I surmise that the proliferation of those "Beltway Bandits" owes a lot to the convoluted processes employed by the Feds. I had my own long, arduous process of trying to land a job with one of those firms myself: this was in the late 00's after I had failed in my attempt at getting the GPO job and after I had been "let go" by the workplace with the long, long commute. I remember salivating at the houses for sale in Herndon, VA, which compared favorably to the prices of my own corner of the Northeast. Alas, the Beltway Bandit firm for which I sought employment lost the contract it wanted me to help support - and worse, it became the subject of some sort of TV expose. Two years later, the Bandit company that had taken over said contract again advertised an identical opening - for which I actually drove to Virginia and sat for an interview, to no avail. Complicating matters, my exwife and I were older parents who believed in the need for one stay-at-home parent: That need and the decent salary of my distant employer made the arrangement possible, before I crashed and burned. Yes, I too write for a living ... still do, as a freelancer. True, I have never been a woman (I'm one of those in the tribe that believes you really cannot - though I once had a transgender boss who was very interesting and kind... oops, people will recognize me). From years working in one of what have been called "the soft professions" I would quibble with your description of women's opportunities in said fields. The unit where I labored consisted of about three-fourths women, they held all the managerial posts, and they created a surfeit of HR complaints in a department where people might otherwise be glad to have well-paid employment for being creative. We guys, the worker bees, just sat back and watched it all happen. I saw much the same composition among people working in HR and procurement. Moreover, for my entire professional career, beginning in the 80s, women were mentored and men weren't. This was, of course, my own narrow experience in a set of discrete workplaces, but in retrospect, I would have been much better suited as a guy to have followed my late Dad's advice: Become an accountant.
Well... This tests our understanding of the 1st amendment. But this is America and they are free to say whatever as long as they take responsibility for what they say and don't call for violence in America. Sticks and stones... remember?
At the closing session of the People’s Conference for Palestine on May 26, 2024 in Detroit, Nadya Tannous, the general-coordinator of the Palestinian Youth Movement said: “We will not be distracted by […] a tiny concession – because we want the whole thing. It would be a dishonor for our people to accept anything less than that.” The crowd chanted that they will return to Safed, Jaffa, Acre, Haifa, the Galilee, Lod, and Ramle.
Ju-Hyun Park of Nodutol for Korean Community Development said that “the DPRK has never once recognized the Zionist tumor that goes by the name of Israel.” Park, who uses the pronoun ‘they,’ added that PFLP founder George Habash received training in Pyongyang. Mohammed Nabulsi of the Palestinian Youth Movement said: “They tell us they want us to say democracy. We want to save our people. To hell with their democracy!” Manolo De Santos, the founder and executive-director of The People’s Forum Participants, which purportedly has financial ties with the Chinese Communist Party, said: “We have to bring down this empire with one million cuts
Not only is she physically ugly but she is ugly inside. I wonder why she didn't accuse Hamas of war crimes including taking hostages. Oh that is right, it is acceptable for Hamas to do war crimes.
How do immigrants to this country stay so radicalized? It seems to be happening in France, the UK, and other countries also. Elected officials are to blame. Culture should not be confused with radical perspectives.
Rafidi said, “The only solution is one democratic Palestinian land which will end the Zionist project in Palestine.”
Democratic and Palestinian are a contradiction in terms. There has never been a democratic Arab country in the history of the world. Palestine certainly will not be the first.
All those groups that call for a 'free Palestine' and Palestinian rights have never demanded the PA or Hamas actually give their citizens civil liberties and human rights.
Someone should tell Tlaib that Nakba day was also the day that millions of Arabs received civil liberties and human rights in Israel and not found in any Arab country.
She must hate her grandparents if she wants them to live in a fascist dictatorship.
I think a terrorist of any kind should be removed from the planet. That's a climate change I can live with. That probably includes a lot of the border jumper's our leaderless government has welcomed with open arms.
There's no limit to the contempt I have for most of our elected parasites.
Both sides are complicite, the left for encouraging it and the right for ignoring it.
While not really pertinent to the article and discussion, I'm going to vent:
1. What does it say that not one of the other Middle East countries have opened their borders to the so-called Palestinians?
2. The so-called Palestinians have received BILLIONS since Israel vacated Gaza in 2005 and what have they done with those funds...clearly they did not build an infrastructure to support/create a functioning society rather they built a war machine.
3. So tired of hearing about Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. Israel could, if it chooses, wipe the Palestinians off the face of the earth. The Palestinians, whose charter calls for the genocide of Jews/Israelis, are unable to do so. Yet the woke college students are protesting in favor of Gasa residents. WTF?
if the other countries of the Middle East are hoping that the Palestinian terrorist groups will accomplish their goal, and that will be then end of it, I refer them to: Pastor Martin Niemöller: "First they came for..." None of them will then be safe from the terrorist ideolologies that threaten them, e.g. Egypt's issues with The Muslim Brotherhood, the threat of Iran. Peace and normalization with Israel is the best option for all.
Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Lutheran pastor in Germany. In the 1920s and early 1930s, he sympathized with many Nazi ideas and supported radically right-wing political movements. But after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, Niemöller became an outspoken critic of Hitler’s interference in the Protestant Church. He spent the last eight years of Nazi rule, from 1937 to 1945, in Nazi prisons and concentration camps. Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for his postwar statement, which begins “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out…”
Clay, you are NOT off subject. And your three points are spot on.
Is it not perplexing that this person got elected in the first place, and then breaches her oath of office to defend and protect the USA and the constitution, and she is still in office and not being held for terrorist activity. Hamas is 100% responsible for every death in this war.
Israel is not on Mars. Israel requires consensus. Every boycott of Israel has an impact. Currently Turkey is boycotting Israel, resulting in shortages of cement and other raw materials. Wiping anyone off anything is a pipe dream. Israel needs legitimacy, and America needs to provide the diplomatic umbrella. US sometimes does and sometimes doesn't. It's a subtle form of blackmail.
I will add one caveat: “for now”. We live in a world on the brink of economic collapse (thanks to global debt monetization) and on the brink of a new Cold War once china takes over Taiwan. At that point empty bellies and circling of the wagons will necessitate Israel participation in the new “axis of good” and will allow Israel great autonomy leeway.
I personally think that expelling all Palestinians from Israel is the only viable long term solution for peace and preventing endless bloodshed. It may sound harsh but it’s cold calculation. It may not be politically palatable now but as I said “for now”.
I agree, eddie. I have a lifelong friend who has lived in Israel for the past 12 years. We Zoom-visit every Sunday morning for three hours. Where she and other Jews once took pride in the number of Arabs who live and work in Israel, she now says no one trusts them. People avoid them on streets and in the shops and no longer use Arab-owned businesses and workers. I can't fault them for that. And the only one to blame for the change of heart is Hamas.
Taken from Wikipedia…seems like there should be a case for Tlaib to forfeit her right to hold public office…or literally sentenced to death. I know that sounds like a typical day in sunny Tehran, but still…enough is enough.
Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.[2]
Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death,[4] or not less than five years' imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.[5]
What does this woman have to do to get thrown out of Congress? Elected or not, she violates her oath of office time and again. The country frowned on George Wallace and eventually ran him out. Talib is no different. Detroit deserves better
“These Zionists lie like they breathe.”
Pure projection.

Wow, Rashida, like burning down democracy at home much? Pfft!

Activists at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit: We Want the Whole Thing

Thank you for sharing this.
This is why I get The Big Money! :-)

Facts are difficult when they contradict the narrative
Rashida Tlaib is not only a terrorist supporter, she is a terrorist.
This MOFO needs to be thrown out of office...what a POS!!
Not just thrown out of office, thrown out of this country, too!

Plain and simple, this woman has got to GO!!
Are you even sure this creature is a woman?
More humanoid than human.
