Poland Closes Border Checkpoint As Tensions With Belarus Escalate Over Migration Policies

Tensions between the countries have continued to grow not only as a result of the border patrol situation but because Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko encouraged migrants to illegally enter Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, their bordering European Union nations. For months, thousands of migrants have attempted to illegally enter Poland, many getting stuck in a swampy forested area and pushed back and forth by Polish and Belarusian forces. According to Major Katarzyna Zdanowicz from the region’s border guards, about 3,000-4,000 migrants were along the border, including 800 in the vicinity of a large makeshift camp....

Police Make Unexpected Discovery Investigating Report Of Skeletal Remains

Such was the case with a call made last week to the Converse Police Department in Texas. Officials from Converse, located within about 15 miles of San Antonio, later published a Facebook post about supposed “skeletal remains” being reported in the area. Officers were dispatched to the area of FM 1516 and Binz-Engleman Road to investigate. The eerie report was quickly verified to be a hoax as police realized the skeleton in question was just a plastic prop....

Polish Diplomat Fired After Calling Nation S Holocaust Law Stupid To Jewish News Outlet

U.K. newspaper Jewish News published an interview with Polish plenipotentiary Jaroslaw Nowak last week where the diplomat discussed a new amendment to the country’s Act on the Institute of National Remembrance. The law, which is meant to prevent Poland from being held responsible for any contributions made by the government during the Holocaust, was called “one of the stupidest amendments ever to appear in the law” by Nowak. He also said that the country would have to admit to their wrongdoings “at some point” in the future....

Political Incumbency It S Complicated Opinion

In the United States, roughly 90 percent of incumbents can expect re-election, even when their constituents are dissatisfied with their performance, or partisan shifts would have otherwise put them at a disadvantage. That incumbency boost overwhelmingly benefits men, since men hold nearly a super majority of elected positions in the U.S. Women currently hold only 27.1 percent of seats in Congress, 31 percent in statewide elected office, 31.3 percent in state legislatures and 25....

Political Lives Hell Week

The Jim Jeffords fiasco is getting all the (digital) ink, but it capped a week that already was adding up to a bad one for the Bush White House. On Monday, Cheney and his wife hosted hundreds of Republican fat cats at the vice president’s residence, an official, taxpayer-owned home on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory. It was a piece of political theater that the Bushies should have been smart enough to avoid....

Political Lives Protests Let President Know That He S Right

I don’t know what the president was thinking, of course, when, with a characteristic frown and bite of the cheek, he noted that “evidently some of the world don’t view Saddam Hussein as a risk to peace. I respectfully disagree.” But I’ve covered Bush long enough to make an educated guess. Here it is. Shaped by the Yale of the ’60s and by his own father’s career, the president views the demonstrators as weak-willed moral relativists, afraid to take on–as only faith-filled and freedom-loving leaders can–forces of evil on earth....

In the video, which has since been heavily disparaged on social media, Trudeau addresses the camera, saying “Years from now, I want to look my kids in the eyes and say we stepped up in the fight against climate change....

Polls Show Increasing Support For Defunding The Police But Most Americans Still Against It
