Cause, effect: NYPD commish explains new no-bail laws lead to more crime
https://nypost.com/2020/01/27/cause-effe...ore-crime/

Over 60% increase in car thefts since this law started this year? A guy robbed two more banks after this farce let him out after four previous robberies? And yet, liberals hailed the removal of setting bail as a victory?

UK: To be Huawei or not to be!? Happy with a sweat
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51263799

At least they realize USA insists on not letting Chinese technology companies get a free pass to UK.
Does it mean James Bond would no longer get indirect assistance of CIA / NSA if Huawei success in entering that market?

Later on Prime Minister Johnson announced they'd allow Huawei to partake in their 5G venture but they wouldn't exceed a coverage of 35% of the British market and they'd stay off of sensitive areas and the network core.

Is that really enough? They do realize Chinese technological companies are risky by nature.

It's a shame to admit that Costa Rica has its third chancellor in a single administration. Honestly, the previous ones were accused of corruption. Right, you might need to know what a chancellor does down here. Well, he's just in charge of diplomatic relationships. Period.

Reuters Wrote:Guatemala and El Salvador have announced blanket restrictions on people who have recently been in China. Costa Rican officials said they will monitor transit points such as airports, but for now will allow Chinese travelers to enter the country.

Curiously, Costa Rica didn't ban them. Nobody would EVER suspect China has pressured the Costa Rican government to let Chinese stay in the country as much as it pleases them.

YESTERDAY.... I posted a Reuters.Com link. It was about a Newspaper Writer fired because he, a liberal, wrote an article that mentioned that biologically there are two sexes.

Way more extremist since I was home and watched the Joint Announcement by Netanyahu and Trump about the deal. It expressed (and I'm actually copying from the official Peace Accord itself)

1. Meets the security requirements of the State of Israel;
   
2. Delivers significant territorial expansion to the Palestinians;
   
3. Takes into account the State of Israel’s valid legal and historical claims;
   
4. Avoids forced population transfers of either Arab or Jews;
   
5. Enhances mobility for both Israelis and Palestinians within their respective states;
   
6. Provides pragmatic transportation solutions to address the needs of the Israeli and Palestinian enclaves that are described below;
   
7. Enhances the commercial viability and economic independence of the State of Palestine,
   
8. Provides for a potentially significant expansion of Gaza to enhance its development and success; and
   
9. Facilitates the integration of the State of Palestine into the regional and global economy.

These are all nine points in Chapter Four of the actual 'Peace to Prosperity' accord handling national borders. No more. No less. So when I read some newspapers say Israel is taking land FROM Palestine, I knew it was a lie. Point #2 confirms that they're lying.

With that in mind, I could only assume that Hamas is embedded with the Palestinian government.
