If it turns out to be a right wing agenda, will you acknowledge that? Historically, violent anti abortionists have not been "liberal", nor democrats.

That's what I would be focused on. Once salt water gets into the electronics and nooks and crannies, that's it.

It is possible that a great deal of the upper section is not heavy, and is instead covering for the missile silos and helicopter hangar.

So, no seatbelts or airbags?

One need not engage. Just ignore and carry on.

The USA long before Trump, during the Carter term supported human rights and was sympathetic to the ideals of the Iranian revolution. The USA did not take in the Shah and he died in exile in Egypt. The Iran hostage event occurred during President Carter's term. The Iranians had every opportunity to normalize relations with the USA since then but instead chose to be hostile. Blaming the USA is victim blaming.

I do not share the optimism of some people here. Iran has no hesitation in the use of mass suicide fighters. There are still tens of thousands of Hezbollah fighters willing to die, safe in Lebanon. It is 1500km from Iran to Israel via Iraq and Syria. Iran has almost 1 million people in its military and could easily deploy 500,000 through Iraq and Syria. It would be the worst kept secret, but the IDF could not stop that many people. Iran has hundreds more missiles hidden away and some of them are getting through. All it takes is a few of them carrying radioactive materials, or even a prototype warhead obtained via North Korea or Russia to cause serious damage to Israel. If Iran's oil and gas sector is neutralized, its financial support evaporates. Before that happens, it is possible that Iran takes out the UAE and maybe the KSA oil facilities.

Iran attempted to kill President Trump multiple times. Iran has sponsored international terrorism and global cyber attacks. Iran has been intimidating and harassing Iranian dissidents around the world including attempted assassinations. Iran regularly threatens to destroy the USA. A friday prayer in Iran typically ends with chants of death to America. In what civilized nation does the parliament arise in unison to chant death to America? 10 years ago, Iran was in nuclear talks too, negotiating in bad faith. And what did the Ayotollah say? Death to America

It is up to the Iranian dissident community to do that. If Israel can manage to degrade Iran's military capability, there may indeed be a new revolution. I see the social media posts of death to khomeini chants coming from some neighborhoods. It is sort of a coincidence when the attacks started on the day, the regime has cracked down on dog ownership threatening to take away vehicle licenses if dogs are found in automobiles, and to otherwise punish people for walking a dog. The regime is not universally popular. You are obviously unaware or refusing to accept the corroborated reports that Iran had attempted to conceal its additional nuclear production and stockpile of radioactive products. You are also ignoring the fact that Trump warrned Iran that it had a peaceful way out. There was a 60 day window and the iranians were acting in bad faith, refusing to consider proposals given to them. Iran is throwing everything it has at Israel including its ballistic and cruise missiles. Every time Iran launches a missile, the Israeli satellites capture the launch points. They are then targeted the next time the IDF visits. The last fight with Israel saw the loss of Iran's air major defense capabilities. Israel is probably waiting to target Iran as it sets up for its next launch. The Iranian leadership is cowering in its fortified bunkers now.

The Libyans don't want them either. The resistance is not because the Arabs do not sympathize with the Gazans plight.It's just that they do not want to be used by political groups who have a tacit support of the extremist groups who have caused problems in their own countries previously. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which plunged Egypt into chaos for years.

Does the health ministry report on the numbers actually killed by Hamas and others because they are trying to sabotage the distribution of aid? Why are the Gazan numbers accepted as is?

The masked agents are specific to certain surveillance operations. Most stops are by unmasked agents. Those who are masked do so because of the need for personal safety. The courts allow for it. If some people were not so intent on targeting LEO for retaliation, there would be no need.

Not particularly credible. The USA would share the identity of EU nationals with the EU origin nation. It would have to do so, if they want to do a background check. If the EU nationals are sent to Gitmo, it will be because a commercial airliner will not accept them for a removal flight or there is a terrorism issue. There is no need for the USA to go to the expense of detaining unauthorized European migrants. They get put on the next available flight out of the USA. The procedure is not that much different than the Canadians who are denied entry or removed. Next available deportation opportunity. It costs money to transport and to guard unauthorized people. What is the point of the faux outrage anyway? If the European is in the USA and should not be there, then they should accept the consequences. They are most likely in the USA for personal gain and not because they are fleeing oppression. The pickpocket gangs will just have to make do in Canada or western Europe and the UK.

The Indian males and others engage in the practice because not enough people tell them no or to stop it. If not one stops an anti social act it becomes part of the culture.

Yes, The full US Secret Service profile is an inventory of mental illness. It left out a few things. His agitated state when he called his US representative's office (who incidentally was a republican), his anger at the Democrats when Bernie Sanders was not nominated. There is a mention of wanting Sanders to run as a Green, but other people say he was rather "forceful" in his views. Definitely, a really disturbed man. Representative Scalise wasn't the only victim. As Sen. Rand Paul stated, had the Capital police not been present as part of Scalise's protection, it would have been a mass murder event, with spectators killed in the melee. https://www.secretservice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2020-06/Hodgkinson.pdf

Putting aside the optics, it is an intelligent response to a valid concern. The resources will be focused on other targets. There are so many unauthorized migrants that the change in focus will not change things. The initial strategy was targeting the low hanging fruit, the easy targets, Now ICE will have to work harder and go after the actual gang members and criminals. In the interim, I expect that a strategy will be implemented that facilitates the granting of work visas to the impacted sectors. Many of the unauthorized workers, didn't apply for visas, over stayed, did not bother to renew, or violated their visas by offences such as domestic battery or DUI. It is up to the Republicans to put on their big boy pants and to tell the nation, we need to refine the visa process and offer the essential workers a work visa, whether it is 1 or 3 million or more of them. The current pause is not going to help anyone in the long term. The Democrats are going to have to agree.

I get your point, but the used cars give a false sense of security. Aside from the mechanical concerns, the construction quality is flimsy and it's like stepping on a soda can when they are hit. Some drivers are still going to speed and do stupid things, whether it is a car or scooter. A bad scooter driver is going to be a bad automobile driver. Millions of Thais have survived while driving their scooters. Sometimes it is luck, other times, it is actually decent driving skills and situational awareness.

It is not possible to determine if he checked his mirror. The fact is that when the turn was being made, the motorbike was in the blind spot.

The motorbike was in his blind spot. One of the important rules of cycling and motorbike riding is to beware of driver blind spots. Never ever get close to a big rig.

One should be careful with such comparisons. India has 1.4+ billion people. Because of its sheer size, it has a population of wealthy and financially well off people that is far larger than the total population of Thailand. It has approx. 165 billionaires (USD) and tens of millions of people with more money than brains. Much of the Indian population may still be living in poverty worse than that of Thailand's, but they are not the people who visit Thailand. It is the nouveau riche aggressive and rude Indians who visit. Thailand is relatively inexpensive, and has a culture that is less difficult than western cultures. The high end Indians who studied in the west, and worked in the west typically have more refined preferences than visiting Pattaya.

Grow up should apply to the people who use over the top rhetoric to describe people with different political positions. Name calling and belittling is part of the dehumanization process. Constantly labeling opponents of Republican policies as leftist radicals, or anti american or traitor is not right. Nor is calling Republicans who want responsible fiscal policies , nazis acceptable. The man had a history of weird behavior. He attacked the bipartisan charity fundraiser baseball game because he was anti-social and while at first described as possibly angry with Republicans, was later found to be upset with Democrats too. The takeaway is that he was one of too many US nationals who believed that their problems will be solved through a mass shooting murder event. And like most of the USA's mass murderers, he was a white male, and of lower socio economic status.

Yes, I did study history in school. What does Gibraltar belongs economically to Spain mean? You do know that Gibraltar has a strong position as a marine bunkering port? Gibraltar based Peninsula is ranked as the 6th largest bunker entity in the world. Its marine service capabilities are well reputed. Gibraltar makes most of its income from financial services. It is also home to multiple online casinos. Gibraltar's GDP per capita is approx 3X that of Spain., which indicates that Gibraltar is financially better off. Your reference to losing an island in the North Sea makes no sense and is gibberish. In respect to Northern Ireland, you obviously do not know the history. There is not much one can do to change the colonization by the Normans that started in 1169.The Normans also conquered the English. Your quarrel is with the French. The presence of the "English"in Ireland got handed off for a few centuries until the Tudors integrated Ireland in the 1600's. Ireland only came into existence as a stand alone nation in 1921 and it did not include the northern territory. Besides, the future of Northern Ireland is really not for the UK to decide. It is a local driven issue, and a majority of residents do not wish to join with Ireland. I expect that one day they will want to do so . Until then, their wishes must be respected.

Careful.Multiple US airports have police with long guns, usually AR 15 type. Houston, Los Angeles, Boston Houston HOU
