Sir Keir Starmer: New Border Command.
Sir Keir Starmer has been waxing lyrical about how He would tackle illegal migration. Sir Keir today was stood at the podium in Dover, Kent, the seat of His new MP Natalie Elphicke who defected from the Conservatives. Ms. Elphicke defected on Wednesday before Prime Minister's Question Time. Ms. Elphicke has a reputation for being on the right of politics. What does Ms. Elphicke see in Keir Starmer's Labour Party that made her shift? Many in the party are unhappy with Natalie Elphicke now being in Labour's ranks. Just the same, Sir Keir welcomed her into Labour's ranks. The wheels coming off Sunak's wagon could be another reason Ms. Elphicke defected.

Netanyahu and Putin: The Same.
When you look at President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu they have much in common. Both men have been around for years and have led their countries for decades. In Netanyahu's case, he has led Israel on and off. In contrast, Putin has ruled Russia for several decades.

Who You Might Be Based on Who You Sympathize With: PALESTINE, UKRAINE, RUSSIA, ISRAEL
UKRAINE & ISRAEL: The Liberal You might prefer relatively liberal societies that have a reasonable amount of social norms and expectations, and a certain degree of censorship and bad reactions to (some) protests. You may be center-left or center-right, possibly a neoliberal (or possibly, but less likely, a Trotskyite or nationalist) of some sort. Also includes neoconservatives, and some other (pro-establishment) "elitists" from almost every part of the political compass. These people are mostly afraid of something really "different" (in their government). They are afraid of change. They are probably also afraid of too much chaos and extremes. A lot of them might just want to live their lives (or think that), and would like more people to follow their "majority", "normal" stance on this issue. In addition, you might also have some ancestry or heritage that is Jewish or Ukrainian.

Should the U.S. Pay Reparations to Black Americans?
I know that most people are already fixed in their position for or against reparations, and many will prematurely close out this article as soon as it looks like the conclusion being reached doesn’t agree with their own. However, there are many factors being considered below and the argument is a winding one. Ultimately, any that are entirely for or entirely against are likely to disagree in part with the final conclusion reached.

Sunak Coy On July General Election.
When Joe Biden learnt that Rishi Sunak had succeeded Boris Johnson he said: "Remarkable". Why remarkable? Well, the fact that the UK had its first British Asian Prime Minister and the first Hindu one to boot. Sunak may be a man of colour, but Sunak racially would still be classified as Caucasian. Biden, however, got Sunak's name wrong. Calling Him Rushi Sanook. This made Sunak sound like an Indian but not a South Asian Indian, more Native American!

Selective Development: The Ruthless Cost of Progress on Indigenous Groups
It was February 2023, over a year ago as of writing, when we visited an indigenous community in Tanay, Rizal, to conduct an investigative report, shedding light on both the construction of the Kaliwa Dam and the plight of the Dumagat-Remontado tribe, who faced severe repercussions because of this mega-dam project.

Iran and Israel: Still Playing A Dangerous Game.
Hezbollah started out as a resistance movement to Israel. Since then the militia has grown steadily backed, supported, and supplied by Iran. Hezbollah and Israel fought a war in 2006, that ended in a stalemate. However, some historians believe that Hezbollah won that war. A UN- brokered ceasefire brought this conflict to an end.

Make 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.

Daniel Herzog: "Act of War But We Want Peace". Really?
The President of Israel Daniel Herzog is President in name only. Unlike say someone like President Biden, Herzog's role is a ceremonial role like the British Monarch. Herzog has views on certain things and no doubt, he discusses them with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Many countries have political or royal heads of state who wield no power. The real power lies in the hands of the Prime Minister, in this case, Bibi Netanyahu.
