Hizbullah Hit by Backlash after Beirut Port Blast — Naharnet

Active since the October protests, Jaafar is frustrated by the small turnout in rallies since the blast but recognizes an outpouring of public anger is only one requisite for change. She, like many in Lebanon, sees her country’s political crisis as a product of rivalry between Hizbullah’s patron, Iran, and the U.S. and Gulf states. Only a resolution to that conflict will force change, she said.

“I understand why they exist. They filled the gap where the state failed,” said Jaafar. But “we want a real nation, a real country,” she said. “This is a jungle.”

Jaafar said protest activists are realizing they must work with allies within the system for change — push for early elections and challenge Hizbullah and its allies in Parliament.

“We won’t get rid of them in one election,” she said.

U.N. Says Half of Lebanese Could Face Food Shortages

W140

More than half of Lebanon’s population risk facing a food crisis in the aftermath of a Beirut port blast that compounded the country’s many woes, a U.N. agency said Sunday.

“More than half of the country’s population is at risk of failing to access their basic food needs by the year’s end,” the U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) said.

Trump’s Message Isn’t Confused. He’s Promising A Dictatorship. | Washington Monthly

The message is that Trump will break free of the meager constraints that have shackled him in his first term, to unleash a full authoritarian nightmare in his second—and beyond. The RNC doesn’t need a platform because it will be whatever Trump wants. There won’t be any more racial justice protests because Trump will just put them down as brutally as Putin does, with the help of the “very fine people” in the far-right militias to whom he gives tacit or not-so-tacit consent. There won’t be any more Constitutional constraints on his becoming president for life, because he doesn’t intend to follow that law any closer than he follows the Hatch Act. There won’t be any check on the ability of his personal vizier Attorney General to lock up political opposition on any supposed pretext. He will lead the final charge and conquest by Red America over Blue Non-America.
