A number of Israeli rape claims, including one coming from an alleged member of Israel’s unit 669, feature significant inconsistencies. Meanwhile, the main source for a BBC report on October 7 mass rapes was none other than May Golan, infamous for leading an anti-black rally in Tel Aviv, screaming, “I am proud to be a racist.”

Cut my hair too short

Start trimming my ear hair

Force me to have an opinion on the ’86 Mets to avoid a lull in the conversation

Cut my hair longer somehow

Start using a product I don’t recognize

Start using a product I do recognize: Kikkoman Soy Sauce

Start talking about me on their cell phone

Start talking about me on my cell phone

Say, “I wonder if I’m ambidextrous”

Shave part of my head

Wax part of my head

Wax my whole body

Tell me my hair is “brittle”

Say, “Whoopsie daisy”

Call over the barbers to snap pictures of something on the back of my head

Say, “Be right back,” and then go on vacation

Tell me my hair is “sleepy”

Start sneaking sips of that blue liquid he keeps his combs in

Steal my wallet

Steal my wife

Tell me he’s going to give me the “Van Gogh”

Say, “Wow, that’s a lot of blood”

Insist I had only one ear when I came in

Cut up a line of dry shampoo and ask if I “party”

Ask for a tip after each snip

Sneeze on the back of my head

Get upset when I don’t say, “Bless you”

In the run-up to the 1992 General Election, the BBC filmed a documentary following the trials and tribulations of bus drivers at one of London’s largest bus garages, Westbourne Park in Notting Hill. Drivers were incensed by Tory proposals to privatise London’s buses. George Rhoden, an official of the Transport and General Workers Union, the […]

None. None at all. I realize it’s cheap and easy to make fun of Trump and that’s not what I’m trying to do here. I just think it’s vitally important that people are reminded of what he really is and how his mental faculties are going. Everyone has a slip now and again. I do too. And I know he’s always loved to sing his greatest hits. But that’s not what these are. They’re takes on these scandals and events from the past as if they’re fresh. And he literally makes no sense at times, like the clip below when he says he wants to build a wall on Day One and literally in same breath says he already built it. Also, he is dumb as a post. The following aren’t examples of decline. He’s always been this stupid:

This is more that just the usual, tiresome “I know you are but what am I” nonsense. He’s right about Bannon, Giuliani and Trump but not because Joe Biden is threatening to put them behind bars if he’s re-elected (like someone else we know is doing.) It’s because all of them are under indictment. Unless he knows something we don’t, Gaetz was actually let off the hook by the DOJ for his predatory behavior with drugs and underage girls. But yes, these people are accused criminals and they are going to trial and if they are found guilty they could go to jail. That’s how the Law and Order Party believes it should be for anyone but their crooked leaders.

We provide new evidence on the effect of monetary policy on investment in Australia using firm-level data. We find that contractionary monetary policy makes firms less likely to invest and lowers the amount they invest if they do so. The effects are similar for young and old firms, indicating that the decline in the number of young firms in Australia over time is unlikely to have weakened the effect of monetary policy. The effects are also broadly similar for smaller and larger firms. This suggests that evidence that some, particularly large, firms have sticky hurdle rates does not mean that they do not respond to monetary policy. It also suggests that overseas findings that expansionary monetary policy lessens competition by supporting the largest firms likely do not apply to Australia. We find evidence that financially constrained firms, and sectors that are more dependent on external finance, are more responsive to monetary policy, highlighting the important role of cash flow and financing constraints in the transmission of monetary policy.

As the 24th EU-China Summit concluded on Thursday, it is natural to want to look behind the declarations and official speeches to identify the deeper forces shaping the European Union’s relationship with China and its policies toward China. But to understand the nature of these forces, it is crucial to go back to the very […]

In early 2024, a new, grim chapter may be written in the annals of journalistic history. Julian Assange, the publisher of Wikileaks, could board a plane for extradition to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges for the crime of publishing newsworthy information. The persecution of Assange is […]
