Why is AIPAC spending $60 million to defeat Abdul El-Sayed? He suports the existence of Israel and 2 state solution, but not sending military aid to Netanyahu so he can purchase more planes and tanks to kill more Gazans (well over 70,000 thus far) and destroy Gaza apnews.com/article/aipa...

Who is Ali al-Zaidi? A New Beginning for Iraq or Another Act of Political Theater?

The key decision in choosing a new prime minister is not his leadership qualities. What is most important is the extent to which he is able to satisfy all the key political parties in distributing control of specific ministries and government offices. A spoils system, rather than civic commitment, defines Iraqi politics. All parties seek access to state funds and contracts. As long as state funds derived from Iraq's lucrative oil revenues remain available to Iraq's power brokers, the political system, fragmented as it is, muddles along.

One of my best childhood friends got polio. Neither of us had yet been vaccinated. The last image I have of her in my mind's eye was her in a large gray iron lung in her home - an image I'll never forget. Robert Kennedy Jr. should be fired ASAP because he's destroying our public health system

Great questions. Didn't DJT in MAGA 1.0 visit North Korea & say Kim Jung Un & he had developed a "love affair"?
