What an insult to Iranians, Iranian women, to Salman Rushdie, to Jews. Iran and Russia sycophant and conspiracy theorist Julian Assange marching in front of a poster of murderous Tehran dictator Ayatollah Khamenei on Sydney Harbour Bridge. This isn’t about Gazan children. It’s pro-terror.

"Candace Owens is complicit in a vile campaign of slander and cyber-harassment of Brigitte Macron. An extraordinarily toxic figure in today’s disinformation landscape, she spreads antisemitism and homophobia and monetises it" says @rreichstadt.bsky.social Conspiracy Watch @conspiracywen.bsky.social

Brigitte Macron versus a far right fantasist Conspiracy theorist Candace Owens claims that France’s first lady was born a man. Now the president and his wife will face her in court

Finally! A key victim of conspiracy merchant Candace 'Kremlin' Owens is fighting back. She's called Brigitte Macron and is NOT male, even if loathsome hate peddler Owens persists in slandering her as 'The First Lady-Man' of 🇫🇷.

Trump ran on revealing "the truth" about coverups of the misdeeds of men like Jeffrey Epstein. For him to turn around and tell his rabid supporters that nobody is talking about Epstein is such a knife in the back. He always saves his worst betrayal for those who love him most.

France is a far healthier country than America Yet even its medical care is under strain

Partly it's French cultural habits. Lifestyle is more important in explaining 🇫🇷 long life expectancy than big govt health budgets. In state schools even tiny children sit down to a 3-course meal eg vege soup+ cod fillet with peas+fresh fruit. Chips? Once a month ⤵️ www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

"France’s health system is a victim of its success: Because of very good historical indicators, and having one of best health systems in the world. Accustomed to excellence, the country expects it—and is ill-prepared for upcoming budget squeeze on waste and excess needed to keep it that way."
