men will give directions like “head west on 5th then south on maple” like i’m a pioneer woman with a compass. i needed you to say “turn left at the Starbucks then right at the Taco Bell.”
Ever reached for your phone to check the time and then after scrolling for twenty minutes put it down only to realize that you didn’t even check the time?
Britain doesn’t officially recognise polygamous marriages.
But it will happily pay for them.
This man has 3 wives and 11 children.
No job.
The wives live as one “family” socially and religiously, yet legally the additional wives are treated as single mothers for benefits purposes.
And the result is multiple housing claims, child benefit for every child, and universal credit top ups.
The more wives and kids, the bigger the payout.
Meanwhile the British taxpayer gets the bill.
This is a good example of welfare arbitrage.
The state refuses to recognise the marriage on paper, then subsidises the exact same arrangement with public money.
Incentives matter, and the system rewards having as many wives and children as possible, as long as you don’t work.
1 man. 3 wives. 11 kids. 0 contribution.
Guess who’s paying?
Yeah I’m sure it was an entirely arbitrary decision by the drug store chains to put everything behind plastic barricades in cities and only in cities, they just did it for shits and giggles
Sir, the Democratic Party itself is probably behind this. Sure, the people of CA want to know why you lose so much of our tax dollars, but I'm guessing you're quite the liability at this point to the Dem party, and they're wanting you out of the way so they can push someone else forth as the next presidential candidate.
Unless I am missing something...
This seems unreasonable from the nurses.
The hospital brought in a bunch of people from other states and trained them to take care of your patients because you were on strike.
Just because you decided it is over doesn't mean the hospital is required to let you march on in if they hired people for the week.
Isn't the whole point of being a journo that you un-dupe things? Your entire job is to be skeptical and investigate stuff, to catch people who are duping other people.
Stop sucking at your job!
This is horrific. Autistic boy who needs a care worker to go everywhere with him,failed capacity tests and the @NHS STILL removed his genitals. People should be in prison.
This video of a rescue last night on the Brooklyn Bridge will take your breath away.
High above the East River, NYPD ESU officers climbed onto the Brooklyn Bridge to reach a woman in crisis who was threatening to jump.
For nearly an hour, they stayed with her, spoke with her, and waited for the moment they could safely pull her back from the edge.
The care, courage, and compassion these officers showed was just extraordinary. May God bless them.
It is not possible to overstate how much of a grifter and a fraud Ro Khanna is.
Here's Khanna last month at a rally for Graham Platner. This is after the pro-rape reddit posts, the sexting scandal and after numerous abuse allegations had already come out.
After a year of nonstop talk about victims and survivors of abuse, Khanna (knowing all about Platner's abusive history) ends up at a rally giving him his full endorsement.
Khanna actually said that even though Platner had some bad years, he rejects misogyny now.
After falsely accusing innocent people of being co-conspirators of Epstein, Khanna urged those hurt by Graham Platner to forgive and show grace towards him.
This is sociopathic stuff from Khanna. He's a really bad guy.
NEW: Rep Pramila Jayapal (D-Gaza) is supporting anti-American Jew hater Melat Kiros for Congress.
Kiros refused to call the Boulder firebombing antisemitic, even though Mohamed Sabry Soliman planned the attack for a year & waited until the group assembled before attacking them with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower. He shouted political slogans during the attack, including "Free Palestine" and statements directed at "Zionists." After his arrest, Soliman admitted his motive. According to the FBI affidavit, he told investigators that he wanted to kill "all Zionist people." He targeted the group because he believed they were Zionists; he had no regrets, and he said he would do it again if given the opportunity.
Kiros told Denver's 9News: "I don't know what his intentions were."
Kiros said the murders, kidnappings, and rapes of October 7 were an "inevitable consequence" of Israeli policies towards Palestinians during a livestream with known antisemite and anti-American activist Hasan Piker.
Kiros falsely called Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide,
supports a complete US arms embargo on Israel, falsely described Israel as an apartheid state, and claimed Israel functions as an ethnocracy
A glimpse into small-town law enforcement: The chief of police showed up today and told us we have to remove the vines climbing up the telephone pole in the corner of our front yard. He offered to come back with his new gloves and help when he gets off work. Nobody got shot.
So there’s video, DNA, and a confession that implicate Tyler Robinson. This isn’t a huge mystery, and anyone who is talking about Israel or Egyptian planes should feel very embarrassed right now.
The connective tissue running through both the Biden and Platner debacles is the press. Not because reporters conspired in a room, but because they picked a side and then behaved accordingly — dismissing, excusing, and waving away every alarm the right raised until the alarm became a fire no one could deny. Here is the irony the media has not absorbed: that protection is not a gift to the Democratic Party. It is a trap. A friendly press that suppresses a candidate’s weaknesses does not make him stronger. It preserves him, unvetted, until the general election — when the shield disappears and the voters who were never told the truth meet all of it at once. Biden was protected right up to the debate stage, and the protection is precisely what left his party no time to recover. Platner was protected right up until he wasn’t.
