"A federal judge in Virginia on Friday granted a longer block against the Department of Justice implementing a 'Anti-Weaponization Fund,' saying that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s verbal claim that the fund was not going forward was an insufficient guarantee.

Judge Leonie Brinkema gave Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent a week to submit written sworn declarations that the fund was not going forward, as Blanche recently testified to Congress."

Apparently this endless intellectual working over of a political issue is a habit that the left in general and Democrats in particular cannot quit, even when the stakes are very, very high. It shows a lack of political discipline. We need to regain power now. We have to be ruthless. Mercenary. Give it a rest. Platner is the nominee. Let's please stop nattering.

The way the system is supposed to work is that if a US President is clearly corrupt and committing 'high crimes and misdemeanors' and repeatedly failing to uphold his Oath to the Constitution, then Congress is supposed to step in and put a stop to it.

Expert: Analysis shows Trump tax plan “taking money” from bottom 95% and “giving it” to richest 5%

"This is an enormously redistributive tax plan from low- and middle-income families to the wealthiest Americans"

By Tatyana Tandanpolie
Published October 8, 2024

Excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump's proposed tax plan would create tax cuts for the nation's top 5% of earners while leaving the rest of Americans to shoulder tax increases by 2026, according to a new analysis.

"The report, released Monday by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (#ITEP), found that enacting Trump's tax proposals would offer the richest 1% of earners an average tax cut of over $36,300, while the next highest 4% of earners would see average tax cuts of nearly $7,200. The remaining 95% of Americans, however, would see average tax increases, spanning from just over $600 to nearly $1,800 depending on where they fall in the country's income distribution.

"With just under a month left before Election Day, the ITEP analysis offers a comprehensive look at the combined impact on Americans of all the GOP nominee's tax proposals should he reclaim the White House and implement them. While Trump has boasted about these tax policies' money-saving potential in appeals to everyday Americans on the campaign trail — especially his broad-based #tariff proposal — ITEP researchers concluded that the projected tax changes would hit working-class Americans the hardest while disproportionately benefitting the wealthy."

Israel planned the Gaza genocide decades ago

Soldiers in Israel's 1967 6-day war said they routinely committed war crimes "under orders from their commanders."

Haaretz has published the accounts, saying many "were too shocking" to include.

The soldiers were "to create a reign of terror, integral to Israel’s efforts to expel as many Palestinians as possible".
