$95 million of the Live Aid concert money in 1985 meant for starving Ethiopians bought guns for the Marxist factions fighting each other.
This was the finding of a BBC investigation years after Bob Geldof’s concert raised over $125 million when the world saw the famine that killed over a million people.
Ethiopia was never colonized, yet Western guilt and empathy were abused.
Still remains a cautionary tale on why every dollar of aid has to be scrutinized hard or it ends up arming the people prolonging the suffering instead of feeding the ones who need it.
Because as a result of this mismanagement, lives were lost DUE to millions in aid.
Context: a drought hit at the same time the ruling Derg, a Marxist military junta, was collectivizing farms and diverting grain reserves to fight the rebels.
The famine still happened because Marxist central planning had wrecked food production and the civil war made the drought catastrophic.
Another historic temple was lit on fire in Japan today. This is Kōdaiji Temple in Kyoto, founded in 1606.
Why is it that churches and temples keep burning but not mosques?

NEW: Per multiple federal sources, ICE made roughly 51,000 immigration arrests during the month of July, an average of 1,645 per day and the highest single month of arrests the agency has ever recorded. This comes after ICE made roughly 43,000 arrests in the month of June, which was record setting at the time.
Bottom line, ICE has now notched back to back months of their highest arrest totals in agency history after a brief dip in the numbers in the aftermath of Minneapolis and the DHS shutdown.
Thousands of new ICE hires are hitting the streets, and the agency's coffers are plush with billions in cash after two reconciliation bills to fund them during Trump's second presidency.
🚨 JUST IN: The US Senate has OVERWHELMINGLY voted to advance the House’s CR, which would keep the government open until December 11, 89-4
This goes to show how much the uniparty works together when they’re trying to go on vacation.
Reports of invaders climbing out the top of a lorry in Essex today.
We've a rough estimated how many are coming via boat.
How many are getting in this way?
Likely far far bigger a number.
I was added to a group chat.
Nobody asked. My phone made a sound and I was in a room with nine Americans and a name at the top that said "THE BOYS 🏈🔥."
I did not know four of them.
Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CONSCRIPTED INTO A COUNCIL WHOSE PURPOSE AND MEMBERSHIP HAVE NOT BEEN DISCLOSED TO ME.
The first message I received was a photograph of a lawnmower with no caption.
Eleven replies. Nobody asked what the lawnmower was. Everyone understood immediately. One man replied "LMAOOO" with four O's, and another replied "no way he did it again."
He did it again. Somebody had done something again. With a lawnmower. Previously.
I have never learned what happened. There is no way to ask. To ask would reveal that I am new, and I have been in this chat for fourteen months.
Then I learned the rules.
You do not say hello. There is no greeting. You simply begin, mid-thought, as though continuing a conversation that has been running since 2019, because it has.
You do not answer questions directed at the group. Someone else will. If nobody does, the question dies, and nobody mourns it, and the man who asked it will bring it up again in six weeks with no reference to the first attempt.
You do not leave. Leaving generates a system message. The system message is visible to all. There is no discreet exit. The only way out is death, and even then someone will post in it.
Inside I said: THERE IS NO GATE OUT. THE WALLS FACE INWARD.
I said nothing for four months.
Then one night at 11 PM, a man posted "anybody up."
Two words. No question mark.
Three people replied within a minute. Then a fourth. Then they talked for two hours about nothing.
I understood then what the chat is for.
It is not for information. It has never carried information. It is a light left on in a window so that a man who cannot sleep can see that the house is still there.
Last month my father was ill.
I did not say so. I would not say so.
At 1 AM I typed "anybody up."
Four replies in ninety seconds. Nobody asked why. Nobody asked if I was alright. They simply began talking about a football game from 2011 and an argument they have been having about it for a decade.
They talked until 3 AM.
Then one of them wrote, "night, brother."
Just that. To me. Singular.
He knew.
They all knew.
Nobody said a word about it and nobody ever will and I have never in my life been held so carefully by people who refused to admit they were doing it.
After their slave revolt, Haiti’s founder ordered the killing of all white people on the island. Soldiers went house to house killing thousands including women and children.
They took full control, purged the population they blamed, and turned the richest colony in the Caribbean into the poorest and most dysfunctional country in the Western Hemisphere.
Today, their descendants demand entry into the West they fought to escape, refuse to return to the mess they and their ancestors created, and are for some reason strongly convinced that borders are racist.
WTF. This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever read
The MA Department of Children & Families (@Mass_DCF) sent a letter to convicted s*x offender Michael Carr, asking him if he wanted to be the foster parent for a 2-YEAR-OLD.
It gets WORSE...
The 2-year-old toddler belongs to the now-adult VICTIM that Michael Carr s*xually abused as a minor six years ago.
How does this happen?!?!
Here’s an example of how ridiculously easy it is to find human smuggling advertisements from Indian smuggling networks on Instagram.
I recorded this just moments ago.
All I did was search “Canada to USA Safe” and was immediately met with account after account advertising illegal crossings and transportation services into the United States.
Keep in mind, there are countless other keywords, phrases, hashtags, and coded terms being used across Instagram and TikTok that produce the same results. Spend enough time digging and you’ll find an entire ecosystem openly connecting illegal migrants with human smugglers.
The reality is that if a journalist can find these networks in a matter of minutes, so can migrants looking for a route into the United States, and so can law enforcement.
Yet for some reason, these advertisements continue to operate in plain sight as the Northern Border remains wide open.
BREAKING: Jason Poledouris, a man pretending to be a woman, arrested in Oklahoma on charges of allegedly possessing and distributing child p**n. He also allegedly talked about engaging in sexual acts with children.
It’s always the people you least expect…
Hasan Piker (@hasanthehun) and Abdul El-Sayed (@AbdulElSayed) just had a conversation about how “white bros” are supporting them, before going on a rant about how all white bros do is make bets on Kalshi, be mean to the women in their lives, and sit in their basements all day.
Clearly, the Islamic Communists who now control the Democrat Party hate white men.
Remember this in November.
Ketanji Brown Jackson and Michelle Obama are effectively arguing that Black college students should be surrounded by other Black students so they can “find their people.” We used to call separating people by skin color segregation. Now the left calls it belonging, representation, and inclusion. Everything is about skin color for them. We have a former first lady and a sitting Supreme Court justice still playing the race game as they sit among some of the most influential and powerful people in the world. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
