MORE from Jack Smith:
"The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts."

BREAKING on MS NOW:
Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:
"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Kamal al-Helbawy, the spokesman for the anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood, appeared on BBC only one time, in 2011.
Nigel Farage, the anti-Semitic head of Reform UK, has appeared on BBC QT 38 times since then, is a nightly feature on the news, and had his own show on GB News
Who is the bigger danger?

Ugh. This image feels sacrilegious. The original is iconic.
This makes me uncomfortable on so many levels.

We were saddened to hear about the recent death of Andrew Jarvis, an award-winning Shakespearean actor who inspired many over the years, especially those in their early careers. Andrew performed with the RSC throughout the 1980s, in 30 productions over 10 years.

Needless to say, the teacher was not banned *because* they told a Muslim child that Britain is a Christian country🙄
I mean that was *one* of the things he said
And he was banned *after* several incidences
So technically the headline is true, but that’s not the actual story!

"We"?
We, 🇪🇺, have a system of visas. We apply this to third countries.
You, 🇬🇧, rejected Schengen and then rejected citizenship multiple times in Brexit. You became a third country by choice.
So we 🇪🇺 will have the border system that suits our citizens.

6 December 1942 | Grigol Peradze, a cleric of the Georgian Orthodox Church, an archimandrite, perished in #Auschwitz.
Since 1933, he lectured at the College of Orthodox Theology at Warsaw University. The Germans arrested him on 5 May 1942, and, in November, deported him to Auschwitz.
