Kennedy calls out Democrat who blocked his push to end senators' pay during shutdown: "I'll be back"

Kennedy is being generous that all these Senators earned that money, it’s highly doubtful they did without investing in companies that senate passed in their committees, that’s how Pelosi got so rich.

One of them should pass that no one in the house and senate sitting on a committee to approve companies that get contracts with the government can invest in the stocks of a company getting those contracts.Senator Kennedy is trying to be kind, but he knows they all cheat, by knowing they have access to investments that Americans cannot invest in

Respectfully, they are all so greedy they will never forgo their salaries during a shutdown.He knows they will never approve, not taking a salary during shutdowns, but he’s exposing this perverse benefit to Senate members because they voted that in themselves

Someone should put that as a mandate this be voted on by America, so they cannot get a benefit regular Americans cannot get.

Supreme Court sounds skeptical of late-arriving ballots, a Trump target

(It’s actually an American citizen target, it’s against the law and they know it’s cheating.

Actually they should be outraged.). (1/2)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday soundedskeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots(this is how stupid the SC is), a persistent target of President Donald Trump.

The court heardarguments in a case from Mississippi that also could affect voters in 13 other states and the District of Columbia, which have grace periods for ballots cast by mail. An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be impacted. (The request doesn’t apply to the overseas military, this is how AP lies in all their articles)

A ruling is expected by late June, early enough to govern the counting of ballots in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.

The court challenge is part of Trump’s broader attack on most mail balloting, which he has said breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and years of experience in numerous states.

Several conservative justices gave voice to some of Trump’s complaints.Justice Samuel Alito wondered about the appearance of fraud in situations where “a big stash of ballots” that arrive late “radically flipped” an election.

Defending the state law, Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart pointed out that theTrump administration and its allies in the case have yet to submit a single case of fraud due to late-arriving mail ballots.(if its known and possible states will do it. And seriously how are they going to get past ballots proving it. At least if the law is on the books, the politicians can’t do it.)

The court’sliberal justices indicated they would uphold state laws with post-Election Day deadlines.

“The people who should decide this issue are not the courts, but Congress, the states and Congress,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor said. (Which she knows they won’t, it doesn’t just help democrats but they both do it.)

Forcing states to change their practices just a few months (9 months dumbass) before the election risks “confusion and disenfranchisement,” especially in places that have had relaxed deadlines for years, state and big-city election officials told the court in a written filing.

California, Texas, New York and Illinois are among the states with post-Election Day deadlines. Alaska, with its vast distances and often unpredictable weather, also counts late-arriving ballots.

Lawyers for the Republican and Libertarian parties, as well as Trump’s administration, are asking the justices to affirm an appellate ruling that struck down a Mississippi law allowing ballots to be counted if they arrive within five business days of the election and are postmarked by Election Day.

Justices worried over the slippery-slope problems that could arise no matter who wins the case. (WTF that sounds more ruiculous than a minor change!)

Ballots could be received until the start of the next Congress, two months after the election, Justice Neil Gorsuch suggested.

On the other side, Justice ElenaKagan said the logic of the challenge to late-arriving ballots also would be used to rule out early voting and absentee ballots.

Limits on early-voting also seemed to bother Chief Justice John Roberts, who seemed the conservative member of the court most likely to side with Mississippi. (That’s stupid because they did not challenge early voting. Either the reporter is retarded or the court is!)

The court also grappled with whether state laws allowing for late-arriving ballots from military and overseas ballots could survive.(they didn’t mention military because the soldiers are not responsible for the delivery.)

Last year,Trump signed an executive order on elections that aims to require votes to be “cast and received” by Election Day.The order has been blocked in pending court challenges.

At the same time, fourRepublican-dominated states — Ohio, Kansas, North Dakota and Utah — eliminated grace periods last year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures and Voting Rights Lab.

The issue at the Supreme Court is whether federal law sets a single Election Day that requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.(For all centuries except for the last 5-10 years always had that rule.)

In striking down Mississippi’s grace period, Judge Andrew Oldham of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that the state law allowing the late-arriving ballots to be counted violated federal law.(most of all judges appointed by Trump, hate Trump, so that has nothing to do with their stupid decision.)

Oldham and the other two judges who joined the unanimous ruling, James Ho and Stuart Kyle Duncan, all were appointed by Trump during his first term.

(The libs including Roberts on the SC, are reaching with retarded arguments to not allow Trump to stop cheating in elections)

Trump administration, energy developer announce end of U.S. offshore wind projects

The announcement marks the latest blow by the administration against the U.S. offshore wind industry. (1/2)

HOUSTON —The Trump administration reached a nearly $1 billion agreement with French energy giant TotalEnergies on Monday to cancel its offshore wind leases off the coasts of New York and North Carolina.

The announcementmarks the latest blow by the Trump administration against the U.S. offshore wind industry, particularly in theNortheast, after it faced a series of recent legal losses.

“The era of taxpayers subsidizing unreliable, unaffordable and unsecured energy is officially over,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told reporters at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston.

As part of the agreement, the Interior Department would terminate the leases for TotalEnergies’ Attentive Energy and Carolina Long Bay projects, worth $928 million, the department said.The lease sales occurred during the Biden administration.

TotalEnergies committed to invest the value of those leases into oil and natural gas production in the United States, after which the United States will reimburse the company dollar-for-dollar for the amount they paid for the offshore wind leases, the department said.The company is poised to redirect the funds towardthe Rio Grande LNG plant in Texas and the development of upstream conventional oil in the Gulf of Mexico and of shale gas production, according to the Interior Department.

Burgum and TotalEnergies signed the agreements Monday from the conference.

President Donald Trump has often attacked the U.S. offshore wind sector as unreliable and expensive. He’s repeatedly said he plans to have “no windmills built in the United States” under his tenure.Still, the settlement would suggest a new tack by the administration to target the sector. The Trump administration previously issued stop-work orders for offshore wind projects currently under construction on the East Coast, but judges lifted all five orders earlier this year.

“Considering that the development of offshore wind projects is not in the country’s interest, we have decided to renounce offshore wind development in the United States, in exchange for the reimbursement of the lease fees,” TotalEnergies Chair and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said in a statement.

Pouyanné previously said the company would halt development of the Attentive Energy project, off the New Jersey and New York coasts, following Trump’s return to the White House.

Both the Attentive Energy and Carolina Long Bay projects were in the early stages of development.

Pouyanné told reporters that the company continues to invest in solar, onshore wind and batteries.

The deal is a major blow for New York’s offshore wind targets, although proposed projects in the lease area controlled by TotalEnergies and its partners never secured final contracts with the state. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) called the prospect of a deal “not helpful” last week.

Attentive Energy dropped out of a bidding process for deals with New York in October 2024, even before Trump’s election.The state concluded that process last month with no awards amid the federal uncertaintyand officials have struggled to determine next steps for the industry writ large.

Hochul has pivoted to an “all of the above” energy strategy in the face of Trump’s opposition to offshore wind— including nuclear and fossil fuels.

Further delays to the development of the technology off New York’s coastwill likely further the state’s relianceon repowering fossil fuel plants to serve the New York City region.

The deal also leaves New Jersey without any workable offshore wind projectsat a time when Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill is already searching for more clean energy to combat a regional power crunch.

The project was supposed to provide more than 1,300 megawatts of power.

Sherrill’s predecessor,Phil Murphy, had lofty ambitions for the industry that were all for naught. His administration approved a series of offshore wind projectsthat all ran into financial or permitting challenges.

The state approved Attentive Energy’s project in early 2024 as part ofan attempted reset of the industry, which was already facing woe.

The new affront could also prove problematic to permitting reform discussions on the Hill, asDemocratic lawmakers have linked progress on those negotiationsto whether or not the administration continues its attacks on renewable energy.

ClearView Energy Partners said in a note last weekthe deal could also “re-raise concerns about the durability of federal approvals and therefore further erode, but not eliminate, the thin opportunity for bipartisan permitting reform on Capitol Hill.”

So far, Senate Environment and Public Works ranking memberSheldon Whitehouse(D-R.I.) is staying the course on permitting talks, despite reports of the settlement agreement last week — a development he derided as “just more selling out the public for the fossil fuel industry.”

His office did not immediately provide further comment Monday. Some Moderate New York Republicans last week also criticized the reported settlement.

(A REAL EXAMPLE OF ISAREL’S GRATITUDE. FINALLY BIBI AND ISRAEL ADMIT THEY WERE ALWAYS GOING TO DO THEIR THING. TRUMP AND THE U.S. WERE THEIR FUNDERS, THE THOUGHT. BOO HOO). (1/3)

ANALYSIS'THIS WAS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.'

As Trump steers away from war with Iran, Israel rediscovers cost of riding with him

For third time in a year, the president wants to cut adeal that ends fighting before Israel is ready.

Now Netanyahu has to make sure regime truly cannot get to the bomb, andthat Hezbollah doesn’t get off the hook as well

The White Househas repeatedly sounded a simple but effective message:Trust the plan.KEK

The slogan — with ostensible origins in the.QAnonconspiracy theory movement — has been applied to a range of issues. In January, the Labor Department posted a photo of US President Donald Trump saluting, with the caption Trust the Plan. Trust Trump.==

After prominent antisemitic podcaster Tucker Carlson visited the Oval Office in January, a White House official told Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum,“Just trust the plan.”Q?

It was also the approach that Israelis took toward the president on most issues. Trump and his advisers — especially top envoySteve Witkoff— might occasionally have said things that confused Israel and even undermined its interests,but they trusted that he was a president who could distinguish good from evil, and was not about tobe pushed around by Iran and friends.(Jews complaining when No Other President in the world would help them)

Trump’s decision to unleash an all-out bombing campaign against IranalongsideIsrael seemed to confirm the wisdom of putting trust in the US leader. Sure, Trump might have engaged in direct talks with Iran,but, they reasoned, he saw right through their attemptsto prevaricate and delay and embarked on a war that could damage him politically because he knew it was right.

Trust the Plan.KEK

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu certainly acts like he fully trusts Trump. In a press conference last week, he lauded “the wisdom and the courage of President Trump’s decision, and his leadership, and the fact that we’re working together.” (Note: there is no way this article came outwithout Bibi backing it and approving it.As they try to insinuate they was naive, it’s obvious Bibi doesn’t want to be quoted personally, because he’s such a fucking snake)

“America is not fighting for Israel. America is fighting with Israel for a common goal: to protect our future, to protect civilization against these barbarians,” Netanyahu said.

They might not be fighting together for long.

After delivering a seemingly unequivocal deadline to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday,Trump seems to have equivocated.

In a bombshell announcement Monday,Trump revealed that his administration has been engaged in “productive” talks with Iranregarding a “complete and total resolution” of hostilities, leading him to postpone his pledge to bomb Iran’s energy sites.

He followed that up by claiming that theUS had effectively achieved “regime change” in Iran because so many of its leaders are dead.

Israelis who had trusted the plan now fear there is no plan and wonder if Trump can still be trusted.

It seems thatJerusalem was caught off guard by the announcement from the mercurial president.

As of 4:30 p.m. Israel time, hours after Trump dropped his bombshell,Netanyahu and his office had yet to formulate a public reaction. Just theday before, the IDF saidIsrael expects to fight for “several more weeks” to achieve its goals in Iran, indicating that evenif it knew the US was talking to Iran, it did not think the negotiations would go anywhere.

“This was always a possibility,” said Israel’sformer ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren.

There are precedents over the past year for Trump accepting a hasty deal that solves nothing in order to extricate himself from a situation,even if it leaves others in the lurch.

In May, Trump came to a surprise deal with the Houthis in Yemen that simply returned the situation in the Red Sea to the status quo before the seven-week-long bombing campaign. The agreement ended attacks on US vessels, but allowed the Houthis to keep shooting at Israel and others using the waterway.

Israeli officials told Hebrew media outlets at the timethat Washington did not give Jerusalem advance notice of the announcement, and thatIsrael was surprised by it.(oh like Bibi showing up without notice 7 times at the WH in the last year? Like that Bibi?)

That deal, not surprisingly, was negotiated by Witkoff and brokered by Oman.

At the end of the 12-day June war, Israel promised to “forcefully strike the heart of Tehran” in reaction to an attack that broke the fresh ceasefire.Trump’s response was to berate Israel and publicly force it to turn its planes around.

With the war weighing on Trump’s political prospects and his economic agenda, his domestic allies had been pushing for an exit strategy. At thesame time, key US partners in the Middle East, such as Turkey, hadstepped up efforts to find a diplomatic way out of the fighting, creating a ramp that could work for Trump,even if not for Israel.

“I’m worried,” said American Enterprise Institute senior fellow Danielle Pletka.

“There will be a temptationto pull an Obama and.run for the hills prematurely,” she said, referring to the 44th US president. “On the one hand, the president has the right principles and goals, on the other, he’s facing internal and external pressure to allow the regime to continue, to punt the problem to another president.”

Now Netanyahu has to clarify whether it can still strike Iran, and whether Trump is insisting that Iran stop firing at Israel during the five-day period he set aside for talks.

Netanyahu also has to do all he can now to ensure that Israel’s core interests— stopping Iran’s nuclear program, its production of ballistic missiles and its support for Hamas and Hezbollah — are addressed in a potential ceasefire agreement. (Boohoo Bibi you took on more than you can chew. Well you can’t really kill all of them in a short war, can you?)

He also has to keep his eye on Lebanon. There is a distinct possibility that Iran will insist that its strongest proxy, Hezbollah, survives as well.

Even though Israel is gearing up for a major ground operation against Hezbollah, which has resisted disarming under a previous ceasefire deal,Trump could overrule those plans as well.The same Middle Eastern allies who have been pushing Trump to stop the war in Iranare also trying to forestall an Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

“We have no choice with Iran, but with Lebanon, we can’t,” said Oren.“Lebanon is an existential issue.”

The US-Israel alliance, like the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, reached new heights with the joint campaign against Iran.But it came with a clear price.

As long as Israel crafted a plan with Trump, it was never really Israel’s plan at all.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-trump-steers-away-from-war-with-iran-israel-discovers-cost-of-riding-with-us/

As Tulsi and Ratcliffe said. Trump and Bibi had two separate missions, but now Bibi and Israel are pissed that Trump doesn’t want to kill everyone on the Mideast.
