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?

170 deceases officially admitted by the Chinese government

BBC Wrote:Two flights to Japan have already landed at Tokyo's Haneda airport and the passengers are being screened at medical institutions. So far, three have tested positive for the virus, Japanese media report.

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. Confused

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. I chose the Reuters link because it was by liberal-minded Reuters. However, the article has been completely replaced with one about the coronavirus. And no, the Wayback Machine is denied. I didn't think I needed to screencap it.

https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/denv...two-sexes/
This is from a website dedicated to Law Enforcement Officials.
Caldera (the fired writer) Wrote:“There was a time when the liberals in the press fought hard to protect free speech. How they fight hard to mandate speech because, heaven forbid, someone be offended or have their feelings hurt. It’s okay people get offended in fact; I encourage it. It means we are being challenged. It’s not hate speech. It’s speech. It used to be the press was all about.”

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.

The question here is, what is more important? Independence? Peace? But shouldn't that be their choice? In fact, shouldn't they be allowed to have BOTH like every other nation?
