A woman's fuming Facebook post after sending her husband Clive to buy a leg of lamb in Tesco has become the talk of Ramsbottom.

A solid majority of Americans know that the 2020 election was fraudulent. That’s a big problem for a country with a representative government, one in which the leaders are supposed to represent the will of the people. We’re a nation of laws ostensibly flowing from a Constitution that sets out explicit limitations on the federal government’s powers and protects a variety of citizens’ rights upon which said government cannot infringe. To the degree that a significant majority of citizens feel that the leader of this government was not constitutionally elected, that’s a problem. For all its importance, our Constitution is...

The fire was quickly and predictably blamed on global warming, now called climate change, although a changing climate, including moisture and drought, are nothing new to Colorado and have been occurring long before...

It’s becoming ever more apparent that the government health intelligentsia’s efforts to protect Americans from COVID have been a complete failure. That’s why you’ve heard nothing about its success. But here’s what we do know for sure: There’s never been any convincing evidence that wearing a loose-fitting rag over your face stops viral spread, but if that doesn’t give one pause to question the efficacy of the practice, then there’s always the incontrovertible fact that there isn’t a single place on the planet which can be pointed toward as the beacon of evidence for the efficacy of mask mandates. Regarding...

In the Ukraine crisis, Russian natural gas supplies should not be subject to EU sanctions, according to Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg.

"We in Europe are to a certain extent dependent on energy from Russia," the chief diplomat also argued. "We will not...
