Pete Buttigieg Is Not Gay, According to Disgraced Former Fox News Host
LGBTQ NATION: Tucker Carlson, a longtime homophobe, cited bizarre "proof" of Buttigieg's heterosexuality.
Out gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg isn’t really gay, according to anti-LGBTQ+ former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who is also expected to speak at this week’s Republican National Convention.
In a recent episode of Carlson’s show — hosted on X, the social media platform owned by transphobic right-wing billionaire Elon Musk — Carlson called Buttigieg “supposedly gay” and said that one of his show’s gay producers told him that Buttigieg “is not gay.” “Gays all keep close track of that stuff,” Carlson said, offering no real proof of his absurd claim. » | Daniel Villarreal | Monday, July 15, 2024

This documentary is not suitable for people with weak stomachs. I have myself had to look away on several occasions as watching people eat raw meat from freshly-slaughtered reindeer is not something I find easy to watch! It’s a very interesting documentary, though. – Mark
Prince Philip WAS Named in Top-secret FBI Documents about the Profumo Affair in the Early 1960s
THE MAIL ON SUNDAY: His role in one of the most notorious scandals of the 20th century has long been a source of speculation.
Now the Mail on Sunday can reveal that Prince Philip was named in top-secret FBIdocuments about the Profumo affair in the early 1960s.
The papers show the FBI had been told the Duke of Edinburgh was personally 'involved' with Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies, the two women at the centre of the sex scandal that brought down the government.
Files from the US Department of Justice show the crucial memo was written by J Edgar Hoover, then director of the FBI – and it can be revealed after a five-year quest by the MoS seeking relevant documents under American freedom of information laws.
At the heart of the scandal was the married secretary of state for war John Profumo, who had denied in the Commons in March 1963 that he had a sexual relationship with teenage showgirl Keeler. He was forced to resign months later when proof of the affair became public. » |Chris Hastings for The Mail On Sunday | Sunday, July 21, 2024

Clearly, the inmates have been let out of the asylum! Good God! Is this the best that the leading nation of the free world can do? The West won’t be united under the hegemony of the USA for much longer if things go on like this. This behaviour is truly disgusting! – © Mark Alexander
Hear What JD Vance's Ex-boss Thinks about Him Now
David Frum says that Vance is such an intellect. Really? If he were to be such an intellect, would he endorse a man like Trump? Trump is the most ridiculous, most dangerous man I can think of in my lifetime. Americans are going to be fools to fall for Trump a second time. – © Mark Alexander

Truth To Power: A Trump Win in 2024 Would Be Terrible for the UK
Jul 20, 2024 | What if the unthinkable should happen, and America elects as their next president the former defeated president, the twice impeached, thrice married, 4 times indicted, 6 times bankrupt, 34 counts convicted felon, civilly liable and self-confessed serial sexual assaulter, Donald J Trump?
Already, I can foresee the hundreds of comments from the MAGA cult accusing this video of Trump Derangement Syndrome, but every word of that description is true and irrefutable. I could have added insurrectionist, but as that verdict is not yet established, in a strictly legal sense anyway, I’ll just stick to the established facts.
But more importantly, how would a second term for Trump impact the UK?

Michael Lambert: Beware of Leaders Like Trump. They Are Only in It for Themselves
Jul 20, 2024 | It seems almost beyond belief that despite having been impeached twice when formerly president, despite his many legal battles, despite his conviction as a felon, despite his company's fine of $450 million for fraud and his perpetual lying, Donald Trump is favourite to be the next president of the United States.
His followers seem to ignore anything negative about him as though they were part of a cult. This is bad for democracy and a danger to the whole world.
Nigel Farage, the newly elected MP for Clacton, has been attending the Republican Party Conference saying he is there to support his 'friend' Donald Trump. In the UK Farage, like Trump is constantly in the news being a charismatic and powerful speaker who is over-represented in the media with his party's five parliamentary seats.
Boris Johnson, like Trump and Farage, is insincere and dishonest and only interested in his own position. Having been seen by the British electorate as a cheat by partying when the rest of the country was in lockdown, Johnson now finds himself unpopular and with no remaining political future.

Japanese Gymnast Set to Miss Olympics for Smoking
BBC: Japanese gymnast Shoko Miyata has been sent home and will not compete at the Olympic Games after breaking a team smoking ban.
The 19-year-old left Japan's training camp in Monaco on Thursday as officials investigated the alleged incident.
The teenager - captain of her country's women's artistic gymnastics team - returned to Japan that night after the investigation concluded she had violated the Japan Gymnastics Association's rules.
Smoking is in violation of the association's code of conduct.
"With her confirmation and after discussions on all sides, it has been decided that she will withdraw from the Olympics," Japan Gymnastics Association secretary general Kenji Nishimura told reporters in Tokyo. » | BBC | Thursday, July 18, 2024

Britain Approves Lab-Grown Meat for Pet Food
THE NEW YORK TIMES: British dogs and cats are set to become the first animals in Europe to chow down on meat cultivated from chicken cells.
Britain has approved the sale of lab-grown meat for pet food, becoming the first European nation to give its blessing to a process that has prompted opposition in other countries.
The move, which became an opportunity for entrepreneurs after Britain’s split from the more-regulated European Union, is a victory for the biotech industry, which the British government hopes to build into a superpower.
The landmark approval went to Meatly, a British company that grows meat from chicken cells for pet food. Its product, which will begin feeding trials in August, arrives at a time when the worldwide market for pet food is expected to grow 5 percent this year to $151 billion, according to the research firm Statista.
And it is more sustainable and kinder to animals, said Owen Ensor, the chief executive of Meatly.
“It allows you to still feed the meat that your pets crave and that you want to feed your pet — while providing all the nutrients that your pet needs,” said Mr. Ensor, who added that he had fed the product to his cats, Lamu and Zanzi. » | Amelia Nierenberg, Reporting from London | Wednesday, July 17, 2024
