NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

When asked how he went bankrupt, Hemingway said 'gradually then suddenly'. Personally, I really liked the late 1990s, when we had balanced budgets. It didn't take the next elected Republican president long to do away with that.

Sure, the data shows that there are 15 times as many Palestinians today worldwide than there were 90 years ago. There are fewer Jews than then. Seems that the effects of the Final Solution are still at work. That's the demographic truth.

Jews were completely safe in 'cultured' Weimar Germany, including high offices in government. Within a few years they were as unsafe as one could be. And, they had no where to go, no one would take them in. For the 2nd question, look at the population data. #facts

The online debate forces every position into a moral binary, the data tells a different story. Facts: Global population exploded from 2.2B to over 8B since 1938. Islam grew by ~560%, Christianity by ~240%. Meanwhile, the global Jewish population remains lower today than it was on the eve of WWII.
