    Netanyahu Slams U.S. Student Protests: ‘Reminiscent Of What Happened In German Universities In The 1930s’

    Its all internal politics. He's trying to demonize American resistance to his own leadership of this war, hoping he can innoculate Israelis with a conscience before they gain access to social media accounts of worldwide condemnation. Its part of his effort to exploit this division to turn...

    Democrats who talk against the genocide - but then vote to fund it

    This one would represent my views most closely. "“While I have deep concerns about the bill that includes additional security assistance to Israel, the funding in this bill is urgently needed to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” said Schakowsky. "I am concerned by the...

    Is Trump a psychopath?

    Well I am 100% sure he 's a pretty bad guy and I would not want Trump to be around my kids, and that is a sort of minimum standard for character to me. To extrapolate further, if you can't trust him to watch your baby or babysit your little girl, even take care of your spanial for a few days...

    Nursing homes must meet minimum federal staffing levels under Biden rule

    Yes and that can give them a foot-hold in the door for 6 months or a year etc. But you still can have discharge hospital stays and then initial discharges to rehab centers that last so long that nursing facilities can legal discharge ( Its months and its very rare) and then there are overly...

    Senate passes long-awaited aid for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and TikTok bill

    I am so glad I did not have to cast a vote on that big package. I preferred the separate measures not to be bundled. But that is what got the 79 yeahs. Senators will not have justify their actual votes on the specific aide packages.

    Senate GOP demanded a border bill w/foreign aid, sank the bill & are now voting for foreign aid w/out a border bill

    That presupposes that they actually care about border security. They never did. We shall see if the gamble pays off with a Trump victory. They will never see anything like that what was in that bill pass and get signed, regardless of which President wins the office. That deal is soooo off...

    Have you heard about the "Libertarian Party" ?

    The problem with libertarians, is that liberty and freedom is literally the ONLY attributes they value. There are no other values that merit public discourse or measure or plan.

    Nursing homes must meet minimum federal staffing levels under Biden rule

    Do not tell me what I am 'concerned about' because you do not know me. I am NOT AGAINST increasing those staffing requirements. I am for that. Maybe I was not clear enough I am talking about medicaid reimbursement which means the long term care wing of your 'nursing home' and only those...

    Nursing homes must meet minimum federal staffing levels under Biden rule

    Thanks for the correction. I read it too fast. That makes much much more sense. That's an idea I can get behind, but I am curious how they define 'Administration overhead' as opposed to direct care because that will be very very different labor statistic depending on the level of care provided !

    Nursing homes must meet minimum federal staffing levels under Biden rule

    I am in favor of increasing the staffing ratio but you cannot just 'require more staffing' if the facilities already cannot attract and pay that staffing a living competitive wage. These are not pleasant jobs. They are not 'career' jobs that your mom and dad are pushing and prodding you...

    Have you heard about the "Libertarian Party" ?

    They are not 'in between' anyone. They are on the fringes of the right wing.

    Who Really Originates from Israel?

    What is the total civilian death from all those attacks among Israelis since they invaded. For this purpose, lets assume each and every israeli hostage has been killed Then we can compare that figure to Gazan/Palestinian deaths from that response. That way we can see which problem is...

    Who Really Originates from Israel?

    Its not the the 'other arab states' job or responsibility to provide the humanitarian aid or take in refugees from Israels invasion and occupation, any more than Korea, South Africa or Leictenstein. . Its Israel's job. Israel's military acts disrupted the food chain. Israel's blockade...

    At 71 I had a wonderful first time experience this morning. For a second I thought I died and went to heaven.

    For those who are as ignorant as I am. " Origins[edit] In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California,[5][6] used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower.[7][8] Calling themselves the...
