wonder what gave him the first clue?

Well would ya look at that. Turns out Israel didn't 'bomb a hospital' after all. Where are all the mea culpas and corrections by the news media that put it out there that they did?

An awful lot of these independent candidates seem to have GOP donors. 🤔

Good morning, CoSo!

All around us, there are forces striving to turn difference of opinion into division, and division into conflict, and to get you to be furious with this or that person because they said something you might disagree with.

You don't have to play that game. Nobody asked you if you wanted to in the first place; they just assumed you'd join in if they started hollering. But it's not your game and it's not to your advantage. You get to walk away. You get to make your own rules.

CRAZY!!!!!! Something needs to be done. They really think they can bully themselves into positions. Pretty sure that's a CRIME.

PSA - It's fairly common knowledge I'm a supporter of Israel. If anyone here is openly supporting Hamas or Islamic Jihad I'd very much like to hear about it in order to take appropriate action.

However, I'm also of the view that supporting regular Palestinians is not the same as supporting Hamas / Islamic Jihad / Hezbollah.

I've said before we're allowed to have differing opinions, but COSO will not tolerate the support of terrorists. So if u see something say something.

Use the tools.

Geolocated footage published on October 18 indicates that #Ukrainian forces advanced north of Pishchanivka (14km east of Kherson City and 3km from the Dnipro River) and into Poyma .

A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that two UKR “assault groups” landed on the east bank of the Dnipro River and broke through initial Russian defenses, temporarily occupying all of Poyma & positions on the northern outskirts of Pishchanivka on the afternoon of Oct 17.

I just read postings from people I follow and haven't seen the hatred others talk about. Two people whose postings I really value, @Render and @phase2 , I think are swamped in the hatred, enough even to push them away for a time. I look forward to their return. More, I pray for an end of the hatred.

I should note that as a goy I might not recognize an antisemitic attack as such, if subtle code words are used. Nor non overt anti Muslim hatred. There's much overt hate in the world.

The Keystone Lawyers! Not everyone does it like Florida. DC says they can't even accept it with your name on it.

Homeland Security sees ''heightened threat environment' in US

Pro-Hamas extremists and neo-Nazis flood social media with calls for violence https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-hamas-extremists-neo-nazis-flood-social-media-calls-violence-rcna121043 via @nbcnews

I mean the IDF hasn't even sent troops into Gaza yet. That's what we really need to watch and monitor in relation to what Hezbollah and Iran do.

Unless the anti-war protesters took a shit in the Cannon Rotunda and attacked the Capitol Police with bear spray, please spare me your false equivalence.

Steele: Trump Declassification Decision Led to Russian Sources’ Disappearance

the ex-MI6 officer said the former president’s choice to declassify testimony given to Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s alleged links with Russia was “one of the most egregious breaches of intelligence rules and protocol by the U.S. government in recent times.” Steele, who once ran MI6’s Russia desk, added: “Two of the named Russian sources have not been seen or heard of since

The unfortunate reality is that this will be the biggest conflict Israel has been in since its establishment as a state. The fatality numbers are piling up. Thus far, the Yom Kippur War has the most fatalities. But if things continue as they are, that will pale in comparison to what is coming. And I'm not a conspiracy guy or someone who exaggerates for shock value.
