Hey, Mossad, Looky Here. Easy Peasy.
Boxes full of classified U.S. government documents weren't the only items that improperly wound up at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate after he left office, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported Tuesday. Unlike with the government secrets, though, it isn't clear how antiquities belonging to Israel ended up at Trump's Florida club, or whether Trump even knows they are there. Efforts by senior Israeli officials to retrieve the national treasures have so far been unsuccessful.

The hammer is droppin' on the Trumpublican Crime Syndicate.

Crow’s lawyer argues that Congress has no authority to probe the GOP donor’s generosity and that doing so violates a constitutional separation of powers between Congress and the Supreme Court.

Racism On Display In The House of Representatives

A first-term Republican lawmaker referred to African Americans as “colored people” on the House floor Thursday, prompting outrage from Democrats and a quick rebuke from the chamber’s presiding officer.

Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) was reprimanded after he took to the floor to promote an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that he says will rein in Defense Department “wokeness” — a racially charged concept that has divided the parties and the country in recent years.

DeSantis Wants Former Casino CEO To Be President of Florida Atlantic University. Let Me Repeat That, A Former Casino CEO.

The state will launch a formal investigation into Florida Atlantic University’s presidential search, rejecting the university’s request to end the matter quickly and increasing speculation that the ultimate goal is to place a political ally of Gov. Ron DeSantis into the role...“Of course, the whole process has been politicized. Of course, it’s going to be a return of New College. Of course, DeSantis is going to get what he wants because that is what’s been happening,” predicted State Rep. Kelly Skidmore, D-West Boca. “FAU is trying to do the right thing, but I feel strongly they will acquiesce to the pressure and they will appoint Randy Fine. I have no doubt at some point that will happen.”

Anti Vaxxers Need To Be Outlawed

Mississippi is starting the court-ordered process of letting people cite religious beliefs to seek exemptions from state-mandated vaccinations that children must receive before attending day care or school.

Mississippi is one of the poorest states and has high rates of health problems such as obesity and heart disease. But it has received praise from public health officials for years because it has some of the highest rates of childhood vaccination against diseases such as polio, measles and mumps.
