■ Opinion When Will the UN General Assembly Suspend Israel? Israel’s abusive repudiation of the very idea of the United Nations; its escalating and lethal violation of countless international norms; its repeated, deadly attacks on U.N. sanctuaries and peacekeepers all justify its expulsion. By Kathy Kiely We Must Create a Political Home for Americans Who Love the Whole Planet Trump has offered his base a spiritual sanctuary, a home allegedly secure from perceived (and invented) enemies. Instead of creating a different enemy, the opposition must craft something far, far more complex than that. By Robert C.

Secy. Buttigieg has a name for Biden’s infrastructure accomplishments: ‘The Big Deal’

 

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR FUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE after decades of GOP PROMISES! In Massachusetts, the ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS owns 2 bridges that provide access to CAPE COD. Summer traffic gridlocks roads from Providence to Boston. Funding was needed to build NEW BRIDGES without closing down existing bridges. TRUMP slashed CORPS OF ENGINEERS funding. Then told MAGA GOP to oppose President Biden's infrastructure bill which they did. When the INFRASTRUCTURE BILL was up for a CONGRESSIONAL VOTE, the Orange Turd told the MAGA NIT WITS not to vote for it. THE SENATE VOTE: 69-30 THE HOUSE VOTE: DEMS YES: 215 REP: YES: 13 REP: NO: 200 REPUBLICANS worked to DEFEAT INFRASTRUCTURE. SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN had a CARPETBAGGER, JOHN DEATON, who stood, surrounded by MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS who blamed her for the failure to fund the BRDIGES.....IT WAS TRUMP who failed to FUND INFRASTRUCTURE. CRYPTO SCAMMER JOHN DEATON LIED to the detriment of Massachusetts. (He voted 3 times in 20 years.)
