White nationalists say they are against foreign and military aid to Israel, which has averaged about $3.8 billion annually since 1950
According to Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes, who agree that Trump broke their hymen, being anti-Israel just means you are educated. Being pro-Israel means you are a moron.
For the tax write-off you idiots

Musk can extract the $44 billion price tag for tax loss purposes and relaunch the thing as the everything platform he keeps talking about.
This reminds me of the incredulity of Wall Street over Powell's relentless increases to the Federal Funds Rate. He telegraphed it repeatedly months in advance and then raised rates incrementally and said he would keep doing so, but they would not believe, and still do not.

Florida has been the left's target since the pandemic began because it was an early adopter of lockdown skepticism under DeSantis
Newsom is just full of it, as usual.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, dumbest Democrat politician alive, walks into French Laundry door . . . again
Newsom: “You were a lockdown Governor… you locked down your beaches bars and restaurants… that’s just a fact. He’s running away from his record.”
DeSantis: “He’s imposed restrictions on his own people while exempting himself from those restrictions and going to the French Laundry while his people were suffering.”

Core pce inflation, which excludes food and energy measures, is still high at 3.5% year over year in October 2023, down 0.2 points from September or 5.4%
Price increases at 3.5% instead of 3.7% year over year. This level remains outside of most people's experience since the late 1990s.
The broad measure fell to 3.0% from 3.4%. The energy goods and services component yoy has been negative, that is deflationary, for eight months in a row. The food component was up 2.0% year over year in October but is now in its tenth month of declines out of twelve on a year over year measure monthly.
Declining energy input costs have been the story behind declining inflation measures overall, primarily natural gas which is twice as important to the U.S. economy as gasoline on a BTU basis.
The Biden administration's green energy policy is at war with the reason for the happy circumstance of declining inflation measures it finds itself in, and Biden could be sailing to re-election if he were instead supporting fossil fuel production, which would slay the inflation dragon dead.

The Financial Times lol: Liberal democracy good, conservative democracy bad
Is The Financial Times' coverage worth a pound sterling?
Politico: Northampton County Pennsylvania touchscreen voting machines in 2019 election had reliable paper backups, but not in 2023
The 2019 election was the first time Northampton used the touchscreen voting machines from Election Systems & Software. That year, a programming glitch caused the ES&S machines to significantly undercount the votes for the Democratic candidate in a local judges’ race. Then on Nov. 7 this year, Northampton residents who showed up at their local polling station found that printouts from the same devices didn’t match the votes they had submitted digitally for two down-ballot judges contests. ... “In 2019, when the issues came up with the touchscreens, we were told, ‘Don’t worry about it. The cards are recording the votes,’” Northampton County Republican Committee Chair Glenn Geissinger told POLITICO. “OK, you’re telling me now, in 2023, ‘Don’t worry about what’s printed on the card?’”

Hamas wing at Pennsylvania's Dickinson College goes after Democrat Senator John Fetterman for his unqualified support for Israel
Pennsylvania is home to a large Jewish population. Philadelphia, the state's largest city, has the fifth largest Jewish population in the country, according to the Center for Israel.

The article twice says amusingly that Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was "censored".
She wasn't. She was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for what she freely said.
It is unclear from the story whether Mireille Rebeiz, Chair of Middle East Studies and Associate Professor at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, actually said censored or censured. It is possible she is not correctly quoted. It is also possible she doesn't understand English that well.
Hard to say!
In any event, Newsweek's headline is over the top: "John Fetterman Faces Revolt in Pennsylvania". It's one crank at a college, to which you probably shouldn't send your kid.
The real headline is: Dutch Muslims not afraid of Geert Wilders' big win because Dutch system means he will have to compromise
Muslims in shock over anti-Islam party's Dutch poll win :
"In part the message is that many people are xenophobic and don't want foreigners or Muslims. But another message is that people are very disappointed in 13 years of Rutte," [one Muslim] said. ...
"He will not make the laws alone (other parties) will join and they have to cooperate," Kemal Yildiz, 54, said. "It will be fine," Yildiz added.
