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
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
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
The recent news of Marcus Eriz being found guilty of killing 6-year-old Aiden Leos in a road rage incident has left me with a heavy heart. It’s a tragic event that highlights the consequences of impulsiveness and the dangerous combination of anger and access to firearms.
When asked about his motive, Eriz admitted that he didn’t have one. He claimed to be “stupid” and unaware of the consequences of his actions. This statement is alarming, as it shows a complete disregard for human life and a lack of empathy. It raises the question of how someone like him could obtain a gun in the first place.… Continue reading
Trump Must Pay $83.3 Million to E. Jean Carroll for Defamation
The recent ruling ordering Donald Trump to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation is a significant moment in the fight against sexual assault and the importance of accountability for public figures. The unanimous verdict by the jury not only sends a powerful message that no one is above the law but also highlights the need for victims to have their voices heard and believed.
The fact that Trump was found to have defamed Carroll follows a separate $5 million sexual abuse and defamation judgment issued against him last year.… Continue reading
As I read the news about Canada sending more equipment to Ukraine as the full-scale war with Russia nears its two-year mark, I can’t help but feel a mixture of gratitude and concern. It is heartening to see Canada stepping up to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. As a Canadian, I am proud that our country is standing on the side of justice and freedom.
However, I can’t help but notice the underlying sentiment in some of the comments – that Canada has no need for its military equipment because we are protected by our proximity to the United States.… Continue reading
