Our Ithumba orphans adore wild-born calves, but they also know that they can get away with anything. On this day, Kindani had enough. Subiri did something to offend her, so she got her revenge with a tail pull, a shove, and a kick. Subiri's mum Sunyei and nannies were over in a flash, no harm done.

What's the difference between a President threatening to withhold money based on how people vote vs promising to give money in exchange for votes? In other words: how is this not illegal? Trump backs Cuomo, threatens to cut funds for New York City if Mamdani wins.

Отсутствие независимой журналистики в Чечне уже много лет ни для кого не является секретом. С приходом к власти Рамзана Кадырова медиасреда была стремительно подчинена руководству региона: одни журналисты покинули республику, другие были вынуждены прекратить работу, а оставшихся интегрировали в...

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is “passing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…
