Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, could be under heavy fire for an audio recording of her alleged profanity-laced tirade towards a staffer because she is a woman of color, a new report suggests. The Houston Chronicle pondered if the representative is getting more backlash for the recording because she is a Black woman. The reporter quoted experts who said women of color have been held to higher standards than men, suggesting that if Jackson Lee was a man, she would not be on the receiving end of such backlash. Texas newspaper Current Revolt published audio it obtained of Jackson Lee...

Gaza’s genocidal war against Israel has torn the Democratic Party apart by revealing the anti-Semitic core of its dominant left wing. Axios headlines: “Biden’s 2024 team roiled by Israel-Hamas war.” Part of President Biden’s political team is in turmoil over the Israel-Hamas war, as some aides see the White House as abetting an immoral attack on Palestinians — while others believe Biden is showing “moral clarity” in protecting Israel from terrorists. … The strife within the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — which Biden is leaning on for his re-election campaign — reflects larger generational and political divisions among Democrats. Those...

While previous Israeli governments have tried to depopulate Gaza, today there is a growing momentum to carry out mass transfer—with American support. Since the October 7 Hamas attacks, Israel has sustained an unprecedentedly brutal assault on the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government has stated that its aim is to eliminate Hamas and seems to be preparing for a full ground invasion. But it is becoming increasingly clear that the war is in pursuit of a second goal: the mass expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Israeli politicians and officials from the Israeli defense establishment have called for a second...

Hey my wife and I noticed a few days back that there is almost no coverage of the Israeli war or the Ukrainian conflict in the news. It is like there are 3 or 4 topics a day released on the news and they just keep repeating them over and over.

Alas, in its 23 December 2016 edition the renowned German magazine alleged that the boast was made to a small group of his...
