War Powers..

 

President Joe Biden’s decision to strike the Houthis in Yemen is reigniting the long-simmering congressional battle over war powers and it's become a rare point of consensus for progressives and hardline conservatives.

While the action had support on the Hill — military hawks and many conservatives praised the strikes, with many calling them overdue — a significant swath of both the left and the right quickly condemned the Biden administration for not seeking an explicit green light from Congress. 

They argued it's a requirement under the War Powers Act. Those factions have long aligned on curtailing sprawling war powers and military operations across the world over the past two decades.

When it comes to war, there is no one responsible for the death and the destruction of poor countries poor people's lives in the Middle East. Iraq, Syria, Libya,  and now Yemen.

Former Trump staffer Michael Roman, who faces seven charges in Georgia, filed a lawsuit presented without tangible evidence alleging that Willis "engaged in a personal, romantic relationship" with Wade and "personally benefited from" the alleged affair, meaning she acted "to defraud the public of honest services."

The Willis-Wade relationship must now be addressed by the district attorney, Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote in a legal filing earlier this week. 

Willis must submit a written response by February 2 to allegations that she "engaged in a personal, romantic relationship" with Wade, which will be followed by an evidentiary hearing on February 15. 

Willis has not acknowledged or denied the allegations.

Willis' attorney, Cinque Axam, filed a motion to stop Willis from being forced to testify by subpoena in the divorce of Nathan and Joycelyn Wade on January 23, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Citizen..

 

Germany is reforming its citizenship law, streamlining the procedure to get German nationality. Dual citizenship will also become an option. Germany is set to make dual citizenship easier, as well as naturalization for non-EU citizens.

The new citizenship plans boil down to these changes:

Immigrants legally living in Germany will be allowed to apply for citizenship after five years, rather than the current eight; if they bring special achievements to the table, this may be reduced to just three years.

Children born in Germany of at least one parent who has been living legally in the country for five or more years will automatically get German citizenship.

Immigrants above the age of 67 will be able to do an oral instead of a written German language test Multiple citizenships will be allowed

People living entirely on state support will not be eligible for German citizenship. 

German citizenship will be denied to people who have committed antisemitic, racist, xenophobic or other defamatory offenses that are seen to be "unreconcilable with commitment to the free democratic basic order." Deutsche Welle. Just a thought.

Yemen remains one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. In 2023, a staggering 21.6 million people require some form of humanitarian assistance as 80 percent of the country struggles to put food on the table and access basic services.

During the presidency of Barack Obama, the United States began providing Saudi Arabia with critical support to "sustain" the Saudi Arabian–led intervention in the Yemeni Civil War,^[1] later expanded during the presidency of Donald Trump.^[2] 

This support included logistical and intelligence aid.  Joe Biden vowed to halt U.S. support for the war, though U.S. arms sales to the coalition have continued.

Now the US and Coalition, we are always stick them in, to bomb a poor country's people because they are, terrorists, or just bad people. No alternatives here but Bombing.. 

Just a thought.

Ironic.

 

Nathan Wade’s ex-wife claims he filed to divorce her just one day after he was hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis – his alleged paramour – to be the lead prosecutor in the Georgia election fraud case against former President Donald Trump, according to court documents filed.

Wade then immediately moved to have records related to the breakup sealed by the court handling the proceedings, Joycelyn Wade alleged in a 19-page filing with the Cobb County Superior Court.

Nathan Wade and Willis have been accused by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman of having an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship that Roman argues is grounds for having criminal charges against him dismissed.

Roman’s bombshell filing accused Nathan Wade — a private attorney with Atlanta-based Wade & Campbell — of using some of the nearly $654,000 in legal fees he’s raked in from the Fulton County DA’s Office for his work on the Trump case to take Willis on lavish trips.
Willis is also accused of hiring Wade to help prosecute the Trump case despite him not being properly qualified or experienced in handling criminal matters.
