When they rely on an engineering joint venture with Leonardo S.p.A., an Italian global high-tech company they're bound to end up with ships that find the bottom of the sea. After all, not one Italian ship remained afloat after the big war.
Not true, they had one upside down boat on exhibit in some port city. And Fiat was pretty innovative for the times. - they had one tank with one forward gear and 4 in reverse - Yanks had to chase them all the way up the peninsula.
We all knew McCabe would take aim at Trump in his book, but his contempt for Sessions is staggering. Depicts him as addled, fixated on immigrants, racist. My review of the McCabe book in WaPo https://t.co/nEMmQXvJ07
House Democratic leaders have a rebellion in their ranks. And there’s no easy way to quash it.
House Democrats have repeatedly faced surprise Republican floor attacks since taking control of the chamber, part of a bid by the GOP to target their most vulnerable members and fracture the party. Just six weeks in, the GOP effort has been an astonishing success — dividing Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top deputies and pitting members of the freshmen class against each other.
The House voted Thursday night to approve a border security deal that prevents a new government shutdown in a 300-128 vote.
The vote sets up President Trump to sign the legislation — and to declare a national emergency as a way of getting more federal funds for his wall on the Mexican border.
Such a great single point, deserves a news link of it's own: it's the "Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington" thing, stupids.
For those wondering why Ocasio-Cortez has gained such a following. This is a big reason: She displays genuine shock at Washington practices that are considered standard to insiders but are shocking a large number of average Americans. https://t.co/S9rh36dwlA
According to statistics from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, twice as many farmers in Illinois filed for bankruptcy last year. Data from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals shows farmer bankruptcies in Iowa went up 96 percent.
Farmers have difficulty managing among sinking commodity prices, China's tariffs, and increasing agricultural competition from Russian and Brazilian producers. A spokesperson for the National Farmers Union says prices will likely continue to drop for years to come because of the U.S. losing its reputation as a reliable trading partner.
Ilhan Omar needs to remember that most American Jews are Liberals who support a two-state solution. AIPAC is an organization of rightwing activists who only represent the Likud party and Netanyahu. The real force that she faces are Evangelicals. Evangelicals are actually gleefully awaiting the Rapture and the vaporization of Jews. If she can adjust her message, she can force a debate about how far the United States is willing to go in supporting Israel and the treatment of Palestinians.
But what this whole episode has mostly revealed is how insanely narrow the debate over the subject of Israel is in Washington.
