Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Today is the anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Let’s hope history repeats itself with its successor.

This is Kristina Solovyova. Russian terrorists killed her in Zhytomyr striking residential buildings with drones on December 23. She was only 4🕯

Good morning.

Gonna have a pop at multi-millionaire Dicky Tice this morning.

The same Dicky Tice that hates foreigners in our country, hates muslims, is an MP for Boston & Skegness but lives in Dubai under SHARIA LAW!

Having a pop at children wearing ear defenders because he's a class 1 knobhead.

She’s not wrong. It’s an homogenous blob of same chocolates. Same shapes bar a couple. Bland boring and also tiny. Brands are about delivering the same product each time. This is a joke of shrink flation on steroids

With regard to your budget, please listen to Hilary from our village. She’s married to Roger & sings soprano in the church choir.
People aren’t bothered about the minimum wage or income tax.
They want a return to good old fashioned Quality Street!

Everyone should watch this
By (likely) leaking the peace plan, Russia set the agenda here. The Kremlin understands the value of this. Europe does not or is too politically paralyzed to do anything about it. Either way, it is to Ukraine’s detriment.

WELKER: Was this 28 point plan written by Russia?

BESSENT: I have no information on that

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Europe is a threat to Trump. He has sided with Putin. It’s time to understand that 🇺🇸 under Trump is a foe. Europe must become a superpower and lead the world

I’m shaking in anger over the traitorous 🇺🇸 Trump Ukraine capitulation. If we don’t do something about this we are doomed

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Whew! This video isn’t just spilling the tea on Usha Vance. It makes a much bigger point.

People who think they’re getting over by being white-adjacent are in for a rude awakening. It never lasts.
