Trump announced for the first time the actual figures of US aid to Ukraine: America provided $67 billion in military aid & $31.5 billion in direct budget support. The total amount of US aid to Ukraine is $98.5 billion, and not $350 billion, as Trump previously stated. He's a liar...

Happy Discovery Day to the British South Shetland Islands, discovered this day, February 19th, 1819 by William Smith and still 206 years later, forming part of British Antarctica. Smith Island in the British Antarctic Archipelago still bears his name.

Trump and Musk have FIRED the Federal Workers at the Veterans Crisis Hotline... More blood on their hands. This is the same Trump who branded the American dead of Omaha beach as "losers".

One of my readers and a good friend, Peter Corridan, just sent me this as his book arrived. "Phoenix & Belgrano: The Life and Death of a Warship" was easily one of the best books I've ever written. My first WW2/Falklands war crossover, which traced the history of USS Phoenix/ ARA General Belgrano.

One serious accusation of r*pe plus 25 other accusations, and evidence of him actually noncing kids at Epstein's parties (this girl is 14 at most) yet this man told you the biggest threat to women was trans women in public bathrooms... No it is not. It's rich white guys who can pay top lawyers.
