Democrats loyalty to Israel and it is going to hurt them in 2024.
The Zionists are really desperate in quelling the global movement. The movement to end the occupation and Israeli apartheid of Palestine will see fundamental change in American politics. Therefore many of these lawmakers will see a reckoning.
Israel is moving forward with bombing all of Gaza. After telling civilians to leave northern Gaza, they have decided to go into southern Gaza. They are also increasing assaults in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
From theRiver to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! 🇵🇸 🍉
Cry more!
The truce is over and war continues. Israel will still have settlers shoot and run over Palestinians with vehicles. They will continue to shoot Gazans who try to return to the North. They are now shooting and bombing civilians near the Gaza-Sinai border and southern Gaza.
They will continue manipulating the West and Americans with the notion that they were the victims of this ongoing conflict.
Pressure is on and it will be a matter of time before change happens. Israel will be held accountable for its actions and we will see the movement to dissolve the apartheid regime.
AIPAC has tried to convince two candidates to run against Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and were backing with $20 million in campaign contributions.
The phrase above is a rally call for liberation.
But to the operatives, the Anti-Defamation League, American Israel Public Affairs Committee and U.S. lawmakers, it's anti-semitic.
If anyone trolls you about condemning Hamas for Oct. 7, 2023, kindly ignore them or respectfully tell them that Israel has committed an illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights and the West Bank. They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank.
Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Hamas?
Why are you not condemning the rapes that Hamas did to Israeli women?
Why are you not condemning the attack on Oct. 7?
Do you think Hamas should eliminate the Jews?
Just like with the Mein Kampf in a child's bedroom, the terror calendar, the Hamas chemical weapons playbook, the "secret" Hamas attack plans and the underground tunnels under the al Shifa hospital, Israel wants to make sure you are believing everything they're telling you when it comes to their war in Gaza. Israel has not provided any legitimate proof it has justified the assault on Gaza.
For one thing, Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage. Hamas stated the reasons for attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran.
Jewish Democrats voted to equate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.
Worthless legislation that does not solve America's problems. It is a wink and nod to allow a foreign country to commit crimes against humanity.
What makes me so mad with Washington, DC politicians is the fact they accept lobbyist donations in order to boast their chances of winning elections. They talk a mean game when it comes to what they will do once they become an elected leader, but as soon as they are sworn into office, they abandon it.
I don't like the Democrats right now. I don't especially like Republicans either. They are emboldened by stupidity.
So thus, it is a lose-lose if you vote for Joe Biden or Donald J. Trump. Both support Israel and disregard the outcry.
Over 65% of Democrats support an immediate ceasefire and permanent solution.
Biden, the House and Senate Democrats will never support it.
It has become a frustrating situation for me. I am seriously considering not voting for Biden because of his one sided and genocidal support for Israel.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are worthless as a bucket of piss. They will literally kiss the ass of a foreign country that interferes in our elections. They continue to back this notion that Israel has right to defend itself.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is getting death threats thanks to the Pro Israeli noisemakers dehumanizing her.
The chamber voted 311-14-92 on the measure, which reaffirms the House’s strong support for the Jewish community across the globe; calls on elected officials and world leaders to condemn antisemitism; rejects all forms of terror, hate, discrimination and harassment against individuals in the Jewish community and “clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism.”
The House approved the resolution despite a last-minute effort by a group of prominent Jewish Democrats urging members of their caucus to vote “present” on the legislation — which 92 did.
These 95 Democrats put a foreign country over America.

Ironic, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is feuding with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ). He is just as pro-Israel as Sinema. Both are delusional and will split the ticket for a Republican who isn't Kari Lake to win.
I am angry at Rep. Emilia Sykes (D-OH) for selling out to the lobbyists. She and Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) are facing a touch reelection fight going into 2024. Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) and Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) all voted present.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), the only Republican to vote against the resolution is attacked by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the White House for dissing the House bill equating anti-Zionism and anti-semitism.
Only 14 lawmakers are on the right side of history. These lawmakers voted against the resolution, including Representatives Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Gerald Connolly, Jesús Garcia, Raúl Grijalva, Pramila Jayapal, Summer Lee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Delia Ramirez, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Congress’s only Palestinian representative, Rashida Tlaib. The small Democratic crowd was also joined by one Republican congressman, Representative Thomas Massie.
The House considered the resolution — led by Rep. David Kustoff (R-TN) and Max Miller (R-OH), the two Jewish Republicans in the House — after the Israeli-aligned Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported a significant increase in antisemitic incidents in the U.S. since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
The organization on Oct. 24 said it recorded a 388 percent increase in reports of harassment, vandalism and assault in the time following Hamas’ offensive compared to the same period last year. The group said of the 312 antisemitism incidents recorded between Oct. 7 and Oct. 23, 190 of them were “directly linked” to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Tuesday’s resolution is the latest piece of legislation the House has approved showing solidarity with Israel since the surprise Hamas attack on Oct. 7 killed about 1,200 people.
An estimated 15,000 people have been killed in Gaza in the month since as Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights
Can't win with the RNC putting thumb on the scale.
Republicans grumble as the leading candidate Donald J. Trump continues to defy the rules and still refuses to debate his record on stage with competitors.
North Dakota governor Doug Burgum is the latest Republican to drop out of the race for the presidential nomination.
Chris Christie, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis remain.
Burgum announced on Monday he was suspending his campaign.
“Our decision to run for President came from a place of caring deeply about every American and a mission to re-establish trust in America’s leadership and our institutions of democracy,” the Republican said in a statement. “While this primary process has shaken my trust in many media organizations and political party institutions, it has only strengthened my trust in America.”
He also criticized the Republican National Committee for its debate requirements that he argued take the “power of democracy away” from Iowa and New Hampshire voters and nationalize the primary system.
The conservative second-term governor, who launched his 2024 bid in June, focused his campaign on the economy, energy and national security, and warned of China being the “No. 1 threat” to the United States. Burgum leaned into his small-town roots and his business background as a former software firm CEO and Microsoft executive.
Burgum poured millions of his own dollars into his campaign to boost his candidacy.
But he lacked the national name recognition compared with his rivals, and his appearances at the first two debates failed to raise his profile.
He did not qualify for the third debate after failing to meet the heightened polling thresholds, and he was unlikely to meet the qualifications for the fourth debate taking place this week in Alabama.
To qualify for the primary debates, his campaign offered $20 gift cards to people who donated at least a dollar.
The day before the first debate in Milwaukee in August, Burgum ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing a game of pickup basketball with his staff. Despite the injury, Burgum appeared onstage in Milwaukee with seven other GOP candidates, standing for the full debate in a medical boot. “I think I took them a little too literally when they said, ‘Go to Milwaukee and break a leg,’” he joked.
Following the incident, he maintained his campaign schedule, getting around on a scooter as he healed from the injury.
At the second debate in California, Burgum attempted to get more speaking time by inserting himself into the conversation that tended to be dominated by his higher-profile rivals. That led to one of the debate moderators threatening to cut his microphone. He later expressed frustration over the limited speaking time, telling CNN, “I had to fight my way in.”
Throughout the campaign, Burgum avoided criticizing Donald Trump, who remains the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination, or commenting on the former president’s legal troubles. Burgum previously told CNN that he would not consider serving as a running mate for Trump or in a future Trump Cabinet. “Happy to do lots of other things. I had a fabulous 30 years in the private sector. A lot of opportunities there,” he said in August.
He did not endorse a candidate for president in his statement announcing he’s ending his bid.
Burgum, who won a second term as North Dakota governor in 2020 with nearly 66% of the vote, is eligible to seek a third term next year. State voters approved a constitutional measure last fall that prohibits governors from serving more than two terms, but a governor’s service before January 1, 2023, does not count against the new limits.
Head over heels. Ashanti pregnant with Nelly's child.
The secret relationship is now an official. They have dated for years but denied ever being in a relationship. The two reunited and finally became an item.
Nelly and Ashanti have been friends for years. However, their friendship took it to another level. The 43-year old singer and actress announced she is expecting her first child with the rapper.
The 49-year old rapper has two other children from previous relationship as well as adopting his niece and nephew from his late sister.
“Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together,” Us Weekly reported on Monday.
The rumors first began after over the weekend when Ashanti and Nelly attended an event together in the “Ride Wit Me” rapper’s native St. Louis. At the function, Ashanti and Nelly both playfully caressed the “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)” singer’s stomach, as seen in a TMZ video.
If the rumors are true, Ashanti would be pregnant with her first child and the “Hot in Herre” rapper would be expecting his third — he has two grown children, Chanelle and Cornell Haynes III, from his previous relationship with Channetta Valentine.
Nelly [Cornell Haynes, Jr.] and Ashanti [Douglas] dated on and off for about 11 years before breaking up in 2013. After sparking romance rumors for months, Nelly directly addressed speculation about the couple’s rekindled relationship in a September interview with “Love and Hip Hop’s” Rasheeda on her “Boss Moves” TV show.
“Yeah, we cool again,” he said in a clip, which was re-posted by the Shade Room. “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that ...[was] planned. I think we’re both pretty much doing what we do.”
Gretchen Carlson calls out the annoying agitator Sean Hannity.
Former Fox host goes after.... "I am dehumanizing again!"
Gretchen Carlson was the woman who took down Roger Ailes, the founder and former CEO of the far right cable outlet known as Fox. Its longtime host is one of the most annoying media personality in the country.
About 95% of his cable news show and radio program is chop full of conspiracy theories and yellow journalism.
Sean Hannity aka Softball Hannity is the most annoying agitator to ever hold a media program.
Carlson lit into one of her former colleagues on Monday, taking aim at "Softball" Hannity.
The agitator, fresh off his DeSantis-Newsom debate success, shared his monologue from last Wednesday on X over the weekend, writing, “Hate is running rampant all across the country.”
Hannity’s monologue focused primarily on condemning a recent Oakland City Council meeting in which many speakers openly supported Hamas and denied the barbarism of the Oct. 7th in which Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and abducted more than 200.
Always projecting.
“A word about the extremism and the hate now running rampant all across the country, starting just one day after the barbaric Hamas terror attack on October 7th.
Carlson took to X and hit the agitator with a dose of irony.
Just recently, Fox fact-checked former president Donald J. Trump on his lies about the 2020 presidential election. The network paid nearly $1 billion to Dominion Systems after the far right network reached a settlement with the company in a defamation suit this year. Smartmatic Programs is also suing the network as well for defamation and asking for $2 billion. The decision forced shareholders to retire Rupert Murdoch, the man who made Fox what it is now! A network of lies, misinformation and racism.

Here in the United States, hate crimes are rising.
In early November, a man was killed by a megaphone slammed to the head. The incident gotten attention.
Pro Israel's protestor was knocked unconscious by a megaphone. He died of internal bleeding.
Paul Kessler was a Jewish man who died at the age of 69 after being fatally injured in an altercation on November 5, 2023, between dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestine demonstrations in Thousand Oaks, California, United States. Kessler's death has been ruled a homicide and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a hate crime. On November 16, a suspect was taken into custody on a charge of involuntary manslaughter and battery in the death of Kessler.
At dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestine demonstrations on the 2023 Israel–Hamas war in Thousand Oaks on November 5, 2023. About seventy-five to a hundred people were gathered at the intersection for the two protests, which were held by two groups; "Freedom for Palestine" and "We are Pro-Israel". Police patrolling the area reported seeing no indication of violence about fifteen minutes before the altercation reportedly happened. Kessler and a pro-Palestinian supporter had reportedly been involved in an altercation, and Kessler had at some point fallen backwards and hit his head on the ground. Reports of Kessler being struck by a pro-Palestinian supporter in the face with a megaphone were reported, but Ventura County Sherriff Jim Fryoff indicated in a later conference it was unconfirmed.
At around 3:20PM responding deputies and EMS responded to calls and found Kessler on the ground conscious and able to speak. The terrorist was a 50-year-old male pro-Palestinian supporter stayed at the location until deputies arrived to indicate his involvement and had helped Kessler and called 911 after he fell. Bleeding from the head and mouth, Kessler was transported to the hospital, where he was responsive and conscious to speak with law enforcement at the hospital. He died early the next day, November 6, at the hospital.
Over a week ago, the junk food media covered a terrorist attack in Vermont. Three men who are Palestinian American were shot by a white man in Burlington. Tahseen Ali Ahmad, Kinnan Abdalhamid, and Hisham Awartan were seriously injured. Hisham could be paralyzed from the neck down.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Phil Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) and Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) were informed and reacted to this.
Three 20-year-old students were walking in Burlington, Vermont, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving when they were approached by a white man. Police allege a white 48 year old man approached the trio as they were speaking in a mix of English and Arabic, didn’t say anything, and then pulled out a handgun before opening fire.
They were returning to one of their grandmothers homes after spending time bowling during a birthday party and were near the University of Vermont and the UVM Medical Center. They had been in Burlington since November 22, and were staying at the home of one of the student’s grandmother. Two of them were wearing keffiyehs when the suspect walked up to them and began to shoot at them, apparently only striking two of them when he was about 6 feet away. One of the wounded was able to call 911, while the third fled to a neighbor’s home before realizing he had been shot, while asking for them to call 911.
The junk food media personalizes white terrorist who shot three men as a mentally ill and depressed man. They claim he was upset over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The victims are male Palestinian students at Brown University, Trinity College, and Haverford College. The three men grew up together and had all attended the Ramallah Friends School, a Quaker run kindergarten through 12th grade school, in the occupied West Bank. Two of the students are Palestinian-American US citizens, and the third is a permanent legal resident.
All three students were wounded, with one shot in the chest, another in the spine, and one through his backside. Elizabeth Price, the mother of Hisham Awartani, told NBC News on Sunday he was shot in the spine and that he may never be able to walk again.
“We are thankful that all three will survive this attack, and Hisham’s friends are expected to make a full recovery,” a GoFundMe started by his friends and family reads. “For Hisham, however, one of the bullets that struck him is lodged in his spine and has left him paralyzed from the chest down.”
“He has demonstrated remarkable courage, resilience and fortitude — even a sense of humor — even as the reality of his paralysis sets in.”
In response to the news, the personal physician of King Abdullah II of Jordan reached out to the boy's family to identify his medical needs and send a specialist. In a statement, the young man said he was "one casualty in a much wider conflict."
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Okay, the No. 1 problem in the United States happens again. What happens is we cover it for a few days, get reaction from President Joe Biden, a state governor or a mayor about the latest mass shooting in the country.
We talk about the weapon of choice for mass shootings. The calls for more gun reform grow only for Republicans and some Democrats to balk at it.
Republicans will say "Now it's not the time to talk about gun violence."
These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
California professor charged with death of Pro Israel protestor. The far right labels him a terrorist.
The far right often infiltrate protests and cause chaos to paint progressives protests as violent. Even when the far right attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, they believed that far left members infiltrated the mob. Ignore the fact that Donald J. Trump and his allies urged the supporters to come, called for them to protest and told them to not show weakness.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
This was never about Hamas. This was Israel's plan all along. The complete eradication of Palestine.
The Zionists are really desperate in quelling the global movement. The movement to end the occupation and Israeli apartheid of Palestine will see fundamental change in American politics.
From theRiver to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! 🇵🇸 🍉
Cry more!
Okay, the first round of Israeli civilians are returning home. The Israeli government released Palestinian civilians unlawfully arrested and imprisoned. The ceasefire is in effect but it won't last long. Israel will still have settlers shoot Palestinians. They will continue to shoot Gazans who try to return to the North.
They will continue manipulating the West and Americans with the notion that they were the victims of this ongoing conflict.
Israel will be held accountable for its actions and we will see the movement to dissolve the apartheid regime.
The phrase above is a rally call for liberation.
But to the operatives, Anti-Defamation League, American Israel Public Affairs Committee and U.S. lawmakers, it's anti-semitic.

They shoot innocent civilians and indiscriminately bomb heavily populated areas in Gaza and the West Bank.
Will you condemn the actions of Israel if I have to condemn Hamas?
Israel is moving forward with bombing all of Gaza. After telling civilians to leave northern Gaza, they have decided to go into southern Gaza.
President Joe Biden and Democrats are facing pressure. Arab Americans, Muslims and young voters are tired of Biden taking Israeli propaganda as facts. They want an immediate ceasefire and an end to financial aid to Israel. They want Palestinians to be a full state and free of the illegal occupation. Vice President Kamala Harris hinted that Biden and his administration is getting tired of Israel doing wide scale damage. She said that displacement will not be accepted. She will be ignored by Israeli leaders because they disrespect Biden at every turn.
Israel has launched an assault on Gaza in the South.
Over 17,000 people were killed by Israel. It is a fucking war crime and the West is silence or trying to justify it.
The Israeli military said Sunday its ground offensive had expanded to every part of Gaza, and it ordered more evacuations in the crowded south while vowing that operations there against Hamas would be “no less strength” than its shattering ones in the north.
Heavy bombardment followed evacuation orders, and Palestinians said they were running out of places to go in the sealed-off territory bordering Israel and Egypt. Many of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are crammed into the south after Israel ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the war, which was sparked by the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack in Israel that killed about 1,200, mostly civilians.
The United Nations estimates that 1.8 million Gazans have been displaced. Nearly 958,000 of them are in 99 U.N. facilities in the south, said Juliette Toma, director of communications at the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees.
After dark, gunfire and shelling were heard in the central town of Deir al-Balah as flares lit the sky. In Gaza’s second-largest city of Khan Younis, Israeli drones buzzed overhead. U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk urged an end to the war, saying civilian suffering was “too much to bear.”
The Health Ministry in Gaza said the death toll there since Oct. 7 has surpassed 15,500, with more than 41,000 wounded. The ministry does not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths, but said 70% of the dead were women and children.
A Health Ministry spokesman asserted that hundreds had been killed or wounded since a weeklong cease-fire ended Friday. “The majority of victims are still under the rubble,” Ashraf al-Qidra said.
Fears of a wider conflict intensified. A U.S. warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed attacks on two ships they described as being linked to Israel but did not acknowledge targeting a U.S. vessel.
Hopes for another temporary truce in Gaza were fading. The cease-fire facilitated the release of dozens of the roughly 240 Gaza-held Israeli and foreign hostages in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. But Israel has called its negotiators home, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war will continue until “all its goals” are achieved. One is to remove Hamas from power in Gaza.
Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said resuming talks with Israel on further exchanges must be tied to a permanent cease-fire.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told NBC’s “Meet the Press” the U.S. was working “really hard” for a resumption of negotiations.
Israel’s military widened evacuation orders in and around Khan Younis in the south, telling residents of at least five more areas to leave. Residents said the military dropped leaflets calling Khan Younis “a dangerous combat zone” and ordering them to move to the border city of Rafah or a coastal area in the southwest.
When the damage is done, who is going to pay for the price for rebuilding?
But Halima Abdel-Rahman, a widow and mother of four, said she won’t heed such orders anymore. She fled her home in October to an area outside Khan Younis, where she stays with relatives.
“The occupation tells you to go to this area, then they bomb it,” she said by phone. “The reality is that no place is safe in Gaza. They kill people in the north. They kill people in the south.”
The United States, Israel’s closest ally, has urged Israel to avoid significant new mass displacement and do more to protect civilians. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris told Egypt’s president that “under no circumstances” would the U.S. permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, an ongoing siege of Gaza or the redrawing of its borders.
On the ground in Gaza, there was fear and mourning. Outside a Gaza City hospital, a dust-covered boy named Saaed Khalid Shehta dropped to his knees beside the bloodied body of his little brother Mohammad, one of several bodies laid out after people said their street was hit by airstrikes. He kissed him.
“You bury me with him!” the boy cried. A health worker at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital said more than 15 children were killed.
Israel’s military said its fighter jets and helicopters struck targets in Gaza including “tunnel shafts, command centers and weapons storage facilities.” It acknowledged ”extensive aerial attacks in the Khan Younis area.”
The bodies of 31 people killed in bombardment of central Gaza were taken to the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah, said Omar al-Darawi, a hospital administrative employee. One woman wept, cradling a child’s body. Another carried the body of a baby. Later, hospital workers reported 11 more dead after another airstrike. Bloodied survivors included a child carried in on a mattress.
Outside a hospital morgue in Khan Younis, resident Samy al-Najeila carried the body of a child. He said his sons had been preparing to evacuate their home, “but the occupation didn’t give us any time. The three-floor building was destroyed completely, the whole block was totally destroyed.” He said six of the bodies were his relatives.
“Five people are still under the rubble,” he said. “God help us.”
In a video from the same crowded al-Nasser hospital, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said: “I feel like I’m almost failing in my ability to convey the endless killing of children here.”
Israel says it does not target civilians and has taken measures to protect them, including its evacuation orders. In addition to leaflets, the military has used phone calls and radio and TV broadcasts to urge Gazans to move from specific areas.
Israel says it targets Hamas operatives and blames civilian casualties on the militants, accusing them of operating in residential neighborhoods. It claims to have killed thousands of militants, without providing evidence. Israel says at least 78 of its soldiers have been killed.
The widening offensive likely will further complicate humanitarian aid to Gaza. Wael Abu Omar, a spokesman for the Palestinian Crossings Authority, said 100 aid trucks entered Sunday, but U.N. agencies have said 500 trucks per day on average entered before the war.
The renewed hostilities also heightened concerns for the 137 hostages the Israeli military believes are still being held by Hamas. During the recent truce, 105 hostages were freed, and Israel released 240 Palestinian prisoners. Most of those released by both sides were women and children.
Elsewhere in the region, Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group said it struck Israeli positions near the tense Lebanon-Israel border. Eight soldiers and three civilians were wounded by Hezbollah fire in the area of Beit Hillel, army radio reported. The military said its artillery struck sources of fire from Lebanon and its fighter jets struck other Hezbollah targets.
Iraqi militants with the Iran-backed umbrella group the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said they struck the Kharab al-Jir U.S. military base in Syria with rockets. A U.S. military official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said rockets hit Rumalyn Landing Zone in Syria but there were no reports of casualties or damage.
Later Sunday, officials with Iranian-backed militias in Iraq said five militia members were killed in an airstrike blamed on the U.S. near Kirkuk. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. U.S. military officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will continue this farce against President Joe Biden.
He will hold a vote this week to launch another impeachment inquiry into the president based off unconfirmed conspiracies about his son Hunter Biden.
“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”
Instead of lowering inflation, solving the problems at home, Johnson will give Congress time to aid Israel in its genocide, deny Ukraine in its defense against Russia, restart the mission to repeal the Affordable Care Act, pass draconian bills and continue fighting with one another over who is the best member for MAGA. This is the hill, Johnson wants to stand on.
Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”
Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.
Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.
“Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for brazen partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different,” Johnson said.
“Now we’re being stalled by the White House because they’re preventing at least two to three DOJ witnesses from coming forward” and withholding evidence from the National Archives, he continued. “A formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next necessary step, and I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”
A spokesman for the White House counsel’s office, Ian Sams, told CNN in a statement Saturday, “This is a baseless, politically-motivated attempt to smear President Biden with lies, and it reflects how this chaotic House GOP is focused on the wrong priorities, when they should be working on real issues Americans actually care about like the President is.”
Republicans have a four seat majority. Losing George Santos will put Republicans at a disadvantage when it comes to reaching 218. Only 10 Republicans have no interest in dealing with an impeachment inquiry. Losing three Republicans dooms any attempt to launch an impeachment inquiry let alone a vote.
And they still have no concrete proof that Biden, then vice president at the time got unregistered funds while in office. All I seen from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is bullshit.
Everything the GOP shown happened when Biden was a private citizen. So thus, from 2017 until 2021, Biden can do whatever he wanted. Hunter Biden is a private citizen and had no government role or any involvement in decisions for former president Barack Obama and former vice president Joe Biden.
Comer refuses to launch an investigation into Jared and Ivanka Kushner. They worked in the government and accepted unregistered funds while working for their father.
Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Tiffany Trump and Eric Trump have earned millions while their father was in office.
Biden has faced a barrage of conspiracy theories, unflattering polls, pushback on his policies and reelection woes all the year. He has record unemployment but high inflation and lack of satisfaction in job. More Americans are divided over politics. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has rattled American opinions. It pitted the Democrats against one another. Republicans can't govern in the House and Senate. Donald J. Trump has indictments for theft of government property, advocating illegal election interference and misconduct while in office. He still leads in polls in the primary race. Candidates who want to be the party's presidential nominee, grumble as the Republicans bleed money and put the thumb on the scale for Trump.
Congress is a mess. Biden is a mess. Trump is a mess. America is a mess.
I work two jobs. I don't take joy in working these two jobs. I missed working at my previous job. The checks that I get from these two jobs are not enough. I am really hoping for a better 2024 when it comes to jobs.
I literally work more hours and it still not enough. Mainly if I ran for Congress, I get a federal wage of $14,579 a month, trips to foreign countries, staffers, meet and greets with constituents, dealing with protesters, having the luxury of a title and getting lobbyist money would be awesome. Getting a second residence in Washington, DC, working four days a week, having long government breaks, drafting laws, voting on laws, joining caucuses and committees, damn I would have it made. The downside, elections, primaries and of course the junk food media looking to catch you slip.
Some have all the luck.
I am back to dehumanizing this people again. An old, out of touch politician named Virginia Foxx resides in Banner Elk, North Carolina. She has been in office since 2005 and represents Western North Carolina to the Triad [Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point] suburbs. The 5th Congressional District is a Republican stronghold.
Once Republicans in state legislature get their gerrymandered map passed, it will be even more Republican strongholds with Democratic leaning cities blended with Republican districts.
Foxx is as old as President Joe Biden. No one is criticizing her age, her cognitive abilities and her rhetoric. I mean she talks like she was a former Klan leader. She probably was.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) was a former educator turned politician. She was a member of North Carolina's state senate before getting elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
She is infamous for spreading the Barack Obama birther conspiracy. She supported Donald J. Trump and his Muslim ban, his immigration separation policies and his fight to overturn the 2020 presidential election. She is one of the leading figures in trying to impeach Biden.
Foxx is what Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is going turn out to be.
A bitter old racist woman.
Foxx was in the news earlier this year when she told ABC reporter Rachel Scott to shut up twice when she legitimately questioned House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-NC) attempt to back Trump delegitimizing of the election. Scott is a Black woman.
New: Two weeks after GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx demanded @MaxwellFrostFL's comments remarks challenging GOP logic about student debt be removed, Foxx interrupted @JamaalBowmanNY and forced him to suspend his comments about racism.https://t.co/RpO8C1Nyay
GOP rep. Bob Good posed stripping federal $$ from public schools that shelter undocumented people.
This prompted Bowman to detail how essential federal funding is for NYC (given the history of racist gov't redlining policies leaving schools underfunded).https://t.co/RpO8C1Nyay
…And here's how Rep. Foxx similarly interrupted Rep. Frost two weeks ago, as he took on GOP logic about student debt relief.
*Foxx is the top House recipient of cash from the for-profit education industry (>$665,000) and student loan companies ($86,000):https://t.co/I78TjveSOY
Rep. Virginia Foxx and other members of Congress get paid $174,000 per year to work an average of 4 days per week, and qualify for a pension after working just 5 years. https://t.co/9O9Q3PBQhM
Foxx called for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) to be removed after the controversial lawmaker stated that many Republicans have harbored racism and dehumanizing rhetoric towards human beings.
Foxx angrily banged the gavel nine times to stop Bowman from talking.
Old farts.
Worker exhaustion is becoming a real issue. Folks are getting burned out from working and it is leading to a revolt. Foxx, upon her mighty seat as a U.S. Representative said the following:
“There’s just a lot of people in this country that don’t want to work, period … and want other people to take care of them. That’s not what this country is all about. We have great opportunities in this country for people to be successful, if they want to work hard.”
Even though the hearing was about employees who work long hours, the GOP chair of the House Committee on Education & the Workforce took a moment to argue that too many Americans don’t want to work at all.
The lawmaker’s statement came in response to testimony from Democratic witness Judy Conti, the director of government affairs for the National Employment Law Project, who’d said that many workers won’t put up with forced overtime these days.
“We see that workers are increasingly willing to — especially younger workers — are willing to leave jobs where they have to do mandatory overtime, especially where it’s uncompensated,” Conti had said.
Republicans have long fought against worker rights. Managers who are salaried won't get extra pay despite working longer than 40 hours. When there's a worker shortage or a day off for workers, management must cover the Black. Many workers can't take a vacation or enjoy a weekend due to constant demands from employers. Also, corporations are pulling in more money while raising costs.
Capitalism is losing support. Israel is long support. House Republicans are losing support. Donald J. Trump is losing support. Joe Biden is losing support. The junk food media is losing support. And of course, they double down on the stupidity.
Virginia Foxx will be hard to beat. She might as well die in office which I get the feeling she may experience in 2024. Hate ruins the soul.
Former Republican lawmaker George Santos was angry on Friday. His career as a Washington, DC politician came to an end. He was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives and is forbidden to run for federal office.
A damning House Ethics Report show the former lawmaker had misled, stole and caused federal crimes during his time in office. He was seen leaving the U.S. Capitol without a word.
The U.S. Capitol maintenance remove his name, his handle and federal badge. He is now a civilian. A man who can return back to a life in drag. No pun intended.
Santos won a seat a Democrat held for decades. His victory gave Republicans a slim majority. But when a small Long Island newspaper reported on the lies of Santos, the New York Times and Washington Post followed up with some damning reports.
It led to the New York Republican Party revoking their endorsement. About seven New York Republican lawmakers from the House voted to expel Santos.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY), Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY), Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY).
Far right members Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) voted to keep Santos in.
Santos in late night posts on social media pledged to file ethics complaints against several of his House colleagues after he was expelled from office Friday.
His threats were levied against Malliotakis, Lawler, Nick LaLota and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) over campaign finance violations and other ethics claims. The embattled former lawmaker said he will file official complaints on Monday.
The Ethics Committee investigation into Santos is what ultimately led to his expulsion from office. The committee’s damning report changed the minds of members who previous voted against expelling him, and detailed extensive allegations of misconduct.
Before his expulsion vote, Santos warned that voting him out would set a bad precedent for expelling other members for misconduct allegations.
Santos was the first openly gay Republican to be elected. He only served 11 months in Congress, about longer than Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) term as House Speaker. He was ousted by 75% of his own conference. The ones besides Stefanik and Tenney included insufferable lawmakers Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Darrell Issa (R-CA), Mike Turner (R-OH), Kat Cammack (R-FL) and Jim Jordan (R-OH).
Dysfunction is the reason to why Republicans can't govern.
The first woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court has passed away at the age of 93.
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has passed away according to sources from the AP.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, members of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts, Congress, former presidents Donald J. Trump, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter will react to the news.
Her cause of death was complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness. She was 93.
Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement that O'Connor "blazed an historic trail as our nation's first female justice."
He said the justices "mourn the loss of a beloved colleague, a fiercely independent defender of the rule of law, and an eloquent advocate for civics education."
From the early 1990s until her retirement in 2005, she was the indisputable swing justice, often casting the deciding vote in the court’s most contentious cases. Her lack of a consistent judicial philosophy rankled some, but others praised her practical bent as a moderating influence.
After the failure of Robert Bork, Ronald Reagan promised to put a woman in the Supreme Court. Sandra Day O'Connor was that choice.
She sometimes sided with the court’s conservatives, approving taxpayer-funded vouchers for students at religious schools, voting to end the 2000 Florida recount between George W. Bush and Al Gore, and advocating for states’ rights against federal control.
But she joined with the court’s liberals in upholding affirmative action in college admissions, approving the creation of more congressional districts with African-American voters in the majority, and keeping a wall of separation between government and religion.
As the court has moved further to the right in recent years, her legacy has been undermined, with the 6-3 conservative majority ending the right to abortion and the consideration of race in college admissions, emphasizing how her modest approach to judging was the hallmark of a different era.
Her reputation as a moderate took a hit when she sided with the conservative justices in the 5-4 Bush. v. Gore ruling, a decision she later expressed regret over. The court perhaps should have stayed out of the Florida recount issue altogether, she said in a 2013 interview with the Chicago Tribune editorial board. The ruling, she added, "stirred up the public" and "gave the court a less than perfect reputation."
O’Connor grew up on the Lazy B, a 160,000-acre cattle ranch in the high desert country straddling the Arizona-New Mexico border. She graduated from law school at Stanford University, where she met her future husband, John, and struck up a lifelong friendship with William Rehnquist, a classmate who would eventually become the nation’s chief justice.
O'Connor meets with Senators. Future president Joe Biden on the right.
Following four years of service in the Arizona attorney general’s office, she was appointed to fill a vacancy in the state senate in 1969. After being re-elected, she became the first woman in the country to be a state senate majority leader.
She then turned her attention to the courts, running for and winning a position as a Maricopa County Superior Court judge.
In 1981, she came highly recommended when President Ronald Reagan was looking for someone to help him keep a campaign promise to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court. She sounded like a conservative during her Senate confirmation hearing, expressing opposition to the notion that the right to abortion was constitutionally protected.
In 1981, she came highly recommended when President Ronald Reagan was looking for someone to help him keep a campaign promise to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court. She sounded like a conservative during her Senate confirmation hearing, expressing opposition to the notion that the right to abortion was constitutionally protected.
“My own view in the area of abortion is that I’m opposed to it as a matter of birth control or otherwise,” she said. After she was unanimously confirmed, 99-0, she at first criticized Roe v. Wade, but she later joined the court’s majority in a series of cases upholding abortion rights.
As the first female justice, her every action was scrutinized, attention that she would later say was intimidating. “It’s thrilling, in a way, to be the first to do something, the first woman ever to serve on the court. But it’s dreadful if you’re the last. And if I didn’t do the job well, that’s what would happen.”
Barack Obama awarding Sandra Day O'Connor.
Seven years after coming to the court, she underwent surgery for breast cancer. Years later, she said the disease “fostered a desire in me to make each and every day a good day.”
She and John O'Connor were married in 1952 and had three children. The O’Connors were frequent guests at Washington social events. An encounter at formal dinner with NFL star John Riggins made national headlines when he told her at one point, “Loosen up, Sandy baby.”
At age 75, O’Connor abruptly announced her intention to step down from the Supreme Court to attend to her husband, who had Alzheimer’s disease. He died in 2009 at age 79.
She remained active, urging states to do away with elections for judges, which she said made the courts too political. And she was outspoken in saying that the nation’s public schools were shirking their responsibility to provide civics education.
O’Connor’s appointment as the first woman justice not only made history, but it also prodded other states to start putting women on their supreme courts. But she recoiled at the thought that a woman would decide cases differently. She was fond of quoting a letter from a supporter who wrote, “Dear Justice O’Connor: Don’t be intimidated by all those men and especially the chief justice. You put on your robes the same way.”
Packed it up. George Santos is forced out of Congress.
The U.S. House of Representatives expelled Republican lawmaker. He will be permanently barred from running for federal office. He will not seek revenge on a fellow lawmaker who pulled the fire alarm. He will be forced to leave with the possibility of losing his pension and be sanctioned.
Former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is the first openly gay Republican lawmaker and the latest in a generation to be removed from Congress.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a special election will be held to replace the disgraced Republican.
Lawmakers voted 311-114 to oust the New York Republican. The measure required the support of two-thirds of the chamber to pass. Two members voted present.
Santos is the sixth House member in U.S. history to be booted from Congress, and the third since the Civil War.
The removal of Santos lowers the number of House Republicans to 221, with 213 Democrats. This makes it even more difficult for the majority to pass legislation without Democratic support.
Democrats see his seat as a prime pickup opportunity. New York law gives Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul 10 days to announce a special election to fill his seat, with a vote coming sometime in late February.
Former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi, who left the seat in New York’s 3rd congressional district to run for governor, has already launched a campaign to take it back.
House Republican leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Whip Steve Scalise, were wary of ousting one of their colleagues and had opposed the expulsion resolution.
The resolution, brought by Santos’ fellow New York Republicans, was just the latest effort to boot the embattled 35-year-old freshman lawmaker. So far, none of the motions passed.
But the calculus for Republicans changed following the release of a scathing House Ethics report in mid-November about Santos.
The GOP-led panel concluded that Santos “blatantly stole from his campaign” and spent the donors’ money shopping at places like Ferragamo and Hermes, getting Botox and visiting the adult website OnlyFans.com.
Scandals have defined the New York Republican’s brief time in office. Shortly after winning the seat in 2022, Santos admitted lying about his professional and educational background. But he denied committing any crimes.
Santos has since been charged with nearly two dozen counts of crimes including identity theft, submitting false campaign finance reports and stealing unemployment money.
He has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Bobo and Anna Lu with Dave Chappelle. Far right lawmakers with controversial comedian.
Yeah, I am dehumanizing her. She is a politician who doesn't take her job seriously.
Dave Chappelle does not like taking photos. At many of his events, he requires all attendees to leave cell phones in their vehicles or place them inside a pouch. He takes his art very seriously. The moment a cell phone camera is seen during his performance, he may abruptly stop and leave the stage.
He resides between Washington, DC and Yellow Springs, Ohio.
The comedian is controversial for his acts. He has driven criticism and praise for his comedy.
He faced criticism for transgender rights, Israel, President Joe Biden, former president Donald J. Trump and the coronavirus pandemic.
He was praised for supporting Palestinians, Black Lives Matter, Duchess Meghan and Muslims.
He often trolls moments.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), the 36 year old lawmaker, a divorced mother of four and one grandchild is an insufferable, lazy, irredeemable person. Her district is top priority for Democrats. Adam Frisch is challenging her again. He may have a rough challenge ahead knowing that Boebert is well funded and is trying her best to not embarrass herself.
Boebert won barely. She succeeded in defeating Frisch by 550 votes.
Earlier this year, she was called a bitch by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), stalled Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from becoming Speaker of the House but voted to not oust him, divorced her husband Jayson Boebert after allegations of adultery from both parties, groped a liberal Democrat boyfriend while watching Beetlejuice: The Musical, flipped off staff after she was ejected from the musical, vaping and acting like a complete asshole.
Now taking a picture with Dave Chappelle and making it seems like he took a political stance now plagues her.
Boebert and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) took a selfie with Chappelle after they bumped into him at the U.S. Capitol.
Chappelle being in a picture with Boebert, an extremely controversial lawmaker would generate noise.
Chappelle said he was "tricked."
A video posted to X, formerly Twitter, shows that as they began to say farewell, Boebert asked Chappelle for a selfie.
"May we get a selfie with you?" Boebert can be heard asking. "I know you're trying to leave."
He reportedly also said: "She tricked me," before adding Boebert was "rubbing her mitts together," in anticipation of getting a photo with him. Chappelle reportedly said he didn't feel like he could say no and that in a politically divided time it "was a human moment" to oblige her request.
But then the comedian reportedly claimed he was "blindsided" by her tweet saying he "understood that there were two genders."
"It's a shame she tricked me," Chappelle is reported to have said. "I had two tickets to Beetlejuice and I was going to give her one!"
