I'm starting to think Biden will be a one term President more and more. I don't think Trump will beat him, but I think DeSantis probably will. For various reasons, the people that elected Biden in the first place are slowly abandoning him, according to polls.

It looks that way in a snapshot taken today, but after Trump wins his party's nominations and the spotlight settles on him, Americans will be reminded why they voted in record numbers to kick him out of office. DeSantis won't be a factor in next year's general election unless Trump drops dead between now and then, and even this I'm not sure he'd win his party's nomination.

They're in this position because those who came before them acted in good faith towards what's best for their union members. Milking it dry would be the polar opposite of that; they'd be pulling the ladder up behind them.

The United States will not share any Israeli intelligence or elaborate on its own intelligence assessment that Hamas used Gaza's Al Shifa hospital as a command center and possibly as a storage facility, White House spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday.

The United States is confident in an assessment from its own intelligence agencies on Hamas activities in the Gaza facility, Kirby said. He has refused to elaborate or provide details over the past several days.

The Biden administration has not declassified the sources of the U.S. intelligence "because some of those same channels are being used to monitor the status of hostages," a knowledgeable source said.

The intelligence "is definitive," said the source, and includes communications intercepts of Hamas fighters. The intercepts were first reported on Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.

Nevadas attorney general is investigating six Republican electors who submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election, a person with knowledge of the case said Wednesday.

It was not immediately clear if the ongoing probe was a criminal or civil matter. But the probe adds to official scrutiny of fake electors in several swing states won by President Joe Biden in 2020, including investigations in Georgia, Michigan and Arizona. Fake electors were charged in Georgia and Michigan, and Trump faces charges both in Georgia and in a federal investigation of his conduct related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4309288-moskowitz-comer-tense-exchange/

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee James Comer (R-Ky.) got into a heated exchange Tuesday.

During a hearing focused on oversight of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Moskowitz referenced a loan that President Biden made to his brother, which the committee has been looking into as part of the probe into Bidens family finances. He said Comer has gone on Fox News and told people that, while the president was out of office, he had a loan with his brother, and in a way, they were evading taxes.

It has come out in the public, that you also do business with your brother with potential loans, Moskowitz continued. And so, since you have framed that and manipulated that with the American people, that Joe Biden did something wrong when he wasnt in office, I just would like to know if you would like to use some of my time

I would love I would love it, Comer retorted. You retweeted that story, completely false. Ive never loaned my brother one penny. My father, who was a dentist, had some farmland. He died, and my brother couldnt afford he wanted to sell it, but he wanted to keep it in the family. So, I bought it from my brother. That story that you tweeted, also said I had a shell company. That is bullshit.

You look like a Smurf, here, just going around and all this stuff, Comer at one point said to Moskowitz, seemingly referencing his blue suit and tie.

We are right on every issue; the Democrats are wrong on every issue, Good proclaimed. Thats why they frantically cling to abortion as the only issue that they think may work for them, and in some cases it has demonstrated that it does.

Part of the problem is that we surrender and we default to the media narrative, the lefts narrative that this is a loser for us, he continued. We need to be unflinchingly, unapologetically pro-life. I think when you have moderation, you have tepid, vanilla, benign statements on the issue of lifeif youre trying to talk about 15-week bans that only effect less than 10 percent of abortionsI think what that does is that demotivates our base. Its not inspirational. It suppresses turnout in red states, and it leads to us losing elections.

A lot of people don't differentiate. A child molester and someone with a few ounces of pot are both "criminals" and the Tough On Crime crowd doesn't usually dig past that. "Criminals" deserve what they get, so the beatings and rapes have become an acceptable and even expected aspect of "justice".

Daniel Terry Williams, 22, was serving a one-year sentence for assault and theft charges as part of a plea agreement, and he was set to be released on Nov. 9 the same day he died, according to Jefferson County court records and his family. He had only been at Staton for about two weeks following a transfer to the Elmore, Alabama, correctional facility, when he was allegedly beaten and sexually assaulted.

The warden also allegedly told Bostic that Williams had been hospitalized due to a drug overdose on Oct. 22, she said.

Bostic said she and Terry initially thought their son had "gotten into something bad" at the prison after Bostic's call with the warden, but when they arrived at the hospital where the 22-year-old was receiving treatment, they were shocked at what they discovered.

"He was black and blue from head to toe. He had restraint marks on his wrists. He had indents, almost, in his head from being beaten," Bostic recalled. "So, my husband, Terry, called the warden and said, 'Why the helldid you tell me my son died of an overdose when it was obviously an assault?' And the warden said it's under investigation, and that's all we've heard from them since."

The Justice Department sued Alabama over the condition of its prisons in 2020 after a federal investigation revealed that "Alabama violated and is continuing to violate the Constitution because its prisons are riddled with prisoner-on-prisoner and guard-on-prisoner violence."

I know "think of the criminals" isn't an easy sale to voters in this country, but something's got to be done about the state of our prisons (particularly in problematic states like Alabama).
