Trump and Netanyahu: What The Hell is Going On?. Content Warning.
Benjamin Netanyahu flew into Washington for talks with Trump for the third time this year. At a dinner held for Bibi at the White House, Netanyahu handed Trump a letter. It was a copy of a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Organisation to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, written by Netanyahu. Trump didn't exactly jump out of his chair with glee. Similar to when Sir Keir Starmer handed him a letter from King Charles to visit the UK. On both occasions, Trump seemed surprised but overly emtional.

The Brilliant Plan to Collapse the Economy One Deportation at a Time
The Department of Homeland Security might want to consider a rebrand: maybe something like the Department of National Self-Sabotage. Because what else do you call a government actively purging the very labor force that props up the American economy while pretending it’s all part of some master plan to Make America Great Again™?

Wealth Tax is Overdue.
Neil Kinnock has been a Labour Peer in the House of Lords since 2005, and was once Leader of the Labour Party. He jousted with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at PMQs (Prime Minister's Questions) many a time. He opposed much of what Thatcher did and clashed with her over the closure of mines, particularly in the North and Midlands. He reigned as Labour Leader from 1983 to 1992. Son of a miner, he knew what it was to rise through the ranks. When first elected as Leader of the Labour Party, he had a left-wing agenda. He backed 'Ban the bomb' and 'CND' and the Women of Greenham Common, who camped and demonstrated against nukes being stored by the USAF at an RAF base.

Michael Jackson Didn’t Molest Any Kids: The Case for His Innocence
More than a decade after his death, Michael Jackson’s legacy remains under attack. The accusations that once dominated headlines have resurfaced again and again, most recently in the documentary Leaving Neverland. Yet despite the emotional weight of that film, the actual evidence does not support the narrative of guilt. A closer look reveals a pattern of opportunism, contradictions, and media manipulation.

Stop Prioritizing Veterans Over Other Homeless People
Homelessness is on the rise. Certain demographic groups, such as military veterans and disabled people, are at least twice as likely to experience homelessness, through no fault of their own. They deserve better.

An allergy to Peace.🩸
They stand at the podium, still vociferating as everything crumbles around them...so immersed in glorifying themselves, they miss the cracks in the walls of humanity poised to fall on their egotistical heads, crushing them at the earliest opportunity.

Corbyn: The Second Coming?. Content Warning.
When Mr. Corbyn lost the general election against Bojo and the Tories, many thought Jeremy Corbyn's bid for leadership and power was over. Mr. Corbyn stayed on as the leader of the Labour Party until a new leader was chosen. Sir Keir Starmer, once an ally of Corbyn in his shadow cabinet, booted the veteran left-winger out of the party once he became leader. He sought to eliminate alleged anti-Semites from the party that had allegedly had their moment in the sun under Jeremy Corbyn.

Elon Musk Launches the America Party: What It Means for 2025 and Beyond
On July 5, 2025, Elon Musk took a surprising political leap: he officially launched the America Party, proclaiming its mission on X (formerly Twitter) as “to give you back your freedom.” This ambitious move follows his falling out with former ally Donald Trump over the controversial “One Big Beautiful Bill” and signals a dramatic shift in the landscape of American politics.

Back to Stone Era
In an age where technology reigns supreme and global superpowers flex their military muscles through satellites, artificial intelligence, and hypersonic missiles, a silent force is emerging—one so terrifying that it could erase centuries of human advancement in a matter of seconds. This isn’t fiction. It’s not a futuristic tale. It’s a reality knocking on our digital doors. And it might just send us spiraling back to the Stone Era.

S.S. 2.0
Let's be clear: no one is smashing up Russian delis over the war in the Ukraine. No one is burning down Chinese restaurants over the treatment the Chicoms hand out to Uhygurs, who are rounded up and put in concentration camps. That's because human beings are moral hypocrites, cowards, and they want the easy adulation and back-patting of being on the "right side of history," a phrase they love just as much as they love to throw around the word, "genocide." Just recently, though, an Israeli restaurant in Australia was attacked and smashed, and someone tried to burn down a synagogue with people still inside.
