The EARN IT Act, a bill that provides new remedies for children victimized by the distribution of child sexual abuse material and ensures that online platforms will be more diligent in reporting instances of child sexual abuse to NCMEC’s CyberTipline.
2)
The EARN IT Act recognizes the significant impact of child sex trafficking and the enticement of children for sexual abuse and the need to ensure online platforms report these crimes to the CyberTipline.
3)
The bill also enables children who have been sexually exploited online, as well as State Attorneys General, to seek legal recourse against online platforms that engage in the distribution and circulation of sexually abusive images across the internet."

İt is easy to differentiate the two.
YOU SEE, “REAL JOURNALISM”. This means facts are presented to inform.
1)
But media propaganda generally employed adjectives of a perforative and inaccurate nature or phrasing to create impressions contrary to facts, or to distract from fact.
Simple?
You can find lots of examples without any real effort.
2)
Just watch the news, whether The BBC, or CNN, or any Western network. Today, there are more efforts to characterize people and things - efforts to prejudice your opinions, rather than just give you that facts.

Parshat Emor

This Parsha has a lot to say about the qualifications for a Cohan to serve in that role in the Mishkan (Tabernacle) 1)
or the Temple and about the things that would disqualify a sacrifice from use. You can read all about it yourself as it is fairly self-explanatory and as such really does not interest me right now.

The second part of the Parsha is essentially a list of holidays - good to be reminded
It is the third item that gets my imagination going. Emor concludes with the incident of a man to be executed for blasphemy, and the penalties for murder (death) and

And the government put the country under martial law to stop them.
But what’s the real story? For the first time, the woman at the heart of the trucker convoy speaks out.

1)
The ads claim that DeSantis, while in Congress voted 3 times to damage Social Security in various ways.
The fact is, there have been no votes in Congress by any House members, to damage or change Social Security —

so there is no way DeSantis or anyone else could have voted to do so.
What there has been is discussions in committees to discuss means of solving the financial problems of the Social Security System,

I have claimed that stones are deadly weapons and that it is rational to respond with deadly force in defense. In fact, in 1986, that is exactly how I responded when a group of 12 stone-throwers attacked a car I was driving with my family just east of Jerusalem.

Fortunately firing one shot into the air was sufficient to scare away the terrorists.
But for those who want to discount the seriousness of stone-throwing see how Colorado has treated three young men who killed a young woman."

Therefore, the problem with such predictions — is that they are totally false, and it is not even very intelligent lie.

A. The USA is one of only 3 countries that is capable off being 100% self-sufficient, so it is up to the USA to choose to be or not to be self-sufficient - and what the rest of the world does or does not do has very little ability to affect that decision.
