F**cking epic. Meet Kristen Welker. She just did what all self-respecting reporters need to do. She pushed back. And the Cunt of Mostly Crisco had an epic meltdown and walked off set. Ok, less “walked.”More “staggered.” Ah, I love the smell of burning diapers in the morning.
@LeonQBailey@K911uot@HUChrisLL@Footballogue I generally avoid calling people names. This is with the hope that I can appeal to their sense of what is fair, what is acceptable or even reasonable. You, my friend trigger in me the most basic of human responses. I will not succumb but by golly, you sure are one in a million!
Trump completely lost it on Kristen Welker.
He said she was crooked, stupid and walked out of the interview!
I stand with Kristen Welker and all of the journalists Trump has attacked over the years.
Who is with me? ✋
Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:
“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”
You allowed this to happen for too long. From taxi drivers deciding that e-hailing drivers, friends and relatives could not transport people, to this. Videos of non-state actors "enforcing" their jungle law on South African streets have been circulating for so long. These actors were proud of their "law enforcement" and actually recorded it. You and your government were spectators. It is a sign that you were absent or too scared to face the backlash should you act against South Africans breaking the law. It doesn't matter how valid grievances are, NO STATE should quietly watch a parallel state emerge, with non-state actors deciding who belongs snd who doesn't, who must live or die. Your government, led by you, did that.
The first Africans to compete in the Olympic Games were two South Africans, Jan Mashiane and Len Taunyane, who competed in the Marathon at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics. Their participation in the infamous 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon is one of the most fascinating and bizarre chapters in sports history. Neither man traveled to the United States as an official Olympic athlete. They were in Missouri as part of the Boer War Spectacle at the World's Fair, which ran concurrently with the Games. They had previously served as dispatch runners during the Anglo-Boer War. They decided to enter the marathon on a whim just before the race began. Because officials struggled with their surnames, they were listed on the program as "LenTau" and "Yamasani". Taunyane was actually on pace for a much higher finish but was chased nearly a mile off-course by a pack of aggressive, wild dogs. Despite the canine detour and brutal conditions that caused 18 out of 32 runners to drop out, both South Africans finished the race. Taunyane finished 9th and Mashiane finished 12th.

Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.
Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.
Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.
Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.
With Elon Musk amplifying anti-Muslim propaganda and censoring pro-Muslim voices, I would like to have a test here:
Say hello if you don't have a problem that I'm a Muslim and that I'm just your friend on twitter.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Retiring from the British Army can be complicated...
Lt. Colonel Robert Maclaren retired from the British Army in 2001 after a long fulfilling career. On the day that he retired he received a letter from the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Defence setting out details of his pension and, in particular, the tax-free ‘lump sum’ award, (based upon completed years of service), that he would receive in addition to his monthly pension.
The letter read:
“Dear Lt. Colonel Maclaren,
We write to confirm that you retired from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards on 1st March 2001 at the rank of Lt Colonel, having been commissioned into the British Army at Edinburgh Castle as a 2nd Lieutenant on 1st February 1366.
Accordingly your lump sum payment, based on years served, has been calculated as £68,500. You will receive a cheque for this amount in due course.
Yours sincerely,
Army Paymaster”
Col Maclaren replied:
“Dear Paymaster,
Thank you for your recent letter confirming that I served as an officer in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards between 1st February 1366 and 1st March 2001 – a total period of 635 years and 1 month.
I note however that you have calculated my lump sum to be £68, 500, which seems to be considerably less than it should be bearing in mind my length of service since I received my commission from King Edward III.
By my calculation, allowing for interest payments and currency fluctuations, my lump sum should actually be £6,427,586,619.47p.
I look forward to receiving a cheque for this amount in due course.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Maclaren (Lt Col Retd)”
A month passed by and then in early April, a stout manilla envelope from the Ministry of Defence in Edinburgh dropped through Col Maclaren’s letter box, it read:
“Dear Lt Colonel Maclaren,
We have reviewed the circumstances of your case as outlined in your recent letter to us dated 8th March inst.
We do indeed confirm that you were commissioned into the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards by King Edward III at Edinburgh Castle on 1st February 1366, and that you served continuously for the following 635 years and 1 month.
We have re-calculated your pension and have pleasure in confirming that the lump sum payment due to you is indeed £6,427,586,619.47p.
However,
We also note that according to our records you are the only surviving officer who had command responsibility during the following campaigns and battles:
*The Wars of the Roses 1455 -1485 (Including the battles of Bosworth Field, Barnet and Towton)
*The Civil War 1642 -1651 (Including the battles Edge Hill, Naseby and the conquest of Ireland)
*The Napoleonic War 1803 – 1815 (including the battle of Waterloo and the Peninsular War)
*The Crimean War (1853 – 1856) (including the battle of Sevastopol and the Charge of the Light Brigade)
*The Boer War (1899 -1902).
We would therefore wish to know what happened to the following, which do not appear to have been returned to Stores by you on completion of operations:
*9765 Cannon
*26,785 Swords
*12,889 Pikes
*127,345 Rifles (with bayonets)
*28,987 horses (fully kitted)
Plus three complete marching bands with instruments and banners.
We have calculated the total cost of these items and they amount to £6,427,518.119.47p.
WE have therefore subtracted this sum from your lump sum, leaving a residual amount of £68,500, for which you will receive a cheque in due course.
Yours sincerely . . . .”
