 Even after years of contaminated water, Flint, Michigan continues to suffer:

You know about how the "Hamas" Hospital is somehow some base of operations , right? Of course you do. But there's more to this story than you think. First, let's hear about the history of the Shifa Hospital : The idea that one of Hamas’ main command bunkers is located beneath Shifa Hospital in Gaza City is one of the worst-kept secrets of the Gaza war. So why aren’t reporters in Gaza ferreting it out? The precise location of a large underground bunker equipped with sophisticated communications equipment and housing some part of the leadership of a major terrorist organization beneath a major hospital would seem to qualify as a world-class scoop—the kind that might merit a Pulitzer, or at least a Polk. So why isn’t the fact that Hamas uses Shifa Hospital as a command post making headlines? In part, it’s because the location is so un-secret that Hamas regularly meets with reporters there .

The amount, how fast the documents were returned, any charges, whatever half-baked response these human gaffe-machines give as a reason...it's all political. The question that should be asked is, "has exposure of these documents h...

It's about the policies, not the person. Over the past several months, Congress has approved a military spending bill , an extension of the surveillance law and sanctions on Russia. The Trump Administration decides to ignore the last one , and apparently some Democrats are upset. I don't understand why; you can't claim that Donald Trump is a danger to the country and probably has too many compromising connections to Russia WHILE GIVING HIM A BIGGER MILITARY BUDGET THAN HE ASKED FOR AND THE ABILITY TO SPY ON EVERYONE. At best, it makes your "resistance" appear to be flimsy.

You don't say, Joe . Or in other words: Still waiting on Kelly Ripa to come clean about her and Michael Strahan (allegedly).

" I've been an UNREGISTERED youporn user since today's MILFs were teen sorority girls. " It makes sense in context .

Odds are, the password you use for Facebook is the same as the one for your bank account .

Man, I really wish "the guy" in this story was the Janitor/Handyman from the show. I really do.
