Which is exactly where the USA is "up the creek". Apparently "winning", but without a paddle. Trump's hoping the Mullahs will surrender, deliver the goods and vindaloo his porkpicacity.. Without an invasion. Well before November.

Buying back stock during a run on a fund demonstrates the staying power and trustworthiness inherent in the investment. A buyback screams out, "We should never have taken this great ennerprise public! Thanks suckers, now there's more for us! "

Some courts require a legal political entity to present a case to the court before the court will take investigatory action. Not that that is in the motion. It might be someday.

Dublin Inquirer@dublininquirer.com

Dublin city councillors backed a motion condeming the US/Israel attack on Iran, despite chief executive's legal concerns. At their monthly meeting Monday, they also, separately, supported a motion opposing the government’s plans to abolish the Triple Lock.

While presenting Mr. Trump as a felon before a court might not be feasible, charging its 'punchy' little pal WILL draw charges of "antisemitism" and "Jew hate". That is history.

45 days ... or lose it? An automated application/evaluation system will get those cheques into the mail. Once the software is in place.

It's supposed to make the military more intelligent? AI works best with lowest common denominators. The stupid will simply be more convinced they're right. They'll have evidence, to back them up.

Commentary: If the Trump administration succeeds in giving the military unconstrained use of AI, the interventionism we’ve seen to date might look quaint compared with what is coming.

Being forced to use a toilet? Or being permitted to use a toilet assigned to the opposite gendered 'others'. Most people would agree that toilets should not be 'gender specific' but designated for use by a single adult of whatever gender - to ensure privacy.

Why not just send weapons? We know they're Canadians who'll get them. Those Canadians are already deployed!🤪

TORONTO – More Canadians leaving the Middle East are expected to arrive in Toronto’s Pearson Airport this morning as the war in Iran reaches the one-week mark.

Who suffers? The residents? 'For profit' elder care needs far better regulation. The COVID epidemic underlined that. But the premier's 'pals' are involved.

Women would have been the ones 'effecting cost savings' by being there to look after the house and the kids. Big savings in travel, meal planning, paid housekeeping and child care .... or not. Depending on 'household' income and overall expenses.

Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com

Years after the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase of people working from home, public and private sector organizations are having more workers return to the office — but experts say the switch back is disproportionately negative for women.

Well, yeah. Sweden to-day impounded a ship full of "grain" heading for Russia. That's something akin to "shipping coal to Newcastle" used to be. Russia is the world's 4th largest producer. Maybe the grain was quinoa or something exotic. EUkraine immediately claimed it was 'stolen'.

Most women don't die of 'pregnancy'. There are underlying conditions that can be exacerbated by pregnancy, which, if left untreated, can and do kill women. But that's not the part of 'women's heath' that is at issue here. Neither is not becoming pregnant.

Iraq even more 'biblical' - Abraham came home. Afghanistan was purely political. Libya was 'for fun'. Like Syria. As the good book says, "Smite the Amalekites. Smite them hip and thigh", eh? Like IDF snipers do.

A young couple with a 10-month-old child are facing eviction from their dilapidated Crown Heights apartment owned by Pinnacle Group—the corporate slumlord that Mayor Mamdani promised to hold accountable on his first day in office.

The National Writers Union, which Ms Mlotek helped organize, was one of the few western media organizations to take a strong stand on the silencing of some western journalists, and the deaths of hundreds of others, in the Zionist onslaught against Gaza. That took real courage.

You can't say America wasn't more than ready to go 'mano a mano' with the mullahs, for the freedom of all Uranians. And the safety of gallant little Israel? The political Americans were.

Don't tax income, or wealth. Tax money that moves, every time it moves ... in and out... for any reason. Untaxed money, being used, is the real problem. Tax it like bank fees. No more income tax filing, sales or VAT taxes. 7% taken at source, should pay for everything.

The Economist@economist.com

“A tax system that treats its richest citizens like the Second Estate of yore is not just bad for the public purse,” argues Ray Madoff. “It is bad for democracy”

No more income tax filings -no more sales, VAT or 'harmonized taxes'. Revenue agencies can concentrate on tariffs, and real tax crime: avoidance, fraud , money laundering, trafficking of all kinds.

200% manditory penalty on amounts involved. 7% premium on money leaving the country. All money moving, even government spending. Wealth won't be taxed, until it gets used.

Rahm blamed the genocide on who? Not Israel and he didn't mention anybody else. So he'd call that 'being fair'. Fair like Reinhard Heydrich who could rhyme off atrocity stories too. He didn't think he was doing much wrong - just solving a problem - finally. Israelis literally quote him.

Vox@vox.com

“The amount of Palestinian deaths was not necessary for Israel's security or reestablishing deterrence.” Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel talked to Vox’s Astead Herndon about whether he considers Israel’s actions in Palestine to be genocide.

Apparently Beirut is the whipping post for Hezbolleh. Israel has been trying, for almost 30 years, to have Lebanon 'change their regime'. Unsuccessfully. They have repeatedly destroyed 'Hezbolleh areas' of Lebanon only to see them rebuilt. Israel builds NOTHING outside Israel.

Doesn't Winnipeg have mental heath support services. Police aren't equipped to deal positively with mental issues or emotionally critical situations. There should be organizations able to assist with this - within the constraints of public safety.

Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com

A mental health clinician will be added at Winnipeg’s 911 call centre to divert some calls to agencies other than police.
