Putting Party Above Country
“FBI leadership has been so keen on prosecuting the Democrats' opposition in recent times it's questionable if they even know what their primary purpose is anymore.” – Rep. Mike Garcia

According to a CNN poll, neither Biden nor Trump have the full support of their respective parties for a run in 2024. According to a recent CNN poll done by SSRS, a large proportion of Democrats and Republicans want their parties to find alternatives to President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the next presidential race. Few, though, have specific candidates in mind, highlighting how far away — and possibly malleable — the 2024 election is.

Lana V LynxPublished 5 days ago in The SwampMake America ?????? Again.
I am upset. I avoid the news for a reason. It gives me anxiety. Or I get mad. Or I get sad. And then I have a very very hard time shaking that feeling. I'm on anxiety regulators for a reason. So unlike the rest of America, I do NOT start my day with the morning news. I start it with coffee, my kids, more coffee, some cleaning, more coffee, some singing with the birds like Snow White, more coffee, and then... yeah. More coffee.

What I think is that if Russia had not invaded Ukraine, in all likelihood Hamas would not have launched such an attack on Israel. It was inevitable that such a serious violation of the international system based on law, at the hands of a permanent member of the UN Security Council, had cascading consequences on other areas... of the world, from the Middle East to the Balkans, to Africa. This is the game we are playing, and we have to be aware. If international law is not re-established in Ukraine, the outbreaks of conflict will continue to multiply.
World War 3 or an off-ramp
At 01:45am (ish) Tel Aviv time, the air raid sirens started to blare as Iran's drones and missiles had started to arrive and Israel's Iron Dome system had started to shoot them down. This started because Israel struck and damaged the Iranian consulate building in Syria on the 1st of April, which is the equivalent of Israel striking Iranian soil because that's what consulates and embassies are under international law. So this rocket barrage against Israel was retaliation, not necessarily an escalation because that would require some degree of surprise or lack of provocation on the part of Israel, which obviously there was.
Quaker-nomicsPublished 20 days ago in The SwampHeaven for Starmer, Hell for Sunak.
A new poll unveiled by 'MRP Mega Poll' has revealed that in the coming general election, Labour will have a 154-seat majority up on January's prediction of getting 120 seats. This will be a cause for celebration in Labour ranks. However, despite poll after poll showing Labour way out in front, Sir Keir Starmer has warned His party not to be complacent. There still might be that chance that (God forbid) the Tories can turn their fortunes around. After all, as Maggie Thatcher said, "The only poll that matters is the general election".

Lana V LynxPublished about a month ago in The SwampDid you ever come across a Female Dictator?
When I asked my students this question, they became quiet for quite a while. Then, they came up with Margaret Thatcher and Imelda Marcos. The problem is that Thatcher was not a dictator, and Marcos was a desperate attachment to the dictator, her husband Ferdinand, infamous for her collection of shoes. Take the timeframe of 1990-2024, and you do not find any relevant female dictator globally. Dictators are male! What do we take from that? Maybe we need a feminist foreign policy to tackle the problem.
