DON’T STOP. MAKE IT A WORSE IDEA.

I guess it was a really bad idea for Hamas to murder and rape a bunch of innocent women. Lesson learned, hopefully.

UPDATE:

In case you were wondering why CNN and Reuters are trying so hard to make it look like the United States is losing this war, look no further than this. There is a consistent trend showing Republicans gaining ground, and the media is growing desperate. https://t.co/uA9goPfGKO

ANOTHER UPDATE:

The Democrat/Media Complex is actively rooting for America's military to fail in Iran.

On its website, opens new tab, Hamilton Lincoln says they sued to hold the activists accountable and ‘prevent further politically-motivated attacks in the future.’ The filing made the novel argument that the motorists were falsely imprisoned in their cars and sought $36 million in damages for thousands of drivers.”

THE WAVE HAS BACKERS. THEY ARE WAGING WAR ON US. THEY SHOULD BE KILLED. The Synagogue Attack Isn’t About ‘Rising Antisemitism.’ It’s Part of a Wave of Anti-American Islamic Terrorism Sweeping the Nation.
