(1) None of the bullets causing the death of the young woman came from any of the police weapons.
1)
None of them.
(2) Two of the cops cleared of any wrongdoing. One cop indicted for "wanton endangerment" for pushing in to a premises without sufficient warning, though there was a warrant.
The girl was killed by bullets fired by her associates at the police.
2)
NOW, WHAT OF THE PROTESTERS? DID THEY STOP PROTESTING AGAINST THE POLICE. WAS A RIOT AVOIDED?
OF COURSE NOT. THEY ATTACKED THE POLICE, THREW GASOLINE BOMBS, AND TRIED TO INJURE COPS.
THEY DIDN'T CARE WHO KILLED THE GIRL.

This is what is happening on American streets. I was told that the protests were bolstered by cars with license tags from Illinois and Missouri, or in other words from the St Louis area and up to Chicago. People brought in to create violence."

1)
But I have a question.
If Epstein is such a great bad guy, and if Ghislaine Maxwell is deserving of a 20-year prison sentence, it seems to me that the parents of the underage girls should have some responsibility as well.
2)
After all, in a number of cases, girls 14–17 disappeared for days at a time, without parents seemingly seeing anything wrong. If one’s daughter is gone for several nights, missing school for days, and comes home with lots of money,

Those that watch old movies, perhaps will remember what a boarding house is. But to explain what it is for everyone else…..
1)
A Boarding House was generally a large older home or building where the owners, usually older and in need of extra income, would rent out rooms, provide utilities, communal meals at least three times a day, for minimal rent. Often residents would share chores.
2)
Most often a Boarding House would be sort of something between a retail deal and a family, but providing many of the comforts (friendship, caring, responsibility) one associates with family.

I waited until I could read it and I am very happy to see a lot of positive elements, especially considering how in the past US-India relations were often at odds,
1)
partly because of Indian protectionism and party because of political considerations on both sides, both of which were essentially without much sense.
2)
In short, the new agreement opens the door to a lot more trade between the USA and India in addition to a lot more investment into development in India. Tarriffs are to be lowered, with the prospect of further reductions as time passes.

Nostra Aetate, Israel, and the Boundaries of Catholic Faith
In recent years, a rising number of voices—especially in online spaces—have attempted to discredit Nostra Aetate, the 1965 declaration of the Second Vatican Council...
1)
on the Church’s relationship to non-Christian religions and, above all, to the Jewish people. Some portray it as a betrayal of tradition, others as the product of infiltration or corruption. These claims are not only historically false.
2)
They are theologically dangerous. What is at stake is nothing less than whether the Catholic Church remains faithful to Scripture, to its own Magisterium, and to the moral truth it painfully recovered in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
3)
For too many years to count and to anyone who would listen I stated the obvious. Jonathon Greenblatt destroyed the ADL because he is a partisan hack who weaponized antisemitism thereby making the word meaningless to those wrongfully accused. 1)
He is a huge part of the problem. He allowed critical race theory to be taught flipping Jewish history on its head calling us occupiers/oppressors in our own indigenous homeland. He allowed antisemitism to be taught.
2)
Then he allowed DEI and ESG to discriminate against Jews and for this Jew hate to be spread to every social justice group. Eventually his solution after it was way too late and a dumb idea, was to include us in the Oppression Olympics.
