The Second Coming of Trump.. Content Warning.
Whether you like it or not, the US has elected its 47th President. Or should that be, the re-election of Donald Trump? It has taken four years of Biden's Presidency to get the 'Tango' man re-elected. In that time, Trump faced court appearances and other misdemeanours allegedly connected to him. Despite all this, Trump is now the man to take over from Biden in January 2025.

Rachel Speaks About Her Budget.. Content Warning.
Before Rachel Reeves announced her budget on Wednesday many thought there was no difference between the Tories and Labour. Such was the cynical view of people tired of both political parties.

Ceasefire Soon!. Content Warning.
The war still wages in the Middle East or Western Asia as it is sometimes called. Israel waits for Iran's strike back, Hamas is still fighting with Israel in Gaza, and the Houthis and pro-ran-elements in Iraq and Syria are still a threat. Israel and Hezbollah are still lobbing projectiles at each other. There seems to be no way out of this continuing cycle of conflict. There have been a myriad peace deals on the table. However, so far they have all come to nought. So, the suffering on all sides goes on and on.

Trump Complains!. Content Warning.
It is only natural that Labour activists would go to the US and campaign for Kamala Harris. Ms. Harris as the Democratic nominee for President has re-energised their campaign. Their campaign was going nowhere when Biden was their candidate. The Democrats had to gently push Biden out of the campaign especially, after the disastrous Biden debate with Trump. Biden reluctantly stepped aside nominating his VP as his successor.

Conference to Settle Gaza. Content Warning.
The dream of returning to Gaza was dead and buried. Long after settlers from Israel had been uprooted and the land handed to Palestinians. Now with the war in Gaza still in full swing despite the death of Hamas leader Yayha Sinwar, many Jews are thinking of settling in Gaza again. Far-right politicians in Netanyahu's cabinet like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are fanning the flames of this. Israel has been turning right for years now, as the idea of a two-state solution has died. Netanyahu himself is the Godfather of Jewish fascism so for him to be in coalition with other fascists is not surprising.

Zelenskyy Warns 10,000 North Korean Troops On Their Way.. Content Warning.
Russia is being aided in its ongoing war with Ukraine. Iran and China are supporting Russia's position in fighting Ukraine. That support is not just moral support but sending arms to help 'Vlad The Invader'. Iran has been sending suicide drones that have wreaked havoc in Ukraine. China has not openly declared it is sending weapons but it would not be a surprise.
