We'll start with a look at a major diplomatic effort that has fallen apart.

Good. All illegals 'va a Denver; mucho COSA gratis'. 🤠👌
Not much sympathy for leftist, anti-American, anti-free speech, defunding platform GOOGLE. Love it when tyrants and tyrannical cronies 'eat their own'; 'bon appetit '.☠️😵💫
N. Korean weapons to Russia-BAD. U S and NATO weapons to Ukraine-Good? The EU is determined to repeat the carnage of 1916-1918 and from 1939-1945. Who's ready to be 'sacrificed' on the alter of Democracy for Ukraine? Viet Nam, Desert 1, Iraq, and Afghanistan--- all predicated on LIES.
Are we to believe that the comedian is now an expert on the art of modern warfare and tactics?
Venezuelan elections-- blue print for what the DEMOCRATS wanna do here. That's DEMOCRACY!! 💀According to Peliosi, Obama, Hillary, et al. 🤖👾👽
Blinken and his crew are complete and utter morons; DEI and low IQ individuals are at the highest level of YOUR (we, the People) government. Keep electing Democrats!! The 'freek show in ChIraq' says it all.
The families of the 'remaining hostages' are irrational. What is it that they expect/want the government to do? How many Israeli soldiers do they want to be sacrificed to 'rescue' the hostages? What's to keep Hamas from executing them B 4 rescue? Lotta bitchin' an moaning, but no rational options.
Stupid. How do you 'negotiate' with someone when they don't join the discussion? The families that blame Bibi are not honest. If Hamas had not attacked, no one would be hostage. The solution is to invade the tunnels; kill every Hamas fighter. Only then will it end.
Re: Brazil; good 'go by' for the Democrat Party here. Plenty of 'Democracy protecting' leftist judges to side against the 1st Amendment rights of citizens. For you dolts who can't see the pattern: it's government tells you EVERYTHING you can and can't do. Remember "Hope and Change"? Well this is what it looks like.😵💫🥸
How stupid. Let's negotiate, BUT the other antagonist, and PERPETRATOR are not in attendance. Negotiate with yourself. I would say we all 'agreed' Hamas is evil and ask the UN (🤣) send troops to finish the destruction of Hamas. 👍😵💫 Lemme know how that works out.👻👾💀
Monkey Pox; CDC failure; all according to plan. The "PROGRESSIVE" movement will kill you, if they can, thru the vigorous application of 'Diversity' and racial incompetence. Results mean NOTHING; skin color is everything.😵💫👾
Thanks for everything you do
Maduro took a page outta the Democrat election handbook. Wait for the Democrats to take PAGES out of Maduro's POST ELECTION handbook after this November. Remember, 'early voting' starts in a week or so.😵💫👍
Indicted 2 months ago, and unsealed today! How convenient. See, DOJ's on it; we're not the corrupt three letter government agency you thot we were/are. 😉👏👻
It's also what the power hungry, election cheating DEMOCRAT PARTY will do if their election, propaganda scheme in conjunction with the failed CORPORATE MEDIA doesn't deliver in this November's general election.
Where's SecDef in all this? AA/DEI hire Austin is too busy stripping the MOH from 19th century Indian War soldiers. Vote DEMOCRAT, and chant 'Death to Israel', and 'Death to America' at your next pro-Hamas rally.😎💀
postal service lol yup
Madero took a page out of the DEMOCRAT party play book. Next thing you know, there'll be an 'insurrection' in Venezuela. Vote DEMOCRAT in November; it'll happen here. You'll love it...Diversity and Equity for ALL😎👾💀
How much more BS lying are we to be subjected to by these, leftist, deep State, NWO bastards, evading with double speed and hiding behind the "on going investigation" BS. I'm SICK OF IT. 😡🙀🤬
DEI--?--Federal Agencies are not only CORRUPT, they are led, and staffed, with inept incompetents. 💀👎👽😡😎
