    We now know that James Angleton, head of the CIA’s liaison desk for Israel’s intelligence agency the Mossad, was a key player in the movement of radioactive uranium from the Apollo nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania to the Israeli Dimona plant via the subsidiary, the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation, (NUMEC). Journalist Seymour M. Hersh wrote the CIA gave millions of dollars annually to the Mossad, “but the complex amalgamation of American financing and Israeli operations remains one of the great secrets of the Cold War.” Angleton biographer Michael Holzman writes:
    “Through his control of the Israeli account Angleton had virtually a second career in the Agency, supporting operational activities quite distinct from his main counterintelligence responsibilities. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this second power base for Angleton within the CIA. It made him virtually unassailable.”
    President Kennedy Kennedy was known to be firmly against Israel developing or obtaining nuclear weapons. It might be time for senior US officials to break the taboo and begin to talk about the capability of that nuclear arsenal and the implications of it being in Netanyahu’s hands.

    Just a sample of Juan Cole's anti-Israel anti-American propaganda. (He hates American support for Israel.)

     

    From today's Wall Street Journal article on its poll:

    Title of article: Sympathy for Palestinians Grows as War Drags On
     
    "Do you think Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip in response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas have gone too far, not gone far enough, or been just right?"
     
    Gone too far: 42%
     
    Been about right?: 24%
     
    Not gone far enough: 19%
     
    Don't know/refused: 15%

    Doug,

        My take on this is that the SCOTUS punted on the issue of whether Trump is disqualified by the 14th Amendment from holding public office.

         Instead, they ruled on the issue of whether an individual state has the right to interpret and enforce the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

          Is that correct?

    From New York Times subtitle to its article on the court's ruling: The justices ruled that the 14th Amendment did not allow states to bar the former president from the ballot. The justices gave different reasons, but the decision was unanimous.

  4. From the article: In addition, through its backing of and weaponizing of Israel in these last grim months, Washington has made a mockery of the human rights talking points that the U.S. has long deployed against Iran. In the process, Joe Biden has done more than any recent president to undermine both international humanitarian law and democratic principles globally. With 94% of Arab poll respondents viewing American policy in the region as “bad,” one thing is clear: for the moment at least, Iran has won the Middle East.

    Good podcast Doug!  Napolitano could never get away with this on Fox. Biden being held to task.
    But you do trivialize it by mentioning the Biden ice cream cone incident. Here's what happened. Biden was a guest on Seth Myers show.

    With all these previous photos out in the public of Biden nonchalantly licking an ice cream cone. For entertainment value, Myers took Biden to a nearby ice cream shop. There a person unexpectedly asked Biden about the prospects of a  ceasefire in Gaza. Biden hesitated a little, (which of course make people  jeer him for being slow.) because he was wondering if he should reveal a potential  policy  direction at an ice cream shop. But he wanted to deliver something of substance so he mentions the upcoming plans for a ceasefire that haven't been  finalized, and gets a lot of heat for it. That's the story.

    Biden arranged for 38,000 meals to be dropped in Gaza today where 500,000 are close to total starvation.  He is also pushing for more bombs to be sent to Israel that will be dropped on Gaza. He boasted on Myers show that he is a Zionist, which explains a lot about him.

    Yes, Doug, it certainly seems like the SCOTUS is delaying justice for Trump.

    Apparently, they only needed four judges to accept the case.

    I'm guessing it was Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch.

     

    I read where the Supreme Court vote was 6 to 3, with the 6 being the Republicans, So, national early voting in the presidential race began yesterday with 6 Supreme Court judges casting their votes.
