I said his struggles as a black man. As in being raised in poverty in the midwest (not a lot of opportunity for people of his background) and having no real shot at success in America other than selling his body.

>having no real shot at success in America other than selling his body.

Selling his body? Are you serious?

He wouldn't have been able to become a cop, a nurse, a clerk, a financial professional or any of the other thousands of professions that black people in the midwest find themselves in?

LeBron's struggles seem less part of his success story and more part of a self-penned "rags to riches" legend.

Often enough[0] (it's questionable if the Mueller probe would have even happened without Clinton & Democratic Party clamoring for it) and the last time just a month ago:

"Hillary Clinton: Right-Wingers Plot To 'LITERALLY STEAL' The Election In 2024"[1]

How is that exactly a risk for a commercial aircraft unless you fear someone armed with a Stinger missile is out to get you? If they had one, I sincerely doubt they would be using public ADS-B ported to a Twitter account to track you around.

You could sometimes track Global Hawk drones above the Black Sea publicly.

Why not, when it's convenient? It's probably not impossible to get a Stinger missile or similar from one of the current war theaters or black markets.

From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum.

It might only appear leftist if you're from the US, where you vote either for the extreme rightwing or slightly rightwing party.

>From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum.

From a European perspective many talking points and political efforts of the Democratic party are certainly extremely left-wing. In fact, many of the European left-wing parties crudely import talking points on internal US issues, like for instance Black Lives Matter. Also, why would a "slightly rightwing party" push for anti-white CRT in schools, sex transitioning of children, abortions and mass immigration?

>noted pathologist says

The "noted pathologist" is expert witness Dr. Michael Baden, of George Floyd fame (or infamy), who routinely confirms whatever the paying party requested[0].

Can you explain what you are referring to? What has contrasting the military capabilities of Germany and Israel have to do with the subject of the article?

Holy crap, I can't even begin imagining the grief and anger that they must have felt.

Didn't stop them from executing the Nakba against the inhabitants of Palestine already in 1948[0].

On top of that, the irony of poisoning the water supply is thick, since Jews had been accused of poisoning wells for hundreds of years at that point[1].
