He's not. He's waiting tables and taking orders.

In competitive states, he won by only 43k votes as opposed to the many more votes he won by in the popular vote. In other words, had those votes been cast differently, the electoral college would be very different

Israel doesn't really need the aid. They're doing just fine militarily

I don't really have a guide anywhere, but there are a number of them on the web. One of the OSINT powerhouses is BellingCat. They make finished products. There's https://liveuamap.com/en for a map on the RU/UA war. Oryx is a good estimate for equipment losses there (I bet you can tell where my interests lie) I'd recommend getting to know some of these finished products first. That, and reading about the history of where you are looking at. Learning about the politics of Coal? Read some books about it. Get some perspectives. Want to know about the Isreal/Palestine conflict? Get to know the last 100 years of conflict since the Ottoman Empire fell

There's a real big difference in bits and bites investigating and actual finished products. A lot of the tools out there are for getting these bits and bites like https://osintframework.com/. One can buy commercial satellite photos, but those are expensive. They're usually already bought by people on Twitter anyway. Putting together products is the hard part though, and there are quite a few pitfalls that one can fall into between unreliable sources and deceptive imagery persuasion or DIP. Ryan McBeth is a great source to look at to help you spot this sort of thing.

I suggest getting into the world of OSINT. There's a lot that can be learned there, and many sources are independent of any government.

True. Al Jazeera is a Qatari state run media enterprise. They're pretty reliable on news on things outside the Middle East, but tend to have a massive bias when it comes to matters of Qatar's interests.

Please remember, just because Trump doesn't respect the rule of law, doesn't mean you shouldn't either.

You probably don't work for a large company who has a duty to their shareholders. Large companies tend to save any penny they can because it scales up across the company. The workers at the bottom have no way to communicate with their employers too.

Small business has a shorter hierarchy, where you can go talk to the head of the company. They're usually private companies that don't have public shareholders.

That's an easy cease and desist letter right there. Failing that, there could be quite the copyright lawsuit there

It has to do with Christianity. Many Christians believe that Christ will come back raising the dead and restoring their bodies

Then that school policy is fine too, as it bans Anyone from wearing dreadlocks. This applies to the white Texans, the Hispanic Texans, the Black Texans etc.

That reasoning doesn't work. It's targeted against a certain group of marginalized people just like the Hijab law and the same principle.

It matches a couple of the patterns that antisemitic conspiracy theories have. Namely a secret society aimed at changing the status quo by subversion of 'all the good people'. That's a common theme, and has been used by both right wing and left wing antisemites. If you ask why would they subvert the good people, they answer, "It's because it's in their nature"

Admittedly, it's missing the tropes, like Christian Values, marxist-capitalists, etc, so more context is needed to say for certain
