She can’t help lying her ass off.

As far as I’m aware the alleged killer of State representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark hasn’t indicated why he did it. They’ve also not stated a motive for the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk.

This antifa narrative is bs

HMS Agamemnon at night.

I ran past her the other evening and actually stopped dead in my tracks as it’s unusual to see any of the submarines in the dock like that.

Tomorrow evening on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social ‘A Family at War’ has moved to July 1943.

And unless any of the things he described are picked up on dashcam, there’s no evidence to back up the ICE agent’s assertions. Terrifying.

Terry stops were a mistake, and Kavenaugh stops only moreso.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I heard Wonderland on #TOTP and looked up expecting Big Country…

No it’s Paul Young.

Here’s Stuart Adamson anyway to help you all cope.

He’s totally lacking in grace.

The idea that a better person won the Nobel Peace Prize just wouldn’t occur to Trump.

María Corina Machado is a great humanitarian, she’s fought for democracy in Venezuela against a totalitarian regime and threats to her life.

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists
