The effort to arrest Meng Wanzhou started last summer apparently, and the warrant was issued on 22 August. Nobody bothered to tell Trump (intentionally perhaps) and he was unaware of it at the time of the G2-Summit in Argentina. The potential fallout can make sure that China becomes a real enemy (watch how retaliation plays out) and the DC crowd will have their “perfect storm”.
American Jews have nothing to fear from the new congressional critics of Israel.
The conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is a bit of rhetorical sleight-of-hand that depends on treating Israel as the embodiment of the Jewish people everywhere.
As long as the de facto policy of the Israeli government is that there should be only one state in historic Palestine, it’s unreasonable to regard Palestinian demands for equal rights in that state as anti-Semitic.
cost billions, largely obsolete, entangle US in foreign wars, support dictators, cause blowback, damage the environment, damage America's reputation and inspire protests, bad for families.
The first two hash tag links below compile astonishing videos, photos and articles on the riots and chaos instigated by the “Yellow Jacket“ movement consuming – over the weekend – not only some famous parts of Paris, but reaching out to other parts of France and other countries, such as Belgium and the Netherlands.
The MSM in the USA has given some coverage as of Sunday (I monitored it closely since Saturday), but it’s brief and mostly lame, and misrepresenting – I think deliberately – the riots as merely about objections to Macron’s allegedly environment-saving gas tax. It is far more than that. The rioters mostly comprise white, working class native-born French – similar to what Hilary Clinton called the “deplorables” in the US – plus some Communists.
The atrocities and crimes of the Bush family, headed by George Herbert Walker Bush, are unspeakable and unimaginable in depravity and scale.
Decades of war, war crimes, and treason.
Global narcotics trafficking, money laundering, fraud and financial looting.
Mass murder, assassination; the extermination of political enemies and whistleblowers.
The absolute criminalization of military and intelligence agencies, and the corruption of entire governments, across all political parties.
Devastation and violence in every corner of the planet, from the killing fields of Asia to the Middle East and Latin America, to the United States itself.
The institutionalization of terrorism, criminal cover-up and The Big Lie.
Religious communities often face a choice: Sell off the buildings they can no longer afford, or find a way to fill them with new uses.
Many of our nation’s churches can no longer afford to maintain their structures—6,000 to 10,000 churches die each yearin America—and that number will likely grow. Though more than 70 percent of our citizens still claim to be Christian, congregational participation is less central to many Americans’ faith than it once was. Most denominations are decliningas a share of the overall population, and donations to congregations have been fallingfor decades. Meanwhile, religiously unaffiliated Americans, nicknamed the “nones,” are growingas a share of the U.S. population.
