Israeli official: Emerging US-Iran deal is ‘bad,’ shows Tehran it can weaponize Strait of Hormuz The unnamed official says that US President Donald Trump believes that the deal will be economic in basis and allows the opening of the key waterway without any progress dependent on concessions on Iran’s nuclear program. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-official-emerging-us-iran-deal-is-bad-shows-tehran-it-can-weaponize-strait-of-hormuz/Sun, 24 May 2026 06:41:25 +0000You're always trying to paint this as a 'leftist' issue when the facts (so far) point to just a mentally unstable individual who has previous issues with this. From AI - 'The suspect, 21-year-old Nasire Best, was a Maryland man identified by law enforcement sources as having a documented history of mental health issues and prior encounters with the Secret Service. He was issued a "stay-away order" after a previous incident in July 2025 when he attempted to enter the White House and was sent to a psychiatric ward.' But don't let the facts get in the way of your bias and finger pointing.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:38:37 +0000What a "feel good" little story that is. However, there are no credible similarities between Africans coming to Thailand these days and Brits going to Canada post WWII. I was a child in the 1950s and yes, there were severe economic and social problems for ordinary people in the UK, but it certainly was not one of the world's "shi tholes". Reaction to those conditions inspired the "Angry Young Men" to create a unique outburst of artwork - mainly literary - that defined the era. The 1960s brought what can only be described as a cultural revolution that made itself felt worldwide, and nowhere more so than in the USA. What did Canada produce in those two decades besides full bellies and self-satisfied attitudes?Sun, 24 May 2026 06:38:31 +0000You want me to type in bold Brewster, if your having troule reading English ??Sun, 24 May 2026 06:38:21 +0000-groundSun, 24 May 2026 06:37:16 +0000Of course it's not that simple... The Navy has to follow orders. The question is, who's ordering them not to enforce the UK's maritime boundaries? (That's a rhetorical question. We all know the answer.) Which is not a violation of any international laws, BTW.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:36:39 +0000What would you have the French police do? Not doing anything illegal in France. Are we blaming illegal migrants for Brit holday-makers' traffic jams?!? It's an island, fer Chrissakes! Blame Brexit and the stupid regulations designed to make us all safer. Yeah, right.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:35:44 +0000The need for more institutionalization of people who are risks to public safety. "Best, who was taken down by members of the Secret Service Uniformed Division, had previously been involuntarily committed on June 26 for obstructing vehicular traffic at 15th Street and E Street NW, before being arrested again on July 10 for Unlawful Entry" https://nypost.com/2026/05/23/us-news/white-house-on-lockdown-after-dozens-of-shots-fired/Sun, 24 May 2026 06:35:31 +0000The self-claimed stable genius who pretends to love America is at it yet again. In the last few days Trump and his Administration are setting new lows in terms of how fascist, how 1984-ish, and how insane the President himself can appear. Go back to 2015. Imagine someone like the Coen Brothers made a movie about a future President who behaves as Trump behaves. Nobody would have produced it, as it would have seemed more bizarre than reality could ever be. It would have elicited the old Mark Twain quote about fiction: "It's much more difficult to write, because it has to be believable." Two things will be noted to show just how sick this President and this Administration are: "The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, calling the information about the prosecutions “partisan propaganda.” So noting the reality that a mob told by Trump to march to the Capitol, a mob which beat 140 police, set up gallows to hang the Vice President, and represented a threat to the lives of elected officials, is "partisan propaganda". Erase history and it no longer exists, at least that is what trump and his lackeys want. This coincides with the new slush fund which is planning to award the people who beat cops, tried to overthrow democracy, etc., with substantial sums of money. The head of Proud Boys said, "I'm not greedy; I think $2 million to $5 million is fair". That man was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 22 years. Crime pays...until it is erased from official DoJ history. Yahoo NewsTrump's Justice Department scrubs its website of news rel...The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, calling the information about the prosecutions "partisa Trump spent the other evening staying up late doing his usual rage Tweeting, and among the gems was this. This is the President of the United States, fresh off his loss in Iran, posting a thinly veiled threat against a NATO ally. The amoeba and jellyfish of the Republican Party, absent any sort of backbone, ought to be screaming for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. One of Trump's prominent former lawyers---Ty Cobb---states outright that Trump is insane. Rational people would not argue with that assessment.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:33:46 +0000Wow, who would have thought that flooding the streets with soldiers, police AND ICE would bring crime rates down (sarcasm since you seem to struggle with that). ANY city would have crime rates drop if there are thousands more law enforcement but there's a little thing called budgets. Let's just focus on the NG and have AI answer this for you - 'Deploying the National Guard in Washington, DC, costs roughly $1 million to $1.8 million per day, or between $55 million and $93 million per month . These operational costs cover military pay, benefits, lodging, food, and transportation for the thousands of Guard members deployed in the capital.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:33:04 +0000Today is the last day of the Premier league .

'All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to stay silent' — Edmund Burke.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:29:44 +0000british accent. just saying.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:29:17 +0000People who think this is due to politics or parties are hopelessly naive, or perhaps looking for change they can believe in! You were a teenager once. Would a curfew have guided your actions? Eff no, a curfew would only make it more fun to avoid the police! Mindless property damage, though, must be peer pressure. It can hardly be blamed on parental influence. Yes, the demise of the nuclear family and the fact corporados have made sure both parents need to work to eat are major components. Realise that kids today don’t have the benefit of growing up with the Nelsons or Cleavers. They don’t have those 1950s role models. Yep, our fathers drank and our Mums popped benzos but we only had one car and a hot meal on the table every night entire family required no excuses. Hot breakfast with family, too, and packed fresh school lunch in a paper bag. We didn’t need water bottles because water everywhere was safe to drink. So they don’t have the 1950s and they didn’t have the freedom of the 1960s, either. They never learned to believe in anything, never thought to take a stand and stick to it. Which brings us to consumerism. Every kid has to have the right jeans, the right shoes, the right backpack. Other kids kill for those shoes. My family shopped in thrift stores; as a teenaged hippie, I ’shopped’ in the Digger Free Store. Gotta admit, life looks pretty empty these days. It’s as hardscrabble as the dustbowl in the cities. Excel at school only to have no job waiting. My PhD nephew works at the post office. The answer lies in giving kids a purpose because you’ll never succeed in telling them what to do. Don’t bring race into it. Often the hardest-working kids are minorities.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:27:11 +0000More Mayhem / DC Dem demographics. It ain't (just) the kids ,it's the failed progressive policies that keep dangerous repeat offenders and severely mentally ill people on the streets instead of locked up or properly institutionalized. 21 year old Nasire Best , a known repeat offender with multiple prior Secret Service encounters, threats, and a psychiatric encounters .should never have been free to approach a White House checkpoint and open fire. Yet under soft on accountability systems that prioritize "mental health" rhetoric over public safety and involuntary commitment, he was still walking the streets. https://nypost.com/2026/05/23/us-news/white-house-on-lockdown-after-dozens-of-shots-fired/Sun, 24 May 2026 06:24:55 +0000A low value post has been removed: Low-Value Posts - Posts that add no written contribution are not allowed.

Unlike Israel we do care about international law. And anyway Israel has designated it as a combat zone so it can enforce a naval blockade. In case you haven't noticed the UK is not at war and we are bound by maritime law, quite correctly, as well as human rights laws and refugee conventions.Sun, 24 May 2026 06:23:31 +0000The point being?Sun, 24 May 2026 06:22:32 +0000Sun, 24 May 2026 06:22:24 +0000What are we talking about Now !!!
