The Democrat members of the committee have a problem. Normally they'd give the person being interviewed a pass with easy questions, but in this case Hur didn't just give Biden an out from prosecution, but he also called Biden's mental fitness into question. It's going to be a very interesting session.

It's childlike to run around claiming that the world is warming without having a solution to it. What solution do 97% of scientists support to solve the problem? So far it's all Chicken Little, but no effective suggestions as how to stop the sky falling. I haven't read that any of them suggested the best way to make a difference which is less people on the planet.

IMO the biggest scam ever perpetrated on a gullible population is that we can actually modify climate change, but only if we make Elon Musk very rich and pay more taxes. Does anyone actually believe that windmills and electric cars will make ANY difference at all? Sod all else being done. No restrictions on the aviation or cruise liner industry, is there? No push to lower birth rates, no attempts to stop the destruction of rainforests worth the paper they are written on, no attempts to clean up ocean pollution that make a difference, no attempt to have climate conferences by VDO. All BS and hypocrisy IMO If humanity perishes it will be because government didn't do anything to actually make a difference, IMO.

UK tips into recession in huge blow to Rishi Sunak

Any interest rate above the less than 1% interest I got on my money would be a higher rate. I suppose I was lucky that they didn't make me pay to not give me much benefit at all. -

A smaller area with a large number of obnoxious farangs. Did you miss that the obnoxious farangs are the problem, not the distance from a city? -
As seen on Al Jazeera, massive demonstrations around the world in support of Palestine, including in Washington DC, and even a massive protest in Israel against Netanyahu. IMO israel has lost most international public support, and, like the international movement to end South African apartheid, protests are reaching a critical mass that the politicians that are currently supporting israel will be unable to ignore any longer. In particular Sunak should be worried about his survival, and Biden is surely unable to pretend all Americans support israeli actions in Gaza. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/13/march-on-washington-ceasefire-gaza Thousands march on Washington to demand ceasefire in Gaza This article is more than 1 month old Flyers indicate protesters came from as far as Florida, Minnesota, Texas and Wisconsin to protest war and US aid to Israel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUPkKMwY36I 6,694 views Feb 18, 2024 Hundreds of thousands of Pro-Palestine protesters marched in London, UK as part of a 'global day of action,' calling for an immediate halt to Israel's war on Gaza. Marches are expected in 100 cities across 45 countries to protest against the Rafah bombardment and to urge an immediate ceasefire.

Also preventing enough food and medicine to be sent into Gaza. -

All they have is IDF propaganda released information. IMO it's becoming clear the IDF leadership is not primarily concerned with rescuing hostages alive, but is using them as an excuse to attack hospitals, which I understand is a war crime. -
We certainly do.

Al Jazeera has just reported that Ukraine has given up Adviika to the Russians That "I told you so" moment is getting closer. If they gave up Adviika which they spent so many lives to protect, it indicates a far more fundamental problem for Zelinsky. Pity about all the lives lost and destruction on both sides, but IMO it never had to happen, and would not have happened if the US and Britain had kept their noses out of a problem which they didn't have to create. If, as seems likely, it ends in negotiations, it's going to end in a black eye for Biden and Sunak; Sunak because he's not doing well, and Biden as it's an election year. That was yesterday, but too soon to provide a link, which is now available, from an American source no less. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/world/europe/ukraine-avdiivka-withdraw-despair.html Avdiivka, Longtime Stronghold for Ukraine, Falls to Russians With Ukraine’s forces at risk of encirclement, the top military commander ordered a retreat. In startlingly candid accounts, soldiers described disarray and despair.

GOP delivers death blow to bipartisan border bill

IMO when it's Biden in contention anything legal is worth it if it leads to him being ousted in November. -
