Donald Trump raised several eyebrows with a double negative in a recent statement—which read as him taking aim at those supporting his ongoing election fraud claims. The statement from the former president, shared via email on Saturday, read: "Anybody that doesn't think there wasn't massive election fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election is either very stupid or very corrupt." Trump's comments were met with sarcastic tweets from several of his detractors, who were keen to point out the double negative read as him taking aim at those who supported his repeated fraud claims. NEW! President Donald J. Trump: "Anybody that...

New York, NY — The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, associate to Jeffrey Epstein, is now a week in, and the media has been largely silent. While you might hear mention of it here and there, certainly there’s not the media circus seen in other recent trials. Zero Hedge reported earlier this week that there is no livestream of the trial, and this fact has led to speculation that the elites are trying to cover up something. Certainly, the powers that be do want to cover things up, but it’s a macro issue. They want to cover up everything. Hannah Cox,...

When she recited this lament to the ANC she was angrily accused of “nostalgia for the white city”.In today’s South Africa it is, of course, politically inadmissible to say that the whites got anything right so instead Ferial recorded sadly how in the years before 1994 there had been lots of bold talk by the UDF about...

When relationships end it might be because the spark has disappeared, or maybe you just can’t make time for one another. But can climate change cause break-ups? It might do, according to a new study which suggests albatrosses – some of the world’s most loyal creatures – are “divorcing” more. Research published in the Royal Society journal looked at 15,500 breeding pairs in the Falkland Islands over 15 years. Albatross divorce is basically just cheating, in human terms. It’s when one part of a couple mates with a different individual. Like humans, albatrosses also have an awkward growing-up phase, trying...
