Today, @StateDept is imposing new visa restrictions to bar Far-Left Terrorists from entering our country.

Foreigners who finance, incite, or aid and abet Far-Left Terrorists are enemies of our civilization. They are not welcome in the United States.

@GYATarina Do we really run this over dignitary?

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

Graham was an unmarried man whose mannerisms and speech patterns read as effeminate or gay. To the extent his gayness was the “worst kept secret in Washington,” it was because if you heard the guy talk, you suspected he might be gay.

The “evidence” that he patronized male prostitutes is some anonymous posts on social media platforms and message boards that could be entirely fabricated. There has never been a single on-the-record claim or accusation from a named person. There has never been a shred of evidence. And I am sure a lot of people have looked for it, because outing someone like Graham as gay would make a progressive journalist’s career.

It is very difficult for a politician to regularly patronize sex workers without getting caught because it is difficult for someone who has to make financial disclosures to move money around to pay sex workers. That is how Eliot Spitzer got caught; moving his hooker money around created financial irregularities that attracted investigators.

Graham has never had any such financial irregularities. And while people on social media attribute the lack of any accusations against him to “NDAs,” his net worth was only $1.5 million. He didn’t have enough money to buy anyone’s silence because there are numerous places that would pay amounts he could never afford to get an embarrassing sex story about him on the record.

It is plausible and perhaps likely Graham was gay, but unlikely he patronized male prostitutes. The “Lady G” memes are most likely fabrications. He was probably celibate.

Thinking that a woman's salary is indicative of her socioeconomic class is just a category error

@GYATarina @NoVeggie5 Congrats! What’s your advice to actually dealing with purple with hook LB? What are your guidelines and principles? Particularly against Ezreal.

@NateLovesGallo @choiminhodiet @Chords1o The point of reframing the conversation around energy instead of calories is to help the girl avoid developing an eating disorder. Whether or not a cosmic brownie makes you feel energized is irrelevant. What matters is that the girl doesn’t think starving herself is healthy.

@StevenEdginton In the book the film is based on there is no South African killer, the death was a suicide assisted by a woman. The plot was changed by screenwriter Craig Mazin.

🚨 “HE WAS OLD ANYWAY… SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER?” 🚨

Those are the words a paramedic says were spoken after 86-year-old Edward Anderson died alone on the floor of his bedroom.

Let that sink in.

Edward was a husband. A father. A hospice patient. A human being who deserved dignity in his final days.

According to investigators, his overnight caregiver, Beatrice Taylor, fell asleep during her shift. Around 1 a.m., she allegedly heard a loud thump and found Edward trapped on the floor with his head wedged between his bed and a nightstand.

He was alive.
He was conscious.

Investigators say a call to 911 at that moment could have saved his life.

Instead, authorities allege she walked away and went back to sleep.

Hours later, investigators say she spent nearly 40 minutes on the phone with her parents before checking on him again. By then, Edward was unconscious. Even then, deputies say 911 was not called immediately.

Emergency responders weren’t contacted until 5: 37 a.m.

By the time they arrived…

Edward Anderson was gone.

The medical examiner ruled his death positional asphyxia, meaning he slowly suffocated while trapped.

Investigators say data from his pacemaker showed he survived for a period after the fall, and that prompt medical assistance could have prevented his death.

Then came the statement that has left so many people outraged.

A paramedic reported hearing the caregiver say:

“He was old anyway… so what does it matter?”

It matters because every life matters.

It matters because growing old does not erase a person’s value.

It matters because no one deserves to spend their final moments frightened, trapped, and alone when help was only a phone call away.

Authorities charged Beatrice Taylor with aggravated manslaughter of an elderly person.

Edward Anderson deserved compassion.

Instead, prosecutors allege he was abandoned when he needed someone most.

💔 Rest in peace, Edward.

I can’t let this go unchallenged.

That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault.

The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.

The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence.

What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim.

The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier.

In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

More disgusting racial police brutality by the Communist UK Stasi. Find out the name of the officer and make her life a living hell until she resigns.
