He's a young twenty something kid who plays football and will one day wear a super bowl ring and all he did was laugh at a funny fake video. And then they scrub the fake video from the internet. Censorship pure and simple. I'm very surprised that Grok will not help me find...

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Macron was publicly humiliated as he arrived for a state visit to Vietnam.

Hollywood power couples aren’t always blessed with fairy tale relationships – as we’ve witnessed with the likes of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and with the recent Johnny Depp and Amber Heard court case.
