"The attack on the Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam was not because they were Jews but because they were thugs who started provoking everyone until they received their punishment. The ugly truth about the Amsterdam incident is the Western media has adopted and promoted the Israeli narrative that the attack was anti-Semitic and a pogrom against Jews.
 
Even the Jewish Forward editorial today took issues with Israeli and global leaders today who denounced the attack on the hooligans as a modern-day pogrom. The editorial argued, "The Merriam-Webster Dictionary is more blatant.

In reading the postmortems for the Harris/Biden failed Presidential campaign, democrats and progressives are quite concerned about the possibility of RFK Jr. overseeing the safety laws on food production and point to his mythical antivax positions. Oh what a horror! In my way of thinking, this comes down to three major issues, those being food safety, Covid (mRNA) vaccines, and childhood vaccines. If democrats believe this is a negative for the Trump administration, they should think again. My reasoning is that Bobby Kennedy is likely correct, and that his efforts could easily result in positive outcomes for the American people.

Before I explain further, I moved to Thailand in 2022 as a result of Trump and the MAGA crowd that follows him.

At the risk of sounding like a voter conspiracy theorist, I forward the following facts and observations about the presidential election that we have just endured for the perusal of you, the readers.
In the spirit of full disclosure, it should be noted that I firmly believe that a few particular conspiracy theories - more than one person involved, which constitutes a "conspiracy", as opposed to "lone nut shooters" - provided to avid readers and serious historians over the past 60 years by numerous investigative authors concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F.

There are a lot of news articles speculating about what could happen to immigrants under a Trump 2.0 administration. Let’s hear some first-hand accounts of what did happen during Trump’s first term. These are the family separations that didn’t appear in the national spotlight.

“My skin itched of the mud stuck to my body, drying.”

A woman working at Corso’s Garden Center in Sandusky buried herself in a flower bed to hide during the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at her workplace in 2018. What started with an offer of donuts in the break room (a ruse) turned into a dystopian nightmare for people who were working and trying to take care of their families. “I never expected anything like this to happen. When I saw them coming, I ran. And I ran and ran and ran until I hid under a bed of flowers, and I buried myself under the dirt and cried in silence. All I could think about was my kids, I have three. A lot of us have some children who need us.”

Since 1980, RESULTS volunteers have secured billions of dollars in new funding for health, education, and economic opportunity programs worldwide. They have helped pass groundbreaking legislation that will help kids in low-income countries go to school and get life-saving medical treatment. They have mobilized against cuts to vital anti-poverty programs that help millions here in the U.S. put food on the table and get health insurance. They have done it all by building relationships with members of Congress, engaging with the media, and taking their message straight to Capitol Hill.

While many advocates in RESULTS are very disappointed by the election results, we are prepared to continue with our work. That's because RESULTS, which has been around for 44 years, is non-partisan and has been through this before -- many times. We work with both sides of the aisle to get support for policies that are aimed at  ending poverty such as the expanded Child Tax Credit, a fully funded SNAP, a Renter's Tax Credit to help low income renters afford their homes.
