#GOP

Matt Gaetz may be despised even by a good percentage of the Republican House members — but by getting McCarthy removed, allowing chaos (and fatigue) to ensue, he managed move the GOP House further right.

This is how Fascism grows.

When a shooter murdered a woman who had a pride flag on her business, Twitter took days to suspend the account that was filled with anti LGBTQ posts. When the Maine shooter had his social exposed as a far right Elon fan, it was taken down instantly.

Muskie alwayso slow off the starting line when it comes to women....but let a former Army do something and he's right on the mark....

#Israel

Gaza is plagued by poverty, but Hamas has no shortage of cash. Where does it come from?

#Hamas has an investment portfolio of real estate and other assets worth $500 million, say experts, and an annual military budget of as much as $350 million.

...Hamas has filled its coffers with hundreds of millions in international aid, overt and covert injections of cash from Iran and other ideological partners, as well as cryptocurrency, taxes, extortion and smuggling..

ASTRA reports that it has received almost daily messages from the relatives of men who have been detained in occupied regions of Ukraine after refusing to join assaults.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on...

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Ok last one.

If you go into the FBI Academy cafeteria (a family member works there), you will find Fox News playing. Why does the federal government play these lies to their workforce?
