I'm no physicist... But is there ANY chance that when a certain someone finally exits this mortal coil, the collective sigh of relief that follows could alter Earth's rotation just enough to offset the worst effects of climate change?

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Here it is. The first case that will likely test the legality of all the boat strikes.
“Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight ‘would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,’”🚨

Sure looks like our government is waging war on America, now starving millions as a tool in that war, all looking for justification to escalate further and faster.
EXPOSED: ICE agents grabbed a father by the neck in Fitchburg, Massachusetts — sending him into a violent seizure while his arms locked around his toddler.
“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of his hands!”
Agents then handcuffed him before putting him in an ambulance.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

A US president is starving 40 million in violation of a court order. A judge instructed how snap could be fully funded.
The regime refused and said it could take weeks or months to recalculate the partial funding.
In short, they're going to ignore the court and appeal while people starve.

I believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal: making sure he and his ilk never have to give up power.
