Posting that Boomers are too stupid to follow the news is a good way to be muted/blocked by the millions of Boomers who are here. Just sayin'...

English labour leader in Scotland too important to meet with the Union leaders to discuss Grangemouth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was there for Labour in Scotland Anas Sarwar's conference speech. Here's my verdict www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

The people insisting that the US needs to stop supporting Ukraine because the Ukrainians are nazis are also the same people who applaud Elon Musk and Steve Bannon for making nazi salutes.

Steve Bannon was applauded at CPAC after he gave a Nazi salute followed by an “amen.” Elon gave one too. Believe your own eyes & ears. Conservatives have aligned themselves with the ideology that used gas chambers to murder millions.

Steve Bannon was not 'accused of giving a Nazi salute'. He gave a Nazi salute. It was absolutely clear and unmistable for what it was. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

French far right leader Jordan Bardella cancelled his speech at the CPAC conference after Steve Bannon made a nazi salute. When you're too far-right for the French far-right, you're not just cos-playing the nazis to 'own the libs'. You are an actual nazi. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Frances' far-right leader cancels US speech after Steve Bannon made a gesture that is considered to be a Natzi salute on Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). share.newsbreak.com/bnc7q1ws

Nazi salutes are having a moment. Our critic weighs in. Steve Bannon’s offered precise form worthy of 1930s Germany, but Elon Musk’s honored the drug-fueled mania of the original Nazis.

Fake. Lies. Manipulations. Job losses. Poverty. Sickness. Deaths. Trump policies.

The most heinous, if not criminal, failure of the Scottish media in general and public broadcasters in particular to inform the public in Scotland of the dangers these English gangs represent talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/21/t...

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

Good news for SNHS- so obviously totally ignored by BBC Misreporting Scotland talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/20/w...

I do try to be tolerant and understanding, but it’s mighty difficult now that I seem to have dropped into an alternate universe full of rampant Nazi’s. #scottishindependence truly is our only defence.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

"In the middle of the 18th century, Europe went through what is known today as the Diplomatic Revolution. The Hapsburg Empire, centred around Austria, and which had been allied with Britain against its long-term rival France, swapped sides..."

Put them all in jail.

Exclusive: Foot traffic fell at Target after it backtracked on DEI But Costco, which refused to retreat on DEI, saw traffic increase. Good! www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Target could not have been more foolish capitulating on DEI when they didn't have to. They were the cool bargain store where broke people including a lot of people of color went to have stylish things & made a big show of selling products by diverse creators. They did not read the room & they paid.

Beautiful and just what I needed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ7o...
