"Getting shot in the face" yo he got shot in the ear. He's this guy from Fairly Oddparents. The guy from my woodshop class who had his finger sliced off is more of a badass, and this "getting shot in the face" talk is trying to hype up such a lame injury.

Netanyahu and many Israeli people are pro Trump, anti Biden. Liberal media cocksucking is probably the only thing that kept them in that pro Israel position in the first place.

I mean international shit has never been that important to American voters anyways, only economy treats and how woke the candidates are.

Yeah but it's kickstarter, there's no promise that they'll ever deliver on any of this even if they want to.

In the company’s zany promo video, a voiceover promises Eve will protect owners from burglars, unwanted animal guests, and any hapless passersby who fail to heed its “zero compliance, zero tolerance” warning.

The consequences for shrugging off Eve’s threats: Getting blasted with paintballs, or perhaps even teargas pellets.

This will signal to the suburban betas that you are the alpha of Cape Coral, FL.

PaintCam’s Kickstarter is set to go live on April 23. No word on release date for now...

Oh it's a scam, how much money did they raise?

€74,190 pledged of €12,000 goal

LOL what's getting developed with 12k of anything? Add a zero to the end of that and maybe you get 1/4th of what's promised here.

I thought it was Kim Jong Un with the haircut and the donk and was like "no, he wouldn't write this about Jill Biden."

Well ideally you n your buds already climbed the ladder before I, Robot type action scenario is in play.

Personally I'm more worried about tactical kamikaze drones that are brought from the war front.

Al Jazeera: Protests and arrests as anti-Syrian riots rock Turkey

CW: SA, Xenophobia, Watermelon Seller

More than 470 people have been taken into custody after crowds attacked Syrian shops and cars in central Turkey.

Riots erupted after Turkish authorities arrested a Syrian man for allegedly sexually abusing a seven-year-old Syrian girl in the central city of Kayseri.

Weird that Al Jazeera calls them protests in the title of the article then calls them riots here.

Turkish residents, infuriated by online reports of the crime, flipped over cars in Kayseri and set Syrian-run shops alight on Sunday night, demanding that Syrians be kicked out of the country.

The violence spread to the southern province of Hatay, where protesters set a Syrian grocery store ablaze.

The riots “damaged houses, workplaces, and vehicles belonging to Syrian nationals”, said Turkey’s Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, who accused those responsible of acting “illegally in an attitude that does not suit our human values”.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the violence, which he blamed opposition parties for stoking.

“It is unacceptable to burn houses, vandalise and set streets on fire,” he said on Monday of the violence. “Nothing can be achieved by fuelling xenophobia and hatred of refugees in society.”

More than 3.5 million Syrians live in Turkey, the highest number in the region, who were initially welcomed as refugees when the civil war erupted in Syria in 2011.

Umit Ozdag, the leader of Turkey’s anti-migration Victory Party, blamed the violence on the government’s allegedly “privileged” treatment of Syrian refugees.

soviet-hmm

IDK bro, that's a ton of refugees. I hope nothing bad is happening in the country they came from that could be causing this. Sounds like peace in that home country could go a long way to fixing this crisis you're having, is that going anywhere?

Al Jazeera’s Koseoglu said another reason for the riots was the recent, separate announcements by Erdogan and al-Assad to restore ties.

Tensions have been rising in Syrian opposition-held areas over moves towards rapprochement between the two countries, including plans to open a crossing between government-held areas and those held by Turkish-backed opposition forces in Aleppo.

Hopefully this event speeds up the peace process instead of derailing it. It's crazy how most of the world knows how immigration works and that you stop mass immigration waves by not having bloodbaths in the home countries (still took Turkey 10+ years to figure this out) but in the US how migrant waves appear is just they grew from the ground. The zombie hoarde from over there I guess.

I went for a run thinking "wouldn't it be just the thing for something insane to happen right as the site is down." I shouldn't have these intrusive thoughts.

Melanie Ward, CEO of the Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) charity, faces major backlash from volunteers and workers after deciding to run as a Labour Party candidate in Scotland. Some 2,250 healthcare workers, medical volunteers, supporters, and donors signed a letter expressing concern.

On June 5, a protest letter was filed by workers and volunteers at MAP, expressing their dismay to the board over Ward’s candidacy with the UK Labour Party. To run for the position of MP in Scotland’s Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency, Ward has taken a leave of absence but has not stepped down from her position.

Despite Ward’s pledge to make real progress for the Palestinian people if elected to Parliament, MAP is currently without an acting CEO during a healthcare collapse in Gaza. Some fear her actions could jeopardize the aid organization’s efforts on the ground, leading to threats of referring MAP to the Charity Commission.

To make matters worse, Ward has a history of pro-Israel sentiment that many fear is compromising the effort to aid Palestinians:

Ward has a history of affiliations with pro-Israel lobby groups, starting with her first trip to Palestine, organized by the Israeli Embassy-funded Union of Jewish Students (UJS). She blogged about meeting Israeli politicians and visiting settlements but shifted her perspective after a second visit to the West Bank. However, her relationship with UJS continued, including participating in a 2017 UJS panel called “Bridges Not Boycotts,” opposing boycotts of Israel.

In 2017, Ward publicly congratulated Israel lobbyist Danny Stone on receiving a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) award for his work combating antisemitism, which she praised as “excellent.”

Ward also supported the anti-Semitism “witch hunt” during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, which purged much of Labour’s pro-Palestinian base, including many Jewish anti-Zionists. She tweeted, “Farewell to Jeremy Corbyn, who really was a truly terrible Labour Party Leader. He will be missed not one little bit by those of us who want to see Labour in government again.”

In 2016, she signed a letter calling for Corbyn’s resignation, shared an article urging the public not to vote for him and tweeted the former Labour leader in 2015, “Corbyn unable to think of situation where he’d commit Forces to military action. Should think a bit harder if he wants to be PM,” in response to his anti-war stance.

I've always been worried about the leadership behind some of these charities since they take in a ton of money these days and they seem to be based in Western countries. Now my worries have been justified.

Newton teachers have won through their "illegal" strike almost everything they bargained for.

4 yr contract

• Significantly increased salaries for all aides -with some increases totaling 50%

• Adjustments to salaries for increased cost of living

• Additional social workers at the elementary level

• Additional staff to reduce class sizes at the high school level

• Expanded parental leave (60 days, 45 paid)

• Guaranteed student admittance for non-resident school system staff

• Agreed-upon procedures for educators on directed growth plans

• Adjustments to funding of insurance benefits and healthcare structure

The union will pay the fines in full, all $600k + of them.

The win does come after 11 days of missed school and the Governor threatening binding arbitration. I wonder if she will try to get rid of the law making teacher strikes illegal after this.

Big fat L for kulak NIMBYs who earlier voted to keep taxes low and not raise pay for the teachers. They were caught pulling the ladder from under them. Tough.

In preparation for the presidential visit Thursday, UAW Region 1 headquarters in Warren, Michigan was transformed into a virtual bunker. The building was encircled by heavy-duty municipal dump trucks filled with road salt to protect the president from attack. Secret Service agents, Michigan state police and local cops from Warren and nearby Centerline blocked all streets leading to the UAW hall and kept protesters hundreds of feet away.

New Settlers chapter just dropped.
