Ossoff: "I want to remind folks across Georgia that while you pay more for everything as a result of Donald Trump's incompetence, the president and his family are enriching themselves to the tune of billions of dollars ... we urgently need to restore checks and balances"

Aquí le tengo que dar la razón a Juan Dalmau, si el PNP y PPD de veras quisieran combatir la corrupción hubieran hecho un frente unido con el PIP. Hay mil ideas buenas para contrarrestar la corrupción, muchas sugeridas por el PIP, lo que falta es voluntad y deseo de colaboración.

Hitler thought & said the same thing; Trump has survived maybe 4 assassination attempts. Well, Hitler survived at least 6 well documented assassination attempts & maybe as many as 9 or 10. Satan protects his own too so don’t give me that “God saved Trump” bullshit. Trump is evil.

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

BREAKING: Joe Biden has one day left to nationalize all of America’s industries, collectivize all our farms, throw millions of conservatives into reeducation gulags, and force us at gunpoint to convert to communism like Trump repeatedly claimed he would back in 2020.

Even when elections didn't go my way, I always thought the system was robust and that pendulums swing. I do not feel that way about the prospect of a Trump presidency. I think there is a substantial risk that it would be immensely destructive because it moves the conversation into realms that we don’t usually think about. Its destructiveness won’t take the form of interest rates being 100bp lower or higher than they should have been, or the budget deficit being one-and-a-half percentage points of GDP higher or lower than it should have been. But it will take the form of destruction of the fabric of rule of law, which is the air that successful capitalism breathes.

This Israeli student speaking against hatred at a pro-Hamas event at @Columbia University's school of Social Work (@ColumbiaSSW) is one of the bravest women I have heard in a while.
Do yourself a favor and listen to her speak.

To those who say I bring "shame" to Arabs and Muslims,
It's not the psychopaths who rape women in Sweden who bring shame to Arabs and Muslims. It's not the terrorists who murder journalists in France who bring shame to Arabs and Muslims. It's not the maniacs who praise terrorists in the U.S. and the UK who bring shame to Arabs and Muslims. It's not the fascists who burn down embassies in Iraq who bring shame to Arabs and Muslims. It's not the psychos who kill their daughters and sisters for taking off the hijab who bring shame to Arabs and Muslims. It's not the beasts who hurls homosexuals off buildings who bring shame to Arabs and Muslims.
It's me typing on my keyboard or talking to the camera, telling Arabs and Muslims: "Our culture needs to change," and "Killing Jews is not okay," who brings shame to Arabs and Muslims.
Fascinating.

Over the weekend, Bahrain’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa became the first Arab leader to publicly condemn Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
During a keynote address at the @IISS_org’s annual summit, he announced that he "unequivocally condemned" Hamas. He also criticized Israel and the death toll in Gaza and called for peace.
No matter who you are or what you see as the solution, we should all agree that Hamas's attack on October 7 was barbaric and must be condemned unequivocally. If the leader of Bahrain can do it, then everyone else — politicians, students, professors, journalists, world leaders, and anyone in between — should be able to do it too.

President Biden has created a growing economy. With record-low unemployment and job creation, three huge bills investing in infrastructure, and reducing the price of insulin for millions, he's just getting started.

Estamos dejando pasar el tema de la aparición de los niños como algo «normal», no hemos caído en cuenta que sobrevivieron 40 días en la selva, sin absolutamente nada, sin mencionar que la mayor del grupo es una niña de 13 años.
Pero esperen, aún hay más. El milagro no es solo el que aparecieran después de tanto tiempo, que lograran sobrevivir con una bebe de 11 meses, y que se alimentaran de frutas como borojó que es muy dura de abrir, mucho más para un niño, o en algunas ocasiones mangos, y pudieran calmar la sed gracias al conocimiento de técnicas ancestrales. No, ese no es el milagro principal.
El verdadero milagro es que los 4 niños hayan logrado sobrevivir a la caída frontal de un avión. El hecho de que la herida más grave hubiera sido solo un rasguño en la frente de la hermana mayor es de no creer. Pueden creer o no en Dios o en una fuerza divina, pero lo que sucedió con estos niños es un verdadero milagro.
Para terminar esta historia y agregarle otro toque de «realismo mágico», es necesario hablar de Wilson, el perrito héroe de las fuerzas especiales. Él se adentró en la selva en busca de los niños y los encontró en dos oportunidades. Quizás fue gracias a Wilson que los niños no perdieron la esperanza y siguieron adelante, sabiendo que aún los seguían buscando. Este pequeño héroe pudo servir de inspiración para los niños, quienes supieron que no estaban solos en su lucha por sobrevivir. Gracias a Wilson, los pequeños pudieron continuar con valentía hasta ser rescatados.
Gracias Wilson, esperamos también tu regreso.

Do I have this right?:
It was a normal day of tourism, but Pelosi refused to call in the Nat’l Guard?
The rioters were Antifa, but those in jail are politics prisoners?
Dems rigged the election, but then rioted to stop a congressional procedure that would put Biden in office?
