US official: Successful rescue operation complicates efforts to reach a deal
2024-06-10
[IsraelNationalNews] US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Monday afternoon where he will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, and President Isaac Herzog.

Blinken is expected to pressure the Israeli officials to accept the proposed ceasefire and hostage deal that President Biden presented at the end of last month.

A senior Biden administration official told NBC News overnight that Israel's operation which rescued four hostages on Saturday is likely to complicate the Secretary of State's efforts to reach such a deal.
And that, in one sentence, explains why USA - which used to be a sole superpower - is on it's way to becoming Mexico Norte.

Question: Since it is illegal to operate a vehicle, or enter into a binding contract while under the influence.

Shouldn't elected Congressional Members be required to submit to a daily TOX-Drug screening test before being allowed to write laws, reg's and vote on them?

🤔

Just Asking
