In recent weeks, Trump-backed candidates have lost 10 primaries — the same amount his picks lost in '18, '20, and '24 combined. His approval rating just hit a new second-term low of 33%. He's flailing on the economy and Iran War. The Emperor has no clothes. He is not all powerful. Remember this.

Meat-packing giant JBS wants to fully acquire Pilgrim’s Pride, a major poultry producer. This will lead to more concentration in the meat industry and even higher prices. Pilgrim’s Pride just so happened to be the largest donor to Trump’s inauguration. Gee I wonder what Trump will do next?

And what IS the "German identity"? A right-wing fascist history of burning books, persecuting non-Aryan races and jews? Sounds like something that #Farage / #Reform want for Britain #Germany #AfD #Europe #NATO #EU #fascism #ukpolitics #wato #bbcnews

Epi 2 of The Labour Files about the UK Zionists' vile attack on Jeremy Corbyn and others over 'antisemitism' which was NOTHING of the kind. The Zionists are violent, threatening, telling lie after lie. This is where criticising Israel became the 'new antisemitism'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DTM...
