Be assured that the Israelis have since ever known that they need to rely (mostly) on their own resources and resourcefulness. Hamas will need a couple of generations to recreate and replace a division of 1500 dead gouls. In the mean time they will have to work hard on replacing their own homes.

The $4B+/yr from my wallet begs to differ.

The PAS positions.

There are colorable arguments that the president isn't an officer (and/or at least for 14th Amendment purposes).

It of course hasn't yet been litigated, and will depend on how a certain group of five people feel. (Assuming they hear a challenge on the merits, which isn't guaranteed.)

Appointments aren't elected, though. She specifically said "Senate confirmed elected officials." As far as I know it's one or the other, but not both.

Dayhm. That's a list. You could get a hand cramp signing all those. No wonder the appointment process takes so long. And so many opportunities for quid pro quo / familial ties / friends / special "freinds" / friend of a friend.

when youre on national tv and make fun of joe biden for calling the hubble telescope the web telescope and are doubled over with how funny it is without realizing theres a very famous james webb telescope

Fox News host Laura Ingraham acknowledged her mistake in mocking President Joe Biden’s reference Monday to the James Webb Space Telescope, having seemingly been unaware that a telescope by that name exists. In his remarks at the White House, Biden had mentioned the Webb telescope in the context of his executive order designed to combat the potential negative consequences of artificial intelligence. “Did he call it the ‘Webb telescope’? Isn’t it the Hubble? Is he thinking of Webb-Hubble? I don’t understand,” Ingraham said, bursting into laughter. Shortly after, the Fox host cleared things up. “There is a Webb telescope that I didn’t know about,” she told viewers. “I stand corrected by Joe Biden.” Since its launch on Christmas 2021, the telescope—which is more advanced than the much older yet still active Hubble telescope—has captured a stunning array of images of the solar system and points beyond.

Good Lord. She didn't know about the Webb telescope.
