Absolutely! Making my first right at a four-way intersection was terrifying. It’s kinda cool how your brain just gets it all of a sudden though.

There are some interesting repercussions of the expansion of the British Empire too. British Virgin Islands drive on the left with right hand drive cars. Islands that were purchased by other nations, like St. John, use American left hand drive cars while driving on the left side of the road.

I rented a car in St. John, and I can say it’s so bizarre being the driver on the white line side of the road.

Anyone other than Kamala would have to begin fundraising upon nomination. Funds donated to the Biden campaign can only be transferred to her. We’d either be looking at Harris or an independently wealthy replacement.

Not at all. She’s brilliant.

That’s possible. The difference is the agreement would put Biden in direct oversight of Israel. He currently has a Congress that voted in favor of aid, and a State Department that submitted an inconclusive report of war crimes. If Netanyahu breaks the agreement or negotiates in bad faith, Biden would have full authority to amend the munitions agreements without facing impeachment. We’d finally see if he’s been honest in his words of accountability. I’d like to know if it’s been bullshit or if he’s truly been following the advisement of the rest of the government.

According to the agreement, the temporary ceasefire becomes permanent with the return of all hostages.

Biden said the first phase of the proposed deal would would last for six weeks and would include a “full and complete cease-fire,” a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all densely populated areas of Gaza and the release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly and the wounded, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Gaza destruction likely helped push Hamas to soften cease-fire demands, several officials say The second phase would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers, and Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza.

“And as long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, the temporary cease-fire would become, in the words of the Israeli proposal, ‘the cessation of hostilities permanently,’” Biden said.

The third phase calls for the start of a major reconstruction of Gaza, which faces decades of rebuilding from devastation caused by the war. The 4-1/2 page Israeli proposal was transmitted to Hamas on Thursday.

Many of the business failures were systematically manipulative too. He frequently leverages the bankruptcy process to walk with profits and cut losses.
