.@olin_kreutz on the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers: "You got outcoached, you got outplayed, you got outhit. The Packers were the better football team today, which I didn't expect going into today's football game."

After the Bears fired him in 1993, Ditka made a cameo appearance on the SNL cold open with the Superfans. What a loss.

🇮🇳 REMEMBER THIS MAN: CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHHAR. An Indian captain flying hundreds of people from Dubai to Tel Aviv was stabbed in his own cockpit. Wounded, bleeding, with the aircraft plunging thousands of feet, he fought back. Then passengers and crew did something extraordinary: They stormed the cockpit. They restrained the attacker. Other pilots took control. And that plane LANDED. Hundreds of families got their loved ones back today because ordinary people refused to freeze when everything went wrong. Captain Smit Machchhar — India and the whole WORLD should be proud of you. 🇮🇳 And to the passengers and crew who ran toward the danger instead of away from it: Heroes. Every single one of you. This is what courage looks like.

.@RoKhanna long ago forgot the country he is supposed to represent and now advocates for a convicted murderer from a foreign country. I kid you not. To think I thought he was supposed to represent Silicon Valley and the advance of technology in the Congress.
Ro Khanna wants Israel to free Marwan Barghouti. A U.S. congressman begging for a man convicted of murdering a Greek Orthodox monk, a mother of two at a gas station, and three people at a Tel Aviv restaurant. Five life sentences. Not a political prisoner. A convicted killer.

15.8 million Jews in 2026. 16.6 million in 1939. 87 years later, the Jewish people still have not replaced the dead. That is genocide. Not a body count in a war.

I try to stay apolitical in my profession of war studies, I really do, but the anti-Israeli grift in American politics is sick. Even if you don't care about Israel. Have no clue about the benefits of the Israel-American relationship (there are many). Hate to hate. To see political candidates make anti-Israel one of their primary political positions, in the United States, and get votes for that, to play on ignorance about Israel, the region, the different fronts rather than real domestic issues like economy, safety, opportunity or foreign policy issues like great power competition, terrorism, energy, national security, waste/fraud/abuse in the international institutions. Rather, to play on clickbait lies rather than hard truths. It is sick and continues to put American jewish citizens, communities in danger.

Former hostage Rom Braslavski after the IDF killed the terrorist who held him hostage: "Now you're dying one by one, and not one of you will be left. Everyone in Islamic Jihad and Hamas, every terrorist, will be killed one by one. Thank you to the IDF!"

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.

🚨 IRGC commanders booked 15 hotel rooms thinking they were safe, they weren’t. Four IRGC commanders in Lebanon used multiple identities, reserved 15 rooms, then gathered in a single room and even disabled all hotel cameras. Despite these precautions, an Israeli drone precisely struck their location and eliminated all four. The level of infiltration and intelligence is on another level.
⭕ أربعة من قادة الحرس الثوري الإيراني في أحد فنادق لبنان حجزوا 15 غرفة بالفندق عبر أشخاص من لبنان وعندما وصلوا أخذوا المفاتيح منهم وسكنوا في غرفة واحدة قاموا بتعطيل كل كاميرات الفندق دون أن يعرف أحد بذلك.. ورغم كل هذه الاحتياطات و الإجراءات الأمنية المشددة جاءت مسيرة إسرائيلية استهدفت الشقة التي يجلسون فيها وقضت عليهم أربعتهم اختراق للنخاع 😜

This lady ate a surface-to-air missile, sustained a 12-14 G rocket-propelled ejection, likely hit the ground at 15+ miles per hour… And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her. Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.
Footage of Kuwaiti locals approaching one of the shot down American pilots this morning. “Are you OK? Thank you for helping us.”

Holy shit. Film yourself breaking into a private property. Cause huge amount of damage. Smash a policewoman’s spine repeatedly with a sledgehammer! All proven with video evidence. And a bunch of racist Bristol jurors will let you off because, you know, Jews.

Here's a hug for your heart. @RepBrianMast lost both of his legs in Afghanistan serving in the US Army. Holocaust survivor, 101 year old Jack Waksal, gives him the Birkat Kohanim Blessing — to lift him, protect him, and give him peace. Bless both these gracious heroes!❤️

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him. The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump. Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power. That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality. And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive. Congress needs to do its job. Now. Before it's too late.

Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis" This must be shared every day.

That's it. I'm calling it. This is the Iranian Revolution. We're literally in the Iranian Revolution. This is the moment we Iranians have been preparing for our entire lives. This is going to be bigger than the fall of the Berlin Wall. History is being made by Iranians.
