All political nonsense aside what interest could people possibly have in Melania? One if my mates commented it must be a silent movie because Charlie Chaplin had more to say. She doesn’t seem in anyway a charming or interesting person.

With Artemis planning a moon shot then if you said Obama faked the moon landing I'd bet money some MAGA heads would believe it.

Don't hold your breath on that one.

You might get the old "just look into it" line though.

The Director of National Intelligence was hovering around the site where the raid was. That's a bit weird.

Listened to the Newsagents podcast talking about it today. They fully expect the ballots removed to be tampered by Trump to allow him to create a narrative or strategy to maintain control of the House after the mid-term elections.

Would anyone put it past him for even a second? With Kash Patel in charge of the FBI and how he has behaved since taking the role. This is incredible stuff to be watching happening in what lauds itself as the beacon of Democracy.

You could argue that America isn't falling, but that it has fallen and is struggling to get up. The only thing I would say about Trump is that he is not quite smart enough to not make it every obvious as to what he has done and is doing, but there's no question but that other sinister characters are watching him and thinking about what actually can be done in plain sight.

She's a gold digger who knows what she has to do to end up with millions eventually…and she'll do it with a smile on her face.

She remembers what she came from and she's no desire to go back to that even if it means having to be around a repulsive slob like Trump.

No doubt this…"movie"…is nothing more than a puff piece. I've heard that a lot of the people involved with it have asked to have their names removed from the credits.

That tells me all I need to know.

I bet my very last dollar, that is if I had ones, that they will find the 12001 missing votes that were all for Trump and if they do not what’s the harm in printing that amount anyway - since we are in the post truth era WHERE ANYTHING GOES!!!M

I think we're getting to the stage again where lawyers taking Trumps vexatious cases will need to be disqualified from the bar. This happened to Sidney Powell in some states over the 2020 election lawsuits.

"…and because I was duly re-elected in 2020, but didn't serve because of the CROOKED DEMOCRATS AND JINA, that was like a minus term. So two terms in office, minus one that I should have had, means I only have one term so far, and am therefore announcing my candidacy…"

I mean, would that even be the maddest thing he's said this month?

Please provide some evidence. The burden of proof is on you so we're all eagerly awaiting it. So far coming across as a nonsensical conspiracy theory.

I brought ye plenty of receipts and evidence last year, as to why Trump was likely to win the election, it was all scoffed at and dismissed as unreliable sources, conspiracy theories etc. Fingers in ears stuff.

Biden was as sharp as a tack and Harris was romping to victory in yere minds. Trump was going to jail.

So I will pass this time on spoonfeeding people.

This has nothing to do with any of that though.

You said "Yes it is true, Obama is as guilty as sin." You were asked to provide evidence for that.

So provide it, nothing to do with Harris, Biden. Just provide your evidence.

You're claiming a conspiracy theory is true so I think it's reasonable for you to back it up. Given the president has pushed plenty of conspiracy theories, his word means feck all.

Btw, you yourself have a history of pushing complete nonsense in this thread. So trust me bro is not a great argument...

The question you are asked is about evidence on Obama. All we hear from you now is "Biden". I suppose the recent fall in the Dollar is also to be blamed on Biden.

What sort of morons do you take us for?

The work that OSINT and crowd sourced intel folk in pulling multiple threads of info and sources together really is quite remarkable.

This thread on twitter is an example of what diligent folk watching, compiling and reviewing can achieve.

Not that it needs reiterating but, it's quite clear that ICE felt unfettered by any accountability or oversight when they murdered Alex Pretti.

One of the few things Trump said that I agreed with was getting rid of Artemis to save money.

However, what he did was keep Artemis (corporate welfare) alive and fire a quarter of NASA workers and cancel lots of grants.

SLS stands for the Senate Launch System , it's jobs are to get senators elected and channel money into the military-industrial complex.

$100Bn to reuse 1980's parts that were designed in the 1960's and reinvent the wheel. The difficult stuff like life support and guidance is provided by the European Service Module, there's no new tech coming out of this. The current version of SLS can launch 10% more payload to LEO than a $150m (retail) Falcon Heavy.

One thing the "surge" of I.C.E and Border Patrol people in Minnesota might do is increase sales figures for Doorbell cameras and [maybe] body cameras, especially if they are fitted to send photos to a secure location for a "just in case" eventuality.

https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/23/surrender_as_a_service_microsoft/?td=keepreading It's similar in a way to the clipper chip but it's already pre-installed on Windows 11 computers. Cisco have backdoors for law enforcement. Blackberry allowed the Saudi's to access messages. Big tech will do what's profitable.

And Ring ? https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/07/ring_cameras_wildfire/ A useful service but thin edge of wedge. Eligible outdoor cameras will then start monitoring for signs of fire using AI-based image recognition. What else could AI-based image recognition be used for ?

In 2024 Ring announced it is discontinuing an option that allowed law enforcement agencies to request video footage without a warrant. In the US. But 2024 was a very long time ago.

Controversy over Erika Kirk's "Make Heaven Crowded Again" tour. Its mixing politics and religion, and a speaker from a controversial group called Harvest Christian Fellowship. Alleged victims have accused a pastor in that group of sexual abuse and trafficking in Romania. The number of accusers as of December was 12, but reports it may grow to 23.

Erika quickly received backlash for the inaugural event of her tour, however, as critics slammed the widowed mother of two for featuring Harvest Christian Fellowship lead pastor Greg Laurie as a guest speaker. This was deemed inappropriate as the controversial pastor is currently facing allegations of child abuse and trafficking. Pic: Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images

Another article on this.

In a new poll, 51% of Republicans support attacking Iran, rising to 61% among self described "MAGA Republicans".

39% of MAGA Republicans support invading Mexico, though it falls to 21% among other Trump supporters.

Its only 21% for attacking Greenland, rising to 26% among MAGA Republicans.

25% of Republicans support attacking China. 30% support attacking Colombia with 28% opposed. Trump has spread unfounded conspiracy theories about Gustavo Petro having cocaine factories. No independent agency or other government has made that accusation. The US Drug Enforcement Agency has not made that accusation.

The SCOTUS case on immunity for Trump as an ex president surely confers the same on the other 4 ex Presidents still alive.

I wasn't paying a huge amount of heed to the election and wouldn't have frequented this thread much. 90% of my info was through MSM, RTE or the Ukrainian thread. Any twitter talk or YouTube etc was giving trump a chance but I took the word of MSM. Tuned into the BBC as what could only be described as a Kamala winners party. I think that Irish presenter was hosting the BBC show.

Couldn't believe how they were convinced she would still win even when the writing was on the wall but it eventually turned into a wake. I think there was a thread on boards that night where we were clinging to hope till the last minute. The blue wave that never came.

It was only when the bookies switched to crazy 100/1 odds did the penny finally drop. There was a valuable lesson for us all there that night.

When I were a lad it was the lefties who were predictably bananas. These days let’s be generous and just say it’s a much closer contest. There are young men on the far right, I kid you not, who say they will vote for Newsom over Vance for president if it comes to that because he’s a ‘Chad’, ie more masculine-looking, and has a white wife.

I looked up that poll. Do they clarify if they mean military action against cartels in those countries or the government or is it left to the voters interpretation?

What they hell do they expect them to do in China? Only reason China should ever be attacked is if they first launch an invasion on the free peoples of Taiwan.

Ardillaun · 30-01-2026 03:21AM

I don’t want to sound like Nancy Reagan here and I’m not a big believer in free will anyway but virtually nobody is forced to take cocaine or fentanyl in America or Europe. They do it of their own accord and purchase these items in effectively a free market. To restate the obvious yet again, the war on drugs is a fool’s errand unless the drivers of demand are addressed. Why are North Americans (Canada too) so fond of the deadlier opioids? To look at this end of the problem involves a lot of tedious work and self-criticism - hence the lack of interest.
