A Welshman walks into a ‘Spoons.
Tells the barman he's got a great joke about Reform voters.
The barman tells him that he's a Reform voter, so are the 3 big guys at the end of the bar and the 2 woman sat next to him.
'So do you still want to tell it', the barman says.
The man says. 'No. Not if I'm going to have to explain it 6 times"... 😆

Who could’ve predicted that Melania, who took credit for a college degree she never earned & took credit for a speech Michelle Obama wrote & took credit for fluency in 5 languages that English is not one of - is taking credit for a ceasefire deal Pope Leo brokered.

I'm an American, a U.S. Army veteran, and I live in Europe.
And I'll tell you something that might upset a few people back home.
I want my fellow Americans to enjoy the same rights, freedoms, and quality of life that millions of Europeans already enjoy.
I want Americans to have access to affordable healthcare without worrying about going bankrupt because they got sick.
I want American students to pursue higher education without burying themselves in decades of debt.
I want Americans to enjoy stronger digital privacy laws, meaningful consumer protections, paid parental leave, and guaranteed paid vacation.
I want police officers held to rigorous standards of accountability, where de-escalation is emphasized and deadly force is genuinely a last resort.
I want Americans to understand that freedom isn't just about what the government cannot do to you. It's also about having the security and opportunity to actually enjoy your life.
And before someone starts screaming about socialism, understand something.
European countries are capitalist democracies. They have private businesses, entrepreneurs, private property, competitive markets, and individual liberties. They've simply made different decisions about what protections their citizens should enjoy.
Europe isn't perfect. No place is. But pretending America has nothing to learn from other democracies is ridiculous.
I served my country. I love my country. And I don't believe patriotism requires pretending that America is the best at everything.
In fact, I believe the exact opposite.
Real patriotism means wanting your country to improve, even when that means admitting another country does something better.
I don't want Americans to have fewer freedoms.
I want them to have MORE.
More protections. More opportunities. More security. More accountability. More freedom to live their lives without being financially destroyed by illness, education, or circumstances beyond their control.
And having lived on both sides of the Atlantic, I know that much of this is possible.
We should stop asking why Americans can't have these things and start asking why they're expected to settle for less.

There is a massive corruption scandal unfolding in the US, with top American executives abandoning a $25 billion gas project over allegations of secret Russian investment and control.
All of this is happening just as the US administration moves to ease sanctions on Russia.
It is exactly what it looks like: blatant corruption. An attempt to sell out Ukraine in exchange for lucrative deals out of pure greed. Meanwhile, it is Ukraine that continues to endure constant, baseless accusations supported by nothing. Madness.

So, absolutely nothing on the guy that tried to do a hit at the WH Correspondence Dinner. No trial, no information, not a fucking word.

I have yet to see a Muslim politician trying to force their religion on the rest of America.
Know what I have seen? Christian politicians repeatedly pushing their religious beliefs into our laws, our schools, and our personal lives.

Trump and the GOP have been working hard to keep this video from being reposted on social media. Repost it, keep it alive. Too many people aren't paying attention to who Donald Trump is.
He's a liar, and by his own words, he must be held accountable.🤥

"It's entirely possible you found a type of settlement, too". The banks around the edge have never been explained in terms of a decaying wooden ship, but could be an ancient enclosure (cattle pound on the pass over the ridge). Pottery was found there
Note the weasel-wording here. They have (empirical) "results" but will not publish them to show what they have so far (1987, 2019-21 and 2026 scans) just ask you for money to get some more - meaning ALL the previous ones have produced nothing conclusive. A #DurupinarScam?
U.S. defense scientist and rock mechanics expert Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar is drawing attention to intriguing radar findings beneath the Durupınar formation in eastern Turkey—a site long believed by some researchers to be the possible remains of Noah’s Ark.
With decades of experience in rock mechanics and subsurface analysis, Dr. Bakhtar has described the findings as potentially among the most significant of his career.
The radar surveys have reportedly identified unusual subsurface features that researchers are continuing to investigate.
Could these discoveries help solve one of the greatest mysteries in biblical archaeology?
The evidence is still being examined, and further investigation is needed to determine what these structures actually represent.
Could we be closer than ever to uncovering the truth about Noah’s Ark?
👇 What do you think?
"we masked all the geological features” this is just epistemological nonsense, the ground they are walking on and in which the remains are embedded are, by definition, a product of the geological processes creating it. #DurupinarScam-talk for fund-raising, not serious research.
“This is the most significant finding in my 40 year career, I have never seen anything like this…and it’s not geological, because we masked all the geological features. ”
-Dr. Khrosrow Bakhtar PHD describing the results of his preliminary report after leading the subsurface survey at the Noah’s Ark Site.
With over 40 years in rock mechanics and defense tech, Dr. Bakhtar has led over 25 major U.S. Department of Defense projects for agencies like the Air Force, Navy, and DTRA. He has authored over 200 technical papers and developed advanced imaging systems like BakhtarRadar and Forced-Resonance Imaging (FRI) for detecting underground structures.
In short: America’s top rock expert says the Durupinar Formation is not a natural rock formation, and that an “extraordinary structure” lies beneath the surface.
What theory and excuses will our opposition come up with next?
Also, on the west-facing side is a vertical cliff-face of earth that your team claim was formed (somehow, you've never explained how) by "being (sic) Noah's Ark" but what about the larger, curving one just a few metres to the west and joining it that is EXACTLY THE SAME?
Just to clarify the question @noahsarkscans,
why are your "man-made object" claims not a #DurupinarScam?

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history.
Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.
