Hope the Pope recovers and sending thoughts and prayers to my Catholic brothers and sisters in this moment of uncertainty.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

"Conquerer" is not a word you often hear uttered by leaders of democratic nations tbh...

Once Israel runs out of Arabs to kill, and the US has run out of immigrants and LGBTQ folks, this administration will go after the American Jews. And then I guess it'll just be the women left to deal with...

Trump's too stupid to realise what an idiot he is...

From a UK perspective, it would be great if seeing lots of fat leopards and faceless Americans finally convinced right-wing voters that simply making life harder for others does absolutely nothing to improve the quality of their own lives...

But this seems like a superb way to get to that Appointments Clause standing.

The banter response would be to reply and include a sentence saying that they need to justify your pay level and, if they do not respond with 24 hours, it will be taken as agreement to double your salary.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

AFD won't come anywhere near government, but it is still a big moment for German voters. Do they want to signal that they are racist poodles willing to vote for a party backed by an unelected billionaire American lunatic. Or do they want to vote for literally anyone else. #GermanElections

Musk, Trump and Vance's blatant treason shows they have no intention of allowing voters to remove them from power, because the risk of prosecution would be far too high. They will seek to establish a dictatorship before the 2026 mid-term elections.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

Trump was keen to nuke Tehran first time around. No-one to discourage him this time around.

I feel like we’re weeks away from seeing Trumpers do this en masse at a rally

250+ leading British Jews call on BBC to restore documentary it deleted to please Israel lobby groups …Reject propagandists’ ‘cynical’ complaints, broadcaster told www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/jewi...

Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

What this purge tells anyone not white is to avoid the US armed forces. You'll never be promoted to senior ranks and instead simply be deployed as disposable cannon-fodder.

Western media happily sleep-walking the general population into accepting Trump as God-Emperor.

Forget tariffs, there are more important reasons to limit the import of US produce...

Some things to know about General Brown: - 41 years of military service - F16 fighter pilot and instructor with 3000 flight hours, 130 in combat - Master’s in aeronautical science - son of a U.S. Army colonel and Vietnam veteran - grandson of a WW2 veteran

We have little if any influence any more as voters, but we underestimate our power as informed and principled consumers.

I wonder how many members of this Man Utd squad will still be there at the start of next season? Poor.

I hope all of those sacked military types in the US are going to spend some time building their own, well-regulated, militia. They may yet be needed.

Simple question for Nigel Farage: "Would you support retaliation against the Trump administration if its policies endangered the jobs and security of UK citizens?"

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

I fear this oath will soon be tested.

Given that Fraser Nelson is apparently shocked by the outcomes of his actions, let's remind ourselves of the pipeline used to inject poison into the political mainstream. Goes something like this...

Interesting to see whether our more moderate politicians are able to convince Reform-sympathetic types that Farage is just Trump's plaything...

That Fraser Nelson piece is so incoherent. I mean, how you can write this with a straight face?

It’s called Gleichschaltung. And German history shows us where it can end. Again: we have the knowledge; we have the right words. That the US could still get to this point is such a terrible failure.

Michael Young coined the phrase "meritocracy" as satire, and then he fathered Toby Young in case people didn't get the joke.

Why do we only ever see live pictures of the hostages of one side in an exchange being released?

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

Time to invest in truly sovereign clouds, and pause the movement of any more CNI services to US-owned cloud services.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
