@TRobinsonNewEra You’re wrong, Tommy. Mohammad had nine wives at the same time. Thirteen in total, I believe. He also killed a 17 year old bride’s husband, father, and brother, then “married” her. She was Jewish. — Firas Modad (@modadGeoP) Oct 3, 2025 from http://twitter.com/modadGeoP via IFTTT

@CNviolations ‘Taken against your will’ after sailing into their territory uninvited and unwelcome – again. Funny how that happens. I have a great idea.

Bet she stops traveling on her unending quest for fame if it’s not reported. — Proud_Mom_3 (@Proud_mom_3) Oct 2, 2025 from http://twitter.com/Proud_mom_3 …
