More lies from the Liar in Chief
As the Supreme Court prepared to hear arguments Thursday on whether to allow President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship to take effect, he falsely claimed on Truth Social that the United States is the only country that offers such a right.
Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 20, the first day of his second term, that would deny citizenship to children who are born to people who are living in the U.S. illegally or temporarily. It has been put on nationwide holds by lower court orders.
The administration is now appealing, on an emergency basis, the authority of individual judges to issue these rulings, known as nationwide, or universal, injunctions. The constitutionality of the executive order itself is not yet before the court.
Here’s a closer look at the facts.
TRUMP, discussing birthright citizenship in a Truth Social post: “The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows.”
THE FACTS: This is not true. About 30 countries, including the U.S., offer unconditional birthright citizenship, according to the CIA World Factbook and the Library of Congress. Birthright citizenship was enshrined in the Constitution after the Civil War to ensure that formerly enslaved people would be citizens.

Well-- Trump bombed 3 sites in Iran....
I had a feeling that the 'I'll give a decision in 2 weeks' thing was just a ploy. That's what I would have done.
The White House X account repeated that message...
Let's hope that Russia stays out, maybe the wait was the Ukraine/Russia war...

Send the planes back for a repeat performance. Looks like the the Russian defense on the nuclear sites failed.

Great job by our military.
That said, Trump wasn't "dragged into" this war. He and Bibi knowingly manufactured it, through fake negotiations by his fake diplomat Witkoff, designed to give Israel the pretext for launching the war, which he officially joined 9 days later. I just wonder what Israel has in store for us next
