  1. Eurovision odds: Finland is the heavy favorite to win Saturday’s grand final

  2. So another quiet day in UK then.

    If Keir fights for his position — as he has indicated — I wonder if others will want to join a leadership contest beyond the obvious candidates of Streeting, Burnham, and Rayner.

    Milliband? Cooper? Are there other credible candidates?

    Technically I think there could only be four candidates standing against Keir (you need nominations from 20% of the Parliamentary Labour Party). So 81 MPs needed meaning there could be a maximum of four challengers.

  3. I shouldn't exist.

    All four of my grandparents were child survivors of the first genocide of the 20th century. One was actually pulled out of a death march. Another was smuggled out of the country by Jesuits. All of them lost dozens of close family members.

    So I shouldn't exist.

    But that's why genocide is so incredibly personal to me. Not just the genocide of my people; ANY genocide.

    And it seems to me that those for whom genocide ISN'T personal...are completely insane.

  4. Making America Safe Again

    Crime is absolutely a disease. When the wrong people are in power, crime can not only cause harm on the citizens and bring down property values, but also cause economic depression, social deterioration and spread immorality. Even worse, there were foreign terrorists and illegal immigrants who escalated crime in many parts of America during the years of the failed US President Joe Biden.

    Fortunately, Donald Trump returned as US President and his unwavering support for law enforcement continues to create results with making America safe again.  

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the official announcement by the White House. Some parts in boldface…

    This National Police Week, America honors the brave men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives daily to protect our communities. Under President Donald J. Trump, these heroes are respected, empowered, and supported — not defunded, demonized, or betrayed by the Radical Left.

    After four years of Democrats’ war on police, President Trump has delivered decisive leadership that puts officers back in control — and the results are undeniable:

    In 2025, the U.S. murder rate posted its largest single-year drop on record — plummeting to the lowest level in 125 years — with sharp declines across all violent crimes. Major cities saw massive homicide reductions, while rapes, robberies, assaults, shootings, officer deaths (an 80-year low), traffic fatalities, and overdoses all plunged. These historic gains are accelerating into 2026 — especially in cities like Washington, D.C., and Memphis, where President Trump deployed federal support to restore order and back local police.

    These victories are the direct result of the Trump Administration’s unbreakable commitment to law and order:

    Imposing the death penalty for cop killers: President Trump directed the Department of Justice to aggressively seek capital punishment for those who murder police officers.

    Scrapping Democrats’ soft-on-crime mandates: The Trump Administration rescinded radical Biden-era orders pushing “alternatives to arrest” for violent offenders and restrictions that tied officers’ hands when using lawful force to make arrests.

    Empowering cities to clear the streets: States and localities now have stronger tools to remove disorderly vagrants and direct them toward treatment instead of enabling chaos.

    Restoring critical funding and delivering relief: The Working Families Tax Cuts Act restored and expanded Byrne JAG and COPS grants to fight violent crime — while delivering No Tax on Overtime for America’s hardworking officers so they can keep more of what they earn protecting us.

    Ending cashless bail: The Trump Administration halted federal support for the Radical Left’s “cashless bail” scheme that turned streets into revolving doors for dangerous criminals — and imposed consequences on jurisdictions that refused to act.

    Dismissing anti-police lawsuits and DEI mandates: Biden-era DOJ actions targeting local police and fire departments and weakening hiring standards were dropped to protect public safety — not political correctness.

    Reclaiming law enforcement’s authority: President Trump took bold action to promote aggressive, proactive policing based on proven best practices — while shielding officers from unjust expenses and liabilities so they can enforce the law without fear.

    Deploying backup to high-crime cities: The Trump Administration surged federal resources into high-crime Democrat-run cities — standing shoulder-to-shoulder with local police to crush chaos, restore order, and rescue communities long victimized by Democrat failures.

    Giving police the equipment they need: The Department of Justice reversed Biden-era restrictions and restored access to critical surplus military assets so local law enforcement has the tools to win.

    Targeting criminal illegal aliens: Federal agents are now empowered to support local police in removing violent criminal illegals, resulting in hundreds of thousands of arrests and removals that make communities safer.

    Slashing restrictive consent decrees: The Trump Administration launched an overhaul of federal consent decrees that micromanaged and hindered effective policing in cities across America.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? What is your opinion about the current state of crime in the United States today? Are you satisfied with the Trump administration’s support for law enforcement and police forces? Did you witness any violent crime in your local community committed by foreigners or Islamic terrorists? Do you consider the Democrats as the party of criminals, murderers and terrorists?

  5. America: The Farewell Tour "America is convulsed by an array of pathologies that have arisen out of profound hopelessness" Sale: $21 to $1.99 by Chris Hedges Rating: 4.6/5 (1,259 Reviews) #politics #history #society #booksky #america #crisis #nonfiction #books

    America: The Farewell Tour

  6. 70% of Americans now disapprove of Trump's economic handling — the highest figure recorded across both terms. 77%, including 55% of Republicans, say his policies have driven up their cost of living. The "no new wars, prices will come down" platform that won 2024 is now its own receipt.

  7. 📊 I can understand why Rachel would say that, but I bet if all the candidates state they see no need to change the chancellor (markets will definitely like that), her tune could change markedly.

    Stating Rachel Reeves would be kept in position would be music to global markets ears.
