U.S. poised to send $1 billion in weapons to Israel, sources say https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-weapons-transfer-1-billion/ The Biden administration has informed Congress that it intends to transfer $1 billion in weapons to Israel, two congressional sources confirmed to CBS News Tuesday. Congress will need to approve the transfer. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the news. The move comes days after the U.S. withheld shipments of certain munitions to Israel, and President Biden said in an interview with CNN that the U.S. would further curtail weapons shipments if Israel broadened its ground offensive to include civilian population centers in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. "We are continuing to send military assistance, and we will ensure that Israel receives the full amount provided in the supplemental," National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday, referring to a recently signed funding package that includes about $14 billion for Israel's defense.

(AP) — Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker railed against Pride month along with President Biden’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his stance on abortion during a commencement address at Benedictine College last weekend. The three-time Super Bowl champion delivered the roughly 20-minute address Saturday at the Catholic private liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, which is located about 60 miles north of Kansas City. Butker, who has made his conservative Catholic beliefs well known, began his address by attacking what he called “dangerous gender ideologies” in an apparent reference to Pride month, which has been celebrated in June since the Stonewall riots in 1969. He also criticized an article by The Associated Press highlighting a shift toward conservativism in some parts of the Catholic Church. The 28-year-old Butker then took aim at Biden’s policies, including his response to COVID-19, which has killed nearly 1.2 million people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,” he said. “The bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.”

Someone said grant and Danny (I don't listen) relayed that since Leonsis and rubenstein are friends they can come to an agreement to resolve the masn issue. I hope this would be the case but baby steps first.

The UConn kids are skyrocketing up draft boards spare me Castle (not offensively gifted enough) or Clingle Sarr, the other French kid. that is it. nobody else

i forgot today was the primary day so last day of those incessant Trone - Middlebrooks ads Just pick a D and go face off against Hogan already. And enough of this "DAVID TRONE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO CAN BEAT HOGAN" why can't Angela do it? Whatever, no more ads. Hopefully the WV governor primary ends today too because those trans ads are all over the tv now lol

that redskins logo thread in the commanders reddit is a total cluster ****

It's not a guarantee but the sheer notion of the Nats actually being able to be seen in the area is very enticing. Factor in Leonsis/ willingness to keep star talent and it's a no-brainer.

Reminded again how bad reddit is with all the downvoting and angry mobs

The MASN deal is already close to resolution anyway and without malcontents up north one would hope a more reasonable Rubenstein would be willing to sever ties and assign the Nationals their own TV rights finally. And what better place to put them than Monumental Sports Network, a channel most people already get for Caps and Wizards games.

he would instantly be better than the lerners and wow... Nats games that people can actually watch on TV?

I'm alarmed it's taking this long to reach a ceasefire. We had one briefly but that's long gone now, and Israel even proposed one a few days back but Hamas denied it as usual

"Clingan is good in the paint" yeah well so is Sarr if Atlanta takes Sarr and they very well might pass on him then snatch him up immediate.

I don't get the appeal of Clingan or Castle. Why should we draft them, because they won rings on stacked teams? Dan Hurley won't be coaching them in DC. Why bother. Sarr or the other French kid. No other option.

Both sides can be **** Hamas instigated it but Israel is going overboard I just hope we can reach a truce soon I'm tired of violence

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/10/opinions/us-election-isnt-playing-out-how-i-thought-zakaria/index.html When President Joe Biden made clear that he was going to run for reelection, I had a sense of what his election strategy was and thought it was an intelligent path to victory. After the chaos of Covid-19 and the administration of former President Donald Trump, Biden would stand for normalcy and a rising tide of good economic news. Trump would divide Republicans, with significant chunks of the party wishing that someone like former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be their nominee. Meanwhile, Trump would unite and motivate Democrats, allowing Biden to focus on independent voters in the swing states that threw the Electoral College to Trump in 2016 and to Biden in 2020. I have to admit, none of this is playing out as I had thought. Trump is now leading in almost all the swing states, and behind those numbers lie even more troubling details. As someone worried about the prospects of a second Trump term, I think it is best to be honest about reality. I understand that polls are not always accurate, but in general they have tended to underestimate Trump’s support, not overestimate it. I doubt that there are many shy Biden voters in the country. Perhaps the most worrying new trend for Democrats is that far from being the more unified party, they are now bitterly divided over the war in Gaza. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has said the eruption of pro-Palestinian protests could be “Biden’s Vietnam” and even invoked the specter of President Lyndon Johnson choosing not to run for reelection in 1968 because of the public opposition to that war. The analogy is farfetched — America was itself sending hundreds of thousands of troops to Vietnam, with more being recruited from college campuses every week. But there is no denying that the party seems more openly divided than it has been in decades. Only 33% of Americans say they approved of Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, which is criticized both by people who think he is too soft and people who think he is too hard on Israel.

No one lives forever, no one. But with advances in modern science and my high level income, it's not crazy to think I can live to be 245, maybe 300. Heck, I just read in the newspaper that they put a pig heart in some guy from Russia. Do you know what that means?

He's more tolerable than anyone in the DC market right now. (Pat)
