There were two tiers of possible response to the express wishes of Henry Nowak's dignified family in the light of his traumatic murder. One humane and empathetic, the other inhumane and exploitative. This version of "Lyin' Eyes" (Eagles) is for @JDVance and those in the second.
I don't know about you guys, but watching Hunter Biden slay trolls with sharp wit and self-deprecating humor this week has made this site bearable.
Thank you, @HunterBiden.
Congrats on your sobriety milestone.
Give 'em hell, brother.🙏💪
I LOVE how @NicolleDWallace is covering this, with the same gusto the right wing went after Biden.
The White House SWEARS trump was wide awake yesterday, but we all know what wide awake is, don't we? trump was OUT.
He is a total laughingstock.
25th Amendment NOW
Hey Tim- go fuck yourself you sick and sad little vile man. Who harmed you so deeply that you feel it necessary to spew such hateful garbage. When does it stop. This irrational hatred- for people you’ve never met, simply because you don’t like the politics of their parents. Say whatever you want about me I can handle it. I’ve been dealing with douche bags like you for years. But leave President Obama’s children out of it. They are truly extraordinary people. That have more grace and intelligence than you could possibly imagine. Aim at me and leave innocent people out of your hateful mouth.
This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
FRIDAY PATRIOT UPDATE 🇬🇧💪
Absolutely raging today.
Last night I travelled all the way too BBC Question Time because I'd secured an audience ticket and intended too ask the hard-hitting questions the establishment doesn't want answered.
Questions like:
Why is Gary Lineker still allowed near microphones?
Are chemtrails taxable?
Would King Arthur have supported Reform?
Why does every weather map look suspiciously multicultural?
Unfortunately I was denied entry 😡
The BBC claimed it was because I was visibly drunk, smelled strongly of weed, kept pestering other audience members and had received multiple complaints from women in the queue.
But I know the REAL reason.
I'm a true-born English patriot wearing a turquoise Reform UK onesie 🇬🇧💪
The establishment fears the truth.
Apparently asking complete strangers:
"How patriotic are you on a scale of one too Churchill?"
every thirty seconds is considered anti-social behaviour.
One woman also objected when I introduced myself as:
"The future voice of silent Britain."
No pleasing some people.
After being removed by security I spent the night wandering around Manchester explaining politics too a kebab shop bin.
Then at 4am this morning I resumed canvassing for Rob Kenyon in Makerfield because patriots never quit 🇬🇧
The hostility has been extraordinary.
Even fellow racists seem weirdly annoyed when I knock on their doors before sunrise.
One bloke opened the door, listened too my speech for ten seconds and said:
"Mate, I agree with half your politics but it's four in the bloody morning."
Another shouted:
"I don't mind Reform. I mind YOU."
A third told me:
"You're the reason people lock their gates."
Honestly devastating.
One elderly woman mistook me for a burglar.
A fair assessment given the hour.
By 9am I was emotionally exhausted and sought refuge in a greasy spoon café in Wigan.
I'm currently sat here eating bubble and squeak, drinking tea and reflecting on my future.
Maybe Reform isn't enough.
Maybe I should defect too Restore Britain.
After all, they seem more committed too being loony racist .
Perhaps that's my political home.
Yet there is a problem.
The woman running this café is absolutely stunning.
And she's black.
Which is causing severe ideological difficulties.
I keep trying too concentrate on my Facebook conspiracy groups but every time she brings somebody a breakfast I find myself staring wistfully into the middle distance.
This morning she smiled and asked:
"Everything alright, love?"
I nearly renounced half my political beliefs on the spot.
It's all very confusing.
One minute I'm considering joining increasingly fringe political movements.
The next minute I'm wondering whether I should ask for her number and learn how too be a normal human being.
Perhaps the real lesson is that the world is more complicated than angry Facebook memes.
Or perhaps it's a psy-op organised by Starmer.
I'm not sure yet.
Anyway.
Back on the doors shortly 🇬🇧💪
Britain won't misunderstand me by itself.
Welcome back to another roundup of the recent friendlies with all the key notes:
👉🏻France 1-2 Ivory Coast
Very strong French team in the 1st half - they went into the break 1-0 up.
Cherki ($8m) scored the only goal and played the second most outfield minutes for France.
Both Mbappe & Olise played the first half, but neither managed an attacking return.
Olise, Mbappe and Cherki each shared corner duties whilst on the pitch together.
The standout performance came from Ivory Coast RB Guela Doue ($3.9m) who managed a goal and assist!
Amad ($5.9m) came off the bench and scored the late winning goal against the much changed French team.
- Tackle bonus: Akliouche, Inao Oulaï
👉🏻Spain 1-1 Iraq
Olmo, Porro and Ferran Torres amongst the starters in a heavily rotated Spanish team.
Olmo ($7.7m) did assist Ferran Torres ($7.8m) for the only Spanish goal, with both players also missing a big chance in the 45mins they each played.
Joan Garcia had a moment to forget as the Iraq goal scorer, Merchas Doski ($3.8m) basically crossed the ball into the net.
- SOT bonus: Ferran Torres
- Tackle bonus: Pino, Bernal
👉🏻Mexico 5-1 Serbia
Centre back Johan Vasquez ($4.7m) incredibly scores his 2nd goal in two friendlies.
Brian Gutierrez ($5m) was on corner duties and provided the assist for Vasquez from one in the first half.
Raul Rangel ($3.9m) did start in goal once again, despite news that Ochoa will play in the tournament.
Raul Jimenez ($7m) was one of the goal scorers, he also managed to hit the SOT bonus (+1pts).
- SOT Bonus: Jimenez
👉🏻Sweden 2-2 Greece
Another somewhat poor result for Sweden but Gyokeres ($7.8m) continues to perform for his country.
The Arsenal man scored a direct free kick (+1 extra point) and also claimed the SOT bonus (+1 pts).
Yasin Ayari ($5.3m) started the game and took Sweden’s only corner. He also created a big chance and hit the tackle bonus (+1pts).
- SOT bonus: Gyokeres, Elanga
- Tackle bonus: Ayari, Bergvall
👉🏻Netherlands 0-1 Algeria
I possibly wouldn’t read too much into the result as the goal came in the 86th minute and both teams had changed their entire teams by that point.
Van Hecke ($4.3m) started alongside Van Dijk in a strong XI and played the most minutes out of the Dutch players.
Donyell Malen ($6.1m) started and played decent minutes. Memphis Depay ($7.4m) did come on at HT for Summerville.
- SOT Bonus: Gakpo
👉🏻Morocco 4-0 Madagascar
Ismael Saibari ($6.8m MID) started up front and had an excellent 45 minutes, scoring two goals and also missing two big chances.
Veteran striker Ayoub El Kaabi ($5.9m) also scored, after replacing Saibari in the second half.
- Tackle bonus: El Mourabet
👉🏻Croatia 0-2 Belgium
Decent performance from Belgium in what was a very strong starting field for both sides.
Maxim De Cuyper ($4.7m) did manage a somewhat fortunate assist for Youri Tielemans ($6.1m).
Kevin De Bruyne ($7.5m) had a rare quiet game, playing 67 minutes and not creating a single chance!
Romelu Lukaku ($7.4m) did manage a goal off the bench in his 17 minute cameo.
- No bonuses awarded!
Hopefully these posts are useful mini summaries going into the last week before everything kicks off!
Thanks for reading the whole way through and I’ll see you for another roundup next week!

🚨HOLY SHIT BALLS! After being MISSING for a week after his hospital visit, Trump called a cabinet meeting out of the blue and can BARELY KEEP HIS EYES OPEN. He is losing consciousness in his seat.
This is absolutely nuts.
Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins: CNN's a very corrupt organization, with a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles. Young, beautiful woman, never smiles. I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing with such hatred in her eyes.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
