POS Don Trumpolini claims all credit for the peace agreement President Biden negotiated today between Israel and Gaza.
What a shit assed baby with terminal diaper rash.
The next four years are going to be 'interesting'. I need to haul my ass down to Negril and open a rum and ganja bar on the beach. Have seeds, will travel.

This agreement is more about Syria's al-Assad’s regime falling and Iran's loss in proxy fighters safe havens. Added too the removal of the top leaders of the resistance by Israel.

A forced delay for Trump to take the credit or is this real, not that it will be difficult to find right wing zealots opposing the ceasefire, after all their most fervent wish is to annex all Palestinian lands.
Netanyahu delays ceasefire vote, claiming Hamas created a 'last minute crisis'
Quote:
|
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a cabinet meeting that was scheduled to vote Thursday on the peace deal between Israel and Hamas has been delayed, in a blow to hopes that a ceasefire after 15 months of fighting would take effect Sunday.
|
In the interim, another twenty Gazans killed by IDF as the genocide continues.

I hope you are not going to drink that rum. That rum is next to gasoline.

There are some fine rums in Jamaica (Appleton Estate among others). That said, when it comes to distilled spirits, I drink almost exclusively single malt Scotch, good Bourbon and some Cognac.

The Tech Arsenal That Could Power Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
What was surprising to me is that these tools were developed by Biden's administration!
Quote:
|
Apps and ankle monitors that track asylum seekers in real time wherever they go. Databases packed with personal information like fingerprints and faces. Investigative tools that can break into locked phones and search through gigabytes of emails, text messages and other files.
|
Quote:
|
A review of nearly 15,000 contracts shows that two agencies — Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Citizen and Immigration Services — have spent $7.8 billion on immigration technologies from 263 companies since 2020.
|
Quote:
|
The contracts, which ranged in size, were for mundane tech like phone services as well as advanced tools from big and small companies. Palantir, the provider of data-analysis tools that was co-founded by the billionaire Peter Thiel, received more than $1 billion over the past four years. Venntel, a provider of location data, had seven contracts with ICE totaling at least $330,000 between 2018 and 2022.

Very informative and interesting news report but bound to be behind a paywall.
