These photos appear in the Clacton Gazette which has a circulation of two men and a dog and an unusable website. Rarely elsewhere, so I can see where the whole never in Clacton thing is coming from. Still, very bored of seeing it.

He doesn't live here, hold surgeries or represent us in parliament. But the continual refrain that he's never here is incorrect. He drops by for quick local paper photo ops in awful suits fairly often to give the impression of usefulness. Here last week with Sands charity. Thinks he's the Mayor?

Also, just as Trump said this wouldn’t impact the existing White House, but then tore down the East Wing, he initially said HE would pay for the ballroom, but then extorted the money (and handed out tax deductions for it) instead.

It’s lies from top to bottom, surprising no one.

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it.

At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.

If Mamdani is elected mayor of New York he’ll get a meet and greet with Donald Trump. Based on this performance alone, having that encounter happen may be beneficial for society.

New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani bodied Andrew Cuomo on live television.

According to Cuomo the sexual harassment and rape of women is not a serious or mature topic.

Fox News' John Roberts, reacting to White House demolition: "It's telephoto compression. So it looks like there's less left than there really is. The entire colonnade of the East Wing, it looks like, is still in shape... it really wasn't much to look at. We'll see if it changes with Pres. Trump."

Omdat Wilders slechts plannen heeft voor de 17% asielzoekers die voorrang krijgen, en verder niks heeft bedacht.

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

The $20 billion the President is spending to bailout his friend in Argentina is almost enough to extend your health care credits for a whole year.

If they wanted to find the money they could. We don't suffer from a lack of resources, we suffer from leadership who fails to put people first.

In Germany, the police academy is 2.5 years. In Finland, 3 years.

Even the NYPD is 6 months.

ICE is was already 3 months. Now 1.5 months.

Pure indifference to any actual skill or ability. Makes them both more dangerous and less effective.
