It looks like Trump licensed his name to be used to sell the Bibles in the same way he licenses his name to appear on various buildings he doesn't own:

The website selling the Trump-backed Bibles specifies that none of its proceeds will go toward the Trump campaign.

The site says it "is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign."

"GodBlessTheUSABible.com is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Ventures LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates."

Rather, it says it is licensed by CIC Ventures to use Trump's name, likeness and image.

Trump's 2023 financial disclosure shows he has made more than $5 million in speaking engagements through CIC Ventures.

I'd like to know what the Bible sold for before Trump endorsed it?

Hmmm has an axe to grind with George W Bush and Peter Thiel.., doesn't seem like he's one of ours.

He really doesn't like Bill Clinton either. He's someone who believes both sides, Democrats and Republicans, are the same.

I think being in the Gang of 8 is what has made the difference between Johnson, the Speaker, and Johnson, the ordinary member:

Jordan Weissmann
@JHWeissmann

As Ukraine aid heads toward passage, it's worth watching Johnson's press conference from earlier this week. And I mean watch, not just read. Because he truly sounds like he's been terrified by the intelligence briefings he's received.

I'll ask you....has Johnson contradicted any previous statements regarding Ukraine?

Apparently he was against the aid to Ukraine before he was for it:

Joseph Zeballos-Roig
@josephzeballos

Sen. Markwayne Mullin raised an interesting point to me last year. Johnson opposed Ukraine $ as a member, but as speaker has privileged access to classified intel that few House members do:

"When you get informed on Ukraine, you get a different opinion"

"What does this revelation tell us? That our government is conning us completely. That
Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush's side, and that the
Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is
with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on."

Completely nuts and lost in all the conspiracy theories he "discovered".

He's from St. Augustine, FL!

Reading the portions of the flyers that are exposed and it's clear the guy was mentally ill.

How do we know this is Trump related? Could be related to Palestine, for example.

I know some will disagree, but I don't think these types of actions do much to help the cause:

Climate Defiance
@ClimateDefiance

BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us.

Hmm, I'd call it a little more than a scuffle and isn't Murkowski an independent now?

Background info:

These Climate Activists Make People Uncomfortable " And It's Working

Last week, guerilla activists at Climate Defiance recounted the powerful people they've made uncomfortable, and used that power to raise real money

Activists and donors, young and old, packed into a luxury co-op on the Upper West Side last Wednesday to celebrate the one-year birthday of Climate Defiance, a disruptive climate action group that is quite good at making powerful politicians, government officials, and corporate executives uncomfortable " with the goal of trying to end our reliance on fossil fuels.

Climate Defiance Executive Director Michael Greenberg put this power on full display at the event, as he gave supporters an excruciatingly hard sell, for what felt like an eternity, asking them to fund the organization's in-your-face climate activism " and help take it national.

Republicans against Trump
@RpsAgainstTrump

Pennsylvania voter: "If it's a Biden and Trump race, I would vote for Biden even if he was dead. And I'm a Republican."

Background to MTG's amendment:

Hungary far-right would lay claim to neighbouring region if Ukraine loses war

BUDAPEST, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Hungary's far-right Our Homeland party would lay claim to a western region of Ukraine that is home to about 150,000 ethnic Hungarians if Ukraine loses its statehood due to Russia's invasion, the party's leader said late on Saturday.

Our Homeland leader Laszlo Toroczkai made the remarks at a conference where the party, which has six lawmakers in the 199-strong Hungarian parliament, hosted far-right leaders from Germany's AfD and the Dutch Forum for Democracy, among others.

"Regarding the war in Ukraine, our message is very simple: immediate ceasefire, peace and a resolution through talks," Toroczkai said in a video posted on his party's website, calling for autonomy for ethnic Hungarians in western Ukraine.

"If this war ends up with Ukraine losing its statehood, because this is also on the cards, then as the only Hungarian party taking this position, let me signal that we lay claim to Transcarpathia," he said, drawing applause from the crowd.

Why in the world would anyone associate Donald with Adolph? Oh, wait:

According to the four people who were granted anonymity to speak to West Wing Playbook about the term's usage in Biden world, it started in late 2022 after Trump invited NICK FUENTES, an avowed white nationalist and Holocaust denier, to dinner at Mar-a-Lago along with the rapper KANYE WEST.

Trump, who shot to the front of a crowded Republican primary field in 2016 by denigrating undocumented immigrants and proposing a ban on travel from several Muslim-majority countries, has at times evoked the rhetoric of ADOLF HITLER, saying in December 2023 that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." Trump later said in a radio interview that he "never knew that Hitler said it" and volunteered that he knew "nothing" about Hitler.

That contradicts reporting going back three decades detailing Trump's fascination with Hitler. In 1990, Vanity Fair's MARIE BRENNER reported that Trump's first wife, IVANA TRUMP, told her divorce lawyer how Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches on his nightstand. And books released after Trump's presidency ended have contained additional examples.

"How dare you call Trump 'Hitler Pig?'" say the people constantly calling Joe Biden a cannibal pedophile international war criminal.

Somebody really needs to look into who is behind MTG's recent amendments to the Ukraine aid bill because she isn't knowledgeable enough to have come up with some of them on her own:

Jay in Kyiv
@JayinKyiv

The amendment that Marjorie Taylor Greene just proposed to sabotage the Ukraine bill is something that is such a nuanced Russian disinfo narrative that it could have only come directly from her Russian handlers.

The notion that Hungarians are being persecuted in Ukraine is insane BUT it's being pushed by both Orban (who was promised a piece of Ukraine by Putin) and Russian disinfo machine. For an American to suggest this really confirms she is being handled.

@fbi
@RepMTG

Amendment to H.R. 8035 " Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

No funding shall be made available to Ukraine unless restrictions on ethnic minorities',
including Hungarians in Transcarpathia, right to use their native languages in schools are
lifted.

Great. A compromised Bibi wants to be a hero to save his own political skin at home. The rest of the world be damned.

FTA:

Earlier this month, a group called Republican Voters Against Trump rolled out what they are describing as a $50 million multi-platform advertising campaign. That campaign is designed both to troll the twice-impeached, four times-indicted ex-president and to genuinely reach out to his most loyal supporters.

One such ad ran earlier this month on two prominent Fox News programmes--Fox & Friends in the morning and Jesse Watters Tonight in the evening " and featured an ex-Trump supporter called "Chuck".

In the ad, Chuck says he holds Trump "completely, 100 per cent ... accountable for the insurrection at the Capitol" and vows to "not ever support or vote for Donald Trump" again.

"I will vote Democrat. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I will. I will vote for Joe Biden," he adds.

It's a shame that Gaetz is the Congressional face of this complaint, because it makes it more temptinng to discredit what could be a legitmate concern. Stars and Stripes has reprinted the article for its audience:

Are you saying Fox News is a balanced news organization?
#8 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

No, of course not, but balance isn't really the hallmark of great journalism:

Why We Need Press Objectivity, Not Balance

When the news is "balanced" in an unbalanced world, it becomes an instrument of deception. This has made producing the news extremely difficult in an era of mass delusions and hyper-polarization.

Already posted, but granted your title is way better:

MFA:

Google has fired more than two dozen employees for protesting the company's $1.2 billion contract to provide the Israeli government and military with cloud and artificial intelligence services.

The 28 firings come after nine employees were arrested Tuesday night following a sit-in at the company's offices in Seattle, New York and Sunnyvale, California--including one at Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office, according to the group that organized the demonstration, No Tech for Apartheid.

Protestors sat in his office for more than nine hours, wearing shirts and raising banners that read "No more genocide for profit," until their eventual arrest.

Republicans in disarray.
