Meanwhile, the Houthi's have apparently bombed Palestina with a ballistic missile. They were probably 'aiming' for Israel (as far as they have the technology to actually aim, which seems unlikely if everything of the past hours is any indication), but hit a Palestine town.

Two state politicians in Minnesota, state senator John Hoffman and state house minority leader Melissa Hortman, along with their spouses, have been shot by an attacker disguised as a police officer. Hortman and her husband are both dead.

 

The assassination is believed to be politically motivated.

The left eats their own, becoming more and more unhinged by the day

Given the leading theory on his motive is opposition to abortion (per the NY Post, not exactly a lefty source) I seriously doubt he’s on the left.

He had in his car the no kings bs poster.    Plus she was the only one who voted against giving healthcare to illegals.    Something left crazies love to demand.   Its safe to assume he was a democrat that didnt appreciate that she didn't get in line.   Plus he was appointed to a position in the Minnesota government by inflatable arm tube man Tim Walz.   Will he appoint anyone that doesnt fit the bill of a democrat?

"Make Middle East Great Again!"

 

Now, I am sure I don't have to point to the person who said this.

 

But, still a question arises.

 

When was the Middle East Great? In times of Herod the Great? Or was it with Cyrus the Great?

 

Cause I'm pretty sure that moment couldn't have been that fatidic day of October 10th in Karbala.

      Volleyball Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028

      There are things I find pathetic, but saying a competition is unnecessary right after you don't qualify for it is the typical display of a loser. Pietro Maschio, when Conegliano qualifies for the Club World Cup next time, should refuse to participate like the Polish clubs do and stop spouting nonsense.

      Never wanted something to be more wrong then I did now... synchronized skating and no ice cross    And of course we'll probably win the gold medal in it because it's a sport that I hate, the same thing happened with "breaking" aka breakdancing in 2024.

      No surprise — it’s the result of months of controversy, including media backlash. It all started with the federation’s decision not to select Romei, who is very close to Costantini, for the Olympic Games, and to call up Rebecca Mariani instead. In recent months, the Romeo/Costantini duo allegedly tried to push out Lo Deserto as well, and these are the results…

      I think it's still too early to start alarming, especially in matches that make little difference for China.    But... will another president of the Chinese federation resign?

      The decline in dominance of the Chinese men is obvious when looking at the brackets in the major tournaments...the women, of course, are another story.   (LSD and WCQ are amazing, don't get me wrong....but the other men have really risen to the occasion.)
