🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Did you know more than 35 U.S. states have laws that require American companies to sign a written pledge promising not to boycott Israel as a condition of doing business with the government?
In Arizona, the law applies to contracts of $100,000 or more for companies with 10 employees.
Refuse to sign the pledge, and you can't get the contract.
Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Iowa, and Wisconsin all have versions of the same law.
Let that sink in.
American businesses are being required to pledge loyalty to a foreign government's economic interests in order to do business with their own government.
Free speech, but only when it doesn't inconvenience Tel Aviv.
How is this not the biggest story in the country?

🚨🇺🇸 The Pentagon says the Iran war cost $29 billion... Analysts say: try $1 trillion!
Linda Blimes at the Harvard Kennedy School laid out some troubling math.
The $29B only covers current munitions and operations.
The real bill compounds for years through replacement costs (Tomahawks valued at $2M each now cost $3.5M to replace), facility repairs spanning 4-5 years, weapons restocking with higher-tech systems, and veterans' care for 55,000 troops potentially exposed to hazards.
Add the global economic damage.
Oil locked around $100/barrel.
Gas potentially hitting $5/gallon nationally.
Bush fired his economic adviser for predicting Iraq would cost $200 billion.
The actual price was $5 trillion.
Wars always cost more than promised.
The receipts arrive later, on the backs of the people who never got asked.
