You’re right. There’s zero Jewish representation in the Arab world while Arabs make up about 20% of the Israeli population (and hold positions of power within the country). Israel is a tolerant society while saud, Qatar, etc. are largely intolerant of Jewish existence (they genocided their own Jewish populations).
Ok but beyond the existence of “propaganda”, what are you fighting for in this case by towing this line? What message is the “propaganda” trying to convey that you disagree with?
A well-funded group of anti-Trump conservatives has sent its donors a remarkably candid memo that reveals how resilient former President Donald J. Trump has been against millions of dollars of negative ads the group deployed against him in two early-voting states....
There’s clear psychological differences between those who label themselves “conservative” and those that don’t. And one of the clear differences is the inherent tribalism among conservatives.
Army Gen. Mark Milley pushed back on claims from Republicans that the military is “woke” and as a result not prepared to take on modern threats, saying he’s “not even sure what that word truly means.”...
The right doesn’t use language genuinely, so personally I don’t really care to consider their usages. The actual definition of words doesn’t matter to conservatives, it’s not how their brains work. That’s why it’s so easy for them to form a big tent party, they just need to say meaningless feel good phrases like “law and order”, “1776”, or “make America great again” to attract voters. That’s also why when they get power, they dissolve into infighting and can’t govern at all, because it turns out those phrases mean different things to all of them.
Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday laid out his ideas to shut down the FBI and fire more than 1 million federal workers, lining up with increasingly sweeping conservative proposals targeting the federal government and particularly law enforcement....
You’re sort of right but painfully wrong on so many things. The US government doesn’t mint its own currency, it borrows from the Federal reserve. Congress spends money into existence (by borrowing from the Fed), but then we pay back the Fed via taxes.
Can you elaborate on the role of the military in protecting against natural disasters? It’s not clear to me how this is already part of their function.
Most metal parts testing is destructive. I.e., once you test the parts, they are destroyed and you can’t use them anymore. That’s why the trust I certificates is so important. They certify that metal from the same batch passed those tests. That’s why it’s a huge safety risk if the certs are fake, there’s no guarantee that the metal can meet the requirements, and no way to test without breaking the parts.

Parents have the option of homeschooling their kids. That’s them exercising their authority. But public school curriculum should be decided by an apolitical body that follows evidence based practices. Don’t like it as a parent? Then homeschool.
Sure…and if you were the 18 wheeler, you would give the proper stopping distance to the car in front of you, but it would be up to the person behind you to make sure they give you the same birth from behind. If they are on your (the 18 wheelers) ass, they would be causing traffic.
This isn’t meant to be a license to speed up it someone is riding your ass, it’s a rule that if EVERYONE followed, it would dramatically cut traffic jams.
