Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Here's Deb Haaland in 2019, saying why, to her, changing the name of today's federal holiday from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day isn't about erasing history at all. It's about correcting history.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

The house of cards is finally collapsing. Might collapse more quickly if only the mainstream media and the Reform-backing BBC accepted that they are backing a Russian-funded scumbag millionaire.

Fraudulent Farage is untouchable.

We have to make sure every story is aired about that charlatan. Everything from marching with the National Front, to Russian connections to more dodgy dealings and strange earnings.

He needs to be demolished before the locals and general election.

Now he needs to be asked why he denied it. He needs to be put under pressure. Reformand reform members finances need to be scrutinised.

Farage's finances and connections should be investigated right back to when he was an MEP voting against EU resolution to stop Russian election meddling in 2019.
