"The head of the BBC, Tim Davie, and the head of BBC News, Deborah Turness, have been forced to resign after misrepresenting Donald Trump. This will be interesting news to everyone who remembers 2015-2019 when the BBC misrepresented then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and we did not see a single resignation. In fact, we saw the opposite. We saw legal action against those who pointed it out."
"Patel recently activated his legal network to fire back against his most voracious critics. However, the targets of his wrath are not “Deep State” liberals, or anyone resembling the “Hillary Queentown” villain from his children’s book, but the most ideologically zealous voices of the America First movement, whom he’s accused of slandering his girlfriend."
"Empires don’t collapse from external enemies. Not through conquest. Not through revolution. They crumble from within, as trust in their money quietly decays — the slow death of their currency. Is the American Empire next?"
"In an industry of seedy soothsayers, cocksure charlatans and resourceful rogues, honest and accurate appraisals are exquisitely rare. When it comes to economics, investments and finance, this is particularly so. Certitude, however, tends to be in abundance for those predicting the next financial crash, the sort that will singe earnings and strafe savings. Take, for instance, hedge fund investor Michael Burry, a man of sufficient notoriety to warrant a celluloid depiction of himself by Christian Bale in the 2015 film The Big Short."
"Some say that when someone dies, if you don’t have something nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything. I would say that when a war criminal dies, if you can’t tell the truth, you should keep your mouth shut.
If a war criminal in the global south died, western imperialists would not say something nice, unless, of course, that war criminal was aligned with the west. There is no default response of niceness towards a dead war criminal who wasn’t part of the empire."

"Zohran is an extremist who wants to introduce Sharia law and force New York’s women to wear burkas. Well, apart from his beautiful wife who wears really cool clothes, actually. Zohran wants to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor which is exactly the wrong way around. But the biggest issue is that he doesn’t support Israel’s genocide, and is still hugely popular with young Jews."
