I have written to the interim Permanent Under Secretary at the Foreign Office setting out the questions we wish Mr Collard to answer.

Succes weer voor de politiemensen daar in dienst: 'Een groep demonstranten van #XR heeft de #A12 betreden nabij knooppunt Oudenrijn. De #politie bereidt zich voor op het verwijderen van de demonstranten en het opheffen van de blokkade', meldt @GemeenteUtrecht op X.

@durov Dat is echt bizar dat belastinggegevens zo lek kunnen gaan en dan ook nog voor die criminaliteit zorgen.

@jamespriceglos The contradictions in these appointments are wild. Hard to trust the security apparatus when the lines are that blurred.

@PhilipHensher Visiting all 26 cantons sounds like an incredible summer mission!

@CharlieMoloney That's a tough tension to balance. It feels like the line between necessary scrutiny and unnecessary harm is constantly shifting.

Good morning America! Peach trees are blooming on our farm in Kentucky. I’ve planted about 14 different varieties here over the years.

@ssgtwrightusmc This is my daughter, Kristen Charbonneau. She disappeared in August 2005. FBI refused to get involved, we had to beg the local media to air her story. She remains missing and not one detective looks at her case. She is just as important as anyone else.

Born October 20, 1950, in Gainesville, Florida, to a mother who worked in a local tax office and a father who was a traveling salesman.

His childhood was marked by a "Southern Gothic" atmosphere of severe, physical abuse from his father, which he later described as "living in hell." His father struggled to accept that he was a quiet, artistic child rather than the sports- or hunting-minded son he expected. The violence began at an early age; one incident occurred when he was roughly five years old, leaving him with welts from head to toe. The abuse affected not only him but also his younger brother and mother. At one point, he briefly ran away to live with his grandmother to escape the violence.

While his father was abusive, his mother was a nurturing figure who encouraged his artistic pursuits and introduced him to records. She particularly favored Hank Williams and other country artists, which shaped his early tastes. Unlike his father, she supported his dreams and encouraged him to pursue music beyond their small town.

At age 10, his uncle took him to a film set in Florida where he met Elvis Presley, an encounter he later described as "life-altering." He famously said, "Elvis glowed," and that single moment hooked him on rock and roll and sparked his lifelong love of music. Watching the Beatles on television a few years later further convinced him that music was something he could actually do. He soon began playing in garage bands and dropped out of high school at 17 to pursue music full-time.

Despite a childhood that could have derailed him, he overcame enormous challenges to become a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, fronting a long-running American rock band, founding an earlier group, and later joining a legendary supergroup with multiple Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members. Over his career, he sold more than 80 million records worldwide.

He won 3 Grammy Awards, received 18 Grammy nominations, and performed at the Super Bowl halftime show. He was also known for standing up for fans, once publicly challenging a record label over raising album prices, and opposing the use of his music without permission.

Later in life, he made a conscious choice to "let go of all the hatred" toward his father, supporting him financially and even buying him a car. In turn, his father would attend his concerts in Florida and expressed pride in his music, once saying, "That was really good."

Beyond music, he voiced a fan-favorite character on an animated television series, had a city park in his hometown renamed in his honor, and one of his songs is played at every home football game for a major university. His music has resurfaced decades later in major pop-culture moments, including one of the most-watched video game trailers ever.

He used his music and influence repeatedly to support charitable causes, schools, and disaster relief, turning the challenges of his early life into something positive for others.

He married twice, had two daughters, and spent most of his adult life living in California, after growing up in Florida. His story is a testament to resilience: someone who could have done nothing with his life instead channeled pain into art, inspiration, and generosity, leaving a legacy that continues to move and uplift people around the world.

Do you know who this legend is?

"I was pulled over Wednesday morning by a TN State Trooper. When he came up to the car he asked 'Why are the two boys in the back seat not in car seats?' My answer was the two little boys were my foster sons who I had just got the night before. I showed him paper work and explained to him that when I got them they had the clothes they were wearing and that is about it. No carseat, no toys, no coats, and so on. He was very nice to the kids and to me. He asked me for my phone number. I gave it to him. His wife called me and asked about the boys. This morning Officer Tidwell met me in Waverly, him and his wife had purchased gifts for the boys. Not just the two boys in the back seat but, their older brother too.

I cannot thank him enough for the kindness he has shown these three boys. I never asked him for anything. He and his wife acted out of the kindness of their hearts. He showed these boys that there are very nice cops out there and I hope he has left a lasting impression on them that cops are good. The boys have been telling everyone that 'cops are nice.' He has made their day. You hear way too much negative stuff now days so, here is some good news for you all."~Credit: HT Tennessee Highway Patrol

In October 2001, supermodel Karen Mulder went on a French talk show and accused powerful people -- including Politicians and Royals -- of Sexual Abuse and Human Trafficking.

The interview was pulled before it aired, and the footage was destroyed.

Mulder was called "crazy" and admitted to a psychiatric hospital -- but one of the Abusers was later outed as an Epstein fixer, and another was retroactively charged with multiple Rapes.

She was telling the TRUTH all along.

Can some of the “Hot Girls for Zohran” help clean up the trash? Thx

🚨 BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee has officially voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS for IGNORING a subpoena

This will now move on to the full House, which could very likely result in at least HILLARY being ARRESTED.

They arrested Bannon and Navarro for this exact same reason, and both of them spent time in prison.
