This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC. Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says the media lied to millions of Americans about President Trump, and that after going back to the original source material, he realized he had been completely misled about Trump’s character. PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.” “And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.” “One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?” “I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.” “I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.” “And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.” “And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.” “And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.” “And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”

“Perhaps my best story that never made the papers was the day I came out of the David Kelly inquiry and rang my news editor to say the ambulance crew had questioned the slash marks on his wrist being the wrong way round, only to be told, ‘No, that’s not the line we’re going on.’” Important article from 30 year Fleet Street veteran Melissa Kite (@melissakite1) about how the ‘media’ lies by omission to run PR for enemies of the people.

BREAKING: Nearly 10,000 Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa since the start of 2026 alone. Another 4,000 kidnapped. More than 1,000 churches attacked. Where is the global outrage?

We finally have HARD PROOF: Democrats gave “$6 billion to a conglomerate of United Nations agencies and over 200 NGOs” to facilitate the illegal immigration invasion of America CONFIRMED: It was the United Nations who tried to take down America with the Democrat regime Mike Howell “I currently serve as the executive director of the Oversight Projects and previously was at DHS and on Capitol Hill conducting oversight of immigration matters. The United States of America is still reeling from the worst border invasion in its history.” “This invasion could not have been accomplished without a colossal partnership with the NGO community. Simply put, the government just did not have the capacity to get this many people in and around the country without the support of the nonprofits. And to that end, they gave them almost $6 billion to a conglomerate of UN agencies and over 200 NGOs to do just that” “The Oversight Project has led the way in exposing what I call this border industrial complex — We did the first of its kind study where we tracked illegal aliens by their cell phones as they went through these nonprofits at the border. In just a one month period in tracking 30,000 devices, so a very small subset of the 10 million that Biden had crossed the border We found out that the illegals went to nearly EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN THE UNITED STATES. We proved that every town was indeed a border town.”

Globalists money finders are always looking for ways to manipulate elections. 🇬🇧 always 12 months behind 🇺🇸 will see plenty of this in our next GE. 👇🏼
Operatives aligned with Alaska Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from her Republican rival. The group worked to coax would-be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent's support. nyti.ms/3U1qsP1

🚨 Breaking: After a three year battle, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has finally changed its policy on single-sex spaces for staff to bring it in line with the law. It is amazing how simple it is! Now all NHS Trusts must urgently follow suit. Bethany Hutchison, President of the Darlington Nursing Union and lead claimant in the case, said: “This short sentence in a policy has taken women three years of fear, humiliation and extraordinary personal sacrifice to secure. “We were nurses asking for the most basic protection: somewhere private and safe to undress at work, away from members of the opposite sex. Instead of listening, the Trust told us to compromise, broaden our mindset and be more inclusive. We were forced out of our own changing room, placed in inadequate facilities, threatened with disciplinary action and made to fear for our jobs and professional careers. “Vulnerable colleagues were put under intolerable pressure. International nurses feared losing their visas. Women who had experienced domestic abuse were left distressed and afraid. Four of us were reported to our professional regulator simply for speaking publicly about what was happening. “Throughout it all, the Trust defended a policy it had been warned was unlawful. Even after the Supreme Court clarified the law, it refused to change course. It took a full tribunal judgment, an apology, damages and an enormous bill before the Trust finally wrote biological reality into its policy. “We welcome this change because it will protect women across the Trust, but it should never have required a three-year legal battle. No nurse should ever again be treated as we were for asking for dignity, privacy and safety.” See more breaking in the Daily Express and with @CConcern and the Christian Legal Centre who have supported the nurses from the beginning. express.co.uk/news/uk/226004… christianconcern.com/ccpress…

Weird. You never mention the people that fund your party…

The electorate aren’t goldfish. Our memories are long enough to recall June 2024, when you declared that trans-identified men with penises should be able to use women’s public bathrooms. It took a Supreme Court ruling to force you to uphold women’s rights, and now you pose as our bold champion? Please.

How did they both pass *their* respective parties’ vetting processes? Maybe it’s just a fact of life that there are bad people in ALL organisations?

UK Parliament has mentioned Gaza more than the NHS or immigration. In the Commons, Gaza racked up 9,228 mentions in roughly the first 10 months after the 2024 election — more than immigration/asylum (~5,700) or the NHS (~5,300). A year on, it is still regularly debated: ceasefire, aid, arms, RAF flights, inquiries. This is a conflict 2,000 miles away with no British troops on the ground, no UK territory at stake, and no direct threat to Britain. Domestic problems — waiting lists, housing, borders — keep getting ignored.

Loose change for these 🤡 but will doubtless be used to reward their supporters of all kinds.
The time for talk has long passed, says Bridget Phillipson. So she has set up a taskforce, and signed off fifteen million pounds of your money. Follow the money. The cash goes to the Office for the Impact Economy. A quango. Not a department, not a service, a quango. It is then handed out in grants to charities. And the taskforce that decides what "works" is stuffed with those same charities. Women's Aid. The End Violence Against Women Coalition. Girlguiding. A mayor, and a few academics. So the sector sits on the panel, defines the problem, defines the solution, and then bids for the money. Circular. Five million a year of public money, through a quango, to the same charities, to run training and adverts about attitudes. And nobody will ever be able to tell you whether it worked. You cannot measure misogyny. No baseline, no target, no number. It is a mood with a budget. In three years the money is gone, the men are exactly the same, and it will be declared a triumph. And these are the same charities who spend their other hours telling you Britain must take in more people. So the handout does not stop at the grant. It funds the sector that lobbies for the next wave. The time for talk has long passed. So they wrote a cheque to their own client base and called it a policy. Fifteen million pounds. Our money. For a feeling. And the girls are still being failed in the towns.

Disgraceful.
Delighted to learn cost conscious civil servants spent a very, very modest £33,000 of taxpayer cash on an absolutely lovely stay at Hartwell House in Buckinghamshire to recharge their batteries to ensure they serve you fully refreshed. The @cabinetofficeuk noted it could have cost a lot more and therefore you should rejoice at the minimal cost.

THROWBACK: 1978 – Townview Man v Yellow Band This is one of the biggest match races Irish greyhound racing has ever seen, run over the testing four-bend 700 yards at Dunmore Stadium, Belfast. The match came about after Yellow Band beat Matthew's dog in the Sean Graham 700. A rematch was the only way to settle it. Each owner put up £10,000 and the track added another £10,000, making £30,000 winner-takes-all. That is roughly £250,000 in today's money. To put it in context, the 1978 English and Irish Derby winners each took home £20,000. This one race was worth more than either Derby. The BBC cameras were there, and on the night Townview Man got the job done. Watch the footage from the BBC Archive above.
