Spain Moves to Legalize Migrants, Defying Europe’s Anti-Immigration Trend
Spaniards mostly view immigration as beneficial, although far-right opposition is rising.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.

How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?

I’m very much looking forward to this conference. Much of FWW historiography is focused on the Western Front. The campaigns in Mesopotamia and Palestine deserve to have their stories told. Not only were they fighting the Turks but also the environment, disease, and in some cases the plague!
Come along and see actual me, in the flesh, talking about the FWW on the Italian Front. As a bonus, you get Peter, Alan and Nigel thrown in for good measure 👍

Given the fact that so many politicians are still giving Trump everything he wants, I can arrive at only one conclusion:
Every one of those MFs is in the Epstein files.
Otherwise, they'd have impeached him and tried him for his crimes a long time ago.
