And a FOX News team who thought we could start a war, betray the voters, and not destroy the Republican Party, again.
Thanks Team Neocon!
I know, let's nominate Rubio!

Why is the @StateDept denying entry to a Christian priest and a Christian pastor, especially known for promoting peace? This is outrageous.

Outrage in Germany after it became public that a Syrian migrant with 3 wives, 32 children and 25 grandchildren, with 70% of the entire family having a criminal record, receives €100,000 a year in welfare.
Sounds like Australia

“Hey folks, so I completely destroyed the economy and you are going to be poor. I’m really sorry about that. Maybe we can do better next time. Anyway, I have a dinner reservation in an hour and I need to go. Bye.”

"Chicago loses its third chief financial officer in a year after she said staying in the job would destroy her integrity"
Ashlee Gabrysch, 42, left her role after just three months in a move that has shocked many in the Windy City.
"The Chief Financial Officer’s statements about city finances are not idle chatter: they are relied upon by investors, ratings agencies, City Council, and taxpayers. The CFO must act scrupulously to ensure they are always accurate and complete."
"It has become apparent, however, that to continue in this role would be to compromise my integrity and professional obligations. I therefore have concluded that I must step down from my role, and hereby tender my resignation."

Another investor- fueled homebuying operation showing signs of trouble.
Interesting
Invitation Homes' earnings continue to show softness in the SFR rental market. Renewal rent growth remains positive at +4.3% lease-over-lease, but new lease rent growth is still mildly negative (-0.2% lease-over-lease), a sign that pricing power on new move-ins is soft
Giant SFR landlord Invitation Homes wholly owns around 86K single-family rentals

"It All Comes From The Israelis": Joe Kent Reveals What Happened When He Told Trump About Iran Intel zerohedge.com/political/it-a…

🇮🇱🇺🇸 While America was staring at grounded planes, Israel's spy chief was in Washington pushing to restart the Iran war
Every departing flight in the country sat on the tarmac today, and the cameras were all pointed at airports.
Meanwhile Mossad director Roman Gofman, one of Netanyahu's closest confidants, was meeting CIA chief John Ratcliffe, with a stop in Miami to see Witkoff next, according to Axios.
This comes days after that reported shouting match on the phone, where Trump refused to resume the strikes.
So what do you do when the president tells you no?
Apparently you send your spy chief to work on his staff, on a day when the whole country is distracted.
What a coincidence right?
