On the basis of Mr Navarro's analysis, Americans who secured a job during the Biden years will be worried that ICE will assume that they're "illegals".

Much has been said of how members of Trump's administration are inspired by Machiavelli's "Il Principe".
If they wanted Ms Maxwell to disclose what she knows, they'd put her back in a higher-security prison & hold out the prospect of returning to more open conditions as clemency.
Let's see.

1. Trafficking children for sexual exploitation.
2. Ensuring the truth never emerges.
Both are strong reasons for withholding clemency (beyond low-security prison) for the powerful potential "victims" of the truth.
There's a conflict of interests regarding those in control of the #EpsteinFiles.

Exodus 5:22 {Then Moses went back to YHWH & protested, “Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people, Lord? Why did you send me?}
Moses' PBUH question is relevant not just for Jews. As in the Qur’an
29:2 {Do people think that the will be left, having said "We believe," & not be tested?}

Within HMPPS, prisoners/detainees will start off on so-called 'standard' regime & can move from there to either 'enhanced' or 'basic' depending on their behaviour or - to allow for subjectivity in the assessment thereof - how it is perceived/reported by staff.

Dear George,
Why are you so anxious about maximising the chances of success of a political party that bears the same name as a movement you & many others have loved?
There's more than one fish in the sea.

'On one occasion, Devlin was issued a “negative” disciplinary warning by prison guards for asking if he could have a shower.'
So, to explain, a detainee/prisoner on 6-officer unlock may be offered a shower every 2-3 days. Using e.g. in-cell emergency bell to ask to shower can lead to negative IEP.

It seemed to me at school - or shortly thereafter - that the Lord of the Flies wasn't about planewrecked boys reverting to the state of "savages", which is what I recall the teacher suggested. Rather it told of their attempts to emulate the adult role models they knew, positive & negative.
I shrug.

Dear Christopher,
What exactly is "the religious right"? It sounds to me like "Christian nationalist", a contradiction in terms.
I know it might sound periphrastic, but wouldn't "the right that identifies as religious" or "a nationalist who identifies as Christian" be more accurate, if a tad woke?

My late father's was adamant that Disraeli, UK prime minister in the 1860s & 1870s, rejected the notion that his country had a moral compass, insisting instead that it had interests, not principles.
I've never found that quotation. However, if accurate, it would apply now to the EU, the USA, etc.

Should the "Blood bowl scripture" that is not known to have existed until the 13th century CE be seen as reflecting:
A. the Buddha's original teaching; or
B. contemporary Buddhist culture?
Who has extended that demonisation of menstrual & childbirth blood to "reproductive female bodies in general"?

Having worked for many years with grooming sex offenders in a high-security environment, I am disposed to accept Wasserman's account for two reasons:
1. Manipulation is one thing such criminals excel in;
2. Hope in the sincerity of a criminal's avowed repentance may be naïve but is human, not a sin.

A few questions:
1. What does Yemeni law say is the minimum age of marriage?
2. Is marriage legally the same as sex trafficking?
3. Is Yemen a stable country or one in a state of conflict?
4. Does "stuff happen"* in wartime?
5. Why are you arguing in favour of a convicted pædophile?
