So Universities that don't punish those verbally supporting Palestine, which might offend Jewish students, lose their funding.... all while the guy directing those punishments is taking money from Hamas' bankers?
You literally can't make this shit up...
All of the "Joe Biden is owned by China" folks must have missed this.... since it isn't worth space of Fox News. Somebody has to cover the McDonald's trailer the Saudi's brought in to honor Trump's fast food obsession. How much laughing do you think the Saudi's do at Trump's expense?

Can we pause for a moment and let the gravity of this sink in...The Qatari royal family bankrolls Hamas.

Saudi Arabia is a U.S. ally. and U.S. military protocol says that it is "customary to salute officers of friendly foreign nations when recognized as such." Saluting officers of unfriendly foreign nations is thought to be forbidden but these protocols don't apply to the commander-in-chief, who is by law a civilian with no military rank or standing.
Former President Barack Obama was also scrutinized for his actions toward foreign leaders after bowing while greeting a previous Saudi ruler, King Abdullah, as well as former Emperor Akihito of Japan in 2009. In the first case, Obama was accused of showing obeisance to a foreign ruler and Islam. In the latter, his behavior was dubbed "treasonous."

This is Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, relative of the man who the US Defense Department has identified as the funder of the mastermind of the September 11 attacks and helped Khalid Sheikh Mohammed evade capture for many years.
Now they just bought their way into Trumpâs inner circle.This is the same regime that:
⢠Finances Hamas
⢠Was found guilty of bribing hundreds of European Union officials to sway policy in its favor
⢠Financed 9/11 attacks, and it's not just Trump with his snout in the trough:
⢠Pam Bondi â Qatarâs registered lobbyist $115,000 per month
⢠Kash Patel â Security consulting for Qatar
⢠Eric Trump â Building Qatari-funded golf resorts
⢠Jared Kushner â Took $1.5B from Qatari and Emirati funds
⢠Lee Zeldin â His firm was paid by a Qatari-linked company
⢠Steve Witkoff â Business ties with Qatari interests
⢠Barry Bennett & Doug Watts â Secretly lobbied for Qatar
⢠Joey Allaham â Arranged Qatari meetings with Trump insidersQatar doesnât spend billions for friendship.
They don't give 'gifts'. They invest to control. They've been cited as one of the most corrupt countries on earth, specifically for bribing targets and people it deems necessary to cultivate.
Terror money is still terror. No matter how big the check.
After being called out this week, DOGE quietly deleted 31 contracts from its website wiping out $122 million in supposed âsavingsâ Muskâs team had claimed from cutting federal spending. But the site is still riddled with errors.
Yeah, you don't wade or swim in Rock Creek Park. DC's sewage and storm runoff system are tied together so when you have significant rains (which regularly occur in the spring and summer), sewage can back up and flow into the Creek.
However, people don't always remember that. I remember walking into Georgetown through RCP on a crazy-hot July 4 and watching a platoon of masochistic morons jogging right in the middle of the creek, water up to their shins, while some drill sergeant wannabe in the lead barked commands. I'm sure this was an extreme fitness group and not military grunts. SMH.
Also (sorta) in Bobby's defense: Teddy Roosevelt used to get on his horse and jaunt through RCP while he lived in DC. He'd swim in the Creek as well, although the pollution issue likely wasn't a big a deal.
Are those Bobby's grandkids? If they were my children I wouldn't leave them alone with RFK for a minute.
@Red_Dragon: In the near future, Trump will sell the nearly drowned kitten as a President Trump Commemorative Pet, $10,000 each.
although, you gotta admit, swimming in shit is a great metaphor.

the tariffs are killing small business, which may be the intended effect. there are a few who are challenging trump...
How Trumpâs trade war could end by June
The challengers say the president is violating the Constitution and hope the Court of International Trade will grant their request for a preliminary injunction before the end of the month.
The tariffsâ challengers say Trump is violating the Constitution and hope the Court of International Trade will grant their request for a preliminary injunction before the end of the month.
Thatâs vital because many businesses may not survive if the tariffs remain in place while the case is litigated potentially all the way to the Supreme Court, said Jeffrey Schwab, senior counsel at the Liberty Justice Center, a conservative constitutional rights group representing VOS Selections, a New York-based wine and spirits company, and other small businesses suing over Trumpâs tariffs.
⢠Trump caved and got zero in return
⢠No manufacturing moved back to the USA
⢠30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
⢠90 day pause still causes uncertainty
⢠Trump lost all negotiating leverage
Yeah, if he wasn't already the laughing stock of world leaders before he sure as hell is now. Art of The Deal, my ass.
