@RBReich Also, being a Marxist stunts your growth.

One the one hand, I don’t know what to make of this call so will accede to the judgement of the folks doing the VAR review.
On the other hand, I know that FIFA is a corrupt organization to its core.
And yet the World Cup is the greatest sporting event in the world, whether you are a soccer/football fan or not.
In my view, the expansion of the format to 48 teams has been a positive for the game and the tournament, even though no doubt a large part of the expansion was driven by money.

Embarrassing moment involving Argentina, FIFA and Messi again 😳🇦🇷
19 successful games were played with no VAR controversy until FIFA’s favourite team played.
Last night saw one of the clearest red cards any football fan will witness, but the problem was the player involved was Messi.
There was a very quick review of the incident and nothing was said about it because they were scared Messi would miss the remaining two games and that would possibly cost them revenue. 👀
After the last rigged World Cup with many undeserved penalties awarded to Argentina, FIFA are trying to make another World Cup full of controversy again.
That challenge could have broken his ankle or caused a serious calf injury, but nothing was done.
Algeria robbed!!!

@DataRepublican @_MyDude_ @LehnerKath A good idea. Also, tighten the restrictions on political speech from the pulpit for non-profit religious organizations. The current line is not clear enough and is rarely enforced.

@LehnerKath Kill nonprofit status, except for churches. Then go back to the pre-Bush era policy of not allowing federal grants for churches.

@EricLDaugh @cg59runner I don’t know the EU legislative approval process, but this seems like a big deal.

🚨 BREAKING: The European Union has just PASSED a measure to surge mass deportations across the region — its officially law of the EU
LFG! WAKE UP and take your countries back, don't slow down and keep pushing! 🔥
President Trump has been clear: NO MORE 3rd world mass migration, or Europe will no longer be Europe! 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Done deal: Mass deportations from Europe will soon become reality✈️

@RedWavePress I like it. We shall see where this goes, but I like the idea.

OVERNIGHT: President Trump announces that he will not APPROVE FISA without the SAVE America Act attached to it and has CANCELED Jay Clayton’s Senate hearing today for DNI, as Bill Pulte will remain as Acting Director of National Intelligence until Jamie McDonald is confirmed as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
Trump wrote on Truth Social: “The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA. Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal. In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place. Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap. Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

@benonwine Cheaper to build low tech detention centers in the Florida Everglades, including high security.

No one, including Arab countries is going to “give” Iran 300 billion dollars. The region wants stability and economic growth, and needs it. The 300 billion would come by way of investment. Stronger economic ties means more stability.
Note that it’s not “other” Arab countries. Iran is not Arab. It’s Persian. That’s not a distinction without a difference.

@Borg_Cryptos That sure looked like an “own goal” against France in the final seconds, making a 3-2 result. Called it.

@ShadowofEzra Excellent. Take it to the wall—call Netanyahu’s bluff. Then Trump will be compelled to release what the US IC has on Israelis and others.
Release of Epstein files and an Iranian-US agreement would be unifying, no?
English

Former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe says Benjamin Netanyahu is about to release the real Epstein files in an effort to sabotage the peace deal.
He says the material would include never-before-seen material involving a majority of U.S. government officials.
He says Netanyahu will do anything to derail peace.
