They are forgetting that the emperor was only welcomed by the people to take over the Roman Republic because of the bread and circus. We have the dictator but our oligarchs are also too greedy to give out free bread and free entertainment. They can’t have it both ways…

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.

Owl of Athena! 🦉❤️ The goddess’s sacred bird with helmet and weapons transformed into a tiny armed warrior! Red-figure ceramic vessel made in Athens around 2,400 years ago! 📷 Louvre Museum, Paris collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/5335... #Archaeology
The Louvre image shows an ancient Athenian ceramic vessel decorated with an orangey-red coloured owl with weapons and helmet against a glossy black slip background. The owl’s details are defined in black. The owl stands facing right, with body in profile and head tilted slightly forwards and turned full-face towards the viewer. It has large circular eyes outlined in black, a small pointed v-shaped beak, and dense plumage represented by dots on the head, and rows of short black lines and dots on the broad wing at its side. It wears a helmet and has a human-like right arm holding a long spear horizontally at its side, and on the other side, at right, is a large round shield. The figure appears quite comic and endearing, at least to the modern eye.

The Louvre describes the vessel as an ‘oinochoe’, that is a wine jug with a single handle (looks like a cup to me!). The handle is not seen in the image. Dimensions: Height: 6.4 cm, Diameter 6 cm. Dated 425-375 BC. The vessel is displayed on a small black museum plinth against a light grey background.

Owl imagery on red-figure ceramic cups and jugs was extremely popular some 2,500 years ago and they were produced in large quantities in pottery workshops in Athens and beyond.

The migrant surge from Morocco into Ceuta is a war campaign of fascist russia against Europe. It is modelled on russia's 2021 campaign to push migrants through Belarus into Poland and Lithuania, but now on a much bigger scale. Russia is at war with the West. Ukraine's foreign minister:

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing - Colonies surged 15-fold

A lab-made diet supercharged bee colonies and could help save our food supply.

Date:

March 27, 2026

Source:

University of Oxford

Summary:

Scientists have developed a breakthrough "superfood" for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled tri-als, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.
