...a type of bet, especially on horse races, in which the bettor, in order to win, must select the first- and second-place finishers without specifying their order of finishing.

I was not aware of this word.

Yikes, I was trying to remember exactly what it was, I used to sell bets at a small horse track, for a couple seasons, when I was in college. I don't go to the races,obviously.

Especially the last two minutes before the bell, people yell bets at you as they run up to place a couple more!

And that damn bell!

It was fun except the tips were awful.

And that it would "carefully examine" the warrants.

You only have to look at how Germany treated Gaza protesters to understand what all that means.

But as a strong supporter of the ICC, Germany is in a pickle. Regardless, I wouldn't count out even a state visit.

BRAVO IRAN!


As far as I'm concerned, if two of the worst governments in the world
want to assassinate each other's leaders--- let them have at it!

No great loss for either nation--- or the world.

…which has never happened before. There have been some somewhat-incongruous “proof of life” videos posted, but there’s some question of whether they’re AI-generated or even using a double.

The rumors are that he was killed or seriously injured in an Iranian drone attack on his residence in the early days of the war.

It’s also possible that, after Israel killed the Ayatollah, and Iran responded with the aforementioned drone attack (which pointed out the inadequacy of Israel’s air defenses against that particular type of attack), Netanyahu is laying low, popping up in odd videos to prove he’s still alive, but avoiding official functions were he would be expected to appear, lest Iran use that knowledge to target him again.

The YouTubers who commented seem to think this is an AI generated image and noted the odd way his hand went into his pocket as well as the foam on his coffee not moving.

Who knows?!?

The same goes for when tRump drops dead. How will we know for sure? They can cover it up for days until team tRump decides on how to tell the US public and how they will distort what really happens/happened.

How will we know what to believe? Obviously the MAGATs in charge will do anything and everything to hide the truth, which is really their only skill in life...LYING!!! Lying for $$$$$$ to be more accurate.

tRump could be dead for a few days or longer before we even find out about it.
