DENIED!

UK has BLOCKED a request from US to use British military bases (specifically RAF Fairford in England & joint US-UK base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean),
for POTENTIAL military strikes AGAINST Iran.

*They host US heavy bombers, but REQUIRE PRIOR APPROVAL from the British government.

What compassion.
Rep. Randy Fine who recently said "Mainstream Muslims should be destroyed" wants legislation to protect puppies.

'Narcissitic leader with autocratic tendencies' Really?
He's better described as a vindictive authoritarian who's profiting personally (and illegally) from the presidency.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once β€œadvocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

They behave and look like a poorly trained, undisciplined paramilitary militia from a banana republic.
No wonder Congress is refusing to fund them and wants Kristy Noem gone.

"From the first moment a soldier is issued a rifle, they are taught a principle so basic it becomes instinct: Know what’s beyond your target." The problem here is it wasn't soldiers who did this: lnk.thebulwark.com/4659MsH

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.

So either ICE are out of control and disregarding orders or Lyons is a lying toad.

Please Sir, that doesn't make sense.
Why doesn't deporting millions open up millions of jobs for work hungry citizens and thus boost job numbers?

Reform threatens to defund Welsh university after student society's debate ban The warning over funding came after the Bangor Debating & Political Society refused a request from Reform for Q and A wi

Straight out of the Trump handbook.

Reform UK is threatening to defund a Welsh university simply because a debating society turned them down.

Are they serious?

The 'Haters' and their president are stupid, don't understand America consists of two sub-continents, that the United States is the smaller part of one of them.
Too stupid to recognize Spanish is spoken by the majority of citizens in the Americas..
Stupidity, hate and bigotry are bedfellows.

Apparently a YouGov opinion poll saying 82% don't trust the media has been published today, maybe the media could stop their witch hunt against Starmer and ponder why they're not trusted.

Celebrating Black history means facing the whole story | Opinion Black History Month remains necessary. When people ask why it matters, the better question is why so many have tried to erase or minimize it.

Op-ed: Black History Month, turning 100 this year, remains necessary to combat the erasure of Black contributions in #Florida & elsewhere and confront historical truths. www.tallahassee.com/story/opinio...

Emergency Triad: Another American Has Been Murdered by Our Government It’s worse than it looks and it looks plenty bad.

Border Patrol, led by Bovino was originally sent to Chicago by the Trump administration to pursue 'more agressive' methods because ICE weren't meeting Stephen Miller's arrest quotas.
Of course Kristi Noem was nominally in charge of DHS but Miller was behind all this shit and Trump endorsed it.

This. And they tried to defame the white guy with a gun, too, because he didn't play for the right team. But the video evidence made their lies impossible for all but the most deluded MAGA to buy.

Greenland's population is less than 60 thousand so this is not a persuasive argument from a member of an administration which is carelessly defunding healthcare in rural America, shutting down their hospitals and clinics.
