Irish teacher has his bank account frozen after refusing to use they/them pronouns when referring to a student. "My account is frozen, I can’t access my money, didn’t receive any notice and had €40,000 in the bank" https://t.co/Wtj4sifQqU

And with a breath, any attribution to Russia of such an attack is discredited
I’ll say this again….there is going to be a major false flag terrorist attack in the United Kingdom, it will be carried out by our own intelligence agencies and Government. NOT Russia. The deep state have lost everything. All they have now is to try start a war. [They] have

The Russia-Ukraine war may well primarily be the outcome of authoritarian decision making under conditions of miscalculation, which reflects the classical problem of dictators only being told what they want to hear

One might point to Russia invading and threatening various countries in CEE, but no.
Swiss politician and expert on Russophobia, Guy Mettan: “If we look in history, Russia never attacked Western Europe. In fact,… Russia was attacked at first by the Teutonic Knights… then the Mongols… the Polish... You have constant invasion coming from the West.”

Could Mr Modi tell us all if he has ever expressed disapproval at the many assassination attempts made by the Russians on the Ukrainian leader Zelensky

Nukes for all! Very stable
John Mearsheimer: "There's no question a nuclear armed Iran would bring stability to the region. If Iran had a nuclear deterrent there's no way the US or Israel would be threatening to attack Iran right now. If you had a Middle-East where other states aside from Israel had a

Even though the story about Ukrainians attacking Putin's dacha is complete BS, it would still be a legitimate military target. Anyway, remember when Russians attempted to assassinate former Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko by poisoning him because of his pro-Western views?

This is well said
@narendramodi Listen up, you piece of shit. For four years, Russians have been killing innocent Ukrainians, raping women, stealing, and destroying an entire country. You piece of trash, you haven't even condemned these war crimes, not once. And now you're all too happy to believe the

Good point. May be better to use AI to cure disease and solve climate problems
Elon Musk: "AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional." Bill Gates: "Humans won't be needed for most things." I have a simple question. Without jobs and income, how will people feed their families, get health care, or pay the rent?

Fascinating quite why he bothers. X is banned in Russia of course
The stinking Kiev bastard is trying to derail the settlement of the conflict. He wants war. Well, now at least he’ll have to stay in hiding for the rest of his worthless life.

In worrying about ‘war mongering rhetoric’ it’s useful to notice what they say in Russia

I agree with this broadly but I’m seeing it a lot. Almost bot like
This is the point. Putin was already obsessed with Russian conquest of Ukraine in 2000. Putin’s comments to Bush show he did nt invade Ukr to stop Nato. He opposed Nato so he cld invade Ukraine.

Yet poverty persists and some has been driven by this ‘golden age’
As Jeff Bezos says, we’re living in an era where multiple golden ages are unfolding at the same time. It’s not just AI. Space travel (which will even make things like building data centers in space possible) and robotics are each in the middle of their own golden age. Bet on

Donald Trump is the first President in your lifetime that actually cares about you. Your whole life you have been socially engineered by the DeepState cabal, Hollywood , the lying media , politicians etc and for the first time in your life you have a president who is trying to

America imports low margin low value products from Canada and experts high margin high value products. This multiples the damage tariffs do the US on a $ for $ basis.
Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money ... we don't need anything from Canada." (March 2025) @atrupar

POTUS is right that Greenland deeply matters to US national security. Its geography anchors the North Atlantic and Arctic approaches to the homeland, shapes early-warning and missile defense, and sits at the crossroads of growing Russian and Chinese activity in the high North.

It’s one thing to say you’d like to buy Greenland from Denmark. To deny the current right of Denmark to Greenland - even question it - is dangerous even if people now tune this out
Trump on Greenland: Denmark is really far away and really has nothing to do— What happened is a boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don’t know it that’s true. I don’t think it is.. @Acyn (2025) https://t.co/SMZDZGgfBd

I find it very odd that JD Vance is more concerned about the possibility of French & British nukes falling into the wrong hands than he is about Russian & Chinese nukes currently being in enemy hands.
