Parkinson’s rates in the US have doubled in the past 30 years. And studies suggest they will climb another 15 to 35 percent in each coming decade. This is not how an inherited genetic disease is supposed to behave.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the horrific antisemitic terror attack on a Hanukkah event in Australia in which at least 11 people were killed.

From 2020: Comey doesn't want Trump to be investigated because doesn't want his own activity to be investigated. Comey spent his tenure at the FBI protecting a mafia syndicate linked to the Kremlin -- a mafia syndicate two other former FBI heads went on to serve.

Trump ended deportation protections for South Sudanese immigrants, prioritized asylum for white South Africans, and threatened to invade Nigeria. It’s all part of the Christian nationalist playbook.
How Christian Nationalism Is Shaping Trump’s Foreign Policy Toward Africa
Whether ending deportation protections, prioritizing asylum, or all-out threatening invasion, Trump is following the Christian nationalist playbook.

Actually, economists are agreed that pretty much the opposite of everything JD Vance says here is true. Immigrants are essential to fueling residential construction. Removing them in number will, and has, caused a slump in new construction.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Lethal Panther 2. Some of the most insane action ever shot, sandwiched with the most inane scenes ever. Still, a lot of this is pretty rad. Would go for a good release of this.

We need to refer to it as raping underage girls, rather than pedophilia. The latter suggests a sexual attraction to ONLY little girls, and we know that Trump also rapes full-grown women.
Jasmine Crockett: "If people decide that they want to continue to support person who may be a pedophile themselves or a person who obviously is covering on pedophiles, that's on them. But they should at least know the devil they decided to pick."
