This is such a brutal review: "Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy." www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi...

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

1/ Pro-Russian volunteers who fought with the Donetsk and Luhansk 'People's Militias' prior to 2022 are being erroneously listed as deserters, rounded up, and sent to their likely deaths in assault squads due to a bureaucratic error by the Russian Ministry of Defence. ⬇️

In Irish, aspen is 'crann creathach' – trembling tree – because of how its leaves quiver and rustle in the wind. One of the most palatable tree species to deer, sheep, etc, its very distinctive, evocative sound is sadly now uncommon in Ireland.

No technological independence allowed, apparently: "European companies face “devastating” retaliation from Washington if Brussels presses ahead with plans to restrict American rivals such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX from parts of the European market, the US ambassador to the EU has warned."

I think these billboards are ugly and we should discourage them from being installed! The Greens just closed a loophole that allowed advertising companies to avoid paying development levies for billboards in Dublin city.

Bessent: the Graham Act sanctions weren't lifted, they were waived. Well then. I'm sure that fine detail will matter to the thousands of Ukrainians whose power, water, and heat will be waived this winter thanks to the weapons Putin purchased because of your actions.

We are being robbed. Of our homes, our healthcare, our retirements, our recreation, our very futures. They lay off 1,000s and use the saving to buy back stocks. Aren't you tired of these thieves taking money out of your pockets?

Delta Air Lines has chosen not to go with Starlink, and Elon Musk is upset. Musk said that Delta’s CEO would “lose his job” for snubbing Starlink. Nobody should be using any product or service from the US, they cannot be relied on and spy on you.

Of all the things I didn't expect to hear in a statement tonight—this is the one I least expected to hear. 'Free Nelson Mandela - Free Danny (Tommo)' I have second-hand embarrassment for this deluded woman in Southampton today.

Free weekend update is out. This was the week when the USA-Russia alliance was made formal, to even the most ardent skeptics. And its reality was signed in Ukrainian blood. Hopefully now Ukraine, and Europe, will understand what they must do. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

The entire west is ethicy culpable for this war cos they treated our former colonies as actual countries and not as buffer states with limited sovereignty. Gorby warned that expanding their ability to defend themselves reduced Russia's ability to attack them which was a threat.

"Israel is operating increasingly unrestrained in southern Syria" Heidi Pett reports on how the IDF is raiding villages, setting up checks points, terrorising people & kidnapping them. The result? People are leaving their villages. Which is of course Israels objective.

People need to understand that the only reason Trump backed down on SpaceX and Starshield so quickly is that he got push back right away, politically and from Ukraine. He is a bully and a coward. Stop criticising Zelensky for standing up to him.

Chewbot reposted

I hope most Americans are as shocked as the rest of the world is that Trump says Zelenskyy destroyed Ukraine, not Putin and Russia; that he consistently blames Ukraine and ignores Russian war crimes; and that he is trying to force Ukraine's surrender to those who would murder us.

More evidence to the fact, that Trump is driving a deeply-rooted pro-Putin agenda. This is not collateral damage of a confused president, this is this presidency's strategic intent in foreign policy.

Latest piece (mostly free). The great Graham-Blumenthal con comes to an end. This bill was never going to hurt Russia or help Ukraine. Trump just made that explicit. Shame on those who pretended otherwise. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-prot...

What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic

Q: You said you're gonna put some of your own money into the ballroom. Are you? TRUMP: I may do that. When they run out, I'll be there, okay?

🤔🇺🇦🇺🇸 Elon Musk personally proposed slowing down Ukraine’s Starshield satellite system to Trump, who agreed, - The Telegraph. The restrictions capped Ukrainian drones at around 160 km/h, severely hampering their ability to intercept faster Russian drones and missiles.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish PM Donald Tusk: In my conversation with Zelensky, I learned that winter has practically already arrived in Ukraine. Because there is almost no electricity anywhere. There are problems with gas, so it gets cold at night. They are preparing for a very difficult winter.

Sally Rooney's books will no longer be distributed by Faber & Faber due to her support for Palestine Action. This is absurd, and part of a broader ludicrousness in British society where solidarity with Palestine is punished in increasingly nonsensical ways, while genocide goes unpunished.

Children in Gaza. Israel and the U.S. are killing them, starving them, blowing off their arms and legs off and having them grow up with no education; little hope of a better life; not enough food or water; and horrible medical care.

Israeli soldiers received orders to drop heavy bombs on populated areas in the Gaza Strip without evacuating them. The massacre in Jabalia killed over 250 Palestinians. The U.S. sent Israel 2,000 lb. bombs via the UK for Israel to carry out these massacres.

JD Vance....What a guy. Grew up getting food stamps but doesn't want Americans to get food stamps today. Vance's father left and his mother became a drug addict.
