After reading that thread currently on the main page about Republican Christians denouncing the Hindi far right wing MAGA candidate for governor of Ohio, I thought this was important to post. A bit of sanity in the insane asylum known as America. Please take the time to actually listen to all that Hitchens has to say before commenting. You will find that you agree with him on most points even if you detest him personally. Chris Hitchens was far smarter and more articulate than any of you will ever be. (Except Boaz who is obviously far smart than all of us combined.) Hitchens provides a brilliant REALITY based view on God as worshipped throughout the entire world, not just the USA. I encourage you to listen. And try to think critically. Not the fairy tale of thinking "spiritually".
Vladimir Putin has said Donald Trump is "too good" for the Nobel Peace Prize, which he believes has "lost credibility". The Russian President hit out at the Nobel committee, which snubbed the US President of the award. The Norwegian body gave its peace prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Mara Corina Machado on Friday, who has openly campaigned for the accolade. Mr Putin defended his US counterpart, saying the Nobel committee's "credibility has largely been lost".
Yeah, the full-length release of Hocus-Pocus. Complete with yodeling.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee has given this year's award to Maria Corina Machado, who has fought for democratic rights in Venezuela. After learning of the award, she thanked her people and US President Donald Trump for supporting the cause.

The Connecticut Sun are facing roadblock after roadblock this year. After a rough season, the organization is now facing a potential relocation, one that state officials are opposing and even going as far as writing proposals to purchase the team themselves. Although this seems like a solution, some residents of Connecticut think otherwise.
President Trump announced Friday he will raise tariffs on China in response to a move from Beijing to tighten its control over certain critical minerals and rare earth elements. Trump announced on Truth Social that he would impose a tariff of 100 percent on Chinese goods beginning Nov. 1 or sooner. Those tariffs will supersede existing duties already in place on Chinese goods. The president said his administration would also place export controls "on any and all critical software." "It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History," Trump posted.

This is Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.
resident Donald Trumps administration announced Friday afternoon that the long-threatened reduction-in-force notices to furloughed federal workers, in response to the government shutdown, have started. "The RIFs have begun," White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought posted on X. An OMB spokesperson also confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the notices have started and claimed they "are substantial."
President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to slap a "massive increase of Tariffs" on Chinese products imported into the United States to "financially counter" new export controls that China imposed on rare earths from that country. Trump also threatened in a social media post to cancel his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping because of the dispute. Stock markets dropped after Trump's bellicose Truth Social post about China, in which he said that "there is no way that" country "should be allowed to hold the World captive'" with its rare earth policy.
In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for DHS, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room. Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him. The woman, a fellow Dummkopf Trumpf appointee, initially protested the room arrangement. But, not wanting to cause more of a scene around other colleagues, she relented. So the two, who knew each other previously as friends, went to the room and slept in separate beds. Ingrassia's attorney said no last-minute changes were made to the hotel reservations. What's not disputed is that the two ended up sharing a room on the business trip, and that it resulted in an official investigation. Read more
Two years on from Hamas's massacre and with Gaza lying in ruins, the West still refuses to look the real problem in the eye. The obstacle to lasting peace between Israel and Gaza is not a few masked gunmen, but a widespread conviction in the West Bank and Gaza (and on uni campuses and on London's streets) that Israel itself is a mistake to be undone. Until that idea dies, no ceasefire, no summit and no "two-state solution" will hold. Read more
Thousands of US-bound packages shipped by UPS are trapped at hubs across the country, unable to clear the maze of new customs requirements imposed by the Trumpf junta. As packages flagged for customs issues pile up in UPS warehouses, the company began "disposing of" shipments. Frustrated UPS customers have been waiting for weeks unable to make sense of conflicting tracking updates from the world's largest courier. Shipments of tea, telescopes, luxury glassware, musical instruments, items worth tens of thousands of dollars, are all in limbo or perhaps gone. A Boston man shipped a package from Japan via UPS on 12 Sep, including Japanese language books, a pillow and a backpack. After it sat in Louisville for nearly two weeks, he received a tracking update on 26 Sep: "We're sorry, your package did not clear customs and has been removed from the UPS network. Per customs guidelines, it has been destroyed. Please contact the sender for more information." Read more
