Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

A four-panel webcomic by Mr. Lovenstein.

Panel 1: A small blue character stands before a desk labeled "INSURANCE," saying, "I NEED HEALTHCARE." The white character behind the desk leans forward and replies, "LMAO! YOU SERIOUS?"

Panel 2: The insurance worker points and yells to a colleague standing next to them, "HEY! THIS GUY WANTS HEALTHCARE!" Both workers laugh hysterically, with the second shouting, "AHAHAHA!!"

Panel 3: The blue character wakes up in bed sweating and gasping, shouting "NOOOO!!" Next to him, a green character lying in bed asks, "WHAT'S WRONG, SVEN?"

Panel 4: Against a dark background, the blue character holds his head in distress and says, "I THINK I HAD AN AMERICAN DREAM..."

Watermark and credit text along the borders read "@MRLOVENSTEIN", "COMIC SPONSORED BY MARTIN LINZMAYER", and "THANKS FOR LIKING AND SHARING ♥".

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 25/08/2026

This is an absolutely wild way to talk about LITERAL KITES

Israel must remember the danger carried by Gaza kites, Hamas dictating tempo at border - editorial
Israel has paid far too high a price to relearn this lesson. The kites crossing the border today may contain nothing, but the next ones may not. We should not wait and see.

At least six kites crossed from Gaza into Israel over the past week, with other reports putting the number higher. None of those recovered so far carried explosives, and no Israelis were endangered. The IDF said it believes Palestinian youth, some only 12 or 13 years old, are being used to launch them, likely at the direction of Hamas terrorists.

A border is either defended, or it is not. If Hamas permits organized launch sites to operate, it should understand there will be a price. The IDF should also have clear procedures for detecting, intercepting, and handling anything that crosses from Gaza before residents stumble across it.
