โ€˜I am quite privileged,โ€™ say white Afrikaners not wanting asylum in the US As Trump offers to take in Afrikaner refugees, many say right-wing lobbyists have spread misinformation and fear.

Lives at risk? In danger of rape? Murder? Crime? Or perhaps they are simply white and their past privileges have been equalized?

The latter would pull at DJT's heartstrings. Hence the Executive Order to fly in White South African Refugees.

MAGA and DJT acolytes fumed at the choice of Leo Prevost, who has taken the title Pope Leo XIV.

The Conclave must've done something right.

I've found scientific research and studies in Australia get to the truth faster than in the US...this was true of Autism research when I went looking a decade ago. (At least what is published and accessible to the public.) Something to definitely consider with Kennedy leading HHS.

DJT obsessively lobs variants of his idea of insults: "anย extraordinarily low IQ personโ€ is a favorite.

Seems obvious his impaired cognitive abilities can't come up with much else.

Also obvious: racism and misogyny are forms of stupidity.

It's science, stupid.

Australia federal election: Anthony Albanese wins in landslide - BBC News Donald Trump loomed large over the election, with comparisons drawn between the US president and defeated opposition leader Peter Dutton.

Other Democracies INTACT bc of DJT.

Trump-esque rhetoric drove Australian voters back to the Center-Left Albanese, highlighting yet another country concerned about a new, tumultuous world order.

You're right...the last two years, 2023/2024, The New York Times had editorials on World Press Freedom Day. NOT this year. Confusing, disappointing.

Fact check: Trump did not call Republicans โ€œthe dumbest group of votersโ€ An old quote falsely attributed to Donald Trump has recently resurfaced online. The viral meme alleges Trump told People magazine in 1998 that Republicans are โ€œthe dumbest group of voters in the countryโ€. This is false.

DJT is the match that set fire to falsehoods and outright lies, burning much more than bridges. His name-calling and bad-mouthing inflame, enrage and encourage hatred of othersโ€™ differences of opinion and culture.

His supporters are simply pawns of a desperate despot attempting a coup.

New law in Oklahoma requires schools to teach that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud.

Dumbing down American kids goes full speed ahead.

(Not to mention the $33m in much needed funding to pay to teach kids' lies)

All good though for Making America Great.
