Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

This is brilliant, and it's not satire! But will the world follow? In a few years time it's just possible the USA might, provided the Constitution allows it and includes the office of President. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

Money is an enabler, not a constrainer. One way or another the UK, like every sovereign country, must be able to make, repair and maintain its own military equipment. That needs steel. Even garden railings were melted down in WW2. www.msn.com/en-gb/money/...

Typical @MailOnline socially divisive propaganda. EV brakes produce emissions that are more toxic than diesel exhausts. Hint - so do diesel brakes. EV owners contribute more to global warming. Hint - because of their generally wealthier life style. www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/n...

Putin is a world class expert at reading character. Why is the world media expressing surprise at the closeness between Putin the architect and Trump the victim of the Moscow honey trap video? Did they miss the surreptitious social engineering Putin used to get Trump into power?

Unless their government comes clean and explains itself, the UK is not a functioning democracy. It is becoming ever more like the USA and other world governments where accountability is a feeble facade, and where corruption and despotism are the order of the day. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The question is why? We are not getting the full story and that could be for one good reason or a whole host of bad ones. If there's a good reason, not telling us achieves nothing. The bad guys will leave us suspecting it's a really bad reason. www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Firemen spend most of their time doing anything rather than their proper job of putting out fires. The right wing UK government will fix that! If you want to protest, please don't light a fire. Write to your MP and try to explain why paying firemen to do nothing is the safe option.

In spite of Israel eliminating all safe areas in Gaza they expect the hostages to be kept safe. In spite of refusing aid to Gaza they expect the hostages to be well cares for. Now Trump says Hamas have nothing more to lose. Some negotiator! www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

One is a photo from a Mess Function - essentially, an evening social, that allows traditional dress. The other from a military inspection. So, the only conclusions that I could draw are not about combat effectiveness, but about the intelligence and motives of the poster. ~AA

Netanyahu and Trump are openly saying the quiet part out loud, admitting to crimes against humanity, to absolutely zero pushback. By backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza, our European 'leaders' have equally stained their hands with Palestinian blood.
