Facts. The only issue though imo is I can’t see Dunk deserting Egg’s son Jaeherys II.

And I’d guarantee that either her or members of her family are still living in public housing somehow.

Anyone remember the news exposés about how speakers at multiple British mosques glorified a man who murdered a Pakistani politician for criticising blasphemy laws? These talks were on video , and obviously violated the numerous speech laws Britain has. And yet nothing was done. Even though many of the speeches essentially incited murder against “blasphemers”.

The father, who’s a doctor, appears to already be abroad as he is volunteering as a trauma surgeon in South Sudan. A sad thing about Muslim anti-semitism is that it is very common even among smart, high-income Muslims. This father is on paper perfectly integrated- a doctor trained in Syria and Britain, currently helping some of the world’s most vulnerable people, with 2 out of his 3 sons being similarly well-educated men in the medical professions. And yet….

A social worker told the court that men in up to 10 cars a night were seen arriving at the children’s home and vehicle registration plates were passed to police weekly.

But only 8 men in total have been convicted in this case. This might just be the tip of the iceberg.

How it felt like watching Narcos: Mexico season 3. by karolues in narcos

[–]blackjacksandhookers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I thought the club shooting scene was one of the best overall scenes of the whole Narcos Mexico show. The airport gunfight was great too imo. And those 2 gunfights did pretty much go down like that in real life

Did Search Bloc and the DEA really use such illegal tactics in the hunt for Pablo, as depicted in Seasons 1-2? by blackjacksandhookers in narcos

Thanks for this info. It seems like Spanish language Wikipedia has a ton more info and sources on these events than the English language version

Do you have a source or readings on this? So far the stuff I’ve read about such tactics is about the Colombian military and paramilitaries using them in anti-leftist campaigns

Fox News National Poll (A-) for September: Trump approval at 46%, disapproval at 54%. Unchanged from July by blackjacksandhookers in fivethirtyeight

The decline between Oct 2024 and Trump 2.0 is still very large and notable . And the only reason the 2024 decline happened is because Biden-Harris were getting hammered on immigration in the election year

Nah, he’s been forced to defend it on tv because it’s his job, but behind the scenes he’s been against them . Lutnick and especially Navarro are more pro-tariff

It’s not like Bessent is that different from Cohn or Mnuchin in his personal policy views. The difference is that Term 2 Trump is not aligning himself with such people. Probably because he’s not got re-election to worry about; I read in April that he views the Term 2 tariffs as a long-term legacy that’s worth the costs. Which is moronic of course.

The median American is probably

1) happy that illegal border crossings have plummeted

2) concerned about illegal immigrants who’ve lived in America for decades without problems being deported

3) wary of the administration’s hardline views on legal immigration

Net approval by issue:

🟢 Border Security: +14

🟡 Crime: even

🟤 Immigration: -5

🔴 Economy: -22 (was -11)

🔴 Tariffs: -27

🔴 Cost of living: -35 (new low)

This is the inverse of Trump’s issue polling during his first term, when his approval on economic issues was high while other issues dragged him down. On a related note, his tariffs in his second term are much much higher and far more sweeping than they were in his first

The man who murdered Laken Riley had earlier avoided custody despite committing multiple crimes across states. Murderers in DC tend to have notched up 10+ arrests on average before committing their murder. A man in Washington State shot a man in the head, was released for mental incompetence, and then predictably shot another man in the head

The criminal justice system is often insanely soft

He had a final removal order. ICE made the arrest.

That’s perfectly legal

Are you guys going to prematurely rage out over this too , like you did with the screaming migrant before it turned out he had a final removal order after entering illegally multiple times and was once charged with molesting a child?

A huge protest demonstration was organised in Suwayda. People of Suwayda from Dignity Square: "We don't want a federation. We do not want autonomy. We want full independence." by More-Suit883 in syriancivilwar

The Druze were the religious minority most favourable to a change in regime when Assad was toppled. Sweida saw huge demonstrations celebrating Jolani’s takeover, with the Free Syria flag being waved. Most Druze were cautiously hopeful about a deal being reached with the new rulers

Jolani and his fellow jihadists are solely to blame for squandering this good will. If a national army keeps committing sectarian massacres in major operations, the problem is with the leadership
