I have an inferiority complex but frankly it's not a very good one. No DMs unless you're a stunning nymphomaniac brewery heiress with a father on life support.

Kemi Badenoch continues: ‘I can see why so many people were very fond of Jeffrey Archer. You know, we wanted him to be our mayoral candidate, and then yet another thing happened.’ Happened? He didn’t sit on a box of chocolates. He was sent to prison for perjury and perverting the course of justice.

DHS reportedly collected data about anti-ICE protestors in Maine, uploading their photos and license plate numbers into a database. That database was built by Palantir — which may be the most dangerous corporation in America. Watch.

My 12 year old nephew just informed me you can put the word "anal" in front of any type of Ford car and it makes sense. His favorite model is the Anal Escort but I kinda like the Anal Freestyle.

🔥 Russia’s oligarchs face a crisis: The war is costly, the Kremlin needs cash. Now Putin is coming for their money. But it cuts both ways: Russia's elites see Vladimir Putin has outlived his utility. 👉 Putin has triggered a chain reaction that will have dire consequences.

Nicki Minaj is not a US citizen. She’s a green card holder. Her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered sex offender. Her brother, Jelani Maraj, was convicted of repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. So, of course, she’s MAGA.

The incontinent conman is lying . . . GDP grew by 2.8% in 2024 under the Biden; current GDP growth is now 1.5%. US national debt was $36 trillion in 2024; it's now >$40 trillion. Inflation was 3.1% in 2024; it's now 3.4%. The annual deficit is now 6% of GDP; double the historical norm.

Wow..Israel gives Britain 30 days to shut its consulate in Jerusalem, a building that's been there since 1838, older than Israel itself, after the UK announced a ban on Israeli settlement imports and accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" in the West Bank.
