On March 7th Russian security services said they had foiled an attack by Islamic State (IS), a jihadist outfit, on a synagogue in Moscow.

 The U.S. is once again on the cusp of banning TikTok. After last week’s House vote, TikTok is just a Senate vote away from being barred from operating in the U.S. — pending a sale, of course.

The use of such language, the report said, transformed "everything and everyone into either a target or collateral damage, hence killable or destroyable".

 Don\'t forget about health care changes. Jeremy Finger, the CEO and founder of Riverbend Wealth Management in South Carolina, recommends checking with your health insurance company to make sure you retain benefits in your new location. “Both private health insurance for younger retirees and Medicare Advantage plans have specific service areas,” said Finger, a certified financial planner. “Retirees moving out of the service area will need to find a new plan, which could mean more expensive premiums and increased out-of-pocket costs.” WorkWorkTrump team takes sparring with Biden into vulgar territory.
