big govt communism at work!

Yes, which is why the formation of a Coalition of the Willing to enforce regime change in Moscow is probably a necessary step - Putin and his cronies will never stop until they're apprehended and forced to face justice.

With J 6 Crtroom drama Trump is unlikely to win no matter what the polls are saying

Not much has change from 1988 when his segment was presented on 60 Minutes.

Isaiah L. Kenen, the founder of AIPAC (and AZC), was registered as a foreign agent of Israel under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).

Kenen was also the chief information officer for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The American Zionist Council (AZC), the predecessor of AIPAC, was forced under Kennedy to registered as a foreign agent.

After Kennedy died, the issue dropped of the political radar and AZC reorganized itself as AIPAC.

AIPAC has managed to evade being registered as a foreign agent ever since.

So what you're saying is that the predecessor of AIPAC was run by Israelis, and was as such registered as a foreign agent.

Meanwhile, AIPAC is run by Americans advocating for our alliance with Israel.

The "AIPAC is a foreign agent" talking point comes from the far-right.

I am saying that AIPAC should be registered as a foreign agent under FARA.

Then you are agreeing with the far right that American Jews who support Israel are foreign agents, and that's a patently obvious antisemitic stereotype based around the dual loyalty myth.

AIPAC members care about Israel more than America. Unequivocally. Same for CUFI. Of course, the vast majority of American Jews are not AIPAC members. JStreet would never pull crap like this.

AIPAC staffers? Surely

AIPAC backed Congressmembers? Nah, they just suppoet Israel when the AIPAC demand it. The reat of the time they focus on other issues.
Look at Latimer: an experiences politician who can be considered a generic D, who can campaing as "pragmatic progressive" while still being clearly to the roght of Bowman. He needs the zionist vote, but he won't be "the new Torres" or anything like that.

On the case of Torres, he is either being WELL played, a sincere Zionist (the ones that are one staters in their heart) or a careerist that is looking to the next Senate election.

It's likely a combo of the last two, plus being a pissed-off gay black man who was singled out for special abuse by these activists. I think it's personal for him now, in kind of the opposite way it is for McCollum after she was offended by AIPAC years back.

Trump's issue is cognitive decline, it's sociopathy.

So the suspect appeared to had been a pro-russian far-righter at first
but he apparently uh became a bit more leftist because in 2019 he supported the social liberal candidate and condemned Russian invasion of Ukraine
So my conclusion is that he was just some old guy that went right than leftist and uh snapped and shot the prime minister

He just seems to be opposed to the current government, whomever is the current government at the time.

"Many people are like this".

So we will see a demonization of people who hate the government no matter what there ideology is or will just a side be chosen (Leftist or rightists) to blame for the shooting?

I would actually say that North America is *the* safest area in the world to be Jewish, though I do get the "safety in numbers" argument for Israel. Europe is also mostly not bad, most of the time.

The way I would put it is that the US is the safest place to be a Jew while Israel is the most secure.

We might be historically safe here, but we're also keenly aware that we're always one bad election from not being safe - not just on a national level, but on a city-wide or state-wide election level. Things can go downhill very quickly - Brandon Johnson's election in Chicago essentially turning the place into a safe zone for the most extreme pro-Palestinian protests is a mild example, while Mark Robinson potentially becoming Governor of North Carolina is a more extreme one.

After a five-hour surgery on the day of the attack, Fico was operated for a second time today, which “contributed to the positive prognosis”, according to the Minister of Health, although he is still in “a stable but serious condition”. The Specialized Criminal Court (responsible for corruption, organized crime and terrorism) ordered to keep the attacker in preventive detention.

I guess it's time to wear a mask in NC as an act of civil disobedience. The legality of this law if it passes should be tested.

Unforced error for Biden to push for the mic rule. He won the first debate in 2020 due to Trump being unable to shut up.

Yeah and he can't have another "can you shut up, man" line if the mics are muted.

I just want him to call Trump "Jack" at one point.
