ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Mark. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I need some ammo to help me win this argument with my wife. We’ve got a ten-year-old car that we’ve been letting my daughter use until she graduated. That time has come, and she’s now off to college. Right now, people are paying way more than cars are worth to get inventory on their lots, and I want to sell that car. My wife’s insisting that we keep it, though, just in case our daughter needs it. She’s moving three states away from us and living on campus…where she doesn’t need a car. I say there’s no reason we shouldn’t get an extra $15K for ourselves by selling it, but my wife insists we need to keep it “just in case” our “little girl” needs it. To that, I suggested we sell it to her for $11K, and you’d think I’d just told my wife that she had lipstick on her teeth in front of her boss. Am I...

While Ireland ends up last on the list on its support for Israel, followed by Spain, support for Israel is more common in the new EU member states. Among the four largest EU member states, Italy and Poland score some of the highest points in support for Israel, which is also symptomatic for the fact that they are currently governed by the right-wing parties.For many years, political commentators have been asking themselves how is the European Parliament relating to issues related to Israel.The answer to this question was given on Tuesday (25 April) in the framework of the presentation in Brussels of the first ever survey on the support for Israel among the 199 national political parties represeented in the European Parliament.The survey, commissioned by the European Coa...

In another post, Trump claimed that “President Ronald Reagan would not approve” of Ryan chairing the library’s board.Of note, Ryan is Reagan’s former chief of staff and served on his re-election team as well as in other capacities.“I see that everybody is talking about the Republican debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump campaign, before announcing them,” Trump said. “When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile networks with angry Trump & MAGA hitting...
