  1. The major reasons Britons give for moving abroad have nothing to do with immigration. UK’s Potential Exodus: Over Half (52%) Of Brits Eye A Better Life Abroad Over half of Brits (52%) have considered leaving the UK for better working opportunities abroad, according to new research from Gen Z insights company Prograd. This sentiment was particularly strong for those working in healthcare (54%), educational professionals (52%), lawyers (69%) and financial services professionals (62%), many of which make up the UK’s key workers... When asked about what they think the biggest financial barrier for young people in the UK is, 83% said the cost of living, 64% said housing affordability, 58% said low salaries and 41% said high taxes. https://employernews.co.uk/news/uks-potential-exodus-over-half-54-of-brits-eye-a-better-life-abroad/
  2. If there's any derangement on evidence here, it's on the part of someone who makes such addled and unhinged diagnoses. It's also evidence that a person who makes such judgement lacks the necessary knowledge to offer reasoned arguments. Which is sad in a person who claims to be a U.S. citizen.
  3. It's a good thing that most of the people in the world live in Europe, and only a few in underpopulated areas like India, Indonesia, the countries of Southeast Asia, and most of Africa. Because if it was the case otherwise...
  4. Citing someone's nationality to question the validity of their posts, is the last refuge of an ignoramus.
  5. In other words, his life may depend on whether or not he can afford a security detail.
  6. Anther reflexive and empty comment. Whoever those lefties may have been, were any of them in a position of power to actually pull the Secret Service protection from Trump? You got any evidence that it was actually considered by people in authoritative position?
  7. The Inspector General of the Justice Dept conducted an extensive review of the Justice Dept. investigation of Donald Trump. He found no evidence of persecution. William Barr, the Attorney General and his special prosecutor, John Durham both publicly disagreed with that finding. John Durham conducted his own 4 year investigation to determine whether or not there had been such a persecution. He was considerably aided by William Barr who had weekly meetings with Durham. Not just that, Barr even accompanied Durham to Europe to help him get information. Despite which, Durham came up with nothing. He developed evidence for 2 cases in which he accused not the FBI but certain parties of lying to the FBI. Both cases ended in acquittals. The only case he won was based on evidence developed by the Inspector General and that one ended in a misdemeanor conviction. Manafort, Stone, and Flynn were all convicted during the Trump administration.
  8. Keep on invoking the G word.
  9. I'm not sure I understand your point. Do you believe that Hamas and Hezbollah pose a genocidal threat to Israel via Iranian support?
  10. Genocidal? Maybe if they could, they would be. You seriously believe that Hamas poses a credible threat to the survival of the Jewish people of Israel? But thanks for providing more evidence in support of my point.
  11. As I recall, Israelis and others aren't the least bit reluctant to claim that Hamas poses a threat similar to the Holocaust. In fact, invoking the Holocaust has even been used by right wing Israelis against their own leaders.
  12. "The Israeli military raided the Jerusalem home of a Hamas member released as part of an exchange for Israelis being held hostage in Gaza, detaining one person and roughing up others on Saturday evening, including a New York Times reporter conducting interviews at the scene... A second Times reporter, Natan Odenheimer, then identified himself as a journalist, video recorded by The Times shows. The same soldier told Mr. Odenheimer that he didn’t care, using an expletive to underscore his point. The soldier then pointed his loaded rifle at Mr. Odenheimer again, the video shows." https://archive.ph/ct2RB I'm sure that soldier will be treated to the same harsh disciplinary action that typically follows such acts of brutality...just kidding

  13. So the point of your comment "Their God is money and power" was that the Chinese are no different from anybody else. That the vilification of their conduct as something distinct is baseless. So, in your own special way, what you really were offering was a plea for tolerance and understanding. You are an inspiration to us all. Hark! I hear a song in the distance. I believe it's Kumbaya.
  14. I've read that one of those leftist politicians had the benefit of several hundreds of millions of dollar expended on his behalf by the world's richest person.
  15. What makes you believe that most of the value is in China? Most of the value is in the intellectual property and the most valuable chips which are not manufactured in China.
