Vance should be dead from now on. Can't escape his mis-management of "peace talks" and betraying Trump. Quite disgusting. Anyone but Vance--DeSantis, Rubio, Cruz come on down.

Having served in Congress for nearly four years, there are a number of Democrats I’ve enjoyed working with for the betterment of our country. @HaleyforMI is one of them. On issues big and small, she has always handled herself with class, humor, humility, and integrity. She rightly called out the vile ad that blames Jews for high grocery prices. Now @AbdulElSayed is attacking her, instead of denouncing the vile antisemitism that has fueled his campaign. @MikeRogersForMI deserves to win on Tuesday, with the strong support of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to save America from this hate filled radical.
Representative Haley Stevens is a courageous leader who deserves the respect of every Michigan voter. She has conducted herself with nothing but class since the Democratic primary, a primary where a majority of voters did not vote for her party’s nominee. She was absolutely right to call on Abdul El-Sayed to denounce the Rebellion PAC ad and she was right to call on him to apologize for espousing the same hateful ideology behind it. Representative Stevens’ statement expressed a hope that Abdul El-Sayed “had heard the deep concerns of the Jewish Community.” It is as shameful as it is disappointing that his response to her clearly shows that he does not care about those concerns.  In her statement, the Congresswoman says, “ the Jewish and African-American communities of my district deserve to have someone show up for them, rather than fight over them.” I agree with her and my campaign is about being there, showing up and defending these communities and all Michiganders.

OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE. Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival. She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said: “I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.” Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life. She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said: “I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me. I love you, Yariv. You’re the best father I could have asked for. Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Don’t forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die. Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you. My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.” When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead. With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road. “Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again,” Libi said after lying down. While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire. It didn’t stop. It kept going, until the call was disconnected. And that’s how Libi died—with demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body. Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people. Her memory will forever be a blessing. NEVER FORGET. NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW. Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre—to kill them all. They’re living on “borrowed time,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.

Two thoughts today: 1) From accounts I have read, Cornell did a serious Title IX investigation and is being unfairly impugned. 2) Maybe Saez and Zucman can return to France to join Piketty to fix their own mess and not create new ones in the US.

Even the Guardian knew the call against Balogun was bad: "Balogun was sent off for a seemingly innocuous collision with the Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic in a last-32 game on Wednesday."

Social Security Trust Fund Part 1 Imagine a child who puts earnings from mowing the neighbors’ lawns into a piggy bank every week to save up for a big purchase. However, whenever the child puts money into the piggy bank, the parents take it out t and leave an IOU note behind.

How Social Security Trust Funds Work (part 3) When the time comes to buy the bike, the child opens the piggy bank and finds it full of IOU notes from the parents. To get the money for the bike, the parents must find it elsewhere or risk deeply disappointing their child.

This is a great example of the splits that will open up in the GOP post-Trump. Vance is merely promoting the deal that Trump signed off on, and Trump has been equally critical of Bibi and Israel. But Fine can’t criticize Trump, so he singles out Vance for carrying out Trump’s policies. An example of how Trump’s policies will be hotly (but subtly) debated in the GOP come 2028, even if Trump himself is not.

Any Republican but Vance ARBV Inappropriate loser comments that sound just like Obama. He will not get my vote if he runs. I hope he does not.

Revealing that Ratcliffe and Rubio did not believe (with CIA intelligence) that the Iran would keep any nuclear promises, but Vance, Kushner and Witkoff did. Too wedded to the negotiation process, a bad sign and another reason why JD is not the future for the GOP.
