You're amazing Niall. Thank you.

Putin cannot stop this war now. He is all in. The only way to stop the war is for Russia to stop Putin. He knows that. Europe must help Russia stop Putin.

Matt Ridley is indeed a dinosaur.

Brilliant!

The Rule of Thirds!

Oh Niall. The poor dog was in so much pain. You and your team are just wonderful. Thank you.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

There was a very good reason we called her Hope....because she had none.

She's a different dog today... incredible

Shocking moment as a russian ‘Molniya’ drone struck an apartment building in Kharkiv today ‼️

Pure and simple terrorism with no military goals. Bloody russian terrorists bastards‼️

This is Trump’s America. We need to ensure it won't be his “Mirror, Mirror” version much longer.

OTD in 1935 Hitler assured Poland he would not invade them. A few years later he said Germans were being oppressed & killed so he attacked, carried out genocide and spent the last years of his life in bunker detached from reality.

Imagine all that happening today.
