Last Wednesday President Trump pressured Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to pardon Netanyahu before his corruption trial is over. The trial has been off and on as Netanyahu’s wars heat up and cool down. Trump’s pressure on Herzog, little doubt at Netanyahu’s request, indicates that Trump and Netanyahu do not expect trial to exonerate Netanyahu.
The case against Netanyahu was brought by the Israeli judicial system and is based on evidence of fraud, acceptance of bribes, and breech of trust. Trump in his letter to Herzog dismissed the case as “political” and “unjustified prosecution.”
The Western media, such as Melanie Lidman at AP, presents the case as “undue American influence over internal Israeli affairs,” whereas in fact it is Netanyahu’s undue influence over the American president.

Flashback 2000: ‘Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past’: According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become ‘a very rare and exciting event. Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.’

Goldman analysts led by Evan Tylenda published a note on emerging labor-market risks and how companies are adapting to aging demographics and shrinking labor pools.
One section stood out in particular: the widening mismatch between an oversupply of college-educated workers and a deepening shortage of talent for non-degree, hands-on jobs.
Tylenda and others on the team spoke with labor demographer Ron Hetrick, who outlined how the U.S. labor market is entering a structural slowdown driven by aging demographics, a falling birth rate, and weakening participation among older workers.
Hetrick outlined that baby boomers once supplied 65 million workers, but only 25 million remain, and no younger generation is large enough to replace them.
He noted that BLS data show the workforce adding just 5.9 million workers by 2034, with nearly half of that coming from workers aged +65, even as participation among those +55 continues to decline. (Ford Motor can't find 5,000 mechanics willing to work for $120,000 a year.)

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wants a defense deal that outshines Qatar’s, AI chips and AI-powered drones, and potentially, American nuclear weapons stationed in his country.
The wishlist reveals the confidence of a leader who arrives in Washington on Monday, having withstood pressure to normalize ties with Israel amid alleged genocide in Gaza. Then over the summer, he emerged unscathed, if not relatively stronger, by sitting out a direct war between Israel and Iran. On the opposite side of the aisle is a US president willing to put up his country's crown jewels for negotiation: nuclear and AI technology.(Russia has better weapons and tech. The US allowed Israel through Qatar's air defense.) )

Authored by Stephen Soukup via American Greatness,
Just over 15 years ago, when the Democrat-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate were debating the healthcare proposals offered by the Democrat president, nearly everyone on the political right was unified in opposition. It may well have been the last time the right was united on anything, but it was indeed unified and resolute.
Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (MN) warned that “This monstrosity of a bill will not only destroy the private healthcare market, it will lead to massive increases in premiums and rationed care.” Congressman (and eventual vice-presidential nominee and Speaker of the House) Paul Ryan (WI) complained that “This bill is a fiscal Frankenstein. It’s a government takeover that will explode costs and kill jobs.” Senator (and Republican Leader) Mitch McConnell (KY) insisted that Americans “want reforms that lower costs, not a trillion-dollar government experiment.”
Right-leaning commentators like George Will and Charles Krauthammer agreed

Was it a case of demonic possession?
That’s what has many people wondering after a young woman was arrested following what police say was a case of attempted human sacrifice in New Jersey.
According to multiple reports, 20-year-old Marlene Rodriguez of Brick Township, New Jersey, brought up human sacrifice with her cousin just hours before she allegedly stabbed her brother multiple times.
She’s now charged with attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to Patch.com.
The New York Post reported that not only did Rodriguez tell police that voices instructed her to do it, but that she started talking as if a third person was telling her not to tell police what happened.
