Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

Trump says that if he loses the tariff case in the Supreme Court, the U.S. will be forced to return trillions of dollars to foreign nations. The only problem is that foreign countries don’t pay the tariffs. Americans do. Trump is not a president but a naive village idiot.

If you think about it, his murder being completely forgotten about in less than a week because the shooter didn’t fit the political agenda that would allow Republicans to attack marginalized groups is the most fitting tribute imaginable for Charlie Kirk.

Trump is already preparing for when he loses the next election.

The children’s publishing world was rocked this week as a book was released by a new author who wasn’t a celebrity. From the latest Private Eye, out now.
