@SophieJovi Robertson gone, salah gone, konate gone and this cartoon thinks we would be stronger with Munoz and Barcola next year.

[#𝕎𝕒𝕣 ℍ𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕫𝕠𝕟 @WarHorizon]

White House releases a website documenting whatever we have been saying for 6 years 🔥

Covid was Manmade Bioweapon.
Social distancing and mask rules were made up.

People who exposed this were censored by diffrent Govts and Big Tech Companies.

This should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.

@FabrizioRomano @Carra23 are u paying attention?

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Thank you, Tulsi, for documenting Dr. Fauci's central role in causing the COVID-19 pandemic — among the most consequential crimes in human history.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

On her way out, @TulsiGabbard dropped bombshell documents proving Dr. Fauci colluded with a politicized intel community to bury the lab-leak truth and lie to Congress. I've referred him to the DOJ multiple times for prosecution.

The evidence keeps mounting, but more will be coming soon.

[Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi]

THE U.S. CAUSED THE COVID PANDEMIC, not China, the U.S. government revealed today.

“It's time the American people learn the real story," spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a sensation-causing video released on X and a statement on the internet.

And what a story it is.

.

TRUTH AT LAST
The US spent millions to finance a lab in China’s Wuhan to experiment on killer viruses.

The research was on a technique called “gain of function” which some people see as weaponization of the viruses.

That research is “now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic,” said Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence.

“This dangerous research caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives,” she added.

.

PREFERRED NARRATIVE
After the pandemic broke out, Washington then worked to tell the world it could not have been a lab leak.

The preferred story circulating at the time was to say that animal-to-human transmission evolved in China due to the circumstances there.

But the evidence tells a different tale, the US spy chief said, releasing a new batch of top secret documents today, her last day in office. "It's time you know the truth," she said.

.

120 BIOLABS

The story begins with the US quietly setting up 120 biological laboratories across more than 30 countries. Some of these laboratories were involved in research on hazardous pathogens, she said.

Dr Anthony Fauci, while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sent millions of dollars of US taxpayer cash to be spent on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, she said.

In 2019, the Covid-19 virus apparently emerged in several locations around the world—but was first formally detected by scientists in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019.

It was soon found all over the world. The “pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions,” Gabbard said.

.

PREFERRED NARRATIVE
For the US, the preferred story was that it was NOT a lab leak—because the world would realize that the Pentagon was financing biolabs around the world, and at home.

People raising the alarm about the biolabs were accused of “pushing Russian and Chinese disinformation”.

When the existence of the labs could not be denied, the BBC and other media reported that they were “peaceful labs” which were financed for entirely positive reasons—a line that Pentagon-watchers found hard to swallow.

.

LIED ABOUT INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION
Fauci worked with senior intelligence agents in the early days of the pandemic to shape the narrative but lied about it, Gabbard said.

In his testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2024, he was asked under oath whether he had communicated with intelligence agencies concerning viral research before, during or after the pandemic.

Fauci replied: "Not to my knowledge, about COVID."

In January 2025, many people were puzzled when Former President Joe Biden issued “a pre-emptive pardon” to Fauci. Pardons, by definition, are given to people who have broken the law—but this had not happened at that time.

.

TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP
Gabbard is retiring to spend more time with her husband, who has cancer.

But she wanted to get the truth about this subject out there before she disappeared. She says the evidence indicates US-funded research was the root of the problem.

"The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world,” she said.

Oh my word, finally. Vindication

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Victor Muñoz to Liverpool for £35 million, and not one of the self-proclaimed "in-the-know" accounts saw it coming.

No leaks. No exclusives. No cryptic tweets.

For all the noise around the transfer industry, it's remarkable how often the biggest deals happen without the usual crowd having a clue. Every window we're told who has sources, who is connected, who knows what's happening behind the scenes. Then a £35 million signing appears out of nowhere and the silence is deafening.

It's a reminder that much of football's online transfer culture is built on repetition rather than revelation, accounts recycling the same information, amplifying each other, and presenting educated guesses as insider knowledge.

This is simply a reality check. If a deal of this size can be wrapped up without a whisper from most of the transfer ecosystem, perhaps it's time to be a little more sceptical of those who claim to know everything before everyone else.

@FabrizioRomano @WilsonCoxLFC @indykaila I am looking at you with shame and dissappointment.

[Omar Q. 🇨🇦 @omarq03]

Ahead of Qatar 2022, the conversation was dominated by headlines about labour conditions, discrimination, and extreme heat. Yet once the tournament began, the football, the atmosphere and the organisation became the story.

Fast forward to 2026, and the scrutiny feels remarkably selective. Concerns over infrastructure, stadium readiness, and fan experience are visible to anyone paying attention, yet they attract only a fraction of the attention Qatar received.

Major sporting events should be judged by the same standard regardless of geography. If accountability matters in Doha, it should matter in North America too. Consistency, not convenience, is the true test of principled journalism.

Expect better from these folks in Saudi 2030.

What people dont understand is that we had to endure Gakpo this past season. Having nunez would be a SERIOUS UPGRADE

[Omar Q. 🇨🇦 @omarq03]

What would break the internet? Aug 30th 2026, Salah announces he is back at Liverpool.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Five years ago, Salman, Madiha, Yumnah, and Talat Afzaal were killed in a brutal act of Islamophobic terror in London, Ontario. 

We stand with their loved ones and the Muslim community across Canada who still live with the loss and the trauma of this tragedy. 

It is our duty to match remembrance with responsibility. Through concrete actions, including new legislation to combat Islamophobia and hate in our communities, we will build a country where all Muslim Canadians can live their lives without fear.
