The Biden administration for the second time this month has bypassed Congress to approve the transfer of nearly $150 million in military equipment to Israel

Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed Congress that he has made an emergency determination to immediately approve the transfer of “155mm ancillary items including fuzes, charges, and primers that make 155mm shells functional,” a State Department spokesperson said Friday.

The spokesperson said the additional items were added to previous sales, which “increased the total value of the sale to $147.5 million.”

Earlier this month, the administration rushed forward a sale of thousands of munitions to Israel, bypassing the standard 20-day period that congressional committees are typically afforded to review such a sale. The State Department sent an emergency declaration to the oversight committees that more than 13,000 tank shells would be delivered to Israel without any “further information, details or assurances.”

      You’d be wrong about that, but I feel like you’re the kind of person to believe whatever he wants.

          People keep telling me Trump is in bed with Russia, who is in bed with Iran, who is in bed with Hamas.
