Egypt and Jordan want no part of Hamas. Bahrain, UAE, Morocco and Sudan have officially recognized Israel. The Saudi were ready to do so up until October 7, although it might happen after things cool off. My point is, most Arab countries are tired of all the conflict going on involving Israel. Iran is the problem. They want to be the supreme ruler of the Middle East. They think destabilizing their smaller and weaker neighbors will help them get there. This is one reason they are supporting Hezbollah and Hamas and other terrorist groups. This is also why they want to become a nuclear power. Because Israel possess nuclear weapons, having the Israelis on their side would help counter Iran's attempt at dominance.

Wow, perhaps you are not aware that members of Congress are elected and not appointed. It seems you are stuck on the word "discrimination."

One problem Trump attempted to address is border security. Biden immediately reversed Trump's immigration policies and look at where we are today. Sanctuary cities, like New York are being overrun by illegal immigrants leading to a fiscal crisis. Blacks are demonstrating in Chicago with complaints of reduced aid for minorities in order to pay for helping illegals that have flooded the city.

Even nuttier than Donald Trump.

Not everyone thinks Trump was a disaster.

I don't know of any municipal system that is not subsidized to some extent. Why does Bangkok think they can do it better?

Failing to plan is planning to fail. After a previous Lahaina wildfire in 2018, a report was compiled with recommendations to handle future fires. It was filed and never acted on. In fact, no one, including the media, was allowed to have a copy of the report. Politics at its worst.

I only repeated what I was told by my dental insurance carrier why my rates doubled. And I did not claim it was a scam. Dental "insurance" is a fringe benefit often given by employers and is usually not considered taxable income. Also I have never hesitated to get dental care because of cost. What some people may be unaware of is that poor dental health can lead to heart problems. Sepsis from a tooth infection can kill you.

When I asked my dental insurance provider why my rates are being doubled, the reply was, "Because of Obamacare." I asked my dentist if he would still keep me as a patient if I was self insured. He said "no problem" Glad I cancelled since I don't need the insurance company's okay for certain procedures. I get to decide.

That explains everything.

Ever heard of dementia?

That's one of the disadvantages of rote learning. Boring.

I think the advantages of meaningful learning outweigh those of rote learning. I guess it depends what you are trying to achieve.

Is this why there are so many atheists?

Who is God?

You're worse than a broken record. Repeat, repeat, repeat.......

It is much more than a grudge. It's about destroying an enemy that is hell bent on wiping you off the face of the earth.

I agree. Same issues rehashed over and over with a lot of petty bickering. BORING.

At one time CNN was a reliable, mostly unbiased news source. Not any more. In fact, I don't think there are any unbiased news outlets left in the U.S. They all lean either right or left. Even PBS broadcasts are slanted.

More like doing a balancing act on a tightrope.

The "big boys" with small minds are responding to your posts. I like what you wrote.

Hopefully, these evacuees will see this concession for what it is. Better than what Hamas has to offer by sheltering in place. It would probably he helpful to provide food and other assistance, if possible, to remind them that besides showing compassion continued support of Hamas is self defeating.

The cost of servicing our national debt is getting to the point of becoming unmanageable. And the U.S. isn't the only country with facing this problem. We are definitely in for some scary times.
