Hey, Megyn Kelly and Batya Ungar-Sargon, the lowest age of consent in any state in the US is 16. Sex with a 15 year old isn't "barely legal," it's statutory rape.
And regardless of the laws, adults having sex with adolescents is predatory. Stop splitting hairs to protect the predators you like.

The question reveals the racist approach to Palestinians.
The question is not whether Hussein al-Sheikh can lead the PA without public support. It is why anyone wants him to do so and why the West uniquely supports forbidding Palestinians choice of their own leaders.

Mainstream media prattles on, parroting the fiction that the "ceasefire" is going just fine. Well, it is for #Israel, not so much for #Gaza, the #WestBank, or #Lebanon. But most people are not hearing about things like this:

#Israel has killed at least 245 #Palestinians since the so called "ceasefire" began. And, as we see here, they've destroyed more than 1500 buildings in #Gaza in that time. Palestinians cease, Israel fires, and Trump says it's working just fine. Cuz to him, it is.

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire
Entire neighbourhoods controlled by Israel have been levelled in less than a month, the images show.

Shouldn't surprise anyone that someone who would passionately support starving babies to death just because they're #Palestinian would also do all he can to take health care away from American babies.

Whether they're sincere in support or not, racists who seem to support #Palestine are a danger to the Palestinian solidarity cause. Supporting Palestine from a right-wing perspective may be possible. Supporting it from a racist one threatens to undermine the movement.

This is very good news, but I don't think this fight is over. Davis' challenge to Obergefell v Hodges was weak. The fact that SCOTUS wouldn't consider it leaves the door wide open for a stronger challenge. But at least for this day, common decency survives.

Below are the eight #Democrats who voted to raise health care costs for millions to make it unaffordable. These eight cowardly traitors caved into Republican bullying and sadism and betrayed their constituents. Every one should be primaried.

Anyone who tells you that Candace Owens is not antisemitic in the worst way is either supremely ignorant or lying.
There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

The double standard exposes the anti #Palestinian racism at the heart of not only #Israel, but the US and Europe as well.
Palestinians are simply not seen as fully human in western capitals and media. That's why you just don't hear about so many #Israeli crimes.

As #Trump’s administration struggles to find ways to implement its fatally flawed “20-Point Plan” for #Gaza, it has taken the surprising step of trying to obtain the approval of the United Nations Security Council. Here's why that's unlikely to work.

Jewish NYers came out in droves for Mamdani: staff, volunteers, voters. Greenblatt defends Nazis.
