Lula sai de casa pra comemorar a virada histórica, todo mundo respeitosamente esperando o carro sair, ele do nada surge do teto solar com um MEGAFONE e óculos do PT, todos vão correndo até ele, o segurança entra em pânico. QUE VÍDEO FANTÁSTICO.

Microsoft has offered to buyout about 60,000 employees around the world — almost a quarter of its workforce. The major cuts come as several tech giants continue to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on chips and AI centers. abcnews.link/CMCPgab

“Flávio has given up,” an adviser to the Bolsonaro family told me. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week and that he may have a long prison term ahead.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

JARED KUSHNER IS MOSSAD 🇮🇱 Dutch intelligence confirmed it. But… this is NOT new information. It was already revealed in the Epstein Files. The FBI already knew this. A leaked FBI report [I’ll post it in the replies] revealed that Epstein (and Alan Dershowitz) was Mossad, with Epstein personally trained as a spy by the ex-Prime Minister of Israel. And they RECRUITED the Kushner family. This includes Josh Kutcher who Trump exploited his power as president to get him ownership of the Lakers. Trump also exploited his power to pardon the family for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal donations. Jared now controls a multi-billion dollar, highly connected, fund used to exploit and extract from the Middle East. This is one of the largest crime families in the world.

"The real danger is not that New Zealand becomes communist. The real danger is that fear of being called communist prevents the country from doing the ordinary public things required to remain democratic and prosperous. If the left continues to apologise for challenging concentrated wealth, the right will continue to inherit the anger generated by the system it wants to preserve."

Well, would you look at that! 🔥 Just 380 km from Moscow, Ukraine has hit the Energy plant in Yelets. It is Russia's only factory plant that makes the batteries needed for its advanced missiles. Well done. Slave Ukraine! 🇺🇦

🇵🇸 “WE WERE PRAYING FOR HER TO FAINT.” Orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter described amputating the leg of a five-year-old girl in Gaza after the hospital ran out of anesthesia. She stayed awake through the entire procedure. The only thing the anesthesia doctor could do was SING to her. Mark said the ER floor was filled with dozens of children, many missing limbs or with injuries so severe they needed amputations, inside a hospital with only around 40 to 50 beds.

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅 My view: Trump chose to insult Norway. Visit Norway answered with humour, confidence and a showcase of its most beautiful loos. That’s how you turn an insult into an invitation. Congratulations to Norway for responding with such grace - and giving us another reason to visit. I've never been to Norway, but this is just another reason to visit 😁
