The free speech equivalence is not just about shouting “fire!” in a crowded theater; Fox News are now operating at the level of setting smoke bombs off in a crowded theater - then shouting “Fire!” Fox News are operating with impunity as a party organ of misinformation, disinformation & provocation

BREAKING: Russia Is Buying Trump for $6 Billion — And It’s Happening in Plain Sight
A failing social media company. A Russian-backed fusion deal. AI panic. Presidential conflicts. And now, a dead American nuclear scientist. Tell me again this is “just a tech story.”

This is why Johnson sent the Congress home during the Shutdown for 54 days, nearly 8 weeks, so the FBI would have time to redact Trumps name from the Epstein files.
What a joke !

Since David Frost has NEVER been right about anything at any point when it comes to Brexit, this feels like a strong endorsement for our participation in Erasmus.

So one has to ask: is Bezos in the Epstein files as well?
Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

I'm Martha McCallum and this is Fox News. Today, as the members of the cabinet rightly showered Dear Leader with praise, he often closed his eyes as his high IQ strategic mind worked on solving the many issues around the world. Dear Leader thinks best with his eyes closed and slumped over.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Took 90 yr old mum to the Guy Barker Jazz Orchestra Christmas gig at the Royal Albert Hall.
50 piece band with guests belting out “You’re a mean one Mr Grinch” and rousing versions of Sing Sing SIng.
At the end of the gig she said, “They must be fucking knackered after that."
She liked it.

I watch a YouTuber called Coach D who puts out a regular drip of FAFO content. The general mood from Trumpers is "Things suck right now but would have been worse if Harris won." They're losing their health care and ability to buy food and crying on camera and still think they made the right call.
