Yolande Norris Clark used to call us the “Conspirituality bros” as a slur when we covered her shady ass business back in 2020.
Reading how many people she fked over, and the number of babies who died because of her “school,” is horrifying.

Ukraine never wanted this war. Russia invaded our country. Nobody in this world wants peace more than Ukrainians, whose towns and villages are being razed, whose children are being abducted, whose families are being burned alive in their own homes by Russian drones and missiles.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”

He's so fucking soft-brained. Anyone with basic people skills can manipulate him, at least temporarily. In a day or two Steven Miller will have him trash talking Mamdani and threatening to send in the Marines to execute him.
