As FDR famously said, "Yesterday, December 7, 1941 -- a date which marked the end of World War II."

New Apostolic Reformation [NAR] Church to be specific.

The text from the assassin to his wife: “daddy went to war last night”. Pretty alarming.

NAR is responsible for dissolving the separation of church and state. Members include Speaker Mike Johnson, Michael Flynn, Charlie Kirk, MTG, and Lauren Boebert.

Five months into Trump's presidency, and we are in a war.

Did his supporters have that on the bingo card?

To The People I Know Who Voted for Him. “you had a chance…to condemn his criminality, to prevent his lawlessness, to denounce his bigotry — and you flat-out refused. More than that, you celebrated it. That’s not something I can quietly abide.”

This was always what “burning it all down” was going to look like btw. Sorry if you thought it was going to lead to you personally leading a kangaroo court against whatever politician you had the most personal animosity towards and starting your cartoon version of a hippie commune where there was no rape and murder and nobody had to be in charge of waste disposal while every poor person in the world suddenly magically had enough to eat.

Mamdani's campaign has since responded to the death threats, saying in a statement:

While Zohran does not own a car, the violent and specific language of what appears to be a repeat caller is alarming and we are taking every precaution. While this is a sad reality, it is not surprising after millions of dollars have been spent on dehumanizing, Islamophobic rhetoric designed to stoke division and hate. Violence and racism should have no place in our politics. Zohran remains focused on delivering a safe and affordable New York.

“For decades, Israeli leaders have ignored American objections and done what they wanted to do as U.S. presidents fumed privately, issuing occasional public warnings before ultimately deciding to go along. That’s why Israel now occupies so large a chunk of the West Bank with so many hundreds of thousands of settlers that the creation of a viable Palestinian state is now likely foreclosed (by the way, Netanyahu announced the biggest expansion in about three decades just three weeks ago). It’s why Israel can plan unimpeded to occupy as much of Gaza as it wishes for as long as it wishes, as it has done since the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack. It’s why, since Israel’s 1948 creation, more than half of the 89 U.S. vetoes in the U.N. Security Council have been taken in support of the Jewish state.”

Netanyahu is a war criminal and a murderer. The unwavering fealty my government gives to that loathsome monster is sickening.

SpaceX’s Ship 36 experienced a ‘major anomaly’ Wednesday night just ahead of a planned static fire test in Texas.

Late Wednesday night at about 11PM CT, SpaceX was about to perform a static fire test of Ship 36, ahead of a planned 10th flight test for its Starship, when there was suddenly a massive explosion at the Massey’s Testing Center site. SpaceX says “A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for,” and that there are no hazards to residents in the area of its recently incorporated town of Starbase, Texas.

The site continues to burn at this time, about two hours after the explosion, with live camera feeds from NASASpaceflight and LabPadre showing the site, as well as the response from local fire departments. According to the people narrating on NASASpaceflight, the explosion occurred before the static fire test was supposed to start, and about 30 minutes or so after the propellant load sequence began. During a static fire test, the vehicle’s rocket engines fire while it remains attached to the launch mount, so Ship 36 was not scheduled to lift off just yet.
