ONE week. When this many allies abandon you at once, it's not a disagreement. It's a collapse.

Seems the US is the party that's fucked. Acts of aggression are their own responsibility. It's not that the members are walking away. It's the US that tries to turn NATO into henchmen. Also, didn't Trump start up this so-called Board of Peace? Why doesn't he ask them? Plenty of warmongering dictators in that club.

@PeteHegseth What happened to "liberating" the Iranian people and "end the regime"? Apparently alcohol isn't good for your memory.

Back to the Stone Age.

@SecDuffy When will the US stop terrorizing the world?

Excellent speech. As President Trump said, Iran’s days of terrorizing the world are OVER. The actions we are taking will make the United States SAFER and MORE PROSPEROUS than ever before. Peace through strength 🇺🇸

@EylonALevy That's your legacy after systematically destroying Gaza and its inhabitants. And a lot of other "actions" you undertook.

Iran is firing ballistic missiles either with 500kg warheads or cluster submunitions at Israeli residential areas, and the whole world is treating that as totally normal.

“Two years of living in a student dorm back in the distant 1990s taught me this: when speaking with Arabs, you should be distinctly respectful. They are not Caucasians. When offended or faced with a bad joke, they don’t explode like gunpowder — they simply wait for the right moment and ‘stick a knife in your back,’ calmly, with a cold smile on their lips. Marco Rubio apologized for his boss’s off-the-cuff remark about Salman and the crude joke. And it seemed like that was it… the conflict was over. But already today, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, at the summit of Arab countries, ‘pulled out the knife’: no more talk of the Abraham Accords with Israel. The brothers from the UAE (who signed an Abraham Accord with Israel recognizing the Jewish state) must immediately decide whose side they are on — the Arab world or the Zionists. And the cherry on top: the Saudis will no longer buy weapons from the United States; defense procurement will be redirected to their Muslim brothers in Turkey. Dig, Donnie, dig a bunker… Take the blueprints from your friend Putin and start digging.”

US foreign policy is directly dependent on its ability to project power abroad. Without NATO backing it up and European bases not accessible, that foreign policy changes drastically. I also mentioned the EU holding a significant amount of US debt. Imagine what happens when that gets dumped. Maybe the US needs other countries more than it dares to admit.

@ContinualDan @AmericaFirstCon I told you what I thought in the first post. You then corrected my English or questioned my English so I'm not surprised that you're snarking. Europe has tried repeatedly to get us involved in the Ukraine war. I'm not the slightest bit interested. Fight your own battles

More and more of our NATO frenemies are denying US basing and landing right to US aircraft involved in Trump's war against Iran including Spain, Italy and now France. Trump should respond by announcing during his Oval Office address tomorrow night that the US is leaving NATO effective immediately!
