This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

"This is now the position of the Trump administration: Members of the Article I branch of government who insist that the armed forces must be faithful to the law are inducing potentially fatal disorder among the troops." The President is not the law. And to insist that he is betrays our democracy.
This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

Putin's biggest strategic objectives were to break up the EU and to disconnect the USA from Europe's defence. Brexit and Trump delivered him both objectives. European leaders now need to fight back. Putin has overreached himself and if Trump's big push on his side fails, Putin's regime will fall.

It’s another attack on the work women do not being valuable. They want women working for free, doing all childcare, limited homeschool education, and nursing sick and elderly family themselves. There is nothing but servitude in project 2025 for women.
When you have a nursing shortage, the last thing you want to do is go after nurses and their careers.
Nurse practitioners went to school for 8 more years, than a BSN & can prescribe meds, & is billed, for less, by insurance.
This is another attack on healthcare & the poor.
