Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”
Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat others; before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it in your compassion for your neighbors.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The world is in chaos. It's experiencing a high degree of disorder, confusion, and instability.
Negative trends, political instability, social unrest, environmental problems, and personal struggles.
A lack of order in various aspects of life, from global events to individual experiences.

I'm nearly 80 and I've never seen a white person or a black person. I've seen millions, various shades of pink or brown or something in between. They were all human beings. What are we all fighting about?

If you created a Venn diagram of 'MAGA' and golf watchers who shout 'In the hole' during every drive, do you think one circle would fit entirely inside the other?

Five things that annoy introverts:
1. Uninvited interruptions during their alone time
2. Being pressured to socialize when they need solitude to recharge
3. Overly crowded and noisy environments
4. Constant small talk that lacks depth and authenticity
5. Being misunderstood as shy or anti-social

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
