Scott Wiener faces pressure to change the status quo. He was chased out of San Francisco Pride event when confronted on Gaza and Lebanon.
Democratic California state senator Scott Wiener is top contender in the U.S. House race to replace outgoing member Nancy Pelosi, the two time U.S. House Speaker. Pelosi endorsed Connie Chan to be the replacement but supports Wiener's run as well.
Pelsoi, the first woman to serve two times as the U.S. House Speaker under four presidents announced her retirement. Her departure from the Congress is a mix of success and controversy.
Pelosi will also be burdened by her failures. She couldn't keep a coalition. She pushed for watered down legislation during the Obama, Trump and Biden presidencies.
Rightfully so, she was the speaker to impeach President Donald J. Trump twice for abuse of power and insurrection.
Vilified by Trump, Fox, Rush Limbaugh, social media and activists, Pelsoi withstood the most.
Now I come to realize that Pelosi had ties to insider trading, Israel and the elite scarred her legacy.
The state senator said he was “harassed, threatened, and physically intimidated” while walking through Dolores Park, a confrontation captured on video. https://t.co/PySDlPiy81

If you’re not disturbed by this, I encourage you to log off and spend some time remembering why it’s worth being human in the world. If you find yourself doing this to another human being and posting it for clout, I would strongly encourage you to log off and figure out some way… https://t.co/WZJbJtkhv4
Scott Wiener showed up to the trans march and for the first time we kicked his ass out. It's sad because while he's written some good legislation for queers, hes ultimately a genocidal-supporting center right shill. Trigger warning: broken man walking away defeated. Vote Connie! pic.twitter.com/TXIB7omxde
The attacks on Scott Wiener truly bother me. It’s okay to disagree with politicians over their policies, but accusing him of genocide simply because he’s Jewish isn’t okay at all. What was he supposed to do after 1,200 of his people were slaughtered for hours on live camera?… https://t.co/fdRltoKYmC
I remember Pelosi was confronted by Code Pink and their leader Madea Benjamin.
Benjamin was demanding that she stop voting for weapons to Israel. Right off the bat, Pelosi claimed that they were paid by the Chinese Communist Party. That was xenophobic, racist and just flat out disrespectful to people who actually had concerns about the way Congress governs.
She said "Go back to China."
The Affordable Care Act is dismantled not completely repealed. The Trump Administration passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which eliminates the subsidies to affordability in insurance premiums. The president has not pushed for a replacement.
He is desperately trying to push for the SAVE Act to throw millions of voters into limbo so Republicans can actively hold on to power.
Pelosi endorsed New York U.S. House member Hakeem Jeffries as the next House Speaker. As the Democratic leader in the House, Jeffries has faced backlash for his support of Israel, protection of the status quo, lackluster endorsements of Democratic candidates who a democratic socialists and not willing to fight harder against Trump.
Many are not concerned with optics. They are concerned with paychecks. They don't care whether the next House Speaker is Black, a woman or a person of color. They are concerned about feeding their families, paying their bills, getting health care and taking vacations.
Democrats are lowering their chances to 43% thanks to the Promise to America Caucus.
Rep. Tom Souzzi (D-NY) is already trying to undermine the will of the voters after the primary wins from Adam Hamawy, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez.
Scott Wiener and Connie Chan both face backlash for their views. However, Wiener is catching the fires. While both oppose giving Israel more military funding, Wiener is not calling the actions in Gaza and Lebanon a genocide.
He was forced to leave the San Francisco Pride And Trans Remembrance event.
Wiener is openly gay and Jewish. Many of the Zionist groups are calling these confrontations antisemitic.
When confronted, he refused to say "Free Palestine" and refuses to end all support of Israel.
Yeah, ironic the same folks who getting mad at Wiener being confronted had no problem with Darializa Avila Chevalier being confronted in New York. The difference is that she was voting that day and he was strolling through an event to generate votes. The people who confronted her being being a Jew hater helped motivate voters to oppose Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY). This will push more voters to Chan.
Count on Julia Letlow to keep Louisianans poor, dumb and willing to die for nothing. This idiot won the run off. She will be the continuation of the status quo within the Republican establishment.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was eliminated early in the Louisiana Republican primary. It lead to a run off against his primary opponents, Louisiana state treasurer John Fleming (a former U.S. House member) and Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA).
The run off election was held on Saturday and the Associated Press called it for Letlow.
Letlow is a former university instructor and widow of idiot Luke Letlow, the U.S. House member elect who died of the coronavirus days before swearing.
Letlow was endorsed by President Donald J. Trump. She easily trounced Fleming.
With her as the nominee, I have the senate race as Solid Republican. She will be the second woman to serve as a senator from the state of Louisiana if she does win. The last woman was Mary Landrieu, a moderate Democrat who served three terms before being ousted by Cassidy.
Cassidy lost favor with Trump when he joined Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in convicting him in his second impeachment trial. Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey, Richard Burr and Ben Sasse have since left the Senate. They all joined the current members in 2021 to convict Trump for Jan. 6.
The president backed Letlow in an effort to oust Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump on impeachment charges in 2021.
Letlow, a former college administrator and ardent Trump supporter, has been in the House since 2021. Her husband, Luke Letlow, died from COVID-19 complications after being elected to Congress in 2020, and she won a special election to fill the seat.
Letlow would become Louisiana’s first female Republican senator if elected in the fall in the heavily Republican state. She has promised to work in lockstep with Trump to advance his agenda.
Letlow’s victory caps Trump’s primary efforts to unseat Republicans who have not been in lockstep with him. Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Texas Sen. John Cornyn and five Indiana state senators all lost reelection bids last month to challengers he backed.
However Trump-backed candidates lost in two June GOP gubernatorial primaries: Rep. Randy Feenstra on June 2 in Iowa, to businessperson Zach Lahn; and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones of Georgia on June 16, to billionaire Rick Jackson. Both winners were outsiders competing with establishment favorites.
Letlow was elected to the House in 2021 after her husband, Luke Letlow, won the same seat but died before taking office. She received Trump’s backing before entering the primary race in January.
She finished first in the primary with nearly 45% of the vote, compared with about 28% for Fleming and nearly 25% for Cassidy.
“We have a chance to send a clear message that Louisiana stands with President Trump,” Letlow said Thursday in an online rally with the president. “He endorsed me because he knows I will stand with him.”
For some, Trump’s endorsement was all that mattered.
“Trump’s lady all the way,” said Barbara Dufrene, 67, of Marrero. She added that she knew little about Letlow but was counting on the president to lower her healthcare costs and increase her social safety net. “I always vote whatever Trump wants.”
Louisiana Republicans said they voted for Letlow because Trump endorsed her. It shows that Trump’s incompetence doesn't affect poor and dumb ass Louisiana Republicans.
Letlow Had Spending Advantages
Letlow’s success on May 16, campaign spending on her behalf and support from prominent Republicans had her well positioned in the runoff. She was also endorsed by Gov. Jeff Landry, who consulted with Trump last year about her running for Senate, and U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
Last month Letlow won in parishes from the state’s rural north to the New Orleans area in the southeast. She carried six of the 13 parishes that Fleming formerly represented in the U.S. House, including Caddo Parish, which includes Shreveport.
Fleming, a founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus while in Congress, later worked in Trump’s first administration. He reminded voters that he did not resign after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.
He directed his appeals to those who identify most closely with the president’s “Make America Great Again” movement, saying his voting record is more conservative than Letlow’s. His campaign ads describe him as MAGA “long before it was cool.”
Fleming told voters he was blocked from reaching Trump to seek his endorsement by White House allies of Landry. Fleming said he finally got on the phone with Trump and reminded the president who he was.
“I said nobody has been more loyal to you than me,” Fleming recounted during a June campaign stop. “He said, ‘You’re fantastic! Why didn’t you call?’”
Shane Jones, a 54-year-old military veteran, said he felt Fleming had clearer conservative principles than Letlow and could defend them when challenged.
“He came out with his policies, where Letlow didn’t,” Jones said. “If you can’t sit there and sit down and talk to me about hard-hitting questions that the public has, well, then you’re not even on my radar.”
The two campaigns spent comparably on advertising, roughly $1 million each, since the May 16 primary. But a super PAC that supports Letlow led all spending, accounting for $4.1 million in the past six weeks, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact.
Rep. Julia Letlow's (R-LA) idiot husband, Luke Letlow died days before he was to be sworn in as a House member. He died of the coronavirus.
Fleming Attacked Letlow On DEI, And She Criticized Him Over An AI Video
Fleming has ads highlighting Letlow’s previous public support for diversity, equity and inclusion policy, which Trump has tried to eliminate. Letlow, a former college administrator, said she supported DEI while interviewing for the position of president of the University of Louisiana-Monroe in 2020, but said this year she opposes it.
Fleming reposted an AI-generated video on the social platform X this month that purported to show Letlow saying she supported DEI because she “didn’t know any better.” The fake image of Letlow also referenced her husband, who died from complications of COVID-19.
Fleming said he did not create the video “but it’s getting passed around Louisiana for a reason.”
Letlow condemned the sharing of the video as “disgraceful and indefensible,” chiefly for its mention of her husband.
Letlow emphasized key priorities for social conservatives, notably her support for national legislation barring transgender women and girls from competing in school sports.
Fleming staked much of his campaign on opposition to carbon capture and sequestration, the process for injecting carbon dioxide waste underground to reduce industrial pollution. The technology’s build-out, included planned pipelines, has sparked backlash in rural Louisiana communities and divided the state GOP.
Fleming said such projects infringe on private property rights and federal government subsidies for the technology are wasteful.
Letlow engaged to a Baton Rouge attorney.
Democrats Pick Davis As Their Senate Nominee
In the Democratic primary, Jamie Davis, a northeast Louisiana crop farmer, defeated Gary Crockett, a Navy veteran and business executive. Both promoted addressing the cost of living and protecting social safety nets.
The state is heavily Republican. Trump carried Louisiana by 22 percentage points in 2024.
Only a miracle could a Democrat win in a state that went Republican since 2007.
Letlow is a reliable Trump vote. She will continue to put Louisiana taxpayer money into Israeli interests. She will sell out rural Louisiana parishes to AI data centers.
She will speak Cajan French to relate to the southern parishes and their hardcore racial angst.
She will claim that New Orleans, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Monroe are crime ridden cities and her mission is to bring "law and order" if she was elected.
Did you know Louisiana puts $35 to $50 million in Israeli bonds?
Louisiana ranks 49 out of 50 in education. It is ranked the 1st state in economic poverty.
There are 40 bridges in the state that are extremely vulnerable to collapse. Interstate 10 over Lake Charles. Interstate 55 bridges through the marshes, Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. Interstate 20 bridges in Shreveport are in extreme distress.
Sharia Law is not happening in the United States. But Klanology is and believe me these idiots in Texas are going to regret pushing this upon the public.
When many Americans are demanding the president, Congress, governors and state legislators do something about lowering the price of groceries, gas, insurance premiums, improving the cost of living and provide better health care, they go to stupid culture wars and mandated objectives to prevent future opposition leaders.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has not merit much other than Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk crossing the threshold of trillionaires.
The U.S. continues to attack Iran as they keep telling the world the Memorandum of Understanding is working. Nope. It is not.
Texas has a gun violence problem.
Texas has a heat bubble that is deadly.
Texas has a major flood problem.
Texas has overcrowded problem.
Texas has a deadlier weather session problem.
Let's read fiction.
None of these lawmakers ever following the teachings of Jesus the Nazareth.
Did you know that $75 to $300 million in Israeli bond debt?
Gov. Greg "Hot Wheels" Abbott has banned Texas cities from divesting from Israel.
Oh your children in public schools might be required to read the Bible.
Texas’ education board on Friday approved a required reading list for more than 5 million public school students that includes Bible stories, widening conservative efforts to bring Christian teachings into U.S. classrooms.
The state-mandated list of assigned reading — which includes Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” and excerpts from the New Testament — appeared to be among the first of its kind of the nation and will take effect starting in 2030.
The State Board of Education, which is controlled by Republicans, approved the list on a 9-5 vote following weeks of contentious debate that again put Texas at the center of wrangling over the role of religion in public schools. Last year, Texas became the largest state to require teachers to hang the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
The board this week was also considering new social studies curriculum that draws lines between Bible stories and American history.
Beyond objections over Bible readings, the mandate drew backlash from teachers who criticized losing the ability to decide what their students will read, although they are still allowed to assign additional books during the school year.
“I don’t have a problem reading about David and Goliath because I believe in those stories,” said Alyse Dent, a high school English teacher in the Dallas area. “But if I’m reading to one of my students — they’re Muslim or they’re atheist — I can say all day long, ‘Well, we’re teaching a theme, we’re teaching symbolism,’ but they’re hearing, ‘This is a Bible story. We’re talking about God.’”
Supporters of the changes have argued that Judeo-Christian traditions were fundamental to the nation’s founding and that should be reflected in the public school curriculum.
“These timeless works, including biblical passages, have shaped American culture and history, and have influenced generations of thinkers, leaders, and citizens, and they continue to offer valuable lessons about human nature, virtue, liberty, and civic responsibility,” said Mandy Drogin, a senior fellow at Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Texas has brought more religion into classrooms
Texas, which educates roughly 1 in 10 of the nation’s public school students, has been at the forefront of a charge by conservatives to incorporate more religion into classrooms. The state also allows public schools to hire chaplains to counsel students and has approved an optional Bible-infused curriculum.
Brooke Mazel, a retiree from Lubbock, was among a large crowd that packed a meeting of the education board this week in Austin, saying her children and grandchildren grew up with “strong faith and family values” and backed the required titles.
“America should celebrate our 250 years that started as a nation of unwavering Christian values,” Mazel said.
A state law passed in 2023 required a mandatory list of at least one literary work be taught in each grade level. The new list contains around 200 texts, including Bible passages, essays and books, far in excess of that requirement.
Antero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University professor, said he doesn’t know of any other state with a mandatory reading list that includes religious texts. Educators at the district and school level usually choose the texts their students will read, Garcia said.
Kasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program, agreed the move was “unique” to Texas.
Popular literary works are also on Texas’ required list
Picture-book stories for elementary students including “David and Goliath” and “Daniel and the Lion’s Den” are on the required reading list. By fourth grade, students will encounter passages about Jesus in the New Testament. E.B. White’s “Charlotte’s Web” would be assigned to third-graders.
In middle school, students will be expected to read passages about Jesus, including his most famous sermon and another where he instructs people to cast aside earthly anxiety and seek the kingdom of God.
For high schoolers, the list requires the reading of specific Bible passages as supportive materials for literary works, including works by Dickens and Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.”
Texas law does let parents remove a child from a class or activity that conflicts with their religious or moral beliefs.
Critics say list isn’t diverse enough
The list mandates that students reading Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” also read a eulogy for President Ronald Reagan written by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a staunch conservative.
Chanea Bond, who teaches college and advanced high school English courses in Fort Worth, said having a state reading list can close the gap between what students learn in different areas. Although the list for high schoolers is “pretty solid” for a study of classics, she said, the list is “very old and very white.”
“It is very narrow and does not represent what classrooms in Texas look like,” she said. “Going through most of high school without ever having much value put into voices that sound like yours kind of sends a message that your voices aren’t valuable.”
Asses to the status quo. Laura Gillen and Tom Suozzi running on some bullshit while not focusing on why voters voted for democratic socialists in the Democratic primaries.
So when the voters decide on who their candidate to be their nominee, the decision is final. The winning candidate usually has a great ground game to persuade the voters to vote for them.
The losing candidate concedes. Whether they endorse or not, the losing candidate gets a little disappointed but eventually moves on.
I don't how to say this but, social media isn't the voting base.
All the noise does not sway voters. If you are finding frustration with the system, you vote to change it or you don't. The don't change it crowd must be happy paying more for groceries.
They must enjoy paying more for gas, bus fare, train fare, flight expenses, insurance premiums, energy consumption and shipping fees.
They must enjoy rollbacks of public safety, the freedom to associate, the freedom to be yourself, the opportunity to advance in a society and the endless wars overseas.
They must enjoy living paycheck to paycheck.
I am just saying they're so many complex issues that affect the way people vote.
But words are not one of them.
I guess I am now a democratic socialist too. I don't believe capitalism is helping the working class. I don't believe patriotism is based on "peace through strength" or the "greatest military force."
I guess that we learn about atrocities that must be implanted through legislation.
Did you know Leopold II, the king of Belgium committed the worst genocide in the 20th Century?
He literally conquered, allowed his people mame, torture, sodomize, rape and assassinate people in Congo. To this day, the Congolesse are still fighting one another. The Democratic Republic Of The Congo are facing violent turmoil.
But we always hear about the Holocuast. We don't hear about the Armenian genocide.
We do not hear about the Cambodian genocide.
We don't hear about the Rwandan gencoide.
The dangling carrot theory.
When issues mount, Republicans find scapegoats and Democrats find villains. It has comes to a point where we are sick of them crying over words when the people demand the need to lower prices so people can survive.
No one wants to pay nearly $100 for less than 20 items.
No one wants to pay over $75 for a full tank of gas in a mid size car.
No one wants to hold off medical or dental care because the prices are more than a month's worth of paychecks. Whether they have insurance or no insurance, it cost thousands of dollars for treatment or a medical visit.
No one want to hear about their lawmakers taking trips more than them.
Democrats are not getting it. The Republicans are sure not getting it.
Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) is a piece of shit. If he was the gubernatorial nominee running against Lee Zeldin, he would have lost. Matter of fact, New York would probably been worse off having Suozzi or Zeldin in office. Mind you Kathy Hochul isn't better but a better choice than Bruce Blakeman.
Suozzi angered by the defeats of Reps. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) and Dan Goldman (D-NY) decided to create a new Democratic congressional group dedicated to fighting socialism which some Democratic lawmakers are embracing.
The Promise to America is some stupid commitment to keep the status quo.
Basically white supremacy, capitalism and revisionist American history.
Thirteen Democratic House members and candidates have signed onto a new centrist initiative called "Promise to America," explicitly declaring "We are capitalist, not socialist" and calling for secure borders, fiscal responsibility, and national pride.
The announcement comes days after Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates won several primaries in New York, bringing to light the ongoing tensions inside the Democratic Party as it prepares for the 2026 midterms under President Donald Trump.
What the Pledge Says
The full text of the pledge outlines six core principles.
Under "Growth, Competition, and Broad Prosperity," it states: "We are capitalist, not socialist." It calls for an economy that rewards hard work, lowers costs, and expands opportunity rather than favoring those at the top.
The "Safety, Security, and Human Dignity" section reads: "We want safety, not lawlessness." It supports "secure borders," "orderly immigration," and "safe communities."
Other sections commit signers to fiscal discipline ("We are responsible, not reckless"), to competent government, to free speech and moderation ("We are mainstream, not extreme"), and to "Confident Patriotism" ("We are proud, not ashamed of America").
The Rift Inside the Democratic Party
The Democratic Party has long contained differing wings.
Moderate or centrist Democrats, often associated with groups such as the New Democrat Coalition, generally favor market-oriented policies, a strong national defense, and pragmatic approaches to issues such as immigration and crime. They tend to represent suburban and swing districts where voters prioritize affordability, safety, and results over ideological transformation.
In contrast, Democratic socialists, aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), advocate for policies such as Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, wealth taxes, and defunding or reimagining policing. Prominent DSA members in Congress include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), who push for systemic changes to capitalism itself, Politico reported.
Recent primary wins by DSA-backed candidates in New York have intensified the divide, prompting moderates to organize.
Who Signed the Pledge?
The following 13 individuals have reportedly signed the "Promise to America" pledge as of June 26, 2026:
Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) — Co-leading the initiative
Rep. Adam Gray (D-CA) — Co-leading the initiative
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV)
Rep. Don Davis (D-NC)
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. (D-TX)
Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY)
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR)
Rep. Kristin McDonald Rivet (D-MI)
Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)
Jessica Killin (candidate)
Marlene Galán Woods (candidate)
Bobby Pulido (candidate)
Suozzi told Fox & Friends, "As we said in our pledge… we're for capitalism, not socialism. We're for safety, not lawlessness. We're proud of America, not ashamed of America — and we need to be promoting those things." He added that both the far left and far right are well organized, and moderates must do better at organizing.
Potential Impact of the Division
The public split comes as Democrats assess losses in recent cycles and prepare for midterms. Moderates argue that embracing socialist-leaning policies has hurt the party in battleground areas. Progressives counter that bold left-wing ideas mobilize the base and address inequality.
If you want to court Republicans be a fucking Republican. If you want the socialist or leftists to start their own party, don't get upset when they pull a significant portion of votes that could swing an election.
When the status quo means capitalism, commitments to Israel, corporations, white men at the top of hierarchy, now is not the time and always vote the lesser of two evils, the American people will abandon the ship.
Republicans and Democrats cannot win on screaming at one another is not working.
Woman tried to run over Black children playing in the street.
A white woman is facing ten charges in Broward County after she tried to run over children playing in the street. The woman wanted "target practice."
A Brevard County woman is in jail after allegedly admitting to driving toward a group of kids as "target practice."
Pamela Dresser, 59, has been arrested and charged with 10 offenses related to child abuse, aggravated assault and threatening a public official, records show.
An arrest affidavit states Dresser swerved her car toward a group of children who were playing in the street. The children's mother told investigators that Dresser made a comment referring to it as target practice.
Smith, a mother of three, lives just down the block from where this happened. Her kids often rollerblade in the neighborhood.
"To know that a woman is stopping and saying those types of things, especially to — not my children, but possibly my children — is definitely a concern and needs to be addressed," she said.
The report said Dresser admitted to making the target practice comment but quickly tried to minimize it to officers by saying it was a joke.
She also said she had made a wide turn and denied swerving toward the children, according to the report.
Police said that while they were on scene trying to get both sides of the story, Dresser threatened officers.
The mother of the victims told police she yelled at Dresser when she swerved. She said the suspect gave her the middle finger and yelled a racial slur.
Dresser is being held at the Brevard County Jail without bond.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
In Florida, this suspect could face 15 years in the iron college for this.
The royals are billionaires. Okay, what about the Brits who are struggling because of their country's financial burdens?
The Drudge Report splashed the headline about the Prince of Wales being a billionaire.
The royals sure love their future king. A man who lavished in wealth and privilege.
Pictures of giving back to the community and posing with subjects. Oh the showboating.
All the wealth in the world and they still can't do jack shit.
Prince William and Princess Katherine are billionaires.
Prince William officially became a billionaire, with his personal net worth through the Duchy of Cornwall estate reaching £1.2 billion ($1.5 billion). The landed estate generates private annual profits exceeding £20 million for the future king, which he voluntarily pays income tax on.
The Duchy of Cornwall is a sprawling private estate established in 1337 to provide income to the heir apparent to the British throne. It covers over 50,000 hectares across 19 counties in England and consists of farms, residential and commercial properties, forests, quarries, and coastline.
It appears that Williams is richer than his father.
So if this generates negative press about the institution, when will we hear about what Duchess Meghan done while living in the United States?
The noise about Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. They left the royal duties six years ago and the British junk food media cannot stop talking about them.
King Charles III is the most unpopular royal in British history. People should note that he and his brother Andrew were adulterers. Andrew was stripped of his royal title and forced to remove himself as a member. He was arrested this year in Great Britain and faces a U.S. investigation.
Andrew has ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Charles had cheated on Princess Diana with Camilla, the future Queen. Charles had other affairs but none were verified. Diana cheated too.
Meghan (born Rachel Meghan Merkle) is an American-British royal, former actress and activist. She married Harry in 2018 and have two children with him. Harry and Meghan hold British, American and Canadian citizenship.
It is well documented that for every negative story about Charles, William or Katherine, they're be at least five about Harry or Meghan.
Trump denies the U.S. attack a school in Minab, Iran.
The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. The attack was shocking.
Iran warned that any aggressions against it will result in crucial damage globally.
The Iranians stood on business. They used their sovereignty to close the Strait of Hormuz and put over 20% of the world’s oil at risk. They knew that the U.S. will be weakened by the attack.
Now four months into those going into its fifth month, stalemate.
The Memorandum of Understanding is stalled because President Donald J. Trump is facing pressure from Republicans, Israel and conservative agitators. They are angry over this.
Iran is likely going to keep the strait closed indefinitely thanks to our president's curmudgeon behavior.
Trump basically stuck a middle finger in Iran's face. He is telling the world that the U.S. can do whatever it wants and you just got be compliant.
Think now if Iran decided to target schools in Maryland, California, Ohio, Nevada, Kentucky, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina and New York.
Some of the U.S. largest military bases are in these states. Schools are nearby.
If Iranians thought like Israelis or Americans and decided to target schools.
The Islamabad Memorandum in full:

These warhawks are angry about it.
Terrorism is now becoming a term of colonialism. When people resist colonialism, imperialism, theft of their resources, rejection of religious inclusion and Western narratives, the U.S. and many others call it terrorism.
The U.S. and Israel will not continue on unpunished.
That word is mostly reserved for people who are not white, Christian or Jewish.
The U.S. and Israel will never stop killing people. The world is realizing that all these attacks on individuals the two claim as terrorists are not sticking with the world.
The world is tired of the gaslighting from the U.S. and Israel. It is time to stop believing their bullshit.
The children in Minab will never be forgotten. Thanks Google and Middle East Monitor.

Trump said on Wednesday it may never be known who was at fault for a deadly strike on a girls' school in Iran on February 28, the first day of the Iran war, that killed scores of children.
Reuters first reported in March that an initial internal U.S. military investigation showed U.S. forces were likely responsible for the fatal strike in Minab in southern Iran. The Pentagon has since elevated the probe but it has not acknowledged any preliminary findings.
"I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem," Trump told reporters.
"I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem in terms of whose fault was it because there were missiles flying all over the place, and it's horrible what happened but there were missiles flying all over the place," he said.
"Somebody said it was our missile, maybe it wasn't our missile but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe it was," Trump remarked, adding: "I don't think it was us."
The strike on February 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, killed more than 175 children and teachers, according to Iranian officials.
The strike may be the result of U.S. use of outdated targeting data, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in March.
Deliberately attacking a school would likely be a war crime under international humanitarian law. U.S. officials have publicly said Washington would not deliberately target a school.
The strike caused global outrage. The U.N. human rights office called it "absolutely horrific."
Trump initially claimed, without evidence, Iran was responsible. He has since said he does not know enough about the strike, that an investigation is ongoing, that he will accept the results of the inquiry and that "nobody" purposefully attacked the school.
