One of my best friends put together a crew to sell hot dogs and beer to the fans at Angel Stadium, he died a while back, it is sad, I miss him, he was a great guy, and he helped a lot of people. He hired the homeless from homeless shelters, and he hired the people from N/A and they sold hot dogs and beer at Angel Stadium, and they raised over one million dollars for charity to feed the hungry people, they raised money for Canning Hunger. He was a great person. And he was a retired doctor, so he was smart, he was a doctor for the Navy in Pennsylvania, and he was a Combat Medic for the Marine Corps, he was a smart guy. He helped a lot of people.

Salute,

Zelensky coming to Congress with his hand out for more charity.
How many $ billions this time?
What do the modern Pravdae you immerse yourself in tell you, Boris?

I am sure Wagner Red will tell us when the Ukrainian aid package finally exceeds what we routinely give to the Saudis to support their enlightened government that always works to support our interests.

The BS does help him distract himself from the growing likelihood that republicans will not have the votes for any speaker of the house. Word is they are getting ready to make a good will gesture and leave the gavel to Hakeem Jeffries

What's being done now is not working, his country and his people are slowly but surely being removed from existence by Russia.
He's begging for help.
Maybe a cheaper tactic could be to starve the people of Iran so they rise up and overthrow the govt and then drones being supplied to Russia could cease.
We tried that to force them to get rid of nukes. Did not work then will not work now.

The lady who owns In N Out Burger is a BILLIONAIRE from selling hamburgers, and she pays her managers $120,000 per year to run her restaurants for her.

And every new day we get 50,000 more hungry tourists to feed here in Anaheim.

But, it is harder than it seems to even do a little thing like selling food to hungry tourists.

Their entry wage is what? What kind of rental does that get you if you are trying to live indoors through that work?

At the casino where I worked in Battle Mountain, we had Bally slot machines, and it was easy money for the casino, and the casino made money from selling the people food and drinks while the people gambled. It was a good place to work, I enjoyed it, and our head chef was a retired chef from Beverly Hills, California, we had great food. It was a good job, but they need to pay the cooks higher wages. I support fair pay for the chefs.

Bally's is a good company to remember if you ever want to open your own casino...

The entry pay at In N Out Burger is good, and I have extended family who he is the assistant manager at an In N Out Burger and he owns his own mobile home, in a mobile home park in Southern California, and he owns a new pick-up truck. In N Out is a great place to work.

Thankfully a paywall prevents reading another Frum clickbait.

But, to set the record straight:

 Congress has no authority to refer specific individuals for prosecution. It is beyond the scope of its constitutional authority.( which is to legislate)
And, A congressional committee officially voting to refer a named individual for prosecution violates the spirit of the explicit prohibition against congressional bills of attainder.
Yes they do no it is not and no it does not.

Thanks.  In spite of a pragmatic parsimony of punctuation, your points were perfectly pellucid.

Also somewhat a conundrum how something can be paywall blocked and clickbait ATST.  Here is a screenshot:

It is 12 below zero, Fahrenheit here.  That's the temperature at which nostril hairs freeze and give an odd crackling sensation as you breathe. 

Tonight minus 20 predicted with a windchill possibly reaching minus 40.  Anyone know what's a special feature of minus 40?  ( This will help you at trivia contests )

If you failed to understand the lack of constitutional  authority Congress has been given in this matter then you simply underscore your ignorance.
As for a Frum  paywall it is a blessing to not have to read his partisan prattling.
Your insistence  in republishing his stupidness reaffirms my initial reaction.

The Persian Revolution has already started. The Persians have been marching all around the world in support of improved human rights for the women and people of Iran.

One of our allies in the Persian Revolution is Mahlagha Jaberi, who is a Persian influencer on the world wide web. Mahlagha Jaberi came here to California from Iran. Many Persians live in California. We need to turn up the voices of the good Persians such as Mahlagha Jaberi and we need to put her in Playboy, and on Good Morning America, and on every local morning news show in the USA, and we need to make the beautiful Persians who want freedom heard in their struggle for freedom and for improved women's rights, and for improved human rights for all in Iran.

Salute,

Tony V.

As concerned citizens and public officials they have the obligation to report criminal organizations and their ongoing heinous acts of subversion to the proper authorities, which they did.

If more citizens were helpful that way there would be no republican party. 

The committee has set us a very good example. It is an important step on the path to getting over conservative politics and giving conservative leaders the incarceration that so many so richly deserve.

There is no Constitutional bar to congress referring possible crimes to the Department of Justice for further investigation. Just ask Steve Bannon. Your insistence to the contrary simply underscores your ignorance.

Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress(interfering with its legislative duties)
Apples and oranges.
