Ilhan Omar’s Very Bad Tweets
Left-wing anti-Semitism is a gift to the right.I can do no better than to quote:
" Omar released one of her own, apologizing “unequivocally.” She wrote, “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes.” Personally, I’m happy to accept her apology. Progressive American Muslims and Jews should be natural allies; our mutual future depends on deepening this country’s embattled commitment to multiethnic democracy. Prejudice helps bind the modern right together, but unchecked it can rip the left apart."

New data for 2018’s fourth quarter shows the British economy growing at its slowest pace since 2012, bringing the broad impact of a no-deal split from the European Union into sharp relief.These worries are trivial.
A ship now, pay later tariff policy would solve most of them.

At What Age Is Love Enthralling? 82
A confession of attraction from a man 30 years younger causes an octogenarian to reflect on desire, sensuality and aging.Even so.
Sooner is better. As soon as you can is best.
