"Hamas" Ain't Working!

Hamas is resistance not terrorists. The West attempts to shut down dissent aren't working any longer. Israel is the most hated country on Earth. There's no putting that genie in the bottle.

The biggest way to stifle critics is labels. When the far right decides to use their free speech to dehumanize Blacks, Muslims, Satanists, immigrants, gays, transgender people, non religious or disabled Americans, the left is quick to denounce them.

We call them racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, etc.

It forces us to double down and push for firings and public shaming.

The right wants to call it "woke."

The left calls it "accountability."

The right does it when it comes to hating capitalism, Israel, Christianity, their definition of freedom, regulations and accountability. They value "traditional" norms.

Basically white suprmacy.

See in the United States, you are allowed free speech. However, when it comes to that country over in West Asia, it is off limits.

Criticism is considered antisemitism. Well I am tired of being nice about it.

Israel is committing a genocide. Those who endorse or support Israel are criminals. They are making Jews across the world look bad. If this country supposedly a place for Jews, why the fuck are they here in the United States?

Because if they don't feel safe because of words, then these reactions are just reactions.

Zohran Mamdani speaks the truth. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and he needs to be arrested.

The far right needs oxygen.

In order to escape a generation of failures under capitalism, the military industrial complex, the need to support Israel, the corporate elite and the system that keeps racial disparity, the folks need scapegoats.

Did you know, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon will likely incorporate the Oct. 7 attacks in U.S. history books?

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani angered MIGA. 

The mayor did a speech in which he said the U.S. should abide by the International Criminal Court's warrant. He openly called the Israeli regime a criminal enterprise that has cause the deaths of millions.

— Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) July 22, 2026

Mamdani pledged to order the New York Police Department to detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The planned arrest was based on the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant issued in late 2024 charging Netanyahu with war crimes and crimes against humanity tied to the conflict in Gaza.

However, in a video statement released on July 21, 2026, Mamdani walked back his campaign promise. He explained that after a legal review by the city’s Law Department, it became clear that local authorities do not possess the statutory jurisdiction or legal avenue to enforce an international warrant against a visiting foreign head of state.

President Donald J. Trump, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA), Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), Benny Johnson, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, U.S. Antisemitism Advisor Leo Terrell, Dave Rubin, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Danny Danon and Sean "Softball" Hannity react to the mayor's "disinvite" of genocidal maniac Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump, for his part, insisted earlier this week that Netanyahu “will not be arrested” if he visits the U.S. The president argued on Truth Social that the Israeli leader was “fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran” and said, “the only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented spiral of death and destruction.”

Despite admitting the city's limitations, Mamdani doubled down on his rhetoric, declaring that Netanyahu is "not welcome in New York City" and labeling him a "war criminal". He explicitly shifted the responsibility upward, challenging the federal government to join the ICC and execute the warrant when Netanyahu travels to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Human rights groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center also chastised the mayor, accusing him of misusing the prestige of his office to stoke domestic division and validate harmful anti-Israel rhetoric.

Fuck their feelings.

The accusation that someone supports Hamas is often used in political discourse to discredit or silence critics of Israeli government policies. This tactic relies on the severe stigma associated with Hamas—which is designated as a terrorist organization by many countries—to shift the focus away from the substance of the criticism. 

Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion, a concert or Iran. 

By framing dissent as support for terrorism, the speaker can delegitimize the critic's position without engaging in a factual debate.At the same time, public debates surrounding geopolitical conflicts are highly polarized. Proponents of this labeling argue that certain rhetoric, slogans, or protests go beyond criticizing state policy and cross into genuine alignment with or defense of the group's actions. Distinguishing between legitimate political dissent and actual support for a militant group remains a central point of contention in media, academic, and political spheres.

If a country wants to exists, they have the right to. They can do it through three options:

• Declaration through peace
• Declaration through violent resistance
• Declaration through occupation

Palestine is the only solution.

Israel cannot exist any longer.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.

To clear up the AP's account of Oct. 7, the Israelis used the Hannibal Directive to massacre the settlers to prevent Hamas from taking IDF soliders. The IDF has used the weapons to kill settlers at a festival.

Hamas has been very clear on who they targeted. They targeted the IDF and the walls. They do not target civilians. Israel has exaggerated the way this went down.

This guy is a vermin. And if that's antisemitic to call him that, oh fucking well.

They have used American weapons to kill settlers, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, UN peacekeepers and their own IDF soliders. Israel has killed Americans, British, German, Australian, Canadians and French citizens. 

No investigations were carried out to why Israel targeted them.

Israel refuses to allow independent monitors into Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.

IDF soliders who refuse to carry out orders are often taken out by snipers.

The "hostages" were IDF soliders. 

Israel has violated the ceasefire. They are planning on invading Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. They have stopped humanitarian aid and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors. 

Israel wants the U.S. to start a war with Iran.

Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. You upset other countries deciding to ban or boycott Israel for its actions. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.

Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?

Cause sure as hell, Israel is spying on Americans, meddling in our elections, doing foreign lobbying with the assistance of AIPAC and the ADL.

The Israeli government through its proxies are trying to sway American lawmakers into criminalizing criticism of its actions to antisemitism.

Israel's latest excuses to justify the genocide:

• They claimed that Hamas wants to kill as many Jews as possible.
• They claim that Hamas has underground tunnels under schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
• They claim that Hamas was planning on building a dirty bomb.
• They claim that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.
• They claim that Hamas is ISIS.
• They claim that Hamas had a copy of Mein Kampf inside a base in a children's bedroom.
• They claim that Hamas were beheading 40 babies.
• They claim that Hamas misfired a rocket at a hospital.
• They claim that Hamas wants a regional war.
• They claim that Hamas had top secret plans to attack the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas has a calendar that showed the shifts of who was watching the hostages.
• They claim that Hamas shot female soliders in the pelvis, buttocks and breasts.
• They claim that Hamas shot dead a civilian and raped the victim's corpse,
• They claim that Hamas has placed explosive devices on corpses.
• They claim that Hamas has infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas support from individuals amounts to being a terrorist sympathizer.
• They claim that Hamas were working with UNRWA workers.
• They claim that Hamas has been hiding in plain sight.

Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, men, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage.

Israel has raped, pillaged and tortured Palestinians. It is confirmed but the United States won't do not one damn thing about it.

Just to let you know, that Israel has done almost everything they've claimed Hamas, Ansar Allah, Hezbollah and Iran done. These entities are about stop with the rules of engagement.

They don't have the military forces but they do have the advantage of the land and the ability to stop Israel without spending billions on missiles and firearms.

Donate It To Turning Point USA!

Any attempts of honoring Charlie Kirk will be met with resistance.

In September, the far right will mark the first anniversary of the passing of white nationalist Charlie Kirk. He was killed on Sept. 10, 2025 by a white man in Utah.

Well he won't have to worry about DEI, Muslims, transgender Americans, progressives, feminists and gun control advocates.

Charlie Lost His Head (Dedicated to Charlie Kirk) by Grok

(Verse 1)
Charlie Kirk stepped up with a fiery plea,
Lost his head in the fight for liberty,
A suit and tie, with a voice so strong,
Leading the charge where the bold belong!
(Chorus)
Oh, Charlie lost his head, oh what a sight,
Spinning with passion from day to night,
No fear to find, just a steadfast tread,
Sing it loud, Charlie Kirk lost his head!
(Verse 2)
Microphone blares, he’s the voice of the fight,
Lost in the battle for what’s wrong or right,
A tale to tell of a spirit so free,
Charlie Kirk’s the spark of audacity!
(Chorus)
Oh, Charlie lost his head, oh what a sight,
Spinning with passion from day to night,
No fear to find, just a steadfast tread,
Sing it loud, Charlie Kirk lost his head!
(Outro)
So raise a glass to Charlie, bold and true,
With a vision clear for me and you,
Head in the clouds, no fear to dread,
The legend lives on—Charlie Kirk lost his head!

The suspect, Tyler Robinson is being held on murder and terrorism charges. He faces the DEATH card if he is convicted.

No one is interested in Kirk. He died with his last words about gun violence...

“Counting or not counting gang violence?”

A sculptor has claimed he has been left nearly $100,000 out of pocket after making a statue of Charlie Kirk that no one wanted to pay for.

Sergio Furnari hoped that the life-size "freedom" statue he intended to unveil in New York City's Times Square would raise "millions" from Kirk's supporters across the US.

Instead, he received a torrent of online ridicule and threats to vandalise and urinate on the memorial to the murdered conservative activist.

Kirk, 31, the divisive Turning Point USA co-founder and close ally of Donald Trump, was shot dead on Sept 10 last year at a debate at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Although criticised by the Left for his views on race and gender issues, he is revered by many Republicans for his role in galvanising young conservatives.

$100,000 to make a terrible depiction of that white nationalist Charlie Kirk.

Furnari, who moved from Sicily to New York decades ago, sought to replicate the outfit Kirk was wearing on the day he died, with his shirt emblazoned with the word "freedom".

He plans to unveil the 1:1-scale statue of the 6ft 4in activist on the first anniversary of Kirk's killing. Its planned location is the busiest square of New York, one of the US's most liberal and diverse cities.

There was a backlash online after Furnari announced his plans. "Can't wait to deface your statue," one user wrote on social media, while another called it "a new public urinal".

One X user, who described it as a "monstrosity", predicted it would not last longer than 20 minutes undamaged.

There were also supporters of Kirk who were pleased by the statue but questioned the decision to display it in New York.

'Donors will be eternally attached to Kirk

Despite no one commissioning him to make it, Furnari has said he expected to make money from wealthy donors. He claims he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labour.

His efforts to raise $150,000 online have also failed. As of Monday, only $7,660 (£5,700) had been donated towards the target.

For any contribution, donors will have their name engraved on the monument's platform. "So yes, your name will be eternally attached to Charlie Kirk," the page reads.

The Telegraph is unable to independently verify the true cost of the statue or Furnari's claim that he sold his apartment to pay for it.

Furnari said that he felt motivated to make the statue after seeing the world's divided reaction to Kirk's death.

He told The Telegraph: "What really triggered me was the way he was treated, the way his wife Erika Kirk got treated... it was pure bullying."

'We lost a genius'

Although he said he did not agree with everything Kirk said, Furnari said: "We lost a genius, someone who could have led this country."

Furnari said his hopes to display the statue would not be deterred by threats.

"If people are afraid of a statue in 2026, there has to be something really, really wrong with society. A statue is a statue – you can love it or hate it, but no one has the right to use violence or threats against me," he said, adding: "I am not afraid."

Furnari told The Guardian he made the figure to support Kirk's wife, to "glorify democracy", and to "commemorate a person".

To make matters worse for Furnari, he recently broke his foot working on the statue by falling over in his studio.

The Kirk statue is not the first of a high-profile figure to prompt ridicule.

Last month, a new 85ft statue of Lionel Messi, built in a remote town in Argentina and featuring a large World Cup covering the player's groin, was widely mocked.

The provocative placement of the trophy between the footballing star's legs caused great amusement online.

In 2017, a now-infamous bronze bust of Cristiano Ronaldo went viral on the internet for its lack of resemblance to the Portuguese footballer.

It featured a bizarre grin and misshapen facial features. In the face of endless memes, the artist produced a revised version of the statue in 2018.

In another case of poor likeness, Andy Murray was forced to unveil a life-sized terracotta warrior-style statue of himself in 2011 in Shanghai. It was immediately met with laughter from the crowd and confusion from the tennis player.

Abdul El-Sayed: Why Do I Keep Answering Questions About That Country Over 6,000 Miles Away?

It's almost over.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is in a competitive race against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. The race is in a state that President Donald J. Trump carried in 2016 and 2024. 

Michigan is a key swing state.

His predecessors Joe Biden carried it in 2020 while Barack Obama carried it in 2008 and 2012. 

Hillary Clinton lost the state by 1.4 points and former vice president Kamala Harris lost it by 1.9 points.

Clinton failed to reach out to Michigan voters in key swing counties. Harris failed to reach out to Michigan voters in reliable areas which demanded her boss Biden change course on international policies.

As Trump continues his downward spiral in Michigan, Democrats see this seat being vacated by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) as a key hold. Yet, they are ready to gamble their chances on weakening the Democratic nominee.

Whomever becomes the nominee will be weakened by the aggressive nature of outside spending. An issue that both candidates face is the cost of living and the support of Israel.

Stevens is a stuanch supporter of Israel. She is unapologetically supportive of the apartheid regime and vows to assist the country. She also claims to support Michigan voters' interest. 

El-Sayed is  vocal critic of the apartheid genocidal ethnostate. He is now being forced to answer to every question about it despite him not being interested in it.

He wants to focus on Michigan and not the noise from outside the state. 

When CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Kasie Hunt pressed El-Sayed on Israel, the candidate reacted to it with shear annoyance. He directly tells the hosts that the question of Israel is always asked of him and not the issues of Michigan. 

He is fighting three fronts. The Republicans, the outside spending and the establishment Democrats.

Peters broke his neutral stance by endorsing Stevens. He and Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) have endorsed her after Mallory McMorrow withdrew from the race. Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and the Congressional Black Caucus PAC has endorsed Stevens as well.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) have endorsed El-Sayed.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) who earlier endorsed McMorrow endorsed El-Sayed shortly after she dropped out. 

Former lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene have reacted to El-Sayed's rise by stating that Michigan voters see him as authentic. She said that Stevens and former Republican lawmaker Mike Rogers will continue to push Israel ahead of America. 

El-Sayed caught wind of it and agreed. He told Politico's Dasha Burns that even some of Trump’s base are starting feel pain and the pressure to change course is bipartisan.

Well the KHIVE and establishment caught wind of it and called El-Sayed a GOP plant.

The same stuff to go after Graham Platner and James Talarico is now plaguing El-Sayed.

The mildest criticism or even harsh criticism of Israel has invited the outside spending and the bad faith actors to drag down candidates who oppose the status quo.

Platner was voted by Democratic primary voters. He was forced out after allegations of sexual abuse. His personal problems were the distraction from issues Maine voters faced.

Now they put a potentially easy seat to flip in the Republican hands. They will install a nominee who isn't focused on the populist stances that Platner ran on. Maine Democrats will not back the nominee regardless. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is a curmudgeon with Parkinson's disease. She will earn herself another six years.

Talarico won after he worked to convince Texas Democrats he is not noise. He won against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Crockett, a supporter of Israel and frequent face in the junk food media tepidly endorsed Talarico after her loss. The Black voters who backed her are saying his race is lost. They vow to oppose him and they rather allow Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to be the senator.

Back to El-Sayed, he has talked about potholes, poor infrastructure, crumbling schools, medical debt, data centers, the wildfires in Michigan and Canada, the cost of living and groceries. He has declared that every interview will eventually have Israel in it.

He showed frustrations that many Americans are holding. 

Stevens has resorted to distractions about his tax returns, his endorsement from Hasan Piker, his refusal to answer about "Israel's right to exist" and him being a Muslim.

El-Sayed stated that the "distractions" are not paying people's bills. He stated clearly endorsements are good but voting is better. He is tired of "guilt by association" and talk about things outside of Michigan.

I Can Handle Six Years!

The DEI hire, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) walks with Sens. Katie Britt (R-AL) and John Thune (R-SD).

Reps. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Russell Fry (R-SC), Lt. Governor Pam Evette and now Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) are in the running for the special primary election to replace Lindsey Graham.

Graham, 71 died in July after returning from Ukraine. He had a heart condition that he ignored. He was supposed to appear on GOP Sundays with Kristen Welker, Shannon Bream, Martha Raddatz and Margret Brennan to whine about Democrats opposing Israel and more war with Iran.

Graham's funeral services on July 28. President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Sens. John Thune (R-SD), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Gov. Henry McMaster will likely attend.

Okay, Graham Nordone, 61 is the sister of the late senator. She was appointed this month and has already voted on numerous bills.

“I’ve made a decision,” Darline Graham told Fox host Sean "Softball" Hannity, according to a clip released of an interview set to air later Monday. “I’m in.”

The entrance of Graham Nordone — sworn in last week to fulfill the remaining months of her late brother’s term, which expires in January — into the Republican scramble to select a new Senate nominee further complicates an already rushed process following Graham's death earlier this month.

A weeklong filing period opens Tuesday for the special Republican primary, which will be Aug. 11. On Friday, Trump said that Graham Nordone had his “Complete and Total Endorsement” to seek the nomination, adding, “RUN, DARLINE, RUN!”

Last week, McMaster appointed Graham Nordone to serve the remainder of her brother’s term, which ends in January. In his announcement, McMaster made no reference to Graham Nordone as a placeholder or symbolic appointment, although a person familiar with McMaster’s thinking but unauthorized to speak publicly said the governor, in selecting Graham Nordone, had never contemplated that she would run for the seat herself.

Before the emergence of Graham Nordone — and their Oval Office meeting after she was sworn in — Trump had previously suggested he could back a potential candidacy from Rep. Russell Fry, who said Monday he would officially enter the special primary.

Softball Hannity, softball.

Several other noteworthy politicians, including Norman, have already gotten in, and others like Evette have been eyeing a run. 

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) announced Monday she would not enter the contest.

Graham Nordone told "Softball" Hannity said she had been “praying a lot” about how to navigate her new role.

“It is a tremendous amount of pressure,” she said.

“I know I’m a hard worker. I learned that from Lindsey,” Graham Nordone said. “I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes.”

Funeral services for Lindsey Graham are scheduled to be held next week in Washington and South Carolina. A preliminary report from the medical examiner said he suffered a tear in his aorta.

The millions in Lindsey Graham’s campaign account aren’t funds that Darline Graham could directly access in a run of her own, according to Bradley A. Smith, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission.

Under federal rules, Lindsey Graham’s campaign would be limited to transferring just $2,000 to a potential Darline Graham candidacy. However, Smith said there is no limit on how much it could transfer to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which could — thanks to a Supreme Court decision last month — “spend an unlimited amount in coordination with Darline’s campaign.”

Have South Carolina as Safe Republican. Now whomever wins will face against Annie Andrews, the Democratic opponent.

The Next Stooge: Andy Burnham

A pawn in the King's quarters.

Since Keir Sterner was ousted as Prime Minster of Great Britain, his successor Andy Burnham will now take the spot. He will now occupy 10 Downing Street in central London.

The Labour leader will now face pressure to do something about the economy, inflation, Israel, Iran, Russia and the United States.

Burnham will be the new foil for President Donald J. Trump.

He acknowledged his precarious perch Monday as the seventh British leader in just over a decade as he set out an ambitious but vague vision to create a new political and economic establishment.

Burnham used his inaugural speech as prime minister to renew his theme of decentralizing power as he promised to end street sleeping by homeless people. He said he would deliver a “circuit breaker” for a system he says has taken wrong turns since the 1980s when many public services were privatized.

“We will change politics to make it more collaborative, more about problem-solving than point-scoring,” he said. “We will take power out of here and carry it into every postcode in the land so that they can do more and in doing more, build a new economy where we put life’s essentials back under stronger public control to make them affordable to you again.”

After weeks as leader-in-waiting, Burnham officially became prime minister during a meeting with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, where the monarch asked him to form a government.

He succeeded Keir Starmer, who stepped down just two years after winning a landslide election victory, on a day when Britain’s political turbulence gave way, at least temporarily, to smooth choreography.

Buckingham Palace has released a photo of the king and Burnham shaking hands. The ceremony known as “kissing hands” marks the transfer of power, but didn’t actually involve any hand kissing.

Burnham said he was “acutely conscious” of the revolving door he was walking through at 10 Downing Street.

“This a moment for reflection and new resolution,” he said. “It requires my generation of politicians to raise our game and rise to the new challenge. Britain needs to show the world that we can regain our stability once again, and that is our challenge to make politics work, to make it work better.”

Burnham became the seventh U.K. prime minister since 2016 in a now well-rehearsed handover after replacing Starmer as leader of the center-left governing Labour Party on Friday. Starmer announced last month he would resign after missteps and judgment errors that eroded his standing with his party and the public.

Just over an hour earlier, Starmer made a short farewell speech in the same place outside the prime minister’s residence, saying “my work is done.”

The outgoing leader said Britain is now “stronger and fairer than it was two years ago,” when he took office.

“I go with good grace, I go with a smile and I go proud of everything that we have achieved,” Starmer said before heading to Buckingham Palace to offer his resignation to the king. It was an offer “His Majesty was graciously pleased to accept,” the palace said in a statement.

Changing leaders in mid-term

Britain’s parliamentary democracy allows governing parties to change leaders, and thus prime ministers, without the need for a general election. The next national poll doesn’t have to be held until 2029, though Burnham can call one sooner if he wants.

Burnham was the only candidate in a contest to become the party’s new leader, securing nominations from 379 of the 403 Labour lawmakers in the House of Commons.

Burnham will confront many of the same struggles as his predecessor: a sluggish economy, a cost-of-living crisis, overstretched public services, concerns about migration and foreign affairs that include wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The new leader pledges a new style of politics

The former mayor of Greater Manchester previously pledged to make politics “less toxic,” improve living standards across the country and “bring back the hope we have all been missing.”

Critics and supporters alike will be clamoring for details of how Burnham plans to fulfill his pledges when he announces parts of a 10-year plan on Tuesday.

“Fundamentally, it only will work if you can generate significant economic growth, because it’s the lack of growth that’s really holding the country back,” said Joshi Herrmann, who has followed Burnham’s career as founder of Manchester news site The Mill.

Attention will quickly turn to who Burnham will appoint to his Cabinet. He’s expected to make changes to Starmer’s top team, especially to the biggest jobs of Treasury chief, foreign secretary and home secretary.

Burnham has praised Starmer’s achievements, saying he would “build on the foundation laid” by his predecessor.

Starmer became Labour leader in 2020 after one of the party’s worst election defeats, and led it to a landslide victory four years later. But he was soon defeated by the challenges of governing.

At his final Prime Minister’s Questions session in Parliament on Wednesday, Starmer defended his government’s record on the international stage — especially its support for Ukraine — and its domestic policy achievements. He mentioned stronger protections for working people, a reduction in child poverty, a law designed to stop official cover-ups after tragedies, and higher defense spending.

“In six and a half years, I took our party from a historic defeat in 2019, changed it so it was fit to face the country and won a landslide general election victory in 2024,” Starmer said in his final remarks before leaving Downing St, hand-in-hand with his wife Victoria.

“Since then, it has been the privilege of my life to serve you and this great country as prime minister. I am confident that Britain is now stronger and fairer than it was two years ago.”

Yemen Will Shut Down The Bab al-Mandab Strait!

ChatGPT is my new best friend. Yemen is going to shut down the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and members of Congress react to U.S. military members being killed by the Iranians.

Of course, Vance and wife Usha had announced their fourth child. How many of these military officials have children or expected children? 

He gets to enjoy his life while the families of those who were ordered to serve the U.S. in this war of choice being killed. These military officials will not see their families ever again all for Vance to celebrate his fourth child, Trump to enrich himself and his allies.

Iran promised that for every attack on them, retaliation is hitting places where the U.S. places its flag.

Israel is about to get hit by Iran soon.

Iran is warning that the more the U.S. and Israel continue its aggressions, the likely, Yemen will take sovereignty of its waterways. Ansar Allah, known in the West as the Houthis will impose a military blockade on the Bab al-Mandab Strait which has 10% to 15% of oil and commercial shipping.

Iranian leaders are negotiating a partnership with the Yemen government in Sana'a. 

On Monday, if the aggression continues, Yemen will put an effective block on water travel.

The U.S. military has reinstated a naval blockade and bombed Iran for several consecutive days, concentrating attacks on coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz. But airstrikes have recently extended to infrastructure, such as railways that could be used to ferry weapons.

The Bab-el-Mandeb is a strait and a major global chokepoint between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula and Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa, connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and by extension the Indian Ocean.

The Bab-el-Mandeb acts as a strategic link between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Most exports of petroleum and natural gas from the Persian Gulf that transit the Suez Canal or the SUMED Pipeline pass through both the Bab el-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz. 

While the narrow width of the strait requires vessels to travel through the territorial sea of adjacent states, under the purview of Article 37 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the legal concept of transit passage applies to Bab el-Mandeb, although Eritrea (unlike the rest of coastal countries) is not a party to the convention.

Chokepoints are narrow channels along widely used global sea routes that are critical to global energy security. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is 26 kilometres (14 nautical miles) wide at its narrowest point, limiting tanker traffic to two 2-mile-wide channels for inbound and outbound shipments.

Closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait could keep tankers originating in the Persian Gulf from transiting the Suez Canal or reaching the SUMED Pipeline, forcing them to divert around the southern tip of Africa, which would increase transit time and shipping costs.

In 2006, an estimated 3.3 million barrels (520,000 m3) of oil passed through the strait per day, out of a world total of about 43 million barrels per day (6,800,000 m3/d) moved by tankers. This rose by 2014 to 5.1 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil, condensate and refined petroleum products headed toward Europe, the United States, and Asia, then an estimated 6.2 million b/d by 2018.

In 2017, total petroleum flows through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait accounted for about 9% of total seaborne-traded petroleum (crude oil and refined petroleum products) in 2017. About 3.6 million b/d moved north toward Europe; another 2.6 million b/d flowed in the opposite direction mainly to Asian markets such as Singapore, China, and India.

Mouths To Feed On Your Tax Dollars!

Interracial marriage. The white extremist nightmare, a Black and Brown nation. Vice President JD Vance and Usha are now raising four children. 

Nothing like a tone deaf politician celebrating a milestone. While many Americans go into debt after a hospital visit, our president and vice president get free or cost efficient health care at the expense of the taxpayers.

While I do not wish harm on our president, the vice president or their families, I would not shed tears or show an ounce of empathy for them. They are just too negative for any rational condolences.

On social media, the White House announced that Vice President JD Vance, 41 and Second Lady Usha Vance, 40 welcomed their fourth child. 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 28 recently returned after her maternity leave for her second child with her elderly husband, Nicholas Riccio, 61.

The vice president on Sunday announced the birth of their fourth child, the first born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years.

Born Sunday, Alec Neel Vance joins older siblings Ewan, 9; Vivek, 6; and Mirabel, 4.

Vance announced the birth on social media with a statement signed by him and his wife.

“We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” the statement said.

They thanked doctors and staff at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and with the White House medical team.

The Republican vice president’s growing family is in keeping with his passionate advocacy for Americans to have more children. He has also suggested that the 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was his friend, factored into the decision to have another child.

So a man being shot in the fucking neck in a graphic fashion got Vance to humping Usha.

No couch avaliable?

Vance, a former U.S. Marine, repeatedly expressed alarm about declining birth rates in America as he launched his political career in 2021 with a bid for a U.S. Senate seat from Ohio. As vice president, he said in Washington at the 2025 March for Life anti-abortion rally, “I want more babies in the United States of America.”

The vice president, who’s 41, has been accompanied on overseas trips by Usha Vance, 40, and their children, with the kids often pajama-clad as they board Air Force Two for the overnight flights.

Usha Vance, the daughter of immigrants from India, had already been the subject of some public fascination because of her husband. Her pregnancy, which was announced in January, amplified that spotlight since it is rare for occupants of the United States’ highest public offices to add to their families while serving.

The last time a sitting vice president became a new father was in the 1800s.

Schuyler Colfax and his second wife, Ellen Wade, had a son, Schuyler Colfax III, in 1870 when Colfax was serving as vice president, according to the White House Historical Association. Decades before that, John C. Calhoun and his wife, Floride Bonneau, had a son, William, in 1829 when Calhoun was vice president, the association said.

The newest addition to Vance’s family was part of a recent mini baby boom among top members of President Donald Trump’s administration. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, recently gave birth to the couple’s fourth child, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had her second child her husband in May.

Usha Vance recently came under scrutiny after The New York Times’ fashion critic called attention to the stomach-hugging, coral maternity dress she wore for a Father’s Day episode of “Storytime with the Second Lady,” a video podcast she launched during the pregnancy.

The Times wrote that the attention that Vance, Miller and Leavitt had put on their pregnancies offered “an image of idealized womanhood that gives literal shape to the pronatalist movement,” which encourages couples to have as many children as possible to counter declining birth rates.

The second lady responded on social media, writing, “Now that we know the political significance of my $8.75 coral maternity dress from Old Navy, can’t wait to hear what the New York Times has to say about my elastic-waistband pants and compression socks! In the meantime, enjoy my pregnancy fashion (or lack thereof) and a good story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady.” She later shared the receipt for the dress, and her husband applauded her frugality.

“She bought a $50 dress for $8.75. America: meet your next director of the federal budget!” the vice president wrote on social media.

JD Vance has said it was Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, telling them that she wished she’d had more than two children with her husband before he was assassinated last September in Utah that led him and the second lady to decide to grow their family. Usha Vance, a former attorney who once clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, concurred — in part.

“It was very powerful, what (Erika) said about her own family, and certainly very moving to both of us. I think I had already started to open my mind to the possibility,” Usha Vance said during a joint interview with her husband for “CBS Sunday Morning” that aired in June. “I wouldn’t say that this was, for me in any way, the decisive factor. But it came in the middle of a conversation that we were already having.”

Vice President JD Vance has a job approval of 32%. Usha Vance as the Second Lady of the United States has slightly favorable views. She has 52% favorably. She isn't in the limelight like First Lady Melania Trump or the vice president.

If I was Vance, I would not run for president. I would return back to Cincinnati, raise the children and consider a local run for governor if the opportunity comes. Vance already has the anger of the MIGA crowd. The pro Israel Republicans are still angry over his remarks about not giving a fuck about that country. 

Also white extremists hate the fact that Vance has diluted the bloodline by falling in love with an Indian American lawyer. Her parents, Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Yechuri immigrated to the United States.
