Sin..

 

Deeply..

 

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said he was stepping back from all public commitments amid fallout from the release of emails between him and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

• "I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein," Summers said.

• Summers is a board member of OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company, and is a former president of Harvard University.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Harvard University should sever ties with Larry Summers, the school’s former president and one of its most prominent faculty members — putting new pressure on the elite university to hold Summers accountable for his close friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
New details of Summers’ relationship with Epstein emerged last week when a House committee released emails showing years of personal correspondence between the two men, including Summers making sexist comments and seeking Epstein’s romantic advice.

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies." 

Golden Toilet...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has close ties to individuals named in a sprawling “golden toilet” scam that saw tens of millions of dollars siphoned from wartime energy programs, according to reports.

At least two people with ties to Zelensky were named in the investigation from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, which was unveiled Monday and alleged about $100 million meant to protect power plants from Russian sabotage was actually siphoned by officials beginning in 2022.

Among them was businessman Tymur Mindich, who co-founded the entertainment company Kvartal 95 with Zelensky and was allegedly the ringleader of the scheme.

The two even had apartments in the same building, with Zelensky stopping by Mindich’s for a birthday celebration in 2021.

And it was that apartment – where Mindich was found to have bags of cash, the Financial Times reported –

“Tymur had an apartment with golden toilets that was in the same building as Zelensky’s,” a former Ukrainian government official told Fox News.

Cohesion..

The social democrat Mette Frederiksen won Denmark’s 2019 elections on a platform of radical reforms to reach climate targets, lowering the pension age for manual workers – and stricter migration policies.

Denmark has some of the strictest asylum legislation in Europe. The country grants only temporary asylum to refugees, regardless of their need for protection. It has tightened laws on family reunion, and introduced policies focused on prioritizing deportation, rather than integration.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has justified such policies by pitting the challenges of immigration against the affordability of public services and the welfare state.

 In her own words, migration “is challenging Europe, affecting people’s lives, and the cohesion of our societies”.

Now, Frederiksen’s approach has become a model for other left-wing governments in Europe, including the UK, struggling to address voter concerns about immigration.

Chaos..

 

Dating..

I'm 58, divorced, and dating again, but women just seem to care about the size of my bank account. How should I approach dating differently now?

 The good news is that you have several tools at your disposal for finding a partner — dating apps (yes, we know they can be frustrating), community groups and clubs, and even your own social network. 

But what if you’ve recently started dating and the topic of money keeps coming up?

If you’re a person of means, you may be concerned that the people you’re dating are simply looking for someone to fund their lifestyle. 

If you’re not particularly wealthy, you may worry that it could be a barrier.

Well, It a hit or miss. You may meet the right person, but you have to be patient.

Just a thought.

Dems..

 

The Democrats started the US Government shut down and blamed others on it. Then 40 days later it started hurting the same people who they want to assist legal and illegal.

So they choose few Democrats to side with the Republicans to reopen the Government.

Could the Dems get the same outcome achieved with just two days?  Just a thought.

Assylum..

 

ASYLUM seekers who illegally arrive in Britain will be forced to wait 20 years before they can apply for permanent residence, in a bid to end “golden ticket” asylum, the Home Secretary has vowed.

Shabana Mahmood warned illegal migration is “tearing our country apart” amid plans for the biggest overhaul since World War 2, which has divided opinion within her own party.

Ms. Mahmood is also set to announce that refugee status will become temporary, and those whose countries become safe will be immediately made to go home

She argued many of those given limited asylum have ended up staying in Britain their whole lives – with the plan to review refugee status every 30 months.

The Government is due to announce its new specific refugee settlement route later this week – inspired by the Danish system, which has seen a 40-year low in asylum applications, with 95 percent of applicants rejected.
