This tweet is a fucking lie.
To buy a gun in Israel, you must
-prove you live or work in danger
-pass a shooting test
-get approval from police and a doctor
-waive your right to privacy
-80% of permit apps are rejected
-Soldiers can't bring weapons home.
It's called GUN CONTROL
Just waking up in Israel to news of heartbreaking school shooting in FL; Reminded that Israel pretty much eliminated it by placing highly trained people strategically to spot the one common thread--not the weapon, but a person with intent.

A lot of emphasis on Russia’s role through out Trump’s description of the al-Baghdadi mission. Trump thanked Russia first. Went on to say “Russia was great, Russia let us fly through space. Russia hates ISIS as much as us.”
Horrific new video obtained by CNN shows a MAGA rioter (in white hat and backpack) grab a DC Metro officer and pull him down Capitol steps where he is stomped and beaten with an American flag pole.
At one point they sing the Star Spangled Banner
I’ve lost 50k+ followers this week. The radical left and their big tech allies cannot marginalize, censor, or silence the American people. This is not China, this is United States of America, and we are a free country.
A kid eats tainted lettuce and dies.
There is a mass recall of lettuce.
No one says "Don't politicize this! Let the parents mourn in peace! Thoughts and prayers for all the victims of tainted lettuce."
Why?
Because politicians aren't afraid of the lettuce lobby.
Trump just claimed Monument status unfairly keeps local people from hunting and grazing cattle in Bears Ears. This is not true. The only thing it prevents is new drilling, mining and fracking.
After the

we now have 25,000 of emails proving that the main motivations for shrinking Bear's Ears and GSE National Monuments were oil, gas and coal. Just realizing how often I was lied to while reporting this piece:

In many states, it’s more difficult to become a barber than a cop with a license to kill.
In the last few hours, Tennessee made it legal for anyone over 21 to carry a handgun without a permit and Arkansas made it illegal for a doctor to treat anyone under 18 with transgender therapies.
NEW Arizona Trump supporters who sued the state, alleging that tabulation equipment was unable to record votes marked with county-issued Sharpies dropped their lawsuit after Biden’s victory.
Hi Twitter, this is Bill’s fiancée Kelly. After two eye surgeries,his retina detached again yesterday and he’s under Drs orders to keep his head down and eyes closed for a few days. He DESPERATELY wishes he could be in the field with all that is going on….
The last time I packed body armor was to go to the Pech and Korengal Valleys of Afghanistan.
Today I’m packing it to go back to my home state of Wisconsin to cover an inauguration.

we just confirmed an airport runway-full of FEMA bottled water going to waste nearly a year after Hurricane Maria.
Feds blame the locals, locals blame the Feds.
Either way, it’s all too contaminated to drink.
Mexico is paying for the Wall through the new USMCA Trade Deal. Much of the Wall has already been fully renovated or built. We have done a lot of work. $5.6 Billion Dollars that House has approved is very little in comparison to the benefits of National Security. Quick payback!
This is a story about neighbors.
See that house?
Years ago, a family bought it for $60,000.
See the oil refinery next door?
It is owned by a Saudi Arabian company that made $111 billion profit last year, almost twice as much as Apple.
Huh. That’s strange because I spent the day with real Americans ice fishing in Minnesota and unprompted, they wanted to talk about the lack of COVID relief checks, the insanity of Qanon and their dismay over poisonous partisan division.
Pete Hegseth says that when he sits down with real Americans at diners across this nation, "they're not talking about esoteric things that the Ivy League talks about." They're talking about things like the Bible, standing for the national anthem ... and the 10th Amendment.
Was doing a protest walk-and-talk with
@JonBatiste
when the woman in the Mets cap came out of the crowd to watch my cameraman Evelio’s back.
A few miles later she introduced herself and said “I work for

but we’re all on the same team today, right?”
When Loretta Lynn heard the White Stripes were fans, she invited Jack White to dinner.
She was 72, he was 28.
She mentioned she had a bunch of new songs but no record deal, he offered to produce and she knocked out this brilliant album IN ONE TAKE.

Was just idling on the curb when a random woman opened the door and climbed into the backseat.

Wheels up from the magnificent city of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel. Grateful for good meetings with

and the opportunity to visit some of the most treasured sites in human history.
My visit to
@babcockranchfl
the 100% solar-powered village of 2,000 homes that never lost power during Hurricane Ian, and thanks to resilient planning and wetlands protection, did not flood.
Jimmy Carter was also a one-term President but went on to build thousands of homes for the needy, teach Sunday School and help eradicate River Blindness in Africa so maybe Donald Trump will see this as an opportunity to oh no I think that math broke my brain.
So far, Chris Wallace, Brett Baier and Ken Starr have all said how badly this is going for Trump.
Somewhere, Sean Hannity must be taking an 8-iron to his flatscreen.

Ecuador wanted to encourage breast feeding around the world. The world said "Good idea!" But then, prompted by infant formula makers, US officials threatened to pull Ecuador's foreign aid and military support unless they killed the resolution
-Gas prices are 35 cents/gal higher than Nov. ‘16
-Dropping oil prices and down- for-the-year stock market have economists warning of recession
-if you are going to call yourself President T, you have to wear chains and a mohawk
So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T). Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!
So...if you don’t live in Port Arthur, why should you care?
Because on a planet with a fever, we are ALL Motiva/Chevron/Valero’s neighbors.

I’ve lived the American dream. I went from the farm to the Fortune 500.
I want Georgians to have the same freedom & opportunities I had. And it won’t be possible if we go down the road to socialism.

I drove my car today. It didn’t hit anyone.
Still had have it registered, insured and inspected after proving to a government official that I’m not a dangerous idiot and if I ever become one, it will be taken, I will be jailed and no one cry for my right to burn rubber
Might be having a son tonight, two weeks early.
There were enough preeclampsia warning signs that we rushed to the hospital and are now waiting for lab tests to determine the need for a c-section.

$787,500,000 is the opener.
Dominion still has pending lawsuits against Newsmax and OAN, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell of pillow fame and Fox News is being sued by Smartmatic for $2.7 billion.
This is beyond-belief bonkers.
Rivers are SUPPOSED to flow into seas but most die miles inland due to unregulated overdevelopment and mismanagement. The fires are raging due to man-made climate change. I can introduce you to 1000 really smart people who can explain this to you.
Sweet guy from Kosovo who works in my building noticed a wallet in the street the other night with $2,000 in it.
He checks the ID.

He refused a reward until Meryl insisted.

Sometimes you have to climb down your own family tree to confront the kind of policing that is turning so many stomachs tonight.

Trump Administration tweets out advice to furloughed federal workers who can’t afford to pay their bills. Among the tips: Offer to do painting or carpentry for your landlord in lieu of rent.
Feds, here are sample letters you may use as a guide when working with your creditors during this furlough. If you need legal advice please consult with your personal attorney.
Are you talking about the Christianity based on the love-thy-neighbor teachings of Jesus?
Or the one that worships a hateful golf cheat from Queens?
Because those are very different religions.
I’m going on record now:
If they try to cancel Christianity, if they try to force me to apologize or recant my Faith, I will not bend, I will not waver, I will not break.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand.
And I’m proud to be an American.

A fresh 48,517 votes out of Maricopa:
Biden 19,513
Trump 26,992
Biden leads AZ by 20,573
No more ballots to run through the machine here. Now they do military, overseas, large print and Braille ballots (which can run hundreds of pages) and release those a few thousand at a time
The Mayor of Venice blames climate change for tonight’s state of emergency flooding event with water just shy of the devastating record-high “aqua alta” of 1966.
St Mark’s Basilica is flooded for the second time in 2 years.
Before 2018, it happened 4 times in over 900 years.
I have some new reporting on the millions bottles of FEMA water we found going to waste on a runway in Ceiba, Puerto Rico a year after Hurricane Maria forced millions of Americans to drink rain and creek water for MONTHS, triggering an outbreak of deadly leptospirosis...
VARNEY: Is the climate changing because of human activity?
TRUMP: In my opinion you have a thing called weather, and you go up and you go down. If you look into the 1920s, they were talking about global freezing.
BREAKING: With a 73-25 vote,

Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats and seized 2 Russian compounds.
Trump refused to enact sanctions (which passed Congress 419-3 and 98-2) and said “Every time (Putin) sees me, he says, ‘I didn’t do that...and I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it.”
Unlike Obama,
@POTUS
isn’t going to be pushed around by Russia or anybody else. As he said yesterday: It’s time we stop the wild and false allegations that further the agendas of bad actors like Russia & unite as Americans to protect the integrity of our democracy & our elections
Meanwhile, Russia's Minister of Defense says they have no idea what Trump is talking about and casts doubt that the raid even happened.
