This is how America celebrates special events and holidays and festivities:
Smiles, laughs, high fives, hugs and kisses and chest thumps are superceded by certain domestic terrorists that bring NRA approved and home made military grade assault weapons to public events to kill and maim innocent unarmed people.
Our NRA approves this conduct.
Our Republican Party thrives on this conduct and only wants to expand this nefarious conduct to support its own agenda while eroding Democracy into Autocracy under military and dictator control.
We don’t need to fear Muslims, cartels and other groups in America.
We have enough to worry about with our own homegrown military grade domestic terrorists, bearded young and middle age causacians ready to maim and kill anyone and every one because their “Constitution” says it’s acceptable.
Summary: We cannot hold one major special celebratory event in America without a major assault weapon killing.
America, you have a major problem.
America…the disgraceful. 🧐
Australia Stabbing and Columbine Anniversary Bring Back Memories of His Late Father's Heroism On the Other Side of the Globe
Major Nesan Kistan, Commander of The Salvation Army’s Intermountain Division, takes a moment with FOX31 KDVR / Channel 2 KWGN to share the story of the murder of his father during Australia’s most notorious mass shooting in history.
His response?
“Do not let bitterness consume your soul or heart or spirit. Find that space. Ask God to help you to come to that place where he can bring a holistic healing that helps you to forgive and make your way back in life.” Kistan said.

Gosh UNRWA, why haven't you asked Egypt to allow innocent Gazan civilians to temporarily cross the Egyptian border? If there were no innocent Gazan civilians in Rafah, there could be no innocent Gazan civilian casualties.
International Humanitarian Law requires countries to allow innocent civilians to flee a combat area across the nearest non-combatant border. So why haven't you asked Egypt to allow innocent Gazan civilians to temporarily cross the Egyptian border?
We know that the terrorists and oligarchs are allowed to cross the Egyptian border whenever they want, either through the tunnels, or with bribes.
Why are the vulnerable required to stay in Gaza?
"When you attack a camp such as this, we've said all along there would be inevitable civilian casualties. It does leave us numb and personally makes me sick to the stomach."

YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"!
Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome!
In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)!
- Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!"
And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)!
- Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs.
CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality.
TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet.
Denial vs. Obsession
- CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!"
- TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!"
Blame Game vs. Blame Flame
- CCS: "What about those emails?"
- TDS: "What about that tax return?"
Loyalty vs. Paranoia
- CCS: "Trump could do no wrong."
- TDS: "Trump can do no right."
The Hilarious Hypocrisy:
- CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!"
- CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air."
- TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell."
In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right?
So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.
Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa in Washington:
SMILING TO THE BANK - What’s YOUR REACTION to the revelation that First Lady Jill Biden flew from France to Delaware on Friday to support Hunter Biden in his trial, then returned to Europe for a state visit with the French president today—all at U.S. taxpayer expense. The 73-year-old first lady accompanied President Biden to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day before flying back for Hunter's gun trial, and then rejoined Biden and French President Macron on Saturday.
A proposal to save lives during protests, riots, and other public order incidents:
To any member of the Military "shoot" means "shoot", not stun. This is a failure of communication stemming from a lack of unified communication doctrine between Military and the law enforcement around them who issued the command to "hit it."
The word for engaging a suspect with a LESS-LETHAL weapon must not be "shoot" for the reason clearly illustrated - it can get people shot with regular bullets.
I propose that the order to fire any less-lethal projectile should universally be "STUN" and not "shoot"(or "hit it") in both Military and Law Enforcement circles to eliminate confusion. (Marker rounds in this case were intended to psychologically stun and prevent the driver from endangering the line)

THIS IS MAGA @0:45
I remember during the Gulf War if anything was said at all about George W, Bush that we were excoriated for being anti-American. Even when he turned left at Albuquerque and ended up in Iraq; THE WRONG NATION, we were told to be quiet and TRUST OUR PRESIDENT. Now it's just fine to have him bound and gagged in your pickup. It's ok to call him a pedo. It's ok to lie about what he's done economically. It's even OK to say "PUTIN IS WITH US!" MAGA keeps looking for that point where they lost America, but it was never "theirs" to begin with. Fascists and dictators were NEVER part of The United States and ultra-violence is only funny in cartoons.
"You see, people bound and gagged in the bed of a pickup truck is funny." - MAGA
No it isn't. It's gross, disturbing, ANTI-AMERICAN, historically sickening and vapid; like so much is with MAGA. What would our founding fathers have done with this guy? He wouldn't be free. That's for sure. Imo, this is an open threat to the sitting President and a call to arms against The United States. They need to be observed because dollars to donuts, they will commit violence when told to by Trump.
WHAT TO DO: NO BS
@0:45 If you see a truck with this graphic, do not approach. Get the license plate number and report it to your nearest FBI office. DO NOT go to local police. They can/will do nothing and they might unintentionally give your name to the person. But the FBI will watch these people and make sure they aren't planning anything and will not bother you.

Seen a number of slanderous memes directed at President Biden today. Thought you might want to defend your rhetoric by explaining your fascist candidate’s hatred of veterans and America. Seems relevent this weekend.
🚨 Ladies and gentlemen of Colorado 🚨
Our freedoms are under severe attack, and have been since the beginning of the legislative session of 2024. We have lost too many battles to these tyrants who have every intention of destroying life as we know it.
March 19, 2024 10am the “Assault Weapons Ban” will be heard at 10am. I want to be honest with you and warn you that they have every intention of passing this.
We will need to show up in droves, full force at both house and senate hearings. The house will hear this bill & they will pass it unless WE THE PEOPLE organize and flock to the Capitol in masses. YOUR VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD. The NRA, FPC, GOA, NAGR are not enough force to stop this.
You will need to testify IN PERSON, to ensure this does not happen. If you cannot be there in person, remote testimony is the only other solution. Written testimony does nothing but get filed with the bill upon adjournment.
I have created a tutorial on how to testify and what to expect on my website - the link is in my linktree in my bio. Please share with everyone you possibly can.
Spartan Defense and Armory in Colorado Springs is organizing a convoy departing from their location promptly at 6am on the 19th. For more information please reach out to them directly.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET INVOLVED.

Twenty-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who on Sunday (July 14) opened fire on former United States (US) president Donald Trump during his re-election campaign rally in Pennsylvania, had explosives in his car, American media reported. I joined WION (World Is One News) to discuss assorted #security issues and concerns related to the attempted assassination on Donald Trump. The questions raised in the program included:
- whether the attack could have been prevented or avoided
- to what extent is heated political discourse, including by the candidates and official office holders, is contributing to the divisions and the #security environment.
- is there a way to evaluate which agency was responsible for the failures.
- the Secret Service's inglorious recent past of other security lapses
- what can hostile foreign actors take away from watching the #security and political responses to the attack
- was the incident merely a #security failure or an #Intelligence failure in detecting red flags
- can we surmise motives or level of attack preparedness based on existing evidence? can we assess the shooter's mindset and level of involvement?
- how could a 20-year-old prepare so well for a political attack, and to what extent can this incident impact the race?
- what is the context and the conditions that made this event of particular importance and worthy of attention?
