A phrase heard in statements by politicians and organizations: “Stand With Israel.” This is salient as liberal and progressive American Jewish groups have grown increasingly critical of the Israeli government, both for its proposed judicial overhaul and for Israel’s treatment of Palestinians by far-right politicians from the governing coalition. POTUS statements expressed straightforward support for Israel.

No way Tocayo... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces he's ending his Democratic primary campaign to run as an independent.

Some political polls show far more Republicans than Democrats have a favorable opinion of Kennedy. He has also gained support from some far-right conservatives for his fringe views, including his vocal distrust of COVID-19 vaccines, which studies have shown are safe and effective against severe disease and death.

A damaged peach with a seed inside that is rotten to the core. Brownish rot is a fungus Monilinia, infecting blossoms and shoots. 

A bad peach will have a rotten smell. Also, a bad peach can attract insects and fungi and ruin the entire batch.

ON ORDERS FROM THEIR LEADER Mad Vlad Putin, who is Trump's puppet master. In turn, Donal Duck has forced his  House #MAGARepublicans to desperately try to create or make up a case for the impeachment inquiry of JOE BIDEN. Meanwhile, POTUS calls it a baseless stunt.

Is Trump a Russian asset? is he the best the GOP can do? Or, are they simply the hostages of a bitter, lawless, vengeful narcissist? A man who works for Russia and bullies as well as intimidates everyone around him into submitting to his crimes?

Mitt Romney plans to retire, saying that “a very large portion of my party really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.”

They say that good things don't last forever, and this is indeed true as Mitt's time in the US Senate is drawing to his decision.

I am not a registered Republican or a Democrat, and he is no certified angel, but I believe he is an honest and spiritual man, whic is a rarity for GOP politicians.

Why are some Americans dreaming about moving abroad and leaving their homeland? What’s going on here 22 years after 9/11?

Is it that the Summer holidays are now behind us and with them is the delusion that they are a step away from picking up and moving away to their most recent vacation?

Or maybe their social media feeds are full of “how I moved abroad and as “Mamma Mia” season nears its end, a relocation to Greece, Spain, or Portugal is looking better each day.
