Biden camp posts graphic with Trump pictured next to Hitler

President Joe Biden’s campaign on Wednesday posted a graphic directly comparing former president Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler, replete with images of the two men on each side.The graphic, shared in a post on X, marks an even more aggressive turn in a highly charged attempt by the Biden campaign to link its likely Republican general election opponent with the Nazi leader. And it foreshadows how central the attack line is likely to be as part of the president’s efforts to win reelection.Under the banner “TRUMP PARROTS HITLER,” the graphic lists three quotes from the 45th president next to those from Nazi leader. “Immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country,’” read one Trump quote. Below it read a partial quote from Hitler: “’Contamination of the blood’ by ‘an inferior race’ will lead to the fall of Germany.”“This is not a coincidence,” the Biden campaign tweeted.Comparing a political opponent to Hitler was once nearly verboten in political campaigns. But it has become routine ...Were your package deliveries stolen? What to know about porch piracy and what you can do about it

NEW YORK (AP) — You found the perfect holiday gift online. You ordered it. A notification arrived on your phone, showing the package had arrived. But when you open your doors, the parcel is nowhere to be found. If this has happened to you, then count yourself among the unlucky group of shoppers who fall victim to package thefts — or porch piracy, as its commonly known. Here’s what you should know about the issue, and what to do if it happens to you. How big of a problem is porch piracy?It’s hard to tell. Most police departments don’t track package theft in its own category, which means there’s a lack of national data. The FBI’s figures do show burglary offenses and larceny-theft — a category that includes shoplifting, pickpocketing, and instances of package theft — have decreased overall in the last 20-plus years. But since both categories are broad and the agency doesn’t keep tabs on specific incidents of package thefts, it’s challenging to know whether the proble...Occupational cancers in the EU: A closer look
Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 22:00:13 GMT
Occupational cancer is the term given to cancers caused by exposure to carcinogenic factors in the working environment, generally due to long-term exposure. Many cancer cases present themselves several years after the exposure took place, in some cases over 40 years. Between 2013 and 2021, a total of 33 712 cases of occupational cancers were officially recognised in the EU. However, numbers for 2020 (3 093) and 2021 (3 258) were lower than the 2013-2019 average (3 909 cases per year), due to the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on general public services and healthcare systems.Source dataset: hsw_occ_cnrDelving deeper into the data reveals that the most common types of occupational cancer are lung cancer, mesothelioma (a type of cancer connected to asbestos exposure, which develops in the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs, known as the mesothelium) and bladder cancer.Malignant neoplasms of the bronchus and lung had the highest number of cases, wit...Dear Abby: Am I awful for living well while my daughter flounders?

(CNN En Español) — Sus premios son menos suculentos que otras loterías, pero la ilusión y el fervor que genera entre la población no tiene igual. En España, el Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad, cuyos orígenes se remontan a 1812, es uno de los eventos más arraigados en la cultura popular española, y para muchos supone el pistoletazo de salida de las fiestas navideñas.A medida que se acerca el 22 de diciembre, fecha de su celebración, las administraciones de lotería empiezan a recibir más y más clientes que desean hacerse con uno o varios décimos (la unidad de participación más pequeña que uno puede adquirir de forma oficial). Pero no todos los locales tienen el mismo imán.En Doña Manolita, una de las administraciones más famosas de toda España que se sitúa en pleno centro de Madrid, las filas de espera pueden ser kilométricas. Hay quien incluso llega antes de que abra para asegurarse un turno en la fila, como Celia, una joven que dejó su isla natal de Ibiza para estudiar en Ma...Joey Daccord matches franchise record with 42 saves, Kraken hold off Kings 2-1
