@aipac1.bsky.social If we want peace in the middle east, particularly in Israel, and Palestine, we need to recognize a state of Palestine, along side Israel. Palestine should exist on 99% of the west bank, except the old city of Jerusalem. Without that, there will never be peace. - A Jewish American

Charlie Kirk's murder really has become a one-size-fits-all excuse for the right.

No matter what they want to do -- crack down on free speech, let Trump rule like a king, even gerrymander their states* -- they point to Kirk's assassination and pretend it was all about their current grievance.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

How a transformative change in charter school rules came back from the dead and became Florida law

A new Florida law allowing charter schools to set up rent free within the walls of public schools is a lesson in power, politics, money — and how they combine late at night in the Capitol.

Another leverage for Putin.

I explain.

Trump goes against Maduro - Venezuela ends up singing a 10y cooperation deal with Russia.

Now Colombia, part of BRICS-led New Development Bank, whose president is pro Russia to begin with. It gives Putin a leverage to be the “mediator” who ends up on top.

President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia. It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won't be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump
