Wealthy Jewish donors meet to decide how to spend their money influencing American politics to help Israel. In this case, they've decided to go after Rep. Rashida Tlaib for supporting BDS. Ron Kampeus writes: At the Jewish federation round table, there was a consensus: The Palestinian-American freshman in the 13th District has got to go. ... “We in this community will go against Rashida Tlaib,” said Lisa Lis, a philanthropist who is also a contributor to Democratic candidates, and who otherwise during the roundtable was vocal in her criticism of President Donald Trump.

8/8/19 Ben Freeman on the Military-Industrial Jobs Scam
Ben Freeman talks about President Trump's friendship with Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson and what it means for the military-industrial complex. Trump likes to boast about keeping businesses—particularly those related to military industries—open and hiring in the United States, but Freeman explains the reality that these companies do not create any net jobs at all.
