There are many millions of people who own guns in the US and it’s fair to assume that many of them know what they’re doing with a rifle. So I don’t think the clean hit at distance means that it must have been a professional assassination. Although with the Trump admin you can’t rule anything out.

I think Hesgeth and Trump throwing their weight around in Venezuela might be relevant to Putin’s escalation in Europe.

I get the impression that in the west people think that either Putin will drop dead sooner or later, or the Russian economy will implode sooner or later, and these wait and see options are better than actually confronting the situation.

It’s a strange juxtaposition with the Nordic countries essentially running the lives of the average American family, while their governments at home seem helpless to stop the endless Russian dicking about with GPS bullshit.

Jeffrey Epstein had doctors prescribe birth control and sedatives to his victims. They also screened his victims for STDs. He had dentists work on their teeth. I’d like to know who these people are and why they have been protected.

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

You get that with Aviva at Preston on the west coast line trains to Scotland. Preston is where they change crews over, and three different times I’ve had to wait 30 minutes plus because the new driver is on his/her break. Not the drivers’ fault.

Could a national journalist at the Reform conference, since I doubt the Clacton Gazette will do it, ask Nigel how many constituency surgeries he's held so far, and at which locations? Not heard anything since October 2024 when he said he was told not to, and then admitted that was made up?
