Schumer rejects Netanyahu‘s request to talk to Democrats as Israeli leader addresses GOP

(20.03.2024)

WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke virtually to Republican senators during a closed-door meeting Wednesday and found a welcome reception.

But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declined a request by Netanyahu to address the Senate Democratic caucus, a spokesperson for Schumer said, adding: “Sen. Schumer made it clear that he does not think these discussions should happen in a partisan manner. That’s not helpful to Israel.”

Israel-Hamas war: Deadly shooting, stampede over Gaza aid kills 100+ Palestinians | LiveNOW from FOX

The Israeli military released aerial video showing an incident Thursday in Gaza City, where the Hamas-run Health Ministry reports more than 100 people were killed. The Health Ministry said Israeli troops opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians waiting for aid. Israel said the video shows there was a stampede, as Palestinians in desperate need of aid rushed to the trucks that were carrying food. As some residents moved toward Israeli troops, Israel said the troops fired warning shots and struck some residents in their legs.

Israeli troops open fire on Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza, health ministry says

Health authorities in Gaza said that Israeli fire on people waiting for aid near Gaza City had killed over 100 Palestinians and wounded hundreds more. The Israeli military later said dozens of people were hurt as a result of trampling when the aid trucks arrived and that troops opened fire at „several people“ in the crowd who posed a threat to them.

Mainstream news outlets want to end Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s primary challenge

Kennedy’s positions on many other issues also cut against the media grain. His most controversial stance is on the war in Ukraine, where he strongly opposes American involvement (though his son volunteered to serve alongside Ukrainians). Back home, he believes transgender athletes should not participate in female sports; and, at time when the media itself seems to be hiring directly out of Langley, he’s harshly critical of America’s intelligence community, and particularly the CIA, which he believes is responsible for the assassination of his uncle, John F. Kennedy.

Menstrual changes after Covid vaccines may be far more common than previously known

(July 15, 2022)

A study found that 42% of people with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after their Covid vaccination.

(…)

The new survey started in April 2021, around the time people began to report unexpected bleeding and heavier flow post-vaccine. However, these anecdotes were at the time met with the rebuttal that there was no data linking menstrual changes to vaccination.

That was both true and indicative of a larger problem. Individuals who took part in Covid vaccine trials were not asked if they experienced menstrual changes.

MSNBC‘s Joy Reid rants against Supreme Court for striking down Biden vaccine mandate: ‚Right-wing ideologues‘

MSNBC host Joy Reid was infuriated Thursday over the Supreme Court‘s decision to block President Biden‘s coronavirus vaccine mandate, launching a rant against what she called „right-wing ideologues“ occupying six of the court‘s nine seats.

During a segment of her show „The ReidOut,“ Reid declared she no longer had faith in the court, calling it a „Christian nationalist version“ of what it used to be, and suggested the justices should each have their own „right-wing talk radio shows.“

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts stresses need for judicial independence

The current court term is loaded with highly charged cases, including a direct assault on Roe v. Wade and challenges to the Biden administration‘s efforts to impose vaccine or mask-wearing and testing requirements for large employers and health care workers to control the spread of Covid. The court will hear the pandemic-related cases in a special session January 7.

Roberts did not mention any of those factors. But he said the judiciary‘s power to manage its own internal affairs „insulates courts from inappropriate political influence and is crucial to preserving public trust in its work as a separate and co-equal branch of government.“

Joe Biden‘s Build Back Better Agenda is being held up by moderate Democrats

It’s only when the ground buckles and snaps in an earthquake that we’re aware that the land had already been moving. Moderate Democrats in Washington must similarly be wondering what happened as they struggle to accept that they are no longer the dominant force in the party.

But the whole story was a sham: the only “experts” cited by NBC in support of its key claim was the firm, New Knowledge, that just got caught by the New York Times fabricating Russian troll accounts on behalf of the Democratic Party in the Alabama Senate race to manufacture false accusations that the Kremlin was interfering in that election.

Reporter Quits NBC Citing Network’s Support For Endless War

Another way to say it would be that plutocrat-controlled and government-enmeshed media networks hire reporters to protect the warmongering oligarchic status quo upon which media-controlling plutocrats have built their respective kingdoms, and foster an environment which elevates those who promote establishment-friendly narratives while marginalizing and pressuring anyone who doesn’t. It’s absolutely bizarre that it should be unusual for there to be a civilian analyst of the US war machine’s behaviors in the mainstream media who is skeptical of its failed policies and nonstop bloodshed, and it’s a crime that such voices are barely holding on to the fringes of the media stage. Such analysts should be extremely normal and commonplace, not rare and made to feel as though they don’t belong.
