If the Arab League and African Union were able to launch an attack on Israel, it could trigger the United States to engage. Thus World War III.
Israel has been the bad guy all along and the United States has been its No. 1 cheerleader. History will not be kind to George W. Bush, Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump.
The apartheid ethnostate announced it will continue to seize land and occupy Gaza and continue building illegal settlements in the West Bank.
Embattled Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel withdrew her indictments on a handful of University of Michigan students who were arrested last year during the protest against the genocide.
These motherfuckers in Congress are trying to pass H.R. 867, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act.
It is trying to criminalize boycotts of fucking Israel. It will force Americans to pay fines up to $1 million or 20 years in federal time out if convicted of "antisemitism." Apparently, the Republicans did not have enough members on board. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) confirmed they will not support it.
The regime leader Benjamin Netanyahu has assured Israel will respond to the Yemani missile attack on Ben Gurian Airport in Tel Aviv.
Israel approved plans Monday to seize the Gaza Strip and to stay in the Palestinian territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, a move that, if implemented, would vastly expand Israel’s operations there and likely draw fierce international opposition.
Biden and Trump are puppets of Netanyahu.
The new plan, which was approved in an early morning vote by Israeli Cabinet ministers, also calls for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to move to Gaza’s south. That would likely amount to their forcible displacement and exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.
Details of the plan were not formally announced, and its exact timing and implementation were not clear. Its approval came hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. The plan may be another measure by Israel to try to pressure Hamas into making concessions in ceasefire negotiations.
A third person, a defense official, said the new plan would not begin until after U.S. President Donald Trump wraps up his expected visit to the Middle East this month, allowing for the possibility that Israel might agree to a ceasefire in the meantime. All three officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing military plans.
Later Monday, the Israeli military targeted Houthi rebels in Yemen’s Red Sea city of Hodeida with a punishing round of airstrikes. The strikes came a day after the resistance launched a missile that hit Israel’s main airport. The rebels’ media office said at least six strikes hit the Hodeida port. Other strikes hit a cement factory, the rebels said.
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 after a decades-long occupation and then imposed a blockade on the territory along with Egypt. Capturing and potentially occupying the territory again for an indefinite period would not only further dash hopes for Palestinian statehood, it would embed Israel inside a population that is deeply hostile to it and raise questions about how Israel plans to govern the territory, especially at a time when it is considering how to implement Trump’s vision to take over Gaza.
The AP should have said that Israel is committing illegal occupation and refusal to uphold international law when it comes to humanitarian aid.
The Freedom Flotella which was supposed to make a trip to Gaza was attacked by Israeli drones. The drones attempted to kill humanitarian aid workers. It made the vessel unusable.
The world cannot be silent as this continues.
Since Israel ended a ceasefire with the Hamas militant group in mid-March, Israel has unleashed fierce strikes on the territory that have killed hundreds. It has captured swaths of territory and now controls roughly 50% of Gaza. Before the truce ended, Israel halted all humanitarian aid into the territory, including food, fuel and water, setting off what is believed to the be the worst humanitarian crisis in nearly 19 months of war.
The war began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages. Israel says 59 captives remain in Gaza, although about 35 are believed to be dead.
The truth was Hamas attacked military installations and took hostage IDF soliders.
Israel enacted the Hannibal Directive which allowed IDF military to eliminate everything in site. The junk food media claims over 1,200 people died but the number isn't official. Israel will not release the total of victims.
Gaza Health Ministry said over 50,000 people were killed. Israel and the junk food media here refuse to acknowledge this as legitimate. Even if they lower the death count, it's still way too much.
Israel’s genocide has displaced more than 90% of Gaza’s population and, Palestinian health officials say, killed more than 52,000 people there, many of them women and children. The officials do not distinguish between combatants and civilians in their count.
At least 42 people were killed by Israeli strikes from Sunday through Monday afternoon, according to hospitals and the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. The Israeli military offered no immediate comment on the strikes.
Israel is trying to ratchet up pressure on Hamas
Netanyahu said Monday cabinet ministers had decided on a “powerful operation in Gaza,” including “a movement of the population to protect it.”
The plan also imposes Israeli control over aid distribution. Israel accuses Hamas of diverting aid for its own use or to distribute to strengthen its rule in Gaza, though Israel has not provided evidence. A spokesman for the U.N. humanitarian office, Jens Laerke, denied there was significant diversion of aid, saying the U.N. employs “a solid system to monitor and prevent” such theft.
The officials said Israel was in touch with several countries about Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and relocate its population, under what Israel has termed “voluntary emigration.” That proposal has drawn widespread condemnation, including from Israel’s allies in Europe, and rights groups have warned it could be a war crime under international law.
Carlos Latuff illustrates the very cruel reality of Israel.
For weeks, Israel has been trying to ratchet up pressure on Hamas to get the group to agree to its terms in ceasefire negotiations. But the measures do not appear to have moved Hamas away from its negotiating positions.
The previous ceasefire was meant to lead the sides to negotiate an end to the war, but that has remained elusive. Israel says it will not agree to end the war until Hamas’ governing and military capabilities are dismantled. Hamas, meanwhile, has sought an agreement that winds down the war without agreeing to disarm.
Israel’s expansion announcement angered families of hostages who fear that any extension of the conflict endangers their loved ones. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which supports families, urged Israel’s decision-makers to prioritize the hostages and secure a deal quickly.
At a Knesset committee meeting Monday, Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is being held hostage, called on soldiers “not to report for reserve duty for moral and ethical reasons.”
Some reservists have indicated they will refuse to serve in a war they increasingly view as politically motivated.
Israel continues to stop Palestinians from handling aid
The defense official said the plan would “separate” Hamas from the aid by using private firms and by using specified areas secured by the Israeli military. The official added that Palestinians would be screened to prevent Hamas from accessing the aid.
According to a memo circulated among aid groups and seen by The Associated Press, Israel told the United Nations that it will use private security companies to control aid distribution in Gaza. The U.N., in a statement Sunday, said it would not participate in the plan as presented, saying it violates its core principles.
Palestine forever.
The memo summarized a meeting between the Israeli defense body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza, called COGAT, and the U.N. It was written by a group briefed on the meeting and sent Sunday to aid organizations.
According to the memo, under COGAT’s plan, all aid will enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, on approximately 60 trucks daily, and be distributed directly to people. Some 500 trucks entered Gaza every day before the war.
The memo said that facial-recognition technology will be used to identify Palestinians at logistics hubs and text message alerts will notify people in the area that they can collect aid.
The UN accuses Israel of wanting to control aid as a ‘pressure tactic’
After Israel said it was going to assert more control over aid distribution in Gaza, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs sent an email to aid groups, urging them to reject any “draconian restrictions on humanitarian work.”
The email, which OCHA sent Monday to aid groups and was shared with the AP, further stated that there are mechanisms in place to ensure aid is not diverted.
Earlier, OCHA said in a statement that the plan would leave large parts of the population, including the most vulnerable, without supplies. It said the plan “appears designed to reinforce control over life-sustaining items as a pressure tactic — as part of a military strategy.”
Aid groups have said they are opposed to using any armed or uniformed personnel to distribute aid that could potentially intimidate Palestinians or put them at risk.
Hamas decried Israel’s efforts to control distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza as a violation of international law.
In a statement Monday, the militant group said the effort is “an extension of the starvation policy” adopted by the Israeli government in Gaza.
COGAT did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.
Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.
To clear up the AP's account of Oct. 7, the Israelis used the Hannibal Directive to massacre the settlers to prevent Hamas from taking IDF soliders. The IDF has used the weapons to kill settlers at a festival.
Hamas has been very clear on who they targeted. They targeted the IDF and the walls. They do not target civilians. Israel has exaggerated the way this went down.
They have used American weapons to kill settlers, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, UN peacekeepers and their own IDF soliders. Israel has killed Americans, British, German, Australian, Canadians and French citizens.
No investigations were carried out to why Israel targeted them.
Israel refuses to allow independent monitors into Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.
IDF soliders who refuse to carry out orders are often taken out by snipers.
The "hostages" were IDF soliders.
Israel has violated the ceasefire. They are planning on invading Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. They have stopped humanitarian aid as Ramadan begins. They want the U.S. to start a war with Iran.
The supporters of former president Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris are playing on this "We tried to warn you" nonsense. How can you morally stand on principles of being a progressive and back Israel?
First and foremost, Americans have a right to vote for whomever they chose.
Second, Harris failed to win over voters. She stuck with former president Joe Biden on the economy, Israel, Ukraine, immigration and inflation. The former president failed to listen to voters and his base.
The former president gave unilateral support and cover. We knew Trump would be worse. We demanded that Biden and Harris put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing. We urged them to stop invading other countries. Biden ignored the concerns. The Democrats paid the price.
This shows a lot of "tone deafness" within the Democratic Party.
It is not Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) or the former supporters' fault for Biden and Harris' missteps. She warned them that Arab Americans did not like being ignored.
Those fucking hypocrites sat in silence as Israel is killing women and children.
They can fuck themselves.
Israel has killed Americans. No one was held accountable.
The killing of Rachel Corrie did not move George W. Bush to cut Israel loose.
The deaths of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, Tawfiq Abdel Jabbar, Mohammad Khdour, Omar Assad, Shireen Abu Akleh, Jacob Flickinger and Kamel Ahmad Jawad were never investigated by the U.S. Justice Department.
Mask off.
Resistance is not terrorism.
Occupation of oppressed people is not peace.
A two state solution is "separate but equal" and a de facto apartheid.
Telling other countries to take Palestinians is ethnic cleansing.
A sovereignty seizing land in a violent conflict is a war crime.
A violent attack on children throwing rocks at tanks is justified in the minds of those who support Israel.
Spitting and shoving Christians, Satanists, non Zionist Jews, Muslims and Hindus is considered a custom in Israel. How is this disgusting act justified?
The double standard in media coverage is the Israelis are hostages and the Palestinians are prisoners. Some of the Palestinians held in Israeli custody are children under the age of 14.
When Russia seized Ukrainian land and Crimea, the U.S. pushed for sanctions.
When Israel seized Lebanese and Syrian land, the U.S. recognized it as Israeli sovereignty. They have actively rejected sanctions imposed on Israel.
Iran supports the resistance. The U.S. and Israel labels it as an enabler of terrorism and war. Yet, Israel has created the conflicts by forcing regime change, killing their civilians, their scientists, their military generals and their diplomats. No one seems to call this terrorism. In fact, some U.S. lawmakers see it as justifiable offense.
Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran.
The IDF has the weapons to destroy everything. All on the American taxpayer, Israel has killed civilians, their own citizens and the status quo.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.
Israel is the red line. If any lawmaker, entertainer, athlete or social media influncer backs the apartheid ethnostate, they will face a boycott.
Regardless of political affiliation, if you are supporting Israel, you are not getting donations or a vote from me.
I will hold President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance accountable.

The Resistance Must Stop Israel!✊️🇵🇸
Israel 🇮🇱 Will Fall......
This 🇮🇱 Will Be Regarded As A Symbol Of Evil In The 21st Century.
So this latest mass shooting happened in Glendale, Arizona, a boomburb that has is part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. With a population of 294,000, the city is rapidly expanding.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Katie Hobbs, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and the U.S. House members were notified.
I told you.... I am not condemning anything.
WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
Trump gave us open season.
Three people were killed and five others were injured in a shooting at a restaurant in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday night, according to police.
Police said they believe more than one suspect was involved.
Multiple people were detained for questioning but so far none have been arrested, police said.
The shooting unfolded around 7:45 p.m. local time at the steak house El Camaron Gigante, according to Glendale police.
The area is now safe with no danger to the public, police said.
The five injured victims include gunshot wounds and shrapnel injuries, Glendale police spokesperson Moroni Mendez told reporters.
Glendale is the latest community with gun violence this year.
Mendez appealed for any witnesses to contact authorities.
“I heard people yelling out names. There was a man on the ground, and it didn’t look like he made it,” Lupe Rodriguez said. “His father was yelling out his name. It was pretty bad.”
He told KPHO he ran to safety and was shaken up.
Rodriguez said he is grateful he and his friends made it out alive.
These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.
There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns.
Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.
The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Mike Lawler trying to stop Americans from boycotting Israel.
Y'all voted for this.
What happened to making free speech great again?
What happened to America first?
Only in America, it is a crime to criticize or boycott Israel, a foreign country.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) drafted a bill that won some bipartisan support. The controversy surrounding it involves the criminalization of boycotting.
It is a direct attack on free speech.
H.R. 867, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act. This bill expands an existing anti-boycott law to include certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations (IGOs).
Current law prohibits various actions by U.S. persons (individuals or entities) in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country which is friendly to the United States and that is not itself the object of a U.S. boycott. This bill applies those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs.
Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.
The bill also requires the President to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international organizations involved in fostering or imposing them.
Josh Gottheimer is considering a run for governor.
If someone is convicted they could face fines totalling up to $1 million with the possibility of 20 years in federal time out if its a violent act.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) is a primary co-sponsor.
The legislation came amid ongoing protests against Israel, with university campuses in the spotlight due to students demonstrating against and criticizing the Middle Eastern ally of the U.S.
Supporters of the protests say they are standing up for Palestinian rights amid Israel's war in Gaza. Critics of the protests, which often call for boycotting Israel, saying the demonstrators are antisemitic and threaten Jewish students. Meanwhile, some Jewish students and groups also participate in the protests against Israel.
Under the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018, an American individual, company, or organization participating in or supporting a boycott of a U.S. ally imposed by a foreign government can be fined up to $1,000,000 and receive up to 20 years in prison. If H.R. 867 were to pass, it would extend this penalty to Americans participating in boycotts of U.S. allies promoted or endorsed by intergovernmental organizations, such as the United Nations or the European Union.
This should be repealed.
Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

A Pennsylvania woman isn't sorry about her defecating on another person's vehicle. She is bold enough to call herself a Shythead.
Christina Marie Solometo, 44 was criminally charged with criminal mischief, vandalism and public indecency.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Tuesday incident happened at the corner of 4th and Madison avenues.
Video of the incident shot by a bystander took the internet by storm Wednesday, even appearing on TMZ.
The video shows a woman exit a vehicle apparently pantsless, move to the front of another person’s car stopped behind her, sit for a second on the victim’s vehicle hood and then return to the sedan flashing a smile as the other driver shouts at her. Left behind on the hood is a brownish glop.
According to an affidavit of probable cause for Solometo’s arrest written by Prospect Park Police Sgt. Henry O’Neill:
Officer Nicholas Denton was made aware of the video Wednesday. Police identified the offending stain as “an accumulation of liquefied human feces.” The person who deposited it drove away on 4th Avenue into Ridley Township.
Denton got the original video from the person who shot it and determined it was captured at 5:16 p.m.
Parece un chiste pero no lo es… esta tarde Christina Solometo fue arrestada por hacer su necesidad número 2 en el...
O’Neill quickly identified Solometo as a suspect. He attempted to reach her using various phone numbers listed for her and family members. Solometo returned a call to O’Neill from a number he had contacted 20 minutes earlier.
Solometo asked for O’Neill by name when he answered and said she had a “good idea” why he was trying to reach her.
Solometo unleashed her bodily fluids on the hood of a vehicle.
She said she did not want to come to the police station to talk about it because she does not really like the police but would tell him what happened over the phone.
Solometo said she was heading north on Lincoln Avenue and was the fifth car in line to turn left at the traffic light onto 4th Avenue. Three cars went through on the green arrow, she said, but the fourth, a silver sedan, did not move.
Solometo began honking, and the driver of the other vehicle began mocking her in the rear-view mirror. She said she was frustrated with the other driver and having stomach issues, so she pulled around the silver sedan and turned left.
Solometo said she continued toward Madison on 4th when she noticed the other vehicle appeared to be following her. She said she stopped her vehicle and exited, then had an exchange with the other driver.
“Solometo said as she was walking back to her car, the driver of the silver sedan called her a (insulting name), which made her angry,” according to the affidavit. “Solometo said, ‘I wanted to punch her in the face, but I pooped on her car instead and went home.’”

On Thursday O’Neill and Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna went to her Chester Pike address later to discuss the matter further, and she confirmed the details from the earlier conversation.
“It was a clean poop,” she added at that time. “I didn’t even have to wipe.”
Madonna said Solometo was taken into custody at that time. In video of her arrest posted online Thursday night, she tells one person, “I have a sickness.”
The victim car was being cleaned and detailed Thursday, according to O’Neill.
A Facebook page believed to be linked to Solometo had posted Wednesday that it was not her in the video. That post said she got off work to 300 texts, 500 Facebook messages, police calling her and 100 tags.
“Stop sending this to me stop tagging me, that was not me !! It’s up my alley but i cant claim this Delco fame…” the post said.
Madonna said that to the best of his knowledge, that account does belong to Solometo.
Solometo was preliminarily arraigned Thursday night before Magisterial District Judge George Dawson and taken to the county jail after failing to post 10% of $10,000 bail. Online court records indicated she had posted $1,000 cash bail Friday.
Solometo is scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 19 before District Judge Mary Hopper. The case has been assigned to Assistant District Attorney Bryan Barth. No defense attorney was listed on online court records Friday morning.
FBI Director Kash Patel and actor Mel Gibson were guest at President Donald J. Trump's invite to a UFC fight.
President Donald J. Trump appointed Christopher Wray in 2017 to replace James Comey as the FBI director. When Wray was in charge, the FBI had morale go up and their effectiveness was on par.
Wray stuck around through former president Joe Biden's term and did what he was supposed to do. He upheld the law and order. He assisted in the prosecution of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, held Trump and Biden accountable as well as maintain that the FBI was independent.
Trump didn't like it.
When he returned to power, he was committed to firing Wray.
Wray took resignation before firing.
Trump nominated a conspiracy theorist as his FBI director.
Kash Patel was chosen and confirmed by the Republicans in the senate.
Since his confirmation, rumors are going around that our FBI Director is spending too much time outside the office. He is partying and hanging with the president at UFC Events putting national security at risk.
Oh, Israel has a dossier on him as well as Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Marco Rubio and Dana White.
Frank Figliuzzi, who was FBI’s Assistant Director for Counterintelligence under Robert Mueller, claimed that US President Donald Trump's high-ranking officer is seldom spotted at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's office.
However, Kash Patel has often been spotted spending his time elsewhere, the former FBI officer claimed.
“Reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi told Morning Joe co-host Jonathan Lemaire.
Patel allegedly does not receive his briefings daily anymore.
“And there are reports that daily briefings to him have been changed from every day to maybe twice weekly,” Figliuzzi claimed.
Kash Patel spending more time at home?
Speaking further at the American talk show, Frank Figliuzzi claimed that Kash Patel has been dividing his time between Washington DC and his home in Las Vegas.
He accused the FBI director of working remotely for the ‘past week’.
“There’s also been reporting, I believe, from the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, that Patel spent a lot of his time at his home in Las Vegas—he’s been sort of working remotely for at least part of the week,” he said.
Chaos inside FBI headquarters?
According to the former FBI boss, the headquarters in Washington is “chaos” behind the scenes.
Figluizzi warned that if Kash Patel kept spending more time at his home than in office, it will be ‘bad’.
“So this is both a blessing and a curse, because if he’s really trying to run things without his experience, without any experience level, things could be bad. If he’s not plugged in, things could be bad. But he’s allowing agents to run things so we don’t know where this is going,” he said.
The former FBI officer further claimed of hearing reports of chaos inside the FBI headquarters.
“But the one word that keeps coming back at me from inside is that the building is chaos,” he said during the talk show.
Figluizzi's claims come at a time when Senate Democrats are demanding an investigation into Kash Patel's use of government aircraft, particularly the FBI’s private fleet of jets, as per a report by CBS citing sources.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is the disaster the Democratic Party deserved. Had they listened to Black women, we wouldn't be stuck with this fool.
A series of embarrassing incidents in print and on film got the controversial senator sweating. His support for Israel, his treatment of his wife and his big mouth got him in trouble.
His former aides are telling.
Israel has a dossier on members of Congress. If they follow the line, they will be rewarded. If they step out of line, Israel will make their lives miserable.
Michael Waltz was fired out the cannon.
Fettterman exposed as a total hack. Like we didn’t know that already.

New York magazine reports that Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in 2022 one month before being elected to the Senate, is unrecognizable to his past and present staff, prone to “conspiratorial thinking” and “megalomania.” His former chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, wrote his concerns in a May 2024 letter to Dr. David Williamson, the neuropsychiatrist who oversaw Fetterman’s treatment at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C.
“We do not know if he is taking his meds and his behavior frequently suggests he is not,” Jentleson wrote, adding that Fetterman was avoiding the recommended regular checkups with his doctors. He also wrote that the senator was driving his car recklessly, often speeding while texting, making FaceTime calls, and reading entire news articles behind the wheel.
One month after the letter, Fetterman got into a car accident, driving home from the airport after an early morning flight well over the 70-mph speed limit on I-70. His wife in the back seat suffered a pulmonary contusion and spinal fractures, and Fetterman told one of his staffers that he had fallen asleep while driving.
In an incident earlier this year, Fetterman was filmed on a flight to Pittsburgh arguing with the pilot about wearing his seat belt correctly.
“If you want to go to Pittsburgh, it’s simple,” the pilot told him. “You’re going to have to follow our instructions or be asked to get off the airplane.”
In another instance in 2023, one of his staffers reported hearing from a journalist that Fetterman had walked into the street and was nearly hit by a car. A short time later, a Senate doctor called Fetterman’s office to report that the senator walked into a group of people and nearly knocked them over near the underground trolleys running between the Capitol and congressional office buildings.
Fetterman insists that he is in good health, despite these reports, and chalks up the disturbing reports to disgruntled staffers. But other accounts show increased black-and-white thinking on issues such Israel’s massacre of Gaza, which has alienated many of his staffers, and an inexplicable show of support for certain Trump administration polices, drawing a backlash from liberal supporters. It seems that Fetterman’s health is raising the question of if he’s fit to continue serving in politics.
A cop shooting and killing a fleeing suspect triggered a parent to kill a county deputy.
The Cincinnati Police and Hamilton County Sheriff are mourning the lost of a deputy who was intentionally ran over by a man who swore revenge for the lost of his son to police violence.
I told you.... I am not condemning anything.
WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
President Donald J. Trump gave us open season. If he can allow thousands of criminals to get a pardon for attacking the U.S. Capitol, I blame him for every action taken against law enforcement.
And for every cop who gets away with killing suspects, Black parents might take a moment of divine intervention. For every Sam DuBose, comes this. July will be the 10 year anniversary of his passing by that dirty cop Ray Tensing.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge.
The anger of a Black father losing his son to a police shooting him showed the system is fixed. Black suspects are killed by police disproportionately.
An eye for an eye.
It happened around 1 p.m. along Martin Luther King Drive and Burnet Woods Drive near UC's campus, where it has been busy all day with graduation commencements.
Cincinnati police said a Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy was outside of his vehicle, directing traffic at the intersection when he was hit by a vehicle entering the intersection.
The deputy was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died. He was not identified Friday.
According to Cincinnati police, the father of the 18-year-old who was shot and killed by Cincinnati police on Thursday was driving the car that hit the deputy.
Cincinnati Police release body cam footage of a shaky hand cop shooting Ryan Hinton after he bolted from a dumpster.
Police identified the driver as Rodney Hinton Jr., 38. He was charged with aggravated murder in the deputy's death.
Officials said the deputy who was hit just retired from the department last December and was working a special detail for the commencement ceremonies.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine shared a statement after the crash, saying "Fran and I are saddened to learn about the Hamilton County deputy hit by a vehicle and killed in the line of duty today. I have been briefed on the ongoing investigation and am sickened by what appears to be an intentional act of violence. We offer our sincere condolences to the deputy’s family, friends, and colleagues."
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
On Friday, police identified the 18-year-old who died as Ryan Hinton.
It all unfolded around 10 a.m. Thursday when Cincinnati police officers with the department's fugitive apprehension unit responded to a call about a stolen Kia.
"Six quick seconds," Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge said, saying that's how fast the entire situation unfolded.
From timeline of the incident to where the investigation stands, here's everything we know.
It all started around 10 a.m. Thursday, when a stolen Kia was reported to have backed up into a parking spot in the lot of an apartment complex on Warsaw Avenue.
The Kia was reported stolen out of Edgewood, Kentucky earlier that day and because of GPS capability, the owner alerted police to its location.
The far right will justify the cop killing because the suspect was armed in a stolen Kia. Yet, the suspect was fleeing and a rookie or partially season cop shot him dead.
Two undercover cars had pulled into the dead end of the lot and saw there were individuals inside the stolen car, so they pulled out to make way for the uniformed officers to pull in.
As officers approached, Theetge said four people fled from the vehicle, with at least one of them armed with a gun.
Video of the chase and subsequent shooting were released Friday.
"He's got a gun, he's got a gun. On your right," one officer could be heard saying to another officer on the body camera footage before several shots could be heard.
The suspect who had a gun slipped, with officers saying they heard the gun hit the concrete.
Once the suspect got up and ran between a set of dumpsters, another officer who was chasing another person came in contact with the armed suspect and fired 4 to 5 shots.
Police recovered a gun at the scene with an extended magazine and another magazine in his pocket. Another firearm was also recovered in the stolen Kia.
On Friday, police identified the 18-year-old who died as Ryan Hinton.
The other three suspects ran off. Two were taken into custody away from the complex following a lengthy search using K9 units and drones.
Theetge said from the time the individuals bailed from the vehicle and police were chasing them to the time shots were fired was a total of six seconds.
"Six quick seconds," Theetge said.
Yeah, an angry father did it. Ohio father angry at the system decided to take one to it.
On Friday, court documents identified the two people arrested as 19-year-old Deanthony Bullocks and 18-year-old Jurell Austin.
Austin is being held on a $50,000 bond, Bullocks bond is set at $40,000.
The two have been charged with obstructing official business and receiving stolen property. Both are due in court Friday morning.
A fourth person remains at large. Theetge said they are still working to positively identify that person and use resources they have to locate him.
The names of the officers are not being released, per Marsy's Law. One officer has been with CPD since 2014, the other since 2001, both with fugitive apprehension squad.
"They are trained to stop the threat," Theetge said.
Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffe.
When asked if the suspect pointed the firearm at officers, Theetge said during interviews, the officer who fired said the suspect had the gun pointed at him when he exited from between dumpsters and he felt threatened for his life.
Theetge believes the suspect was struck twice, in the chest and arm.
Theetge said there's no indication the suspect fired, but said she doesn't expect officers to wait until they're fired upon before they feel the necessity to fire.
Obviously, the fleeing suspect did not fire on the unnamed officer. The moment the officer saw the firearm, he panicked. He shot a fleeing suspect and usually, the state prosecutor will give the officer a pass.
That is what triggered Hinton to take his divine intervention.
These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.
There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns.
Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Two of the fleeing Kia Boyz were nabbed. They are searching for one more.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.
The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.
No matter how you explain it, the cop did not give a justified reason to use deadly force.

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists.
