No matter what your views are on the Monarchy of the UK or monarchy in general, Queen Elizabeth II was an absolutely incredible human being and I truly believe this planet was a better place with her in it. Being royalty does not make you better or worse than anyone else… …but this particular Queen was someone who deserved our admiration. I am really sad we’ve lost her. Humanity does not have many people left to show us what dignity and grace—-in the face of all things—-really look like.

Seán Ono Lennon @seanonolennon I just wish I could have listened in on the meeting… ‘Your Highness, it would seem the people have begun to grow weary and possibly suspicious of the institution of the monarchy.’ ‘Well what are we going to do about it?’ ‘One idea is to have your portrait painted as an ancient hell demon emerging from a sort of murky lake of blood, ready to claim rule over the people of light, dragging them into the shadow realms for all eternity.’ ‘Terrific idea! I’ll get my fancy red coat!’ 5:09 PM · May 15, 2024 ·...

Everything about the British royal family since the beginning of the year has been steeped in the mystery of an Agatha Christie novel.

It came after the Munich freezeout where the private jets of global elites were snowed-in. But apparently most made it to Dubai for COP28. Or more apt, the Cop-out meeting where the global elites meet eating caviar and guzzling champagne and telling us to die off, eat bugs and drive idiotic EVs that most Americans can’t afford. (A $100,000 Ford F-150 Lightning??) But at least we can hear England’s royalty, King Charles, bloviate about the weather. Along with American royalty, VP Kamala Harris and Climate Envoy John Kerry who committed the US to closing down out coal burning plants. It...

SMOKING will be banished in Britain for youngsters, King Charles confirmed today. At the state opening of Parliament, the monarch confirmed Rishi Sunak will mount an historic crackdown on cigarettes by raising the legal age every year until there are no smokers left. The PM has previously said: "We must tackle the single biggest entirely preventable cause of ill health disability and death. "And that is smoking, and our country. Smoking causes, one in four cancer deaths." The new plans mean a 14-year-old today will never legally be sold a cigarette. The tough new anti-smoking measures would see the smoking...
