@DoubleTree why does it appear to be impossible to get a simple refund. Very poor service in this regard from DoubleTree in Lincoln.

Lots of Boomers seem to be remembering the summer of 1976 with rose tinted spectacles, & think that they ‘just got in with it’

Let’s have a look at what the newspapers of the day had to say in 1976….

One of most well spoken takes on Israel today. Give it a watch and see for yourself why Israel has never been the good guys.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

I told my therapist,

“I keep falling for people who never really choose me back.”

She didn't give me comfort.
Hearing her, my whole body went still.

Here's what she just replied:

The Epstein files expose a corrupt system that functions in the interests of criminal elites. New Labour was and is a core part of this system. Jeremy Corbyn stood against it. No wonder Mandelson worked to destroy him. I write for Middle East Eye:

Sounds like you have no idea what Zionism is, Nick. Here's a brief history, which will help you understand why there is so much hostility to Zionism.

Zionism was an ideology that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 97%+ non-Jewish.

That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish.

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed.

That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. Jews only! https://t.co/oXfyJsXdja

That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmTfe

That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity (https://t.co/s2RBvsdjMw p.416).

That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUk5lc

That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. They had the wrong DNA. https://t.co/16FarJ83q4

The Zionist movement set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of ninety-five percent Palestinian Arabs.

What could possibly go wrong?

That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on Jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians.

That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.

Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Mark Carney, "On Artic sovereignty we stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark"

"When we negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what's offered"

"We compete with each other to be the most accommodating"

"this is not sovereignty, it's the performance of sovereignty which accepting subordination"

"We are in the midst of a rupture"

"Great powers have begun using economic economic integration as weapons"

"The architecture of collective problem solving are under threat: WTO, UN, COP"

"The old order is not coming back, nostalgia is not a strategy"

For others they may benefit from a more outside takeaway. Why is that?

This could be the best video you've ever watched on how to shallow the golf club the correctly!

Most golfers shallow the club wrong. They tilt their upper body back, the club gets stuck behind them & they hit it fat or suffer from massive blocks & hooks
