Red Light..

 

Amsterdam was voted the second-best city in the world by Time Out in 2021, and around 2.5 million people from across the world visit the city every year, according to Dutch Art Institute.

The city is arguably best known for its Red Light District. This neighborhood is often visited by "nuisance tourists," which the city's government website says are often British men between the ages of 18 and 34, according to The Independent. 

They've been known to visit the neighborhood for bachelor parties or to visit sex workers in the famous red-light windows.  

On the other side of the world, in 2020, the Bourough of the Bronx had a violent crime rate of 663.15 incidents per 100,000 residents. Out of the 100 most populous cities in the United States, the Bronx's violent crime rate is the 46th highest in the nation

Long Beach, Reno, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Las Vegas all have similar violent crime rates as the Bronx.

What is the reason of this violence in one place, and no violence on the other? Frustrated young people? Just a "peaceful" thought.

Bite .

 

The crowd erupted in applause after Trump asked if they wanted to hear the song, which he referred to as a poem. 

The 1968 soul hit, which was sung by Al Wilson, a Black man, is about a "tender-hearted woman" who saw "a poor half-frozen snake" and took it in. 

The woman "wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk" and "laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk."

When the woman returned, the snake was "revived" but "instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)," the lyrics continue. 

When the woman cries and asks the snake why he bit her, the snake replies that she knew he was a snake before she took him in. 

"And that's what's happening to the United States of America with immigration," Trump said. "I think it's pretty accurate, do you agree?

Amnesia..C..

 


DeSantis specifically called out Psaki for saying Florida hadn't done enough to distribute money to help keep schools open during the latest COVID-19 wave.

"Are you kidding me? I remember them criticising me when we did this almost two years ago," DeSantis said of Democrats who slammed his decision to open schools in the fall of 2020. "We were the only big state to have every school open for in person, and we did that way before Biden was even president. We didn't need the Biden stimulus money for that." 

Many Democrats facing reelection have come around to fewer restrictions, too, and the Biden administration has said schools should stay open despite the latest COVID-19 wave. 

Florida was one of the only states to push schools to re-open in person during the coronavirus pandemic while others held only virtual classes, leading to frustrations between teacher's unions, elected officials, and families. The topic has become a lighting rod issue ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, with Republicans seeing fewer COVID-19 restrictions as a winning message for bringing for bringing people to the polls. Just a 'fair' thought.
