@Net Spinster Are you saying the last count had 1,356 family units this year, but there were 440 units last year?
No: of the 5,138 homeless people 1356 were members of families with children. Those 1356 (of whom 855 were children) made up 440 families (which could be one adult one child or more than that).
Thank you for the clarification. No dispute here. I have been involved in the homeless count in Spokane over several years. If anything, I always felt it undercounted the real numbers. Even the Housing and Urban Development Department admits it is not an exact count. But, it is what we have.
People talking here on CBC about Trump going to say to Putin he gets to keep Ukraine parts of it that Russians conquered if Trump gets Putins oil and mineral stuff and whatever. Those are 2 bad guys there. Sell out land because your greedy.

For fans of ultra-lowbrow political insult, MAGA grandees Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer are currently having an exchange on X that sounds like it was transcribed from the walls of a washroom stall.
This is probably best kept as a "google it yourself". For now I'll just wonder if CrossFit gym is happy for the free advertising.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is likely the most vocal Israel-skeptic in the House Republican Caucus, a position the pro-Israel Loomer views as rooted in antisemitism. So when Loomer says that "Jews forced Marjorie Taylor Greene to [perform certain allegedly immoral actions]", the meaning is likely that MTG wants people to believe that Jews are responsible for her own moral failings, not that they actually are.

I think Zionists calling Marjorie "Jewish Space Lasers" Taylor Greene antisemitic comes under the heading of 'accidentally correct'.

I carry no brief for either; but I think in her own way MTG is positioning herself for holding attention and being there after Trump is gone, whereas Loomer is focused on the shorter term strategy of 'doing slurs and publicity stunts'.

Yeah, being so openly and vocally Israel-skeptical would be a good niche position for MTG in the Republican Party. Though perhaps a little TOO niche, if the party as a whole won't tolerate that view.
(This is a party whose leader tries to ban antisemitism while simultaneously complaining about "Shylock" bankers, so who knows.)
And AFAICT, Loomer doesn't actually occupy any political office outside of "hanger-on in Trump's circles", so yes, this is probably just about advancing her career as a media shock-jock.

Or "Any idiot can see that. As indeed you did"
