    The bridge issue isn't as simple as saying "She's a hypocrite!" The city requested the money and it would come from an already approved program. Objecting to the infrastructure bill isn't necessarily an objection to all federal infrastructure investment.

    The Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh: Tracing a Bullet to an Israeli Convoy

    JENIN, West Bank — The journalists thought they were safe.

    Several blocks away, a gunfight between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian men had just stopped. Hoping to interview witnesses, the group of reporters headed down the street toward an Israeli military convoy. Among them was Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American television correspondent.

    Suddenly, six bullets flew toward them, and they ran for cover. Ms. Abu Akleh crouched next to a carob tree.

    Seven more shots rang out.

    “Is anyone injured?” a bystander, Sleem Awad, yelled, before seeing Ms. Abu Akleh slumped facedown on the ground. “Shireen! Shireen!” he shouted, having recognized the well-known journalist. “Oh man, Shireen!”

    Palestinian officials said Ms. Abu Akleh was intentionally killed early on May 11 in the West Bank city of Jenin by an Israeli soldier. Israeli officials said a soldier might have shot her by mistake but also suggested that she might have been killed by a Palestinian gunman. The Israeli Army’s preliminary investigation concluded that it was “not possible to unequivocally determine the source of the gunfire.”

    I don’t think anyone is rooting for Palestinian gunmen, but the Israelis keep stepping on their junk — or, as some would say, schmeckle.

    I always worry that vlad would be happy to support a new country. I know he has his own problems, but surely he dreams of the opportunity to get a foot into texas or California?

    The GQP won't ever stop trying to subvert elections and must be destroyed.

    If Texas seceded, they would lose the US border patrol.

    Surprised the feds haven't supported a four-day work-week to ease gas consumption.

    And a lot of other services they couldn’t easily replace. SEC states are quick to blast the fedruhl guvmint. They’d never be smart enough or well resourced enough to survive the loss of that which they claim to hate.
