Netanyahu made a huge mistake

 Qatar sent millions to Gaza for years – with Israel’s backing.

Why Netanyahu Bolstered Hamas 

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

 

So it seems for years the various governments of Bibi propped up Hamas.  So while Mahmoud Abbas was making roads and pathways towards uniting the Palestinians towards a 2 party solution, and a recognized state of Palestine.  

From the times of Israel

"""

Thus, amid this bid to impair Abbas, Hamas was upgraded from a mere terror group to an organization with which Israel held indirect negotiations via Egypt, and one that was allowed to receive infusions of cash from abroad.

Now it blew up in his face.

His response to it blowing up in his face is now, in turn, blowing up in his face.

new favorite Trump lie

My new favorite lie by the former chief.....

The former president, whenever he comes to Michigan, likes to bring up the time, years ago, when he was honored as Michigan Man of the Year. Only, it never happened as far as anyone knows. He was honored a few years before he ran for president by the Oakland County Republican Party, but it brought no "Man of the Year" award with it."

My new favorite lie until he opens his mouth again.

Republican Jesus did not save Trump

Asserting that a supernatural God intervened to save a 78-year-old presidential candidate at a rally leaves us to wonder where that same God was when children were wailing as they were hunted down in classroom after classroom during the last two decades of mass shooting events.

MTG is once again highlighting the extreme dysfunction in our legislative branch right now.  It will be interesting to see if the Democrats actually come to the rescue of the speaker, or do they let him twist in the wind like last time.  

We really need to amend our voting system in this country. The electoral college has got to go in my opinion. We need to replace it with ranked choice voting, and we need to get rid of all of the money infecting our political system right now.

these surveys are so stupid

Where do they get data like this? Who's only paying $300 a month for child care? Especially those who have to have infants cared for. This surveys are wildly out of touch with reality

Costs for day care and preschools ran higher than headline inflation in March, but parents have been struggling with this issue for years.
