My favorite blogger is freelance journalist and author Jane Stillwater. She goes everywhere. She even went to Iraq a couple of times, self-funded.

Here's a link to her latest blog post:

AIPAC's Dilemma: Jewish Sanders or War Hawk Clinton?

"When the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee holds their annual convention in Washington DC this March, who are they gonna endorse for the Democratic presidential nominee? Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish -- or Hillary Clinton, the ultimate war hawk ..."

is Jewish enough and then try to talk her into bombing every Muslim country in the mideast. Maybe she'll do it, maybe not. Probably have to let Goldman Sachs figure out the highest profitability for the various possible bombings and invasions. In this country we literally have "Bang for the Buck," you know.

it is about Israel and money. Sanders being Jewish means nothing to them.

AIPAC buys politicians and Bernie can't be bought.

I forgot to mention that Donald Trump addresses AIPAC on Monday. Will he tell them about his idea that the USA should not take sides in the Middle East? Or maybe he'll go with his proposed Muslim ban and tell them how the Great Wall of Trump is going to be bigger and more beautiful than the wall Israel has?

Via The Intercept:

Bernie Sanders confirmed on Friday that he will not attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington next week, and his campaign revealed that the candidate’s offer to address the gathering by video link was turned down by the organizers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address the conference via satellite.

I am very glad that the Bernster is skipping this Israeli lovefest. AIPAC can take Netanyaboob and screw off. I'm sick and tired of our tax dollars going to worthless countries like Israel. How have they helped we the American People? Zilch, nada. Of course, the Robber Barons in the MICC love 'em! Barfarama!

Clinton Bashes Trump's Israel Wobbliness In AIPAC Speech

In a speech to a major conference held by a top U.S.-Israeli group, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton implicitly criticized Donald Trump's past positioning on Israel.

"We need steady hands, not a president who says he's neutral on Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday, and who knows what on Wednesday, because everything's negotiable," Clinton said at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (or AIPAC) conference in Washington, D.C. Monday. "Well, my friends, Israel's security is nonnegotiable."

Trump has promised that if he is elected President the USA will be a neutral party in peace negotiations between Palestine and Israel.
