Red State Texas-- with all their oil-- is a net recipient of federal tax dollars every year-- and still they can't get their act together.

Worse, the Lone Star State has the privilege of automatically inflicting two Republican US Senators on the rest of America for six year terms.

AIPAC funding has become an election issue for millions and millions of Americans.

Gosh, I hope young James Talarico (D) isn't sitting on the fence by not denouncing Israel's genocidal campaign against the Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank, all funded by the hardworking American taxpayer of all faiths.

#1 C0RI0LANUS is very confusing.

He damns every Republican in Texas running for US Senate...

... but he also posts this:

So, which is it, C0RI0LANUS:

Democrats or Republicans?

You seem to love you some Republicans, C0RI0LANUS.

A deep and abiding love, C0RI0LANUS.

Along with your abject hatred of Jews.

Hating Murderers is not the same as Hating Jews unless they are the Same people.

Smotrich, Ben Gvir,Netanyahu, Katz,are all Genocidaires.

Many IDF are foot soldiers, Israeli Einsatzgruppen; Mass Killers.

The "Settlers" in the West Bank are having almost daily Pogroms against Palestinians whose lands they Covet.

Is it "Antisemitic" to Hate them?

Mr.FRIEND?

#6 Just three (3) quick questions before we engage further, little insecure boi:

1. Do you honestly believe that the moon landings were completely faked, and that Neil Armstrong, etc., were just actors in a warehouse made to "look" like the moon's service?

2. Do you honestly believe that Trump won in 2020?

3. Do you honestly believe that my account is, as claimed, actually a 21 year Israeli PSYOP agent Drudge.com "veteran,"...

...and that The American Conservative "proved" that "A_Friend is actually PRO-ISRAEL PSY-OPS?

Well, little insecure boi?

What say you?

Flesh-eating screwworm arrives in US with first case detected in Texas cattle

Way to go, pedo pisswig.

FTA: "A flesh-eating parasite that feeds on warm-blooded animals has been detected in the US for the first time since 1966."

1966!

Just off the top of my head, the UK had recently abolished the death penalty, de-criminalized homosexuality, won the soccer World Cup, and this song was making its way into wedding halls everywhere: YouTube

But nobody is going to cherish screw-worms or bedbugs.

Atta boy, Donnie!
