Ukraine is continuing to defy LIEden's, ummm, request, that they not attack Russian oil production and storage facilities:

Unlike LIEden, they realize that tanks and IFVs (of various types) and weapons systems (self-propelled or towed) need fuel, making Russian oil production and storage facilities important military targets. No fuel, no move.

Now that being Jewish is considered to be a degrading trait, how much longer will Joy Behar keep her affected Jewish identity?

Behar is literally Hebrew. It means "of - in - or on the mountain. It is a real Hebrew name which a Roman Catholic "Josephine Victoria" picked up from one of her husbands. Which is fine if she wants to be a fake Jew. But now that being a Jew is no longer mainstream fashionable, how much longer will she keep the name.

Bipartisan House trio launches ‘Dog Lovers Caucus’ in jab to Kristi Noem incident

Three House members are launching a new caucus dedicated to their “shared love of dogs” in response to “recent dog-related events,” a hint at the revelation that Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) killed her 14-month-old puppy, Cricket.

Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Nancy Mace (R-SC), and Susan Wild (D-PA) announced the formation of the Congressional Dog Lovers Caucus, which will be an “informal, bipartisan group” dedicated to loving dogs for the “companionship, friendship, family, and health benefits” that they provide.

The caucus plans to hold events on Capitol Hill for fellow House members and staff, according to a press release sent Thursday.

“Dogs are the only thing on earth that loves you more than they love themselves,” Moskowitz said in a statement. “Their joy to live brings together Americans from all walks of life and can help nourish bipartisanship in Congress.”

Tie the border bill to funding elsewhere. It is done all the time in Omnibus spending bills. All sorts of stuff gets packed into those.

Okay, I'll play.  Attached to what?   We tried attaching it to Ukraine/Israel aid, and the Democrat response was "fine, we won't get any aid to Ukraine or Israel."  So that failed.

Or should they have tried attaching it to the continuing resolution as a whole, and just stopped the whole government?  Because that was threatened too, except the problem was that GOP members of the Problem Solvers Caucus said they wouldn't support a shutdown over that issue, so the votes weren't there.  That's what happens when you have a razor-thin majority - it isn't just a small handful of conservatives who have power, but rather every handful of moderates as well.

Why prosecutors in Trump’s hush money trial are telling the jury about all of their star witness’s flaws

Michael Cohen, former President Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer and a key witness in his hush money trial, has quite a few detractors in the New York courtroom.

Prosecutors have been contributing to skepticism about their star witness by highlighting personality flaws and his alleged wrongdoing. Those prosecutors, jurors, and even the judge in the case have criticized Cohen’s actions. It may not make sense that prosecutors are using him as a critical cog in a machine that aims to convict Trump on 34 felony counts and could be undermining the former attorney’s credibility at the same time.

But it’s intentional.

Prosecutors are hoping the jury dislikes Cohen enough to reflect those feelings as a “boomerang” effect against Trump, who once called him a “very talented lawyer.” They are trying to put Cohen in a frame on their own terms — before the former president’s team can do so and discredit the prosecution’s calling of him as a witness.

Lawyer: Michael Cohen whined about not getting a role in Trump White House: 'I’ve saved that guy’s ass so many times'
By Ben Kochman

Michael Cohen whined over the phone that Donald Trump still owed him $130,000 for paying porn star Stormy Daniels — and griped that he was stiffed on a spot in Trump’s White House, Daniels’ lawyer testified.

“Jesus Christ, can you believe I’m not going to Washington?” attorney Keith Davidson recalled Cohen saying during the Dec. 9, 2016, call.

Davidson also told jurors that Cohen ranted about not yet being paid back for the payoff to Daniels.

“I’ve saved that guy’s ass so many times, you don’t even know,” Cohen added, according to Davidson.

“That f--king guy’s not even paid me the $130,000 back,” Cohen said, referring to the Daniels payoff, Davidson said.

Attorneys for Donald Trump said on Thursday the sweeping gag order against their client in the New York hush money trial bars the former president from defending himself.

“Judge, last weekend, last weekend, President Trump’s rival, President Biden, said in a public forum — he talked about this trial, and he talked about a witness that’s going to be in this trial. He mocked President Trump,” Trump attorney Todd Blanche said, referring to President Joe Biden‘s speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday.

“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it ‘stormy weather,'” Biden said during his speech.
