I have a keen interest in current affairs. I am passionately anti-Brexit and have a distinct dislike of those with extreme right wing views. I am generally to be found in the middle ground, with a tilt to the left on occasions.

People are beyond fickle. Trump mentions the inevitably of a united Ireland and many of those who were up in arms about the Epstein Files, his support for Israel, and his waging of war on Iran, suddenly rid their minds of all of his perceived wrongdoing.

How pathetic is Google Maps renaming Lake Ontario in a sop to Trump? Well, I'm going to stage my own little protest. Google is no longer my default browser. It won't bring Google down, but if enough people do likewise, it will impact. #LakeOntario #GoogleMaps #Trump

The U.S. fought an undeclared war with Iran for 108 days. Fifteen Americans killed. $113.3 billion spent. Iran's nuclear program not addressed. Hormuz not secured. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, and Jordan are now coordinating Iran's economic recovery. We paid for their investment.

Trump gets the "FIFA Peace Prize." Months later his DOJ drops a bribery case involving FIFA officials. FIFA "leases" office space at Trump Tower NYC that reportedly sits empty. Meanwhile, federal regulators look the other way as FIFA price gouges fans. Where's the red card when you need it?
