Opinion | Slovenian Sphinx Flick Nixed!

From the article: The Independent said the first lady came across as β€œa preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda.”

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It's time to realise that the richest most powerful people on the planet are the most evil, greediest people on the planet.

Stop believing their propaganda about themselves and realise that they are THE problem, the only one.

A warning! What is happening now is the rise of the #TrumpAutocracy. It’s up to the American people to bring about its fall.

I realize that I’m pretty slow to this realisation, but the corruption around the #Manalia promotional β€˜documentary’ has made it abundantly clear that #Trump & his family are basically #RichWhiteTrash

If Iran refuses to make a deal, Donald Trump says the next attack will be β€œfar worse” than the raids on its nuclear sites last year. That is a credible threat. We lay out the three possible scenarios econ.st/4rohQNm

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Why aren't we more concerned that the government is hiding the identity of the agents who shot Alex Pretti? This coverup should be getting much more coverage.

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world.

Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime.

It ain't the USA.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

What is especially galling about Trump’s insulting dismissal of British and Allied troops in Afghanistan is that he himself successfully avoided serving in #Vietnam.

Trump’s oil tanker seizure looks remarkably like piracy, or, as it seems the USA and Venezuela are in conflict, privateerism, with king Trump issuing a letter of marque to the US military. Very C17th.

What every macho dictator must have: a #war. #Putin has his war. Now #Trump is itching to have his: #Venezia. It’s also a useful distraction from the economic doldrums his polices have given rise to.

Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do
Murderous attacks on Christians and Muslims alike are a real problem in Nigeria. Cutting humanitarian assistance there is even more lethal.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

While the rest of the world has panels of experts basing policy decisions on science & evidence, the US now has policy decisions made by blokes who’s only experience was they spent years drinking in a bar & telling strangers about the dangers of fluoride, welfare spending & trade deficits.

The wealthy might say they hate the national debt, but they don't because we pay them for it.
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy The wealthy might say they hate the national debt, but they don't because we pay them for it.

The wealthy say they are terrified of the national debt, but they aren't really. It only exists because they don't pay enough tax, and they'd hate doing that even more.
