Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue

Translation; Netanyahu annoying the Haredim like this risks blowing his majority and forcing an election he seems doomed to lose. That might be the idea. It gives him, and his political party, a way out of the war, while leaving someone else to have to clean up the mess. But also lands Netanyahu wi...

Daesh has been vowing to strike Russia for years because they propped up Assad and thus provided major contribution to the defeat of their Caliphate.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue

Speaker Johnson, in apparent reaction to Senator Schumer's statement last week, has invited Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, consulting with neither the Senate nor the White House. No date has been set, and it will be difficult to convene a joint session without the cooperation of the Senate....

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform

My wife was watching something last night that said the real reason the US wants to ban TikTok is some rich asshole wants to own it, can't, so he's trying to get the government to ban it to force a sale. No idea if that's true. I mean, Steve Mnuchin and Bobby Kotick are both hovering over this like...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform

From what's been reported, the bill will ban the app from U.S. based app stores. I don't know if it will also IP block existing installations from the United States but it didn't sound like it. In any case, a bunch of Senators want to hold hearings before moving on the bill, so it isn't going to pas...

Not much, because everyone knows that if Russia wants peace it can have it as easily as withdrawing across the border.

I'm not American but it looks like Biden did a good job during his term all things considered. But despite that, he's too old to run again (then again, so is Trump).

If Biden were senile he wouldn't be able to run rings around the House the way he does. The way he baited them into booing their own plan of cutting Medicare and Social Security was a work of art. :lol:

Is it too TRR/Chicken Little to declare we're getting four more years of Trump at this point?
