"Six Tips for Loving Your Enemies

Choosing love over hate can be difficult, but ultimately it may be the path to healing for ourselves and our society."

This is what moral courage sounds like.

"James Talarico didn't hold back when describing what his Republican colleagues in the Texas Capitol have done " banning abortion even in cases of rape, incest, and threats to the mother's life.

Since that day, 26,000 Texas women have been forced to give birth after a rape. Infant and maternal mortality have spiked.

Pregnant women are being told to wait in ER parking lots until they go into sepsis.

And Talarico said he's watched these same politicians pass bills to hurt trans kids " some of the most vulnerable children in our communities " using their immense power to hunt them in plain sight.

He's wrestling with how to love his enemies while fighting back against legislation that's costing real lives.

That's the tension of faith under an authoritarian-leaning GOP."

Also, after the ship hits, the hits on the St Petersburg oil facility are dramatic... and telling; Moscow has tons of air defense systems, cities like St Petersburg have a guy with an AK trying to hit drones flying 80 mph from 500 yards away.

Not at all what Speaks said... he specifically called out many evangels, and rightly so.

About 7 mins in the vid at #1, there starts drone footage from the Ukrainian drones as they hit the ship.

Per the thread topic:

"In November 2016, following the election of Donald Trump as next US President, Hedges' predicted in Truthdig:

"The repression of dissents will soon resemble the repression under past totalitarian regimes. State security will become an invasive and palpable presence.

The most benign forms of opposition will be treated as if they are a threat to national security. Many, hoping to avoid the wrath of the state, will become compliant and passive.".

Not the least among them is the very politically liberal Chris Hedges, Harvard Divinity Grad and registered Presbyterian Minister.

Of course, he spend his early years as a War Correspondent in Central America, where he learned very vividly that War is a Racket.

His father was also a war veteran, a minister, and an antiwar activist.

They are waiting for their TACOS!!

"The hostilities come as Trump said in a podcast that Iran agreed to never have a nuclear weapon but could change its mind before a deal is finalized.

Trump added that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is involved with negotiations and the two will "probably will meet at some point."

[]

"Speaking with lawmakers about the state of U.S.-Iran talks, Secretary of State Marco Rubio struck a less declarative tone than Trump.

Rubio said Iran has not made any concessions on its nuclear program that satisfy Washington and added that sanctions relief will hinge on Iran giving up its enriched uranium and dismantling its nuclear program.

Rubio said what's currently being discussed between Washington and Tehran is the terms of the negotiations."

Ah, well... glad that's all settled! Where's Trump's Nobel, er, Trump Peace Prize??

Russian Warship DESTROYED, St Petersburg IN FLAMES; MASSIVE Damage in Kuwait | The Enforcer News

Jun 3, 2026
St. Petersburg is in flames after a massive drone attack which has destroyed the Russian Corvette the Boikiy and a large oil depot and transfer port in the city.

Russian air defenses, which consisted of AK rifles and Light Machine Guns were rapidly overwhelmed in the city area.

The attack is one of the most embarrassing Russia has suffered on the second largest and most important city in Russia.

Meanwhile massive damage has been documented in Kuwait, after an Iranian missile last night slammed into the Kuwait international airport terminal 1, leading to 1 killed and 63 wounded as a result of the attack.

Currently the Iranians are working even faster towards a nuclear weapon according to the IRGC, with the President of the US now saying that Iran is agreeing to everything and he would love to meet the Supreme leader of Iran."

Trump ran out of TACOs?

Trump Admin giving new meaning to the book and speech by Maj. General, Smedley Darlington Butler, the most decorated Marine in history, War is a Racket:

"Our boys were sent off to die with beautiful ideals painted in front of them. No one told them that dollars and cents were the real reason they were marching off to kill and die." " General Smedley Butler

short speech read by someone else:

Much like 1Nut is a serial joke.

lmao @ 1Nut's technical defense that finger-raping could only be prosecuted as sexual assault in NY under their laws.

It makes SUCH a difference!

'Member when Vance pointed out that Trump is, "America's Hitler"?

I guess that if someone is going to be right just once in their life, it's nice that they are really, really right!

All the Trumpers that have denied this Nazification of America should be totally ashamed of being such unpatriotic tools.

"To get ahead of the changing sentiments, Israel and their American allies, like U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, are attempting to rebrand the aid we give to Israel each year.

Rather than the annual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlays, anything we give Tel Aviv will be "based on trade," according to Huckabee.

The goal of this shift is to undermine the notion that Israel is dependent on American hand-outs and that the U.S. taxpayer is footing the bill for the horrific scenes coming out of Gaza and Lebanon. There is, of course, a major catch.

--

"The catch is Section 224, cleverly buried deep in the massive National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which is entitled "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative."

This initiative transitions the traditional aid relationship into a deeper partnership between the U.S. and Israel in many aspects of technological research and development and defense production, and would also give Israel unprecedented access to U.S. technology development and "data fusion."

Doesn't know better than to continue to shill for a President who's own DOJ testified that he illegally attempted to rig the 2020 election.

So, shameless hussy

Pardoned and now an ICE Agent.

Pardoned and now an ICE Agent.

Indeed... the Watergate Hearings sort of seemed to make up some for the McCarthy Hearings, which I only read about...yet here we are now so much later with even worse Government, and our President is a much worse Crook.

Thanks so much, Trumpers.

Trump's catastrophic miscalculation in Iran and refusal to accept the inevitability of defeat is pushing us towards a global depression and ensuring the suffering and immiseration of millions.

"Ouchies!"

And before them the Lost Gen, who elected FDR 4 times and won the Second World War.

The Silent Gen and some Boomers gave us Reagan... although they also ended the Vietnam War and ran Nixon out of Office.
