Thanks to @GuidoFawkes here is a list of all the products that will be (or in the near future) banned from the UK under Burnham’s bone headed EU Reset Deal As you can see it’s a testament to Brussels micromanagement of the lives of voters who cannot via the ballot box, be that inside or outside of the EU, change any of this Labour seem think that British civilisation is so fundamentally backwords that we as a people can’t be allowed to decide these things for ourselves with our vote

It has to be Michael Jordan’s 23. It’s globally recognized even by people who don't follow sports. Wayne Gretzky’s 99 and Jackie Robinson’s 42 are the only ones that come close.

🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in! Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in. We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat. I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers! Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable. Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR. Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim! Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership. The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.” My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions: 1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes 2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order 3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected 4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored 5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule. I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session. The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly. @GregAbbott_TX

Release the Epstein files Democrats!!! what are you waiting for? You’ve been in power now for hours. 😒 let’s go chop chop

It’s weird, Dems on 𝕏 acting like they won the House, Senate and Presidency tonight. President Trump still is the president. He holds veto power…and if the house and senate vote their party line, the veto won’t be bypassed. So Dems get nothing done for the next 2 years. The economy is already growing and that won’t stop. Gas prices are already coming down. They can’t take credit for these. So what will they campaign on in 2028?

HISTORY HAS SHOWN US THAT SITTING PRESIDENTS CAN ABSOLUTELY BE HAMMERED BY THE OPPOSITION PARTY IN MID-TERM ELECTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE… 2010- BARACK OBAMA- LOST 64 HOUSE SEATS 1994- BILL CLINTON- LOST 54 HOUSE SEATS 2018- DONALD TRUMP- LOST 42 HOUSE SEATS 2006- GEORGE W. BUSH- LOST 30 HOUSE SEATS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SENATE… BILL CLINTON LOST 9 IN 1994 BARACK OBAMA LOST 9 IN 2014 RONALD REAGAN LOST 8 IN 1986 Just some perspective for tonight.

I’m sorry but any predictions and “polls” that say Democrats would pick senate sits in TX, KS and AK are not operating in the rhelm of reality. Democrats would for sure probably take the house but I don’t see a majority that has anything beyond a 10 seat margin.

I absolutely love Shepards Pie - this is the British version, the original version.

Mark Carney: Canada is prepared to wait for a new US president rather than sign Trump's trade deal. Isn't that a midterm election interference?

Quick question: If 10,000 square miles of solar panels, is enough solar panels to power the entire continental United States, and 10,000 square miles is about 5% of one undeveloped desert in and around Nevada, why are we a.) covering farmland with solar panels, and b.) not building a massive solar farm in Nevada?

If you're campaigning on ending the tariffs, you should have an answer as to how to replace the $200 billion/yr in revenue they will generate (or very specific spending cuts). If campaigning on ending the war in Iran, you should have an answer as to how the US should do that.

This is insane, only will Google AI not tell you who won the 2020 election, (2016, 2024 it answers no problem) if asked to list the winners of last few elections this is what you get.

I had real trouble believing that Google was actually doing this, but I just duplicated the result myself. The two queries were about a minute apart and identical except for a single digit.

The world dumpling map blew my mind. Tortellini and ravioli can be classified as dumplings?! Feels weird but it does make sense... Born and raised in Bavaria I was very happy to see Semmelknoedel featured! Interactive version here: buff.ly/2P6xNHH

being athletic in the uk is genuinely pointless. no pathways for anything that’s not football. other western countries are miles ahead.

How do cricket fans not understand that you wear a glove in baseball because balls are coming off the bat at 120 MPH and it would literally take your hand off You’ll never see a cricket ball reach 95+
