The United States and Israel are waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals?

Los Titulares de Hoy - 17 de junio de 2025

"Hell No, We Won't Go" is a bold and defiant protest anthem that captures Canada's unwavering stance against joining the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump. Drawing inspiration from classic protest chants, the song channels the spirit of resistance and national pride, echoing the voices of Canadians who refuse to be swayed by external political pressure or annexation rhetoric

Hell No We Won't Go

Lyrics:
ayo i hit that bitch with a tongue twister (ayo i hit that)
i turned my sister into a mister
ayo i went insane
fucked up in the brain
call up my homie his name is brian
that don't rhyme with brain
shoot him in the brain
ayo no one figured out that im gay
i just hit a lick, bullets gon' spray
ay i like sucking dick (*pukes cutely*)
ayo if my bitch don't like anal i aint gonna take her
ayo if my man don't like anal i aint gonna take him
ayo i aint part of either side like a they/them
ayo this beat makin me say asalamalekun
ayo the national guard wont stop me from taking the condom off
ayo the marines wont stop me from cumming
ayo the IRS wont stop me from jerking off
the president won't stop me from kissing men
i pray for yall like amen
dont make me bring out eminem
(*eminem proceeds to spit absolute fire but its too quick for the human mind to process*)
ayo i break out in hives every time i see a gay
all my homies gay
how can you be talking about gay rights when you don't know what an asexual is?
living off section 8 housing off a tuna can
i love gay people more than you do thats why i fuck so many of them
if you wear a furry tail and have an unhealthy obsession with steven universe hit me up
i get freaky like 2 girls 1 cup
i get freaky like rule 34
i think it was abraham lincoln who said "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal"
im still waiting for the sequel
one time i got so horny i fucked a roll of toilet paper
i went to the barbershop and got me a low taper
one time i used an electric toothbrush and pretended it was incineroar
----------
Samples:
Falling in Reverse - Game Over
My Little Pony theme song
Solrac - My Little Pony: Fim Derp Theme
Eminem - Rap God
IdubbzTV - That one "im gay" soundbyte
Puppyhelic Triangle - i love him (its a YT video btw)
