UK to be one of worst performing economies this year, predicts IMF
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
The World Bank, as well as 17 independent forecasts (see my post above) are convergent, and make similar forecasts. -
Hatred of white! ???? You should write "hatred by white" "Most violent far-right perpetrators were motivated by white supremacist or anti-government sentiments, and they committed most of the fatal attacks in 2021." https://www.csis.org/analysis/pushed-extremes-domestic-terrorism-amid-polarization-and-protest

Wagner Boss Claims Russia’s Mission Accomplished in Ukraine
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in The War in Ukraine
Ahem! Who was spreading propaganda? "The FSB's reported calculation of almost 110,000 casualties by February is still far lower than numbers this week in previously leaked US documents, which estimated Russian losses at between 189,500 and 223,000 casualties, with 35,500-43,000 men killed in action. Russia's most recent official figure dates back to September last year, when the deaths of 5,937 servicemen were confirmed." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65260672 -
Lies and mistakes are not the same. Fox News was knowingly lying about election fraud. Not a mistake. About the OP issue, they also knowingly hid evidence they were compelled to provide. Not a mistake either.

Wagner Boss Claims Russia’s Mission Accomplished in Ukraine

Some comme terms claim it may not be only his personal opinion and that he was told to present this scenario, in order to test the reaction of public opinion (incl. In Russia), and of Ukraine allies. -

And not particularly successful nor profitable in Mali.... "One year after the Wagnerians arrived in Mali, results have been, at best, mixed; and at worst, a failure. Wagner’s 1,400 mercenaries have been unsuccessful in military action against the jihadists and restoring state-controlled security to the country. Despite numerous operations, GSIM remains present, apparently further extending its territory towards the south. The large-scale GSIM attack, carried out on 22 July 2022 against the Kati military camp, demonstrated to Malian military colonels that Iyad Ag Ghaly was not as distant an enemy as previously believed. The threats continue to rise in the northeast of Mali." https://www.theafricareport.com/273152/the-wagner-wars-malian-edition/ -
Biden’s poll numbers look grim as he preps for reelection bid
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
From the OP article "Biden’s 43-percent approval rating at this juncture of his term puts him roughly even with past presidents who have both won — Barack Obama (43 percent), Ronald Reagan (41 percent) — and lost, like Trump (42 percent) and Jimmy Carter (40 percent)." -
So if I understand well, It's popular because it is easy to use, and one can quickly kill many people. No comment needed.

US takes Texas abortion pill case to Supreme Court
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Spot on. The pro-ban party (GOP) is even striving to restrict child-related benefits to married families, de facto excluding the people who need it most (single parents). Just an example (There are many others): "A NEWLY INTRODUCED Texas House bill proposes property tax cuts for couples who get married, stay married, and have lots of children. There’s a catch though. In order to qualify for the tax benefit, couples need to be heterosexual, never divorced, and their children born or adopted after their date of marriage. LGBTQ couples, single parents, divorced parents, and blended families will not qualify for full benefits." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/texas-republicans-tax-cuts-straight-couples-many-children-1234689876/ -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/ In a way you are right. The WAPO counted how much times he lied. As he repeated the same lies over and over, ex the big lie, It's not the number of lies, It's only the number of times he lied. But that's only during his presidency. He started long before that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veracity_of_statements_by_Donald_Trump

Stephen Colbert Spots The Exact Moment That Could Mean Fox News Is Screwed "In the recording, she asks if he has evidence that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has an interest in Dominion. “I’ve read that, I can’t prove that,” Giuliani replied. Colbert rolled a clip of Bartiromo then saying on the air about Dominion: “I understand Nancy Pelosi has an interest in this company.” Colbert called that “the phrase that pays,” which in this case could be the phrase that forces Fox News to pay out $1.6 billion" https://news.yahoo.com/stephen-colbert-spots-exact-moment-064858029.html

Well, at least when Latin people promise you something for 'Manana' or 'ahorita', there is still a slight chance it will happen within a few months' time! ????
