In yet another display of utter subservience to the Jewish state of Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Brazil yesterday to reassure his Zionist masters that the U.S. was still committed to Israel’s security and protection, despite President Trump’s vague decision to withdrawn U.S. military forces from Syria.

Following the meeting, an Israeli official boasted that his country got “almost everything it wanted” out of Pompeo, once again demonstrating that the U.S. government, by and large, places the interests of Jews and the Jewish state of Israel ahead of Americans, especially in the realm of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.  Continue reading “Israel Brags That It Received “Almost Everything It Wanted” In Meeting With Pompeo”

Yet again, a cop has invoked a law intended to shield the privacy of crime victims to keep his name from being released after he killed a suspect.

According to police reports, Lorenzen led deputies on a chase and allegedly shot at them.
