Along with the emotional toll, Smith's relatives are dealing with the financial burden of keeping their daughter on life support. With weeks to go until possible viability, the bills will continue to add up.

Every eleven minutes someone is killed by a firearm in the US or 132 KIA daily. In 2022, the American population decreased by 48,000 because of gun violence (per the CDC). What other modern Western country tolerates wartime casualty rates like this? Will the US reach the fabled 50,000 mark under the Trumpf junta? FFS, Trumpf was almost whacked with an assault rifle. Stupid is as stupid does.

#3: An ACAB tsunami will soon be upon us like ugly on ape. Many people have already felt the sting of the fascist baton. Thank you Republican voters!

#1: I'll see your Shirer and raise you one Terkel.

#87: Only cool people truly know what 86'd means.
Hi Horstngraben: I was never one of the cool kids, but ~50 years ago I knew what "86" meant. So, I was cool without knowing it.

'This American carnage stops here.' (Dotard Trumpf Inauguration Speech, 20 Jan 2017)

In nuclear-powered 21st century America, there are at least 371 food banks helping poor and hungry people throughout the country. And here we have 60,000 metric tons of food being wasted thanks to the Trumpf junta and DOGE.

Who will the trolls, MAGAts, or Republicans blame for this? Biden? LBJ? FDR? Who?

NYU Withholds Diploma From Graduate Who Said "Genocide in Gaza" During Commencement Speech. Compassionate Democrat says: 'Good luck getting a job'

NYU is withholding a diploma from commencement speaker Logan Rozos who accurately called the ethnic cleansing in Gaza an American taxpayer-funded "genocide" as students applauded.

Israel has received $251.2 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars from the US since 1959. Palestinian casualties during the Nakba: In Gaza, 61,709 killed, (including 17,492 children), and more than 111,588 wounded or maimed. In the West Bank: 905 killed (including at least 181 children); more than 7,370 injured. Total Israeli casualties since 7 Oct 2023: 1,139 dead, at least 8,730 injured.

Of course Jared Moskowitz would attack this courageous young man:

Since Thursday, the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) have intensified operations across Gaza, killing more than 100 people, as Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to continue bombings, even as Trumpf fecklessly suggested establishing a "freedom zone" in the enclave.

So, those 100 people are Hamas? Are there 250,000 Hamas fighters in Gaza?

Basically, Trumpf, Marco Rubio, and the rest of the junta accomplished nothing towards peace as they enjoyed delicious food and emir-like hospitality in Doha, Riyadh, and Istanbul. These mini-vacations were all paid for by the hard-working American taxpayer, just like the murder of these Palestinians. Ukraine PM Volodomir Zelensky didn't waste time in Istanbul when Putin did not appear, so he flew to Albania for discussions.

Trumpf came home from his mini-vacation with a brand new plane and defense contracts to enrich the CEOs and Chairmans of the military-industrial complex. And Trumpf wants a Nobel Peace Prize?

International arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the ICC remain active for Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin. Indictments are merely allegations. Both defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Russia Imprisons Australian Volunteer to 13 Years Prison

Oscar Jenkins (33) was sentenced to 13 years in a maximum-security prison for fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, state prosecutors in the Russian-controlled parts of eastern Ukraine said. Jenkins was found guilty by a court in Luhansk of participating in an armed conflict as a mercenary. He had fought for Ukraine against Russia from Mar-Dec 2024. Australian FM Penny Wong said that her government was "appalled" by the sentencing, calling it a "sham trial" and urged Russia to treat Jenkins in accordance with international humanitarian law. Australia has repeatedly called for the release of Jenkins, who is originally from Melbourne, since he was captured by Russian forces in December.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Quit Her Post Because of Trumpf

"I was US Ambassador to Ukraine. I resigned because of Trumpf's foreign policy."

Ambassador Brink couldn't tolerate the manner in which Trumpf was dealing with Russia. She describes some of the miseries of the invasion:

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, it has done what can only be described as pure evil: killed thousands of civilians, including 700 children, with missiles and drones that hit their homes and apartments in the dead of night.

It has committed over 150,000 war crimes, abducted 20,000 children from their families, and forced millions of men, women and children to flee into Europe and elsewhere.

Netanyahu Says Israel Must Wean Itself Off US Aid

"Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel needs to begin the move towards ending its reliance on US military aid amid disputes with the Trumpf junta over a wide range of national security issues.

Netanyahu: "We receive close to four billion dollars for arms. I think we will have to wean ourselves off of American security aid, just as we weaned ourselves off of American economic aid."

Vladimir Putin doesn't want Iran attacked, so Trumpf is following orders and Netanyahu knows it.

Dotard Trumpf Told Soldiers Hitler Gave Speech at the Eiffel Tower

FTA:

Trumpf believed US dominance of airports helped win the war for America's independence. He said Frederick Douglass "has done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more," 122 years after the former slave's death. Trump referred to 9/11 as 7/11, and he theorized that the Spanish Flu of 1918 "probably ended" World War II. And on and on. Now the Dotard has a new imaginary historical event: Adolf Hitler's speech at the Eiffel Tower in Paris when the Germans occupied France during the Second World War.

Hitler, historians know, never gave a speech at the Eiffel Tower. Der Fuhrer visited Paris shortly after the fall of the city, when the Germans occupied France in June 1940. He toured several landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, but he did not deliver a public speech there. Those sneaky French actually cut the Eiffel Tower's elevator cables, forcing Hitler to walk to the top, but he reportedly declined. The German military governor also did not destroy French landmarks as ordered after Der Fuhrer returned to Berlin.

From the article, the Palestinian leadership (whatever is left) had no idea about this scheme. I imagine the smartest man in the area, King Abdullah of Jordan may have had an idea thanks to his efficient intelligence service.

BTW: Millions of Palestinians reside in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan. Per Wiki:

Jordan: Some 2.18 million Palestinians were registered as refugees in 2016. As of 2014, around 370,000 live in ten refugee camps, with the biggest one being Baqa'a refugee camp with over 104,000 residents, followed by Al-Wehdat refugee camp with over 51,500 residents. Minority Rights Group International estimated that there are around 3 million Palestinians in Jordan.

Lebanon: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reported 489,292 registered Palestine refugees as of March 2023 but estimated that no more than 250,000 were then resident in Lebanon.

Wouldn't Felon Musk just love to download CERN's data into his super AI computer Colossus?

#58: Yup. I never heard or read anywhere otherwise. We used that term in the stores in the 1970s and 1980s for potential shoplifters or someone who wasn't buying anything, but wasting our time. "Joe, 86-er walked in...."

#2: Hi Corky: And in Trumpf's diminished capacities, he thinks that all Arabs are the same, not understanding the tribal nature, linguistic variations, or schools within Sunni Islam. Think mixing Apaches with Iroquois on a reservation.

On language differences, I used the word "crazy" that I learned in Iraq with someone from North Africa who used a different word for it. I switched to tiara akali and then he got it.

Hi Lamplighter: Possibly is right. There are some attorneys on Drudge Retort who could probably weigh in on this better than me.

Hare Krishna Sect Cult Member Tulsi Gabbard said "James Comey should be put behind bars for issuing a hit on Trumpf."

The Trumpf junta ruined their own prosecution of James Comey should the case ever come to trial. Defense counsel would argue prejudicial publicity.

In 1970, President Richard Nixon realized he made an an off-the-cuff comment that Charles Manson, the California hippie-cult leader, was guilty, directly or indirectly, of "eight murders without reason."

While Air Force One circled Washington for nearly a half hour Monday night on a flight from Denver, Nixon drafted a statement that declared, "The last thing I would do is prejudice the legal rights of any person, in any circumstances."

Manson's defense attorneys had asked a Los Angeles judge to declare a mistrial, alleging prejudicial publicity. The court denied the initial motion "without prejudice," wanting to make certain what Nixon actually said.
