Middleboro Review and so on

  A hard-fought pause in violence has unfortunately done little to abate the suffering in Gaza, as bombs continue to fall and the ceasefire agreement hangs on by barely a thread. Days ago, Israeli military strikes across Gaza killed 104 people — including 46 children, some of whom were burned alive as they slept.[1] The violence marked the deadliest days yet since the October 10 “ceasefire” began — and the horrors continue to be carried out with U.S.-made weapons. In the past two years, the U.S. government has sent $21.7 BILLION worth of military aid — combat capable aircrafts, attack and transport helicopters, tens of thousands of bombs, missiles, and bullets — to the Israeli government, plus arms sales worth tens of billions of dollars more in future weapons deliveries.[2]   The Netanyahu government is using these weapons to undermine the ceasefire at every turn and jeopardize the lives of millions of people across the region.

  BY  IAN WARD NO ONE IS REPORTING tRUMP'S DEMENTIA! TONIGHT’S VIEWING  — It was an eventful day for President Joe Biden’s embattled campaign as a handful of new House Democrats called for him to drop his reelection bid today, bringing the total to more than a dozen. A closed-door Senate meeting with top Biden aides  didn’t appear to quell the fears of many skeptical Democrats  about the president’s path to victory. This evening marks an even more critical moment in his bid to shore up support — at 6:30 PM ET, Biden is scheduled to hold a rare press conference. CBS, Fox, NBC and ABC are all expected to break away from scheduled programming to carry the event.
