We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
One person said this in a comment: Yeah protests can get loud, chaotic and fights do break out. Cops are there to keep a lid on it as much as possible. Bottom line this is america and protests and demonstrations are part of our freedom. Those protesting the protest should try living in Hungary or somewhere else.
TRUMP TEAM IS GREATNESS. President Donald Trump and his negotiating team are “great problem-solvers,” Russia’s sovereign wealth fund chief Kirill Dmitriev, who is in Saudi Arabia for bilateral talks with the United States, told CNN’s Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Matthew Chance on Monday. Talks between the US and Russia over the war in Ukraine are set to begin Tuesday. However, Dmitriev said he has already met with several members of the Trump team in Riyadh. “All I can say is they’re great problem-solvers. And I think President Trump is a great problem-solver,” he said. Dmitriev said that the US negotiators have not yet made direct promises with their Russian counterparts. “I think the promise is: let’s have dialogue, let’s figure out the best solution for our countries, for other countries, for the global community,” he said. He also denied that Russia primarily sought to alleviate the sanctions faced by the country and asserted that the US and Russian economies could both benefit from working together. “I think it’s very important to build bridges. I think US-Russia relations are very important for the world,” he said. More on the Russian negotiator: Dmitriev was tapped by the Kremlin to focus on restoring economic ties between the US and Russia as the two sides attempt to forge a Russia-Ukraine peace agreement, according to sources with knowledge of the appointment. Recently, Dmitriev worked closely with US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff
UNSTOPPABLE NEWS FORCE: HomeOpinionCommentary Trump moves to counter hatred of Christians and Jews Left claims it doesn't exist Hatred of Christians and Jews illustration by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times Hatred of Christians and Jews illustration by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times more > Print Commentary By Don Feder - Sunday, February 16, 2025 OPINION: President Trump believes the hand of God saved him from an assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. Now Mr. Trump is extending his hand to persecuted Christians and Jews — not in Africa or the Middle East but right here in America. At the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb. 6, the president announced a task force to combat anti-Christian bias headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, a passionate defender of First Amendment freedom of religion. “While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government and in the public square,” Mr. Trump proclaimed.

USA Today columnist Chris Brennan insisted, “There is no bias” against Christians. If he went to a circus, he’d miss the elephants. Americans United for Separation of Church and State squawked that the task force would “misuse religious freedom to justify bigotry and discrimination.” Fighting bigotry and discrimination justifies bigotry and discrimination? The group should change its name to Americans United for the Separation of Rhetoric and Reason. TIMESMYView all Trump’s record-breaking start rattles Washington, rankles rivals, but earns raves from voters Editorial Confirm Kash Patel as FBI chief Trump starting task force to combat anti-Christian actions; AG Bondi to lead it In a 2023 survey, 60% of White evangelicals said they faced a lot of discrimination. From May 2020 through November 2024, there were 366 attacks on Catholic churches in 43 states, including arson, vandalism and desecration. The Justice Department’s civil rights division prosecuted more than 50 pro-life activists involved in sidewalk counseling, while 96 violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers and pro-life offices were largely ignored. The FBI’s office in Richmond, Virginia, produced an 11-page memo that suggested a link between traditional Catholics and domestic terrorism. After the bizarre document was leaked, it was hastily withdrawn. Still, it reflected the mindset of federal law enforcement under President Biden. Comparing Mr. Trump and his predecessor, CatholicVote charges: “Our second Catholic President facilitated the persecution and prosecution of Christians who disagreed with his anti-Christian agenda, while the current president stands strong for the safety and religious freedom of Christians everywhere.” While the president moved to counter Christophobia, he also joined the fight against antisemitism. The Department of Justice announced a task force to combat antisemitism in schools and colleges, explaining, “Jewish students have faced an unprecedented barrage of discrimination,” including assault, harassment and intimidation. In testimony before Congress in 2023, the presidents of Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania equivocated on whether calls for genocide violate their codes of conduct on harassment. Claudine Gay, then president of Harvard, absurdly declared, “When speech crosses into conduct, we take action.” In other words, until the pro-Hamas mob begins setting up gas chambers on the quad, Ivy League schools will take a wait-and-see approach. Rep. Elise Stefanik, Mr. Trump’s nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, said the testimony was “pathetic and morally bankrupt.” The president has promised to revoke the visas of foreign students engaged in anti-Jewish demonstrations. Antisemitism has reached epidemic proportions. In the three months after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities in Israel, there were four times the number of attacks on Jews as in the same period the year before. Jews are 2% of the U.S. population but accounted for 68% of all religion-based hate crimes reported in 2023. I wonder whether moving against this evil constitutes a “misuse of religious freedom to justify bigotry and discrimination.” Better check with the Orwellian Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Crimes against Christians and Jews should not be viewed in isolation but as part of a far-ranging war against faith and religious values. Anti-Christian animus is driven by the awareness that committed Christians uphold biblical values, including normative sexual morality, putting them at odds with abortion on demand, transgenderism and the LGBTQ agenda. Most American Jews aren’t that religious. But those who are the most visibly Jewish — Orthodox Jews and Hasidim — have borne the brunt of antisemitic attacks driven by the left and radical Islam. Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, observes that the worst antisemites are on the left. “They are well-educated and occupy elite seats in our institutions,” Mr. Donohue said. Like Harvard and MIT? At the National Prayer Breakfast, Mr. Trump confessed: “I really believe you can’t be happy without religion, without that belief. Let’s bring religion back; let’s bring God back into our lives.” For the left, those are fighting words, which is why its response to Mr. Trump’s efforts to fight religious discrimination is borderline hysterical. • Don Feder is a columnist with The Washington Times.
BREAKING: The Mexican Senate has officially approved the entry of U.S. Special Forces to take on the cartels. For too long, these violent organizations have trafficked drugs, weapons, and human lives across our border. Now, with President Trump designating them as foreign terrorist organizations, justice is coming. This administration is committed to taking the fight to the cartels and protecting the American people. They will pay for the lives they’ve destroyed.
Violence is Violence: WASHINGTON A private WhatsApp group of Columbia University alumni and pro-Israel activists has been exposed as a hub for efforts to identify, target, and potentially deport students and faculty involved in protests in solidarity with Palestine. According to a report published by The Intercept on Saturday, members of the group, which includes more than 1,000 individuals, have actively discussed how to report pro-Palestinian protesters to law enforcement and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The group, Columbia Alumni for Israel, has frequently targeted Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students, suggesting that their protests are signs of "support for Hamas" and calling for deportations of foreign students involved, according to the screenshots from the group obtained by The Intercept. The group had already been discussing deporting Gaza protesters, but after President Donald Trump's executive order, "Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism," which paved the way for the deportation of students involved in pro-Palestine demonstrations, members circulated flyers promoting a pro-Palestine Jan. 21 walkout, the report said. One exchange, cited in the report, reveals group members strategizing how to help ICE identify students on visas by sharing photos and utilizing advanced technology to do so. Lynne Bursky-Tammam, a former assistant professor at Columbia’s Teachers College, was quoted as saying, "Identifying the Columbia student-Hamas-sympathizers who show up is key to deporting those with student visas." Victor Muslin, another alumnus, responded by urging group members to identify students who may be involved in the protests. "If there are photos of someone who needs to be identified (even with a partially obscured face), I have access to tech that may be able to help," Muslin stated, according to The Intercept report, citing screenshots from the WhatsApp group. In late January, a group member shared an article about students protesting Israel’s killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, and Bursky-Tammam responded, questioning who funded the protesters and stating, “Arresting them for hate crimes is not enough. We have to get rid of them.” The Intercept said Bursky-Tammam declined to comment on the report and Muslin did not respond to requests for comment. Anadolu was unable to independently verify the WhatsApp messages. In January, Trump issued an executive order ordering the US government to use “all available and appropriate legal tools” to combat anti-Semitism, including prosecuting and removing those accused of "unlawful anti-Semitic harassment". The measure paved the way for student-led anti-war demonstrations that have erupted on college campuses in response to Israel’s military assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 48,000 people, mostly women and children. - Targeting US citizens through other legal means Although the majority of students involved in the protests are US citizens and thus exempt from deportation, the group members discussed tactics for targeting them through other legal means, including “material support for terror organizations.” Civil rights organizations, including the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, have voiced alarm over what they see as an infringement on students' First Amendment rights. "It’s a very dangerous precedent,” said Abed Ayoub, executive director of the committee, emphasizing the broader effort to silence Palestinian and Arab voices critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza. Columbia University has faced intense criticism for its handling of protests, particularly after President Nemat "Minouche" Shafik called in the New York Police Department to disperse pro-Palestinian demonstrators on campus in April 2024. The move sparked a wave of pro-Palestinian protests at universities in New York City and nationwide, with thousands of students standing in solidarity with Columbia students and calling on their universities for total divestment from Israel. Anadolu reached out to Columbia University for comment on the report and inquired whether any students had been deported but did not receive an immediate response.
In many words this premise gets pounded hard into the internet, in graffiti and shouted from people's masked mouths: Pro-Palestine activists in the U.S. expose the brutal violence of Israeli settlers in the West Bank, backed by U.S. support. We demand an end to illegal settlements, Israel’s occupation, and the apartheid system that has oppressed Palestinians for decades.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less! For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted. In addition, we will make provision for subsidies provided by Countries in order to take Economic advantage of the United States. Likewise, provisions will be made for Nonmonetary Tariffs and Trade Barriers that some Countries charge in order to keep our product out of their domain or, if they do not even let U.S. businesses operate. We are able to accurately determine the cost of these Nonmonetary Trade Barriers. It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us. There are no Tariffs if you manufacture or build your product in the United States. For many years, the U.S. has been treated unfairly by other Countries, both friend and foe. This System will immediately bring Fairness and Prosperity back into the previously complex and unfair System of Trade. America has helped many Countries throughout the years, at great financial cost. It is now time that these Countries remember this, and treat us fairly – A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. I have instructed my Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Trade Representative (USTR) to do all work necessary to deliver RECIPROCITY to our System of Trade!

Here is the news outlet you want, here at MOSTLY. This will be mostly very essential news and here goes! Post See new posts Conversation Aslan Arzuev | Human Rights Center Ichkeria @AslanArzuev Moscow thought Trump was their chance. In reality, Trump is their sentence. Donald Trump didn’t just change U.S. foreign policy—he forced Europe into a brutal, yet inevitable choice. For decades, the U.S. ensured the West’s security while European countries lived in peace and prosperity, without investing in defense. NATO was the guarantee of their security, but who paid for that guarantee? America. Now that’s over. What Trump is doing is not weakness, but an ultimatum. America will no longer be the guardian that protects Europe for free while Europe flirts with Russia, Iran, and China. Europe got used to the U.S. carrying the burden of its security while it did business with Moscow and Tehran, built “strategic autonomy,” and lectured America on morality. Now it will have to pay—not with words, but with money, weapons, and real military power. This is not just about NATO. Trump has proposed that Europe raise military spending to 5% of GDP—that’s $1 trillion a year. This money should go towards purchasing weapons, primarily American-made. What does this mean? It means Trump isn’t leaving Europe unprotected; on the contrary, he’s forcing it to arm itself to the teeth. He demands that Europe stop being a dependent and become a true military power. Britain, Poland, the Baltic States, and the U.S. have been carrying the bulk of Ukraine’s support. Now it’s time for France, Germany, and the entire EU to stop just expressing support and actually engage in the fight. Zelensky already said: Europe needs a unified military force. This is not just an idea—it’s now a necessity. Germany has been afraid to become a military power for years. France spoke of “strategic autonomy” but did nothing. Now they will have to take a stand—either assume leadership or hand it over to Britain, Poland, and the Baltic States, who are ready to build a new European power. Putin lost before he even realized it. Russia hoped America would weaken, that Trump would pull back support for Ukraine, that the West would fall apart. Moscow hoped America was tired. But now, instead of one enemy, Russia will face a military giant assembled from all European countries. Putin wanted to weaken the West—he will get a West that is finally ready to fight. And if Europe does what Trump proposes, the Russian army will be ground to dust. Aslan Arzuev, HRCI February 15, 2025
Copilot The music industry has faced numerous allegations of corruption and unethical practices over the years. Here are a few key issues: Exploitative Contracts: Many artists, especially emerging ones, have reported being trapped in unfair contracts that heavily favor record labels. These contracts often include clauses that make it difficult for artists to earn a fair share of their revenue1. Gender Inequality: There is significant gender inequality in the industry, with women often being underrepresented in key roles such as producers and executives. This imbalance can lead to discriminatory practices and unequal opportunities2. Racial Inequality: Black artists have historically faced exploitation and unfair treatment in the industry. High-profile cases, such as those involving Megan Thee Stallion and Kanye West, have highlighted issues like unpaid royalties and lack of ownership over their music1. Toxic Culture: The industry has been criticized for enabling a toxic culture that prioritizes profit over the well-being of artists. This includes ignoring or even enabling issues like addiction and abuse3. While these issues are significant, there are ongoing efforts to address and reform these practices. Advocacy from artists, changes in industry standards, and increased public awareness are all contributing to a push for a more equitable and transparent music industry.
The house was gray and foggy within, and to wander then, so curious to see the rooms within, where expensive things were still, the wind coming through the windows, blowing the curtains, I wondered about myself here, and feeling less foolish made my way in, crossing hallways full of oil paintings, till a door appeared with a crack of light around its edges, to hesitate I did not, there was some cold upon my back, so I grabbed the door handle and shook it open to behold a grave yard of books strewn about the mothy rug. A thousand paper back writers down..
