Trump says Hutchinson’s claims, made under oath, are false and downplayed her role in his team. Among Trump’s rebuttals are that he refused Hutchinson’s requests to join him among other staffers at his Mar-a-Lago retreat after he lost the 2020 presidential election....

* He correctly noted that the number of jobs has grown steadily for a record 52 straight months. But the number of jobs gained is a fraction of the gains made during Bill Clinton's years, and wage gains have been eaten up by inflation. * He claimed his proposal to give tax deductions for those who buy their own health insurance will "put private coverage within reach for millions."

Clinton said “people died” in 1970s bombings by a radical group of which an Obama acquaintance was a member. In fact, the deaths were of three members of the Weather Underground itself, who died when their own bombs accidentally exploded. Obama said, “I have never said that I don’t wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins.” Actually, he did. He said last year, “I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest” because it had become “a substitute for … true patriotism” during the run-up to the Iraq war....

Fake International Law Is The Newest Anti Israel Libel Opinion

The central source of international law is treaties—agreements between the parties. While treaties often do not address many specific questions, in this case, there is a clearly applicable international agreement that directly addresses the vaccine issue—the Oslo Accords. The 1990s-era deal created the current PA government, which governs Palestinians in the West Bank (and governed Palestinians in Gaza up until Hamas took over). It also established a highly detailed division of authority between Israel and the Palestinians for issues of mutual concern, such as archaeological and holy sites, customs, taxes—and public health....

Earth S Inner Core May Have Started Rotating In The Opposite Direction

The results of the research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, indicate that changes in the rotation of the inner core could take place on a scale of decades. The study’s authors told Newsweek the findings have implications for our understanding of how the core influences the other layers of the Earth. Our planet consists of several layers. The thin, outer layer, known as the crust, mostly consists of solid rock and is generally around 20 to 30 miles thick in continental areas, although in oceanic regions the average thickness is roughly four miles....
