They arrested more than 200 people there. The police didn't give them the opportunity to tidy.

It's not like they all just left it that way when Israel declared a permanent cease-fire.

Nothing says Main Street quite like "former hedge fund CEO" (McCormick in PA) or "bank owner/real estate mogul" (Hovde of WI).
Who live in Connecticut and California respectively, both of which have Senate elections this year.

What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign

Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden’s policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, as well as other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel industry.

As Donald Trump sat with some of the country’s top oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago Club last month, one executive complained about how they continued to face burdensome environmental regulations despite spending $400 million to lobby the Biden administration in the last year.

Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House.

Despite the oil industry’s complaints about Biden’s policies, the United States is now producing more oil than any country ever has, pumping nearly 13 million barrels per day on average last year. ExxonMobil and Chevron, the largest U.S. energy companies, reported their biggest annual profits in a decade last year.

Joe explained that he did not want his children to “grow up in a racial jungle." He's the same Joe except he has slowed down considerably. What kind of person would knowingly allow an increase in human trafficking and death just for more votes? A lot of politicians. People would be shocked to know just how many leaders, Republican and Democrat, are willing to violate the rights of others for their own personal comfort or gain.

So are we to take it that you probably won’t be voting for Joe Biden for President?
That’s nice. Good luck.

Reclusive heir's gift to Trump's MAGA super PAC among largest ever disclosed: report

The heir to turn-of-the-century tycoon Andrew Mellon's family fortune plunked down $50 million to former President Donald Trump's super PAC.

Timothy Mellon's gifted windfall to Make America Great Again Inc. came a day after Trump infamously was found guilty of committing 34 counts of falsifying business records by a New York City jury, according to The New York Times. The donation stands as one of the largest contributions ever disclosed.

The donation is a massive infusion to a group that boasted $34.5 million in assets at the end of April and is responsible for the estimated $70 million that it raised in May, the outlet reported.


That huge groundswell of support for Trump after his conviction? It was mostly this one guy.

If Citizens United hasn’t taught us that $$$=“speech”, this should seal it.

Off topic. The topic is: "Pro-Palestinian protesters are backed by a surprising source: Biden's biggest donors."
