Before a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Federation launched into space a device with components of a nuclear anti-satellite weapon

Sources claim that it is the Cosmos-2553 satellite. It does not carry nuclear weapons, but US officials say it carries non-nuclear components of a new Russian weapons system.

This weapon will allow Moscow to use a nuclear explosion to destroy hundreds of satellites in low Earth orbit

“People think we’re sending a big check to Ukraine,” Gregory Hayes, CEO of RTX, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “The fact is what most of that money will do [is] support American defense industries here in the U.S.”

The five largest U.S. defense companies — Lockheed Martin, RTX, General Dynamics, Boeing and Northrop Grumman — had Department of Defense contracts totaling more than $118 billion in fiscal year 2022, according to the Congressional Research Service.

World renowned Israeli Jewish historian and political scientist IIlan Pappé posted on his Facebook that he was detained, questioned and had his phone copied on Monday at Detroit airport.

You know the Israelis, their enablers and supporters are in panic mode when they resort such actions.

Hm, bei #Trump in den #USA, sicherlich.--Aber ist das Verwenden von #Wahlkampfkostenerstattungen und #Wahlkampfspenden (welche steuerbegünstig sind) in #Deutschland überhaupt zulässig.

Seit ettlichen Jahren ist es steuerrechlich nicht mehr möglich (ich meine sogar auf EU-Ebene) Geldbußen von der Einkommenssteuer abzuziehen bzw. sie als Aufwand oder Werbungskosten zu buchen bzw. deklarieren?

Leider konnte ich bei einer kurzen Recherche zu #DE nichts finden. Ich gehe davon aus.

A message from Canadians to US citizens:
Dear US,

As the smoke from our wildfires continue to pollute your air and many of you struggle to breathe please think about this:

If you chose to abstain from voting or do not vote Blue, your air quality will continue to worsen because Trump will increase the use of and development of fossil fuels which will increase our wildfires.

Thanks for listening.
Breathe easy today.

“For Biden, the only good Jews are Zionists – those who support Israel and its settler colonial project. But what about the rest of us? We Jews who reject a conflation of Judaism and Zionism? We Jews who say never again and mean never again for everyone? We Jews who are calling for a free Palestine and an end to Israel’s occupation?”

Don’t be fooled - Biden is the real antisemite

Don’t be fooled by Joe Biden’s recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.

There's been some talk #Trump choosing #Rubio as his VP would have issues because they are both from the same state (Florida), but it's hard to believe the #SupremeCourt #Republican males would allow courts to intervene even though the text (and well accepted understanding) of the Constitution prohibits Florida electors from voting for both of them. They would just make up something, like they did for the 14th amendment Insurrection Clause. #scotus #usa #2024Election
