A decent, fair & strong president would have rolled out the red carpet to a figure who has more class and courage than any other world leader today. Trump is Lilliputian by contrast.
Notice how the animals of the Trump regime did not even bother to welcome President Zelensky. The hero of the free world was met by the stuff of the Ukrainian embassy. This is how America's allies are being treated.

Israeli women working out and singing along to a genocidal song, "May Your Village Burn." Till this day, most Western states have yet to ask the obvious question: How is everyone else supposed to live in peace next to a society exhibiting this level of genocidal malady?

Why stop at only once? It needs to be said again and again. And again.
Saying this only once. Like many, I have relatives that fought in past World War(s) so that c*nts like Nigel Farage were stopped from spreading their divisive rhetoric. Farage is a one trick pony. Whose only interest is self promotion and sowing division. A traitor. #bbcqt

For those of you still fighting me on this one thinking it was real. Trumps just been shot but hereās the Secret Service guiding photographers around ignoring danger to get the famous photo while the crane operator lowers the flag into position ignoring the danger. Staged event
When Iām educating people about psyops being played on them I always say the easiest way to tell if something was faked is if it canāt be recreated again. In other words I, as a former sniper, cannot shoot a persons ear with an AR 15 and leave no scar. Itās impossible. Fact.š«”

You should not be afraid of someone who has a library and reads many books; you should fear someone who has only one book; and he considers it sacred, but he has never read it.

And Farage is just the same. All Brexiters blame everyone but themselves for absolutely everything. Brexit was always a movement exclusively made up of cowards.

As another Russian submarine is disabled, limping off the coast of Europe, just a reminder that the last time Putin had a submarine catastrophe he had the mothers of the dead sailors drugged when they raised a ruckus at the press conference.

2025 will mark a watershed date in publishing. Up till then, you can be more or less certain that the vast majority books havenāt been written with the assistance of AI. From now on, thoughā¦
52% of new articles are AI-generated. Thereās no reason to think this wonāt continue. Writing is going to become a boutique craft, something quaint people do as historical reennactment.
