I may have my frustrations and disappointments about Starmer as a domestic politician, but internationally, I think he’s serious, responsible and trying to do his best for U.K. in unbelievably complex int’l environment, despite treasonous ghouls like Farage doing their best to undermine him.

Oppositely speaking, the greatest quote in the history of language was a Galician nationalist saying "Galician is a useful language; with minor variations it is used in Portugal and Brazil"

'One of the happiest moments': Iranians in Ireland see Ali Khamenei's death as a reason to hope The Iranians who spoke to The Journal said the future of Iran should be secular democracy.

When the news broke on Saturday that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been killed during attacks launched by the United States and Israel, it was met with a mix of relief, trepidation and joy by members of the Iranian diaspora living in Ireland.

The guy on the left was arrested and convicted for illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan administration. The guy on the right is a fox News "military analyst" who thinks Iran shouldn't have missiles. They're the same guy

Trump said he β€œhad a feeling” Iran would attack first, then admitted the leaders he had in mind to replace the regime were killed in the strikes he ordered.

β€œWe have another group, but they may be dead, too. Pretty soon we’re not going to know anybody.”

You can’t make this up.

He’s not just losing cases; he’s losing words.

He can no longer find the words he wants to use. His vocabulary is degrading.
