The US didn’t propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they’ve said they’re working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date.

But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto.

One could argue that it sure looks like they’re trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover.

I’m guessing Israel wasn’t bombing hostages. Although that guess has been wrong a lot.

“Even if Israeli forces had intended to target legitimate military objectives in the vicinity, these attacks evidently failed to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and would therefore be indiscriminate,” Amnesty International said in the report. “Indiscriminate attacks that kill and injure civilians are war crimes.”

Sanction Ben-Gvir

It’s wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it’s “Bidenomics” says the economy’s great, why won’t you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden’s too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden’s had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden’s net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they’re scared of. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

The Florida Democratic Party’s executive committee voted to cancel their primary at the end of October 2023 and declare Biden the winner

The Tennessee Democratic Party decided to list only Biden as a ballot option for its primary after a November 11 meeting

The North Carolina Democratic Party acknowledged receiving requests for ballot access from Phillips and other candidates, but chose to only include Biden for its primary

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin left Phillips off the ballot; he appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on January 26, 2024. The court unanimously ruled on February 2 that Phillips should be included on the ballot.

In each instance, Weiss allegedly fills a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars in merchandise, then scans and pays for a few items to generate a receipt she can show to a store associate as she walks out.

That’s certainly a strange new precedent. I hope Congress gets to work quickly writing legislation for all the other amendments before a president realizes there aren’t laws spelling out how freedom of speech is defined or how to enforce it, etc. etc.

And the 2nd Amendment!

This is the dumbest take I’ve seen yet.

Democrats gave up literally everything before even getting to the negotiating table. They’ve taken the Republicans’ wildest dreams and made it their initial offer. Republicans not accepting it and working them even further past that isn’t some kind of egg on their face moment, let alone a win, let alone, you know, actually helping people in desperate need of it.

It’s wild watching the machinations that liberals go through to be racist while trying to convince people that they’re not. The end result of this is going to be even more draconian than what Democrats are offering, and that’s perfectly OK with many of them.

Is this projection? Why hasn’t Cotton denied being a member of the CCP, is there something he’s hiding? He sure claims to know quite a lot about what’s going on behind the scenes in China, maybe somebody should check this out

Seeing as Ben-Gvir isn’t mentioned at all, I think you already have your answer.

the law doesn’t explain who gets to determine when a country is acting in self-defense

Literally the same exact reasoning Trump used to declare an “emergency” and divert funds to a border wall. Words are meaningless so I can do whatever I want!

This guy sounds real confused. He looked at bat and dog fetuses and thought that those were lifes? How many “lifes” did he terminate during his practice?

It was already a deadly situation. Or are you saying that drowning migrants are more acceptable.

Maybe Musk should work harder on making his own automobiles not the most accident-prone cars on the road.

From 2021 to 2022 looks like a wash to me: around 700 fewer homicides but 700 more suicides (the number you cropped out of the screenshot). And the numbers for 2023 aren’t final yet.

How has the rate of U.S. gun deaths changed over time?

While 2021 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 14.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 – the highest rate since the early 1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.

The gun murder rate in the U.S. remains below its peak level despite rising sharply during the pandemic. There were 6.7 gun murders per 100,000 people in 2021, below the 7.2 recorded in 1974.

The gun suicide rate, on the other hand, is now on par with its historical peak. There were 7.5 gun suicides per 100,000 people in 2021, statistically similar to the 7.7 measured in 1977. (One caveat when considering the 1970s figures: In the CDC’s database, gun murders and gun suicides between 1968 and 1978 are classified as those caused by firearms and explosives. In subsequent years, they are classified as deaths involving firearms only.)

Huh, I’m starting to think that the guy who hung a portrait of a mass shooter in his living room and who was exempted from mandatory IDF service for his far right political background, might not be the good guy here

Call it what it is: terrorist attacks.
