RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The British government ignored all 20 recommendations in a nationwide investigation into grooming gangs and child sexual exploitation. The British government accepted all 27 recommendations in a review into antisemitism in schools and colleges.

In a country where 3 million people are forced to go to foodbanks and 13 million people live in poverty, Wes Streeting insists each household must stockpile 3 days worth of food and provisions. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Breaking. ‘Lawless Britain’ isn’t actually lawless.

So, word on the street is that news is dropping tomorrow about a sitting U.S. senator getting caught paying male escorts. It's supposedly dropping in the late morning. A number of media folks claim to be in the know. I guess we'll see where this goes.
