US ends aid to Palestinian refugee agency Unrwa
The US is ending all funding for the UN's Palestinian refugee agency, the Department of State has said.
In a statement, it said the organisation was "irredeemably flawed".
"The administration has carefully reviewed the issue and determined that the United States will not make additional contributions to Unrwa," spokeswoman Heather Nauert said.
The US State Department says Unrwa, which supports five million people, is "irredeemably flawed".

The parents of a 2012 mass shooting victim can sue Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for defamation, a Texas judge has ruled.
Mr Jones sought to dismiss the suit brought by the parents of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook school massacre.
Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa allege they were harassed and forced to move after Mr Jones decried the attack that left 26 dead as a left-wing hoax.
The case is one of five defamation lawsuits he is facing.
Mr Jones argued that he was protected from the lawsuit by his first amendment free speech rights under the US constitution. He also sought more than $100,000 (£77,000) in court costs from the couple.
But Judge Scott Jenkins of Travis County, Texas rejected Mr Jones' argument and his motion to dismiss the lawsuit, according to court papers.
.....
Last April, Mr Jones posted a video titled "Sandy Hook Vampires Exposed", which implied Ms De La Rosa was an actor.
This video is at the centre of the parents' case, as defamation claims in certain states have a one-year statute of limitations.
The family's legal action also followed an incident in which a Florida woman who believed Mr Jones' claims began making death threats against Mr Pozner.
Mark Bankston, the lawyer for the Pozner family, says his clients are suing Mr Jones because they believe he has no intention of leaving them alone.

So, uh, this was an actual campaign poster put out by a county GOP organization here in Texas... and do I have questions!
1. So we're promoting smoking now?
2. Where exactly are those guns aiming at?
3. That right bicep... who is that? WC Fields? And is that a cigar they're chomping on?
4. Did the Dallas Cowboys give them permission to use their logo?
5. Why is the flag tat in color and the other ones not?
6. Whatever the eagle has in its talons had three arrows in it. But what is "it"?
7. And... most importantly... is that Ivanka tatted on his neck?

George Papadopoulos gave details about a meeting with Donald Trump in 2016, according to a court filing seeking leniency.
Trump approved of a Putin meeting and wanted the dirt on Hillary. Just a coffee boy... Kidiot isn't going to like this one. Another former Trump advisor implicating Trump. Russia collision is coming back strongly in the news.

Its basically an old smoking ad. I am sure O'Rourke, who is within 2% of Ted Cruz according to recent polling, will bring it up (or at least should). Nice example to send to kids. Not only is Cruz not buff like that, the rest of the body has way too much going on. And shirtless... Is someone trying to tell us something? I wonder if the guy who created that poster has the hots for Cruz.

I do remember that Trump quote about Ted Cruz... lol. That's a doozy.
And Roy Moore lol. I still think he hasn't conceded yet lmao. I feel bad for the pony he rode in on when voting.

‘We Negroes’ robocall is an attempt to ‘weaponize race’ in Florida campaign, Gillum warns
By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.
September 2 at 12:21 PM
An assertion by a white gubernatorial candidate that Florida voters can't afford to "monkey this up" by voting for his black opponent was widely viewed as a "dog whistle" to rally racists.
If it were a dog whistle — and GOP candidate Ron DeSantis denies any racial intent against Democrat Andrew Gillum — then a jungle music-scored robo-call that has circulated in Florida is more akin to a bullhorn.
If nothing else, the minute-long audio clip is a clear sign of how quickly racism — subtle in some cases, overt in others — has entered the contest to determine who will lead Florida.
"Well, hello there,” the call begins as the sounds of drums and monkeys can be heard in the background, according to the New York Times. “I is Andrew Gillum."
"We Negroes . . . done made mud huts while white folk waste a bunch of time making their home out of wood an' stone."
The speaker goes on to say he'll pass a law letting African Americans evade arrest “if the Negro know fo' sho' he didn't do nothin'."
It is unclear how many people heard the call.
In a statement emailed to The Washington Post, Gillum's spokesman, Geoff Burgan said: “This is reprehensible — and could only have come from someone with intentions to fuel hatred and seek publicity. Please don’t give it undeserved attention."
In a tweet, Gov. Rick Scott (R), the current occupant of 700 N. Adams St. in Tallahassee and a candidate for the U.S. Senate, blasted whoever was behind the robo-call.
"There is no room for any racial politics here in Florida — none,” the tweet said. “Florida is a melting pot of people from all over the globe, and we are proud of it. No attempts to divide people by race or ethnicity will be tolerated, from anyone. THIS. STOPS. NOW."
And a spokesman for DeSantis — a U.S. congressman who has been criticized for his racially tinged comment about Gillum a day after Tuesday's primary — called the robo-calls “disgusting."
"This is absolutely appalling and disgusting — and hopefully whoever is behind this has to answer for this despicable action,” Stephen Lawson, a spokesman for the DeSantis campaign, said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “Our campaign has and will continue to focus solely on the issues that Floridians care about and uniting our state as we continue to build on our success."
DeSantis has said his comments were aimed at Gillum's policies, not his skin color.
Gillum said Sunday that he didn't want the governor's race to become one of name-calling.
"I want to make sure that we don’t racialize and, frankly, weaponize race as a part of this process," he said on CNN's "State of the Union." He added: "People are taking their cues from [DeSantis], from his campaign and from Donald Trump."
And on Meet the Press Sunday, host Chuck Todd asked Gillum if he thinks DeSantis is racist. Gillum replied: "I have not called him a racist, but his rhetoric in my opinion has to be toned down. I won't get into the gutter and name call."
The DeSantis campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comments on Gillum's remarks on CNN.
If elected, Gillum would be Florida's first black governor.
“I have been really slow to try to think on it because it’s too big,” Gillum told the Associated Press. “There will absolutely be a part of this that I can’t even put words to, around what it might mean for my children and other people’s kids. Especially growing up, for them, in the age of Donald Trump.”
A disclaimer at the end of the robo-call says it was produced by the Road to Power, a white-supremacist and anti-Semitic group based in Idaho. The Southern Poverty Law Center has noted a recent rise in robo-calls across the country, describing them as a “new, high-tech, computer-delivered brand of hate,” according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The Road to Power is also the group behind the most unsubtle attempt to turn the killing of Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa into anti-immigration policy and a 2018 campaign talking point.
Tibbetts, a 20-year-old University of Iowa student, disappeared in July while on a jog around her hometown. Authorities found her body in a cornfield a month later, after being led there by a man they said confessed to chasing Tibbetts after seeing her jogging, then dragging her body into a field just outside the town of Brooklyn, Iowa.
The suspect, Cristhian Rivera, is an undocumented immigrant who worked on a dairy farm, and conservatives said Tibbetts's death highlights the need for stronger immigration laws and even a wall on the southern border. Tibbetts's family has pushed back against that argument, with her father speaking favorably of the local Hispanic community.
"If, after her life has now been brutally stolen from her, she could be brought back to life for just one moment and asked, 'What do you think now?' Mollie Tibbetts would say, 'Kill them all,' " an Iowa robo-call says. “Well, we don't have to kill them all, but we do have to deport them all. The Aztec hybrids known as mestizos are low-IQ, bottom-feeding savages and is why the country they infest are crime-ridden failures."
According to the Des Moines Register, the man producing the robo-calls is named Scott Rhodes, of Sandpoint, Idaho. He has been linked to similar campaigns in California; Alexandria, Va.; and Charlottesville. Rhodes could not immediately be reached for comment.
"Well hello there" the call begins as the sounds of drums and monkeys can be heard in the background. "I is Andrew Gillum."

Road to Power should be categorized as a terrorist group. And why is DeSantis trying to distance himself from his base? His own campaign made racist statements about Gillum. They are all desperate of the political bloodbath coming for the GOP in November.

No surprise that, withTrumps government, right wing racist / white supremacist groups feel encouraged to come out into the open.
Or, as Trump probably would say: There are some very fine people among them

Do you ever stop lying about racism?

Oh sure, lets guess:
According to your belief, not only national socialism but also racism is something that comes from the left of the political spectrum and not from the right
