🤡🇺🇸 Councilman Biden? POTUS Deals With The Small Stuff

While the world is embroiled in 2 US-fuelled wars, and the US suffers a debt and border crisis, Biden brags about ... fire trucks.

"After the Philly Fairmount fire, I told city officials I would do everything I could to bring Ladder 1 back into service.

As of this week, the neighborhood once again has a ladder company on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep them safe.

I kept my promise," he wrote on X.

Anybody still think this guy is in charge?

❗️EU Leaders Consider Stripping Orban’s Hungary of Voting Rights – FT

Some bloc officials have considered reactivating the so-called Article 7 punishment procedure for rule of law breaches, which can result in the suspension of voting rights, according to the Financial Times.

The move could arise in order for the EU to conclude an agreement on the allocation of funds to Ukraine.

Poland’s recent change to a pro-EU govt reportedly means Hungary no longer has a guaranteed protector should another member state propose the blocking.

"Unarmed civilians are the objects of bombings and shootings. And this happened even inside the Holy Family parish complex, where there are no terrorists, but families, children, people who are sick or disabled, nuns."

"Some would say 'It is war. It is terrorism.' Yes, it is war. It is terrorism," Francis added.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry spox said the incident was still under review and had no immediate comment on the pope's words.
