Progressives are very angry at AIPAC that they helped defeat the anti-Semite communist Cori Bush. Their anger is “growing,” says The Hill. Fellow Democrat Wesley Bell unseated Bush in a primary where AIPAC spent aggressively against her. Just weeks prior, the group poured $15 million in a primary to defeat anti-Semite Rep.

Prosecutors with the Department of Justice have asked the court to deny convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh’s appeal of his sentence for financial crimes. Federal prosecutors argued that part of Murdaugh’s plea deal included a stipulation that he sign away his right to appeal the sentence, Fox News reported. Murdaugh pled guilty in September 2023 to 22 counts of fraud and other financial crimes after reaching a plea agreement with federal prosecutors. “For more than 15 years, he spun a complex web of exploitation, manipulation and deceit, preying on highly vulnerable victims in pursuit of his own financial gain,” federal prosecutors wrote in a motion filed in federal court last week, according to Fox. Murdaugh’s attorneys and federal prosecutors had asked U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel for a 30-year sentence to run concurrently with Murdaugh’s 27-year sentence for state financial crime and consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife Maggie, and youngest son, Paul. Instead, Gergel sentenced Murdaugh to 40 years in prison for the federal financial crimes, which Murdaugh’s attorneys have called cruel and unusual punishment. In appealing the sentence, Murdaugh’s attorneys argued that the 40-year sentence is effectively a life sentence, given Murdaugh’s age, WCSC reported. Murdaugh, who is 55, is required to serve at least 85% of his sentence, which amounts to 34 years. However, the life expectancy of a 55-year-old man is only another 24 years, according to the Social Security Administration. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Murdaugh’s appeal said the state guidelines should have sentenced him between 17 and 22 years for the crimes and cites three similar cases with median sentences of 17.5 years. Judge Gergel sentenced Murdaugh to the longer term, stating in his ruling that Murdaugh stole money from “the most needy, vulnerable people.” This included a client who was left without the use of his arms or legs after a crash and a trust fund for children whose parents had been killed in a car crash. Murdaugh pleaded guilty to stealing millions of dollars from his previous law firm and its clients and, in addition to prison time, was ordered to pay more than $8 million in restitution to his victims.  

A significant fire erupted at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, on August 11, 2024, amid escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russian forces, who currently control the plant, of deliberately igniting the fire in a provocative act of "nuclear blackmail" aimed at destabilizing the region and intimidating Western nations​. The fire, which sent billows of black smoke into the sky, was reportedly caused by Russian troops setting tires ablaze in the plant’s cooling towers. This action was perceived as an attempt to create the illusion of a catastrophic fire, a move that has only deepened the already intense fears surrounding the safety of the nuclear facility. Ukraine's energy authorities confirmed that radiation levels remain normal, but the incident has further underscored the precariousness of the situation as long as the plant remains under Russian occupation​. Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant: cooling towers is fire.The plant is in Russian-occupied Ukraine & under Russian control. This doesn't mean the reactor is in danger. Russian propagandists say thy're burning tires in the tower. Uh-huh… sure they are. pic.twitter.com/yXPAjx8txz — Synthentral (Blair Scott) (@synthentral) August 11, 2024 Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been a focal point of international concern. The plant, which previously supplied about a fifth of Ukraine's electricity, has been the subject of numerous warnings from global nuclear watchdogs, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). These warnings have emphasized the potential dangers posed by military operations in and around such a sensitive site​. The situation at Zaporizhzhia has become increasingly volatile, with both Ukrainian and Russian forces trading accusations over attacks on the facility. Moscow has consistently blamed Ukrainian forces for shelling the plant, claims that have been met with skepticism from international observers. In the latest incident, Russian-installed officials in the region alleged that a Ukrainian "kamikaze drone" struck the plant, though no evidence has been provided to support this assertion​.

Yes, Ukraine is absolutely insane. pic.twitter.com/EgP3QtxiuI — DD Geopolitics (@DD_Geopolitics) August 12, 2024 Zelenskyy has condemned Russia's tactics, arguing that the occupation and militarization of the nuclear plant represent a grave threat not only to Ukraine but to the entire European continent. He has called for immediate international intervention to secure the site and prevent further escalation. The Ukrainian leader’s concerns are shared by many in the West, who fear that any misstep at the plant could lead to a disaster on the scale of the 1986 Chernobyl accident​. The latest flare-up at Zaporizhzhia comes just days after Ukraine launched a major military operation in Russia's Kursk region, marking one of the boldest moves in the conflict to date. Ukrainian forces, numbering around 1,000 troops, reportedly pushed 20 kilometers into Russian territory, capturing several towns and triggering a mass evacuation of civilians from the area. The timing of the fire at the nuclear plant has led to speculation that Russia's actions might be a response to Ukraine's growing military assertiveness​. In response to these developments, the international community has reiterated calls for Russia to withdraw from the Zaporizhzhia plant and allow for an independent assessment of its safety. The IAEA has once again offered to send a team of experts to the site, a proposal that has so far been rejected by Moscow. As the conflict drags on, the risk of a nuclear catastrophe remains a critical concern, with both sides seemingly willing to use the plant as a pawn in their ongoing war​. The situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant remains fluid, with the potential for further escalation as both Ukraine and Russia continue to jockey for strategic advantage. The international community will be watching closely, aware that any miscalculation could have dire consequences for the entire region.
