Biden:

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is dead.

This is a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world.

Here’s my full statement.

[CW child abuse] Huw Edwards: Former BBC presenter given suspended sentence

spoilerover indecent images of children

this is the guy who announced the queens death

Huw Edwards has been spared jail for accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.

Prosecutor Ian Hope told the court Edwards had been assessed as posing a "medium risk of causing serious harm to children".

In sentencing remarks, district judge Paul Goldspring added he was at "considerable risk of harm from others" if he had ended up in prison.

random bullshit go defense incoming:

A separate report conducted by a psychosexual therapist said: "The feelings of being desirable and unseen alongside Mr Edwards's unresolved sexual orientation created a perfect storm where he engaged in sexual infidelities and became vulnerable to people blackmailing him."

The judge also said that Edwards was of "previous good character" and, until now, had been "very highly regarded by the public" - whom to many he had broken the news of the late Queen's death.

[...]This created an "enduring cognitive dissonance and low self-esteem", which was "compounded by a sense of being inferior" by not getting into Oxford University and going to Cardiff instead and "being therefore something of an outsider at the BBC".

0 time in prison.

Worryingly, young people in the U.K. (ages 18-34) also have the highest levels of support for communism (29 per cent) and fascism (19 per cent) among the four countries.

yeah those are both equally worrying!

Dude, I've always liked you, so maybe this should be a longer conversation. But come on. "Are there no upsides to immigration?" is a radically different question from "Should we drop 20,000 people from a radically different culture in a small Ohio town in a matter of a few years?"

First of all, remember that I've been on this issue for months, well before it became viral. You have actual leftists who will say, "look, housing prices have gone up, it's great for the local residents." What about the people who don't own homes? What about the grandparents who do own homes but would like their kids to have a chance to buy a home?

Look at the number of Medicaid recipients who are newcomers. Do you not think that stresses the local hospital system? I have constituents who say they've lost their jobs, or been told they won't be getting a raise, because new migrants are willing to work for cheap. There are homeless people who can't get homes. Look at the number of ESL students in a small school district--increasing over three fold to nearly 1,000 kids. Do you think it affects the quality of the education for locals when their schools are flooded with a bunch of people who don't speak the language? I could go on and on.

Again, a longer conversation, but I don't know why your automatic assumption is that the only reason people are complaining about this is that they have bad motivations. And I cannot stand the condescension directed at all of these people who--on the record--are giving very specific testimonials about how their lives were made worse

This is a really good thread, look at recent vents in the west (the UK pogroms with the Labour government's weak response, this 'cat eater' blood libel pushed by a PRESIDENTIAL candidate that the Democratic government is barely pushing back on (have they at all?), AfD, whatever the hell Macron is doing, there's an active genocide but most liberals don't care because they're comfortable, they're not Palestinians or muslims or immigrants.

The strategy for every 'left' party is to appease the far right. people in the UK stood by as a man blocked the exit of a hotel housing asylum seekers and set it on fire. BBC News tried to 'both sides' it, and all week we heard 'Um what if they had LEGITIMATE concerns?' 'Their ACTIONS were bad but their CONCERNS should be heard!!!' It's not difficult to see where this can go.

And then there's the repression of Pro-Palestine protestors on US campuses. The Squadristi are already here, they just aren't so organised yet..

I know it has like 3 likes but I've seen so many people with this view, it's insane 'My uncle went to help them as a missionary but they're hopeless LOL aren't you glad to live in America?'

Meanwhile this is what missionaries do in Haiti:

CW s-----l child abuse https://www.parentsformeganslaw.org/missionary-who-admits-to-sexually-abusing-boys-in-haiti-is-sentenced/

And the UN: CW child grooming https://theconversation.com/they-put-a-few-coins-in-your-hands-to-drop-a-baby-in-you-265-stories-of-haitian-children-abandoned-by-un-fathers-114854

And the fact that this person clearly thinks that they're smarter and superior to every Haitian when they don't even understand production. Racism is a disease, instead of trying to find the answer to this contradiction they conclude 'because they're African lol' they genuinely believe the 67 IQ lie.
