It runs directly inside the web version of Google Earth and uses the same 3D imagery and terrain.


Chalk up one more for the Dotard.


The Democrats' disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and Democrats (12 years) each elected two presidents, and Republicans gained control of the Senate for 13 years, the House for 17 years, governorships, 55% to 45%, and state legislatures, 59% to 41%

In the UK, four Samaritans from Palestine Action were cruelly sentenced to a combined total of more than 25 years in prison, after a judge callously ruled that they could be treated as terrorists. Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani were convicted of criminal damage last month in relation to a well-intentioned 2024 raid against a murderous Israeli arms factory in Bristol.

The "ZF" is the powerful analog of AIPAC in the UK

As he futilely tried against Democrat NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani in 2025, AIPAC attack hippo US Senator John Fetterman (D-Israel) smeared Graham Platner (D-ME) on Faux News after the progressive easily became the Democratic candidate for the US Senate, representing the non-Islamophobic people of Maine:

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)"Donald J. Trump's claim that a peace deal with Iran was imminent suffered a stunning rebuke on Thursday when a flotilla of warships from the Iranian navy blockaded The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.


    Trust isn't destroyed by evidence. It's destroyed when identity becomes more important than reality.


    Subsidized by the peace-loving, hard-working American taxpayer and employing US-provided munitions, the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) continue their gruesome Jeffery Dahmer-like serial killing spree in Gaza and Lebanon. As of 12 June 2026, the IDF has now killed 73,070 Palestinians in Gaza, including 20,179 children and ~3,700 people in Lebanon, including at least 200 children. Moreover, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir suggested that the IDF kidnap women and children from Lebanon. Since 1948 under both Democratic and Republican Party administrations, the US has sent both the Labor and Likud governments of Israel, a prosperous and nuclear-armed country with universal healthcare for all her residents, over $317.9bn, the most US economic aid given to any nation in the world.

    Americans are subsiding the national equivalent of Jeffrey Dahmer, a sex offender and serial killer that targeted vulnerable youth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last century

    Jake Tapper Warns Viewers As He Dives Into Trump Nipple' Abuse Claim From Bombshell Epstein Meeting

    Maggie Haberman and co-author Jonathan Swan dropped an epic deep dive on Wednesday, based on their upcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, that was chock-full of splashy revelations.

    Those revelations included a stunning account of a Situation Room meeting on the release of the Epstein Files that veered into what the authors described as "the nipple materials."


    An FBI document from the U.S. Department of Justice Jeffrey Epstein files contains extraordinary allegations involving President Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and a Trump-owned golf course " claims that appear to have originated from a single tipster who contacted federal authorities in 2021. The FBI intake report does not identify the golf course referenced by the caller. However, the allegation appears in files connected to Epstein, whose sprawling Palm Beach mansion served as the center of many of the activities that ultimately led to his conviction and the federal sex-trafficking investigation that followed.
