President Donald Trump says he wants the gas tax to be temporarily suspended as [empire continues its terrorism campaign against Iran] into its 11th week and keeps oil prices elevated.
He told CBS News Monday morning he wants the tax suspended "for a period of time" and would want it reintroduced "when gas goes down."
Asked by reporters in the Oval Office later in the day how long the gas tax would be suspended, the president responded, "'Til it's appropriate."
Suspending the gas tax would require an act of Congress. Currently, the tax is 18.4 cents per gallon of gas and 24.4 cents per gallon of diesel.

The Bank of England warned Wednesday that the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran could cause already-existing weaknesses in the financial system to bubble over, heightening fears around the risks that private credit and artificial intelligence stocks pose to stability.
Policymakers at the Bank identified weaknesses in private credit markets, highly priced U.S. tech stocks, and hedge fund activity in the sovereign bond market as key concerns that had lingered in the financial system before the war began — and said they could erupt at once as a result of supply chain disruption from the war.
“A substantial negative supply shock leading to tighter financing conditions increased the likelihood of these vulnerabilities crystallising at the same time, potentially amplifying their combined impacts on financial stability,” said the Bank’s Financial Policy Committee in a record of its latest meeting, published Wednesday.

>The letter states that Iran has never initiated a war and has resolutely repelled those who have attacked it, and that portraying Iran as a threat is not consistent with historical reality or present-day observable facts.
>The President invites Americans to look beyond the machinery of misinformation and consider the realities of Iran and its people, and to choose between confrontation and engagement, which will shape the future for generations to come.

Most people mistakenly assume that police solve crimes on a daily basis. According to University of Utah law professor Shima Baughman's research, just 11% of significant crimes end in an arrest and 2% in a conviction. A significant proportion of serious crimes usually remain unsolved.
What are police doing instead? Most cops spend between 46% and 81% of their time on “unassigned” duties, such as eating lunch or filling out paperwork. And when they’re on patrol, cops playing with their phones has become such a problem that even Mayor Eric Adams, a former cop himself, has expressed his “frustration.” Two weeks after the subway shooting, Adams asked New Yorkers to send him photos of officers using their phones while on duty. “We are going to start taking very aggressive actions to make sure police are patrolling our subway system and not patrolling their iPhone,” the mayor warned.

"The four detainees are saying they work for the DEA," Cabello told state television, calling the alleged plan a "maneuver for destabilization."

Cabello argued that the operation demonstrated Venezuela's commitment to combating narcotics without resorting to lethal force. "We don't apply the death penalty," he said, drawing a contrast with U.S. military strikes on alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean.

Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continued the Democrats’ piling on against Palestinians this past Sunday.
Fetterman asserted to CNN’s Manu Raju: “There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”
Asked by Raju if Israel was using “starvation as a weapon,” he claimed: “No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Israel is not deliberately starving people, absolutely.”
He added: “Those conditions are miserable there. And it is hell on earth. Why? Some people blame Israel for that? I blame Hamas and Iran for that thing.”
This continues most Democrats’ failure to recognize the Gaza genocide, even walking back the genocide assertion in the recent case of Congresswoman Katherine Clark, a top leader in the House of Representatives.

Swisscows.com seems to be working for me but I don't think I'm removing "trackers".
Can you give an example? What browser is removing the "tracker portion"? How is it doing that?
The [querystring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string) can contain trackers. But for searching it usually contains your search terms. So, if your browser is removing the querystring, then searches probably won't work.

Imagine the leader of a global superpower announcing a plan for removing an entire ethnic group from a territory they’ve long inhabited. Neighboring states would have to make land available to that superpower to resettle the displaced peoples. The refugees would “have their own administration in this territory” but they would “not acquire … citizenship” since any “sense of responsibility towards the world” would forbid making “the gift of a sovereign state” to a people “which has had no independent state for thousands of years.”
No, the plan described in brief here is not President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, proposing a United States takeover of Gaza and mass relocation of its Palestinian population. It is the so-called “Madagascar Plan,” devised by Nazi Germany in 1940 to “resettle” European Jews.
That plan was the Third Reich’s final major proposal for removing the Jews from the Greater Germanic Reich Adolf Hitler envisioned in Mein Kampf prior to the “Final Solution” — the indiscriminate shootings of Jewish men, women, and children on the Eastern Front, leading to mass killings in death camps and gas chambers in late 1941. In that history lies a warning: Plans for the mass relocation of a population seen as troublesome or dangerous can rapidly devolve into the loss of sovereignty, of human and civil rights, and, eventually, ethnic cleansing.
