To all those who say 'Socialism doesn't work', I say, you haven't tried it yet then. But Spain is doing Socialism!

Spain launches €7bn housing plan to tackle rent crisis Spain's government on Tuesday approved a sweeping plan to alleviate the country's housing problem, one of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's main political vulnerabilities ahead of next year's elections.

Well done Spain.
"The new plan, worth €7 billion, triples government investment in public housing over the next four years. It ensures that subsidised housing cannot be reclassified after a few years. It also includes help for young renters and home buyers"

Evening hiking near Tucson. 6”x6” Oil on cradled wood panel

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

I need a minor procedure done and my doctor gave me the choice between in office(longer recovery, more painful and worse results) vs in the OR(more expensive.) People being forced to make medical decisions based on insurance coverage is truly one of the worst things about America.

Another close call at another airport. You know, the right relentlessly hammered Pete Buttigieg about stuff like this when he was in office, saying he was inexperienced and a DEI hire.

But now…..crickets. Nothing about the real world guy.

Lol. What a foolish answer.

"This is an important thing to think about."

There are daily missile and drone attacks across all of Ukraine and the Irish government wants to send people back.

“As long as it takes” quickly became “until we get bored and need to attack migrants and refugees.”

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Release the (Killary) Epstein files.

What can you tell us about the suspension of Tony Greenstein, Zack?

Absolutely. Particularly the German Govt and also the German Green Party.

Yeah, into a complete shit hole.

Party leaders’ super PACs are increasingly routing contributions through nonprofits first, so donor names disappear before the money shows up in public filings. readsludge.com/2026/04/20/t...

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

The assertion that Zionism is essential to Jewish identity is misleading for several reasons. Judaism is a monotheistic religion at least 3,000 years old, whereas Zionism began as a secular-led political movement in the late 19th century.

Lol.

And Satanyahu has copies of all the tapes, no doubt.

Trump should already be in jail.

Lol;

His biggest card is still the President of the United States...
