Hamas, in an apparent effort to undermine the work of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), appears to be publicizing aid deliveries to Gaza — accompanied by armed gunmen — to argue against GHF’s work.

Wages and salaries rose 0.4 percent in May, extending a run of solid monthly gains and continuing to outpace inflation, according to Commerce Department data released Friday.

Johnson said he had spoken with his Senate counterpart, Majority Leader John Thune, in the “last 20 minutes.” Already time is running tight for Republicans. With the Senate not expected to start debating the bill until Saturday at the earliest, the House might not get the bill until Sunday. Johnson…
Choosing a military solution over a negotiated one in dealing with Iran is is a throwback to US unilateralism and regime change policies The US seems to have learned no lessons from the post-Cold War phase of its unilateralism and regime-change policies in the Middle East.

President Trump on Friday responded to a huge Supreme Court win in the battle against nationwide injunctions.

Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. It had to do with…
