Hmmmm....what happened after World War 2 that destablized the entire region including Lebanon? I wonder.... Meanwhile from a more balanced account of how the Lebanese civil war started... https://www.britannica.com/event/Lebanese-Civil-War Background The causes of the war were multifaceted and deeply rooted but can be generalized as a growing crisis of insecurity. After he played a key role as commander of the army in resolving the crisis of a 1958 rebellion, the newly elected president Fuad Chehab made a valiant attempt to address the disproportionate development of the country and to centralize the state’s security apparatus. By the late 1960s, however, the development program he initiated proved politically unsatisfactory and had become a destabilizing force. The strengthened security apparatus, meanwhile, gained a reputation for suppression and corruption. The situation grew more precarious as the government negotiated the presence and operation of PLO guerrillas inside Lebanon’s Palestinian refugee camps, which had attracted Israeli raids on Lebanon, most notably on the airport in Beirut in 1968. As the state proved increasingly unable to maintain a monopoly of force, patronage networks, both existing and new, began arming and organizing their own security.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TheTexan again.

So far there haven't even been any accusations of Haitians eating humans in America. Zero dividing by anything is still zero. But that's the funny thing about racism. It requires people to look at other people in terms of a group identity while allowing their own group the benefit of being individuals. Looking "per capita" the Haitians you're concerned about are less likely to be on drugs and more likely to show up to work on time than the white people around them "per capita." The white MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters in Springfiled Ohio were complaining that the Haitians had more welfare on their EBT cards than they did. I don't think refugees should be given welfare. But considering that they got it, this is what most likely happened. One person or more people in the household were getting EBT while others were working factory jobs. Since they didn't need the EBT and it rolls over each month that's how they were able to stack up $3,000. Trump was correct that people who were upset about him not paying taxes should change the law rather than bitching about him for taking advantage of it. Same with the migrants who stack up EBT. Maybe EBT payments shouldn't roll over for anybody. Certainly it shouldn't be given to migrants. But these white MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters could get off drugs and go get a job and get to work on time. That's what you would say if they were black and complaining about not getting enough welfare. And even people arguing against the Haitians haven't brought forward evidence that they aren't being paid above minimum wage. Example: https://www.newsweek.com/springfield-emblematic-americas-immigration-death-spiral-opinion-1953366 But today, a new threat is endangering the livelihood of Springfield's citizens: Employers are actively displacing the domestic workforce by hiring newly-arrived immigrants from Haiti. All this at a time when 7 million American men between the ages of 25 and 55 are unemployed, and almost three quarters of the U.S.'s employment growth has come from immigrants since 2019. And not everyone is embarrassed to admit it. "I wish I had 30 more

Thank God the cats are safe.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8x8vw4gwpo Georgia court dismisses two more charges against Trump A court in Georgia has dismissed two of the 10 criminal charges against Donald Trump and one other charge against his allies for alleged attempts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled on Thursday that the southern state did not have the authority to bring the specific charges related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court. Judge McAfee allowed the rest of the case to move forward, including eight charges against Trump, out of the original 13.

Looks like Trump is about to win again.

Remember this? Not too long after that debate, Kamala dropped out because her support, especially among black people, had cratered. Obama putting his support behind Biden helped Biden make it through the primary and that carried on into the general election. But people have not forgotten. There are a lot of left wing black people who can't stand Kamala. They don't like her stance on the Ukraine and Gaza wars. They don't like her wishy washy stance on the things they want like medicare for all. (I know that's not popular here. I'm explaining what others are saying). They see her as a war hawk and as an overzealous prosecutor. Some are upset about Biden / Harris prosecuting black people over going to the U.N. to talk about police brutality. (Very odd considering that the BLM hype train is part of what took Biden into the Whitehouse). And nobody thinks she's doing a good job on the border. The smartest thing that Governors Abbott and Desantis did was bus migrants to Democratic cities like Chicago and New York. Black people are seeing recent migrants taking resources that they feel should have gone to the community. For example a high school that had been closed was renovated at a cost of 1.5 million dollars to be used to house migrants. Some of these problems were surfacing back when Biden was the de facto nominee, but swapping horses with Kamala hasn't worked when her hooves are just as lame. See:

He can speak for himself. I for one find this ad to be total bullshyt because you have some non manly men running around talking about what "real men" are supposed to be doing. I would say they should got screw themselves but that would be redundant.

So some of them aren't rich but could take advantage of ending double taxation.

Hopefully he'll run in 2028. I keep seeing ads from Rand in my YouTube feed on everything from prosecuting Fauci to cutting spending.

There are Americans who aren't rich who are making a better life for themselves overseas.

I think Anti Federalist's point is that a man who thinks real men can have periods isn't a real man by definition. I tend to agree with that. I don't expect Sean Strickland will appear in a Kamala Harris commercial anytime soon.

Isn't this the same guy that covered the accademic fraud at Harvard?

Free money comes at a huge price.

I take it you've never heard of the "passport bros" movement? These men aren't wealthy, but their 70K a year remote IT job goes a long way in the Phillipines.

Well at least you're honest, unlike dannno.

LOL. More proof that you are the one lacking facts, logic and intelligence. I'm well aware that the were infiltrators on January 6th. Guess what? There were also infiltrators in the BLM protests! That didn't change the fact that there were regular people who were peaceful and violent in both protests. Another F for you. You keep bringing up irrelevant facts that don't dispute the points being made and think you've done something. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/14/fbi-abuse-of-power-alleged-informant-denver-blm-protests Fears of renewed FBI abuse of power after informant infiltrated BLM protests This article is more than 1 year old ‘Outraged’ senator Ron Wyden urges agency to explain tactics from 2020 protests reminiscent of rogue behaviour from decades past Ed Pilkington in New York

God help humanity!

AI will eventually take over all the input on the web. Why do a search and read countless pages on a topic when the answer is a keystroke away? So anyone with a how to website that thinks they will be relevant won't be. I am sure it is just a matter of time and AI how to video's will dominate. We are doomed.

Maybe they are figuring out that illegal immigrants have more rights, privileges, and entitlements than they do.

How can a party that cannot define woman appeal to real men?

I have. You are the one missing logic when it comes to that. :rolleyes: You wouldn't last 5 minutes in his class. And I've yet to see you see the obvious parallel between January 6th and the BLM protests. So I think you'd get an F on that front too. This professor doesn't try to pretend that January 6th wasn't violent. He points out that there were violent and people protestors in both groups. None of your Q anan BS.

Wow! A black woman Obama delegate from 2008 and 2012 rips Obama a new one for singling out black men for not supporting Kamala Harris!

^This. Jesse Jackson doesn't sound so crazy in 2024.
