Trump squeezes UNRWA, checkmates PLO and incentivises Jordan

"President Trump has created a veritable diplomatic tsunami affecting the political fortunes of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), Hamas and Jordan - with his decision to cease all future donations to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) - currently US$360million per annum and comprising about 30% of UNRWA’s budget."

Dem Senate Candidate Kyrsten Sinema Fought For Loophole Protecting Men Caught With Child Prostitutes Because Some 12-Year-Olds ‘Look Older’

"While serving in the state legislature, Sinema argued against eliminating a loophole that allowed men caught with child prostitutes to use the child’s appearance as a defense. She claimed it was “not fair” to get rid of the loophole.

“As a former social worker at an elementary school, there were children at my school, 12, 13-year-old, and some of these children look older than me. They were much more, I mean, definitely sophisticated, developed,” Sinema said in a 2007 hearing."

"Sinema is battling Arizona GOP Rep. Martha McSally for outgoing Republican Sen. Jeff Flake’s seat in the November midterms.

The child prostitute controversy isn’t the first prostitution-related issue to plague Sinema’s campaign.

Sinema donated $33,000 to charity to “erase her ties” to prominent Democratic donor Ed Buck after a male escort was found dead in Buck’s home, The Arizona Republic reported in March.

She similarly donated $53,400 to charity to sever ties from donors affiliated with Backpage.com, which federal authorities linked to widespread sex trafficking, the Republic noted. Backpage CEO Carl Ferrer pleaded guilty to sex trafficking in April. "

Beyond Orwellian: Myth of UK's 'non-intervention' in Syria

"Neocons know that after the disasters of Iraq and Libya, 'interventionist' foreign policies have been utterly discredited. So, the only way out is to portray Syria, however ludicrously, as an example of UK 'non-intervention', in the hope that some people might fall for it and support 'rectifying' the 'inaction' at some point in the near future. Perhaps in response to a non-independently verified chemical weapons attack in Idlib, later this month? The Foreign Affairs Committee report, which makes George Orwell's 1984 look quite understated, is perfectly timed for that."
