The US Had a 7 million dollar bounty on his head:

"Sources told CNN that senior Hezbollah military figure Ibrahim Aqil was the target of Israel’s strike on southern Beirut that leveled a building, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens of others."

"Last year, to mark the 40th anniversary of Hezbollah’s bombing of the US Embassy in Beirut in 1983, the US State Department announced a reward of up to $7 million for information on Aqil, a key leader of the militant group."

"The US has accused Aqil of involvement in the 1983 embassy strike, which killed 63 people, as well as the Hezbollah bombing of the Beirut Marine barracks, which killed 241 US personnel later that year."

"Rewards for Justice, a State Department body that offers rewards for information on terrorists, claims Aqil serves on the Jihad Council, Hezbollah’s highest military body."

"In the 1980s, he was a member of Islamic Jihad, the militant group that claimed the two 1983 attacks."

This is impressive to you of course. 

Those who aren't unhinged TDS filled loons really couldn't care less one way or the other.  

P.S. All of the 51 liars who lied about the Hunter Biden Laptop saying it was a Russian Disinformation Campaign also were part of the group above, that group that gives you a tingle up your leg and into your groin area

"There are Thousands of National Security officials who are supporting Trump"

Hmm, I did a google search and could find five, not sure if they're "Q" supporters like  the former General Flynn of the Trump administration but that said, I don't believe you know who said what about your HS Hunter Biden laptop nonsense but that's the crazy-ass diversion we'd all expect from the likes of you...

As we can see, Richie's BS that there are "literally thousands of national security officials" endorsing Trump is the total HS that we knew it to be...

I bet we all can't wait to have "Q" adherent general Flynn back into the WH under another Trump administration which is something Trump promised to do.

Still waiting for the screamer to tell us who the "literally thousands of national security officials" that endorse Trump happen to be....

"More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trump’s “scary authoritarian streak.”

“Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. She’s prepared. She’s strategic. She’s understands all sides of an issue,” retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael Smith told The Hill. “We saw as much during the debate.”

“As we’ve seen for nearly a decade, however, former President Trump has none of those qualities, and he has a scary authoritarian streak,” Smith, who is also the president of National Security Leaders for America, added."

"The letter endorsing Harris consists of 741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers. Among those 741 officials are 15 four-star generals, 10 former Cabinet secretaries and 10 service secretaries as well as leaders who served in Republican administrations."

"Mark Cuban rips Trump threat to hit John Deere with massive tariffs: ‘Insane’"

Geez, even the Republicans are fed up with Trump's tariff dreams:

"McConnell slaps at Trump’s tariff proposals, warns of higher prices"

“I’m not a fan of tariffs. They raise the prices for American consumers. I’m more of a free-trade kind of Republican that remembers how many jobs are created by the exports that we engage in. So, I’m not a tariff fan,” McConnell told reporters when asked he’s concerned about the potential economic impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs."

Trump, for his part, retorted, "The word ‘tariff,’ when properly used, is a beautiful word,” Trump argued. “One of the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard. It’s music to my ears."

Can't wait to pay higher prices under Trump's ridiculous tariff plans, how about you?....

"Former President Trump warned John Deere that it could face massive tariffs if he returns to the Oval Office next year, after the Illinois-based company announced plans to outsource some of its manufacturing to Mexico."

"But as you know, they’ve announced a few days ago that they’re going to move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico,” he continued. “I’m just notifying John Deere right now, if you do that, we’re putting a 200 percent tariff on everything you want to sell into the United States, so that if I win John Deere is going to be paying a 200 percent [tariff] — they haven’t started it yet. Maybe they haven’t even made the final decision yet. But I think they have.”

"Meanwhile, some experts have warned that tariffs would lead to an increase in inflation, with companies passing on additional costs to consumers — an idea rejected by Trump on Monday."

"...experts have warned that tariffs would lead to an increase in inflation, with companies passing on additional costs to consumers — an idea rejected by Trump on Monday."

Whom to believe?...

"Over the past three years, a wave of new data — and lawsuits — have made the case that the outages were, in fact, a result of market manipulation by some of Texas’s biggest fossil fuel companies."

"On Monday, Houston-based pipeline analytics company CirclesX and representatives of major energy companies fought the first skirmish in that campaign in a Harris County courthouse."

"Those companies, plaintiff’s lawyer Andrew Gould argued on Monday, “diverted natural gas before winter, to create artificial scarcity — thus driving up the price.”


"For decades, Texas’s major pipeline companies have covertly squeezed gas supplies before cold snaps and hurricanes."

Hmm, with ultraconservatives running the courts in Texas, I wonder how this one is gonna turnout...

"Even though polls indicate a close race between Trump and Harris, a straw poll of business leaders convened last week by Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld found the overwhelming majority (80%) expect Harris will win. That’s despite the fact that only about one-third of those CEOs identify as Democrats."

Hmm, we'll see if these execs are correct but I'm still skeptical...
