Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Intro]
We can be together
Ah, you and me
We should be together

[Verse 1]
We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive, we steal, cheat, lie, forge, ----, hide, and deal
We are obscene, lawless, hideous, dangerous, dirty, violent
And young

[Chorus 1]
We should be together
Come on all you people standin' around
Our life's too fine to let it die
We should be together

[Bridge]
All your private property is
Target for your enemy
And your enemy is we

Sen. Mark Kelly says vote on healthcare subsidies alone won't end shutdown
www.politico.com

... As the government shutdown drags into its third week, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Sunday that a vote from Republican lawmakers to extend healthcare subsidies will not alone be enough to reopen the government, instead calling on the GOP to pledge to help fix the problem.

"We need a real negotiation and we need a fix," Kelly told host Kristen Welker on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We need this corrected for the American people. For so many people, their health care is running toward a cliff, and if we don't fix this, it's going to go right over it, and having some vote without an assured outcome." ...

Trump confesses he knows he is not heaven-bound in stunning admission
www.irishstar.com

... President Donald Trump continued joking about getting into heaven on Sunday as speculation grows that he's at "death's door."

The president was asked over the weekend whether the recent historic ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel would improve his chances of getting into heaven. The bizarre question came after he previously indicated that he hoped his involvement in ending the Russia-Ukraine war could make a good case to get him into paradise.

"I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven," the president said aboard the presidential plane.

Weirdly, he then went on his usual rants about his theory that former President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, arguing that if he had won that race, the Russia-Ukraine war would not have happened, and hence, ...

Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan in full
www.bbc.com

... 9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the "Board of Peace," which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform programme, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. ...
