"Former President Trump’s growing criticism of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza signals a glaring break from GOP talking points backing Israel’s right to self-defense."

"In an interview with Israel Hayom last week, he said Israel made a “very big mistake” with the bombings in Gaza."

“You’ve got to get it over with, and you have to get back to normalcy. And I’m not sure that I’m loving the way they’re doing it, because you’ve got to have victory,” Trump said, without directly answering whether he was “100 percent with Israel.”

"House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that it's "absolutely true" that Russian propaganda has made its way into Congress."

"Turner joins a growing line of GOP figures speaking out about it, including House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who said Russian propaganda has "infected a good chunk of my party's base."

"Turner said there are "members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this conflict between Russia and Ukraine is over NATO, which of course it is not."

"NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is putting his legacy behind a final push to shore up international support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia."

“This is Europe coming to grips with the idea that — whether it’s Trump, or whether it’s Republicans in the House of Representatives, overstretch by the U.S. military, or whatever it might be, that Europe has got to step up.”

"The secretary-general, who will step down later this year after a decade leading the alliance, is pitching to the 32-NATO member countries a plan to establish a five-year, 100 billion euro fund for Ukraine, and for NATO to assume leadership of the U.S.-led Ramstein group, the monthly gathering of more than 50 countries coordinating weapons deliveries for Kyiv."

We all know who the screamer on the forum wholeheartedly and happily in his heart supports no matter what...

“It’s the most serious threat to the economy,” Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi told CNN in a phone interview. “Nothing does more damage to the economy more quickly than higher oil prices.”

"Moody’s published a model earlier this year that showed gas prices are a key variable in the November election, one that could tip the scales in the favor of former President Donald Trump."

“If they go above $4 a gallon for more than two or three months, Trump will win,” Zandi said.

"Attorney Alan Dershowitz, who served as an advisor on Simpson's legal defense team in the double murder trial, alongside the late Johnnie Cochran and Robert Kardashian, told NBC News that he was saddened by news of Simpson's death."

"I knew he was very sick, so I'm upset that he died," Dershowitz said. "I got to know him fairly well during the trial. It was one of the most divisive trials in American history along racial lines. He'll always be remembered for the Bronco chase, for the glove and for the moment of acquittal."

I guess he forgot about him being found civilly liable for the killings...

"A Colorado Republican state representative issued an apology after he left his loaded gun in a bathroom in the state’s Capitol building."

"The Colorado State Patrol said a 9mm Glock was left on a shelf inside a single occupancy, unisex bathroom and found by a janitor Tuesday evening, The Colorado Sun reported."

And from Rep Wilson: “I take firearm safety very seriously. This is a humbling experience and I will reaffirm my commitment to responsible handling procedures,” Wilson continued.

Figures...

MAGA Mike and the Liar-In-Chief fact checked:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/12/politics/fact-check-trump-johnson-elections/index.html

Republican speaker of the house MAGA Mike Johnson met with Donald John Trump in order to discuss, and try not to gag, "election integrity"!  

Here's what MAGA Mike did during the 2020 election:

"...he also promoted perhaps the most farfetched conspiracy theory bouncing around at the time: that two voting technology companies, Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, flipped millions of votes from Trump to Biden as part of an international plot."

“The allegations about these voting machines, some of them being rigged with this software by Dominion, there’s a lot of merit to that,” Johnson told a Louisiana radio station in November 2020, adding, that there was “a software system that was used all around the country, that is suspect because it came from Hugo Chávez’s Venezuela.”


"Johnson also claimed that “in Georgia, it really was rigged” because “the system is set up for massive fraud,” even though Republican officials oversaw three statewide tallies that confirmed Biden’s razor-thin victory and did not uncover systematic irregularities."

"He later recruited a majority of House Republicans to endorse a Trump-backed lawsuit seeking to invalidate the results from four key states that Trump lost: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Supreme Court swiftly rejected the case."

Meanwhile, Ukrainian frontlines crumble in the face of the Russian onslaught and lack of US aid blocked by the Putin caucus in congress...
