Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Michael Goodwin writing for The New York Post sums the Obama Administration’s attitude with a simple sentence, “Thou shall not cross Dear Leader.”
With their gutter sniping failing to stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned March speech before Congress, White House aides are “unloading their full arsenal of bile,” as Goodwin continues:
School Choice Week starts today in Oklahoma and across America. Throughout the Week, which runs until January 31, there will be 79 school choice events across the Sooner State.
