Somaliland: Why has Israel recognised the breakaway African state as independent?

Somaliland wants international recognition - here's why, and what could have driven Israel to recognise it now.

Tim Walz lashing out over Minnesota scandal, and blaming white supremacy.
A white fraud blaming white supremacy.
We sure dodged a bullet in the fraud duo of Harris/Walz.

But hey......Orange man bad.

 

[mdwest]

I think we can all agree that Waltz is not only a train wreck of a leader, but also something of a shit stain as a human..

I remain incredibly grateful for him…

Had the California Hyena selected Josh Shapiro or some other more sensible D as her running mate, we might have her sitting behind the Resolute Desk right now…

I pray that D’s continue to put absolute assclowns into offices in states that are firmly and deeply blue.. that’s the best insurance against another state going purple and the next D POTUS

Maybe it's me? I find it easier to believe it was Russia, trying to manufacture reasons to avoid peace. Why? Because it was unsuccessful, and Ukraine has been pretty good with the whole drone strike stuff.

Yup...quite sure Russia has been doing plenty of that shit all along

Walz is running for his 3rd term as Gov in 2026.

How much does anyone want to bet that MN re-elects him?

voters never cease to amaze me..

I understand when an occasional turd shows up in the punch bowl.. I had high hopes for Dan Crenshaw for example when he was first elected.. today, I'd rather have a 9 week old mold covered donut representing TX in the house.. I find him not only to be a terrible representative, but a pretty piss poor human as well..

What I dont understand is once these people reveal to the American public who they really are, why we the people insist on keeping them in office..

Well played Dave. I spit coffee upon reading that.

Not going to happen......pushing Ukraine into a corner.....more than deja Vue....more like monotonous bullshit from Russia....fk me....

The 'thorny' issues that threaten to derail a Russia-Ukraine peace deal

Two of the main sticking points involve territory and the fate of Europe's biggest nuclear plant, which is currently occupied by Russia.

One of my favorite movies of all time is Jeremiah Johnson. I bet I have seen it 20 times.

This cycle with Russia and seeking peace feels like it has played out more than that. With regards to Putin, I wish The Donald would call a spade a spade... but have zero hopes it will ever happen.

Whenever one reads that the Russian air defences were successful one knows it is fake news

NY has the government it deserves.. Houchel, AOC, Mamdani, Schumer, etc…

If the new mayor wants to double down on DEI, social welfare, sanctuary city, and all the other nonsense that has crippled cities all over the country… I’m all for it.. let the city and the state suffer the consequences of their decision…

My only bitch is that federal tax dollars get spent there and that too many New Yorkers flee the crap hole they have created and then try to drag their failed policies and programs with them to wherever they relocate..

If that clown was what you wanted.. stick around and enjoy your circus.. don’t drive your VW beetle stuffed full of court jesters down here for me to have to deal with…

It's a double whammy. They relocate.....and breed.

NY, NJ, MD & DE account for 80% or so of our border here in PA. It’s amazing we’ve remained to stay even a purple state as long as we have, particularly after the mass Covid influx. Consider yourself fortunate to have a couple thousand miles of conservative buffer between you and those Marxist jesters.

I have to hand it to PA.. if youre going to go purple.. at least have a modicum of sense in who youre going to put into office..

while I dont agree with much of anything that Shapiro stands for.. at least he has some freaking common sense and appears to genuinely care about his constituents.. and while I disagree with Fetterman on most everything as well.. he's actually been a pleasant surprise.. not because he is a right winger by any stretch of the imagination.. but because he at least appears to be a decent human being that simply thinks differently than I do about a lot of things.. (I sorta like hoodies too.. so I dont take him to task on his wardrobe either )...

I think if I lived in Philly, I'd be losing my mind with the mass migration of new yorkers bringing their jackassery to my state..

living on the outskirts of Dallas is bad enough with all of the Californians and Coloradans that keep coming to TX.. but at least the majority of them seem to gravitate closer to Austin... while theyre impacting state politics, theyre at least not bringing their individual social values (or lack thereof) into our neighborhoods up here (yet)..

Although the open borders got us pretty hard.. there is a very obvious and noticible difference in the local high school for example... not just in how people look.. but in how they behave (which is what is important to me)..

 

[Brent in Az]

I'm 50/50 on Fetterman. Ironically, he sometimes seems to be a voice of reason within a political party that seems to have gone batshit crazy.
