Somehow l don't think this will receive any media coverage in the UK because all they're too busy screeching about the unspeakable restraints on the freedoms of some thuggish Israeli football fans which are somehow tantamount to gross and blatant antisemitism.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials

Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

Cornered Mike Johnson Scrambles as ABC Host Grills Him Over Epstein Vote Saga

Speaker Johnson is yet to swear in Adelita Grijalva, and circled around his reasonings for the long wait in a very awkward interview.

Every single Trump appointee is straight from central casting of a nightmarish dystopian episode of the Twilight Zone.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

It's as though the very worst of Tufton Street is in charge of the US. Trump, Miller, Vought would fit in perfectly with the provisional wing of the Conservative Party.

Well of course it's also 'appropriate and correct' to shoot puppies when you get bored with them. America is so lucky to have this font of moral rectitude in high office.

After Russ Vought experienced the chaotic failures of Trump’s 1st term, he made it his mission to ensure that a second Trump term would not “lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

Donald Trump’s Deep-State Wrecking Ball

Russell Vought is using the White House budget office to lay waste to the federal bureaucracy—firing workers, decimating agencies, and testing the rule of law.

Because yesterday was likely was the largest single day protest since 1970 and because it was a peaceful protest, I hereby nominate its organizers en masse for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is how we do it now, right?

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Surely Speaker Mike Johnson is the purest distillate of moral perfection to be found in this part of the Milky Way. To even think that this apogee and paradigm of righteousness and rectitude would even deign to consider to entertain a wicked thought is simply no to be borne!

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!
