*** NO RANT TOMORROW .. TRAVELING ****
WASHINGTON DC: NOT RANDOM ..
Two Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down by a pro-Palestinian gunman outside the Capital Jewish Museum after a “Young Diplomats” Reception..
The gunman reportedly loitered outside .. and when the reception began to let out he approached a group and started firing. He was apprehended by security and was chanting, “Free Free Palestine” ..
Israel PM Netanyahu expressed his sympathy and said they will increase security at embassies around the world. (You’d think they would have already done that, given what’s going on… )

NEW YORK: The Justice Department has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying to Congress about nursing home deaths in the Empire State during the COVID-19 pandemic. The numbers were under-reported by almost half.
In his testimony, the ex-governor was adamant that he had not drafted, reviewed, discussed or consulted people for “peer-review” on the nursing home report, which was published by the New York state Department of Health.
The DOJ is calling that a “criminally false statement”. Cuomo has never faced any consequences for needlessly killing all those people then trying to cover it up. He deserves whatever happens. His spokesperson is calling this, “lawfare and election interference”

VATICAN/UKRAINE/RUSSIA: Forget Trump .. Forget Versailles .. Pope Leo has offered to host Ukraine/Russia peace talks at the Vatican !! .. Ya think Zelenskyy will go for it? Putin is Christian and Zelenskyy is Jewish .. Is that like an “Away Game” for Zelenskyy??? .. Does the Pope have any experience negotiating with homicidal maniacs? .. Best of Luck, Leo !!!
IN DA SWAMP:
The Budget Reconciliation Bill passed after days of negotiations and fights.. Trump calls it his, “One Big Beautiful Bill” (Ill bet you say that to all the Bills…. )
The bill is a sweeping multi-trillion-dollar piece of legislation that advances Trump's agenda on taxes, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt.
The legislation also included new funding for the border and defense, including more money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and $25 billion to kick-start construction of a "Golden Dome" defense system over the U.S.
At the same time, the legislation seeks to make a dent in the federal government's spending trajectory by cutting roughly $1.5 trillion in government spending elsewhere. The U.S. government is more than $36 trillion in debt.
Cuts include new work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients, as well as putting more of the cost-sharing burden on states that took advantage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)'s expanded Medicaid enrollment by giving illegal immigrants access to the healthcare program.
The one thing it DOESN’T do much of.. is cut the deficit or pay down our $36 Trillion in debt .. Kick the can further down the road…
and..
THAT Didn’t go well … South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the White House to discuss relations with the USA and Trump’s assertion that the government is allowing (and/or) behind taking the land of white farmers and killing them.
Ramaphosa denied such “white genocide” was happening. Trump says, “You do have laws that were passed that allow you to take land without payment, correct”. Ramaphosa tried to compare that to “Eminent Domain”. .. Trump “‘when they take the land, they KILL the white farmer and NOTHING happens to them’” .. Ramaphosa said that’s “Not government policy”
Trump even ambushed the guy with a VIDEO .. a compilation of people’s farms being taken, violence and protests .. and BOY did Ramaphosa look uncomfortable.. .. Then the video showed men in the Congress saying “Kill the Boer” (which is a word for the white farmers)
Keep in mind.. this is a White House press conference. This happened LIVE in front of loads of reporters.. absolutely SAVAGE…
In the middle of all this.. one of the reporters asked about the jet Qatar was giving the US and Trump’s response, “you’re a bad reporter” ..HHAHAHA..
and..
ELDER ABUSE: Doctors and some reporters are saying that President Biden is the victim of Elder Abuse.. That those around him took advantage of his mental and physical health issues to benefit themselves ..

NFL: RIP to Colts owner Jim Irsay, 65. Irsay took over after his father passed and took the team to 2 Superbowls .. But.. not without controversy .. Irsay partied like a rock star …
Also NFL: The push to ban the TUSH-PUSH has failed … The “Brotherly Shove” will continue (This is when you have short yardage and you have a few lineman line up behind the running or QB .. Then push him from behind to get a first down or touchdown) ..
BOXING: Former Champ Manny Pacquiao announced he is UN-retiring. The Filipino says he will face WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on 19 July in Las Vegas. Pacquiao is now aiming to become boxing's oldest welterweight world champion.
