The only reason I'm linking this article...

...is because the guy's last name would make a great descriptive term about what happens when a suicide bomber hits the switch: "Ramtin Arablouei, 43, who has been at NPR since 2015 and co-hosted 'Throughline' alongside Rund Abdelfatah, left the broadcaster after a female employee on the show filed a complaint in March."

Of course, this bozo is Iranian and not a terrorist, but the word itself is perfect for most suicide bombers ("Yeah, Abdullah was wearing the vest and tripped over his own feet and went Arablouie! all over the parking lot").

We can thank Trump for this, too

He has helped galvanize the base into active opposition to the RINO establishment: "RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy Loses Historic Senate Primary Race".

I understand that the treacherous Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky is a likely loser in his primary, too.

It looks like conservatives are gradually learning how to deal with the lesser of two evils scam ("Hey, we've got to nominate Porter McPorkelson and Gary Go-Along because they're electable, and at least they're not quite as bad as their Democrat opponents - usually").

Yeah, I think we kinda don't want that going on

Wow. I had read something about this before, but here are some more details: "Man Convicted of Running Chinese Police Station in Manhattan's Chinatown".

“A police station operating in New York City at the direction of the Chinese government has been exposed, its sinister purpose disrupted, and its founder held accountable for blatantly disregarding the law and our country’s sovereignty,” stated United States Attorney Nocella. “Our Office remains resolute in protecting the rights of people seeking freedom from repression and speaking out to bring democracy, reform, and human rights to China.”

With Mamdani in the mayor's office, New York doesn't need any more commies.
