Joe Biden is arming Greece so that Greece can arm Ukraine, and pro-Russia Republicans can’t stop him. This move is made possible through the “excess defense articles” law, which allows the US to declare surplus military systems and give them away to other countries. Greece will receive old US military equipment for free, and in return, they will provide Ukraine with their old equipment.
I can almost hear the steam whistling out of Republicans’ ears and noses as they react to this news. It’s a clever strategy to circumvent their opposition and ensure aid reaches Ukraine. It’s a shame that negotiations for this took a while to hash out, but at least it’s happening now.… Continue reading
Gazans call for Hamas overthrow, flee through IDF humanitarian corridor
It’s about time. The sooner Hamas is gone, the better off everyone is. I’m glad to see that more and more people are waking up to that reality. While we can’t expect Hamas to be completely eradicated, it seems that its days as a serious organization are numbered at this point. And that’s a step in the right direction.
I hope that peace can be achieved moving forward. The people of Gaza have suffered for far too long under the rule of Hamas. It’s heartbreaking to see the destruction and loss of life caused by their actions.… Continue reading
As I sit here reading through the latest revelations about the fossil fuel industry’s knowledge of climate change as early as 1954, I can’t help but feel a mix of anger, frustration, and disappointment. It’s shocking to think that these companies were aware of the dangers of their products for decades and yet chose to hide this information. But perhaps what is even more disturbing is that nothing has been done about it.
This isn’t the first time that powerful industries have hidden the harmful effects of their products. Just like with leaded gas, which they also kept hidden from us, it seems that profit always takes precedence over the well-being of the population.… Continue reading
US marshals have managed to lure a fugitive killer out of hiding with a clever yoga ad. This wild story of cat and mouse involves a woman named Kaitlin Armstrong, who evaded authorities for over a month by using her sister’s passport and assuming multiple fake identities. She even went so far as to undergo plastic surgery to change her appearance. However, her love for yoga ultimately led to her downfall.
Investigators enlisted a female operative to take local yoga classes in hopes of spotting Armstrong, a yoga enthusiast herself. Despite their efforts, they were unable to locate her in Santa Teresa, a popular travel destination where many people physically resemble Armstrong.… Continue reading
Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy
It’s disheartening to see the Republican Party continuously undermine the very foundation of our democracy. They have made it abundantly clear that they do not believe in the principles of a democratic society. For years, they have openly declared that we are not a democracy, but a republic. While technically true, this argument is misleading and serves as a smokescreen for their anti-democratic agenda.
The Republican Party’s desire for power is palpable. They long for a system akin to Russia, where authoritarian rule reigns supreme. The comparisons to Hitler’s rise to power in Germany are not unwarranted.… Continue reading
China Evergrande, the world’s most indebted developer, has been ordered to liquidate by a Hong Kong court. With over $300 billion in total liabilities, this move is likely to have significant ripple effects on China’s financial markets and could potentially become a global emergency. As someone who frequently travels between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, I have observed the stark contrast in the way the news is presented. Mainland China reassures its citizens that there is nothing to worry about, while Hong Kong warns of an impending disaster. This stark difference in narratives is troubling, and it raises questions about the transparency and reliability of information.… Continue reading
As I observe the ongoing saga of Trump’s rage against E. Jean Carroll, coupled with his apparent disregard for Melania on their wedding anniversary, I can’t help but feel a sense of detachment. Melania clearly wants nothing to do with him. It’s evident in the way she recoils in disgust at his touch, as if she can’t bear the thought of being in his presence. But here’s the thing – she knew exactly what she was getting into when she married him.
I have zero sympathy for Melania. She willingly chose to marry this man, fully aware of his character and behavior.… Continue reading
After claiming the stock market would crash if Biden wins in 2020, Trump tries to take credit for 2024 stock market record high
It’s truly mind-boggling how some individuals continue to believe anything that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth. From his outlandish claims about the stock market to his incessant need to be the center of attention, Trump’s words and actions reek of pure delusion. He seems to live in a world where reality is disregarded in favor of his own narcissistic fantasies.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on his previous prediction that the stock market would crash if Biden won the 2020 election.… Continue reading
The recent report suggesting that Trump falsified disclosures over a $48 million loan, potentially evading taxes, shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. The man seems to have made a habit out of evading taxes and engaging in fraudulent activities throughout his career. And yet, he continues to evade any real consequences for his actions.
It’s infuriating to see such blatant disregard for the law and a complete lack of accountability. If any ordinary citizen were to engage in tax evasion or falsify financial disclosures, they would undoubtedly face serious consequences. But when it comes to Trump, it seems like he’s always able to maneuver his way out of trouble.… Continue reading
As news of the Russia military jet crashing in a region near Ukraine spread, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease and skepticism. It’s no secret that tensions between Russia and Ukraine have been high, with both sides engaged in a conflict that has caused immense suffering and loss of life. The question of who is responsible for this tragic incident is a topic of debate, but what strikes me most is the lack of transparency and trustworthiness on both sides.
Russia’s ministry of defense claims that the jet was carrying 65 captured Ukrainian military personnel who were being transported for a prisoner exchange.… Continue reading
