War is awful and civilian casualties are worse. I'm sure you understand a government's obligation to do everything they can to protect their citizens. Therefore, you should not give the regime a pass when it decides to use children as human shields. Civilized nations do not allow their military forces to use schools for military purposes.

Makes sense - you'd think on a special day like Memorial Day more vigilance would be extended to this great symbol - unless, of course, you hate the country.

Young Wembly looks like a young Chamberlain.

It's got nothing to do with Trump is a victim. It's hundreds of American citizens that have been wronged via disgusting political prosections. I wasn't the one that started posting all the bullshit about the Restitution Fund - you did!!

Yeah, honestly - there are a whole lot of assumptions and speculation in your question. There is a very messy negotiation going on now for months, with all kinds of deception and talking points. I've absolutely no clue what is true and what is not. So it's better to just see what happens instead of micromanage every little agenda item.

Take all the victory laps you want. The devil is in the details. IF a bunch of people don't actually get killed, the nuclear capability is disarmed, and the SOH is opened - you call it anything you like. It will be good to get this over with.

Well I think Trump is an acquired taste for many people. That's the way it worked for me. The last couple have weeks have been kind of historic whereby the RINOs like Cassidy and Massey have gotten the boot. It's becoming the MAGA party now. I think many republicans are tired of "talkers" and inaction on the part of DC and republicans. Just do something or get out. Trump is a man of action - like him, tolerate him or hate him. He will never be a DC swamp rat - and that's good enough for me.

It's just wonderful to have your approval.

Yup, it's good to have Trump as President. After the 2 tier justice system enacted by Biden/Garland - it's good to fight fire with fire. Violent felons in sanctuary cities or rioting for George Floyd?? Give em a pass - or cash less bail and a slap on the wrist for hundreds. Trespass in the Capitol to protest? Lock 'em up and throw away the key. 100% conviction rate in D.C. No mercy.

The number will likely be in the hundreds. 1600 protesters were convicted - the bulk of them on misdemeanor charges of "trespassing" and "parading" - all NON-VIOLENT offenses. Several had charges upgraded with "terrorist enhancements" and "sedition" - adding years to their sentences. All were denied bail and many held in pre-trial detention for up to 2 years. You start with the most egregious - like the Veteran that was given a sentence of 17 years. What was his crime? Shaking a metal fence (temporary protective barrier). That's it. What was he charged with? Destruction of government property. He was denied bail. Held for 2 years in pre-trial detention. Had no prior arrests. Charges were upgraded to "conspiracy to commit sedition" - adding many years to his base sentence. All charges were non-violent. So you start with the easy non-violent persecutions and work your way up until you run out of money. That was the Biden police state, set up to insure no one EVER protested Democratic election results again and punish American citizens thinking they could exercising their First Amendment rights. Although hundreds of innocent lives were ruined by the DOJ's reign of terror - a few may be able to reclaim their reputations.

The usual response from you while calling those you disagree with "cultists". LOL Just say what you really mean "I'm better than you and your opinion doesn't matter".

Pretty easy to understand this attitude from Israelis after the Gaza Palestinians had a grand time killing men, woman and children on Oct 7th. Tough to forgive those barbaric acts - and the dopes actually filmed hours of their depravity.

No problem. You should always be skeptical. But you will have to be more specific on what issues you mean. I'm retired. I work out in the morning. I read most of the day or listen to podcasts while I'm working outside or traveling. I read most of the night, almost no TV. I'm looking for more insights rather than surface level 4 minute TV clips. So that is just me - I like the deep dive stuff, but again, I can afford it - since I could never do this when I was working. I read The Federalist every day. Same with American Greatness. I like the DailyWire a lot. I get lots of info from DHS & DOJ websites. I love podcasts. So like I said, you'll need to be more specific.

You're such a great guy Change - just call me a cynic. I tend to look at the big picture on these issues: 1) You and your buddies are assuming POTUS will loot the fund that has been otherwise designated for those that have been severely wronged. I don't buy it for 1 second. 2) You did a wonderful job of quoting almost every RINO that can't stand Trump. Big deal - old news. There is a war going on in the Republican Party just like the Democratic Party. RINOs are getting replaced and the country is behind Trump. I would not give RINO's like Cassidy or McConnell one ounce of credibility, when they are looking to pay back Trump politically. But that is me. 3) My distrust and cynicism is rooted in this basic dichotomy: All over the country you have thousands of VIOLENT criminals who are repeat offenders freed on cashless bail EVERY day. It's stunning to see - and has been going on for years now. Chicago is absolutely amazing with this. 4) In contrast - you have a clearly political Jan 6th prosecution with a 100% conviction rate that swept up HUNDREDS of NON-VIOLENT offenders for "trespassing" - walking into the Capitol and right out after taking a few selfies and in cases escorted by the Capitol police. They were DENIED bail and held in pre-detention facilities for up to 2 years! Trials were severely backed up and they sat in jail while charges like "sedition" were padded for the DC kangaroo court. There is no way to square the circle other than a political prosecution set up to punish any supporter that protested what they felt was an unfair election process. And likewise, politically reward your rioters, looters and criminals that caused 25 deaths, billions in damages and thousands injured during the 2020 riots and the current era of dealing with violent crime in democratic strongholds. Biden justice: Support Trump - we will bankrupt or ruin your life any way possible. Support Democrats - no problem, here's your bail and in many cases, we will just drop the charges. That is the big picture.

That's really hilarious that all assume this is set up for Trump to steal a fund dedicated to those that were victims of political prosecution. So sad.

That's pretty much the point. Certainly don't have a problem with Muslims, but hosting radical Islam and Sharia Law are another issue. Just as I wouldn't have any tolerance for the KKK or BLM.

Hey Marco - it's real simple and we all know the truth. If you are a tiny Jewish nation - you are entitled to nothing - you are not even allowed to defend yourself. But if you are anyone else - you get a free pass all day long. The growth of anti-semitism around the world is stunning - but particularly disgraceful in the US universities and Europe. The Western world should know better.

Kid - no problem. If we can't agree that Iran has killed thousands of their own citizens for protesting, then you are correct - it's pointless.

Yeah, the regime is full of great people. They only murdered 40,000 protestors in 2 months.

That must be a joke. Obama has never created anything of value. Oh I forgot, he did kill Osama.

Like I said- there is a military blockade against Gaza. We all know the history of weapons being smuggled into Gaza. If humanitarian goods need to be shipped in by aid organizations- they work with Israel to get the aid into Gaza, weapons free. So they violated the blockade. Very stupid of them. Classic FAFO.

What's the big deal? There is a strict naval blockade on Gaza via ships. So these idiots decided to test the Israeli military - that is their own fault. What did they expect? Everyone and their brother knows there is a blockade.

It's good to have our DC Swamp creature, Adesigar, back to set us straight. The guy that would have had all the January 6th protestors shot on sight - or at least have them jailed for life. The DC swamp is full of lunatics. Fortunately, Joe Biden's banana republic is getting its comeuppance - and they can't do a thing about it. America wholeheartedly rejected Biden & Garland's police state. Our citizens don't like the idea of having our jails stuffed with political prisoners - for many, whose only crime was walking into the capitol's open doors and protesting election results.

Greg is one of the happiest guys I know. He entertains himself reading the ridiculous claims in this thread. Don't let it ruin your day.

A lot of lives were ruined by the Feds on January 6th. Now there will be some justice for some people with a restitution fund. It's a wonderful settlement. Trump had to spend multi millions to fight off corrupt law fare, 5X, no less. You guys just can't stand it when things get made right. Too bad.
