Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. Sheโ€™s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Prince William who doesn't even need to be there, went to the UN Climate Conference on a Private Jet.

He doesn't give the slightest toss about Climate Change, only getting publicity for doing nothing.

For comments - my 12 yo FIV toothless dear cat is very picky only wanting tuna in jelly and Felix food I have tried all Zoopla + pets at home options . I have managed this recipe where i crush dry food and mix with felix in a bun of tuna in jelly. Still thinking on how to give more nutrients.

As Americans go hungry, Trumpโ€™s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Donโ€™t worry, itโ€™s only about $3โ€“4 million per trip.

I bought this pandemic project guitar with a brand new hard case included for ยฃ60 from a nice gentleman. I do miss the tone dial, but have it tune in C Standard and other alternate tunings and it sounds nice.

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Dick Cheneyโ€™s legacy is that he turned 9/11 from a national tragedy into a global disaster. He did so through a mixture of arrogance, stupidity and greed and blighted the last quarter century.

Just got a second hand (practically new) first pedal bike for my son. He saw it and told me I want to go for a bike ride. With my balance bike. OK we give a little more time.

Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king.

Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy.

Long, long overdue.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
โ€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the worldโ€™s largest oil reserves.โ€

Fentanyl and coke are the new โ€œweapons of mass destructionโ€ lie. Itโ€™s Iraq all over again, folks. Itโ€™s always about controlling the oil.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?
