Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

Questions mount for Hegseth over possible US involvement in strike on Iranian school Democrats have written to ask the defence secretary whether the US was responsible, but he says the issue is being investigated.

Hegseth said there would be no stupid rules of engagement for Trump's war against Iran.

So they blew up a school full of children and have shown no remorse. How Christian.

Call me stupid, but surely the extra profits from selling US oil at inflated prices will go to the privately owned oil companies and their shareholders. Not into US government coffers, save for a small fraction by way of extra taxes collected.

Left: Former Conservative Home Secretary now Reform UK supporter Suella Braverman says we need to leave the ECHR because the ECHR stopped the Rwanda plan

Right: BBC News, "The Conservative's Rwanda plan announced 18 months ago has been ruled unlawful by 5 Justices here at the UK's Supreme Court"

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

Snapshot: Monsters in Our Midst They are not just indifferent to a deadly shooting, they revel in it. But their terror is triggering a rising tide of anger and resistance.

“What kind of monster watches a man murdered with at least 10 bullets, then applauds? Not a shake of the head, not a moment of gravity about the taking of a human life, but clapping.”

The Australian police punched and pepper sprayed protesters in Sydney who were demonstrating against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit on February 9.

The police’s use of force to prevent protests is a further erosion of basic rights in Australia.

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different. "It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

DHS initially claimed the shooting of Marimar Martinez was justified because agents “were ambushed by domestic terrorists that rammed federal agents with their vehicles.”

Footage reveals that agent Charles Exum slammed his SUV into hers and shot Martinez seconds after leaving his vehicle.

All of Trump’s climate attacks and setbacks so far in 2026 Despite the accelerating threat of climate change, Trump and his administration are continuing to unravel progress.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

Trump’s territorial ambition: new imperialism or a case of the emperor’s new clothes? Trump’s attack on Venezuela suggests expansionism is under way but some argue it is simply standard US foreign policy stripped of hypocrisy

Trump’s territorial ambition: new imperialism or a case of the emperor’s new clothes?

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Yep, The Times is going with 'The murder of Renee Nicole Good is the fault of immigrants'.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

A bit late Richard but HaPpY New Year to you. I know you know what would really make me happy 🇪🇺 🎈

Trump's attack on Venezuela, like Putin's attack on Ukraine, both tear international law to shreds. It returns us to an era where states use miltary force to gain resources or territory irrespective of the deaths and destruction they create.
