Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, all these people, we're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things


Professor John Mearsheimer : "if there were Nuremberg trials right where the Israelis and the Americans were brought before the court, President Trump along with President Netanyahu and many of their advisors would be hanged"

This is not good. “Everywhere chemicals” leaching from plastics may have contributed to 1.97 million preterm births and 74,000 newborn deaths worldwide in one year (2018), with an estimated 6.69 million years of life lost. Born at 28 weeks. The child faces: 7x the risk of hearing impairment 5x the risk of vision abnormalities 3x the odds of dental enamel defects 2x the odds of developmental delay Previous U.S. analysis found that prenatal phthalate exposure was associated with increased preterm birth risk. Mothers in the highest 10% of DEHP exposure had about a 50% higher chance of preterm birth than those in the lowest 10%, and phthalates were linked to about 56,595 preterm births in the US in 2018. "Everywhere chemicals" are phthalate derivatives added to plastics to make them softer, they leach into the environment and into food, where they have been linked to health risks including birth and developmental disruptions. These chemicals have been associated with inflammation, endocrine and metabolic disruption, and in pregnant women may disrupt placental and maternal-fetal pathways, which could contribute to preterm birth sometimes. Preterm birth is linked to a dramatically higher risk of newborn death: one large study found nearly 16 fold higher neonatal mortality versus term birth, and a global meta analysis estimated that 8% of babies born preterm die within the first 28 days, rising to 40% in extremely preterm infants. Phthalates (especially DEHP) exposure damages adults too, with those in the highest third of exposure showing 42% increased all-cause mortality compared to being in the lowest third.



Israel, as a sovereign state, legislates its own laws. Canada is intervening in the midst of a sovereign state’s legislative process. Israel is facing murderous and brutal terrorism on a scale unmatched anywhere in the world. Palestinian terrorism is fueled by payments from the Palestinian Authority, as well as by abductions that lead to shortened prison terms for terrorists. Israeli law already permits capital punishment, and under the proposed new law, discretion over its application will remain with the courts. Canadian double standards: Canada repeatedly singles out Israel - we haven’t seen a tweet like about this when it comes to capital punishment in the United States, Japan, India, Egypt, or other countries.

🚨 Breaking 🚨 NDP obtains a government document showing that 12 days before Ford signed the Ontario Place deal with Therme, a civil servant warned: "Therme has low liquidity, low equity value, and its financial strength appears weak." Therme lied about owning 6 spas in Europe when they owned 1 and claimed as equity money they expected to earn from a spa not yet built in Germany. #ONpoli globalnews.ca/news/11753811/…
