Texas girl, 15, trafficked from Mavericks game in Dallas; 8 arrested in Oklahoma: police | Fox News

“The systems and organizations involved in this case continually failed the victim. She should never have had contact with the man at the Mavericks game. The Dallas Police should have worked quickly to investigate leads and locate the teenager before she was trafficked to Oklahoma,” Fortenberry said in a statement. “The Extended Stay America hotel in Oklahoma City put profits ahead of people by turning a blind eye to the sexual exploitation occurring right before their eyes. This victim’s life will forever be changed. We hope to hold accountable those responsible and create change within these organizations so that this never happens to any other child.”Source: Texas girl, 15, trafficked from Mavericks game in Dallas; 8 arrested in Oklahoma: police | Fox News

Successfully fighting Covid-19 means investing in public health and uniform messaging – Vox (Me: GOPCovidDeathCult still beleaguers American fight for life and health)

With the politicization of Covid-19, public health messaging around the pandemic in the US has faced an uphill battle — and it shows. Beyond the recent hikes in hospitalizations, as of May 20, only 66.5% of the US population had been fully vaccinated — lagging behind other wealthy nations like France, Japan, and the UK — while just 46.4% had received a booster, according to CDC data.

But in a country where public health recommendations like getting vaccinated and wearing masks have become the cruxes of political debates, getting citizens on board with public health measures is easier said than done.

Viță veche

ore de drum

Evora, 2020

Cu înalta aristocrație portugheză nu mă întâlnisem niciodată prin cărți, astfel că, atunci când s-a ivit ocazia, am trecut pragul unui mic paradis de eleganță, curtoazie, educație, tact, armonie, măsură, bună-cuviință și alte himere care mă fac să mă simt în siguranță.

De la un oraș aflat în patrimoniul UNESCO era firesc să mă aștept la frumuseți, însă farmecul acestui ansamblu arhitectural m-a luat prin surprindere.

Intuisem un soi de chemare pe o alee discretă cu secretoase ferestruici în stil arăbesc, înainte să ajung la piațeta unde se află intrarea.

Existența complexului așa cum îl vedem azi este legată de istoria celor două familii care au locuit aici la distanță de cinci secole: conții de Basto și familia Eugenio de Almeida.

Palatul vechilor conți de Basto, denumit și Paço de San Miguel, cel mai vechi palat din Evora, este integrat în temelia zidurilor romane și a dăinuit odată cu…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Naquela mesa ele sentava sempre

E me dizia sempre o que é viver melhor

Naquela mesa ele contava histórias

Que hoje na memória eu guardo e sei de cor

Naquela mesa ele juntava a gente

E contava contente o que fez de manhã

E nos seus olhos era tanto brilho

Que mais que seu filho

Eu virei seu fã

Eu não sabia que doía tanto

Uma mesa num canto, uma casa e uma jardim

Se eu soubesse o quanto dói a vida

Essa dor tão doída não doía assim

Agora resta uma mesa na sala

E hoje ninguém mais fala no seu bandolim

Naquela mesa tá faltando ele

E a saudade dele tá doendo em mim

Naquela mesa tá faltando ele

E a saudade dele tá doendo em mim

Strawberry jam – Džem od jagoda

Myrela

  • 2 kg jagoda
  • 900 gr šećera
  • 1 vanilin šećer

Jagode oprati, očistiti i isjeći na sitnije komade. Dodati šećer i ostaviti da odstoji sat vremena. Staviti da se kuva i dodati kesicu vanilin šećera. Kuvati oko 45-60 minuta. Ako želite džem glatke glazure (bez komada voća), onda u toku kuvanja džem treba zgnječiti kašikom za pire ili štapnim mikserom. Pred kraj kuvanja, izvaditi jednu kašiku džema i ostaviti u frižider deset minuta. Ako je, nakon tog vremena, džem očvrsnuo, skuvan je. U vruće tegle sipati vruć džem. Ostaviti da se ohladi i staviti u frižider ili na police. Ovako skuvan džem može trajati do godinu dana.

‘The Nazis are coming’ – antisemites harass Beverly Hills hotel guests – The Jerusalem Post

The truck was covered with phrases alluding to great replacement theory.

Great replacement is the conspiracy theory that a cabal of political elites – often Jews – are trying to destroy white culture or race through mass migration of non-white peoples. It is often part of a narrative about “white genocide,” and manifested in the slogan, “You will not replace us,” or “Jews will not replace us.” 

StopAntisemitism warned that this was “the same rhetoric the Buffalo shooter espoused in his manifesto before murdering 10 people.”

GDL is a group with only a few organizers and supporters online, that operates a video platform that streams antisemitic content, according to the ADL.

The GOP — It Ain’t What It Used To Be

Filosofa's Word

One of the columnists I most respect is Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post. I bookmarked his column from Thursday to further peruse and upon doing so, I thought it well worth sharing with you. We the People can still salvage the democratic foundations from under the ashes of conservative cultism, but … we don’t have many chances left, which is why it is so imperative that we make sure everyone votes this November and in November 2024 … it may be the last best hope for the survival of the United States.
