  1. That's nice, but it is not a response to the facts provided. You describe Democrats as anti semitic and then ignore the gems of hate from the Republicans. And BTW, you are wrong about Trump doing "more for the jews" than any other President. That president would be James Madison, the US 4th President (1809-1817). He wrote the Federalist papers (with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay) which led to the adoption of the US Constitution. It is why he is called the “Father of the U.S. Constitution.” American Jews have benefited from the protections of the US constitution just as US Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Agnostics and others have. Jews in the USA have not received special rights or services compared to any other US citizen. It seems you are not used to being a "friend" of the jews since you are relying on an anti semitic claim that jews get special favours. 🤣
  2. How very wrong you are. Taylor Swift has been a popular star since 2006. Her popularity and influence has grown every year since then. 18 years as a superstar improving and expanding with each successive year. All done without financially harming anyone, declaring bankruptcy , or trash talking. One cannot be anti American and a Democrat at the same time, since the Democrat Party platform is pro USA. How convenient of you to worry about anti semitism. Some Democrats have non supportive views of Israel. Some representatives are nasty. No denying that. Unfortunately, the GOP is home to similar people. - Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) scheduled a fund-raiser with Nick Fuentes and declared his “love” for Gab, a media platform popular with white nationalists, neo-Nazis and antisemites, and for “the communities that use it.” - Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) aka Botox Man, invited Holocaust-denier Charles Johnson to be his guest at the State of the Union address. Gaetz appears frequently on “Infowars,” whose host, the infamous Alex Jones, has said, “It’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they are going to scare you, they’re going to hurt you.” - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) suggested that a deadly wildfire in California may have been caused by a laser from space controlled by wealthy Jewish bankers. She shared a video quoting a Holocaust denier’s claim that “Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation.” Greene attended the American First Political Action Conference in Orlando, organized by Fuentes, who questioned whether comparing Vladimir Putin to Hitler “was a bad thing.” She voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act because it “could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,” a Scriptural reading that was repudiated by the Catholic Church and most Protestant dominations decades ago. - Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), insisted in 2022 that a statement by Carl Palladino, a Republican candidate for Congress, that “Hitler is the kind of leader we need today. We need someone inspirational,” was taken out of context. Stefanik also declined to comment on Trump’s dinner with Fuentes and Ye. - Shortly after Ye tweeted “death con 3 on Jewish people,” Sen.-elect Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) tweeted “America needs a @kanyewest @KidRock tour.” Like the former president, who maintained he didn’t know anything about Nick Fuentes, and Charles Johnson. Schmitt pled ignorance about Ye’s “antisemitic comments.” - Kari Lake, who is running for the Senate from Arizona, once said meeting a Nazi sympathizer named Greyson Arnold was “a pleasure” and advised her followers to join her on Gab. - Trump has trafficked in antisemitic tropes. Dining with Kanye West at Maro Lago was inexcusable. Pot, kettle, black.
  3. Difficult to get to. In the event of a medical emergency, death is often the end result. Nice beach but very overcrowded and the longtail boats have polluted the bay. I walked inland towards the cave and there were piles of trash everywhere.
  4. Have any vocal supporters of this Bill actually read the Bill's wording? Do they acknowledge that the provisions of the Bill are addressed by existing laws? Do they acknowledge that the wording is poorly written and can harm victims, and may not even be allowed under the US Constitution? No one voting against the Bill was in favour of allowing convicted sex crime offenders to remain any longer than their prison sentence. What they were voting against is a poorly written piece of legislation that may backfire and be used to delay removal of undesirables and to be challenged in court for years.
  5. Who is they? Trump's supporters? The first one was a follower of the Trump cult, but became disenchanted. The second one was similar to the first. Know what they both have in common? They were not mentally stable, much like some of the most vociferous members of the Trump collective on this site. The man is 78 years old going on 79. His family has a history of dementia. He is overweight and does little exercise. Riding a golf cart is not exercise. Walking a golf course is. Trump has been under enormous emotional stress for the past 8 years. No matter what he says, the presidential races, the trials,the legal litigation, the financial problems all have taken a toll. He may just die in accordance with the predictions of the actuarial tables, which is in a few years. If I were him, I would just say screw it, and walk away and enjoy the little time I had left.
  6. Covid is an inflammatory disease. It's impact on anyone is determined in large part by their genetic structure and pre-existing health conditions. The evidence is showing that many patients had long term damage to their critical organs. Covid has not been with us for enough time to see its long term impact on the body. Like radiation, impact may take years to determine the outcome.
  7. The comments on this topic are certainly supporting the allegations of intentional lying from the Trump collective. Russian misinformation activities are exposed and credible evidence is provided. Patriotic Americans would be aghast and concerned to see the extent of Russian sabotage and infiltration, and the sad reality of American complicity in the sabotage. Instead, the Trump supporters come out, to swarm and to distract from the Russian sabotage. All sorts of unrelated references are made. Not one of the Trump supporters is upset or concerned by the Russian interference. This then gives rise to the sincere conclusion that these people are neither loyal Americans, nor, and most likely in some cases, American nationals. Instead they have put the political goals of Russia and Putin first and foremost.
  8. wow. As per the above article https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/russians-made-viral-video-falsely-accusing-harris-of-a-hit-and-run-microsoft/ar-AA1qMsM5 (The Hill) – Microsoft said Russians made a viral video falsely accusing Vice President Harris of a hit-and-run. Per a Tuesday report from the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC), Russians recently “produced and disseminated two inauthentic videos designed to discredit Harris and stoke controversy around her campaign.” One of the videos “used an on-screen actor to fabricate false claims that Harris paralyzed a girl in a 2011 hit-and-run accident,” according to the report. MTAC said in the report that the videos were from a “prolific Russian actor” named Storm-1516. Isn't time someone held the Russians and their enablers responsible?
  9. Your nonsensical statements might have sounded better when expressed in Russian. Retired lawyer Nice has his view and it does not mean that his position is accurate or supported in fact. -The pager devices were issued to Hezbollah members. Hezbollah is am armed entity pledged to the destruction of Israel and is at war with Israel. Hezbollah militants are not civilians. - Nice is well aware that civilian casualties are acceptable in a time of war. The death or injury of civilians during an operation against a legitimate military objective is permissible subject to the principles of proportionality and military necessity. There were almost no civilian casualties and the targeting of Hezbollah command and control structure is a legitimate target. - Nice is claiming civilian casualties in large numbers do not support the incident. Ok, but there are not large numbers of civilian casualties. There are 2 civilian casualties reported without any supporting evidence. The balance of injuries were sustained by Hezbollah male militants. - Nice goes off on a tangent referencing schools and hospitals being struck. Putting aside the fact that Hezbollah and Hamas use schools and hospitals for military intent, as control centers, barracks and munition dumps, that is not the case here. - He then goes off and claiming that Lebanon should pursue this by the ICC. Cute. He ignores the fact that Hezbollah is a state within a state and does not recognize the government of Lebanon's legitimacy and is of the view that Lebanon should be reunited with Syria. Hezbollah would have to agree to Lebanon's legitimacy and agree to follow Lebanese law and jurisdiction. - And his insincerity doesn't stop there. He ignores the fact that Hezbollah is the military force that is propping up the regime of Assad in Syria. Please consult with your Russian friends to rework your claim.
  10. It's a former nurse who worked in Saudi Arabia and it is thought by some that through the process of osmosis it absorbed an understanding of the arab mentality. With this new special power, a super matron of the male variety was created.
  11. The injuries were quite interesting. Intended to target the enemy operative, they minimized collateral damage with no fires or significant property damage. According to security sources and footage reviewed by Reuters, some of the detonations took place after the pagers rang, causing the fighter to put their hands on them or bring them up to their faces to check the screen. Reportedly, individuals have injuries to the face, hands (with missing fingers) and hip wounds. In one move, the command and control leadership of a designated international terrorist army and sanctioned group was incapacitated. With these people out of the mix, the ability to control troops in the field is reduced. I don't think Israel did this alone. Supplying pagers to Hezbollah from the EU would have been illegal. Hungary has been a strong ally of Israel for some time, along with Poland. It had to get a sign off or a nod from some important people in Hungary. The Hezbollah or Iranian official who made the deal to purchase the pagers is going to be questioned intensely, if not already executed. The countries which allowed the pagers to transit on their way to Lebanon or Iran would have had to be complicit and I would not be surprised If someone in the Sunni arab world gave a helping hand to get some Shiites. Now if only Israel could use such brilliance to free the few remaining hostages and to finish off the Hamas leadership, the war in Gaza could be brought to a close.
  12. Well, aren't you special. Scared of the "jew" are you? Just remember that California is the largest contributor to the US tax base and is a major driver of innovation in the world. Quite a difference from impoverished and backward states like MS and LA.
  13. Iran. Why was the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon outfitted with a Hezbollah issued communication device? So much for respecting the sovereignty of Lebanon. BTW, Hezbollah was a deciding factor in keeping Syria dictator Assad in power. I doubt the 500,000+ dead Syrians and 14 million refugees share your love for Hezbollah.
  14. Ask Trump why he refused to release them. It was President Biden who ensured that they were released. Documents under Section 5 of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 were required to be released within 25 years of October 26, 1992. Most of the documents were released on October 26, 2017. Trump set a new deadline of October 26, 2021, for the remaining documents to be released. On December 15, 2022, NARA released an additional 13,173 documents as ordered by President Biden. NARA had completed the review of the documents with 99% of all documents having been made public. The remaining 1% are still under review and are expected to be released shortly.
  15. Perhaps the AG could consider looking at Gov. Desantis? The Atlantic wrote about his "astonishing sweep of his (apparently legal) corruption" The Atlantic states that DeSantis has used his position to raise money and reap other perks while working to shield that behavior from public view. “I could sell golf for $50k this morning,” one DeSantis aide wrote to others in 2019, in an email obtained by The Washington Post" Once DeSantis took office, his aides made a list of 40 lobbyists with a goal of raising millions for the governor’s political-action committee and other funds. For the golf scheme, the idea was to get a lobbyist to shell out, using his client’s cash, to play a round with DeSantis and his wife, Casey. Under Florida law this is legal. DeSantis was aware of the plan and updated on its progress.
  16. The NRA may ask to participate to defend his right to carry arms, even though he is an alleged convicted felon. They often attach to court cases that involve challenging the right to carry firearms.
  17. How about pleasingly plump? Chubbily jolly?
  18. Oh yes, "the girl you brought to the US has got white women jealous as hell". Ok then, you keep on believing that. What university is she a graduate of and what is her profession? Architect, Scientist, Accountant....?
  19. Brings a new meaning to Russians going boom boom. 😁 Thankfully, these are weapons that will not be used to kill non combatants.
  20. What does your statement have to do with my comment? I don't know anything about this woman, nor do I care to. She's low class and not much different than a beer bar bimbo. I don't even find her attractive.
  21. Thank you. I have never visited Onlyfans before. I don't know why she calls herself Goddess Bella as she is not even remotely a goddess, nor the least bit attractive. Quite a difference between her cover photo at only fans and her face in the youtube video. No filters and cosmetics make for a washer woman's appearance.
  22. Wait. The eastern European woman is a woman who can surprise. Usually it occurs near menopause. Then its the big and plentiful aisle at the woman's retailer.
  23. What competition? The Thai women that take up with the people she calls losers are usually the dregs of society: Hardly competition to a western woman who has her self dignity and some life skills.
  24. You stated "It has cost a number of people their health and a great deal of money. It was far from a success.". The data and numbers do not support your claim. Your response has nothing to do with your statement. You are saying the Affordable Health care Act cost people their health. Ok. Who and how many people? Your say your premium is $1400. You must quite elderly and have a special history. I did a quick price check in one of the more expensive states of Massachusetts. A 45 year , depending on copay and deductible (ranging from $2500 to $0) will pay $340-$650 depending upon the deductibles and limits. I invite anyone interested to benchmark for themselves. https://www.healthcare.gov/see-plans/#/?year=2023 Yes, the ACA is a tremendous success. 40 million Americans now benefit from it. The ACA's major provisions came into force in 2014. By 2016, the uninsured share of the population had roughly halved. The law also enacted a host of delivery system reforms that have been proven to have kept healthcare costs from increasing more than the cost of living increases. Quality of healthcare for Americans has improved overall.
