You do know Antifa means anti fascist don’t you?

My guess is
From academic reading
More than 800,000 dead

And I will be disgusted if no one goes to prison for it

Let’s hope there’s a census done in Gaza ASAP. The world needs know how many Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israel.

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. It's time to hold them to account.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
