No one should be protecting pedophiles, especially not the Attorney General of the United States. All those who committed wrongdoing or continued to associate with Epstein after he was convicted should be held accountable.

Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Christian Nationalist pastor Doug Wilson to lead The Pentagon’s worship service. Not much of a surprise, since Hegseth goes to a Wilson-affiliated CREC church.

You wouldn't think it from the reactions tonight but Man City and Arsenal have both taken 13 points from their respective last eight Premier League matches.

The players have to put this behind them and go and win on Sunday. We're five points clear, the title is still in our own hands.
