Bribem Promises To Put Together A 'Major Package' For Palestinians Whose Homes Were Destroyed In Fighting With Israel
What a crock of shit...
Words can't describe how stupid Bribem is! Let Iran put together a 'major package' for the Palestinians! It was Iran who provided Hamas with the missiles. He also announced we're going to pay to rebuild Israel's Iron Dome.
So Hamas started this, Israel retaliated, and the American taxpayers get the bill for billions of dollars?

President Joe Biden said there had been no shift in his position on Israel despite this week urging the Israeli military to de-escalate strikes on Gaza as he came under pressure from members of his own party to do more to protect Palestinian human rights
* President Joe Biden said he was ready to work with other nations in helping Palestinians rebuild homes flattened by Israeli strikes
* ‘They need help,’ he said, so long as Hamas does not have ‘the ability to rebuild their weapons systems’
* Biden also underlined U.S. support for two-state solution to Middle East conflict
* ‘I’m praying this ceasefire will hold,’ he said at White House press conference
* He said his party’s stance had not shifted despite his calls on the Israeli military to de-escalate its strikes on Gaza
* He said peace would not be possible until region acknowledges ‘the right of Israel to exist as an independent Jewish state’
President Biden promised to help Palestinians who lost their homes during 11 days of Israeli strikes on Gaza as he offered prayers Friday for a ceasefire to hold.
During a press conference to mark the visit of South Korean President Moon Jae-in, he insisted he remained committed to Israeli security.
But he struck a careful balance between both sides as he announced plans to help Palestinians in Gaza rebuild their lives so long as Hamas militants, who rained rockets on Israel, were not able to rebuild their armaments.
WNU Editor: There are hundreds of thousands of Americans who are homeless and living in American cities, but the White House will spend money to build homes in Gaza.
You just cannot make this stuff up.

You don't get much for 2 trillion anymore
Louisiana senator (R) John Kennedy
Video 627
I love this guy. Hard to believe his name is John Kennedy!!!
He comes across as 'Country bumpkin Andy Taylor’ but he's smart as a whip.
"We're going to spend over $2 trillion how much will that lower the temperature?”
2 Trillion and he can't answer the question???
BTW...How many trillions is China and India, two of the worlds biggest polluters, going to contribute?

Well if this doesn't assure Newsom's recall nothing will
California plans early release for 76,000 prison inmates -- including violent felons
The number includes nearly 20,000 inmates who are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole
So when Kathryn Steinle was shot by a convicted felon who was deported five times that wasn't sufficiently despicable enough to learn from their mistakes? We can only imagine what's going to take place in the near future.
Who are Democrats looking out for... illegals and convicted felons over the American people. There is no two ways about it!
Now you know why people are leaving California in droves.
-----------------------------------
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With little notice, California on Saturday is increasing early release credits for 76,000 inmates, including violent and repeat felons, as it further trims the population of what once was the nation’s largest state correctional system.
More than 63,000 inmates convicted of violent crimes will be eligible for good behavior credits that shorten their sentences by one-third instead of the one-fifth that had been in place since 2017.
That includes nearly 20,000 inmates who are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole.
More than 10,000 inmates convicted of a second serious but nonviolent offense under the state’s "three strikes" law will be eligible for release after serving half their sentences. That’s an increase from the current time-served credit of one-third of their sentence.
The same increased release time will apply to nearly 2,900 nonviolent third strikers, the corrections department projected.
Also as of Saturday, all minimum security inmates in work camps, including those in firefighting camps, will be eligible for the same month of earlier release for every month they spend in the camp, regardless of the severity of their crime.
The changes were approved this week by the state Office of Administrative Law, with little public notice. They were submitted and approved within a three-week span as emergency regulations.
"The goal is to increase incentives for the incarcerated population to practice good behavior and follow the rules while serving their time, and participate in rehabilitative and educational programs, which will lead to safer prisons," department spokeswoman Dana Simas said in a statement.
"Additionally, these changes would help to reduce the prison population by allowing incarcerated persons to earn their way home sooner," she said.
She provided the emergency regulations and estimates of how many inmates they will affect at the request of The Associated Press, but the department otherwise made no public announcement.
Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation that represents crime victims, said the notion that the credits are for good behavior is a misnomer.
"You don’t have to be good to get good time credits. People who lose good time credits for misconduct get them back, they don’t stay gone," he said. "They could be a useful device for managing the population if they had more teeth in them. But they don’t. They’re in reality just a giveaway."
The inmate population has dropped by more than 21,000 from the roughly 117,000 in state prisons before the coronavirus pandemic, though partly because about 10,000 prison-bound inmates have been held temporarily in county jails.
Officials announced in mid-April that they will close a second prison as a result of the dwindling population, fulfilling a promise by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
California Correctional Center in Susanville will close by July 2022, while officials announced last fall that Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, east of San Francisco, will close by this October.
The trend continued when voters in 2014 reduced penalties for property and drug crimes and two years later approved allowing earlier parole for most inmates.
Republican state Sen. Jim Nielsen, who once headed the state parole board, criticized Newsom for this time acting unilaterally.
"He’s doing it on his own authority, instead of the will of the people through their elected representatives or directly through their own votes," Nielsen said. "This is what I call Newsom’s time off for bad behavior. He’s putting us all at greater risk and there seems to be no end to the degree to which he wants to do that."
"This is what I call Newsom’s time off for bad behavior. He’s putting us all at greater risk."
Newsom faces a recall election this fall driven in part by those upset over his handling of the pandemic, including sweeping orders that shut down the economy for months.
But many Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups have been calling for further releases or shorter sentences. Californians United for a Responsible Budget, for instance, earlier in April said the state should shutter at least 10 more of its 35 prisons.
