The three overlords
Crime has been falling in DC year on year.
This is a man in need of a big, showy display of power- and to remind his followers (wavering ever so slightly on the Epstein issue) why the world beyond MAGA is terrifying and only he can save them.
All lies. All designed to polarise and divide.

These clowns want to read about John Snow who thoroughly debunked the miasma theory when London was awash with Cholera.
A couple of years ago, my son went to his "dress as a hero"' day as him amongst a sea of supermans.

Trump and Musk. It was always going to end this way- except it hasn't ended and we now have two of the most powerful men in the world hurling threats and names across social media.
So what now?Who comes out on top.
I'm on BBC Radio Sheffield at 5:15 today to get into the nitty gritty.
Tune in!

This has tickled me no end. We need someone who can hit the ground running, has a growth mindset, a real solutions-driven self-starter.

Why is Elon Musk being briefed on sensitive China/US relations? Isn't he, erm, choc FULL of conflicts of interest. Yep. The risks inherent in the New American Oligarchy- by me... journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

The age of the new American oligarchy is here. I wrote about it- Musk in particular- and it was a nightmare!
Trying to keep up with the sheer speed of destruction and chaos is virtually impossible.

I'm 43 year old mother of two with a full time job who is tired most of the time.
Today I successfully defended my PhD.
When your doubting voice tells you you can't, let your tantrumming toddler voice remind them that you bloody well can.
The photo is of me getting my celebratory falafel btw.
