House Republican Lauren Boebert is polling 14 points behind potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District according to a survey conducted on behalf of his campaign....
No, neither candidate has won their primary yet, as the article.makes clear.
To secure the Republican nomination for Colorado’s 4th District in November Boebert will have to defeat state representatives Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf, ex-state senator Jerry Sonnenberg, business owner Peter Yu and former talk radio presenter Deborah Flore. For the Democratic nomination McCorkle is running against engineer John Padora and ex-speechwriter Trisha Calvarese, who will also contest the special election in June.
No-one reputable is going to report on this, but you did some weird searches if you only found Murdoch sources for it. The primary sources on this are, in chronological order:
The Daily Fail, which is owned by Harmsworth and Rothermere, not Murdoch.
The IDF releasing the videos directly (abundant re-sharing meant I failed to find where the IDF originally posted them).
No-one cares if you consent to being drawn. The problem here isn’t the consent of the depicted person, it’s that the viewer is being misled. That’s why the moral quandary goes away entirely if the AI porn is clearly labeled as such.
If only, back when Democrats had a majority in the House and the Senate and controlled the Presidency, they’d banned gerrymandering full stop. Alas, they’ll never do that, so the GOP will continue to get away with this.

Yep. Not too long ago I tried to explain this to some other Lemmings, and I got severely downvoted. They did not like hearing that ethnicity doesn’t imply a mental/cultural monolith.
Bravo. I didn’t even go mental, I pointed out Africa has black people in it to disprove their claim that all black people are culturally American. They didn’t stammer, but they sure did get mad.
I was held for two hours. The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas. Then the agents wished to know whether I thought Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide and what I think of the slogan “Palestine should be free from the river to the sea”. I said yes, I do think Israel is committing...
The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas. Then the agents wished to know whether I thought Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide and what I think of the slogan “Palestine should be free from the river to the sea”.
In a situation like this, the only correct answers are “lawyer” and silence.
Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a strategic dilemma. Since the president’s job-approval ratings have been consistently low, his path to reelection depends on making 2024 a comparative choice between himself and Donald Trump, his scary, extremist predecessor. That task is becoming more urgent as evidence emerges that a sizable...
OPP said the officers responding to the first collision had also just finished investigating another crash between a car and a moose, but there were no serious injuries in that incident.
“Julian has been indicted for receiving, possessing and communicating information to the public of evidence of war crimes committed by the U.S. government,” his wife, Stella Assange, said. “Reporting a crime is never a crime.”
The “ten commandments” differ both by religion and sect - Christianity doesn’t have 1 definition of them across it, and even if it did, Judaism would disagree. Even without equivalents from other religions, like Satanism’s 7 Tenets, this would be incredibly ripe for disputes.

Among the myriad ways to tell that there is no world government… if there was a single world government, money would be irrelevant to situations like this - there would be no issue to smooth over because no-one’s sovereignty would have been violated.
We care about freedom from hunger, unemployment and poverty — and, as FDR emphasized, freedom from fear. People with just enough to get by don’t have freedom — they do what they must to survive. And we need to focus on giving more people the freedom to live up to their potential, to flourish and to be creative. An agenda...
I would lay quite good odds most of the problems you’re laying at the feet of capitalism are caused by GOP socialism, like the article’s discussion of when the GOP just handed the banks gobs of tax dollars in welfare.
To be clear, I’m attacking the GOP here, not socialism itself. I’m just also tired of people complaining about capitalism while decrying problems caused by corporate welfare.

Feminism is a spectrum of beliefs. Look at J.K. Rowling - the F in TERF stands for Feminist. There are plenty of feminists I disagree with.
But I just don’t believe Xandan’s claims of activism. Murdering two people, permanently injuring another, and injuring a fourth doesn’t imply much care for your fellow humans. Xandan comes off as self-centered, only out for himself.
Agreed, OP should have in hindsight so should I since OP didn’t- it’s insufficient on its own (newbies won’t know how to see the votey) for my purpose, but it is basic decency/respect. My apologies.
Once again, the problem is that the banks aren’t being taxed. The reason the billionaires don’t pay taxes is that they buy everything with money they borrow from the banks.
I’m guessing all other posters responding to the post directly are kneejerking it without clicking, because the original link OP posted just doesn’t fucking work.

For several decades Canada’s population growth rate hovered at about 1.0 percent annually. This rate has more than tripled in a few short years, up to 3.3 percent in 2023.
There are significant downsides to a large population, some of which are a function of the buildings required to house them, like how you supply all those homes with electricity. There is absolutely such a thing as too many people and such a thing as too many buildings and/or buildings which are too large.
Why would Gazans attack a pier being built to being them aid?
Hamas would absolutely, unquestionably attack a pier being built to bring Gazans aid. Hamas has never been interested in helping their fellow Gazans - which is why e.g. they committed Oct 7 in the first place, even though it was guaranteed to make life worse in Gaza. You’re confusing a tyrannical terroeist group with the Gazan people in general, i.e. you’re spouting the same rhetoric Netanyahu does.
rather than the person who is receiving the income.
Yes, this seems deeply fucked up.
From the article:
He also didn’t know that tenants renting from a non-resident are required to withhold and remit 25 per cent of their rent to CRA each month, unless they have a property manager doing it for them, or if the non-resident has made alternate arrangements to pay their taxes.
Why would Canadian law require that? I’ve never heard of a country forcing people to pay other people’s income taxes outside of countries that still have forced inheritance of debt, like South Korea. Makes absolutely no sense. As in this case, the requirement about non-residents is inane, because the renter has no way to assess resident status.

You’re using sensationalist language to hide the fact that you’re the person in this conversation arguing for more aexual abuse of children, not me. I’m advocating for using drawn artwork to reduce abuse of children. You’re advocating for banning said artwork, which we know leads to more abuse of real children.
