Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as heโ€™s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Frame grab of a news story about the arsonist who โ€œstarted the Palisades fire.โ€

Frame grab of a news story about the arsonist who โ€œstarted the Palisades fire.โ€

Meanwhile Los Angeles news has been running non stop stories blaming the entire Palisades fire on an arsonist.

Hint: Weโ€™ve always had arsonists, power lines, camp fires etc but they didnโ€™t used to burn down whole cities.

This is a level of free Climate denial oil companies must fโ€™n love.

Andrew has paid no rent on a 30 bedroom mansion with just two people living it for over 20 years.

But someone does pay the rent, you.

It is the ridiculous excesses of the rich causing homelessness, not immigrants.

Venezuelan woman who begged Trump to bomb her country wins Nobel Peace Prize Marรญa Corina Machado has become the first person since Barack Obama to win the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing.

" Machado is a big advocate for the sanctions that are starving Venezuelans. If Venezuelans donโ€™t want to starve, they should simply overthrow their government. If they donโ€™t, they are no more deserving of food than the Palestinians who failed to overthrow Hamas."
