  1. This is what American universities are churning out.

    “Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America,” in which he explained why he attacked the United States.

    The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again.

    Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance to a hostile power.

    This is not limited to TikTok; similar videos have been posted on other social media platforms.

    The Guardian had a copy of “Letter to America” posted, but once these TikToks went viral, the Guardian took it down, which has only led to more interest in the letter and conspiracies from TikTokers who say this is part of the media and the powers that control it trying to silence the truth.”

  2. Biden’s Gestapo leader is lying under oath again. And Democrats of course try to shut down the questioning.

    “JUST IN: Democrat tries to cut off Rep. Clay Higgins after he triggers FBI Director Wray about questions regarding FBI informants’ involvement on January 6.

    Higgins accused the FBI of filling “ghost busses” with FBI informants who dressed up like Trump supporters.

    After Higgins asked Wray about “ghost busses,” one Democrat interjected.

    After a minute of back and forth, Higgins was allowed to continue.

    “These buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters and deployed onto our capitol on January 6th. Your day is coming.””

  3. Well, Democrats created these monsters, so not really surprised, or sympathetic.

    Trapped law makers and staff….. sounds insurrectiony.

    Don’t worry, they won’t get 10 to 20 year sentences like parading GrandMas.

    Language warning!

  5. Darn those Jews, attacking a hospital!

    Oh wait no, just a Hamas gun running op hiding inside a hospital.

    “”Troops found Hamas uniforms “that were thrown on the hospital floor so that the terrorists could escape in civilian guise

    These findings unequivocally prove that the hospital was used for terror, in complete violation of international law

    We entered the operation in Shifa at a time that was correct for us operationally and intelligence-wise, and also considering the evacuation of the hospital – there were many more people there before and it would have endangered our forces. Hamas wanted to obtain photos of the IDF harming civilians and the sick, and we did a focused and high-quality operation after careful preparation in advance. You have to give this operation time, there are still a lot of people there, and you have to manage it at the right pace””

  6. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Alert!

    “The flag in question that has Rolling Stone’s panties in a twist is this one, which was flown on six frigates George Washington commissioned during the Revolutionary War.

    It’s also the official maritime ensign for the state of Massachusetts.

    Just say you’re an anti-Christian bigot.”

  7. NBC and the Lancet, 2 politicized groups pushing more false trash on the public, just like they did with Covid.

  8. Gayle King is an ass.

    “HERE was the relevant transcript, both immediately before and after (the part in the video is bolded):

    Gayle King: Can you tell us what your life was like when you were living there on October 7? You like living in Israel.

    Thomas Hand: Yes. It’s a difficult place to live. We’re constantly being bombarded by rockets, thousands and thousands and thousands of rockets for the last 20 years. The greatest movement towards peace that Israel ever did was we pulled out of Gaza. You know, Israel has never made such a big step towards peace, and it got us nothing. They didn’t make even a little baby step back to go towards peace.

    King: But now, this seems to be all about politics. What do you say about that? You know, you have innocent children — Palestinians who are dying, innocent Israeli children who are dying, and no one seems to be able to say enough, stop that.

    Hand: I’m not interested in politics at all. My only concern is getting Emily back, whatever that takes to get her back.

    Tony Dokoupil: Thank you for being here, Thomas, for keeping her name in our minds and the attention focused as it should be on their release. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I can barely talk to you because I think about my own daughter and I think about —

    Hand: It’s a living nightmare. It is hell. Hell on earth.”

  10. The difference in contents of packaging has gone on for decades. It does make baking more difficult. Some people use partial packages to make up the difference or adjust in other ways. Companies use psychology to get us to keep buying whether it is cake mix, chips, ice cream etc. That is not new for those of us who went through inflation in the 70’s.

  11. Yep

    ~ Astute grocery shoppers will know that shrinkflation isn’t new. Switching to smaller sizes is an age-old technique to deal with tighter margins, especially for makers of packaged goods. But food costs are rising so rapidly right now that the practice is becoming more widespread, hitting restaurants and supermarkets. ~
