A Jewish museum in Baghdad was not in my bingo card. Amazing!
Jewish Museum opened in Baghdad yesterday in a building that used to be a Jewish school. They had 1,000 visitors on the first day

Trump’s Historic Betrayal of Ukraine, by @FridaGhitis fridainsight.substack.com/p/…

U.S. voters are likely to punish, not reward, President Donald Trump’s increasingly open alignment with Russia in the Nov. 3 midterms—all the more so amid reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered business deals to Trump’s allies, @FridaGhitis writes. wpr.pub/486DqhB

Trump betrayed Ukrainians and Americans: "The pivot toward Putin has occurred with dizzying speed, and it’s particularly shocking not only because of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and support for Iran in killing US troops, but because most Americans view Russia as an enemy"

Trump waved at an empty space. It happens often. This time, the cameraman made sure everyone could see that. Watch to the end.

Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, praises Putin as a "humanitarian," even as Putin's forces bomb civilians in Ukraine as part of Russia's unprovoked invasions of its neighbor.

Is this what they meant by globalize the intifada?
Rioters raised the Palestinian flag at the Statue of the Republic, Paris, France (I believe this was yesterday)

Sounds like Putin convinced Trump that he's already helping the United States because he could be doing a lot more to help Iran. #ArtoftheDeal
Trump on Truth Social: My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations! Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want! Perhaps more importantly, Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way. Lastly, Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn’t care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

History books will tell the story of how the US betrayed Ukraine in its hour of need
🧵Rubio: “Star Shield is a defense product, a military product, …that is something that… the military, United States military uses. It’s not at this moment available to Ukraine and that's under conversation, it's under discussion right now about how they would want to use it.

This is supposed to help the Palestinians?
Based on this video and preponderance of flags, it appears that the “Free Palestine” crowd has attacked and occupied the Marseille City Hall.

It's as if they wanted Le Pen and the far right to take power.
Looting Louis Vuitton during the “student protests” in France. This is real.
