Sack of Rome 1527 🤝 Sack of Rome 2027
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

'Executive orders' are a foreign concept to the British constitution because the prime minister is not a president. Perhaps Farage is intent on usurping the throne?

David Lammy is sharpening the axe...
Andrew remains 8th in line to the throne. He is the first senior royal to be arrested since 1647

Anas Sarwar's political operation appears to be more incompetent than Keir Starmer's, which is a genuinely impressive achievement.

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because @RepThomasMassie & I forced the release of the Epstein files. What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable? We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

I'm sure Hugh Despenser appreciated Edward II's continued confidence in him too...
Starmer defends McSweeney, his chief of staff, at PMQs: "Morgan McSweeney is an essential part of my team. He helped me change the Labour Party & win the election. Of course I have confidence in him"

Mark Carney has been a politician for just over a year and he has 10x the political skills Keir Starmer has acquired in 10 years.
Canada PM Mark Carney spoke at the World Economic Forum, calling on "middle powers" to stop mourning the old-world order. He asked them to create new alliances to oppose pressure tactics and intimidation bloom.bg/3LOEAXs

The hostage release today - and the credit Trump is getting and taking! - is a reminder of just how bad the Democrats are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu and thereby help Harris defeat Trump, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released from captivity with his Nov 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his. But that ceasefire has been memory-holed, including by many Dems. The Democrats are often their own worst enemies, on politics, on messaging, on almost everything.

BREAKING⚡️🇩🇪🇪🇺 Germany just struck Lithium gold, one of the largest lithium deposits on Earth was found underground in Saxony, Germany. This may change everything. European electric cars can now be truly European. No more begging China. No more Silicon Valley middlemen. Time to scale. Time to build. Elon, better start learning German.

The warehouse belonged to a print shop...
A "powerful explosion" and fire broke out in a warehouse in the industrial park of the city of Swindon in southwest England, reports Sky News. Wiltshire County Police said evacuation measures are underway for residents in the surrounding areas. Last week, the British government announced the opening of a major drone manufacturing plant in Swindon next year. Of course, there's already talk of russian sabotage. The British authorities will certainly continue to closely monitor explosions at military industrial facilities.

Biden's mental faculties were in decline. Trump never had any to begin with.
Trump: We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one.
