I used your own data to show that your claim is unsupported. There is no evidence of any significant presidential election voter fraud. There are some isolated cases that have had no impact on election outcome. Now that you cannot provide any evidence to support your claim of voting irregularities, your fall back excuse is that it is difficult to to "verify". Foreign nations with a poor history of fair elections like Iran, China and Russia promote conspiracy claims of election fraud and wrongdoing. This is intended to sabotage the USA , sow discord and to buttress their claims of integrity when their fixed election results are questioned. The management and conduct of elections is a state right and activity. You are now deflecting by bringing up the SAVE Act, which was a duplication of existing legislation and that added expense and bureaucracy to voter registration. There are almost no documented instances of foreign voter misconduct in US presidential elections. Surely with all the questionable people in Republican controlled states, the eagle eyed defenders of the electoral system would have caught someone by now? The management of elections is a state responsibility. Attempting to impose a federal law on the states to direct their management of a state designated right would raise the issue of whether or not it was even allowed by the US constitution. Considering the Trump camp argument that state rights must be respected, this Bill should not have been championed.

Thank you for your inquiry. There have been surveys such as this from the PEW Research Org. that you can look up. Unfortunately the most recent data released last month did not include Belgium, perhaps because it is not a particularly important or influential nation when it comes to international affairs.. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/07/02/confidence-in-zelenskyy-and-support-for-ukraine/ The decline in support was documented earlier this year https://www.brusselstimes.com/925956/two-years-into-the-war-belgian-support-for-ukrainian-aid-wavers and broadened to include allegations of support for Russia from two Belgian political parties; the NVA party and the PVDA party. The allegations follow on from the study released last March by The European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS) an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, based in Brussels, for research on and analysis of challenges posed by increasing political populism which documented The impact of the Russia–Ukraine War on ties between the Vlaams Belang in Belgium and the Putin regime. You may find the term capitulation too strong. Perhaps it is. However, I find the word most appropriate for the Belgian state and its history since its conduct in WWII and then in colonial Africa. The evil it did in the Congo in 1960 following what is described as its "capitulation" combined with its legacy in Rwanda and Burundi serve as an indication of what Belgium is capable of doing when public opinion shifts.

Because FOX has a bias in favour of Trump. You do mean Fox don't you? Are you aware that Fox is an entertainment company and includes; FOX News Media a 24-hour news service FOX Business Network a financial news channel, covering Main Street and Wall Street. FOX Sports an industry leader in live events, FOX Entertainment FOX Television owns and operates 29 full power broadcast television stations in the U.S. Tubi - Digital entertainment Credible - a tool to compare personalized loan offers from lenders OutKick a multimedia platform for of sports news, sports culture and pop culture. Blockchain Creative Labs a Web3 media company That is not occurred and not what the judge stated. Trump's legal team did not submit "evidence". Evidence of the kind you intimate is not presented at this type of hearing. The court decision was sound and based upon New York law. US District Judge Cecilia Altonaga, noted that the definition of rape differences between the specific New York law definition of rape and the common definition of rape, were different enough to let the case move forward. The judge noted that “New York has opted to separate out a crime of rape. Stephanopoulos’s statements dealt not with the public’s usage of that term, but the jury’s consideration of it during a formal legal proceeding, and “whether or not it is substantially true to say a jury (or juries) found (Trump) liable for rape by a jury despite the jury’s verdict expressly finding he was not liable for rape.” Judge Altonga is also quoted as stating “Judge Kaplan was reviewing a jury’s damages award. His analysis necessarily focused on what Carroll had and had not proved at trial, as well as the harm Carroll experienced from (Trump’s) abuse. There was no discussion of how to accurately report on the jury’s findings.” The judge made clear in her ruling that she was NOT deciding on the merits of Trump’s claim that he was defamed by ABC News, and wasn’t trying to suggest that he’ll win the case.

Your arguments are similar to those used to prevent afro americans from voting. Perhaps some people did sign up for voting, what you do not state is whether or not any of them were deemed eligible to vote and whether or not that they actually voted. Based upon state filings, the answer is Zero. In respect to the Heritage Foundation data, it presents ALL election incidents in its numbers. This includes county and state elections. Almost everyone of the cases relates to local elections and not presidential elections. Here is a typical example; Sherrye Jackson, of Tompkinsville, KY was charged by the state with one felony count of engaging in organized crime and one felony count of first degree perjury after her participation in a conspiracy by the Jackson family to bribe voters or obtain blank ballots from registered voters to help elect James "Darrell" Jackson, a Monroe County Constable, to the position of Monroe County Jailor, during the 2022 Republican primary election. The fraud was uncovered after a tip was submitted to the Attorney General's Election Fraud Hotline. Jackson, who had prior felony convictions on her record, pleaded guilty to her felony charges and entered a pretrial diversion program for 5 years. A common problem is the registration of convicted felons. Many people are unaware that as a felon they do not have the right to vote although some states have reinstated the right to some felons (e.g. Florida). The takeaway is that there is NO evidence of electoral fraud in the 2020 or 2024 presidential election process.

I believe your conclusion is incorrect. The EU will not agree to the use of nuclear weapons unless its own security is at risk. Nor will western nations with nuclear weapon capability put their own nation at risk of nuclear war to retaliate on behalf of Ukraine. The populations of Germany, USA, UK and France would rise up in violent protest if their countries did this. Some EU countries like Belgium, are ready to capitulate to Russian demands now.

Thank you for taking the time to offer an explanation. Technically then, he is not the father. He was just a caregiver who acted as a father figure for 1 year. Admirable and all that, but in the absence of an adoption he is not the father, nor should he be called a father.

I genuinely do not understand. How is he the father? Terry, met Kanjana Milkewicz's mother, Supaporn, now 73 years old Supaporn was pregnant by another American soldier who refused to acknowledge the child. Terry, took care of Supaporn during her pregnancy and continued to support her and Kanjana until she was one year old. Terry then returned to his home country, and Kanjana and her mother lost contact with him. Now 48 years later he shows up. Reads to me like Mr. Milkewicz is the father not Terry.

You make a lot of unfounded childish claims in your statement. Ok, so Trump is filing a defamation claim against ABC. Trump also brought 62 legal cases alleging election fraud and every single case at trial was either summarily dismissed for lack of evidence or lost on fact. Trump alleges that Stephanopoulos and the ABC network defamed him when Stephanopoulos said during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace that a New York jury found Trump had “raped” Jean Carroll, a writer whose own cases against Trump resulted in Trump being found liable for sexual abuse. Stephanopoulos was relying on the court transcript from another Trump case where Trump had tried to countersue Jean Carroll, and the judge had ruled against Trump. The presiding judge stated that Jean Carroll's statement of claim that Trump had raped her was “substantially true,” and agreed that Trump had raped her in the broader sense of that word, as people generally understand the term. The technicality was that the actual act did not fit the narrow definition of rape as set out in New York law. There is no evidence of bias at ABC in this matter, as you claim. George Stephanopoulos would not have been involved in any "debate" and the moderators would have not been able to impose any personal bias as the format would follow the first debate. Trump wants to move the proceedings to Fox because they will have an audience that will be allowed to bray and shout. Fox would screen the audience and if it is like previous Fox events, the audience would not be neutral. The reality is that Trump wants his supporters present. He needs them to provide cover for his unfounded claims and allegations. Harris won't play that game. Harris is Vice President of the USA. Trump is a convicted felon and a serial bankrupt. To claim that Trump would elevate her is nonsensical and delusional.

They also make up what you call the left.

No, it is not alright for Russia to target Zelenskyy. I believe that western intelligence and security forces have intervened multiple times to warn and to protect Zelenskyy in the past, so the western actions are not unusual. The western position is common sense because as I wrote, the Russians would retaliate with a barrage so intense that nothing would be left of Ukraine. Ukrainians might dream of a western reprisal but Western nations would not go to war with Russia over it because the Ukraine is not worth the risk and the cost at this time. The Ukrainians should be grateful for the massive injections of aid to date and not push their luck. The aid has been based upon the preservation of Ukraine's sovereignty and more importantly the defense of Europe, not an attack on Russia itself. As the USA has not denied the report, I believe it has some substance. There is nothing to be gained for either the USA or Russia from the report, save for the fact that it presents the USA as a responsible nation that will do the right thing and to see the big picture.

If accurate, then the USA helped avoid the absolute destruction of Ukraine and a spiral in the war. Had there been an attack on Russia and Putin injured or killed, Russia would have retaliated with overwhelming force, even including tactical nuclear weapons. There would have been a missile barrage that turned much of the nation to dust and debris. The USA has helped protect the interests of the western world and saved the Ukrainian nation.

He is neither left wing, nor a socialist. His political views reflect those of a rural farm upbringing with a strong dose of christianity where people rely on their neighbors for support and help each other. Do not confuse social responsibility with urban leftism. Most of rural mid west USA and Canada farm folk share similar conservative socially responsible views that cannot be labeled by outsiders. People like him tend to have a good moral compass, although annoying at times with their devotion to doing the right thing. As a 24 year army national guard NCO he is better qualified than most to understand the basic issues of the US military as it relates to recruitment, training and support. It is very unlikely that he is not a loyal and patriotic American. He did restore social cohesion in the state and has kept the economy stable. Whether or not Vance is smarter, is irrelevant. Walz was smart enough to avoid insulting people by calling them cat ladies. He is a typical humble and decent Minnesotan who shouldn't embarrass Harris. I don't think he was a good choice, but then as trump says, most American voters don't pay attention to the VP choice anyway. I hope Trump is right in that regard.

Harris picked a man who will stay in the background and not challenge her if she is president. We are looking at a repeat of the Carter presidency.

Are the rioters really politically motivated or are they just typical UK criminals taking advantage of an opportunity to run wild? Reading the description of multiple accused, they share the common characteristic of being serial losers with criminal records for violence, theft, drunk and disorderly and a long list of petty crimes.

The push/shove did not injure the victim. It was the fall that occurred after the push/shove. A case can be made that the intent was not to directly harm and that the resulting injury was unintentional. Should the victim die, it might qualify as "manslaughter" or "negligent homicide". The key issue though is why there had to be a shoving incident in the first place. A trained security guard avoids confrontation and violence and defuses or calms an incident. Shoving/pushing an old man in the absence of a direct physical confrontation is unnecessary violence. The operators of the bars on this soi already have a negative reputation for the conduct of their affairs and the source of the money. This incident does not help. The incident furthers the impression of corruption in Pattaya. unfortunately, like all other similar events, it will be forgotten and glossed over by next week.

No. No one denies it either. Taxpayers and people in general including legitimate immigrants are fed up with the bogus refugees and economic migrants gaming the humanitarian aid system. What differentiates these people and the mob is that they express their positions through rational and responsible ways, legally and without looting, arson and violent assaults. Unfortunately, what we are seeing here is an organized disinformation campaign by domestic political groups and foreign agents with an agenda. Neither cares about constructive change. Rather, they wish there to be social tension and violence in the streets. It is to the benefit of some foreign nations to have the social fabric ripped asunder. A lack of social cohesion furthers their diabolical objectives. The recent rioting and looting had little to do with an autistic UK adolescent attacking and murdering, because such horrific crimes literally occur on a daily basis. Rather, it was an opportune time for the criminal element to come out and vandalize and loot and have a fun time, just as they do at sport events and some public social events. I expect that it will be easy to identify many of the violent mob from CCTV images because they will have existing criminal records. There is a wise adage that holds that history repeats itself if we forget the past. In the 1930's and 1940's the Nazis had a campaign of disinformation and rumor mongering intended to disrupt the UK. They were aided and abetted by local fifth columnists who shared their evil positions and who wanted to sabotage Great Britain. In the 1950's the Russian's started their organized campaign to spread false information in the UK, reaching its zenith in the 1970's with its dominating influence over some unions and student groups. Today, the Russian influence is more nuanced and strategic, easily manipulating the gullible and exploiting underlying fears. They stoke a distrust of institutions and undermine the pillars of UK society, seeking to foment civil unrest. The overwhelming evidence of Russian disinformation is out there, with the most recent example the dismantling by Dutch, Canadian and American intelligence services of a sophisticated Russian scheme. The recent events are a mirror of a strategy that was shut down elsewhere. https://www.ic3.gov/Media/News/2024/240709.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Your claim of spotty record perhaps reflects the fact that some of what you believe to be true has been exposed as unsubstantiated or fabricated. It is difficult to admit to being conned and manipulated. That is why so many people continue to be conned by ponzi schemes and boiler room shills.

You stated that the UK had "no cultural or historical links with Ukraine" and I showed that it did. And your response is to write that I have manufactured a reason. Great Britain is not prolonging the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war would end tomorrow if Russia agreed to suspend hostilities and withdrew from parts of Ukraine it illegally occupies. Russia attacked Ukraine. Why are you bringing up India? It has no relevance.The border dispute is contained and does not involve China denying India's right to exist. India has neither requested nor expected weapons from the UK. More importantly, India has a longstanding policy of refusing foreign aid, including disaster relief. Nor does India have a need for weapons from the UK. China has not engaged in the mass murder and torture of Indian nationals. Both India and China are treating their dispute as a local border issue and have reduced tensions on their own without need of foreign involvement. Your position is patronizing to Indians and indicates a smug colonial attitude. It is condescending that you raise the issue of Hong Kong. Worse, it is an arrogant colonialist position. The UK had a legal obligation to vacate Hong Kong once its lease expired. The UK had neither the legal, nor the moral standing to do anything other than vacate Hong Kong at the end of the lease, to do anything else would have meant that the UK was squatting and illegally occupying land that was not theirs. The UK went above and beyond its moral obligations when it offered various protections and rights to Hong Kong residents. No other nation has ever agreed to protect 5 million + asians with the generous laws and financial support that the UK provided. You have not provided a compelling case and instead have thrown out weak excuses for the Russian expansionist policy. Why not just be honest and state that you support Putin and the Russian hatred of Ukraine, are ok with the mass murders and torture of Ukraine non combatants and excuse the Russian sponsored shooting down of the Malaysian passenger airliner with its 173 victims.

Real war? Seriously? It is a real war now as hundreds of IDF personnel have been KIA, and an estimated 20,000 Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other faction fighters have died. Hamas continues to fire its rockets from the Gaza "humanitarian zone", and the IDF continues to return suppressing fire. The destruction is widespread. If that isn't a real war, then what is?

There is no evidence to support your claim. NONE. Successive independent reviewes showed that 8 of the 9 guilty organizers was British Pakistani and the other Afghani. Please substantiate your claim.

As you do not understand, it is best that you first educate yourself on the incident. Alberta is a province, not a state. Mr. Robinson did not lie on his visa application and was in the country legally. Mr. Robinson was arrested at the request of the Canada Border Services Agency on the basis that there was a discrepancy between his declared criminal record and the information provided on his travel authorization application to enter Canada. The discrepancy was in fact an "after the fact" subjective reading of the declaration. Mr. Robinson's criminal record had already been reviewed prior to his arrival which is how he had received the travel authorization in the first place. He attended a review and was immediately cleared and allowed to continue on his speaking tour. It is believed that the detention was politically motivated by the federal Liberal government. The political motivation opinion is supported because the CBSA had not acted in this manner previously, and the review found that the declaration had been truthful and the authorization appropriately issued.

The initial riots were the result of disinformation; Multiple social media postings described the assailant as an asylum seeker, or a recently arrived refugee in Britain by crossing the English Channel illegally on a raft, or as a dangerous man on a terror watch list. The accused is a person born in Cardiff, Wales, from a reportedly law abiding, low profile family. The accused is legally a minor and is described as autistic. The end result of a mob gathering to protest "illegals" is an example of an organized disinformation campaign, that has achieved a desired result of upending social cohesion and inciting violence. Ask yourself who benefits from the UK be subject to disorder. Many of the people participating in the protests do not care about the issue of immigration or the social implications. They were there for the havoc and looting. The people who really care about the issue did not engage in violence or vandalism. This is no different than what happens at other riots and "protests" when there is property destruction and vandalism. Violent participants should therefore be treated as the criminals that they are. Vandals and looters are not patriots. Yes, many of those people engaged in unlawful activities. Their wrongful acts do not excuse the current unlawful acts of the Southport related hooligans. These events occurred in the UK. Making reference to "Kamala" and "lefties" is nonsensical. Kamala Harris had no involvement with any protests in the UK. Your claim of MSM clowns is unsupported by fact. Please provide an event that supports your statement. What happened in the USA in respect to local US events has not relationship to the events in the UK. Perhaps that is due to your own biased perception and the refusal of media in the UK to identify implicated parties. For example the recent incident involving BBC newsreader Huw Edwards was kept quiet, until his guilty plea. The Rochdale sex crimes Pakistani involvement was kept quiet for years as there was a fear of offending the SE Asian community. In Thailand, it is a national sport to identify bad farangs when it suits local needs.

The foreign language facilitators are there for business reasons, not for patient best interests. If the hospitals wish to sell its services to foreigners, they need to be able to service the clientele. The facilitator can explain services offered and tests recommended. A patient is more likely to agree to a test or a procedure if the patient understands the need for it. The more services and tests purchased, the greater the hospital profit.

As mentioned above, Accent and dialect are decisive. When english language speakers go to parts of the USA, they have a problem understanding many of the locals or some parts of the UK, Scotland and Ireland. Some of these people are unintelligible to people outside the region. French speakers have a hard time understanding the local accents of Acadiens and rural Quebecers. Italian speakers from Canada and the USA often speak in a language that was spoken by their relatives who left Italy 100+ years ago

There is overwhelming evidence of organized disinformation campaigns managed by Russia and Iran. China has a lesser involvement. It therefore follows that this forum will have members who are aligned with the disinformation campaigns. The most likely to be involved will be those who are already predisposed to supporting the policies of these countries. The messaging the countries provide is compatible with the pre-existing bias of these people and so they are most likely to promote and support the Russian/Iranian/Chinese disinformation. Examples of this are the defenders of the invasion of Ukraine and the "excusers" of the shooting down of the Malaysian passenger aircraft over Ukraine. The US cyber intelligence agencies have documented how Russia relies on 'unwitting Americans' to spread election disinformation. Russia also uses westerners who deliberately wish to spread false information, as well as commercial public relations firms in Russia to spread the disinformation. A cornerstone of the strategy relies on planting false information in social media which is then picked up by people who then repost the false information. Two Russian linked PR firms were identified in March: They created fake websites and social media profiles to spread Kremlin disinformation. The disinformation included false information on candidates, immigration, crime and the war in Gaza. Other examples are the conspiracy claims that came out after the Trump assassination attempt. There was a deluge of idiotic claims that it was a Ukraine or Biden campaign plot. When that did not stick, there were claims that Biden was incapacitated and that the deep state was at work to remove both Trump and Biden. Russian propaganda has been overtly pro Trump. In a joint operation, Dutch, Canadian and US intelligence organizations recently took down a very sophisticated Russian cyber unit. Full details available here https://www.ic3.gov/Media/News/2024/240709.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery It details the Russian operations and is a must read. China's activities are focused on its own immediate interests such as sabotaging western - Taiwan relations, or promoting stories on Covid that shifted attention away from China and its activities. It is not specifically active in US presidential politics although it has been linked to multiple stories related to the Gaza war. The Chinese strategy is to promote blame for the war on the west, and to circulate false claims of wrongdoing against the west. This is intended to cast China in the role of the neutral friend. The Iranian disinformation campaign has been bold and assertive. It has ranged from mass media posting of staged videos, to cyber attacks, to cyber hacking and to mass postings on social media of stories intended to stir up anger about the USA, France, Israel and the UK. Iran has gone one step further by directly supporting Gaza related protests as civil unrest in the west works to its advantage. The US intelligence service has documented the groups linked to Iran who have posed as online activists, encouraged protests and who have provided financial support to some protest groups. Nor can there be any denying that the Iranian disinformation has targeted Trump as he is seen as being hostile to Iran since he was against the lifting of nuclear related sanctions, authorized the elimination of a top Iranian Republican Guards general, and acted to contain Iranian military support of the Houthi in Yemen. Many of the negative stories about Trump based upon false information originate with Iranian agents.

I offer that Haniyeh was not a negotiator other than in description for propaganda purposes. Western media such as BBC have also called him a "moderate", despite his history of direct involvement in multiple violent and deadly actions. The reliance on biased information by the the western media is one of the distressing aspects of this conflict. It highlights the removal and destruction of independent news media and journalism.
