Everyone knows information from foreign governments is intended to influence in some way, Joe. You aren’t the only person on earth with a basic understanding of counterintelligence. The problem is that you twist that basic concept for your own purposes and then present it as something insightful, when that too can become a form of deception. That said, I genuinely appreciate the conversation. We can disagree without pretending the other person doesn’t understand the basics.
🚨Just days into office, Colombia’s new right-wing President Abelardo de la Espriella has authorized joint U.S. military operations to destroy the cartels.
Colombia is also joining Trump’s Americas Counter-Cartel Coalition as the 19th member.
A massive shift from the previous leftist government.
Big win for the region.
Republicans in Minnesota hired Private investigators who found a DNA match, that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is the brother of Ilhan Omar
Omar married him to help him gain citizenship, which is a crime, this is the actual marriage license
This won't end well for Omar.. Deport her
It seems that everything the girls told us that happened to them is absolutely true, including the involvement of police officers. And still the government(s) has done very little to get to the bottom of it.
@GerryHassan The key metric for the success & viability of any language is that it is “understood” not spoken - fitting all those languages onto the bonnet of an Ambulance will require one helluva sign writer
More people were raped last year in England and Wales than died in the blitz.
Just take that in for a moment because the figure is absolutely shocking…
74,727 rape offences were recorded the year ending March 2026.
We are experiencing a rape genocide.
74 THOUSAND women and girls raped in one year, and @andyburnham holds a cobra meeting because its a bit hot for August.
Even if he doesnt give a shit about the life altering effects to the victims, surely the cost of police reports, investigations, medical care, mental health care, CPS costs, court costs, legal aid costs, then translation costs and prison costs will be astronomical to the country.
@grok please see the attached post. List every single cost connected with a rape or sexual assulted reported to the police, and then work out, based on availabile data what the cost of the rape of British women and girls is in £s (as this seems to be the only thing the government care about), and then provide an estimated annual cost to the British tax payer, for this amount of rapes and sexual assaults, per year.
The number of people in England and Wales claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) has passed 4 million. Claimant numbers have virtually doubled since 2019. PIP spending is forecast to top £41 billion by 2030. Mental health conditions now account for nearly two in five of all claims.
A sad indictment of our health service? Or a sign that the system is being abused?
I couldn't quite believe this could be true, so I listened and, yes, she really does.
The exact quote:
"The obvious thing that 1,200 young men are going to need in the middle of a village like Little Piddington is a brothel".
@cricketwyvern The law of unintended consequences writ large - their thought process mimics frogs in a pond jumping about randomly with no connection to previous actions ( I appreciate I am being disrespectful to frogs)
Islam always wishes to engage in interfaith dialogue when it is in the minority.
Islam does not engage in interfaith dialogue when it is in the majority because the other faiths seem to magically disappear from those societies.
I'm afraid that I have to announce, with great sadness, that I must rescind my British citizenship. Because, earlier today, I got a taxi home and I failed to say 'Anywhere round here will do, mate, cheers' at the end. I have failed myself and more importantly, I have failed you.
For a nation so familiar with not seeing the sun, sometimes for months on end, it is uplifting that the Scottish public can still be counted on to turn up to admire a lack of sunshine and abundant cloud cover on special occasions. And folk say we're a jaded people.
