One Soldier at the polls is a voter. A formation at the polls is a felony. Hegseth just ordered a military-wide voting stand-down by Oct 15. But 18 U.S.C. § 592 makes it a felony, five years and a lifetime ban from federal office, for any officer to order, bring, or keep troops at a polling place.

On Israel not having charged anyone in the killings of 9 Americans in the West Bank: “Mr. Milstein argued that the embassy should send a letter saying that Israel was properly handling the investigations, two officials briefed on the discussions said.”
Questions About American
Deaths
In February, Nasrallah Abu Siyam, 19, was trying to stop settlers from stealing livestock when one of them shot him dead in his West Bank village.He was the ninth American citizen of Palestinian heritage killed in the West Bank by Israeli settlers or soldiers in four years. Weeks later, seeking an update on the investigations into the killings, 30 members of Congress led by Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding answers from Israel.In response, otticers in the embassy compiled a report that was completed in March detailing the status of each investigation, according to multiple officials briefed on the process.
Its central findings suggested that, in most cases, investigations had made little progress, that some cases had been closed, and that no one had been charged in any of the killings, these officials said.
Instead of forwarding the report, Mr.
Milstein argued that the embassy should send a letter saying that Israel was properly handling the investigations, two officials briefed on the discussions said.

Mortgage rates follow the Fed Interest rate for the most part. And the Fed's interest rate is pushed higher by inflation. Don't let tRump and his morons get away with blaming this on Biden. Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (8/16/22) was working. Luckily, we have these things called facts👇
