Disinformation????
We know adolf Netanyahu threatened him (and Clinton) with the Epstein files, but he didn't say that in the clip.
What a white person's response. Does this person know of the Port Chicago Mutiny?
Minnesota is consistently a so-called donor state, meaning its federal tax contribution exceeds the amount it receives in federal funding. The federal government collected about $119 billion in tax revenue from Minnesota residents and businesses in 2023.

is the US being balkanized now?
While not undergoing a formal, violent breakup, the U.S. is experiencing functional "balkanization" characterized by extreme political polarization, deepening cultural divisions, and states operating as distinct, often antagonistic, regional blocs. This trend, often termed "soft secession," involves states taking control of policy areas formerly managed by the federal government and resisting national laws.
Key Indicators of U.S. Balkanization:
- Regional Blocs: The U.S. acts as a federation of distinct regional cultures (or "nations") with, at times, irreconcilable differences in laws, values, and political systems.
- Political Polarization: The collapse of ideological middle ground has created a situation where red and blue states are increasingly hostile to one another.
- Institutional Breakdown: Constitutional interpretation has become partisan, with federal court orders sometimes viewed as suggestions rather than binding law.
- Alternative Governance: States are building their own policy frameworks on issues like reproductive rights, gun control, and environmental regulation, resulting in "brutally different legal regimes" based on residency.

The thing is though one doesn't have to be into politics or even watch the news. People being stuck on the islands (and other things) because the air space was on lock down was all over social media. People have to become self aware of the world that surrounds them. One thing I don't do is play around when it comes to international travel.
