@britainelects May we remember those women who lost their lives due to the cruelty of religious extremists tonight. Let us cheer this resounding victory for women's dignity in Ireland!

@berlin_bridge There is a clear pattern with several opportunistic western journalists and I am done giving them the benefit of doubt. Messy gossip and wild speculations damage reputations. This is a fact. This example is outrageous!

@RadioFreeTom @Susan_Hennessey America has been run by an international crime syndicate for 2 years. Hundreds of people in the WH witnessed it. Republicans cheered it on. Only ONE person blew the whistle. The GOP wanted to turn us into a banana republic. Shameful.

@michelleinbklyn Did you track how the Wi Spa story unfolded in the progressive media? They all fell for the "irresistible narrative" while neglecting to do basic research. It was a freelancer who located the offending party -- a man with a criminal record of exposing himself for kicks.

@juliacarriew Vicious + beautiful read. "His portrayal of Jesus and Socrates as tellers of stories is exactly wrong. They spoke in questions, riddles and parables, meant to refresh minds and souls. That spirit of inquiry is absent here."
