If the machine can take Trump down they will come after Americans next. He is in their way. None of this would be happening under Trumps leadership. He is one of the only four U.S. presidents that never started any new wars. No wars no inflation,safe border. Trump put money in Americans pockets and always put America first.

'Military personnel cleared the area after the boy -- when ordered to lift his shirt -- revealed a vest with eight kilograms of explosives.
In dramatic images caught on camera, the teenager -- standing in the middle of the cordoned off road -- told soldiers he did not want to die, that he did not want to blow up.
"He was frightened by the quick reaction of the soldiers, who pointed their guns and stopped him," said Capt. Sharon Feingold, a spokeswoman for the Israel Defense Forces. "He raised his hands, then we grabbed him and persuaded him to assist us to dismantle the suicide vest that he was wearing."
Explosives experts used a remote-controlled robot to pass the boy scissors so he could cut the explosives from his body. After struggling with the straps he safely removed the vest and raised his arms to show soldiers he had no more explosives.
The IDF blew up the vest in a controlled explosion and whisked the boy away for questioning.
It is the second time in about a week that children have been used to transport explosives.
In the first incident, 11-year-old Abdullah Quran was detained at a checkpoint near Nablus. An Israeli soldier discovered he was carrying between seven and 10 kilograms of explosives in a bag.
Israel Defense Forces said the boy did not know that the bag contained explosives. He said he was given five shekels -- the equivalent of about one U.S. dollar -- to carry it through the checkpoint and to give it to an old woman at the next checkpoint.
Eventually, Abdullah was questioned and released.'

​@@russell-gt1dyIsrael was created out of 30 years of terrorism with Jewish terrorist organisations like the Haganah and the Irgun attacking and killing Palestinians and British soldiers and their families. Since its creation in 1948, Israel has waged war after war against the Palestinians and weak Arab nations to steal more and more land, more than quadrupling the size of the country given to them. Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian lands for decades, disregarding international law and countless UN resolutions.

*Nobody who claims to oppose the Gaza genocide while simultaneously supporting Joe Biden actually opposes the Gaza genocide.
They’re just saying what needs to be said to win approval in the political sector they want the approval of. They’re not taking a moral stand, they’re cultivating an image. They’re building a brand.
One of many possible examples of this ridiculous posturing is Instagram progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has called Israel’s atrocities in Gaza “an unfolding genocide” while continuing to support and defend the US president who’s currently backing that genocide, and who recently attended one of the pro-Palestine campus demonstrations which her president recently smeared as “antisemitic protests”.
What AOC (AND BERNIE SANDERS) are doing here is attempting to straddle the impossible divide between what progressive Democrats claim their party is about and what it’s actually about in real life.
She’s paying lip service to opposing injustice, supporting a ceasefire and siding with anti-genocide activists because that’s the sort of thing progressives are supposed to do, while simultaneously throwing her political support behind an administration that is facilitating injustice, keeping the genocide going, and smearing those who protest* - CJ

Thank you Senator Sanders for making clear the issue of anti semiotics. Thank you for using your powerful voice to refresh our cry for justice of victims of genocide; to cry out repeatedly in support of the starving men, women and children in Gaza/rafa. These people, Palestinians being brutalized cannot make their voices of suffering loud enough to hear are now heard through your courageous voice and character of integrity and principles of humanitarian behavior that is willing the good of all mankind. God Bless You.

Free America from the greed of money. It's not AIPAC; it's greed. Any change can only happen from the bottom up. People should vote any candidate who receives money from AIPAC out of Congress.
