The dems need a new leader - another Obama. Zohran is great for NY but he is too young and a little too radical for mainstream dems.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

No - the MAGAโ€™s voted for racism - but not for inflation, job losses and a generally much harder life. That is the wake up.

Jewish figures across the globe call on UN and world leaders to sanction Israel Exclusive: In an open letter, Israeli ex-officials, artists and intellectuals say โ€˜unconscionableโ€™ actions in Gaza amount to genocide

โ€œWe have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust. Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.โ€

The US just registered 3.8% GDP growth for Q3 - all based on the spending on the AI infrastructure ecosystem and the Magnificent 7. Underlying data - not good - jobless growth, consumer spending down (that which remains is driven by the top 10%) - inflation expectations are up too. Shaky ground.

The Israelโ€“Hamas peace plan. Plus, what does the NSPM-7 domestic terrorism memo do?

Lets hope that this Peace plan is durable. Everyone - especially the Palestinians is tired and desperate for a solution. I do think that DJT was instrumental in cajoling Bibi over the line. If so - kudos to him. www.readtangle.com/the-israel-h...

Not even the Founders could imagine a President like Trump. The checks and balances are not working.

BREAKING:

Israel executed a Palestinian doctor โ€” shooting him in the head while working inside a Gaza hospital.

Read that again.

They executed a doctor with a bullet to the head.

This is deliberate.

Israel is murdering doctors to stop them from saving lives.

Genocide.

I agree with this summation. Itโ€™s the same as South Africa. Today you will not find a white person who supported Apartheid.
