Our America in Turmoil One of the most striking tragedies of Trump's federal government shutdown is the imminent effect on food assistance programs. The food…

In fact, both Trump and Netanyahu seek to seize control of Gaza and totally eradicate Hamas under the guise of "ceasefire". Following the anticipated meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, characterised as "efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza", both parties made remarks literally irrelevant to ceasefire or peace initiatives. Trump's outlined proposal stipulates the release…
