2030 they plan to shut down all coal powerplants and use only gas turbines plus wind, solar and hydro. Long term there are concepts for green hydrogen. Do you think this will work out for Germany?

Judge rejects Trump's bid to learn juror names at defamation trial

Donald Trump will not learn the identities of jurors expected to decide at an upcoming civil trial whether the former president defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll, who also claims Trump raped her.

U. S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan on Friday rejected Trump's renewed effort to require that prospective jurors provide their names, employment and 38 other pieces of information on written questionnaires.

Kaplan said the law was "abundantly clear" it was his choice whether to use questionnaires, and nothing has changed his decision to seat an anonymous jury at the April 25 trial, reflecting the threat of juror harassment.

Lawyers for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Trump had argued that his recent criminal indictment filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had brought on a "deluge of prejudicial media coverage" that would make it tough to find an impartial jury in Carroll's civil case.

Radical in politics, really every subject.

Caitlin Johnstone, the Australian author and leftist blogger, argues that he should be, as not doing so undermines the moral authority of the US (as if it has any) to criticize the human right records of other countries, and states:

"Even if Assange is released, the US empire will still have spent years imprisoning a journalist for the crime of good journalism,* will still be the world's worst warmonger, and will still be the world's most egregious violator of human rights. Its moral standing is dead and buried, and the world should stop following its lead in creating a just and ethical world. It simply does not have the qualifications to do so. In fact, no power structure on earth is less qualified."

*(Assange published evidence of US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya).

I think she is right. What do you think?

See Poll and please participate.

Im sure youve heard this said at some point? Do you think this proves someone isn’t racist? Because someone who is truly racist wouldn’t be friends with someone of another race right?

Men generally are better leaders, providers, more intelligent then women. There’s studies on these things.

Yet so many women can’t accept this. They say we are just as good or better.

Why the bitterness, you have different advantages.

Just look at how the world is literally designed and maintained completely by men. Women should be thankful as we compliment each other very well!!

Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, has been reported to have referred to service members as "suckers" and "losers." These comments were first reported by The Atlantic in 2020, citing multiple anonymous sources who said that Trump had made disparaging remarks about military service and those who had died in combat.

Specifically, the article alleges that in 2018, Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, France, where American soldiers who died in World War I are buried. According to the article, Trump reportedly said that the cemetery was "filled with losers" and that the 1,800 Marines who died in the Battle of Belleau Wood were "suckers" for getting killed.

Trump has denied making these comments, but several news organizations, including CNN and The New York Times, have corroborated The Atlantic's reporting.

Due to the stigma and full on assault of transpeople lately, a number of people just can't seem to help themselves but harass, or bully them. people just feel more and more emboldened now to treat them as less than human beings.

Here's some stats for you. Trans people are often mistreated, harassed, even physically assaulted. And not to mention a number of them end up committing suicide thanks to all these issues piling up on them mainly. I'm not asking you to agree with who they want to be but can you at the very least agree that they should never be harassed for what they are going through?

Adams lashes out at national Republicans for casting city as crime-ridden

Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday voiced irritation with former President Donald Trump's renewed presence in the city for various legal proceedings and national Republicans' depiction of Manhattan as dangerous place that disregards victims' rights.

“We thought that we were in a good place because he was in Florida and, you know, he didn't tie up our city,” Adams said at an unrelated press conference Wednesday, when asked about preparing for another Trump visit. “Now, he's going to be back here often.”

Trump is scheduled to return to New York later this week to give a deposition in state Attorney General Tish James' business fraud lawsuit against him and his real estate firm.

The historic indictment of the former president by the Manhattan district attorney brought hundreds of protesters last week to the Manhattan criminal courthouse.

Meanwhile Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a darling of progressive Democrats for his criminal justice reform policies, has drawn the ire of House Republicans, who say the top prosecutor should focus on violent offenders instead of Trump's alleged involvement in a hush money scheme. They plan to hold a so-called "field hearing" in New York City next week on violent crime.

Adams criticized House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for his hearing’s singular focus on New York City when “crime in congressional Republican areas per capita is through the roof." He faulted southern states for the “proliferation of guns” flowing to major cities.
