Soon, however, the producers ran into obstacles. Officials from the county Beaches and Harbors Department and the California Coastal Commission told them they couldn't park their trucks overnight, light fires or drive on the sand. "We're a lifeguard show," "Baywatch" co-creator Greg Bonann remembers saying. "What do you mean we can't drive a truck on the beach?" Suddenly the show was at risk of becoming the wrong kind of symbol: this one, a victim of California's tangle of regulations. No one in power " not Newsom or L.A. Mayor Karen Bass " wanted to read the headline about "Baywatch" bailing out of Los Angeles. When elected leaders were summoned to the Fox lot to smooth things over, the show held all the leverage. "After a while, you have to sit down with the right people and say, Guys, do we want to have this show here or not?'" Bonann says. Read more
Joseph Garrett Duggar, who starred on the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting," was arrested Wednesday after he was accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl six years ago during a vacation in Florida.
After the 1993 Oslo Accords, a plan was devised for both Israel and Palestine to recognize each other and share the land between them. To make the State of Palestine viable, an elevated and secure corridor was suggested to connect the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Such a highway 20 miles in length, encased by a stainless steel fence and jointly patrolled by Israeli and Palestinian police, would have cost only a few billion dollars in the 1990s. Afterwards, Palestinians could have then provided the cheap labor for Israeli construction, farming, and industry, or remain in their own country, while Israelis would have finally enjoyed their own Jewish homeland without becoming the brutal militaristic state they have devolved into, with PTSD and suicides afflicting Israeli society.

President Donald Trump signaled a deepening rift with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by claiming "there would be no Israel" without him in a stinging rebuke at the G7 (Group of Seven) summit. Trump has displayed increasing frustration with his ally in recent weeks as the United States attempted to strike a peace deal with Iran, before an agreement was eventually reached on Sunday. Trump and Netanyahu ordered joint United States and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 with the stated aim of destroying the Islamic Republic's ability to make a nuclear weapon. Speaking alongside Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, at the summit of the world's biggest economies in vian-les-Bains, France, Trump said: "Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did."

Benjamin Netanyahu bet that his joint war alongside Donald Trump would topple Iran's clerical rulers and bolster himself ahead of elections at home, as the architect of a U.S.-Israeli alliance that would reshape the Middle East.

The Democrats' disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and Democrats (12 years) each elected two presidents, and Republicans gained control of the Senate for 13 years, the House for 17 years, governorships, 55% to 45%, and state legislatures, 59% to 41%

I have a LibreOffice document of my favorite quotes that I have gathered over the years (actually, more like decades). An excerpt from the first page follows ...
