Pete Hegseth probably blocked aid on his own authority without asking President Trump first. This is a correction of that decision. Unfortunately, Trump prizes loyalty even above being in sync on policy issues.

Exactly.

We will know late August, when the CCP meets and the shakeup is supposedly going to take place. IMO, the time between now and then is dangerous as Xi might make an extreme act to hold on to power.

The Chinese government is paying huge incentives for every car sold. This is their way of gaming the system to subsidize their industry and undercut non-Chinese auto makers.

If they moved the nuclear enrichment, that would have destroyed the process too. No way to keep the centrifuges spinning at a constant rate while moving them.

Presumably it is to discourage Iran from attacking US assets in the region, knowing that the US have weapons that they can use to counter-attack. Any counter-attack needs to be against Israel alone, not the US. That’s what the US wants.

Not this far from the front lines. This was in the Russian rear.

The article needed translation: “Please don’t invade me.”

Immigration that supports his party politics. Same as Orban.

Soldiers for more war in Libya. They won’t have a say, it’ll be mandatory.

I hope there’s a detailed investigation that gets to the very top of this malicious spying apparatus. We know who it’ll lead to.

Can I be anti-everyone involved?

I feel like this was an ELI5 moment.

She has two prior felony drug convictions. She thought those were expunged but they weren’t. So when she indicated otherwise on her paperwork, that triggered an arrest. This probably would have happened under the Biden administration too, but it wouldn’t have made the news.

Can someone clarify, which rights? To use this toilet instead of that toilet?

I think it is word games. What constitutes “Talking about tariffs?” Each side wants the other to appear to be the one that comes to the table first.

Edit: And I was right. Today’s headline: China exempts some goods from US tariffs to limit trade war pain.

Do these real men include all the pedophile priests

No.

Doctors who help the less fortunate should be admired but there was a local pediatrician that was arrested for sex crimes against children. Don’t emulate him.

That’s not hard to understand.

Catholics got a lot of predatory priests for a time because it was one of the few professions where you could explaine away why you weren’t interested in adult women. Most abuse was by homosexual men who had an itch for boys. If you look at their share of the population, these men were clearly the primary problem.

They recruited others like them into seminaries and good men were driven away by their behavior.

It took Pope Benedict XVI evicting them from the seminaries to reach an inflection point. But now any pervert can be rather openly perverted and, if they want boys, they’ll be more successful as a teacher, coach, or scout leader.

My local public school has had about a dozen arrests of these men in the past ten years. More are hidden in their ranks because everyone is looking at the priest and nobody is looking at the teachers. The problem didn’t go away, it just adapted to other professions.

The solution to false masculinity is to replace it with real masculinity. Men who speak well of women, who practice custody of the eyes, who willfully suffer for the good of others, and who do hard things. We used to promote examples of such men but that time seems to have passed.

By your source, they resisted 12 years (mostly due to western aid) and then gave-up.

“By the early 1950s, the Soviet forces had eradicated most of the Forest Brother resistance. Intelligence gathered by the Soviet spies in the West and MGB infiltrators within the resistance movement, in combination with large-scale Soviet operations in 1952, managed to end the campaigns against them. Many of the remaining Forest Brothers laid down their weapons when offered an amnesty by the Soviet authorities…”
