Biden administration again bypasses Congress on emergency weapons sale to Israel
For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.
The State Department said Friday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had told Congress that he had made a second emergency determination covering a $147.5 million sale for equipment, including fuses, charges and primers, that is needed to make the 155 mm shells that Israel has already purchased function.

A judge will rule “as quick as I can” on healthcare restrictions for transgender Floridians
Focusing on what has become one of the most emotionally charged issues in the state and nation, a trial ended Thursday in a constitutional challenge to Florida restrictions on medical care for transgender children and adults.
The challenge centers on a 2023 law and rules approved by state medical boards prohibiting the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapy to treat children for gender dysphoria. The restrictions also made it harder for transgender adults to receive hormones and surgical procedures and required signing lengthy informed-consent forms with warnings about the use of puberty blockers and hormones.

End to the Bloodshed?
Hello Stogie readers,
Per an article:
I hope the Israeli government agrees, the massacre of so many thousands of innocent lives is an atrocious end to the year, and the lives of thousands more depends on this peace. For each person killed by the violence on either side, more hostility is created, it’s quite that simple.
I am grateful for Egyptian attempts at peace. Now, let’s see the United States step up and demand Israel agree to the ceasefire, hostage swap, and unfettered movement of humanitarian aid to the butchered Gaza Strip. Maybe such action will avoid further warfare in the region: if that is what is wanted by those in charge.
They gained power by fear leading to anger leading to hate — the Likud Bibi government and Hamas, that is. Perhaps if neither play ball, that will finally elect a decent response in the respective electorate to elect real leaders like Yitzchak Rabin.
Shalom,
Asher
State governments are ready and waiting to strip citizens’ rights in 2024
The whole country has now witnessed a nightmare worthy of “The Handmaid’s Tale” unfold for a Texas woman, Kate Cox. After a court denied the abortion her doctors said was medically necessary, Cox was forced to flee her home state to get care because of Texas’s extreme abortion ban.

Migrant caravan slogs on through southern Mexico with no expectations from a US-Mexico meeting
Under a beating sun, thousands of migrants in a caravan continued to trudge through southern Mexico on Tuesday, with some saying they expect nothing good from an upcoming meeting this week between American and Mexican officials about the migrant surge at the U.S. border.
The migrants passed by Mexico’s main inland immigration inspection point outside the town of Huixtla, in southern Chiapas state. National Guard officers there made no attempt to stop the estimated 6,000 members of the caravan.
The migrants were trying to make it to the next town, Villa Comaltitlan, about 11 miles (17 kilometers) northwest of Huixtla. In the past, Mexico has let migrants go through, trusting that they would tire themselves out walking along the highway. No migrant caravan has ever walked the 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) to the U.S. border.
