Israel's military said it was reacting to an immediate threat when it killed 15 medics in Gaza. But a new @nytimes.com visual investigation shows that multiple soldiers fired over the course of 6 minutes at unarmed rescue workers who never posed a threat. www.nytimes.com/video/world/...
Spot on.
Referring to themselves as “Avenger Girls,” the Women Airforce Service Pilots were superheroes of aviation. They were the first women to fly for the US military…

Reporter: Who gets credit for this? You or Trump?
Biden: Is that a joke?
Fucking HILARIOUS that these hypocritical Christian Senators have so much forgiveness in their souls for Pete Hegseth abusing women and cheating on his wives but they couldn't find any grace for private citizen Hunter Biden, who isn't running for anything.

Earl Spencer's school to close amid abuse inquiry
Earl Spencer's prep school becomes latest victim of Labour's VAT raid on fees as it announces it will close in July after being 'adversely affected by external factors
