Ali VelshiEvidence presented in the case of al-Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital, falls short of showing that Hamas used it as a command & control center, according to Washington Post analysis of open-source visuals, satellite imagery & publicly released IDF materials https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/21/al-shifa-hospital-gaza-hamas-israel/
Augie RayTrue story: Weeks ago I posted that I told my brother and SIL that we wouldn't see them for the holidays. We had plans to see them today, but after they posted about a holiday dinner at a restaurant and a crowded sports event, we told them we were canceling. So (and you know where this is going), today they told us they both got COVID-19. It's their first time (that they know). I told them (kindly) they weren't being careful, they (of course) ignored me, and now they're sick for the holidays. 😢

"The World Health Organization pleads for immediate reversal of Gaza evacuation order to protect health and reduce suffering.
A mass evacuation would be disastrous—for patients, health workers and other civilians left behind or caught in the mass movement."

“Do I really need to wear a mask forever in a hospital or doctor's office?!?” is the new...
“Do I really have to wear a seatbelt for every car trip, no matter how short?”
or
“Do I really have to stop smoking in my own office at work?!?”
or
“Do I really have to stop drinking the water from the Broad Street pump?”
No one ever welcomes new rules and practices that keep us safe. They always reject them--until they stop and adopt the sensible rules. #COVID19

Charlotte ClymerIt requires a 2/3 majority vote to expel a member of the U.S. Senate — if Menendez refuses to resign, Sen. Schumer should move for his immediate expulsion. The message needs to be crystal clear: Democrats don’t tolerate corruption.
Anne ApplebaumThe majority of Americans continue to support Ukraine, want the US government to continue military and financial aid to Ukraine, recognize that Russia has genocidal policies in Ukraine and want Ukraine to defeat Russia.
TV people! Please stop asking Zelensky (and me, and everyone else) about what happens when Americans will "get tired" of Ukraine, and ask them instead to explain why support for Ukraine continues to hold, which is more interesting and rather remarkable
We all know that the GOP always accuses the Democrats of whatever it is they are guilty of.
Take the Biden impeachment inquiry. The real corruption we should be investigating is by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, whose private fund received $2 billion from the Saudis. Republicans want to distract from that by accusing Joe Biden of corruption, without any evidence, because his son Hunter made money from foreign sources.
Every accusation is a confession. That’s how we know that there is much for them to hide when it comes to Jared Kushner. You can tell by how desperate they are to claim the Biden family is corrupt.
