SubscribeBig surprise about JK! Young people are affected by puerile arguments and prevailing fashions! Stop the front page!
Oh no, writer of children’s books about a wizard boy wants to criticize contemporary castration cult! Subliterate young adults whose only literary reference is famous children’s book not happy!!
An excellent capture of the essence of the matter.
When you’re a Billionaire, why should you care if people like you or not?
What I like about JK is she puts her money where her mouth is and had the guts to call out the rotten government we now have before it was elected. It is looking highly likely that the compromise Labour will make with the trans lobby is to implement Cass to protect children, maybe they will do something about what is being taught in schools, but they will sell out women’s safety and dignity by giving access for men to women only spaces.
Had all the gender critical women (eg Stock and Bindel) stood together with one voice prior to the election against all the parties who were unreliable on protecting women (Labour, Lib Dem and Green) then they might have got a better pledge out of Starmer that he would find more difficult to flip flop on.
I doubt she cares. I’m not sure it takes guts to say how you feel when you already have more money than you know what to do with. But still, props to her for speaking up.
At the ripe old age of 84, Pelosi’s grip on the party is as strong as ever… if not on her mind.
Pelosi also claimed that J6 was a violent insurrection, has made way over 200 million off of being in politics, and dared to tear up the State of the Union speech. She is an artful liar who thinks Americans are stupid enough to believe her.
I have never met Nancy Pelosi, but I live just outside her district and I know several people who know her well. One of them called her as dumb as a post. Others have agreed with that assessment. She was a consummate power broker, but she was no leader on the things that mattered. Like Harry Reid, a shrewd and nasty party apparatchik.
Nancy Pelosi will die in a state of sin and go straight to hell. Within the diocese of San Francisco she cannot take Holy Communion. HC is also part of the last rites. At the age of 84 that should be a good reason for begging for forgiveness and showing repentance. God will not be believe her when in extremis. Her place in hell has been pre-heated so she can be welcomed any moment. .
lol
Many do believe her, or at least pretend to believe her.
