Forget the spelling. 🙄🤪 Only stark raving mad people declare they are not stark raving mad in all caps.

Normal stable people don’t feel the need.

The White House plans to give asylum to far-right anti-immigrant protesters from Europe. No. This is not a joke. It does put one in mind planned terrorism, however.

Oooh this is juicy. This is from Jim Comey's response to Lindsay Halligan's motion to disqualify defense counsel Pat Fitzgerald, and to set up filter protocols over old warrants. THE DEFENSE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE WHAT? lol

Farage has the brass neck to lecture anyone on national security - this from a bloke whose own ally, Nathan Gill, admitted taking bribes from the terrorist state Russia, while he parrots Kremlin propaganda. #ukpolitics

Tariffs are ruining everything — including the Texas State Fair.

$14 for fried oreos.
$15 for a funnel cake chicken sandwich.
$25 for a turkey leg.

DC politicians are pricing Texans out of our own state fair.

Nothing screams financial acumen and fiscal responsibility like Reform not knowing you have to charge VAT on goods and services provided in the UK❗️🙄

They weren’t avoiding tax, unlike when both Farage and Tice used tax havens because when you got millions you want ti hang onto every penny..

Dan Neidle @danneidle.bsky.social · 13h

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

The first image is from Gaza in 2023, where Palestinian civilians are being abducted by the Israeli army.
The second is from Germany in 1943, where civilians were abducted by the Nazi army.

Eighty years apart — yet the scene is the same: human beings seized, humiliated, and abused.
