I've invented a new Law of Science:

O'Connell's Law : When a spoon is placed in a bowl, and that bowl placed in a sink, and the tap turned on, the high pressure stream of water will hit the spoon 100% of the time and spray everywhere.

Prove me wrong while I mop my kitchen.

If you're wondering WHO they could get to direct / produce the #Melania movie, they got Brett Radner, accused of serial sexual predation, assault, rape and forced oral rape.

Clearly #Trump's kinda guy.

As for the crew, most of them have demanded their names be removed from the credits.

#Trump is due for another Test. He calls them IQ Tests (they're not, they're Cognitive Tests), and 'brags' that he's now taken 3 of them.

THIS DAY last year when the fools Adam Brooks and Guido Fawkes claimed that Sky News were on the verge of ceasing broadcasting on traditional television platforms and was going 'Online Only'.

“Federal agents involved in fatal shooting of Alex Pretti placed on administrative leave, in ‘standard protocol”, says CBP spokesperson:

Nope.

Standard Protocol after an ‘officer involved shooting’, would be to suspend them the same day.

Not FOUR days later.

In 1959 police were called to a segregated library in South Carolina when a young Ronald McNair refused to leave without his science book. He was just 9 years old at the time.

McNair went on to gain a PhD in Physics and was selected by NASA as an astronaut.

#Reform Council in #Derbyshire have closed SEVEN Adult Education Centres in FIVE months. No replacements. Eight remain, their future is uncertain.
