The FAA has announced that from April 1st the use of the term TRANSponder is be erased from all US official aviation protocols and publications to be immediately replaced with ‘GPS monitor’

Just watching the Georgia Ford Federal arrest fiasco, for filming at that Church protest against the ICE pastor! Dom Lemon has also been arrested for the same protest reporting. Is this now ‘the American way’?

I’ve just heard a Baptist preacher say “America is is using ICE to destroy the country! So the Lord has decided to use ICE to punish America! It’s God’s will

So, the BBC have decided to isolate the country even more by depriving their expats, the joy of access to British radio in the name of “copyright infringement” How progressive!

Lindsey Hoyle the parliamentary House speaker, entertaining the Congress Speaker Johnson, who has failed to act in the interest of the American people as he would rather lie about everything to satisfy his master!

Haha!

POLITICO Europe@politico.eu

Less than 24 hours after the European Parliament voted to ban plant-based foods across the EU from using names like “burger,” “sausage” or “steak” — the institution’s canteen in Strasbourg served up a “vegan burger” as its healthy lunch option.

Tell me, why is justice in a jury trial decided ONLY by a unanimous decision of 12 people, then why is it not the case with Supreme Court decisions that they have to have unanimous decisions and wouldn’t that avoid obvious partisan votes? 6 people deciding what 300million have to accept is ludicrous

Zelensky and the Ukrainian security services, have pulled off a massive military success and you had no idea it was happening. The mightily US intelligence machine has been humiliated by a small yet highly significant player in their war with your buddy Putin! You’re all traitors to America

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I cannot believe that people are shocked with the passing of Pope Francis. He was 88 has had many medical issues for years and he kept himself alive to see the Holy Week done. I said to myself, when I saw him on Sunday - “better call the cardinals” !

This is an outstanding idea. I’m a Brit partnered with a New Yorker na born in Virginia and I’ve been saying this for weeks and weeks. The Dem elected Ken Martin as their DNC Chair - what’s he doing? The Dems need to pound the message and Pete is the man to do it. Give him the authority Dems!

Pinto Man@pintoman99.bsky.social

You need to do this Pete, and Congress needs to make it happen.

I’ve been saying this for months and I’m a Brit who’s partner is Virginian - long time New Yorker. I put forward this idea; the Dems need a strong voice that is listened to by the major media, who is also prepared to go on Fox! Sharp, articulate and honest. Wake up dems!

Well, it was bound to happen eventually- Trump showing his true colours! Unable to take criticism or to be questioned about his grift, he resorts to rudeness and real disrespect. He’s created a true hero in Zelensky. Finally, he reacts to being told “NO” the USA is being destroyed from within!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

If we say that all of the Covert CIA activity in the Bourne movies is ALL fiction - but isn’t, will the spooks take this attack on their organisation from Trump by playing dumb?

The USA main grand slam courts are called Arthur Ashe & Louis Armstrong. Australia - Rod Laver & Margaret Court. Roland Garros - Philippe Chatrier, Suzanne-Lenglen & Simonne-Mathieu. At Wimbledon - it’s just Centre Court non1 etc - Why not Fred Perry & Virginia Wade?

The access to data by the Chinese government of Tik Toc users, is aimed at the youth, many of whom will be in positions of political and economic influence in their future careers. Do you truly want the Chinese to have that access to their information? Think about it. Not available in China!

That’s it - I’m closing down my Facebook and instagram and threads account. Zuckerberg is a modern day quisling (look him up) and his comments about the Biden administration “shouting at him” is disgraceful. His only concern is PROFIT!

Why is that many well educated and professional people are involved in securing laws and then you allow 9 individuals with similar knowledge and credentials to have the final word on so many decisions - and for the rest of their appointed lives!

As Americans continue to reel from the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 students and 2 teachers dead, headlines and commentators repeat a common refrain: The U.S is the only country where this happens. 1/4

In the aftermath of the shooting, parents in Dunblane were able to mobilize with the kind of effectiveness that has eluded American gun control activists. By the following year, Parliament had banned private ownership of most handguns, as well as semi-automatic weapons, 3/4

As Americans continue to reel from the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 students and 2 teachers dead, headlines and commentators repeat a common refrain: The U.S is the only country where this happens. 1/4

Nowadays that may be true, but 26 years ago, it happened in Scotland. In March 1996, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School, killing 16 students, a teacher, and injuring 15 others. To this day, it is the deadliest mass shooting in UK history. But that's where the similarities end. 2/4

This ‘border tzar’ wants to deport criminals - so how come the Mafia has been in existence since the 30s? They’re all immigrants or descendants of immigrants - that’s America!

ICE - rearrange that to read Gestapo! This ‘border tzar’ says “day one” we will be “on the streets” . Listening to his “Trump lies” speak, is disturbing! He’s a rude fucker too!

Measles is killing thousands of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where there are problems getting vaccines to families. In a few weeks - when RFK Jnr takes control, they’ll be plenty for all as the USA sees eradicated diseases explode and Africa gets healthy at last! Gotta flog em!

We know that Trump is a cheat, crook and rapist and has lied his way into the White House - again. Tried to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power, destroyed a man’s life who still worships him and now he nominates a serial conspiracy theorist as FBI chief. Wait as inflation hits the roof America

How are eggs going to be cheaper when America can’t get the bird flu H5N1 virus under control? If left to JFK Jnr., the next pandemic is likely to develop in the USA.45 States have been hit by this virus, yet it doesn’t seem that the Federal authorities are having much success in stemming the spread

So he’s decided to withdraw early - did he ever do that when…….? Did he withdraw or was he pushed? He was told to fuck off by his boss elect!

I’ve finally dumped Sissy Space X ‘s ego trip platform. I hear that Bluesky is the place to be and to exercise honesty and truth! I’m liberal but not woke in the slightest. I support common sense in every area of living!

You are up to date.
