Or the Palestinians can learn to live peacefully like the Irish have with their British “oppressors”.

Oh, and nothing like continuing to be the world leader in State Sponsored Terrorism despite any “treaty’s” (that were never submitted to Congress for approval)
There’s that.

Iran is certainly not an ally, but they are basically skirting the edges of the agreement.

Why don't the Israeli's lead by example and not evict people living in homes for decades and leave the water and power left on?

Duh, Iran is an enemy of the US and a state sponsor of terror in the region and abroad. Think outside the box and look at where Iraq and Afghanistan are located. Look up pincer movement and ask who the US is really fighting/containing in the region.

Don’t know. Maybe it’s because these people rain rockets on Israel. Seems there is a need to push the rocketeers out of range.

You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from January 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.”

Kinda makes you wonder....what was your most embarrassing moment? I certainly hope that tops his list.

There has to be some context issue there, but the clip I saw was crazy!

Different eyes see different things, and eyes get blinded by what the see.

Maybe they shouldn’t have printed TRILLIONS of dollars to hand out to people, many of whom didn’t need or even ask for it? My son and his wife are doing better than ever and asking “why are they sending us these checks?”

I started in banking in 1982 when you might get 18% on a CD at the bank, but would pay 22% for a mortgage. Cash was king! Serious buyers market if you had cash. The pendulum seems like it is about to swing. The people who need financing are the ones who will be hurt. Yes, those people. Did it help more than it will hurt?

The Biden admin previously halted all wall construction in Jan.

That is what happens when you come down with Foxitus:

Quote:

Melugin later deleted a tweet claiming that border wall construction had been restarted, following clarification from the Army Corps of Engineers that this was simply the rebuilding of water levees. No new border wall is actually being constructed.
