I need help. I use Brave as my primary browser for privacy reasons. While I was watching a game this evening, the computer arbitrarily decided to take my taskbar and tabs from the top andn put them on the left side of the screen. How do I put it back the way it was?

I'm originally from the United States, but I've lived in Germany for over 11 years. Moving to Germany was not necessarily an extreme culture shock, but many things have surprised me — especially when it comes to raising my three kids, who have all been born here.

Former President Trump on Tuesday morning suggested his criminal case over a hush money payment during the 2016 campaign should be moved out of Manhattan to nearby Staten Island, an idea his own attorney dismissed days earlier as premature. “Very unfair venue, with some areas that voted 1% Republican. This case should be moved to nearby Staten Island – Would be a very fair and secure location for the trial,” Trump wrote on Truth Social hours before he was set to be arraigned in Manhattan. In the 2020 election, 57 percent of Staten Island voters backed Trump, compared to 42...

The U.S. Census Bureau reported Thursday that 300,000 people left California in 2022, more than left any other state, amid a general slow increase in the U.S. population as the country recovered from COVID-19. The estimates cover the period from July 2021 to July 2022. It was the third consecutive annual decline for California, the Sacramento Bee noted, though births outnumbered deaths.

WASHINGTON, DC – Justice Samuel Alito has reportedly been moved to an undisclosed location for safety, after leftwing radicals attempting to intimidate conservative justices for considering overruling Roe v.

EXCLUSIVE/ Two independent sources told EurActiv.com that the US has started transferring nuclear weapons stationed in Turkey to Romania, against the background of worsening relations between Washington and Ankara . According to one of the sources, the transfer has been very challenging in technical and political terms. “It’s not easy to move 20+ nukes,” said the source, on conditions of anonymity. According to a recent report by the Simson Center, since the Cold War, some 50 US tactical nuclear weapons have been stationed at Turkey’s Incirlik air base, approximately 100 kilometres from the Syrian border. During the failed coup in...

Had to do it. Mother-in-law came to live after dad-in-law died. We had the only available ground-floor, no-stairs apartment in good condition, and the landlady sold it out from under us. And then there was the fact that mom-in-law is too old to learn Hebrew and has nothing to do there. So we've moved to Efrat, a/k/a "Little America", where Hebrew is not required, and where there's free transportation to the senior's center in Alon Shevut near by. Oh, and the link is to a book I wrote that I highly don't care if anyone buys, except for the money...

Negotiations on a debt ceiling increase broke down when President Obama made a late push for additional tax increases House Speaker John Boehner said late Friday, countering the president's account of the swiftly-deteriorating talks. Moments after Obama professed to be puzzled at Republicans' unwillingness to accept "an extraordinarily fair deal," Boehner said it was the president who scuttled the plan. "The White House moved the goal posts," he said, with Obama demanding $400 billion in revenues beyond what the two had already agreed to. "It's the president who walked away from his agreement and demanded more money at the last...

During his first post-election broadcast Wednesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh pushed back against certain GOP establishment criticisms that the tea party should have nominated more moderate candidates. It’s the Democrats who have lessons to learn from this election, says Limbaugh, not the tea party:

On September 24 the F.B.I. raided the homes of several leftist activists across the U.S.A. looking for links to foreign terrorist organizations. Most if not all of those raided or questioned were members of the "Fightback" faction of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Formed from several Maoist factions in 1986, Freedom Road split in the late 1990s two form two distinct organizations of the the same name. The "Fightback" group publishes a newspaper of that name and is strongest in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

For those of you who followed my every word raptly (sarc) and wondered where I went--I'm back. Moved from NJ to SC and already saving tons of money. I hope "sickoflibs" picks this up and adds me to his list of "regulars". It's so good to be back. Especially given the conservative tidal wave overtaking the country. Come on November!!

Move the mosque! Seven in ten New Yorkers say the proposed mosque/Islamic community center near Ground Zero should be relocated because of opposition from 9/11 families — and an equal number want state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to probe the group’s finances, a new statewide poll released today found. “Overwhelmingly — across party and regional lines — New Yorkers say the sponsors ought to voluntarily move the proposed mosque to another location,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. The survey of 1,497 of New York residents found: * 54 percent agree that “freedom of religion” gives Muslims...

I would like to suggest that Obamessiah say concerning the Pig/Lipstick controversy, "If you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty--and the pig enjoys it." This would be a perfect retort--as far as I am concerned.

With the doubling of the reward for the capture of Osama Bin Laden, the Times wishes to reiterate our commitment to the security and secrecy of operations of the United States Armed Forces. We will therefore, through anonymous sources, publish only those areas to be searched, which special forces units will be involved in the search, the names/aliases of the key coalition informants in the area, the location of their immediate family members, the specific villages to be searched, specific tribal warlords to be questioned and the ammunition to be used by the 31 aircraft to be used in the...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2006 -- President Bush today announced the transfer of 14 high-value terrorist detainees from CIA custody to confinement at the Defense Department’s detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and that he asked Congress to authorize military commissions to try them.     Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi bin al-Shibh and 11 other accused terrorists previously held by the CIA will be held in Cuba and await trial, Bush told a White House audience that included some family members of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.   Mohammed is believed to...

NEW ORLEANS – A slow exodus from the smelly and sweltering Superdome began Wednesday as refugees boarded giant trucks and then buses for a trip to more comfortable surroundings in the Houston Astrodome. The evacuation was kept almost secret to avoid a stampede. People were taken a few at a time through a garage, then to trucks that plowed through 4 feet of water and delivered them to the buses. People with physical problems were evacuated Wednesday morning, loaded into a variety of vehicles and taken to a triage center in Baton Rouge. The evacuation of the more able-bodied began...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - An animal rights activist who dodged federal authorities for years was moved to a more secure cell after he was sent what might be an escape plan in the mail, authorities said Tuesday. Sheriff's deputies said they intercepted a drawing of a courtroom marked "escape route" in Peter Daniel Young's mail July 6. They moved him from a medium security dormitory to the Dane County Jail the same day, sheriff's spokeswoman Elise Schaffer said. The drawing was vague and didn't seem to represent any specific courtroom, Schaffer said, but "it was seen as a possible security...

A 10-million-ton pile of radioactive waste that has been polluting the Colorado River for decades will be moved under a plan announced yesterday by the U.S. Department of Energy. The decision comes after years of heated and emotional debate over what to do with the pile, which sits 750 feet from the river near the tourist town of Moab, Utah. The decision is being hailed as an environmental victory that will safeguard the drinking water of more than 25 million people, including most San Diego County residents. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman notified the department's Office of Environmental Management of his...
