Nigel Farage: "Yes, I was racist in high school, but only in a warm, cuddly way"
When about 20 of Nigel Farage’s former school mates accused him of racism, you would think our next prime minister would frantically deny the accusations, but such a denial is actually unnecessary.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
