our good buddy don, says that the war is over, again. wish he'd make up what ever mind is involved here; 

 

President Donald Trump told Congress on Friday that any effort to use the War Powers Act to rein in the strikes against Iran is irrelevant because he has declared that the conflict is over.

The 1973 War Powers Resolution says that a president is supposed to seek congressional authorization for a war if the conflict lasts longer than 60 days, according to NBC News.

The U.S. attacked Iran on Feb. 28. Trump notified Congress on March 2, which started the 60-day time period.

On Friday, Trump formally told Congress he does not need to submit anything for approval.

“On April 7, 2026, I ordered a two-week ceasefire. The ceasefire has since been extended. There has been no exchange of fire between the United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated,” Trump wrote in documents sent to the House and Senate.

Trump did not answer whether there would be a phase two.

“Despite the success of United States operations against the Iranian regime and continued efforts to secure a lasting peace, the threat posed by Iran to the United States and our Armed Forces remains significant,” Trump wrote.

“I have and will continue to direct United States Armed Forces consistent with my responsibilities and pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct United States foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive,” he continued............more..........

 when down to it, this is all you have;

 

 Respect falls like dust in the wind. Trust shatters like glass under pressure.

But loyalty… is forged in fire—and given only once.

It is not a word for the faint of heart. Not a bargain, not a game, not an empty promise. It is an oath that lasts—or abandons you forever.

The ancient Germanic tribes knew this. For them, loyalty was not a feeling, but a law of blood and honor. A warrior stood by his tribe, by his word, by those who fought beside him—until their last breath bore his name.

Whoever broke this bond lost everything: their place, their honor, their heritage. Death was not the greatest punishment—but being forgotten was.

And today?

Too many speak of loyalty without bearing its weight. Too many demand it without having the courage to live it themselves.

So listen carefully: If you ask for my loyalty, then step forward—with your own in return. Because loyalty isn’t given because you want it. It’s earned… or you’ll go away empty-handed.

As on an old battlefield, it still holds true: Only those who are willing to fall with you will stand by your side..........https://appalachianrenegade.com/2026/05/01/loyalty/

 most probably this is because it was a nun because this sort of israeli crap is more than frequent; 

 

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – A video circulating online has documented a violent assault by a settler on a Christian nun in occupied Jerusalem, triggering widespread anger and condemnation.

The nun was injured in the attack, sustaining facial wounds after being assaulted by an extremist settler in the city.

In response, the French Consulate in Jerusalem strongly condemned the incident, calling for the perpetrator to be held accountable. In a statement posted on X, the consulate expressed its wishes for the nun’s speedy recovery and stressed the need to bring the attacker to justice.

The statement came in reaction to remarks by Olivier-Thomas Venard, director of the French Biblical and Archaeological School in Jerusalem, who denounced what he described as an “unprovoked assault.”

Speaking to Agence France-Presse, Venard said the 48-year-old nun, who works as a researcher at the French institution and prefers to remain anonymous, was attacked when an individual forcefully pushed her from behind into a rock, then proceeded to kick her while she was on the ground. …..........more.............

 what is this foolishness? we know that britain is the home of freedom of speech. starmer told us so when meeting with the trump; 

Laws aimed at pro-Palestine protests should always be looked at as efforts to ban criticism of Israel. That’s what we’re seeing in the UK as the prime minister encourages the prosecution of anyone who says “globalise the intifada”.

“If you stand alongside people who say globalise the intifada, you are calling for terrorism against Jews and people who use that phrase should be prosecuted,” said Keir Starmer during a Thursday press conference. “It is racism, extremely racism and it has left a minority community in this country scared, intimidated, wondering if they belong. So, I say again this government will do everything in our power to stamp this hatred out.”

The UK has already banned any expression of support for the activist group Palestine Action, and recently passed a ban on repeat protests, and has already arrested demonstrators for using of the word “intifada” in their pro-Palestine activism on the basis of “racially aggravated public order offences.” And now the prime minister wants them all to be prosecuted with increased aggression.

This is all a thinly-disguised effort to throw a chilling effect over the entire pro-Palestine protest movement. The goal is to just keep adding more and more protest laws until nobody’s willing to attend a pro-Palestine demonstration without a lawyer present to advise them on exactly what they may and may not say if they want to avoid being sent to prison...........more..........
