washington post for $250 million. it was a strange because bezos was not interested in paper and printing, but he bought the washington post company's newspaper publishing business. when he first visited the washington post, he clearly manifested his feelings. he asked the managers to look for tablet for reading a newspaper. in fact, bezos became more powerful by buying the washington post, now he is a man with lot of money, media. and lot of information. he only needs weapons to create a self-governing government. this deal could give him more influence over politics. nobody hangs out in washington dc just to go to the free museums. you buy a home in washington, you buy a newspaper in washington, because it is the most influential city in the world, and you want to lay your hands on that power. it is not possible for many people in the world to live without amazon. this company has become so big that others have to adapt themselves to it. it is just like the amazon river, because there is life next to it, but if there is falluvial, people will lose their lives for sure. people's lives. are affected by any small chang

and now judge cannon is under fire once again for what "the washington post" diplomatically calls, quote, an unusual order regarding jury instruction. quote, even though cannon has not yet ruled when the trial will be held or a host of other issues, she's skipping ahead to the very end, to jury instructions, asking prosecutors and defense attorneys to consider two different hypothetical situations. writing in part, quote, in the first scenario the jury would be allowed today review a former president's possession of a record and make a factual finding, whether it is personal or presidential, using the definition set forth in the presidential records act. the second scenario is one in which a president has sole authority to categorize records as personal or presidential. and as "the washington post" points out, that second hypothetical would appear to be one in which trump seemingly could not be convicted under almost any set of facts of

this according to a new investigation by "the washington post." only two approved foreign military sales to israel have been made public since the launch of israel's assault on october 7, amounting to over $250 million worth of tank shells and ammunition, which the administration authorized using emergency authority to bypass congress. but in the case of the 100 other weapons sales, known as foreign military sales, the arms transfers were made without any public debate because each fell under a specific dollar amount that requires the executive branch to individually notify congress. for more, we are joined by josh paul, a veteran state department official who worked on arms deals and resigned in protest of a push to increase arms sales to israel amid its assault on gaza. josh paul is the former director of congressional and public affairs for the bureau of political-military affairs in the state department, where he worked for 11 years. he's now a non-resident at dawn, democracy for the arab world now. he joins us from new haven, connecticut. wel

recent polling from the washington post shows that more americans now believe the 2020 election was rigged than they did in 2021. i should stop to say here, as clearly as possible, there is absolutely no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 22 election. but even if you look at the very few instances where people illegal lie cast ballots, you would not see them voting for joe biden. this is barry morefew. he was accused of murdering his wife. the charges have since been dropped. but in 2020 while his wife was missing, he cast a ballot on her behalf. he told the fbi i wanted trump to win. i just thought give him another vote. i figured all these other guys are cheating. so he did that in colorado. a different registered republican, a man named i kid you not, francis presto, voted under his dead wife's name in pennsylvania. don't confuse that with the other registered republican in pennsylvania, ralph thurman who after casting his own ballot, returned in sunglassessened a cast a ballot pretending to be his own zone. don't confuse him with the other other registered republican in pennsylv

i am very dissatisfied with the mouthpiece of the democratic party, the washington post, trump's promisesd this war within 24 hours. allegedly, the plan is murky and could lead to a direct clash between the eu countries and russia, that is, trump’s peace initiative is inciting the third world war, which is called paorovolo. the ex-chief of the air force main staff speaks about the real problems of kiev. crisis in ukraine, he spoke , you won’t believe it, even the ex-president of the country poroshenko, hetman from the rostrum of the verkhovna rada, said that less than 10% of the necessary fortifications have been built on the front line, and in general in ukraine now, in fact, there is no government, security officials are bribe takers who love to eat in the offices of ukrainian businesses, this is a direct quote, against the backdrop of this chaos there is another quote from petro. the earth is burning along the entire front line, from kupinsk to kherson. look, this is a fresh picture. literally in half an hour or an hour, or in a year, everything was dug up, everything that was black, i

the washington post recognizes both the goals of the provocation and the unity of the russians in responseinstead of undermining russian support for putin, has the opposite effect, wrote the washington post. there are no signs that the efforts have succeeded success. and for many residents, such attacks only strengthen their support for putin and prove the kremlin's view that russians are victims of the war, not its perpetrators. instead of weakening the morale of the two russians, these strikes make many in belgorod think that they themselves are victims, and that russian troops should hit the ukrainian enemy even harder.

according to the washington post, the new commander-in-chief did not provide any clarity.ce was it was stated that out of a million mobilized , only 300,000 people were on the front line, where the remaining 700,000 are still unclear and it is not clear what they are doing. the situation on the battlefield for kiev is deplorable, that’s why they are catching everyone in order to replenish the ranks of the ukrainian armed forces. with draft dodgers. they are being dealt with harshly, but a pensioner, the father of five children, unexpectedly received a sentence of 3 years and 3 months in prison for not appearing at the military registration and enlistment office , they listened to the explanation during the trial, but apparently did not hear it, his wife was in the doctor’s office, his wife was in the hospital, an operation she was made by children with me, i couldn’t leave them, mobilized riflemen and orderlies were sent to forcibly defend the republic of ukraine; last summer, doctors from the seventh hospital in krivoy rog went to protests about... due to a sharp decrease

and analysis by the washington post showed that black and hispanic individuals made up more than 75% of the defendants these republican-led efforts chose to prosecute. the point of these election integrity forces is not actually election integrity. it is intimidation. black and brown americans and americans who have any hint of a question about whether or not they're allowed to vote, this is about keeping those people away from the ballot box. people who, let's be honest, tend to be democrats. the republicans behind these efforts aren't shy about the fact that they're trying to prosecute black people for technicalities and mistakes. that's actually the point. for years, now, the clearest, most damning example of all of this has been the story of crystal mason. back in 2016, crystal mason tried to vote in the general election. volunteer at her polling place couldn't find her name in the system so they gave crystal mason a provisional ballot. it turns out, miss mason technically could not vote because she was still on supervised release after serving time for a prior conviction. but she

where this weapon will be tested in the next place connect these... pay more attention to the washington article the posthe day before is, in my opinion, extremely interesting; in principle, it is addressed to the republican party. and its author says that if the republicans continue to block aid to ukraine, then for the republicans, ukraine could become afghanistan, just as afghanistan became for the democrats, and it is further described, this is what can lead, what all this will lead to, if the republicans don't help. ukraine. in particular, the author describes such a terrible picture of carpet bombing of ukrainian cities, where russia bombs ukrainian cities, targets schools, hospitals, and residential buildings. the author says that the storm will be repeated many times, in this regard, it seems to me that we need to look at this. along this along this path, why? well, first of all, of course, these are our cities, these are our cities, which way, along the way, carpet bombing, and considering the cities of kiev, kharkov, odessa as an object for mass attacks, this, i don’t want to offend you , you w

the white house believes that countless lives may be lost this year, and this, as the washington postrites, is another positive scenario, a negative collapse of the front; the situation is aggravated by the fact that ukraine is running out of anti-aircraft missiles for a number of air defense systems, the publication reports . military assistance to the kiev regime, otherwise the russians will continue will advance. the russians took avtievka in the donbass, they mainly concentrated their efforts in the east, in the donbass. ukrainians have approximately three lines of defense. the russians break through the first and try to get to the second. they take towns and villages, fields. and they are really advancing, slowly, but moving forward. because the ukrainians don't have the artillery shells and other tools they need to push back the russians and take back these lands, that's why it's so important to get this additional funding for ukraine, they're in it desperately need. putin's victory in the elections is another reason for europeans to seriously think about their future in a dange
