Price..

 

Kamala Harris said that she will fight price gouging by businesses.....

Same thing said before by President Biden, here it is:

I won't stop fighting to lower costs by taking on price gouging, capping drug costs, and building more homes.

Everywhere..

 

Charges..


Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz has announced charges against Scott Chiang for criminal possession of numerous weapons. Court-authorized searches of locations in Queens Village and Port Washington revealed 18 illegal firearms, including ghost guns and assault weapons, as well as high-capacity magazines and gun manufacturing tools. Chiang, a former FBI agent, is currently an EMT and leads the Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of New York.

DA Katz highlighted the dangers posed by ghost guns and stated that her office will persist in eliminating illegal firearms. According to the Attorney’s Office, confiscated weapons would otherwise have posed a threat to communities had they not been intercepted.  Just a thought.

Calculate..

 

The killing on Thursday of the Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the principal architect of the October 7 attack on southern Israel, offers a golden opportunity for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare victory and begin pulling troops out of Gaza after mre  than a year of fighting.  Most likely, nothing will change, because 

Netanyahu’s calculation is no mystery. Should he leave political office, he faces a criminal-corruption trial and a probable inquiry into the security meltdown on October 7. He has apparently concluded that the best way to stay out of prison is to stay in power, and the best way to stay in power is to keep the war going—specifically, the war in Gaza. The battle against Hezbollah in Lebanon is too volatile, and involves too many other actors, including the United States, Iran, and Gulf Arab countries, for Israel to keep control of its trajectory. For this reason, Lebanon is much less useful than Gaza.

Bait..


 Joe Biden’s insistence that he is the Democratic nominee for president and won’t be forced out of the race appears to have stemmed public Democratic defections — at least for now.

Biden laughed said: “If the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that,” later adding, “The Lord Almighty’s not comin’ down. I mean, these hypotheticals, George.” Speaking to George Stephanopoulos about quitting the race.

A thing..

 

Joy..
