Maybe because it's been debunked long time ago, and also because no one trusts the GOP led committee for telling the truth https://www.factcheck.org/2022/04/attorney-general-never-called-concerned-parents-domestic-terrorists/

Trump loses again in yet another court fight over Mar-a-Lago documents scandal
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Trump has been rather quiet about it, indeed. It's now three weeks since the last time he insulted the special counsel. It's unusual. -
Gag! Trump golf resorts at Turnberry and Balmedie lost £4.4m in 2021 "Brexit has impacted our business as supply chains have been impacted by availability of drivers and staff, reducing deliveries and the availability of certain product lines," he wrote. Eric Trump also said staff availability had been a "challenge" due to wage inflation caused by "increased business levels" in the retail and logistics sectors, adding the "staffing pool" had been indirectly affected by Brexit "with lack of access to European staff for businesses in general resulting in greater demand for the individuals previously available at the resort". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-64497946

She's actually quite well considered in the MAGA sphere, including by some BMs. Of course, she's an embarrassment, but her B.S. also works well among some categories of voters. I think most GOP politicians are quite happy to have a few people specialised in spreading useful B.S., without being themselves compromised with it.

The NE is one of the regions most affected by Brexit, in particular because the dependence of its industry from EU markets. Contrary to the title of a song by a famous rock band, they have been fooled again, it seems.

Antony Blinken in Jerusalem: Urgent steps needed for calm
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
No what? Are you claiming that the Bible accurately describes the historical reality, and that historians confirm this claim? -
Antony Blinken in Jerusalem: Urgent steps needed for calm
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Ahem! It's a bit more complex than that as the Bible is a religious book and not an history book. Let's be clear: I am not saying that Jews were not in Israel at that time. I am just recalling that, as all religious books, the Bible may have only a remote relation to the historical reality. -
Obviously you have not read or understood the article. Actually, it even in the title: recessions. An article under paywall, but based on this paper which can be downloaded freely. Interestingly enough, it is an IMF research paper. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2018/03/05/How-Well-Do-Economists-Forecast-Recessions-45672 Yes, economists are poor at predicting recessions (or downturns), that is periods of significant change, and usually tended to be too optimistic. As shown in the paper, the IMF record is not worse than others, such as Consensus. The paper doesn't conclude they are poor at predicting anything (under the limit of the exercise, which is an attached probability). Only significant recessions. In the case of the 2023 report, It's not about predicting a recession, as It's a short-term forecast under conditions which are not expected to change. So your remark is not relevant for the OP topic (unless you claim that unexpected events may even create a harsher recession).

Netanyahu says don’t get ‘hung up’ on peace with Palestinians first
candide replied to webfact's topic in World News
OK (if this poll is reliable). However, people being people, opinions are influenced by perceptions. After years of Netanyahu's government, and on top of it after the so-called Trump "peace" plan, it is obvious that Palestinians were not expecting to see the opportunity of any fair two state solution soon. When there is no realistic reply option, and you are <deleted>-off, choosing the less realistic and most provocative reply (regaining all of Palestinia) is not a surprising reaction. -
It is actually sourced locally. The U.S. are already producing most of what is needed, and are a net exporter of energy. The only reasons the U.S. are still importing crude oil is that (1) some needed varieties are not easily found in the U.S. soil and (2) some crude oil is imported, then refined and re-exported.

That's ridiculous (of course, It's from Cruz). No need to get access to secret documents to get this information.. This type of information was widely avaible in press articles, published policy analyses and consulting report. -

And he's still trusting Putin more than U.S. intelligence services... “Remember in Helsinki when a 3rd rate reporter asked me, essentially, who I trusted more, President Putin of Russia, or our ‘Intelligence’ lowlifes[?]” wrote the former president on Truth Social in a Monday morning post. He continued: “My instinct at the time was that we had really bad people in the form of James Comey, McCabe (whose wife was being helped out by Crooked Hillary while Crooked was under investigation!), Brennan, Peter Strzok (whose wife is at the SEC) & his lover, Lisa Page. Now add McGonigal & other slime to the list. Who would you choose, Putin or these Misfits?” https://news.yahoo.com/trump-makes-shocking-comments-trusting-231949457.html

Exactly. It's just right-wing B.S. with doesn't pass the reality test. "Experts in psychology and child development said they are not aware of any evidence showing that increased exposure to LGBTQ people or topics makes children more likely to join the LGBTQ community. Instead, they said it is likely an environment of increased acceptance allows people to more openly consider whether they might be part of the LGBTQ community." https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/may/11/why-its-not-grooming-what-research-says-about-gend/ As to sexual abuse and grooming, statistics also don't support the right-wing claims. https://www.d2l.org/wpcontent/uploads/2017/01/all_statistics_20150619.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwim3t3c7_D8AhXiXqQEHRbwDgEQFnoECCoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1soXkA9WaCw1qgTLHoI9WA https://www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/national-statistics-on-child-abuse/
