RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

Protip: when you're accused of domestic violence and breaking your toddler daughter's collarbone, and you go on TV to defend yourself, it's probably not the best idea to complain that you're being turned into a "punching bag."

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

Insanity would be letting this unhinged narcissist continue to occupy the oval office. The inability to live in reality, and the present, is not a quality you'd want in a top leader of the country.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) broke his silence Sunday regarding allegations that his daughter had been physically abused by her ex-husband, Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), calling his own Republican colleague a “danger to my daughter.”

Can you see a Quid-Pro-Quo? Big oil paid billions and WE got a war that sent their profits soaring. Remember it each time you fill up. The corruption just stinks and people are dying because of it.

Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform leader months before the election, and showed it to the treasurer in May 2024.So the man who claimed he “wasn’t involved in politics” and therefore didn’t need to declare gifts was already cutting leadership deals behind the scenes.😆

It's not easy to build a good University department. There are many pressures on academics and there are all uncertainties of recruitment and hiring, and of nurturing talent. Typically it takes many years. But you can destroy it pretty much in an instant.

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)
