Vaccine Choice Canada is an anti-vax organization that continues to peddle debunked claims and conspiracy theories regarding vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Not sure how that works.

When the criticism starts coming from the Editorial Board of the WSJ, then you know Rupert Murdoch is getting tired of Trump. Last to turn will be the New York Post, as it is the most MAGA of Murdoch's press. But turn it eventually will. Murdoch and the other billionaires are only in it for the tax cuts. But for tax cuts to be meaningful, there has to be income and asset values have to remain steady. As it becomes clear that Trump is destroying their fortunes, they'll dump him. If Trump keeps up this tariff madness, it won't take long.

I used Skype for calls to family members, banks and government departments in the US and had both an annual calling subscription and a Skype-in number. The annual cost was $70. I have replaced it with Phone2 by paying a one-time fee of $99. For that fee I can call numbers in the US without additional charge and I also received a new US number for incoming calls. I could have ported my Skype-in number, but did not see the need. So far, the Phone2 call quality has been very good. I don't use it for 2FA, so can't comment on whether it would work with banks. For a while I was receiving several telemarketing calls every night on the new US number, usually between 9 pm and 5 am. Most of the calls were companies trying to sell Medicare Advantage plans or similar. Once I registered the number with the Federal do-not-call list, the calls stopped completely. I don't know why I never received such calls on my Skype-in number. One service that Phone2 does not provide for personal accounts is outgoing SMS messaging, but I have no need for that at present.

My daughter was asked to show her US passport when exiting Thailand on her Thai passport. I suspect the IO was just making sure she would be able to enter at her destination as she had no visas in her Thai passport. When checking in at the airline counter, my kids always present both passports and the airline staff enter both passports' numbers in their computer.

I used to have subscriptions to print versions of newspapers and magazines, but nowadays that same content is available on the internet much quicker and cheaper. Not only that, but the paper doesn't get soggy if the delivery man leaves it on top of the mailbox during the rainy season. I don't have access to a public or university library and I don't think major public figures would take my calls if I rang them up to do research. I guess I really don't have the resources, time, or connections to do primary research. I suppose I'll just have to rely on professional journalists to do that bit. I can sort out any bias on my own.

Credible fact-checked journalism is often behind a paywall. Conspiracy theory websites usually aren't.

She's no longer in Philadelphia. She's been towed to Alabama awaiting scuttling to make an artificial reef.

I think she'll be towed out a bit and scuttled to form a reef. There was an effort underway for decades to try to restore her, but not enough money was raised.

This assumes that relations between the US and the "host" country remain amicable. Governments change and the prisoners could become pawns for a newly hostile foreign government to exploit.

The Nazis weren't US citizens when they were deported. They had been de-naturalized. The problem, as we are seeing in real time, is that they would no longer be within US jurisdiction and they may become unable to return, even if new evidence arose that questions their conviction or were otherwise deserving of a new trial.
