- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Refugee status becomes temporary in asylum shake-up Adults and accompanied children claiming asylum will only receive refugee status for 30 months under the changes.

Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

Somebody’s trained an AI using episodes of ‘Allo ‘Allo.

I’ll happily take mushrooms off your hands. Someone else will have to deal with the celery, though.

Not wrong, though

He's part of a British tradition all the way back to Hastings.

Our party has just come third in Gorton and Denton, a previously safe Labour seat - an area where we haven't lost an election since 1931.

It is those running our party who are to blame. We need change at the top and serious lessons need to be learnt:

Here I am having a holiday while lying about the government stopping me going to the Chagos Islands, where nobody can go without a permit. Still, who needs facts when your followers are thick and gullible?

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.
