According to the State Dept. the mere presence of Palestinian persons in our midst "undermines US policy to combat antisemitism." To my mind this says nothing about the danger of Palestinians and everything about the danger of the current regime. www.npr.org/2025/04/29/n...

This morning a purportedly "unbiased" news source reported that although Trump's approval rating has "slipped" it's "better than Biden's." Two months into his term, Biden was riding a 54% approval rating. Trump is currently at 47%. Are we looking at a whole new way of defining "better?"

I learned this morning that we have a new category of immigrants in our country: "terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile." No doubt the Shitler-MuskmElon regime will soon criminalize actual citizens who speak out against them with regard to whom they similarly lack any evidence.
