The Cloak Of Deceit In The UK
Elon Musk has ripped it off.
I don’t know, at this point, if Britain isn’t beyond salvation. It seems to be committing a slow national suicide.
The Fires

My TL is full of LA fires. This was almost inevitable, given the huge fuel buildup over the past two years from all of the excess rain, the complete lack of rain since spring, and then these hurricane-like Santa Anas. It will sadly get worse before it gets better. This may be the…

Good Tidings
The judge hasn’t yet ruled on my case, but this seems propitious.
The Criminal Fraud Behind Biden’s Presidency
Yes, they should be exposed and, if possible, prosecuted.

Conspiracies too awful to imagine.
