Not just Republicans and Jews are on Rasha Mubarak’s hit list.

Indeed, she was recently banned from entering the country. So it makes sense that she would want to hire an individual like Muslim activist Rasha Mubarak, someone who equally despises the Jewish state. Mubarak has gone so far as to say that it is a lie that Israel has a right to self-defense and has attacked anyone who states otherwise.

President Donald Trump is threatening to derail a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package passed by Congress on Monday after months of bitter negotiations.
In a video released on his Twitter feed Tuesday evening, Trump said he wants Congress to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package.
Trump blasted money appropriated for foreign aid, environmental programs and cultural institutions, calling them wasteful.
Trump did not expressly threaten to veto the legislation. It was passed by overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate, with enough votes to potentially override a presidential veto if Trump were to carry out that option.
Trump s move throws a big wrench into what s been a hotly contentious process.
