Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff.

Arabs from Awarta attempted to burn down the grave of Elazar Hacohen (Ahrons' son) located in their village.
Question: If they are the "real Jews", as some people online here claim, why are they burning down an ancient Jewish grave?

THE SON-IN-LAW IS NO WITKOFF!
This time, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and key adviser, was absent from the American delegation. Officially, his absence was attributed to a seasonal illness.
However, according to this account, the real reason behind the diplomatic maneuver was a September meeting at the Kremlin, where Kushner and Putin had a heated confrontation. When the Russian leader spoke about the imminent capture of Donbas, Kushner sharply objected: “With all due respect, you told us exactly the same thing a year ago. What are the chances that we will come back here in another year and you will tell us the same thing again? Maybe we shouldn't waste another year?”
Moreover, raising his voice, Kushner reportedly delivered an extremely harsh rebuke: “You are simply stalling for time and feeding us illusions while your country is slowly sinking!”
Behind Jared Kushner’s supposed “illness,” the account alleges, lies a serious split within Trump’s own team. Witkoff favors a “flexible approach” and concessions along the line of contact, while Kushner has taken a much tougher position, demanding immediate guarantees from Moscow regarding Donbas. This disagreement reportedly culminated in the September confrontation with Putin.
To avoid jeopardizing the summit and the delivery of the so-called “Norwegian package,” Trump allegedly decided to temporarily remove his son-in-law from direct contact with the Russian leader, entrusting the face-to-face diplomatic negotiations to the more accommodating Witkoff.

So, in a roundabout way, the problem with Vivek is indeed that he's Indian and that he's Hindu. He's not fit to govern Americans. He doesn't "get" or agree with our culture, no matter how hard he has studied the federalist papers.

For guys who are fixated on being on the right side of history, they sure do love being on the wrong side of the most morally clear-cut conflict since Kosovo.
Cenk: My view of the war guys is that while it made sense in the beginning to help the Ukrainians… this war is over, the Ukraine has lost, and so you can say ‘oh no, that hurts my feelings, I don’t want Ukraine to lose’—I agree, I don’t want Ukraine to lose, it drives me crazy that Russia may be able to keep some of their ill-gotten gains from their invasion. And, and so at the same time I’ve seen what happened to the Palestinians, so once you’re on the losing end of that leverage it never gets better… your situation deteriorates, and gets worse and worse and worse, you lose more and more land, more and more territory, more and more power, and then you have to make a worse deal, right? So as painful as it is, uh, you sometimes have to take the best option out of very bad options. So if I’m advising the Ukrainians, let alone American… on the issue of financing the war forever apparently, right? I would tell the Ukrainians get to the negotiating table, make as good a deal as you possibly can, and then look to rebuild your own country and eventually these borders will be meaningless at some point anyway… so… stop losing these lives, you have a country… and, and please maintain of it as much of it as you can today because the Russians have so many more people, let alone weapons, let alone resources. Ukraine’s not gonna be able to win this war no matter how much we finance it. Yes, part of the mission of the Americans was to bleed the Russians dry, but now we’re bleeding ourselves dry.
Ana: 100%.
Cenk: So let’s end the war, get the peace, and save lives on both sides.

A central aspect of civil rights movement politics is that as racist as northern white opinion could be, northern whites genuinely did not approve of Jim Crow and basically never did.

ICJ ad hoc "judge" Navi Pillay is tipping the scales on the ICJ’s current proceedings on Myanmar, intending to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians. Pillay: We see your agenda and we'll be watching the ICJ’s handling of these proceedings very closely. As our actions against the ICC demonstrate, we will not allow globalist, faux-judges to weaponize the law against our troops, undermine our sovereignty, or put American lives at risk.
The Nobel Committee has disgraced itself by awarding the Peace Prize to Pillay. What a shameful choice to "honor" someone who represents an "international community" with a leftist, globalist, antisemitic agenda.
President Trump is showing a better way, by actually ENDING WARS, bringing hostages HOME, and making PEACE.

Lana Nusseibeh may be one of the only diplomats in the world who could get through the Security Council under present circumstances. She comes from one of the few countries that effectively talks to everyone.
She also happens to be one of the most experienced & effective diplomats of the last decade.
An Emirati from a Muslim family that has held the keys to Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre for centuries, she would be only the second Arab & the first woman ever to lead the United Nations.
I am standing to be Secretary-General because I believe this is a moment to act with greater urgency: to act earlier, bring people together across difference, and drive the work forward until it produces concrete results. That is how we rebuild trust in the United Nations and ensure it delivers meaningful change for the people it exists to serve.

The new VoteHub/Verasight poll shows a decent margin for Brown, but he’s still at 47.5%, not 50%.
Among likely voters choosing neither candidate, the two-party generic ballot favors Republicans 72% to 28%. Similar voters broke against Brown late in 2024.

The idea that a "one-time" mass confiscation of on-paper wealth won't serve as an impetus for capital flight is a take so detached from reality that only an academic could have it.
This Hoover Institution study, which has fueled the deluge of ads (more than $200 million spent by billionaires so far) to defeat the California billionaire tax, is spectacularly misleading.
Let me explain its crucial flaw. 🧵

Iran is now betting on America’s midterms to constrain Trump. That may prove a miscalculation.

Why would the bond market be skeptical of Argentinan bonds for defaulting on its bonds once?
Replying to @gabriel_zucman
The key problem is this:
Why would billionaires permanently leave California in response to a one-time tax owed if they lived there on January 1, 2026?
It would only make sense for them to leave if the tax becomes annual.
But if the tax becomes annual, it would also generate revenue annually — by virtue of, well, being annual.

Gabriel Zucman declares it methodologically fraudulent to assume any billionaires would leave California in response to a "one-time" retroactive 5% tax of their wealth. He cannot conceive that they may assume the tax would be repeated later. <facepalm>
