This highlights the lie that Israel is attacking Gaza because of Hamas: theintercept.com/2025/07/03/i... - the actions of the current Israeli government and military are beyond any acceptable justification. They are murderers, pure and simple.

Palestinian journalists live through the same brutal conditions they cover — and describe a pattern of direct targeting by Israeli forces.

It is difficult to appreciate just how badly JD Vance’s comments are going down with military leaders, families of fallen soldiers & citizens across Europe.

Some Sunday thoughts on America and the defense of Norway and Europe.

Some input values: I have been an Atlanticist, believed in America as a beacon and the leader of the free world and strong proponent of as close as possible bilateral defense relationship.

Parliament is in the dark and the British public is in the dark. I have a suspicion that Boris Johnson and his government knew exactly what had happened, partly because they were beneficiaries of illicit political funding themselves’

Here's fascist traitor Trump with Brexiters Farage, Raheem Kassam, and Arron Banks. And here's Raheem Kassam boasting about Russia defeating Ukraine in half a day, and Farage and Arron Banks parroting pro-Russian propaganda lies.

Farage is a traitor working for the fascist axis.

Understanding why Trump says and does the things he does, comes down to understanding narcissism.

Starting with #14, Masking: Beneath the mask, the narcissistic personality is unstable, alienated, deluded, antagonistic, and morally unaccountable. Read more: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.

Since I wrote this midweek, the weight on Starmer’s shoulders has become even heavier, the task even greater. But as dark as things are, the prize is still there, if he has the political imagination to take it.
These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction.

Will he seize it? New writing from me.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

This is the transcript of the conversation between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky

Everything Zelensky said is 1000% true and reasonable

Everything Trump and Vance said is not just false and insulting, it’s actual Kremlin propaganda

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such
Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

"This is what is required of Europe today: Commitment, clarity, confidence, planning and strength. This is disparaged as warmongering by Putin's apologists on left and right. In fact it is the opposite. It is the best way to prevent further war."
