Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

They've got him watching Saving Private Ryan on repeat.

Sounds about right.

Troops in major cities. Next may come Trump explaining the national climate is "just too dangerous" to vote in 2026. That's how the authoritarian takeover works. Step by step.

According to FullFact.org, under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, only 2 of their 42 manifesto pledges were delivered.

Conversly, Starmer - elected in July 2024 - has enacted 57 of Labour's 83 manifesto Pledges.

And Kemi wants to reverse them all.

Badenough conference spech this morning took credit for founding the Police Force (1829), Votes for the Working Man (1867), Votes for women (1926) and the Welfare State(?) (1942).

Funny how she couldn't think of anything useful they'd introduced in the late 15 years.

If we’re drawing up a list of people who should be in jail…

Donald J. Trump • O @realDonald Trump
Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!
Governor Pritzker also!

Kristi Noem get a bird's-eye view of the carnage and destruction amid fierce fighting in Portland, Oregon, and comes face-to-face with the marauding troops of the invading libtard illegal alien army.

You know, I wonder is Trump is seeing this, or if he's being shown AI-footage of Stalingrad?

Dunno why. This sprang to mind.

Image shows Father Ted and Father Dougal over image of 4'10" Stephen Millar.

No Dougal, she is normal size. He is very far on the right

His own little Putin - giving him orders too.

Stephen Millar has been compared to Dr Josef Goebbels, the evil a****hole behind the propaganda of the Nazis - and a good deal of their policies too. Understandable.

It’s also worth recalling Goebbels was known as “the Poison Dwarf”.

Sorry about the negative sentiment to little people.

When @AOC says Stephen Miller is 4'10, she isn't lying.

After spending an entire morning defending his suggestion that there are too many non-white faces in the UK, Robert Jenrick ends his speech with the line: "Let's take our country back".

Police have cracked a gang responsible for stealing half of all phones in London and many more across the UK, then shipping them to China.

One iPhone led police to gang who sent 40,000 snatched phones to China

BBC News is given access to what the Met Police says is the UK's largest operation against mobile phone thefts.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

Musk and Trump will cry when Greta Thunberg collects the Nobel Peace Prize.
I hope she bakes them some cream pie.
