Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to…

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Huzzah & Hooorah!🥳
That’s nearly all of Boris’s Cabinet now defecating to Reform.
All we need now is for The Big Dog to join Reform, push Fartage out and hey presto…It’s a return to the good old days!
Reform?
Ha!
It’s Conform UK now!

SEEING IS BELIEVING

DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.

📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.

DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

If so, should the response be different to that if the US is being literal?

Is there anything in the Greenland situation not being literal, but an attempt to move the overton window, so that Europe makes more and larger concessions because they're better than the collapse of NATO? Perhaps an 'art of the deal' move to set a shocking base price?

That is the choice.
NATO is pretty much done, and the US is an unreliable partner. Europe alone would struggle to deal with Russia, and no chance it could manage Ukraine and Greenland militarily
