This is just strange behavior, even from a dementia patient. Trump stops and waves. The camera zooms out to reveal that there’s nobody in the direction he’s waving. Apparently, he’s waving to the ghost of Lindsey Graham.

MUST READ: Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush and son of another President Bush, explains why he voted for James Talarico. In part: “My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico.”

The IDF are squeezing the people of Gaza into an even smaller area. 2.1 million people, now exist in just 35% of the original area of Gaza. Meanwhile, the IDF have killed 1460 Gazans, including 327 children, even though a 'ceasefire' is supposed to be in place since 10th October 2025.

The circle of life, Trump edition. Promise peace. Start a war. Buy oil from another warmonger. Help fund the war you promised to end. Putin gets richer. You get poorer. Happy midterms!

Our pensioners are at present, even under the triple lock considerably worse off than our fellow Europeans- & many others. Why is it always pensions & welfare benefits that are singled out? Bring in a wealth tax to fund the national social care service. ##labourisntlabouranymore

Irish Unity 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @IrishUnity “Four days after Russia started a war in Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia. We are now 716 days into a genocide – and yet Israel continue to be allowed to participate. Why, why is it double standards? FIFA and UEFA must suspend Israel.”

An interesting historical fact regarding the Balfour Declaration. One man, a Jew, forsaw the problems of the Zionist eventual dominance. 'And so it came to pass'.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Anonymous This is a rare photo of Donald Trump from 1934, helping Albert Einstein finish the theory of relativity. According to Trump, Einstein had been stuck for weeks. “Very smart guy. Terrible with numbers. I looked at the board and said, Albert, put a little 2 up there. He loved it."

A Philadelphia nun named Sister Rose Kuhn drives to a Texas immigration court weekly to sit next to unaccompanied children as young as 4 who are facing deportation hearings alone without relatives or an attorney so that they won’t have to face the judge by themselves. Heartbreaking and horrific.
