An American aviator is missing tonight inside a country Donald Trump told you was finished two days ago.

On Wednesday, the president addressed the nation in primetime, declared Iran "completely decimated," and called America's military "unstoppable." On Friday, Iran shot down an F-15E Strike Eagle over its territory and a second attack aircraft near the Strait of Hormuz. Two rescue helicopters took fire during the search. Iran struck four American aircraft in a single day, the first shot down by enemy fire in 23 years. Special forces rescued one crew member on Iranian soil, but the other is still out there tonight, with an Iranian governor offering a bounty and civilians searching on foot.

A Wall Street Journal exclusive revealed today that last month's drone strike on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh was far worse than anyone admitted. Two drones evaded the Patriot batteries and destroyed three floors of the embassy, including the CIA station. Officials now say it would have been a mass casualty event during working hours. They hid it for a month, the same month the president spent telling you the war was essentially over. Call your representatives through Resistbot and 5 Calls and demand congressional hearings on what this administration is hiding about the real cost of this war.

A couple of internet problems overnight delayed this. Thanks for your concern!

#3 this is what happens when the keywords these 20 year old are looking for are "tribe" and "Indian". Automatically labeled DEI.
FUCKIN ASSHOLES!

#16 is hilarious because it shows that even Christians hate other Christians. #17 is just a gross dereliction of duty and favoritism of one religious group over another. Spits in the face of the idea of the separation of church and state.

brainkandle1

#12 is that the 10 billion he was going to sue the IRS for!

1stDrunkJoe

Thanks George.

#18 It IS disgusting - that we had pilots in harms way just to distract from the Trump-Epstein Files! There was no other cause. Oh, except to obey their paymaster's [Zionist Israel] orders.

grandestgrandeur

The only consistent thing I see here, other than the bigoted stupidity, is Trump is asking for TRILLIONS, whilst looking at the horrible facts that American's cannot afford homes, gas, food and everything else and going "tough shit" and then eagerly tapping his open palm, demanding we pay HIM for all the terrible things he wants to do.

Congrats Magats, you voted for this and I hope it follows you for the rest of your miserable days.

#7 -"Nobody gets to spy on our people but us!" /s but not really.

If anyone needs to scream into the void, my inbox is open.

I visited Alcatraz in 1994. I think it would cost a lot more than $152 million to make it functional again.

Thank you for all you do to inform us. That being said.

bertchstudio

Hope in one hand and give money to Indigenous and Black initiatives with the other

DidCatchABreak

Thank you, George

You're welcome. Thanks for being here and have an amazing Sunday.

CookieMonstersCrumbs

Glad to see you're ok. If you observe this religious weekend, hope you manage to have a decent one.

Will do, and thanks!

Thank you George! Hope you are doing well!

#17. Anyone that thinks he won’t eventually come for you and your group, whatever that may be: Can you see the writing on the wall yet? Now you have to be a certain type of christian? How much is too much before the gop turns on him and impeaches his rotten ass? Then charge every last one of these ghouls.

CommanderMarg

The irony of #16 and #17 is what gets me.

PuzzledCompletely

Proud to be the wrong kind of Christian for his crowd.

McMasterx

It astounds me they're taking such a hard anti-Catholic approach so early when Vance, a proud Catholic, is the Vice President.

Somehow, George being a few hours late felt like maybe, just maybe, there wasn't any terrible news to report. But no, oh no. Of fuck no. Oh the damnation.

I was dreading a 6 page post. Sadly though, this one about the same.

I was worried he'd been banned. I was also worried because I didn't get the email when it usually happens, then I realized it was a holiday weekend for most people.

philmoregraves

#18 everyone could bet on him turning up dead, and then he emerges completely crippled and eventually returned to the US. He could speak out about how disgusted he is by americans bettering that he would die, and iran made money by keeping him alive, and still not a single thing would change. The entite country is riddled with cancer that is hand delivered by our system bought and paid for by rich ppl that control the media and politicians

VanniCarlisle

As a catholic- Fuck all catholics who voted for Trump. Welcome to the FAFO-Era. U deserve every piece of Shit they will throw at u.

Hi there - can you tell more about this? Is it from a website or an email or something else?

Well, I never purported to be a journalist. This is a private clipping service I've run for others for the past 15 months. No one has ever paid a penny except me in terms of online structure. I spend about 4-5 hours a day doing this.

I just wanted to read some of the summaries. I thought they were well done. Still not sure what caused your reaction, or honestly, what it means. I'll be charitable and think that you don't understand how much of a jerk your comment makes you out to be.

thepopeof2nd

Thank you for what you do!!

You're very welcome. I appreciate you being here!

yourbassist

So is he even going to bother to clarify if this is the ballroom that was "privately" funded

If you don't understand the significance of them reopening Alcatraz -
You should understand that it's a direct act of terrorism and activating genetic memory through genocide, against me an Indigenous trans person that hurt their fee fees and maybe their bottom line a little more than anyone was supposed to be able to.

Drennnn

Not attacking you but what do you mean by "activating genetic memory through genocide" ??? I've never seen those words in that order

cyno01

Only the buzziest of buzzwords. Its all stolen land, but AFAIK the island the former prison is located on was never particularly sacred or anything, it would be a stupid waste of money to try and reopen it as a prison, but unless Trump has said he wants to reopen it specifically to house trans people or something im missing the particular aggrievance here. Happy to be informed tho.

DireWolf505

Thanks for all you do, keep 'em flyin'!

ImmatellallyallboutFightClub

Thanks for the daily updates and reminders to use the tools provided to express our collective anger.

Melted cat as thanks. You're a real one, OP.

It feels like yelling at a cloud or spitting in the wind or some other cliché, but in the first year of Trump's admin, MTG, Bondi, and Noem are all gone. Now for the men...

That's a good point! I'm jaded and saw the glass cliff coming, but it's still a victory. Rescrambling leadership willy nilly is always a bad idea, and even moreso during war time. Now Congress has to get sick of being sycophantic so we can finally get some progress made.

100% agree.

FirefighterCaboose

#9 is just so mindnumbingly stupid.

Or, we just make one cell functional, put FOTUS in it, and it can still be a tourist destination.

The reason is worse/even more petty

I'm LANDBACK Indigenous and trans and pissing them off by being more powerful, because these stupid idiots forget the media over inflates their ego, none of that is real lol

So they're trying to hurt our feelings and threaten us at the same time because that's what we've done to them
Because I'm ALSO white enough to act like a fucking nazi if they're gonna make me.

Lol fuck them every which way possible

lostlittletimeonthis

Is it just for me or do the links never take you to the correct # either?

StellarJay77

#2 for example should jump you to the second image in this set.

The numbers in the comment section get hyper linked by Imgur as a convenience to jump to that image number in a grouping of images (eg. A meme dump). It has nothing to do with the numbers listed in the image itself. That's just Imgur adding the href formatting when you type #.

The # doesn't know about George's numbers. But the links should go to the articles. (Except maybe the war one, you might have to scroll and search on the page for the part he references.) Are you not able to get to the articles from the links he posts?

That was it, I was misreading the link as the number on the image so it never matched up, obviously the links at the bottom make more sense

Hey, I read that and was on your side, thinking "Great, what'd I mess up now?"

Glad smarter minds than mine commented.

Just my dumb mind not paying attention...too used to normal image linking
