We all want to recognise Palestine, says Danish minister
Recognising the state of Palestine is a question of timing, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen has said, according to Reuters. The news agency quoted Rasmussen as saying: "We all want to recognise Palestine, so it is a question of timing." Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has made similar comments, stating that her country is waiting for the right moment to recognise the state of Palestine. Finnish President Alexander Stubb announced earlier this month that the country was willing to recognise Palestine. Countries including the UK, France, Canada and Malta have said they will recognise Palestine in the upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Joe Biden threw open the border to rig the census — and elections for Democrats
We know that the Biden administration deliberately broke the border and ushered in over 20 million illegal aliens, at a huge cost to the nation's social welfare system, and with a reckless disregard for potential criminality and terrorism. Exactly why they did it has always been the burning question. A new Rasmussen poll gives us a clue. It's the census. Advertisement There is mounting evidence that the Biden administration tried to cook the books to give Democrats an unfair advantage, which explains why a minority of Democrats (43% compared to 83% Republicans) approve of President Trump's decision to take a new census that excludes illegal aliens from the population count. Illegal migrants have always been included in the census, so blue states like California, Texas, New York and New Jersey, that bore the brunt of Biden's influx, get increased representation, which means more Congressional seats for Democrats, more Electoral College votes for Democrats, and more funding for Democrats. Meanwhile, Democrat proxy-NGOs, not to mention federal agencies under Biden, like FEMA, were registering them to vote, even though they are not eligible. That's why Democrats fought tooth and nail to prevent voter ID so that ineligible non-citizens could vote. Further down the track, they figured that amnesty would net them tens of millions of new Democrat voters — at least for a generation or so. Advertisement But that was just the icing on the cake. The census was the immediate payoff, and they didn't care how many illegal aliens raped, murdered, robbed, or extorted American citizens. They didn't care that the social safety net in cities like New York was collapsing under the weight of all these new supplicants. Slave labor wages that undercut American workers only make sense if the state picks up the cost of room and board and health care for the slaves. It was the Census that would give Democrats more power, and in April 2021, when Biden Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced the 2020 Census results, we started to see 'errors' that mostly only went one way. Red states like Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee were undercounted while blue states like New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Minnesota, and Joe Biden's home state of Delaware had overcounts, skewing political representation and funding allocation. Advertisement 'The miscounts … particularly given that overrepresentation appears to have tended to noticeably skew in favor of one political party over another, demands additional scrutiny of potential political influence by the Biden-Harris Administration or other deficiencies that would explain these errors,' House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote in a letter to the Census Bureau last year.

Check out more newsletters Rasmussen teased out public attitudes to these 'errors' with a poll of 1,184 likely voters conducted on August 11-13. Just 37% of Democrats said illegal migrants should not be counted in the census, while 49% said they should, and 13% weren't sure. By contrast, 65% of Republicans wanted illegal immigrants excluded, while a mystifying 29% wanted them to be counted. Advertisement On the question of Trump ordering up a new census to replace the error-ridden 2020 pandemic version, 57% of voters approved while 34% disapproved. Of those, a whopping 83% of Republicans were in favor compared to 43% of Democrats. The fact is, even before Comer conducts his investigation, before all the evidence is in, Democrat voters instinctively know that the census hoax benefited their side.

Raleigh hits MLB-leading 43rd homer in 8th to rally Mariners to a 3-2 win over Rays
SEATTLE -- Cal Raleigh hit his MLB-leading 43rd homer of the season, a go-ahead three-run shot in the eighth inning, giving the Seattle Mariners a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. The Mariners won their fifth consecutive game and remained 1 1/2 games behind the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Raleigh erased Seattle's two-run deficit with a 417-foot shot to right-center field off Griffin Jax (1-6) after singles by J.P. Crawford and Cole Young. Raleigh homered for the first time since July 31 against Texas. He leads Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber by two homers. Schwarber hit his 41st homer Friday. Carlos Vargas (4-5) worked a scoreless eighth and Matt Brash earned his second save of the season, striking out all three batters in the ninth. Rasmussen allowed four hits over six shutout innings, striking out four and walking none. Pitching in his home state, Rasmussen yielded one earned run across 20 1/3 innings in his career against Seattle. Brandon Lowe hit a solo homer in the first and Junior Caminero hit his 31st homer of the season in the fifth to give Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead. Luis Castillo surrendered two runs on five hits in seven innings. He struck out five and walked none. The Mariners finally got their first runner in scoring position in the eighth after Young's single that moved Crawford to second. Rasmussen has allowed only two extra-base hits over his last five starts. Seattle didn't have a runner in scoring position against the lefty.
