In an era where DNA is available and has exonerated the wrongly convicted, it seems ridiculous that statutes of limitation in rape and sexual assault cases should be eliminated. Too many cases like this can't be prosecuted. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Police knew who her rapist was. The law kept them from prosecuting him for the attack.
After a certain point in some states, there’s no way to hold a perpetrator accountable for the most serious sexual assaults.

It was Biden administration that set 9/30/26 as the date for the withdrawal of U.S. troops in a bilateral deal with Iraq in 2024. And Ali al-Zaida was appointed, not elected by a landslide, behind closed doors after a 5-month deadlock. The remaining claim is true: Donald Trump is Donald Trump.

It’s also worth noting that it’s mathematically impossible to pay off a $3,600 balance at $50/month if you’re being charged 18% interest. Your interest the first month alone would be $54, which means you’d have to pay at least $55/mo to ever pay it off (it would take 22 1/2 years at $55/mo).
