Public support for new Brexit referendum revealed
What a biased presentation in this article. Two graphs below. One willfully omitting the Eurozone from the linked article, and the other with the Eurozone GDP forecast. The growth forecast for UK is less than half of the GDP growth forecast in the Eurozone (which includes the weight of the bad performance of Germany). https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

Biden Team Isn’t Waiting for Impeachment to Go on the Offensive
So still no evidence, just wishes. As concerns Trump he did not ask for evidence he balackmailed Zelinski to make a public statement on TV. If he just wanted an investigation, there were legal ways to do it through the DOJ thanks to a cooperation agreement with Ukraine (provided it would have been correctly predicated). The DOJ did not ask for an investigation using the legal way. Instead Trump sent the crooked Giuliani who not only found nothing (see Parnas testimony) but also debunked Trump's claim.

Christie says latest Trump attack makes him ‘really concerned for his mental health’
Only if you consider the Dems as being left-wing, which I don't (apart from a particular fringe, AOC etc...). CNN is 100% pro-capitalism.

Prosecutors will seek Hunter Biden indictment by end of September
Another hit at the GOP lame sweetheart deal argument. ???? "Except Weiss may not actually be able to bring the charge. Last year, the Supreme Court significantly loosened gun control laws when the conservative majority ruled that Americans have a general right to arm themselves in public. Biden’s lawyers have already argued that the ruling makes trying to prosecute the first son on gun charges pointless." Trump-Stacked Supreme Court May Have Already Exonerated Hunter Biden https://news.yahoo.com/trump-stacked-supreme-court-may-164313329.html I guess that Smith was aware of it and that was one reason for proposing a deal.

Biden Team Isn’t Waiting for Impeachment to Go on the Offensive
It's a recurrent pattern since the Murdoch group has seen its wallet and reputation hit by the Dominion case. NYPost articles often have misleading titles and content, but the truth can usually be found around the end if the article, so they are covered up.

PM Vows to Crackdown on Corruption
The problem with anti-corruption policies in Thailand is that, if they are effectively applied, there won't be anyone left to enforce them! ????

Trump's Mar-a-Lago IT director Yuscil Taveras changes course to implicate the former president in classified doc case
“I don’t talk about anything. You know why? Because I’m allowed to do whatever I want. I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt. “I’m not telling you. You know, every time I talk to you, ‘Oh, I have a breaking story.’ You don’t have any story. I come under the Presidential Records Act. I’m allowed to do everything I did.” ????

Russian cyber-attacks ‘relentless’ as threat of WW3 grows, expert warns
Are you that uninformed, really? Or are you knowingly selective about what you "found" with Google? The dark web is known, for example, for hosting drug trade as well as paedophile content sharing and trade (paid with crypto-currencies, of course). Download Tor, and have a look by yourself before you quickly go out and uninstall it.

Biden biographer says it ‘wouldn’t be a total shock’ if president drops out of 2024 race
Average life expectancy is a misleading indicator as it includes early deaths in the calculation (ex infant deaths, people who died before old age from disease, accident, crime, drug, etc...). The life expectancy of someone who is not already dead is higher than the average life expectancy.

Biden biographer says it ‘wouldn’t be a total shock’ if president drops out of 2024 race
Only if, as usual, you connect only the dots you like and ignore the ones you don't like. 1. The position of the Obama administration has always been to complain about Burisma not being effectively investigated, before and after the nomination of Shokin as prosecutor general Feb. 3, 2015 — Obama administration conveys harsh criticism of Ukraine Prosecutor General’s Office for its coverup of Zlochevskiy/Burisma Feb. 10, 2015 – Viktor Shokin takes office as Ukraine’s prosecutor general" Sept. 24, 2015 – U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt excoriates officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office for stymying anti-corruption investigations, including those involving Burisma https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/ 2. As to Hunter complaining about having given a lot of money (while asking his sister to give him money, hmmm....), here's what the right-wing NYPost reported: There were $1,239 in repairs to an air conditioner at “mom-mom’s cottage,” and another $1,475 to a painter for “back wall and columns at the lake house.” There was also another $2,600 for fixing up a “stone retaining wall at the lake” and $475 “for shutters.” ???? ......... "There’s also evidence Joe Biden sometimes reimbursed his son." https://nypost.com/2022/04/09/hunter-biden-frequently-covered-family-expenses-texts-reveal/ But don't let facts get in the way of a good MAGA story, right?

Thai leadership insights: Decade-long study proves remarkably accurate
And I am even more suspicious about the way these vague and complex principles can be effectively measured with any reliability, and correlated with performance. BTW, Bruce who?

Anti-corruption commission candidate rejected
Never, as they appoint each other. Of course, it may be possible to change the constitution, but they have a say on it, too. After the recent electoral debacle, the only remaining asset of the yellow-green network is its hold on the Judiciary and semi-judiciary (agencies). They will never let it go.

Trump seeks to make the most of historic Georgia mugshot
However, a 2022 article in the University of Georgia School of Law’s Journal of Intellectual Property Law noted, “In the context of photographs taken by law enforcement during the booking process, the author of the mugshot photograph is the law enforcement agency.” That could mean that if the Fulton County sheriff wants to go after Donald Trump for those profits, he might have the legal ground to do so. ????

Anti-corruption commission candidate rejected
"Independent" The NACC is a key asset for the yellow-green establishment (to which the current Senators belong). They are not going to approve someone who is not fully compliant. Same for the EC (which will select the members of committees and panels who will select the next batch of Senators).

France to ban female students from wearing abayas in state schools
It should be noted that wearing abaya is an arabic peninsula tradition ( and by expansion other middle-east countries). Most of the Muslim population in France originates from Northern Africa, where wearing abaya is not a tradition. It is likely an influence from Saudi Arabia's Wahhabism.
