I put off watching Tucker Carlson’s interview with Jacob Rees Mogg but I did want to see if it’s been taken out of context. It has not. Carlson absolutely argued that Britain would be better off to have not fought in WWII, that Germany was justified in invading Poland, and more than in that vein.

Cold War Steve excels in artistically manipulating photographs and paintings to comment on current political affairs. He first produced this image round about January 2025 in response to certain salutes made by Elon Musk. In this image a 1930s photograph of crowds lining a German street festooned with Nazi flags cheer a parade of vehicles. In the front vehicle - a Tesla - stands not Hitler, but instead Elon Musk, returning the Nazi salutes of the crowd. The remaining fleet of vehicles consists of tank-like Cybertrucks.
