Kushner being involved as he has deals with MBS is insane

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

Strange & comforting to find in your imperative the ethical goal in this mess to be - to not lose one ‘s soul, to not lose our souls.

Ricky my friend, there are millions who didn’t hear that, and only relished & celebrated the photos, bits about his life & who he is, watched and listened to his & their words during the mission, cheered when those ballon parachutes deployed…

How many times can we “obliterate “ Iran’s nuclear capabilities? How many years will Iran be “weeks away” from attacking the U.S.? How many wars can Netanyahu get us into? How many centuries will countries continue fighting religious wars? How many trillions must be spent to feed the military industrial complex?

WHY ARE WE IN IRAN?

Yeh. Turnarounds go both ways.

FLEISCHER: “Republicans in the house now own the blame for delays at the airports”

Ivanka and Melania will be so angry the guys didn't let them join in.
