    My latest, just out today at @theammind, is about American movies that, IMHO, celebrate the Founding. Everyone's a critic and I am sure that I voice opinions that some might find controversial.

    This is the only entirely Christian village on the West Bank.
    More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Taybeh, Ramallah, in the West Bank, where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.

    A living martyr of the Catholic Church. Simoni was first sentenced to death in 1963, then spent 18 years in a Communist forced labor camp.
    Cardinal Ernest Simoni, 97, hero of the viciously persecuted Albanian Catholic Church, recites the prayer to St Michael:

    Every single one of those names are neutral in Arabic - not sectarian - and can be (and are) held by either Christian or Muslim.

    So @BuzzFeed, CNN and others in the American media played a key role in 2017 in disseminating an explosive dossier whose primary sub-source "might actually be a Russian spy"?
    #Durham BREAKING: The primary sub-source for the Steele dossier was deemed a possible “national security threat” + the subject of 2009 FBI counter-intel probe. According to new records, those facts were known to Crossfire Hurricane team in December 2016. @LindseyGrahamSC

    Wow. He pauses too, because he expects them to laugh (because it is a great line), but it seems that they didn't - European elite probably too stunned at so much truth in one sitting.
    OMG. VP JD VANCE: If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.

    ضد العقوبات على #العراق التي تؤذي الأبرياء. خاصة عندما نتذكر هذا التاريخ المظلم. نحتاج أن نساعد الشعب العراقي النبيل الذي يدافع عن حريته وحقوقه.

    لقد كنت متحدثا رسميا ومسؤولا إعلاميا ودبلوماسيا في العديد من الظروف الصعبة. وعلينا أن أقول كيف أحترم إجابات هذا الوزير السعودي على الأسئلة العدوانية. إنها مهارة مهمة (سواء كنت تتفق معه أم لا).
    سلمولي على "عادل الجبير" 👏🏼👏🏼 ظهور متألق كعادته مع قناة دنماركية أمس خصوصًا بعد قول المذيع أن "السعودية تتوسل لجذب الاستثمارات الخارجية" فأوقفه الوزير فوراً وأعتذر المذيع مباشرةً #ترجمات_عبدالله_الخريّف

    Americans lose their jobs all the time, there are towns with no work, industries shipped overseas. "Learn to code," they said. @60Minutes here is all about class, as in a type that considered themselves permanently entitled, an elite, a bureaucratic ruling class.
    “Twelve days ago, people knew where their next paycheck was coming from. They knew how they were going to pay for their kids' daycare, their medical bills. And then, all gone overnight,” says Kristina Drye, who was fired in the USAID shutdown. cbsn.ws/3CU2X1y

    So #HunterBiden was in business with a now disappeared Chinese tycoon accused of bribing the President of Chad and the Foreign Minister of Uganda? Seems rather significant even though #TwitterCensorship won't let you RT today's article in the @nypost.

    عندما يتعلق الأمر بالشهيد #هشام_الهاشمي من المهم أن نتذكر أن هناك "جيشًا إلكترونيًا" كبيرًا في العراق تحت سيطرة إيران وذيلها الذي ينشر معلومات كاذبة.

    Hegseth to reinstall a memorial whose idea was first encouraged by President William McKinley (who served in the Union Army) and subsequently encouraged or acknowledged by almost all American presidents since its installation in 1914. Maybe it should have been left alone?
    Pete Hegseth’s move to reinstall a Confederate statue is, at worst, a move to show that “he and the Trump administration are making common cause with apologists who believe that the wrong side won the Civil War,” @mikenelson586 argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
