The most likely Republican candidate in 2028 is Marco Rubio.

I have done it in CM, using EMS with return receipt by EMS as well. It's good if you live far from Immigration.

I agree that Kamala's laugh and tone was really unappealing, rather like those young American women with speech and intonation disconnected from any part of the country, Call it metropolitan bourgeoise? Her dismissive retort to Muslims in Dearborn showed no empathy toward people, some of whom had family in the Occupied Territories. Beltway Bubble, perhaps. Anyway, election results there were Harris 37%, Trump 43%, Stein 19%. I thought that Amy Klobuchar would have been a sensible candidate, but she was up for reelection as senator last year. Her speaking is a huge contrast to Kamala's.

In view of Britain's historic relationship to Europe and its proximity, the sensible solution on trade would be to harmonize goods standards or have UK and EU mutually accept the other's goods standards.

The most disgusting was when right-wing AIPAC manipulated two Democratic primaries to get rid of incumbents by contributing $9 million in the case of Cori Bush (MO) and $12 million in the case of Jamaal Bowman (NY).

It does seem like America is going manic as it reacts in the runup to January 20th. Maybe informed foreigners see better what is happening to America than the locals can.

My roommate's thesis was on the Peter Principle. exploring the idea of promoting someone above his/her failed position to see whether he/she would display new competence. So perhaps the Dems should ask her to wait until they could expand the membership of the Supreme Court and then appoint her to it.

The tank firing which killed all the people in the house has been widely reported, so why don't you know about it? Anyway, I should try to ignore the people who keep repeating lies that are not germane to the subject of a thread, so the point of my latest reply was to return to the subject of the thread: Israel's Disinformation Campaign Against UNWRA, and I supplied relevant links on that subject.

You need an eSata drive to record programs for playback anytime later, but I heard that Truevisions is no longer selling them, or even providing replacements for their sat receiver boxes. I saw that they have a new approach, streaming with the possibility of playing any program that aired in the previous 7 days. That's not convenient for me when I go out of the country for a month. Truevisions recently deleted CNBC, but fortunately I only watch Meet the Press which NBC allows us to see online without their streaming subscription.

People in Iran are mostly born after 1953. but they are nonetheless aware that the CIA ran a coup that ousted the democratic government led by Mossadegh and elevated the Shah to autocrat status supported by SAVAK,a rather unpleasant secret police, so like the Syrians, I doubt that Iranians would like the interference of Mossad or CIA to institute regime change.

Now I have found out how to post the link from x.com: https://x.com/Israel/status/1728031404708032701 Trying to get back to where the comment about dead babies evolved from the original subject, UNWRA, I noticed that a lot of your posts replying to comments by others was the demand to post "credible" links. Sometimes people were only making very general statements with no specifics, so why was a link warranted? So here are links related to "Israel’s Disinformation Campaign Against UNRWA". These links report that Israel's claims were unsubstantiated: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/22/israel-unrwa-staff-terrorist-links-yet-to-provide-evidence-colonna-report https://www.reuters.com/world/no-evidence-israel-back-unrwa-accusations-says-eu-humanitarian-chief-2024-03-14/ An UNWRA report says that "some employees released into Gaza from Israeli detention reported having been pressured by Israeli authorities into falsely stating that the agency has Hamas links and that staff took part in the Oct. 7 attacks." https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unrwa-report-says-israel-coerced-some-agency-employees-falsely-admit-hamas-links-2024-03-08/ Do you have credible sources (with links) to substantiate Israel's claims?

Parallel to the OP question, if you have a retirement visa, is it possible to apply for less than 365 days extension in order to have the renewal date fall in a less busy period such as the rainy season?

The "baby-raper", baby beheader, baby burner hasbara was all debunked long ago. What did come out was than an Israeli general ordered a tank to fire on a house in a kibbutz where a few Hamas were holding a dozen or so Israelis, including young children. The Israeli act resulted in burned, dead children. Collateral damage.

I could not check your NYT link since I canceled my subscription a while ago after the newspaper reported IDF claims as fact without any apparent attempt to verify them. As to the European parliament link, it is just some members exercising their free speech right, not any demonstration of fact. Similarly, NPR is just reporting what the Israeli government told them. I agree that al-Monitor is good. Here is their story on the 296-page Amnesty report just issued on Israel's genocide in Gaza: https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2024/12/amnesty-international-accuses-israel-committing-genocide-gaza
