Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Prince William who doesn't even need to be there, went to the UN Climate Conference on a Private Jet.
He doesn't give the slightest toss about Climate Change, only getting publicity for doing nothing.

As Americans go hungry, Trump’s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Don’t worry, it’s only about $3–4 million per trip.

I bought this pandemic project guitar with a brand new hard case included for £60 from a nice gentleman. I do miss the tone dial, but have it tune in C Standard and other alternate tunings and it sounds nice.

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.
Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Dick Cheney’s legacy is that he turned 9/11 from a national tragedy into a global disaster. He did so through a mixture of arrogance, stupidity and greed and blighted the last quarter century.

Dumb for the people - cunning for his boss. Where is justice? “Now new emails released to Byline Times, following a freedom of information request, reveal the true extent of Dominic Cummings’ subsequent involvement in lobbying senior officials to hand over huge Covid contracts to Thiel’s company”

Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king.
Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy.
Long, long overdue.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama told an audience at Chatham House:
“Some call them small boats, some call them Brexit boats. And one wonders why you left Europe. You left Europe because you wanted less boats, and you have more boats.
