This is a conservative estimate at 5.4% of Gaza killed. To put this in perspective, the genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur resulted in the deaths of 2.5%, 12%, and 5% of the populations, respectively. The genocide in Gaza is already surpassing most modern examples of genocide in deaths.

On December 7, Rudy Giuliani attempted to send Michigan Senate majority leader Mike Shirkey a message—though failed because he typed the wrong number into his phone: "So I need you to pass a joint resolution from the Michigan legislature that states that, * the election is in dispute *"

Despite failing to establish any valid fraud claims, CC1 followed up with P37 and P38 and attempted to pressure them to use the Michigan legislature to overturn the valid election results. On December 4, CCI sent a message to P38 claiming that Georgia was poised to do so (based on CC1 and CC false advocacy there in the December 3 hearing) and asked P38 for help: "Looks like Georgia may well hold some factual hearings and change the certification under ArtIl sec 1 cl 2 of the Constitution. As CC2 explained they

don't just have the right to do it but the obligation. ... Help me get this done in Michigan." 168 On December 7, CCI attempted to send P37 a message (though failed because he typed the wrong number into his phone): "So I need you to pass a joint resolution from the Michigan legislature that states that, * the election is in dispute, * there's an ongoing investigation by the Legislature, and * the Electors sent by Governor Whitmer are not the official Electors of the State of MI

Read about the role the NYT played in making J.D. Vance a national figure www.findinggravity.net/p/none-of-us...

In early 2016, Vance's Hillbilly Elegy had not yet been published and approximately zero people had ever heard of him — but The New York Times began making him a star anyway. In February 2016, Times columnist Ross Douthat promoted a piece Vance wrote for National Review. In April, the Times published a Vance op-ed. ("Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation's highest office," Vance noted after indulging a lengthy bit of self-mythologizing about his own "Mamaw.") Just two months later, the Times published another Vance op-ed, though the book whose sales supposedly made him famous still had not yet been published. # Three days later, Times columnist David Brooks got in on the action, devoting a column to promoting Hillbilly Elegy on the day of its publication. In August, the Times ran pieces promoting Vance and his book on the 2nd, the 5th, a rave review on the 10th, and then featured Vance as the guest on its podcast on the 19th.

Would you all treat “Where do you go to church?” as perfectly acceptable small talk because it’s a “Southern colloquialism”? Come on, man! PS: Also, “Have a blessed day” is less a Southern thing per se than a people who eat at Chick-Fil-A thing

Sen. JD Vance refused to acknowledge that former president Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, setting off one of the most contentious exchanges in Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate with Gov. Tim Walz.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz called Sen. JD Vance’s non-answer “damning” as the pair sparred over Jan. 6 and Trump’s refusal to concede defeat
