Fauci spent his life, decades, saving lives; you on the other hand, in just a few months in government helped ended 100s of thousands of lives around the world and some estimates suggest the death toll could be in the millions. Not sure how you sleep at night.

BREAKING: Italy's deputy PM and foreign minister Antonio Tajani just CANCELLED his planned diplomatic trip to Washington on monday, declaring that Trump's "serious and offensive words" directed at the prime minister "offend all of Italy."
This comes after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni TORCHED Donald Trump after he claimed she “begged” him for a photo at the G7 and that he only took it because he “felt sorry for her.”
The Italian PM was wondering.
"I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; it’s not the first time this happens."
She went on saying, "I can only say that I’m sorry he doesn’t show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, whose leaders he instead shows himself to be much more accommodating towards."
Italy's prime minister is a boss lady.
Hugely concerning reports of a collision involving two passenger trains near Bedford.
First and foremost, my thoughts are with the family of the person who has sadly lost their life, and with those who have been seriously injured.
I am grateful to the emergency services for their swift response to this tragic incident.
Le gravi e offensive parole del Presidente Trump nei confronti del Presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni offendono tutta l’Italia. Per questo motivo ho deciso di annullare la mia visita negli Stati Uniti prevista per i prossimi 21 e 22 giugno.
🚨 Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni fires back at Trump:
“Donald Trump's statements are completely made up. I am frankly astonished. I don't know why the president of the United States behaves like this towards his allies, after all, it's not the first time it's happened.
I can only say it is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West and of the United States, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence," she said, adding: "There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg."
EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.
Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.
But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

BREAKING: HELL YES! The European Parliament formally demands that Albania END Jared Kushner's corrupt resort development in a massive blow to the President's son-in-law.
This is the nightmare scenario for Ivanka and her crooked husband...
“The Flamingo Protest shows that citizens care about protecting the environment and joining the EU. We will stand with them, supporting their protest against Trump allies who exploit their natural heritage and supporting their journey towards the EU,” said Dutch MEP Tineke Strik of the Greens–European Free Alliance.
Protests have swept Albania over the past month in opposition to the project, which includes a $1.4 billion development on an island and a $4.7 billion deal for a stretch of protected coastline. Because the development endangers wildlife including flamingos, the protests have been nicknamed "The Flamingo Revolution.
The EU previously warned Albania that the ecological disruption could endanger their bid to join the Union, because it runs afoul of their environmental rules. This new move from the European Parliament is an escalation of that campaign to abort the project.
The lawmakers adopted a resolution in their 2025 Commission Report on Albania which calls for an "immediate moratorium" on new permits as well as the termination of all construction in protected regions. While it doesn't specifically mention Kushner, the intent is clear. This is a response to his plutocratic endeavors.
"Europe should pay close attention to what is happening in Albania. There is no better guarantee for the path toward accession to the European Union than a living, conscious people capable of mobilizing against predatory capitalism, in defense of justice, the commons and freedom," said Italian MEP Ilaria Salis.
We stand with the proud, defiant people of Albania. They have every right to defend their beautiful country from the wicked tendrils of Donald Trump's family. Kushner wants to carve out yet another luxury playground for the war criminals, pedophiles, and sex traffickers of the Epstein Class.
He must be stopped.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Albania
Italian PM Meloni to Trump:
So, certain things deserve an immediate response.
Donald Trump's statements are completely fabricated. I am frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened.
I can only say it's a pity that he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaders towards whom he instead proves to be much more accommodating.
But he must remember one thing: Italy and I never beg.
I would like to appeal once again for reflection on the consequences of war and for their prevention through wise and responsible decision making, for this is not the result of an inevitable fate, but of free choices and, therefore, of morally accountable actions.
RFK Jr: "Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we've ever seen
The reality
It's SO GOOD that no one vaccinated in England has died from cervical cancer.
In fact it's on the way to eliminating it.
Yes - ELIMINATE CERVICAL CANCER
Don't listen to RFK Jr
Excellent investigative journalism by BBC Panorama, showing Russian involvement not just in arson attacks on Starmer’s house but also in anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim attacks. https://t.co/kGQ3uLDV1Z
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf
The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.
