>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.

Are people of Jewish descent somehow disadvantaged by Affirmative Action?

>How often has she mentioned the elections were stolen again?

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]

>I sincerely doubt they would be using public ADS-B ported to a Twitter account to track you around.

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.

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?

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].

There is this relatively recent German movie called Plan A from 2021[0].

>i do wonder how easy/hard it really is to reverse engineer a vaccine

I think it's easier to gain this information via hacking and data theft or paying insiders for documents than actually reversing the vaccine.

You'd think that with China's cavalier attitude towards intellectual property and trade secrets they would just copy one of the more effective mRNA vaccines and distribute it under the current Sinovax label.

>I hope you don't mean racial homogeneity, because that would be a load of _equine excrement_

I'd argue that Mumbai/India or Lagos/Nigeria are overwhelmingly racially homogeneous. So there must be some additional factor beyond racial homogeneity.

And the most obvious one is demographic composition.

Does the high trust stem from interpersonal solidarity or draconian persecution of misbehaviour?

>Let's hear what Ken Griffin has to say about the GOP receiving FTX money.

Did the GOP directly profit from those donations or did it go to a specific PAC to support the campaign of a specific politician who a had personal connection to FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Salame? There is a report that suggests the latter[0].

The left likes to vilify the practices of the IMF, BlackRock and GoldmanSachs. Is that also a "too obvious anti-Semitic [dog]whistle"? Or does that only apply to those evil people on the right?

In the case of the recent gay club shooting in Colorado Springs, wasn't the shooter a gay "incel" man himself?

Sorry, but what does "ts" stand for?
