Oklahoma Prepares to Kill Another Man Who Says He’s Innocent (theintercept.com)

RICHARD ROJEM JR. had 20 minutes to address the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board. Wearing a maroon prison uniform, he raised his cuffed right hand and swore to tell the truth, then gave his pitch for why his life should be spared. It would take less than 90 seconds....

Rarely is it a rational gov’t/populace that takes out its own dictator tho. Usually it’s a military coup, so just substituting one dictator for another.

Haiti has a poor history when it comes to foreign military forces entering the nation to ‘help out’, and they have a valid reason to be wary.

2010s Haiti cholera outbreak

The suspected source of Vibrio cholerae in Haiti was the Artibonite River, from which most of the affected people had consumed the water. Each year, tens of thousands of Haitians bathe, wash their clothes and dishes, obtain drinking water, and recreate in this river, therefore resulting in high rates of exposure to Vibrio cholerae.

The cholera outbreak began nine months after January 2010 earthquake, leading some observers to wrongly suspect it was a result of the natural disaster. However, Haitians grew immediately suspicious of a UN peacekeeper base, home to Nepalese peacekeepers, positioned on a tributary of the Artibonite River. Neighboring farmers reported an undeniable stench of human feces coming from the base, to the extent that local Haitians began getting their drinking water upstream from the base.

Before the outbreak, no cases of cholera had been identified in Haiti for more than a century, and the Caribbean region as a whole had not been affected by the cholera outbreak originating in Peru in 1991. The population’s lack of prior exposure and acquired immunity contributed to the severity of the outbreak.

Haiti suffered 819,779 cases of cholera with 9,794 deaths

COVOD’s (sic) a virus.

So is mpox.

It (COVID) does substantially better in cool, dry air, as do the majority.

You’re right here. But mpox isn’t spread through the air like COVID is. It’s spread through sexual and non-sexual contact.

You’re bullshitting about a virus with a 5% kill rate.

5% for adults, 10% for kids and a massive increase in miscarriages. So far more deaths than you say.

I simply quoted what was in the article, which seemed vastly better than what you pulled from your brain.

How about you source your statements instead.

Someone help make sense of this. Why would you lift the gag order off jurors but not yourself?

Merchan was never personally covered under the gag order. His family was, but not him.

Then it’s time to pressure hotels to start catering to what people want vs states allowing private equity and private out-of-state ownership of housing in Hawaii.

Having access to a holiday domicile will never outweigh the need for year-round housing for residents and Native Hawaiians. Remember almost 50% of Native Hawaiians now live elsewhere, primarily due to the cost of living and lack of available/affordable housing in Hawaii.

Because it’s a Canadian comedian who is starting to break through into America.

I get that it may not be news to some, but to others it would be because 1) she a woman and 2) she’s starting to gain attention in the largest market in the world.

Just as an experiment, without using google, tell me the names of 5 women who’ve broken into the US market in the last 10 years. Now do the same for 5 Canadian women.

It all has to with with money, ie: if you invest in proper care for the kids = it costs more than just warehousing/condemning them to the bare minimum.
