The amendment passed on Tuesday bars the government from ceding Israeli sovereignty over any part of Jerusalem without approval of at least 80 of the legislature’s 120 members. The law itself can be overturned with a simple majority, however, making it largely symbolic. …

Yeah, “hamstring”. I wonder how long ago we might have had a journalist that actually believed what was written in Zechariah 14:2?

The Confederate states had, as a goal of Reconstruction, resumption of their representation in Congress. The Palestinians on the West Bank have never had representation in the Knesset, and I doubt that they ever will.

After eight years of the ‘Bamster, maybe it isn’t too late to save civilization.

Around the world, the forces of good are finally on a roll.

The Palis, Norks, and Iranians respond only to the certain infliction of force. Go President Trump!!!
