The first generation statins, such as lovastatin, came from red yeast rice. Fourth generation statins, such as rosuvastatin, are much better. High LDL has a large genetic component. Some people will never have high amounts of LDL no matter what, and some people will have high LDL even with proper diet and rigorous exercise. For them, statins or other meds are life-changers. There is no one-size-fits-all answer like those found in online forums. A cardiologist will work to find a proper solution for their individual patients. If you're in the US, find one who's board-certified. If your LDL is high the first step is to get it under control, often through medication, and then focus on diet and exercise. Also, the known best diet for long-term cardiovascular health is now well established. Thousands of papers have been published in the last 10 years. Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, fish and seafood. Limit saturated fats. If you regularly eat those, you can also enjoy (in moderation) whatever else you like to eat. Ignore the gym-bros who promote things like the carnivore diet. -

Robert Mueller Warns of Continued Russian Election Interference, US Remains Unprepared
Former special counsel Robert Mueller, who led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, has issued a stark warning: the United States is still not adequately prepared to combat Russian attacks on its democratic process. This caution comes in the preface to *Interference: The Inside Story of Trump, Russia, and the Mueller Investigation*, a new book by Aaron Zebley, James Quarles, and Andrew Goldstein, all of whom served as prosecutors under Mueller during his investigation from 2017 to 2019. “It is … evident that Americans have not learned the lessons of Russia’s attack on our democracy in 2016,” Mueller writes. He points out that the evidence was undeniable in his report, which detailed how the Russian government systematically targeted the U.S. electoral process to undermine democracy and boost one candidate over another. That candidate was Donald Trump, the Republican who won the presidency over Democrat Hillary Clinton. Despite efforts by various government officials, Mueller states that the country remains ill-prepared for future Russian interference, echoing a grave concern that “Russia attacked us before and will do so again.” Mueller’s warning underscores the importance of vigilance from all Americans, as well as the need for heightened governmental readiness. The book *Interference* explores the Mueller investigation in depth, from its origins following the firing of FBI Director James Comey to its eventual conclusion in March 2019. The investigation did not find conclusive evidence of collusion between Trump and Moscow, but it did lead to indictments against three Russian entities and 34 individuals. One of those convicted was Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who was jailed. Mueller also identified 10 potential instances of obstruction of justice by Trump, though he refrained from indicting the sitting president due to Justice Department guidelines. Mueller praises Zebley, Quarles, and Goldstein, writing that they “care deeply about the rule of law and know the importance of making decisions with integrity and humility.” He highlights the value of these principles, particularly when facing those who are unwilling to play by the rules. The book also reveals behind-the-scenes moments, including a meeting at the White House, where Mueller was considered for a return to his previous position as FBI director. According to the authors, Trump dominated the conversation, but Mueller declined the offer, despite Trump’s later claims to the contrary. In the lead-up to the 2016 election, an “October surprise” came in the form of WikiLeaks' release of hacked Democratic emails, attributed to Russian interference. This event coincided with the fallout from Trump’s infamous *Access Hollywood* tape, in which he boasted about sexual assault. The Mueller team’s investigation confirmed that Russia’s actions were aimed at tipping the scales in Trump’s favor. However, attempts to interview Trump himself were blocked by his attorneys, including Rudy Giuliani, who breached confidentiality agreements, leading Mueller to cut ties with him permanently. As the book examines the aftermath of the 2016 election, it also reflects on the broader legal challenges Trump faced during his presidency. Giuliani is now embroiled in criminal and civil proceedings linked to efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss, while Trump faces multiple charges himself, including 34 criminal counts related to hush-money payments before the 2016 election. The authors express concern over recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that could complicate future investigations into presidential misconduct. They highlight cases such as *Trump v. United States*, which grants a president "presumptive immunity" for official actions, thereby limiting the scope of potential prosecution for presidential abuses of power. Mueller’s investigation may not have resulted in Trump’s punishment, but it played a significant role in shaping public discourse on the integrity of American elections. As the nation heads toward another presidential race, the warnings from Mueller and his team resonate even more urgently. Their book arrives at a time when new reports suggest that Russian influence operations, this time targeting Vice President Kamala Harris, are already underway. Mueller’s warning is clear: while the U.S. may have learned from the past, it remains unprepared for the challenges of tomorrow. Credit: The Guardian 2024-09-19 -

Russian Disinformation Campaign Targets Kamala Harris with False Accusations
Russian propagandists have escalated their attacks on the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, spreading disinformation through viral social media videos, according to Microsoft researchers. One particularly damaging video featured an actor falsely accusing Harris of a hit-and-run that paralyzed a young girl. Although the incident never happened, the video spread widely on X (formerly Twitter), reaching as many as 7 million views and gaining further traction on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. The video originated from a newly created San Francisco-based news outlet, which quickly disappeared after the video gained popularity. Despite its short lifespan, the false narrative resonated with social media users, shared by accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers. Another fabricated video promoted the idea that Harris had commissioned vulgar billboards in New York advocating for children to change their gender. This video also gained substantial attention, amassing hundreds of thousands of views. Microsoft researchers identified three Russian government-backed groups as the source of these smear campaigns. The groups have a history of creating provocative, fake content designed to generate outrage and sway public opinion. One of the groups, Microsoft noted, is particularly adept at creating scandalous claims and videos that dominate headlines. Another is expected to ramp up its targeting of the Harris campaign as the election approaches. These findings were part of Microsoft’s regular report on foreign attempts to influence U.S. elections. The company has warned that Russia’s disinformation efforts have not diminished despite previous exposure and attempts to disrupt their operations. In fact, the Kremlin seems undeterred by international scrutiny, even as Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly claimed to support Harris. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, recently took action by banning pages affiliated with the Russian state-controlled media outlet RT (formerly Russia Today). The U.S. government has imposed sanctions on RT, accusing it of engaging in intelligence and propaganda activities. Two RT employees were indicted by the Department of Justice for laundering millions of dollars through shell companies to covertly run a media firm in Tennessee, which posted videos by conservative influencers in an effort to undermine support for Ukraine. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been vocal about the threat posed by Russian media outlets like RT, stating that they are no longer merely spreading propaganda but are actively involved in covert operations to influence elections. "They are engaged in covert influence activities aimed at undermining American elections and democracies, functioning like a de facto arm of Russia’s intelligence apparatus," Blinken said. In addition to disinformation campaigns, Microsoft’s report also detailed the activities of six Russian hacktivist groups believed to be working in collaboration with Russian intelligence agencies, such as the FSB and GRU. These groups, while claiming independence, seem to coordinate closely with the Russian government and offer a means of disseminating compromised information from hacking operations while maintaining plausible deniability. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI have also raised alarms, warning that foreign actors might attempt to falsely claim hacks of voter rolls or election-related materials to undermine public trust in the election process. Microsoft echoed this concern, urging caution in inflating the perceived threat posed by these groups, while also emphasizing the need for vigilance. In addition to Russian interference, the report highlighted the activities of a Chinese influence group. This group appears more focused on dividing Americans and creating confusion rather than backing a specific candidate. Microsoft pointed to a notable example following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. After the incident, Chinese-operated accounts began rapidly sharing content from right-wing influencers and commentators, pushing narratives that implicated Democrats in the attack. These revelations underscore the ongoing threat of foreign interference in U.S. elections, as Russia and other countries continue to exploit social media and other platforms to spread disinformation, inflame tensions, and erode trust in democratic institutions.

Trump: "President Biden was so nice." Civility During Flint Rally Amid Political Tensions
In a rare departure from his usual fiery rhetoric, Donald Trump appeared to embrace a more tempered tone during a rally in Flint, Michigan. With weeks left until the election, the likelihood of attacks ramping up remains, but for the moment, the former president seemed focused on lowering the political heat. "It’s a dangerous business being president," Trump remarked to loud applause inside the Dort Financial Center. The event marked Trump's first public appearance since his Florida golf course was the site of a dramatic security incident. Interviewed by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his former press secretary and now the governor of Arkansas, Trump recounted the tense moments when shots were fired between holes five and six at his course in West Palm Beach. "I have to say, Secret Service did a hell of a job," he said, explaining how one agent spotted the suspect with a rifle. Trump then lightened the atmosphere by quipping, "Women are smarter than men," in reference to a female witness who snapped photos of the fleeing suspect's vehicle. As Trump retold the story, Secret Service agents stood vigilant on either side of the stage, carefully scanning the crowd for any signs of danger. At one point, Trump eagerly asked the agent who identified the gunman to stand up and be recognized by the crowd but quickly decided against it. Despite initially blaming Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for fueling violent rhetoric—an accusation made without evidence—Trump refrained from such claims during this rally. Instead, he spoke almost warmly about recent conversations with both the president and vice president. "President Biden was so nice," Trump shared. "I do feel he’s so, so nice." Regarding Kamala Harris, Trump said, "I got a very nice call from Kamala. It was very nice." Though some in the crowd shouted, “She’s a liar,” Trump dismissed the comment with a shake of his head. Brian Menasco, a local from Columbiaville, believes Trump was making an effort to lower the political temperature. "I think so," Menasco said. "I've wanted him to do that since 2016. He's amazing but sometimes I think, 'why has he said that?'" Trump's decision to hold the rally in Flint was deliberate. He had planned to visit Michigan before the apparent assassination attempt and sees the state as critical to his path back to the White House. After winning Michigan in 2016 and losing it to Biden four years later, regaining support in key swing states like Michigan is essential for Trump’s campaign. Flint, about an hour from Detroit, is infamous for its water crisis, which began in 2014 when lead contaminated the city’s water supply, resulting in at least 12 deaths and leaving lasting scars on the community. Known as "Vehicle City" due to its history with the auto industry, Flint's economy has suffered as manufacturing jobs declined. The North Dort Highway is still lined with businesses tied to cars, including repair shops and scrap metal yards. Gary Grundy, an independent voter, was at Trevor’s Tires, loading tyres into his SUV when asked about Trump's rally. He believes both Republicans and Democrats share the responsibility for dialing down political rhetoric. "When I heard, I was like, that's two attempts on his life, that’s kind of crazy," he said. "But the talk on both sides needs to be dialed down. So the rhetoric on both sides needs to calm down, it's collective responsibility." Not all attendees shared this view. Kristin Martinez, a Trump supporter, argued that Democrats bear some responsibility for inciting violence against Trump. "I really do think that they are responsible for, you know, maybe not calling out somebody to do it, but, you know, their words triggered somebody." Despite Trump's gestures towards civility, with less than two months until the election and political tensions high, the threat of further violence remains palpable. Credit: Sky News 2024-09-19 -

Southern African Nations Turn to Elephant Culling Amid Drought to Feed Hungry Communities
In response to a crippling drought, Zimbabwe and Namibia have announced plans to slaughter hundreds of wild elephants and other animals to provide much-needed food for their struggling citizens. The devastating drought, worsened by the El Niño weather phenomenon, has left many communities in these southern African countries facing severe hunger. On Monday, Zimbabwe's government disclosed its decision to allow the culling of 200 elephants, with the meat being distributed to vulnerable communities. Similarly, Namibia has begun killing over 700 wild animals, including 83 elephants, as part of a strategy revealed three weeks ago to address the food crisis. Tinashe Farawo, spokesperson for the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, confirmed that permits would be issued to affected communities to hunt elephants. Additionally, the parks authority itself would conduct culling to meet the quota of 200 elephants. "We will start culling as soon as we have finished issuing out permits," Farawo stated. Farawo explained that the elephants will be taken from areas where their numbers have surpassed the capacity the environment can support. One such region is Hwange National Park in the arid western part of Zimbabwe, where humans and wildlife increasingly compete for scarce resources like food and water. The park currently hosts over 45,000 elephants but only has the capacity to sustain 15,000. Zimbabwe as a whole is home to roughly 100,000 elephants, double the population the country’s national parks can handle, according to park officials. In December, Zimbabwe's parks agency revealed that more than 100 elephants had already died due to the severe drought. Farawo warned that many more animals could perish from thirst and starvation as the country enters its hottest season. The drought situation, exacerbated by rising temperatures, has put immense pressure on wildlife and human populations alike. Zimbabwe's Environment Minister, Sithembiso Nyoni, voiced her support for the culling program during a Parliamentary session last week. “Indeed, Zimbabwe has more elephants than we need, more elephants than our forestry can accommodate,” Nyoni said. She added that the government was preparing to implement the culling and involve women in the process of drying and packaging the meat to ensure it reaches communities in need of protein. Namibia has also embarked on a large-scale culling operation. The Namibian government recently approved the killing of 723 animals, which includes not only elephants but also hippos, buffalos, zebras, impalas, and elands. These animals are sourced from five national parks, where the population of wildlife has grown beyond sustainable levels and has led to increased conflicts between humans and animals. Romeo Muyunda, spokesperson for Namibia's environment department, explained that the decision aligns with the country’s constitutional mandate to use natural resources for the benefit of its citizens. "This is necessary and is in line with our constitutional mandate where our natural resources are used for the benefit of Namibian citizens," Muyunda said. He emphasized that this action demonstrates how wildlife conservation can directly benefit people. While neighboring Botswana has the world’s largest elephant population at 130,000, it has not followed Zimbabwe and Namibia's lead in culling elephants to feed its population. However, Botswana's approach remains a notable contrast amid the region's broader struggle with drought. Guyo Roba, a food security and agricultural expert from the Jameel Observatory, a Kenya-based environmental think tank, commented on the difficult decisions facing both Zimbabwe and Namibia. "They are working against a wildlife population that is above their carrying capacity," Roba said. He acknowledged that the measures might appear controversial at first glance, but stressed that the governments face a tough balancing act. "The governments are torn between remaining faithful to some of their obligations at an international level in terms of conservation and supporting the population,” Roba said. As the drought continues to ravage southern Africa, the decision to cull elephants and other wildlife has become a desperate measure to address immediate food shortages. While controversial, it underscores the complex challenges these nations face as they seek to protect both their citizens and their natural heritage. Credit: ABC 2024-09-19 -

Whistleblower Testifies Titan Sub Tragedy Was 'Inevitable' Due to Ignored Safety Warnings
In a public hearing on the 2023 Titan submersible tragedy, a former employee of OceanGate, the company behind the ill-fated vessel, claimed the disaster was "inevitable" due to the company bypassing safety protocols. David Lochridge, OceanGate’s former operations director, testified before U.S. Coast Guard investigators, stating that he had raised concerns about potential safety issues before being dismissed in 2018. His warnings were ignored, culminating in the tragedy that claimed five lives when the Titan imploded during a descent to the Titanic wreck in June 2023. Investigators disclosed additional details, including communications between the Titan and its mother ship, the Polar Prince. Notably, one of the last messages from the submersible before it imploded read, "all good here." Officials also revealed that during its earlier dives to the Titanic in 2021 and 2022, the submersible had experienced 118 equipment issues. Specific incidents included its batteries dying, leaving passengers stranded inside the sub for 27 hours. The Titan tragedy claimed the lives of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British explorer Hamish Harding, veteran French diver Paul Henri Nargeolet, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman. Following the incident, OceanGate suspended all exploration and commercial operations. Credit: BBC 2024-09-19 -

BBC Admits Past Lapses in Addressing Celebrity Misconduct
BBC Director-General Tim Davie has acknowledged that television stars have, in the past, been allowed to get away with "certain behaviours" within the workplace, an issue the corporation is actively working to address. This admission follows a series of high-profile scandals involving prominent figures within the organization. Davie made these remarks while addressing concerns that famous personalities receiving large salaries were being "indulged," with their actions often overlooked or excused. One of the most notable incidents involves Huw Edwards, once the BBC’s highest-paid news presenter, who was recently sentenced for child sex offences. Prior to this, complaints had surfaced from younger employees who alleged that Edwards had sent them inappropriate messages. Another BBC figure, Jermaine Jenas, known for his appearances on *Match of the Day* and *The One Show*, was recently dismissed after complaints surfaced about inappropriate messages he had sent. Additionally, Graziano Di Prima, a professional dancer on *Strictly Come Dancing*, departed the BBC following allegations that he had kicked his celebrity partner, raising concerns about a broader culture of bullying on the show. During an interview with the BBC’s Amol Rajan at the Royal Television Society conference, Davie reflected on the impact of these scandals. "There is no doubt that an affair like this impacts our reputation. We’re very mindful that people’s trust in the BBC is absolutely essential," he said. When questioned about the perception of preferential treatment for high-profile stars, Davie conceded that a disciplinary investigation into Edwards was halted after the presenter resigned. However, a broader review of the BBC’s workplace culture has been initiated. Davie acknowledged that, historically, the BBC may have excused the behaviour of certain creative talents. "There is still something about businesses where you’ve got these people... we often say that a person is creatively brilliant but it comes with certain behaviours," he remarked. He expressed a desire to shift the culture beyond excusing such conduct, stating, "One of the things I want to do in the next stage of this voyage as director-general – I really would love to be at a point where we really get beyond this. You use crisis to move yourself on." Pressed on whether star performers' bad behaviour was still being "indulged and excused," Davie admitted it remained "a constant work in progress." However, he emphasized that the workplace environment had evolved significantly, noting that over 50 percent of the BBC’s workforce is now female. "The environment is different. This is why it hurts so much when these things happen," he said. Davie also addressed the future of Edwards, making it clear that the disgraced presenter would not return to the BBC. "This man has just been convicted of appalling crimes and it’s pretty straightforward in my mind that I can’t see him working at the BBC again. It’s not a difficult question," he stated. While shocked by the revelations surrounding Edwards' "secret life," Davie clarified that the BBC would not entirely erase Edwards from its archives, given his significant role in covering major national events, including the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. "We never completely ban and rip someone out of the archive," he explained. Although Edwards’ material may not appear in day-to-day programming, Davie emphasized that removing all traces of such a prominent figure "doesn’t pass the common sense test." The BBC is also conducting a review into claims made by actress Amanda Abbington regarding her experiences on *Strictly Come Dancing*. Abbington has accused her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, of being "abusive, cruel and mean" during rehearsals, allegations Pernice strongly denies. Davie indicated that the review was nearing completion, although it was not finalized before the new season of the dance show began. "Many things in life would be useful," Davie said wryly when asked if the review’s timing could have been better aligned with the show’s schedule. As the BBC faces scrutiny and works to rebuild trust, Davie’s comments highlight the ongoing effort to address misconduct and foster a safer, more accountable workplace culture.

Kamala Harris Expresses Openness to Exploring Reparations for Slavery
Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States and a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, has indicated she is open to exploring reparations for slavery, marking a potential shift in national discourse on racial justice. During an interview with reporters from the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in Philadelphia, Harris emphasized the importance of confronting the long-lasting effects of America’s historical injustices, including slavery, redlining, and Jim Crow laws. Harris’s stance on reparations could influence her standing among Black voters, a demographic that polls suggest has grown increasingly disillusioned with the Democratic Party. Some of her allies believe that embracing reparations could help win back these voters. However, others fear that the topic could alienate more voters than it attracts, given the stark racial divide on the issue. Throughout her career, Harris has largely avoided engaging in debates centered on identity politics. As the first Black woman to lead a major party’s presidential ticket, she has often navigated discussions about race with care. During the NABJ interview, she underscored the importance of not assuming support from Black voters based solely on her heritage. “I think it’s very important to not operate from the assumption that Black men are in anybody’s pocket,” she said. “Black men are like any other voting group, you’ve gotta earn their vote. So I’m working to earn the vote, not assuming I’m going to have it because I am Black.” Her comments reflect the delicate balance she must strike as she seeks to unite a broad coalition of voters in the 2024 election, particularly at a time when Republican candidate Donald Trump has been gaining traction among Black men. In contrast to Harris, Trump has consistently focused on identity politics, taking aim at Harris’s dual heritage. In his own address to the NABJ, Trump controversially claimed that Harris had only recently “happened to turn Black.” His remarks highlight the growing tensions surrounding race in the upcoming election.

Ending the Ukraine War Before Nuclear Catastrophe
As tensions between Russia and the West intensify, the Biden administration is reportedly considering a move that could push the world to the edge of nuclear disaster. According to The New York Times, there is growing discussion about allowing Ukraine to use NATO-supplied long-range precision weapons to target Russian territories. This decision, if pursued, would bring the world closer to the threat of nuclear conflict than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Instead of prioritizing a diplomatic solution to end the war, which many argue should never have started, the current administration seems to be adopting a strategy that Russia has explicitly warned against. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that any such attack on Russian territory would be viewed as a direct act of war by NATO. “Long-range strikes in Russia will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia,” Putin warned. However, some American analysts dismiss this as a bluff. As The Times noted, “17 former ambassadors and generals wrote in a letter to the administration this week, ‘Easing the restrictions on Western weapons will not cause Moscow to escalate… Moscow’s response remains unchanged despite Ukraine striking Crimea and Kursk.’” These voices are advocating a dangerous form of brinksmanship, mistaking Russia’s restraint for weakness. They propose pushing the envelope further, with each escalation — from HIMARS to cluster munitions, tanks, fighter jets, and now long-range missiles — inching the world ever closer to a catastrophic nuclear war. The assumption seems to be that if a provocation doesn’t trigger a response, it’s safe to push harder. But this thinking ignores a critical factor: Russia is a nuclear power. President John F. Kennedy understood the precarious balance of nuclear deterrence. In 1963, he warned, “Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.” This wisdom seems to have been forgotten. Putin has repeatedly signaled that Russia could use nuclear weapons if its territorial integrity is threatened. In September 2022, he declared, “If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without doubt use all available means to protect Russia and our people — this is not a bluff.” Putin’s deal with Belarus to station tactical nuclear weapons there and Russia’s recent revision of its nuclear doctrine should be taken seriously. It is hard to imagine how the United States would react if a foreign power were arming its enemies with missiles and providing training to strike deep within its territory. The U.S. would never tolerate such actions. Why, then, should anyone expect Russia to accept these provocations? This dangerous game of nuclear brinksmanship must end. There is no further step between launching U.S.-provided missiles into Russian territory and a potential nuclear exchange. The risks could not be higher. And for what? To weaken Russia? To control Ukraine’s natural resources? No vital American interest is at stake that justifies risking nuclear conflict. The pursuit of global dominance at the cost of such peril is nothing short of madness. The war fever gripping Washington has reached alarming levels. In last Tuesday’s debate, Vice President Kamala Harris evoked the possibility of Russian forces advancing across Europe, a scenario that strains credulity. Russia has struggled to make headway in Ukraine, a country far from Europe’s greatest military powers. It is clear that Russia’s war aims, stated early on, revolved around Ukrainian neutrality and halting NATO’s expansion eastward. After so many lives lost and resources spent, no party involved in this conflict is better off. It is time to recognize the catastrophic implications of continuing down this path. A nuclear war would mean the end of civilization, and perhaps humanity itself. Former President Donald Trump has pledged to end this war, but by the time he takes office, it might be too late. The time for diplomacy is now. President Biden and Vice President Harris must reverse their current course and engage in direct negotiations with Moscow to prevent an unspeakable disaster. The stakes could not be higher, and the time to act is rapidly running out. Opinion Donald Trump Jr & Robert F. Kennedy Jr Credit: The Hill 2024-09-19 -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
So Yusuf is upset that an unknown entity targeted Hezbollah leaders/commanders and senior operatives. Did Yusef forget that Hezbollah is already been pledged to the destruction of Israel and has been attacking Israel for years? What rules of war and humanity were breached? The entity responsible selectively targeted enemy operatives and avoided indiscriminate killing and property destruction. Under the rules of war proportionality is a determining factor, and the responsible entity targeted brilliantly. Raydan should have a look at the history of Hezbollah in Syria and its use of poison gas on non combatants, its execution of POWs and indiscriminate rape and torture of Syrians. Odd that no Hezbollah supporters have anything to say about Syria.- 1

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Here's a thought: the day after the election, Trump sues in Federal Court to overturn the election. After denials on lower levels, Trump appeals to the Supreme Court with the hope that the SC will simply hand Trump the election because reasons.
