Last night President Joe Biden attempted to connect the dots between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Today Marion McKeone attempts to explain the latest developments. Biden is seeking a massive influx of spending to support Israel and by lumping the two conflicts together he is clearly trying to go round those who view Ukraine as a losing battle. Jim Jordan's challenge for the role of speaker looks dead in the water or is it? We dig into the questions you have submitted including the latest in the Trump RICO indictment, the use of opinion polls and Britney Spears' starting new memoir. (Patreon exclusive content)
