Israel is now stopping all humanitarian aid to Gaza “until further notice.” Trump flew to Israel to tout his ceasefire plan in front of the Knesset last week. That looks like a wink and a nod at this point. An expensive wink and nod: an Air Force One junket that will hit taxpayers hard for nothing.

“Took my woman to the grocery store (Yes I did).

— Johnny “Guitar” Watson (1979)
