Labour MP Laura Smith Calls For First General Strike Since 1926
Why a general strike? For what reason? We don't know, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. Perhaps it could make Britain ungovernable. That would be a good thing, innit?

Fact-Checking Trump’s Speech to the United Nations
Mr. Trump’s claim of signing the “biggest” tax cut in American history is false; by various metrics, several rank higher.
     He was also wrong in characterizing recent military spending bills as “record funding.” Even without adjusting for inflation, President Barack Obama signed legislation in 2010 that provided more money for the military.
      Mr. Trump has signed a relatively low number of bills when compared to other presidents, even at similar points in their terms.
     Mr. Trump overstated the US trade deficit by about $250 billion.

    2. We pray that he cannot be confirmed until there is an investigation of his conduct. We pray that you withdraw him. We pray his family is spared this embarrassment to him

    2. This from a 5th-rate President who nearly defines "low-life"

    2. Yeah? What have you done for Saudi or Bahrain to make them safer? What have you done for Iraq or Syria to make it safer. What have you done for Jordan to make it safer?

    2. Probably because you insist on the stupid, wasteful, silly WALL that will not do anything against illegal immigration or drug trafficking. That's why you cannot get the votes from either side. If you want to protect our border, hire more border guards. Get jobs not walls

Herald Sun Newspaper Hits Back Over Cartoonist's 'unRacist' Serena Williams IllustrationIt seems one can no longer do caricatures of black women, without being accused of sexism and racism.    That seems both sexist and racist.
     If you don;t think so, please tell me what WOULD be an acceptable caricature of Serena Williams behaving in an unsportsman-like and hysterical manner

The furore over Serena Williams exposes double standards & invisible structures of our society
It is absolutely sexist to insist that women follow the same rules as men.
They should be able to flaunt the rules if they feel like it.
Especially if they are famous.
Newspaper's Cartoon Of Serena Williams Condemned As 'Racist And Sexist'
It is definitely racist AND sexist to suggest that Serena Williams should follow the rules of tennis. 
She's is famous: so anything negative said about her is, by definition, racist and sexist

Vogue Writer Notes Lady Gaga’s ‘Shapely Behind’ In Profile Discussing Her Assault
Yes! Outrageous.  He should have said "unshapley behind".   That would have been okay, right?

Ontario Woman Allegedly Charged For Allegedly Slapping U.S. Border Officer
When will we know if she was actually charged or if she did actually slap the officer?

    1. “ERIC Holder could be running the Justice Department right now and it would be behaving no differently than it is.” s
    2. Yep. he did a good job. Sessions is doing okay, not as good, but okay. But you don't want an independent Attorney General who works for the America, you want a partisan tool.
      End of conversation
    1. New conversation
      “We have found nothing to show collusion between President Trump & Russia, absolutely zero, but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible.”

Replying to p
No, it isn't. Why do you lie so much? Or do you think it is your job to mislead the American people?

I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
Trump Lashes Out After Reports of ‘Quiet Resistance’ by StaffI wouldn't be at all surprised if Trump authorized this column just to get his base fired up.    Particularly good trick to get it done anonymously: that way the author can be called gutless
    Many Trumpettes are aghast that he hasn't been able to achieve his agenda of isolation of America, kow-towing to dictators, war with Iran, the elimination of pollution regulations, the use of public lands for private gain and the destabilisation of Europe.   Now they have someone to blame.

Republicans Accuse Twitter of Bias Against Conservatives
The Twitter world IS biased against conservatives.  
They want it biased for them.   If that take censorship, so be it

World Surf League Offers Equal Prize Money For Female Surfers
If they draw audiences as much as the men, then it is about time.
If they draw more, or less, then it is sexism

  1. You sound just like Kim Jung Un, Maduro and Erdogan.
  2. There is no national security purpose. The guy is critical of you. Being critical of you is not Treason. Grow a pair and stop whining,
