Excellent points!

You have to have ID to get low income assistance, so why is it discriminating? And more white people are on assistance programs, because whites make up a larger percentage of the population. So why is it discrimination against minorities? 

Yep, very good points.  Laws in states vary and they have the legal right to set them.

Chipmaker Intel Corp. is cutting 15% of its massive workforce — about 15,000 jobs — as it tries to turn its business around to compete with more successful rivals like Nvidia and AMD.

**Of course, this means "it's all Joe Biden's fault!"

or should we say "it's all Kamala Harris' fault!"

Whatever.

S.Korea shows class

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea is ready to provide North Korea with relief supplies for damage caused by recent heavy rainfall, South Korea's Red Cross said on Thursday, marking a rare outreach under the administration of President Yoon Suk Yeol to its neighbour.

True.  The gesture of goodwill from the south is despite the north floating balloons filled with garbage over the south.

Oil prices were still lower by Monday midday.

Americans hurt in rocket attack!

A rocket attack on a base in Iraq wounded multiple US personnel on Monday, officials said, adding to already heightened regional tensions over an expected Iranian counterattack on Israel.

The rocket fire is the latest in a series of attacks targeting Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq, which hosts American troops as well as personnel from the US-led coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group.

Statistic of the week: 20 years!

USA TODAY -

That was the sentence handed down to David Nicholas Dempsey Friday for his assault on police officers at the Capitol on January 6.

Dempsey, who has a history of political violence,
attacked officers using a metal pole and a crutch.
His is the second-longest sentence for a Jan. 6
participant after Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, the former
national leader of the Proud Boys, who received a
22-year term for seditious conspiracy.

Ends day under 26 

Love that Trump is always in you guy's head's. You can't stop stalking ANYTHING TRUMP. In Honor of you guys obsession with Trump. 

U.S.-Russian dual national Ksenia Khavana, former ballet dancer, was convicted Thursday of treason in a Russian court and sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges stemming from a $51 donation to a US based charity aiding Ukraine. Ummm.......

Ksenia Karelina, 33, had pleaded guilty to the charges. She was detained in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg earlier this year while visiting her grandparents.

The verdict was announced Thursday after a closed-doors trial at Sverdlovsk regional court that ended last week. Investigators said Karelina had sent money to purchase equipment and ammunition for the Ukrainian army, RIA Novosti reported.

Karelina’s lawyer, Mikhail Mushailov, told Russian media he would appeal the verdict.

Her conviction comes two weeks after Russia and the West carried out the largest prisoner swap since the Cold War, where 24 people, including former US Marine Paul Whelan and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, were released as part of a sweeping deal involving at least seven countries.

Ahead of the verdict, Mushailov told Reuters she hoped to be included in a future swap.

“An exchange is impossible until the court verdict comes into force,” he told reporters. “After the verdict, of course, we will work in this direction.”

Karelina, a Los Angeles resident and amateur ballerina who became a US citizen in 2021, traveled to Russia in January to visit her grandparents.

Chris Van Heerden, Karelina’s boyfriend, told CNN he had bought her ticket to visit the country as a birthday gift and that she “had no fear, she was so proud to be going home… she’s so proud of Russia.”

The couple had been on holiday in Istanbul, Turkey, from which Van Heerden returned to California while Karelina flew to Russia – her first visit home in several years.

Van Heerden said Karelina never spoke about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “She doesn’t watch the news, she doesn’t intervene with anything,” he said.

The organization to which Karelina reportedly gave money, the New York-based non-profit Razom for Ukraine, said it was “appalled” by her detention.

Karelina’s conviction comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin in April last year increased the maximum sentence for treason from 20 years to life in prison, as part of the crackdown on dissent that has intensified over two-and-a-half years of war.

Her trial was held in the same court in Yekaterinburg where just last month Evan Gershkovich was convicted of espionage and sentenced to 16 years in prison, before his release in the prisoner swap. Both cases were heard by Judge Andrei Mineev.

He's down below $25 now!    

CNN confirms that anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr, has indicated his campaign will terminate their failing participation in the presidential race on Friday.

Good news, fubah2!

Most of his following were the so called "double haters" which were those who don't want to vote for Trump and also don't want to vote for Biden.

But Biden is no longer part of that equation!  To many of those, while Trump is still definitely out of the question, Harris might well be a viable option

Doors open!

Trump Media sinks to all-time low

  Trump Media tumbled another 4% on Wednesday,
          trading during the session below $21 for the first time
          since the merger that formed the company this spring.

Trump Media has lost a staggering 70% of its value since late March!

Abba, the Swedish pop group, has demanded Trump to stop using their hit songs at his campaign. Those hit songs include Dancing Queens, The Winner Takes It All, and Money, Money, Money.

Artists who oppose Trump to use their songs in his campaign, it's a long list to be exact. Former president Trump does NOT enjoy the popularity as such from many many famous artists. 

One of the artists who opposes Trump using her song in his campaign at Montana earlier of this month, is Celine Dion. Her management team has issued a statement: Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. …And really, THAT song?".

Vance is booed at firefighters union conference at Boston.  Trump claims to be pro-worker but his administration appointees are hostile to labor and tries to break federal employee unions.  Project 2025 supports undermining workers safety and overtime pay.

He'll be a liability. 

He'll be a liability.  Very unlikely to be of any real help to Trump.
