Once Again, Biden Slips By Congress On Weapons Sale To Israel
Health care for Americans? Forget it. Weapons for genocide? No problem.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.
The State Department said Friday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had told Congress that he had made a second emergency determination covering a $147.5 million sale for equipment, including fuses, charges and primers, that is needed to make the 155 mm shells that Israel has already purchased function. …
VACATIONING LIKE CLARENCE THOMAS: Biden Staying Again For Free At Billionaire’s St. Croix Home That Would Normally Rent For More Than $6K

President Biden arrived Wednesday in the US Virgin Islands for another free vacation at the home of wealthy supporters — after prior gifted stays drew criticism from ethicists, including for his failure to disclose the munificence on annual forms.
The 81-year-old president is expected to stay six nights at the three-bedroom beachfront home of Bill and Connie Neville, whose secluded St. Croix retreat typically operates as a VRBO rental.
Biden’s habit of vacationing for free — and then not disclosing so on annual ethics forms — has drawn unflattering comparisons to trips taken by conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with real estate billionaire Harlan Crow, who had no known business before the court.
First lady Jill Biden, granddaughter Natalie and possibly other members of his family will join the president at the lush villa — which offers an in-ground pool and picturesque views of the Caribbean Sea and an offshore island.
Biden stayed at the same home last year over the New Year’s holiday and also didn’t pay a cent — drawing outrage because he had given the Nevilles tickets the same month to his first state dinner as president, which featured a heavily curated list of about 300 billionaires, cultural icons and politicians to welcome French president Emmanuel Macron.
The Nevilles, who could not be reached for comment, have loaned the home to Biden in prior years dating to his vice presidency and have noted the fact on advertisements for the property. …
Biden Poll Numbers Tank, So Here’s The Question…
The Guardian reported Saturday on Biden’s poll numbers: “He enters the new year with a 34% approval rating, according to a recent poll by Monmouth University, the worst of any modern-day president seeking re-election.”
So here’s the question: How could they possibly be that high?
Looking pretty "cold" there, Uncle Sam, standing in his own pool of piss.
I think that Biden's approval poll numbers aren't "34%" but "3 to 4%". That makes more sense. But who are these idiot 4%ers who actually approve of him?
