Tim Houston continues his attack on the institutions that make this democracy worthwhile - Halifax Examiner The government's goal is to make us feel desperate and alone.

"Tim Houston continues his attack on the institutions that make this democracy worthwhile"

Houston is a despicable human being, with the absolute opposite priorities & beliefs of ordinary Nova Scotians.
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!

US accused of β€˜shameless exploitation’ over proposed Zambian health aid deal Leaked draft of $1bn memorandum of understanding reveals mandatory targets, sharing of data, and reported access to mining concessions

"These terms are vastly worse than other deals. The US is conditioning life-saving health services on plundering the mineral wealth of [Zambia]. It’s shameless exploitation, which is immoral... when health programs are treated like a bargaining chip by a rapacious administration, everyone suffers”

From Venezuela to immigration, Project 2025 provided Trump's roadmap Just a year into Trump's second term, and about half of Project 2025's policies have been implemented, observers say.

#Project2025 items not yet implemented:-
* ban abortion pills, ban mailing them;
* teachers & librarians who discuss "transgender ideology" with kids = sex offenders;
* reduce US forces in Europe, shift focus towards China;
* add citizenship question to US Census.

Remember to vote in the midterms!

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...
