Right. How can we even think thats constitutional . How is that going to make San Francisco electionsators they wo washington, d. C. Or sacramento in the eyes of the voters of the rest of the country . How do they have confidence that . So texas cant enforce their laws on illegal immigration invasions into their state, but San Francisco can ignore federal law and allow illegal aliens to vote in their local elections and set up ultimately to legitimati tote in federal elec .

I applaud the biden administrations new mission to airdrop food and other aid directly into gaza in collaboration with our jordaniah israeli forces.

I wish to submit for the record, a proposal for negotiated truce and a twostate solution that will allow for rebuilding. Ill submit this for the record. The u. S. Is prepared to carry continued airdrops if we can work with our allies to achieve it by sea or air. The World Community can help.
