Did You Catch the Fatal Flaw in Obama's Comments on the Pretti Death? It's a Whopper That Even He Can't Get Away With

Did You Catch the Fatal Flaw in Obama's Comments on the Pretti Death? It's a Whopper That Even He Can't Get Away With: 

“Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job. But Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety,” the president wrote.

“That’s not what we’re seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we’re seeing the opposite.

NATO leader warns Europe is unable to defend itself without US assistance | Just The News

Rutte, who spoke with Trump at the World Economic Forum last week, told European lawmakers in Brussels that they would need to double their expected economic spending on defense if they hoped to defend themselves without the U.S. - Misty Severi

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned the European Union Monday that the alliance would not be able to defend itself without the United States' "nuclear umbrella" and military assistance...

“If anyone thinks here … that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the U.S., keep on dreaming. You can’t,” Rutte said, according to the Associated Press. “If you really want to go it alone, forget that you can ever get there with 5%. It will be 10%...

'Unacceptable': Feds find university 'caused significant harm' to female athletes with its trans agenda * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Unacceptable': Feds find university 'caused significant harm' to female athletes with its trans agenda * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The federal government has investigated and concluded that San Jose State University "caused significant harm to female athletes" by pursuing a transgender agenda in its athletics.

A report from the Department of Education finds that the problem was the school's faulty decision to be "allowing a male [Blaire Fleming] to compete on the women's volleyball team – creating unfairness in competition, compromising safety, and denying women equal opportunities in athletics, including scholarships and playing time."

Everyone's Had Enough

If you’ve been paying attention to public discourse lately, you’ve probably noticed something strange.

America is routinely described as a fascist state.  - Michael Smith

• Trump supporters are casually labeled Nazis.
• Immigration enforcement is compared to Kristallnacht. 
• Border detention facilities are called concentration camps....

These claims are no longer confined to fringe voices...
So why do people keep saying things that are so obviously false?

• The short answer is simple: exaggeration works. 
• The longer answer is more troubling...

Dita Sullivan - To argue that America isn’t fascist is to miss the point - it’s as ridiculous as arguing that Americans aren’t Martians.
The use of “fascist” as a pejorative was invented by the communists in the 1930s to discredit anyone who opposed them. 

It has no other meaning today.

WATCH: New bombshell video possibly shows Alex Pretti attacking ICE agents and their vehicle in a previous confrontation * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff: 

Reporter Julie Kelly posted on X about the video, saying, "This appears to be the incident that resulted in Pretti's broken rib. BBC also reports he appeared to be carrying a firearm during this confrontation as well. Not a protester, not an observer."

Cuz it was Barry!

 

Ileana Johnson - They Lied: 15-Minute Cities...

15-Minute Cities approved across the UK - make no mistake - Ileana Johnson

• ...15-Minute Cities are really future 15-Minute PRISONS. 

The people of UK are the canary in the coal mine.
But the UK is not the only country creating these 15-Minute Prisons. 

• They are also being set up in the US.

In the state of TN they are already creating 15-Minute Prisons in 2 cities (Chattanooga and Spring Hill).

David W. Callis - What are 15 minute cities?
Ileana Johnson - A 15-minute city is an urban planning concept where residents can access essential daily needs—work, housing, food, health, education, and culture—within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their home. 

Designed to reduce car dependency, lower emissions, and improve quality of life, it promotes dense, mixed-use, and sustainable, walkable neighborhoods. 

You are only allowed to enter and exit through one gate and after 100 free exits and enters, you have to pay a fine for each exit and entry. 

Thus they control everything about you, including mobility and travel. 
(Part of UN Agenda 2030)

Show to your brainwashed friends!

 

I have read of some university professors who said that it is common now that incoming first-year students have never read even one book in their entire lives.

A chapter or two here or there, now and then, yes, but not even one single book in entirety. - Donald Sensing

• And so this.

Kevin Bakerr

For later perusal. The opening paragraph:

"Functional illiteracy was once a social diagnosis, not an academic one. It referred to those who could technically read but could not follow an argument, sustain attention, or extract meaning from a text. It was never a term one expected to hear applied to universities. And yet it has begun to surface with increasing regularity in conversations among faculty themselves. Literature professors now admit—quietly in offices, more openly in essays—that many students cannot manage the kind of reading their disciplines presuppose. They can recognise words; they cannot inhabit a text."

'He is no victim': Sister of man shot by Border Patrol in Arizona tells anti-ICE protesters to stop defending him | Blaze Media: 

The man was later identified as 34-year-old Patrick Gary Schlegel. Police said he had an active warrant for human trafficking when he was stopped and that two men rushed out of his truck after he drove away. He eventually ran out of the truck and fired gunshots in the direction of a police helicopter pursuing him, which led to his getting shot and being injured in the leg and head.
