Easing into the weekend with a little MAGA and some savings for the taxpayers.

"... A funding freeze could be seen as a slap against the organization..."

Well, Gee Whiz. Really? Really, Really?

Pretty sure I’m starting to feel tired from so much winning. Should probably take a break and let others catch up.

Pass me that baton, ‘cause I ain’t in NO WAYS tarred!

[Socon-Econ]

Not good enough. There needs to a complete end to all funding.

[Enterprise]

Not good enough. There needs to a complete end to all funding.

Let's hope it's just the beginning.

Maybe a lock on the cookie jar will bring about change in the Pali leadership’s position. Or just a change in the leadership.

Imagine the head explosions in certain quarters if Trump is the POTUS who secures a Mideast peace.

“The Israeli security establishment and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories — the Israeli organization that oversees government activities in the West Bank and Gaza — are concerned about possible freezing or cutting of U.S. funding to UNRWA, fearing the escalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”

No crisis. Leave. I’m sure Israel and the US would provide a nice stipend for each family to move to either Egypt, Jordan or Lebanon. Maybe let them go to Sinai and give them a homeland there.

Cut off the money flow and they will be crying for mercy. Just like cutting the money off to your college student who spent more time partying than studying.
