Uh... that Palestinian flag looks like it's being flown upside down... the black bar should be on top, the green bar on the bottom...

So thoughtful statement or idiot college student that didn't know what they were protesting?   Odds are 50/50

This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with harassment. We have time, place, and manner laws for a reason.

So, Joe Biden was on Nantucket and doing some shopping.

While holding a copy of a VIRULENTLY anti-Israel book.

Intention signaling at its best.

Did Biden pick up the book himself, or did one of his handlers pick it out for him?  The author of the article didn't know.
I seriously doubt Biden still has the mental acuity to make subtle political statements of this sort, so my guess is a handler gave it to him.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Gotta be a handler. I don't like the guy, but a lot the stuff he has supposedly been in favor or support of over the last four years is stuff he has never supported before, and even been adamantly against. I think he's just cognitively at a point where he is easily manipulated by whoever is actually running things.

FlightRadar24 is tracking a private jet that just took off from a military airport in Damascus.  The rebels are rapidly approaching that airport and the conjecture is Assad is on that plane.

Seeing posts saying Assad's plane was shot down. Could be wishful thinking on some people's part.
Apparently he is missing

I’m no fan of Assad, but I do wonder if the post-Assad Syria will be any improvement.

Some saying his plane was shot down by the IDF
Some saying he's headed to or already in Russia.

It's the exception, not the rule, when coups make things better for anyone, except the mutineers, and usually that only momentarily.

I guess it depends if you're pro or con CIA. If you're pro CIA, root for whoever they set up there.

Apparently no one seems to know where he is or if they know they're not saying. His only "friends" were Russia and Iran.
Some are saying his plane disappeared off radar leading to the speculation it was shot down

S2 underground just reported Israel has invaded Syria from the south.

Whether they just want a "buffer zone" against the Islamic fundamentalist government that is coming, or if they are going to try and grab significant territory remains to be seen.

From the BBC's live page

"As we reported earlier, strikes have been heard in Damascus in the past few hours and large plumes of black smoke have been seen.

Reuters is citing two regional security sources as saying that Israel has conducted three airstrikes against a major security complex in Damascus's Kafr Sousa district, along with a research centre where Israel previously said Iranian scientists developed missiles.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, says Israel carried out at least three airstrikes on Syria today, including on a research centre near Damascus.

The Israeli military has not commented."

In Moscow

"Assad is in Moscow, Russian state media reports published at 12:56
12:56Breaking

Deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his family have arrived in Moscow, Russian state media agencies report, citing sources in the Kremlin.

Reports also say that Assad and his family have been granted asylum by Russia.

The BBC has not been able to independently verify the information."

The report I saw said Israel occupied the Golan Heights.  That report didn't mention any other territory.  Probably smart of them considering it overlooks their territory.
