Humanity Clings to the Wreckage

“Kill them all!”

You have a problem with that? What are you, some kind of unmanly wimp? Pete Hegseth spits in your face.

Let me catch my breath, calm myself, wipe my face. The cutting edge is raw. A hundred deaths, a thousand deaths, quickly turn into “collateral damage.” But the killing of two desperate men, clinging to the wreckage of their boat in the Caribbean – their boat that has just been bombed – rips open the abstraction of military public relations. They’re just ordinary human beings – like you, like me, like our parents and our children – rather than . . . uh, narco-terrorists. And suddenly this new war the Trump administration has launched is more than just a videogame. Hey, Pete, this is not keeping us safe!

Making disparaging remarks against Somalis is nasty and unbefitting of a president

President Trump has recently called US Rep. Ilhan Omar “garbage” and immigrants like her “garbage” too. That is a vile and dangerous thing to say. Rep. Omar and Somalis in Minnesota and across the country are now being harassed and threatened thanks to President Trump and his MAGA lunatics. DJT has a longstanding history of using dehumanizing language toward his political adversaries and marginalized groups, frequently referring to them as "vermin," "enemies from within," and other disparaging terms. Everything that comes out of Trump's mouth is a lie or exaggeration of the truth. His double standards really need to stop, and his hatred of Somalis and brown people isn't doing the country any good. It is even more disturbing that all members of the President's cabinet as well as MAGA clan are not embarrassed by Trump's incendiary and vile statements even when it slanders people of color. Just read a report by the Independent about a 30-year-old Florida man is facing up to six years in federal prison after confessing to posting violent threats on X that promised to decapitate Rep.

We Need to Know How Corporate Democrats Made President Trump Possible

Ten years after Donald Trump first ran for president, he stands at the helm of Titanic America. How did this happen?

 No factors were more pivotal than the outlooks and actions of the Democratic Party leadership. Scrutinizing them now is vital not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a clear focus on ways to prevent further catastrophe.

 Here’s actual history that corporate Democrats pretend didn’t happen:

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: Does anyone still remember me?!

If we truly had a free media in the US, rather than one serving the interest of the only shithole in the Middle East, the story of Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, who was kidnapped by the IDF one year ago and has been since held in Israeli concentration camp would have been a front-page story.

Daniel Pearl and Etan Alexander were taken captives in Afghanistan (2002) and Gaza (2023) respectively. Their names became household names. Their stories were televised by US media and their pictures were front page stories. Sadly, Pearl did not make it, but Alexander was freed and came back home. Reason? There were both Jewish.

Israeli occupation forces detained Dr. Abu Safia on December 27 after they forcibly vacated the Kamal Adwan Hospital during a military operation in northern Gaza.

Dr. Abu Safiya is currently held in Ofer Prison, which is located near Ramallah in Israel. He was previously detained in notorious Sde Teiman military detention camp before being transferred to Ofer Prison, as reported by the Middle East Monitor.

Scams & Money Laundering in Southeast Asia


BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand seized more than $300 million in a new crackdown against international criminals allegedly laundering money through two banks in Bangkok from online scam centers in neighboring Cambodia and Myanmar, but the top suspects are still at large.

"The individuals involved are all scammers. Three or four who have been arrested are major players," Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced on December 3 after a nationwide investigation.

"The seized or frozen assets amount to more than 10 billion baht ($312.5 million)," Mr. Anutin said without naming the arrested people.

They were charged with "conspiracy, running a criminal association, public fraud, and money laundering," a summary of the police report said.

More than a dozen top suspects are still at large including "Yim Leak chairman of BIC Group, a major financial network in Cambodia, who was suspected of bringing criminal proceeds into Thailand for money laundering or business investment," it said.

Cash was allegedly laundered through fake "mule accounts" before reaching two of Thailand's biggest banks.
