The one rule of politics Kamala Harris needs to follow but the Democrats are already breaking

Success in democratic politics is actually a lot simpler than it seems. Just be normal. Or, at least, more normal than the other side.

Bush this week is expected to sign a bill making it harder to place bets on the Internet, a practice which already is illegal in the United States. Bush was expected to act quickly after Congress approved the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, making it illegal for financial institutions and credit card companies to process payments to settle Internet bets. It also created stiff penalties for online wagers. Billions of dollars are wagered online each year and the United States is considered the biggest market. AFP PHOTO/Karen BLEIER

JERUSALEM - MARCH 20: Right wing activists protest against UNRWA on March 20, 2024 in Jerusalem. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has been the target of regular protests since last month, when Israel alleged that 13 of the agency's 13,000 Gaza employees participated in October 7 attacks. The agency subsequently fired several employees.(Photo by Amir Levy/Getty Images)

Why do taxpayers fund agency shot through with hate?

The UNRWA is shot through with hate and is an obstacle to peace. So why should another dollar of taxpayer money be given to them to spread more hostility, argues James Morrow.
