Genuine question: Tell me why Iran won't move quickly to build nuclear weapons when they see that single card is holding all of NATO at bay in Ukraine? Follow up: seeing this, why wouldn't Israel make new moves to quickly stop/destroy whatever Iran has in motion?

I'm watching the UN Security Council emergency meeting

#StandWithUkraine President of the Security Council is currently Russia, BTW

Praying for Ukraine. 🇺🇦

I hope we have sent our Ukrainian friends every armament we conceivably can.

I'm watching the UN Security Council meeting live. Under-Secretary General is speaking now - reported 2,331 cease-fire violations so far. US is speaking now - Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield

"Soveriegn territory of Ukraine" "He [Putin] calls them peacekeepers. This is nonsense"

"This move is clearly... pretext for a further invasion of Ukraine"

"pretext for war"

Putin has started the war by “recognizing” two regions in Ukraine as independent states minutes ago.

We cannot allow a fascist autocrat to unilaterally dismantle a democratic country, the largest in Europe.

I support our president in doing anything and everything to stop Putin

INFLATION is happening.
Do you know another, dirty secret WHY ( it isn't President Biden or supply chain)?

EXTRA PROFITS 💰

The WSJ says "Executives are seizing a once in a generation opportunity to raise prices to match and in some cases outpace their own higher expenses" "a measure of profits for all U.S. corporations, as a share of gross domestic product, in the second quarter of this year was the second highest recorded since 1960.

Did I mention that Elon Musk blocked me a few years ago because I started calling out his BS early on? Back in 2017.

Looking at Virginia and so many other races: Democrats play it safe with messaging.

We have a system setup now where mediocre strategies/strategists, PR consultants, managers, etc. play it safe and generally LOSE.

1/ We have to use tools of psychology to FIND what is effective with voters and DEPLOY them broadly.

We must CONTROL the narrative as best we can. Virginia was an abject failure. CRT isn't in schools and parents do have control. Did you hear any messaging around that?

THREAD
I used to live near a WWII veteran in farmland Minnesota. He kept the nicest garden of flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees, at least an acre's worth. He was old and lived in a very modest house with his wife of 60+ years amongst the corn & soybean fields.
1/ Bud and I would talk every time we had a chance.

One day, I was talking with Bud and I asked him about the amount of time he spent tending to his majesty of nature.

He looked at me, and a tear formed in the corner of his eye.

Bud wasn't a man who'd ever shown me emotion.

2/

I have certain family members who support only strict, limited, “legal” immigration.

It was time to address it head-on after getting another message about it.

1/ I wrote: One of my forebears crossed illegally into the US from Canada after being turned away at Ellis Island (I believe).

He likely would’ve died in the Old Country as they were busy rounding up the Jews.

2/

Microsoft Bing is censoring search results here in the US for the Chinese government.

Let that sink in for a moment.

I just checked Bing and only saw tanks, checked Google and it shows the iconic images.

While impeachment hearings continue, the OIG just cleared the conspiracy of the Russia investigation origins.

Yes, mistakes were made, but no conspiracy against Trump.

Again: NO CONSPIRACY AGAINST TRUMP

#Russia #Trump #CrossFireHurricane

justice.gov/storage/120919… It's important to note criticisms:
"neither the AG Guidelines nor the DIOG contain a provision requiring Department consultation before opening an
investigation such as the one here involving the alleged
conduct of individuals associated with a major party
presidential campaign."

I’ll never forget 9/11/2001.

Driving to work in Minneapolis, listening to KQ92 when the first ✈️ hit, they thought it was a small plane. Then the 2nd hit and we all knew it was terrorism.

Got to work, websites weren’t responding because they were overloaded.

1/ Everyone was trying to figure out what was happening.

Someone wheeled a TV into the break room. We all huddled around it.

Then the first tower fell.

Horror. Disbelief.

The death and dust.

I couldn’t breathe.

We were at war.

2/

It’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay today. I’ve met a number of Holocaust survivors over the years & there are not many left.

I was recently gifted the opportunity to meet/listen to David Wiener, originally from Łódź Poland survivor of both the Warsaw Ghetto and Auschwitz, speak.

1/ I didn’t record him as few would understand his accent, but I took notes and received his permission to publish.

These are his thoughts as he spoke, some of which I’d never heard before and were shocking.

I just watched the entire hour and 45 minutes that supposedly clears the #CovingtonCatholicHighSchool kids - it does change the narrative from the original video
YET
I still see serious issues with their attitude, actions, and their chaperones.
1/ For example, the Black Israelites (BI)were in that position long before , they are maybe 5 people.

Covington congregated around the BI and while doing some school chants taunted the BI.

Back at the U of MN we had a loud preacher at the mall shouting like the BI.
