Perhaps this is relevant, -- Mr. Fakhri is Lebanese, and believes that Israel occupies land that rightfully belongs to the Palestinian people. Yeah, completely unbiased. Perhaps - or perhaps it is one of several red herrings in your response, which doesn't address the gist of the article ie why are...

The facts are the facts....

Right. Do you have any evidence that Biden is corrupt?

No more dfual pricing perhaps. Allowed top get everything at Thai Resident prices. You would have to end up with some type of Thai ID card, otherwise the ticket sellers at the national parks, for example, would have no way of knowing. FWIW, my Thai driver's license gets me the Thai Resident prices ...

"Just today I read an article from Forbes. They estimate that his wealth has dropped from 3 billion down to 2.5 billion and since Covid is recovering. He is obviously not in any financial trouble." Quoting an amount for people does not reflect their wealth. I remember the saying for people who farm...

. . . Joe n Hunter over the many years theyve been double dealing .. THe problem is that there's no proof. You don't hear much from the Republicans in Congress these days about impeaching Joe. That's because their star witness has admitted to lying about the whole thing and has been criminally char...

That huge NY penalty will most certainly get overturned and thrown out of court.

I'm a litigator, and I learned decades ago that it's pointless to try to predict what judges will do.

Within 60 seconds of my describing my issue as throttling the problem was fixed. Not enough time for the ISP to diagnose a performance issue, check upload, download, latency, downstream speed issues etc, not enough time to check all the settings on the router and reboot to lock in new settings, but...

The rabid democrats continue to throw all sorts of charges against Trump on the wall hoping something will stick. Is it possible that he actually did some of the things of which he's accused? He's admitted to falsifying his financial statements as the NYAG accused him of doing, his defense was that...

My question is, do they still have to go through a trial? Do you know? I don't.

My understanding is that if the accused confesses, the prosecutor, defense attorney and judge sit down and figure out the appropriate punishment, whether cash payment to the victim(s), prison time, or both.

According to Putin's filing for this year's presidential election, he is not a rich man. He makes $125k/year, owns 2 small apartments and 3 cars (1960 and 1965 Volga and 2009 Lada).

And if you believe that's the extent of his assets, I have a bridge that I'd like to sell you.

IF Uncle Joe is the nominee and IF he is elected,that would be very dangerous because Kamala the air head would likely become president. That's scary indeed. Trump would be a safer choice. Not really. There is no indication that Kamala would try to turn American democracy on its head. You can't say...

The problem is Hamas, and as long as it continues to exist, there will be no possibility of peace on the region, or peace for the Palestinian people. I agree - but as it is unlikely that Hamas can be completely destroyed, even while killing an even more significant percentage of the Palestinian pop...

Or alternatively, out of an abundance of caution - see from about 5.30m into this report. I would say unlikely. One doesn't typically fire people with no evidence, among other reasons it could open them up to legal action. But IMO the whole thing is ridiculous anyway. The Palestinians have been ref...
