Israel Amps Up Killer Babes!

A pretty face killer.

Israel has increased their hasbara campaign as it awaits the International Criminal Court's decision to pursue criminal charges against the regime.

Allegations of sexual abuse by Karim A.A. Khan are timed. 

Khan denies the allegations and claim it is a smear campaign. These are tactics used by the Mossad to discredit the prosecutors who long pursued charging Israel. 

They did it to previous prosecutors and officials.

They will be doing it to President Donald J. Trump soon. Trump went unilateral in some of the decisions involving the Middle East. He had negotiated the release of the American who served in the Israeli Defence Force. All of this done against Israel. That's why we are hearing about the $400 million airline he is accepting from Qatar. It is a slow leak before they flood the stream. 

After all, Israel rooted for Trump and actively pushed for his return. Israel sees his actions as betrayal. They will find ways to deal with him. Former president Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris bowed to the Zionist apartheid ethnostate. It cost them big time.

Israel has officially declared it will occupy Gaza and force all its civilians to move or die. This is a Holocaust in real time.

Trump, the ultimate Zionist is allowing it to happen. Biden set the table, Trump is drinking the wine and Benjamin Netanyahu is cutting the meat. 

History will not be kind to George W. Bush, Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump.

An IDF female solider lost her leg.

As I look on X, I am starting to notice images of thirst traps who represent the Israeli Defence Forces. These young women are showing off their beauty, their dancing moves and their guns, literally.

It is an old playbook that the Israeli regime uses to encourage the narrative that Israel is a cool, fun and sociable country. It is not.

It is an apartheid backed by Jewish and white supremacy. The United States, European Union, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Argentina and New Zealand continue supporting it.

Edan Alexander, a Israeli-American who served in the IDF was released after 18 months in prisoner custody. The junk food media continues to call these settlers "hostages."

Trump said that he negotiated with Hamas to have the terrorist released.

Hamas says Alexander, the last living American serving as an IDF soldier in Gaza, will be released as part of efforts to establish a ceasefire, reopen crossings into the territory and resume the delivery of aid. Two Hamas officials told The Associated Press they expect the release in the next 48 hours.

The Hamas statement Sunday night does not say when the release will happen. The announcement comes shortly before U.S. President Donald Trump visits the Middle East this week. Trump is not planning to visit Israel.

There was no immediate response from regime leader Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. Netanyahu’s government was angered by U.S. direct talks with Hamas earlier this year.

Khalil al-Hayyah, a Hamas leader in Gaza, said the group has been in contact with the U.S. administration over the past few days.

Al-Hayyah said in a statement Hamas is ready to “immediately start intensive negotiations” to reach a final deal for a long-term truce which includes an end to the war, the exchange of Palestinian held by Israel and the handing over of power in Gaza to an independent body of technocrats.

Trump negotiated the release of the U.S. citizen who served as an IDF solider Eden Alexander.

A senior Hamas official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said Alexander is expected to be released on Monday as a goodwill gesture. Another Hamas official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss negotiations, said Alexander’s release is expected in the next 48 hours, adding that it requires Israel to pause fighting for a couple of hours.

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 and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors. 

Israel wants 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 is what the junk food media shows of Edan Alexander. A kid. In reality, he is a monster who should have caught divine intervention for his actions in Gaza.

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 men, 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, a concert 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.

Will the real Eden Alexander please stand up?

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 call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to", blaming "illegal immigrants" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering costs, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. 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 tir9ed 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 don't want any more wars on behalf of Israel. 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.

Trump Flying The Friendly Skies On The Qatar Express!

Qatar might give Trump a $400 million airliner.

Y'all voted for this.

The senile president is compromised by Russia, Israel, Belarus and Qatar.

Qatar is gifting President Donald J. Trump a $400 million airliner jet.

ABC News reveals the shocking but not surprising controversy. The president has already seen the airliner.

The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans.

Trump toured the plane, which is so opulently configured it is known as "a flying palace," while it was parked at the West Palm Beach International Airport in February.

The Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

The highly unusual -- unprecedented -- arrangement is sure to raise questions about whether it is legal for the Trump administration, and ultimately, the Trump presidential library foundation, to accept such a valuable gift from a foreign power.

Anticipating those questions, sources told ABC News that lawyers for the White House counsel's office and the Department of Justice drafted an analysis for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth concluding that is legal for the Department of Defense to accept the aircraft as a gift and later turn it over to the Trump library, and that it does not violate laws against bribery or the Constitution's prohibition (the emoluments clause) of any U.S. government official accepting gifts "from any King, Prince or foreign State."

Sources told ABC News that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump's top White House lawyer David Warrington concluded it would be "legally permissible" for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump's presidential library before the end of his term, according to sources familiar with their determination.

The sources said Bondi provided a legal memorandum addressed to the White House counsel's office last week after Warrington asked her for advice on the legality of the Pentagon accepting such a donation.

The White House and DOJ didn't immediately respond to request for comment. A spokesperson for the Qatari embassy did not respond to ABC's inquiries.

The plane will initially be transferred to the United States Air Force, which will modify the 13-year-old aircraft to meet the U.S. military specifications required for any aircraft used to transport the president of the United States, multiple sources familiar with the proposed arrangement said.

The plane will then be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation no later than Jan. 1, 2029, and any costs relating to its transfer will be paid for by the U.S. Air Force, the sources told ABC News.

The plane will initially be transferred to the United States Air Force, which will modify the 13-year-old aircraft to meet the U.S. military specifications required for any aircraft used to transport the president of the United States, multiple sources familiar with the proposed arrangement said.

According to aviation industry experts, the estimated value of the aircraft Trump will inherit is about $400 million, and that's without the additional communications security equipment the Air Force will need to add to properly secure and outfit the plane in order to safely transport the commander in chief.

As the Wall Street Journal first reported, the aviation company L3Harris has already been commissioned to overhaul the plane to meet the requirements of a presidential jet.

Both the White House and DOJ concluded that because the gift is not conditioned on any official act, it does not constitute bribery, the sources said. Bondi's legal analysis also says it does not run afoul of the Constitution's prohibition on foreign gifts because the plane is not being given to an individual, but rather to the United States Air Force and, eventually, to the presidential library foundation, the sources said.

The primary aircraft used in the current Air Force One fleet includes two aging Boeing 747-200 jumbo jets that have been operational since 1990. The Air Force contract with Boeing to replace those aircraft has been riddled with delays and cost overruns.

The original contract was signed in 2018, but as of last year, Boeing anticipated the aircraft would not be ready until 2029, after Trump leaves office.

The president has expressed deep frustration with the delays, tasking Elon Musk to work with Boeing and the Air Force to speed up the process. Those efforts have been modestly successful. Boeing's most recent estimated delivery date is now 2027, but Trump has made it clear he wants a new plane this year.

Margie Fine In The House!

That shithead Marjorie Taylor Greene will not run for the senate.

Vulnerable Democratic senator will face a Republican, but it won't be the controversial Georgia U.S. House member.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), the first Democrat in over 20 years won his seat along with reverend turned Democratic senator, Raphael Warnock in a Republican friendly state. The last senator who was a Democrat to hold the seat was Zell Miller.

Miller endorsed then president George W. Bush over his opponent then senator John Kerry. Miller was a racist like Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and current member, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA).

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) along with Osoff face a challenge come Midterms.

Democrats are unpopular. 

President Donald J. Trump and Republicans are unpopular.

The laziest lawmaker in modern history announced she will no longer interested in running for the Senate. Also Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia announced he will not run either.

Greeme said Friday she won’t challenge Ossoff in next year’s midterms, delivering relief for some Republicans who worry she’s too divisive to win.

In a lengthy post on the social media platform X, Greene disputed GOP donors and consultants who fear she would turn off the moderate Republicans and independents needed to beat Ossoff. But Greene said she doesn’t want to serve in a Senate that “doesn’t work” and that she said is dominated by lawmakers hostile to grassroots Trump supporters and unwilling to shake up the status quo.

“If I’m going to fight for a team, it will only be a team willing to lay it all on the line to save this country,” she wrote.

Ossoff, a first-term senator, won the seat by a slim margin in a state that has historically been a Republican stronghold but has more recently become a battleground. He is a top target for Republicans looking to expand their narrow Senate majority.

Popular Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who could be a formidable opponent for Ossoff, opted out of the 2026 race on Monday. His decision leaves a wide-open race for the GOP nomination.

U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, who represents a district on the Georgia coast, became the first major Republican candidate to declare Thursday.

Six other GOP officeholders besides Greene have acknowledged interest in running to The Associated Press. They include two other Republicans in the U.S. House, Mike Collins and Rich McCormick. Also considering the race are Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, state Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper, state Insurance Commissioner John King and state Sen. Greg Dolezal.

“I expect a competitive primary — Senate seats don’t come along that often,” said Eric Tanenblatt, a top national GOP fundraiser and Kemp ally who has backed Trump’s rivals in presidential primaries.

The first Jewish and youngest U.S. Georgia senator elected, Jon Ossoff must consider the risks. Continue supporting Israel and he loses progressive support. Side with Trump on some policies and he still loses progressive support. 

Greene is nationally known and a prolific fundraiser, but she has embraced conspiracy theories and feuded with members of her own party. On Thursday, she noted to reporters that she has more than 11 million social media followers, saying that’s because people know where she stands.

Greene’s appeal would be clear in a GOP primary with many voters fiercely loyal to the president. Her decision not to run came a day after she told reporters she was considering it.

“I’m going to give it some thought, talk to my family. I’m honored to have so much support from the great people of Georgia. And I have options,” she said Thursday.

Greene was first elected to the House in 2020. She initially planned to run in a competitive district in northern Atlanta’s suburbs, but relocated into the much more conservative 14th District in Georgia’s northwest corner.

Greene continued to embrace conspiracies even after 11 House Republicans joined Democrats to remove her committee assignments in February 2021. She embraced people jailed on charges following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol as political prisoners, part of her campaign to reframe the narrative of the attack and cast Democrats, not Republicans, as a party of violence.

She was welcomed back into the mainstream of the Republican conference by Kevin McCarthy, who forged an alliance with her. But Greene kept feuding with Republicans and Democrats alike. The House Freedom Caucus expelled Greene in 2023.

Israel Fuming At Trump’s Bypass!

Trump and Netanyahu are at odds.

The United Nations is useless. They cannot impose sanctions on Israel because of one permanent member's endless veteoing and threats.

The United States of America.

President Donald J. Trump is a puppet. You can string the old man around.

Apparently, Israeli regime leader Benjamin Netanyahu is angry that Trump isn't supportive of his evil conquest of the Middle East. So expect Israel to launch a campaign to leak embarrassing incidents involving Trump.

Trump will head to the several Middle Eastern countries to pressure them to accept Israel, demand they increase oil production and stay with the U.S. dollar.

More countries are abandoning the U.S. after the previous administration refused to hold Israel accountable and the current administration being more hostile towards its citizens. The tariffs also have created a toxic relationship with many of the U.S. and its closest allies.

The visit without a stop to Israel and Netanyahu has angered Zionists.

After losing several fighter jets and continued hostilities in the Red Sea, the U.S. has stopped attacking Yemen. The Houthis had warned the U.S. that if they continued attacking them on behalf of Israel, the ships will face attacks. 

Yemen closed their waters to Israel and those who ship goods to the apartheid ethnostate.

Had the U.S. minded its business in the beginning and allowed Yemeni officials to close their waters to the Israeli regime, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Now Yemen is closed to the U.S. 

Trump and his associates had issued a truce against the Houthis. It angered Israel.

Israel launched a series of deadly strike around Sana'a and destroyed its airport and seaports. Yemen had took its concerns to the UN. 

They vow retaliation.

Iran has also asked the UN to hold Israel and the U.S. accountable for the years of tensions. Iran continues to deny it has nuclear weapons. Even if they had nuclear weapons, it's their right to. The U.S. is trying to restart the JCPOA talks after Trump ripped them up in his first term. Iran doesn't trust Trump.

Iran is willing to settle with the U.S. on one condition. Israel must end its nuclear weapons, abolished its apartheid government and return all the generations of descendants to their ancestral lands.

Israel refuses that.

There is no two state solution. It is only a Greater Israel and the U.S. greenlight the manifest destiny through continued support. Israel also engaged in its support of apartheid India. They are assisting India in its aggression against Pakistan.

History will not be kind to Trump, Joe Biden and George W. Bush.

Trump has fumed over the allegations that former National Security Advisor Michael Waltz was coordinating with Netanyahu behind his back. 

Netanyahu wants the U.S. to assist in attacking nuclear facilities in Iran. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are cautious for the most part but are willing to do it.

A nuclear weapon in Iran could stop Israel from its evil.

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 and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors. 

Israel wants 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 men, women and children.

They can fuck themselves.

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.

Macy’s Cuts Dayton Loose!

Dayton loses both its Macy's stores.

Uh... my hometown.

Macy's is sputtering down. It appears that locations in Dayton are no more.

In early 2025, Macy's announced it was closing the Mall at Fairfield Commons location. Now as of late-2025, Macy's will officially closes it location at the Dayton Mall.

Dayton, Ohio has no more Macy's department stores.

By 2026, Macy's says it will shut down 150 "underproductive" locations while prioritizing investments in 350 remaining stores. It says it will also close 50 stores by the end of 2024.

"We are making the necessary moves to reinvigorate relationships with our customers through improved shopping experiences, relevant assortments and compelling value," said Tony Spring, Macy’s CEO, in a statement. Spring, who has worked nearly 40 years as a Bloomingdale's executive, assumed the role just a few weeks ago.

Despite the shuttered Macy's locations, the company, Macy's, Inc., says it also wants to expand its Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury stores by 45 locations altogether.

"Our teams are energized by the work ahead as we accelerate our path to market share gains, sustainable, profitable growth and value creation for our shareholders," said Spring.

The company has yet to specify which 150 locations will close.

The last major restructuring at Macy’s occurred in February 2020, when the company announced it would cut 2,000 corporate jobs and 125 stores over the next three years.

The company's headquarters in downtown Cincinnati at 7 W. Seventh Street closed at that time, two years after it shuttered the flagship store at Fountain Place. Macy's consolidated its headquarters in New York City.

The departure of Macy's headquarters in February 2020 was joined by a handful of other store closures in Greater Cincinnati, namely its Northgate Mall store in January 2020 and the Tri-County Mall location the following year.

David Souter Passed Away!

History will be kind to David Souter. The former Supreme Court Justice died in New Hampshire.

The former Supreme Court Justice David Souter has passed away at the age of 85.

David H. Souter, the ascetic bachelor and New Hampshire Republican who became a favorite of liberals during his nearly 20 years on the bench, has died. He was 85.

Souter died Thursday at his home in New Hampshire, the court said in a statement Friday.

He retired from the court in June 2009, giving President Barack Obama his first Supreme Court vacancy to fill. Obama, a Democrat, chose Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s first Latina justice.

Souter was appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1990. He was a reliably liberal vote on abortion, church-state relations, freedom of expression and the accessibility of federal courts. Souter also dissented from the decision in Bush v. Gore in 2000, which effectively handed the presidency to George W. Bush, the son of the man who put him on the high court.

While liberals were delighted with a justice they initially feared, conservatives turned Souter’s appointment into a rallying cry, “No more Souters,” that fueled their successful drive to move the court more firmly to the right.

In retirement, Souter warned that ignorance of how government works could undermine American democracy.

“What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough ... some one person will come forward and say, ‘Give me total power and I will solve this problem.’ That is how the Roman republic fell,” Souter said in a 2012 interview.

His lifestyle was spare — yogurt and an apple, consumed at his desk, was a typical lunch — and he shunned Washington’s social scene. He couldn’t wait to leave town in early summer. As soon as the court finished its work in late June, he climbed into his Volkswagen Jetta for the drive back to the worn farmhouse where his family moved when he was 11.

Yet for all his reserve, Souter was beloved by colleagues, court employees and friends. He was a noted storyteller and generous with his time.

“Justice David Souter served our Court with great distinction for nearly twenty years. He brought uncommon wisdom and kindness to a lifetime of public service,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. Souter continued hearing cases on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for more than a decade after he left the high court, Roberts said.

Sotomayor recalled the kindness of the man she succeeded on the Supreme Court. “When I arrived at the court, no one was more welcoming to me than David,” she said in a statement. “After his retirement, he periodically sent me notes, which I will forever treasure for their insightfulness and beautiful turns of phrase.”

When Bush plucked Souter from obscurity in 1990, liberal interest groups feared he would be the vote that would undo the court’s Roe v. Wade ruling in favor of abortion rights. He was called a stealth nominee by some.

When days were good. Then president Barack Obama and vice president Joe Biden (later president) with John Paul Stevens, Clarence Thomas, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and John Roberts, the current Supreme Court Justice. Thomas still sits in the Court. He will retire soon.

Bush White House aide John Sununu, the former conservative governor of New Hampshire, hailed his choice as a “home run.” And early in his time in Washington, Souter was called a moderate conservative.

But he soon joined in a ruling reaffirming women’s right to an abortion, a decision from 1992 that is his most noted work on the court. Thirty years later, a more conservative court overturned that decision and the constitutional right to abortion.

Souter asked precise questions during argument sessions, sometimes with a fierceness that belied his low-key manner. “He had an unerring knack of finding the weakest link in your argument,” veteran Supreme Court advocate Carter Phillips said.

Souter was history’s 105th Supreme Court justice and only its sixth bachelor.

Although hailed by The Washington Post as the capital city’s most prominently eligible single man when he moved from New Hampshire, Souter resolutely resisted the social whirl.

“I wasn’t that kind of person before I moved to Washington, and, at this age, I don’t see any reason to change,” the intensely private Souter told an acquaintance.

He worked seven days a week through most of the court’s term from October to early summer, staying at his Supreme Court office for more than 12 hours a day. He said he underwent an annual “intellectual lobotomy” at the start of each term because he had so little time to read for pleasure.

Souter rented an apartment a few miles from the court and jogged alone at Fort McNair, an Army installation near his apartment building. He was once mugged while on a run, an apparently random act.

Souter returned to his well-worn house in Weare, New Hampshire, for a few months each summer and was given the use of an office in a Concord courthouse.

An avid hiker, Souter spent much of his time away from work trekking through the New Hampshire mountains.

When Souter in 2005 joined an unpopular 5-4 decision on eminent domain allowing a Connecticut city to take several waterfront homes for a private development, a group angered by the decision tried to use it to evict him from his Weare farmhouse to make way for the “Lost Liberty Hotel.” But Weare residents rejected the proposal.

Shortly after his retirement, Souter bought a 3,500-square-foot Cape Cod-style home in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. It was reported, though perhaps it was just part of Souter’s lore, that he worried that the foundation of the house in Weare would give way under the weight of all the books he owned.

Souter had been a federal appellate judge for just over four months when picked for the high court. He had heard but one case as a federal judge, and as a state judge previously had little chance to rule on constitutional issues.

Though liberals were initially wary of his appointment, it was political conservatives who felt betrayed when, in two 1992 rulings, Souter helped forge a moderate-liberal coalition that reaffirmed the constitutional right of abortion and the court’s longtime ban on officially sponsored prayers in public schools.

Yet as Souter biographer Tinsley Yarbrough noted, the justice did not take “extreme positions.”

Indeed, in June 2008, Souter sided with Exxon Mobil Corp. and broke with his liberal colleagues in slashing the punitive damages the company owed Alaskan victims of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Before serving as a New Hampshire judge, Souter was his state’s attorney general for two years. He worked on the attorney general’s staff for the previous eight years, after a brief stint in private practice.

Souter earned his undergraduate and law degrees from Harvard University, and a master’s degree from Oxford as a Rhodes scholar.

Trump Picks The Drunk Fox To Be DC Attorney!

Trump picks Jeanine Pirro as DC Interim U.S. Attorney. Drunk on power.

If at worst, try again.

Y'all voted for this.

President Donald J. Trump announced his interim pick for District Attorney for Washington, DC. After Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) sunked the nomination of Ed Martin, the president picks another Fox personality.

Jeanine Pirro, a former Westchester County, New York judge turned media personality. Pirro is a far right conspiracy theorist and one of the many election deniers over at Fox.

She is an alcoholic.

As interim U.S. Attorney, Pirro will exit Fox. 

She will be a temporary prosecutor who will oversee and rig the system for the elite and privileged. Pirro will punish the vulnerable and poor while getting rich off of cock sucking the elite.

She is 73 years old trying to pass off as a MILF. 

She will be twerking around trying to sleep with someone soon. Guaranteed, she will sleep with someone there.

Had he picked her for permanent position, she would not get confirmed. 

Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would likely sink her bid too. Democrats will oppose her flat out.

That includes Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA).

In 2018, Pirro was "warned" to not appear with Trump. In the midterms elections for Josh Hawley, the ccontroversial Republican who now a Missouri U.S. senator, Pirro and Sean "Softball" Hannity appeared on stage to promote the president.

That violated the policies of Fox. They were warned to not do that ever again.

Those two also cost Fox some bread. In 2022, Dominion Systems sued the network over repeated lies made by Rudy Giuliani while on Fox. Pirro and "Softball" Hannity openly lied to viewers about Dominion being involved in stealing the 2020 election. Trump lost to former president Joe Biden in 2020.

The company settled with nearly $800 million. Smartmatic is still suing the network.

Fox was about to fire Pirro out the cannon. They got rid of Lou Dobbs, Lara Logan, Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino. Bongino became deputy FBI director.

Trump tapped Pirro to at least temporarily lead the nation’s largest U.S. Attorney’s office after pulling his nomination of conservative activist Ed Martin Jr. for the position earlier Thursday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was naming Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., but didn’t indicate whether he would nominate her for the Senate-confirmed position on a more permanent basis.

“Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself,” Trump wrote.

Trump withdrew Martin from consideration after a key Republican senator said he could not support Martin for the job due to his defense of rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. He later added, “But we have somebody else that will be great.”

Martin’s leading role in Trump’s “Stop the Steal” movement was demoralizing for subordinates who spent four years prosecuting over 1,500 riot defendants only to see the president pardon them en masse. Pirro has her own connection to the baseless conspiracy theories of election fraud.

In 2021, voting technology company Smartmatic USA sued Fox News, Pirro and others for spreading false claims that the company helped “steal” the 2020 presidential election from Trump. The company’s libel suit, filed in a New York state court, sought $2.7 billion from the defendants.

Pirro is the latest in a string of Trump appointments coming from Fox News — a list that includes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who co-hosted “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

“Jeanine Pirro has been a wonderful addition to The Five over the last three years and a longtime beloved host across Fox News Media who contributed greatly to our success throughout her 14-year tenure. We wish her all the best in her new role in Washington,” a Fox News Media spokesperson said in a statement.

Martin has served as acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia since Trump’s first week in office. But his hopes of keeping the job faded amid questions about his qualifications and background. Martin had never served as a prosecutor or tried a case before taking office in January.

Martin has stirred up a chorus of critics during his brief but tumultuous tenure in office. He fired and demoted subordinates who worked on politically sensitive cases. He posted on social media about potential targets of investigations. And he forced the chief of the office’s criminal division to resign after directing her to scrutinize the awarding of a government contract during Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration.

Martin’s temporary appointment is due to expire May 20.

Pirro, a 1975 graduate of Albany Law School, has significantly more courtroom experience than Martin. She led one of the nation’s first domestic violence units in a prosecutor’s office.

After her elected terms as a judge and district attorney, Pirro briefly campaigned in 2005 as a Republican to unseat then-Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton before announcing that she would would run for New York attorney general instead. She lost that race to Andrew Cuomo, son of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.

Pirro became an ubiquitous television pundit during O.J. Simpson’s murder trial, often appearing on CNN’s “Larry King Live.” During her time on Fox News, she has frequently interviewed Trump.

In the final minutes of his first term as president, Trump issued a pardon to Pirro’s ex-husband, Albert Pirro, who was convicted in 2000 on conspiracy and tax evasion charges.

An American Pope: Leo XIV!

Leo XIV, the Pope of the Holy See.

The Holy See of the Vatican Church and State has elected a new Papel.

American cardinal is chosen as the Pope.

POPE LEO XIV.

A secretative council of cardinals elected [formerly] Robert Prevost, 69 as the first United States citizen to be the leader of the Catholic church.

Leo may copy the theories and teachings of Pope Francis.

He already got President Donald J. Trump and MAGAland outraged.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Leo dedicated his early clerical career to the Order of Saint Augustine. His service included extensive work in Peru from 1985 to 1986 and 1988 to 1998, where he served as a parish pastor, diocesan official, seminary teacher, and administrator. Elected Prior General of the Order of Saint Augustine from 2001 to 2013, he later returned to Peru as Bishop of Chiclayo (2015–2023). In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and the president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, and created him a cardinal the same year. These roles elevated his prominence as a papal candidate.

Leo XIV is the first American pope, the first Peruvian pope, and the second pope from the Americas. He is the first pope from the Order of Saint Augustine and the seventh from orders following the Rule of St. Augustine.

He spent his childhood and adolescence with his family and studied first at the Minor Seminary of the Augustinian Fathers and then at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, where in 1977 he earned a Degree in Mathematics and also studied Philosophy. 

On September 1 of the same year, Prevost entered the novitiate of the Order of Saint Augustine (O.S.A.) in Saint Louis, in the Province of Our Lady of Good Counsel of Chicago, and made his first profession on September 2, 1978. On August 29, 1981, he made his solemn vows.

The future Pontiff received his theological education at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. At the age of 27, he was sent by his superiors to Rome to study Canon Law at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum). 

In Rome, he was ordained a priest on June 19, 1982, at the Augustinian College of Saint Monica by Archbishop Jean Jadot, then pro-president of the Secretariat for Non-Christians, which later became the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and then the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue.

Prevost obtained his licentiate in 1984 and the following year, while preparing his doctoral thesis, was sent to the Augustinian mission in Chulucanas, Piura, Peru (1985–1986). In 1987, he defended his doctoral thesis on "The Role of the Local Prior in the Order of Saint Augustine" and was appointed vocation director and missions director of the Augustinian Province of “Mother of Good Counsel” in Olympia Fields, Illinois (USA).

Hopefully, I am confident he will address the issues with Israel and India.

As we are speaking right now, Israel is launching a full-scale invasion of Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Israel will do it worst to seize land for its colonialism. Russia is still trying to seize land in Ukraine despite the Trump administration trying to propose a ceasefire. There are tensions between India and Pakistan, with India launching a full scale invasion in the Kashmir region.

And of course, Trump.

Leo, you have a lot of work to do.

Cop Walk In Tyre Nichols Murder! 👮‍♂️

Three of the five former Memphis Police officers who killed Tyre Nichols walk.

Divine intervention is a coming. Keep allowing police officers kill unarmed or fleeing suspects. Keep saying that just because the suspect was armed, they had no choice but to fire.  Keep saying that a suspect’s past arrests justify a police officer's use of force. Keep saying that we should not rush to judgment.

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!

If the suspect didn't fire on the cop, there is no justified reason to use deadly force.

Call me old fashion, but most states still allow lawful carry regardless of it being used in a crime.

Also, just because a suspect bruised your fragile ego, doesn't give the police the right to rough up suspects. If there were less American cops being trained by the Zionist Israeli regime, we would have less police killings.

Memphis is on edge after a jury found three of the seven former officers not guilty in the aggravated assault, manslaughter and second degree murder of Tyre Nichols. Five officers were the ones who lynched an unarmed motorist after routine traffic stop. The officers were Black and the victim was Black.

They are not out of the woods yet. If the U.S. Justice Department sticks to the charges, these assholes could face some time. We'll see if Attorney General Pam Bondi actually do her fucking job.

Tennessee, a state with an idiot white Zionist Republican governor, two white Zionist idiot U.S. Republican senators, a white Jewish Zionist Democratic U.S. House member representing a majority Black congressional district.

A state that voted 65% for the convicted felon, twice impeached, mentally challenged Zionist moron, President Donald J. Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024.

A state that had a man blow up his RV, a non binary person shoots up a Christian themed school, mass shootings in six of the state's largest cities, the death of Young Dolph, neo Nazis walking in Nashville, Hurricane Helene and numerous encounters with tornadoes, bears and alligators.

Tennessee is one of stupidest states. The other most stupidest states are Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Florida, Texas, South Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia and New Mexico.

These five men betrayed their community and sold their souls to the coon gang.

Anyway, if a police officers are shot by people who were wronged by them... blame Trump. He pardoned and commuted the terms of people who violently attacked police on Jan. 6, 2021. 

He gave us open season.

White people, Asian people, Zionists and even our Black and Brown kind can openly use racial slurs on us. As long as they don't put their hands on me or my family, I am let them fester in the cesspool. But put their hands on me, they will see divine intervention. Whether I die or they die, I won't condone anything.

Three former Memphis officers were acquitted Wednesday of all state charges, including second-degree murder, in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols after he ran away from a traffic stop, a death that sparked nationwide protests and prompted renewed calls for police reforms in the U.S.

An out-of-town jury from a majority-white county took about 8 1/2 hours over two days to find Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith not guilty on all charges after a nine-day trial in state court in Memphis, which is majority-Black. After the jury’s verdict was read, the defendants hugged their lawyers as relatives of the former officers cried. Outside the courtroom, one relative yelled, “Thank you, Jesus!”

This is what they did to him. They lynched him.

Martin Zummach, Smith’s attorney, told The Associated Press by text: “It’s easy to defend a good person. It’s nerve racking to represent an innocent man. “

The three defendants still face the prospect of years in prison after they were convicted of federal charges, though they were acquitted of the most serious charges there, too. Two other former officers previously pleaded guilty in both state and federal court, including Emmitt Martin, who defense attorneys blamed for the majority of the violence.

Bean and Smith are out on bond and under house arrest after their federal convictions. Haley is being held in federal prison.

Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, fled a traffic stop after he was yanked out of his car, pepper-sprayed and hit with a Taser. Five officers who are also Black caught up with him and punched, kicked and hit him with a police baton, struggling to handcuff Nichols as he called out for his mother just steps from his home. Nichols died Jan. 10, 2023, three days after the beating.

Footage of the beating captured by a police pole camera also showed the officers milling about, talking and laughing as Nichols struggled with his injuries, video that prompted intense scrutiny of police in Memphis.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents Nichols’ family, issued a statement expressing outrage at the outcome of the trial.

“Today’s verdicts are a devastating miscarriage of justice,” the statement reads. ”The world watched as Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by those sworn to protect and serve.”

They avoid a state term.

Memphis District Attorney Steve Mulroy said he respects the jury but thinks the evidence was there for every charge that prosecutors brought.

“Was I surprised that there wasn’t a single guilty verdict on any of the counts or any of the lesser-included offenses, given the overwhelming evidence that we presented? Yes, I was surprised. Do I have an explanation for it? No.”

He said he spoke to Nichols’ family briefly and, “They were devastated. ... I think they were outraged, and we can understand why they would be outraged, given the evidence.”

Defense attorneys said Martin was responsible for the most violence

Former Memphis officers Desmond Mills Jr. and Martin, who were also involved in the beating, did not stand trial in state court after they agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors. They also pleaded guilty in federal court, where sentencing for all five officers is pending.

At trial, defense attorneys emphasized that Martin kicked and punched Nichols several times in the head.

The defense also seemed to score points with their use-of-force experts, who testified that the three officers on trial acted in compliance with police department policies and widely accepted law enforcement standards. Attorneys for Bean and Smith called character witnesses who testified that the men were good officers who did their job the right way.

Mills testified for the prosecution, saying he regrets his failure to stop the beating, which led to Nichols’ death from blunt force trauma. Nichols suffered tears and bleeding in the brain, Dr. Marco Ross, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy, said in court testimony.

The officers had been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. In addition to beating Nichols, prosecutors also said the officers failed to intervene and failed to tell medical personnel that Nichols had been hit repeatedly in the head.

The defense argued that Nichols was resisting arrest

Mills acknowledged on the stand that he had a duty to intervene, but didn’t. He admitted Nichols never punched or kicked any of the officers.

But Mills also bolstered the defense’s case when he said Nichols was actively resisting arrest and not complying with orders to present his hands to be cuffed. Under cross-examination, he indicated he would not have struck Nichols if Nichols had put his hands behind his back. He also agreed that an officer is not safe until a suspect is handcuffed and searched for a weapon.

All over a traffic stop, a man loses his life.

Zummach noted in closing arguments that credit and debit cards that did not belong to Nichols were found in his car when it was searched after the beating and said it was likely why Nichols ran from the traffic stop. Defense lawyers have argued that the fatal beating would not have taken place if Nichols had just allowed himself to be handcuffed.

“This is Emmitt Martin’s and Tyre Nichols’ doing,” Zummach said.

The jury for the state trial was chosen in Hamilton County, which includes Chattanooga, after Judge James Jones Jr. ordered the case be heard from people outside of Shelby County, which includes Memphis. Defense lawyers for the officers had argued that intense publicity made seating a fair jury difficult.

Prosecutor Paul Hagerman told reporters outside the courtroom that the Chattanooga area was chosen for jury selection after the city was shown in a study to have the least amount of pre-trial publicity among Tennessee’s largest cities.

In December, the U.S. Justice Department said a 17-month investigation showed the Memphis Police Department uses excessive force and discriminates against Black people.

The five officers, the city of Memphis and the police chief are being sued by Nichols’ family for $550 million. A trial has been scheduled for next year.
