The US and Israel are "actively working" to strip Jordan of its historic custodianship of Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, and are pursuing a new arrangement that would see the management of the revered Muslim site closely align with Israeli interests, multiple sources have told Middle East Eye.

US, Jordanian and Palestinian officials, as well as western and Gulf Arab sources, told MEE that under the plan, championed by President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who has no official role in the administration, and the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, the authority of the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf would abruptly end and a new body created by the Israeli government would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a "multi-faith centre".

According to the officials, all of whom requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, the "new arrangement" would grant Jews "equal access" to the Muslim site and formally allow large-group Jewish prayer.

For example, my car is parked in a single lane driveway, mom's car is in the garage, she opens the garage door, zooms backwards and puts a hole in my front bumper with her trailer hitch. Then she comes inside to wake me up and yell at me. Is that just an extension of narcissism or what words are there to describe someone like that?

Based on the inspiring true story of Lilly Ledbetter, an ordinary Alabama tire factory supervisor who discovers she's being paid less than her male peers. Her fight for fair pay takes her to the Supreme Court and Congress, while powerful forces try to shut her down. Lilly refuses to accept the status quo and has the courage to fight for what is right.

Chapter 1: The Realization

I wake up to my usual gooning session first thing on the morning, looking at my saved posts that i saved for that exact occasion, when i came to a sudden realization. I forgot to save the post of my treasured, since the day i saw it, fanart!

With my gooning session ruined, i have a hole in my chest that i have yet to fill. Begging to the heavens so that my once and still so close to my heart fan art, finds its way to my hands once more.

But god, contrary to its various depictions, it's not fair. Or maybe it was fate itself the one behind these circumstances. Whatever supreme existence is behind those happenings, are truly evil and devoid of any empathy for the human condition and all of its intricacies.

As an atheist that thought assaulted me, deprived me of all rational thoughts that i would otherwise have, due to all the pain the situation brought. Pain, shapes a man.

It truly does.

And then, a thought comes to my mind. A thought so frivolous, so trivial and so minor that if i had not given a little more attention to my introspection, it would go past me. Catching the passing thought and analysing it, i came to a conclusion.

it was truly a blasphemous thought.

The thought was... "Should i goon to another art?".

What a horrible, sad, and absolutely horrendous thought. Devoid of any redeeming quality, that thought came to mind nonchalantly, as unaware of its disgusting nature.

No art would ever have such an effect on me again. That art was.. Special. One of its kind. A masterpiece made by God itself. Enough to make any edging streak end as soon that one placed its eyes upon it, even with the faintest attention. Truly a divine work of art.

Having lost my favorite art, I lost the entirety of my being. How do i can ever proceed with life when i know now the art is just over there, somewhere in this big world, waiting to be found? That is what my guts tell me. No, something deeper in the realm of existence, more hidden in this physical world of ours, more unknown and unnatural than the beings that exist therein, tells me that.

Chapter 2: The End Of The Journey

My eyes, tired of the intermittent and unforgiving exposure to the light of the computer, and all the repeated little movements. Not understanding none of the reasons for its punishment, begged for mercy, that being evidenced by the release of salty and abundant tears, only for it to be cleaned and its existence ignored soon after.

Then, the long, and inescapable suffering finally came to its end. As a message of heavens, brought by god itself, its presence was made known to me. The glorious, glamorous, splendid, wonderful fanart was there, on my face. As i gazed at the art, the art made sure to gaze right back.

It was different and yet the same. It had the same colors, the same shapes, the same lines, but it was not the same as before. Surely there was more to it than its physical existence. Surely, something well beyond the natural world.

It invoked happiness, but not only that, many other things besides emotions in me. Its effects extend well beyond its appearance. it invoked strength and will to live long lost inside me.

But none of that matters. i have found it, i have finally found the reason of my existence since i put my eyes on that masterpiece, that work of art. The effort put was not for naught, and finding solace in that fact, i advanced forward, toward also, the bathroom, as for an art of this level, an act of adoration of the same level must be done.

Damning new data from inside the Pentagon suggests that U.S. forces are currently expending more resources defending Israel from missile strikes than Israeli forces themselves...

Three officials with knowledge of Defense Department assessments told The Washington Post on Thursday that the lopsided effort “underscores the extent to which Washington has shouldered the burden of countering Iranian ballistic missile strikes during Operation Epic Fury.”

U.S. forces, according to those assessments, have used up to half their total inventory of certain high-altitude interceptor systems, while Israel has deployed its own at a slower rate....
The situation has apparently sparked alarm among American allies in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, which depend on U.S. anti-missile defense systems to deter attacks from hostile states such as China and North Korea.

Hostile states, who haven't bothered anyone. Just like Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Syria...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines, even as President Donald Trump said on social media that negotiations were “proceeding nicely.”

The strikes were done “to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” but the military was “using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” Capt. Tim Hawkins, U.S. Central Command spokesman, said in a statement.

Further details were not immediately available, including more specifics on the threats from Iran and what this means for negotiations. Earlier, Trump said any agreement to end the Iran war should include a requirement for several additional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered agreements from Trump’s first term aimed at normalizing relations with Israel.

• How can iodéOS (Lineage fork) be installed on phones with bootloaders locked?
• Why would phones like the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) and Note 9 appear on their list of phone that it can be installed on when it has "no" across the board on this list?
• On phones with the bootloader locked, does it just sit on top of the existing android OS?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I am looking at as many options as possible available with a decent phone and camera long term to move away from Android and Google completely. I have done in the past, but looking for semi long term for when Android becomes locked down.

I just don't understand how they can create an installer that works with bootloader locked phones, and then the OS remain completely secure.

TIA
