Not in biblical times (it is explicitly referenced in the bible to be outside of the promised land, and if it were part of a biblical kingdom, it would've been the kingdom of Judea, not Israel, which was the northern kingdom), not in the 1947 partition plan, and not at any moment during Israel's conquest of the territories not designated for it in said partition plan.
As a former board member of a municipal (publicly owed) water authority in PA, I thank you for highlighting rampant corporate takeovers of water utilities. Another under the radar privatization effort that will only lead to higher bills and reduced service.
As for lead pipe removals, our utility has been replacing them (along with service lines, usually the responsibility of home owners) thanks to money Biden provided. It would have taken forever and skyrocketed rates for our poor ratepayers to pay for it ourselves.
Unfortunately the administration seems to get no credit for repairing our crumbling infrastructure.
I thought the parody thing that Palin didn't quite say was, "I can see Russia from my house." (... not Alaska, where she would be doing the seeing from.)
Congrats on surpassing negative political campaigning (of which Substack contains a bit too much for my GOTV needs rn) and sticking a landing right in the news-comedy.
NBC Nightly news rebroadcast the shaky-voiced weatherman’s report last night—I replayed it here in Chicago for my partner, really disturbing—but I don’t think they included the climate change attribution. Thoughts and prayers (seriously) for those whose life’s work is being meteorologically “cancelled” at this very moment. Unimaginable, honestly.
Ps a mini nit: “And Milton’s storm surge is expected to even higher than Helene’s. In America’s flattest state.” Personally I don’t mind the use of “higher” as a verb, but it may not catch on with the snarkier grammar set.
Pps YEA to catching Trump in a (moment of uncharacteristic inanity)(lie)(pander to the antisemitic/“pro Palestine” Right). I’ve restocked & will try again to post on FB but how else can we get this to the Public? Rachel Maddow are you listening??
“Effectively castrating the Penis State”…slight nit pick…castrating is removing the testicles, not shearing off the penis…however, you could have said “effectively giving the Penis State gender-affirming surgery”, and been both more accurate and maybe even snarkier.
I thought they were doing it in the schools? You know, where all the surgeons hangout with their sterile ORs in cash-strapped schools? Working for free?
We mapped the nonsense Trump was spouting during the pandemic, the number of COVID deaths by county and the areas where FEMA is helping disaster victims that are now at risk from Trump's latest batch of lies.
Mapping the deadly cost of Trump’s Lies: From injecting bleach to fight COVID to FEMA
While the hurricane itself will miss his cockroach-infested island mansion, hopefully, the resulting effects of Milton with storm surge, high winds, etc will take out his property.
“Gaza is in Israel"
Gaza was never "in Israel".

"penectomy" is the medical word
I understand that gender issues is unnecessarily on our collective mind, but I think "circumcising the penis state" is a more apt metaphor.
Only if de Santis took Milton out of school for the surgery, against their will
