Impoverishment
There is no balance of power in the Middle East with this administration.
By Anne Karni
The House on Wednesday (click here) rejected a measure to eliminate U.S. aid to Israel, but almost half of Democrats supported the move, reflecting a rapid and dramatic shift within the party away from decades of unequivocal support for the Jewish state.
The measure, which sought to cut all $3.3 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Israel from a foreign affairs spending bill, failed by a vote of 104 to 314, with 10 voting “present,” and all but one Republican, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a sponsor, voting no.
But more Democrats supported it than opposed it, including many who said they voted in favor despite their opposition to the cuts to humanitarian aid. It was the latest and starkest evidence of a major divide over backing Israel within the Democratic Party, which is grappling with a groundswell of hostility in its ranks toward Israel and its conduct of the war in Gaza....
Trump is not capable of carrying out a truce.
Almost as soon as Iran and the United States agreed (click here) to an initial deal on a truce last month, they began accusing each other of violating it. At issue has been the document’s vague language on a critical issue: control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian officials say the deal hands Tehran control over the strait, a key choke point, through which Tehran has halted most marine traffic for months, sending shocks through the global economy. U.S. officials say the agreement opens the waterway as it had been before the war.
Some critics of the accord accuse U.S. negotiators of hasty capitulation under pressure from President Donald Trump as he sought to relieve growing stress on global energy markets. Some key Republicans, such as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), questioned the deal’s extensive economic relief for Iran that required little in return....

Two women that are Supreme Court Justices…
…show up in Congress to ask for money for their personal security. Comey-Barrett states the threats started after the court she was sitting on for the first time assaulted the bodies of American women. No surprise here.
Where are the guys? They aren’t having problems?
Coney-Barrett is a cultist and wants the country to reflect her personal ideology for women’s demeanor and sexuality. She ruled according to her cultish personal preferences making it harder and harder to be a woman.
The United States of America is about choice not conformity.
The United States Supreme Court has made some really lousy decisions including the most recent assaulting independent agencies that keep a check on racketeering like the one practiced by Trump.
Clarence was over at the House a week or so ago. It was a visit to discuss the politics, although, when the reporter asked what the conversation was about he clearly stated he wasn’t about to disclose the conversation especially to a competent journalist.
It is a really lousy court Roberts conducts. They have taken privacy and checks and balances to the bare bones and now they want protection so they can continue to make really lousy decisions that have taken American rights to privacy, along with the Tech Industry, away and removed protections for our constitution.
I think instead of passing additional protection monies Congress should pass legislation that limits their term at the Supreme Court. I think that would give Americans hope their freedoms would be returned to them.
I mean. Protections? Maybe Coney-Barrett’s cult could pay for it since it is they getting what they want from her, not the American people. What is occurring with the high court is political preference, not governance.
Stare decisis is dead and they call that good practice?
I don’t care who you are or what capacity you hold in this democracy but if the power of the USA is turned against the people and their best interests things aren’t going to go well.

Cuban Blockade
The Late Senator Lindsay Graham’s Sister
I am sure she shared his love of this country and understood the way he contributed to the legislature. It is absolutely wonderful she should be among his memories and staff during a difficult time. I congratulate her. Another lady in the Senate.
Domestically the people of the USA are seeing the same type of blind aggression.
NATO can breath a sigh of relief.
The last time Mitch McConnell addressed the alliance of NATO he was one of their staunch defenders.
He needs to take his time in recovery from what is being described as a physically weak moment. He is needed to write and pass legislation that protects the alliance and funds it to the capacity where there is no doubt it is an effective member of our national security.
He looks good. That is not a misdirected smile by a confused man. Admittedly, Elaine Chao looks better than Mitch, but, that is something everyone has gotten used to over the years.
Peace and well being to both of them.
Which side is which?
The entire power playing in the Persian Gulf is out of hand.
Iran closed the strait within three weeks ago (click here) over violations of the ceasefire which was supposed to include Israel's end of violence in Lebanon.
To begin the Persian Gulf is not international waters. The USA has no particular right to even be in the Persian Gulf. Wall Street complaining is not a valid right of USA to act against another country. Profit and loss is a reality, engaging in war to put a thumb on the scale and it is called racketeering.
Iran is acting in it's own interest when closing it's sovereign waters to international traffic. It has a right to do that.
Trump is engaging in an illegal war against a sovereign authority in Iran as it is far beyond 90 days of war without the explicit act of Congress declaring war.
There are laws that govern blockades regardless of whether Trump wants to abide by it or not. Brut force is not an international permission. The USA Navy or military of any kind has no right attacking a sovereign country when it declared it's own blockade and has been enforcing it through strikes against ships in violation of it.Sunday, July 12, 2026

Mexico is trying to protect the rest of their immigrated citizens in the USA.
...According to Salgado, (click here) it seemed as though three other people were detained by federal officers after the shooting. Salgado said that one of those men was his uncle.
Araujo had been living in the U.S. for about 35 years and had been working to try to obtain legal status in the country, Salgado said.
“He did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot and killed by ICE,” Salgado said. “He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.”
Democratic Rep. Sylvia Garcia of Texas, who joined Araujo’s family at the press conference on Wednesday, said that Araujo had no criminal record. She demanded a “full,” “transparent,” and “independent” investigation into the incident....
