If any of you have adolescents (especially girls) in your lives who also have access to an iOS system, they may like this "game" about the Canadian] Japanese internment from WWII, told in first person from the perspective of a 17 year old, voiced by the real person's grandaughter.

It's free until March 8th. What I've seen and heard of it looks good, but I don't have an iOS system to play it on.

https://womenintheworld.com/2017/12/19/817-serial-rapists-in-1-county-identified-from-evidence-collected-in-10000-rape-kits-that-were-abandoned/

More than 11,000 unprocessed rape kits in Wayne County, Michigan. A prosecutor, upon learning of them, has gotten 10,000 of them processed and found 817 serial rapists. 817 in one county!!

There are more than 400,000 unprocessed rape kits around the country.

If men had been the victims, you can bet those kits would have been processed.

Nothing in the polls cited in the article support either of these two opinions.

Nothing in the polls cited in the article support either of these two opinions.

Americans are now much more likely to approve of Mr Trump as president than in January, rising from 37 per cent approval to 43 per cent.

His overall approval rating is approaching that of former president Bill Clinton at the 775th day of their presidencies, according to FiveThirtyEight, which aggregates polls.

His star is on the rise.

Fair enough.  But the numbers do not support the Murdoch-owned websites editorial conclusions.

Trump is on track to win reelection

Good.
He's the only one willing to stand up to NK, China, Russia, Iran etc...
...and secure America's borders.

You are such a fool.

New satellite images of North Korea suggest it is restoring a rocket launch site it had pledged to dismantle, say analysts.

The images were taken two days after talks between the leaders of the US and North Korea ended without them reaching a deal on denuclearisation.

Trump: I'm in no hurry to see North Korea denuclearize

Yeah, that sure is standing up to North Korea!

https://www.rt.com/news/452982-russia-suspends-inf-treaty/

Putin formally suspended the INF treaty, rather than working to 'repair' their failures, with threats to deploy new fast missiles if the US puts new missiles in Europe.

Separately, the US weakened sanctions put against Russia for their seizure of Crimea.

Yeah, that sure is standing up to Russia!

Meanwhile, the US is the only country in violation of the Iran treaty. Every other signer is still involved.

Yeah, that sure is being tough on Iran! Brought them to their knees!

You are such a fool.

Here's the 538 polling data for your "star" on the rise:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo

When you look at it, note the most recent direction. DOWN over the last 9 days. Yes, he is up since his previous downturn, but he was this high or higher for roughly 2 and a half months in October through December.

Here's Bill Clinton's Gallup polling data. If you scroll down you can see the equivalent time period in more detail. Clinton was never as far down as Trump has been. His average for his first term was about 50. Trump would need to average close to 60 for the remainder of this term to get there and contrary to your bogus optimism, there is no reason to think he is getting there.

Bill Weld.

Anybody the Dems nominate or might nominate.

Gary Johnson.

Even Jill Stein. (shudder)
