The Freedom From Religion Foundation is calling on Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to retract a recent unconstitutional threat to eject citizens from the state Senate chamber if they do not stand during official prayers. During the Senate's Aug. 15 session, Sen. Angela Paxton delivered a Christian invocation "in the name of Jesus, who has saved us, who keeps us safe, and who is coming again." Immediately afterward, Patrick admonished members of the public gallery who had remained seated: "For those of you who didn't stand, next time you come to the gallery, you stand for the invocation. It's respecting the Senate. If you don't stand for the invocation, I'll have you removed. We asked you to stand. I've never seen a gallery ever have any members in my 17 years of people who refused to stand for the invocation. It will not be tolerated." read more
When 'Abdul' walked into a San Diego court to plead his political asylum case, ten veterans showed up for his hearing, unarmed, but dressed in hats and shirts to signify their military credentials as a "show of force." Called 'Battle Buddies,' they support Afghan refugees facing deportation. "Masked agents of the federal government are snatching up our friends, people who took life in our name and have done nothing wrong," said the organizer of 'Battle Buddies.' These veterans recognize the sacrifices Afghans made to help the US military, including Abdul who was tortured by the Taliban. But since the Trumpf junta has terminated many of the programs which protected them from deportation, Afghans now fear they will be repatriated into the cruel hands of the Taliban. read more
JD Vance was booed and heckled with chants of "Free DC!" and "From DC to Palestine, occupation is a crime!" during a photo op with national guard troops at Union Station in Washington. The VPOTUS was handing out hamburgers to troops at the Shake Shack alongside SECDEF Pete "Hic!" Kegsbreath and White House pit fiend Stephen Miller. Meanwhile, a crowd of samaritans protested outside and shouted slogans and expletives as the three juntists sauntered into Union Station and the restaurant. Vance bleated that Washington DC was overrun with "vagrants, drug addicts, the chronically homeless and the mentally ill." Addressing the rightfully angry people, Vance called them "crazy" and "communists," then whined: "It's kind of bizarre that we have a bunch of old, primarily white people who are out there protesting the policies that keep people safe when they've never felt danger in their entire lives." read more
A federal advisory committee of pro-corporate aviation "experts" is telling the Trumpf junta there should be only one pilot, not two, in an airplane's cockpit. European airline executives have been pushing their regulators for only one pilot in the cockpit through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and they are lobbying the corporate-friendly GOP Trumpf regime to agree. Citing safety reasons, the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and 43 senators from both political parties railed against this idiotic cost-saving proposal. US Senators Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) sent a bipartisan letter to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, urging the FAA to vigorously oppose single-pilot operations for commercial airline operations: Letter to DOT. Nota Bene: The US is also facing a critical shortage of FAA Air Traffic Controllers impacting the aviation industry. read more
For the black soldier Quornelius Radford who allegedly shot five white soldiers in Georgia who constantly tormented him, Dummkopf Trumpf carped:
"The shooter is now in custody, and the Army Criminal Investigation Division is on site to ensure that the perpetrator of this atrocity, which is exactly what it is, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The entire nation is praying for the victims and their families, and hopefully they'll fully recover, and we can put this chapter behind. But we're not going to forget what happened. We're going to take very good care of this person who did this, this horrible person."

For these two white lunatics (most likely MAGAts) who dismembered their fellow soldier in a far worse atrocity: Not a peep from the Dotard-in-Chief.
White Texans and Floridians have plenty of money to purchase firearms and ammunition. No surprise: Both states lead America with mass shootings. Link: www.forbes.com
The Russians are increasing their attacks on Ukraine, the Israelis are getting ready to launch Operation Barbarossa II on the hapless Palestinians in Gaza, the US sent a strike force to the Caribbean causing Venezuela to mobilize its militia, and morbidly obese sleepy Dummkopf Trumpf wants a Nobel Peace Prize? images.timesnownews.com
The 2024 Democratic Party ignored the antiwar progressives who were rightfully calling out Israel's ethnic cleansing last year. At least 60 universities and colleges nationwide held vigils and protests. At the 2024 DNC Convention in Chicago, no pro-Palestinian or antiwar Samaritans were allowed to speak. Come 5 Nov 2024 those antiwar progressives stayed home (6,265,888).
The hardworking American taxpayer has given Israel more aid than any other nation since World War II, granting it more than $260 billion. Israelis enjoy a top ten universal healthcare network and a social security system rated higher than America's. Can an American say the same?
Now ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu is mobilizing 60,000 IDF reservists for the final offensive to occupy Gaza.
How many more Palestinians will the IDF butcher with American money, munitions, and complicity?
