This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

He will spend billions of our hard-earned dollars killing school girls in Iran to distract from all the school girls he and his buddies raped on Epstein Island and at Zorro Ranch.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

“Bomb some democracy into these bastards and don’t stop killing them until they’re free” is a perverse, deranged, totally ineffective and discredited policy.

Give & take

Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.
