Is This the Britain the D-Day Generation Fought to Save?
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I decided to go ahead and look this up and apparently, it's the work of a couple of economists who decided to do a little moonlighting as demographers. The immediate problem I say with their research, which I will link to below, is that it assumes a constant and high rate of fertility. https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/PRR-12-2018-0034/full/pdf?title=when-will-european-muslim-population-be-majority-and-in-which-country But in fact, the fertility rate of Muslim women in Europe is declining. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2011/01/27/future-of-the-global-muslim-population-regional-europe/ -

I see you're still allergic to evidence. -

When someone writes something like "it is predicted" rather than "X predicts" we can be quite sure that the source of such a prediction is a dubious one. Predictions just don't arise out of thin air. Someone makes them. In this case, please share with us the source of this prediction and link to back that up. Of course, predictions made that far into the future should not be taken seriously. -
This kind of comment demonstrates the kind of audience that Bannon was looking to incite with his comment. The subpoena to Bannon wasn't issued by Nancy Pelosi but rather by the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol. But Bannon was clearly counting on the Pavlovian value of blaming Pelosi to incite right wingers.

No. Your opinion is not as valid as mine or any anybody whose opinion reflects the understanding that elevated levels of greenhouse gasses are responsible for rapid climate change including global warming. And foolish comments like mitigating anthropogenic climate change somehow depends on Elon musk is further proof of your lack of knowledge. Even if mitigation and reversal of anthropogenic climate change and global warming were somehow dependent on EV's, Tesla is rapidly losing ground to other manufacturers. And I noticed that after you claimed that there was no proof that sea levels were rising, and proof was provided re satellite measurements, you kept quiet.

Someone recently remarked words to the effect that , a person who doesn't understand the meaning of a disclosure form has no business interpreting the Constitution of the United States.

The Surge of Islamist Violence: Why the West Remains Silent
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Did anybody bother to add up the numbers here. These murders span a period of 9 years and in countries whose populations totaled up exceeds 500 million. I remember the dire prophecies about what would happen after Merkel let in 1 million refugees from the Mideast. Massive numbers of deaths were prophesized. Germany as a nation would fall apart. Etc... -
Trump found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records

No, it wasn't questionable except in the sense that you can ask questions about anything. Trump's election team hired two groups of forensic election specialists to see if they could find any significant voter fraud. They couldn't. -

Just a couple of empty insults from you. -

Because those ex-colonies and the UK parted on such good terms? And the very fact that those colonies were mostly far from the UK geographically and economically underdeveloped, meant that they wouldn't have been all that useful as trading partners. -
I can show you plenty of polling evidence that a majority or Republicans believe that the 2020 election was stolen. Please share with me some polls that show anything close to a majority of Democrats believe that the 2016 election was stolen. It's also an incontrovertible fact that almost 3/4 of House Republicans voted against certifying the 2020 elections.

I don't think you understand that an impeachment trial belongs to the House. If a President is impeached than the Senate holds a trial. And Comer and company didn't have compelling evidence to get enough Republicans to vote for impeachment. And no, the purpose of an impeachment investigation is to find if there's enough evidence to indict the President on the grounds of having "committed high crimes and misdemeanors". It's not about the conduct of a President's family members. Or do you believe that the President's son or brother are also impeachable? As for the Hur report: "Hur defended his investigation as independent and thorough, saying that while his team found some evidence Biden willfully retained classified information, other evidence favored Biden’s view that he never meant to keep such information, and taken together, it likely didn’t meet the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt prosecutors would have needed to show at trial. “I understood that my explanation about this case had to include rigorous, detailed and thorough analysis,” Hur said. “In other words, I needed to show my work.”" https://www.wsj.com/politics/inside-bidens-special-counsel-interview-riffs-jokes-and-the-occasional-flub-99fc04d0

Virtually all Democrats (93%) say Biden won the election fairly, a view shared by 58% of independents. Just 21% of Republicans believe Biden won his election fair and square, while 68% say he won "due to voter fraud." That's very similar to Monmouth's findings in the weeks after the 2020 election, when 18% of Republicans, 67% of independents and 95% of Democrats said Biden's election victory was fair. https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/almost-third-americans-still-believe-2020-election-result-was-fraudule-rcna90145
