1984 wasn’t a prediction of the future, it was a reflection of the UK in 1948, when it was written. Like it or not, the UK has never had freedom of speech. London has the most CCTV cameras by area outside of Asia. The UK has always been a surveillance state.

And I bet that they will be armed. ☠️ I know I am making some assumptions here, but the hypocrisy is verging on the ridiculous. This Superintendent is most likely all for taking guns away from the ordinary citizen and will almost certainly be against having armed security at the schools for which she is responsible, yet avows that she needs security herself. If she did her job in a competent manner and represented the teachers, children and parents, then she would have no need for personal security. But she is earning 7x the average teachers’ wages and, by implication, is doing such an awesome job that she feels threatened by the very people she is supposed to represent. She needs to go and go now. Her and her bodyguard’s salaries could employ 9 more teachers, or raise a bunch of existing teachers’ salaries to something a little better.

What I fail to comprehend is how any sane and rational person could ever describe the allegations against Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et al as a “distraction” from the Epstein controversy. 🤷🏽 Since when did credible allegations of high treason and seditious conspiracy rate as less important than the remote possibility of maybe a sex scandal? If it were more than a remote possibility, it would have come out in the 2024 election cycle. And threats of a second American Civil War, if Obama is arrested, make me concerned for the future. More than any SCOTUS rulings, Executive Orders, or Congressional Bills, the excusing of a prominent political figure accused of treason, if that’s how this pans out, on ANY GROUNDS, be it their political party, skin color, religion, or that they support the Yankees, is so far removed from the ideal of this Constitutional Republic as to render it dead. ☠️

He didn’t just survive. He walked out of the wreckage 😱

The big turbofans generally aren’t that loud Have to understand when the bang occurred. I took it to meant first impact with something on the ground.

This was news late summer last year. Pretty sure it’s in a thread somewhere. 🥸

Would it be digenous, or outdigenous? What about bidigenous, pandigenous or transdigenous? We want equal representation, regardless of digenosity!!! ☠️

America just experience 4 years without one. ☠️

Where I’m sitting now it’s snowing … again ❄️

So, they thought twice about it? That’s thread times more than Joe did. ☠️

One has to earn sufficient disposable income before one has the luxury of worrying about the zenith and nadir of the stock market. And this one don’t ☠️

😢 Still utterly failing at satire.

And we think the U.S. power grid is vulnerable. ☠️

Oh, please, oh, please, oh, pleeeeeeeeeease! 😋

Clueless and cluelesser … er 🤪

Meanwhile, Joe Public is wondering whether saving a dollar here and a dollar there is going to make a difference with affording the rent, the groceries, the next medical bill, etc. The sheer arrogance of the Washington machine, the political class and the career politicians regarding the amount of taxpayer money that is going to programs they have never heard of/would never approve of is mind-blowing. And they only care to keep the money train going. Meanwhile, the MSM is running cover, demonising those that want to improve the lot of the average American. Because dependency gives the power, and power is what they crave above all else. Iit’s sickening.☠️

Or maybe they learned Common Core Geography? 🤔

It's not just charities. ☠️

CNN Airs Clips of Newsom Saying ‘Latinx’ After He Denied His Office Ever Used the Term https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-airs-clips-of-gavin-newsom-saying-latinx-after-he-denied-his-office-ever-used-the-term/ CNN going after Newsom? 🤨

In the U.S., maybe. What is truly disheartening is seeing the almost monolithic response to what happened by all the friends I have in the UK and it is all coming down on the side of Zelenskyy. Regardless of any evidence to the contrary, that clip of the argument is all they seem to consider. The TDS pandemic is spreading. i doubt we will see another open White House meeting for a while. ☠️
