Prominent anti-Hamas militia leader Yasser Abu Shabab killed

Posted by TigerintheNO on 12/7/25 at 1:43 pm

quote:
A prominent Palestinian militia leader in Gaza who opposed Hamas has been killed.

Yasser Abu Shabab headed the so-called Popular Forces group, which has dozens of fighters and operates in Israeli-controlled territory near the southern city of Rafah.

The Popular Forces said in a statement that Abu Shabab was shot while "attempting to resolve a dispute" between members of the Abu Seneima family. It dismissed as "misleading" reports that he was killed by Hamas, which had accused him of collaborating with Israel.

quote:
The statement from the Popular Forces pledged to continue on Abu Shabab's "path until the last terrorist is eliminated from the soil of Gaza and a bright and secure future is built for our people, who believe in peace".

Catholic Church is showing growth in Asia and Africa. Europe trails South America and Asia in the numbers of Catholics.

re: Prague travel advice

Posted by TigerintheNO on 12/7/25 at 11:19 am to Upperaltiger06

Great city, but get up early it gets crowded around the bridge, clock, old town square.

The castle is awesome, we did a medieval dinner which was better than expected, also recommend the river cruise.

Beer is cheaper than bottled water there.

But it was unanimous when the US declared war on Romania, which was the last time the United States declared war.

You are a day early, Pearl attack happened on the 7th, but

United States didn't declare war until the 8th, one hour after FDR's speech.

re: Edna Karr - Recruiting Stomping Ground

but can they go into Jefferson, st charles and plaquemines parish being an orleans charter?

No, but the westbank is a little different. Algiers is the only part of the westbank that isn't Jefferson Parish, until you get to Belle Chasse.

Algiers has some of the better academic schools. I live down the street from the elementary school (Harte) that feeds into Karr. Really good school, a few years ago parents who couldn't get their children into Harte got upset. They waited outside carpool and posted on the Nextdoor neighbor app that nearly 20% of cars didn't have Orleans Parish brake tags. One parent lives in Gretna, Terrytown, Harvey..., the other in New Orleans, they will just use the Orleans Parish paperwork. It not just athletes doing this, it starts in preK.

No magic, they don't even have to recruit the kids.

Its actually ingenuous what they do, InspireNola the charter system that Karr belongs to has their middle schools athletic directors host a middle school sports league. Then they allow schools outside their charter (Behrman, Ben Franklin, Elan...) to play in the league for free. Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Flag Football, Cabbageball, Track.

Now guess where they play the games? The InspireNola highschools(Karr & 35), both have brand new state of the art buildings. So of course those kids are going to pick them in Oneap.

re: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to adopt more "INCLUSIVE" and "EQUITABLE" credit scores

Paywall. Can you post text?

I’m surprised if the Trump Administration is letting this happen.

Trump administration is behind this, basically it allows rent/utilities/student loan payments to count toward your credit score, more people who have made on time payments will now qualify. From the article-

quote:
The FHFA under the Biden administration had proposed moving to a bi-merge credit reporting system, which TransUnion has said could hurt borrowers with poor credit.

In ordering Fannie and Freddie to start accepting VantageScore 4.0 in July, Pulte said the FHFA would stick with tri-merge reporting, for now.
