Ditch..

 A nine-member bipartisan group of New York City Council members is pushing for the city to ditch its "sanctuary city" label in light of increased migrant flows and violence, with a leading official. 

We have enough criminals in this city; we don't need to import more and protect them as well," Holden told Newsweek. "Repealing the laws that have created a sanctuary city status is common sense.

"Those who are wanted for heinous crimes back home or commit crimes in our country should be deported without hesitation. We aim to end this reckless social experiment once and for all."

Jockeying..

 

A jockeying between the largest stocks in the U.S. market is particularly significant this week, as Nvidia's performance could trigger a major shift in a $70 billion fund.

Currently, Apple and Microsoft each hold about 22% of the fund, while Nvidia, despite being close in market cap, holds less than 6%.

‍S&P Dow Jones Indices’ rules suggest that a similar disparity could emerge again in this rebalance. The race to secure one of the top two spots is tight, with the market caps of Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia all within $100 billion of each other as of Thursday’s close, according to FactSet.

Return..

 

The US has spent $51.2 billion in military assistance for Ukraine since Russia invaded in 2022, according to a recent fact sheet published by the State Department. 

Ukraine has received over four million shells, 400,000,000 small arms rounds, and grenades, as well as hundreds of advanced missile systems, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces, river patrol boats, and electronic warfare technologies.

Comment:

We gave $200 Billion dollars assistance in a year.

The return is 

Inflation that hit 10% in US and 20% in Europe.

Food shortage worldwide.

Ignoring urgent problems in US like US Debt, South Border Migrant, higher prices of food and energy, safety and security of the city of USA. Just a thought.

Sandbagged..

 

Hunter Biden’s hopes of getting his conviction regarding his gun charges overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court were crushed Friday as the justices upheld restrictions to the Second Amendment, legal analyst Jonathan Turley said.

The court ruled 8-1 to uphold a federal law restricting individuals convicted of domestic violence from possessing a firearm in the case, United States v. Rahimi. Hunter Biden, who a jury convicted of three counts of illegally purchasing a firearm, lost his hopes of getting his conviction overturned, as his legal team planned to argue the prohibition of drug users from owning guns is a violation of the Second Amendment.

Turley said the court’s Friday upholding of Second Amendment restrictions is a huge loss for the president’s son.

UFO..

 

The coming debate will be anything but the inflation, the economy, Migrants, and the war everywhere.  Just a thought.

Access..

The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously preserved access to a medication that was used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. last year, in the court’s first abortion decision since conservative justices overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

The nine justices ruled that abortion opponents lacked the legal right to sue over the federal Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication, mifepristone, and the FDA’s subsequent actions to ease access to it. The case had threatened to restrict access to mifepristone across the country, including in states where abortion remains legal.

The high court is separately considering another abortion case, about whether a federal law on emergency treatment at hospitals overrides state abortion bans in rare emergency cases in which a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk.

Koshary..

Koshary is to Egyptian cuisine as the pyramids are to its culture. Emblematic. Iconic. Beloved.

Also spelled koshari or kushari (those pesky transliterations from Arabic script!), it is widely considered Egypt's national dish. Rice, lentils (black or brown), chickpeas and pasta are cooked individually, then tossed together and topped with cumin-scented tomato sauce and crunchy fried onions. 

Things get kicked up a notch with condiments of garlicky vinegar and a peppery hot sauce called shatta. Heavily laden with carbs, fiber, and calories, a plate of koshary fills up even the hungriest of stomachs for just a few Egyptian pounds.  

 While no one can say for sure where koshary came from, everyone has an opinion on where to eat it.  Just a thought.
