Religions know that they cannot grow with just adult converts. Only with the indoctrination of children can religions maintain their power and privilege.
That is why they take such an intrusive interest in your reproductive rights!

Who wants to bet that this has less to do with the plight of Christians in Nigeria, and more to do with Trump wanting unfettered access to Nigerian oil?

The beginning 21st Century could have been a giant leap for humanity; an age of prosperity and advancement. But, no, for some people, their greed and hatred was more important to them than the survival of the species.

The fall of the US as a democracy should be regularly reported on in the UK. But most of the British media is refusing to show you things like this because it might scare people away from Reform UK (who will attempt to do the same things).
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

So I was wondering; when a large corporation asks you if you want to donate to a charity through them in addition to your purchase, is it
a) from a sense of social responsibility,
b) to decrease their tax liability,
c) something else?
I'd love to hear from people who genuinely know the answer.🙏

For decades, successive governments have sought to distract us from their failures with "Migrants!!"
We need action on the NHS, on wealth inequality, on the climate emergency, to name just three.
Meanwhile, the BBC has two migrant stories front and centre today.

Just as the exposure of historic abuse broke the Catholic Church's power in Europe, I believe that the lies and ignorant hatred tha these people spout daily, their greed and criminalit will be the death knell of Christianity as an power in western democracies.

Here's a list of Trump costs to the US, based on my limited research:
Renaming military bases $40M
Renaming DoD $2B
Renaming GoM $4B
ICE additional funding $10B
Tourism losses 2025 $13B
Big Beautiful Bill $3T
But at least the Trump family has made $5B on crypto scams!
