He slammed Musk’s heritage, calling South Africans the most racist people on Earth.
“He should go back to South Africa,” Bannon said. “Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on Earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”
Bannon continued to pile on the criticism, saying Musk has a maturity of a “little boy” and only has an interest in increasing his wealth.

It was claimed that while Brown was prime minister, police officers were told not to intervene because child victims of the gangs had made a "lifestyle choice".
A spokesman for Brown - who served as MP for Dunfermline East then Kirkarldy and and Cowdenbeath from 1983 to 2015 - said it was a "complete fabrication" to suggest Brown was responsible.
"There is no basis for such allegations at all," he said.
"There is no foundation whatsoever for alleging that Mr Brown sent, approved or was in any way involved with issuing a circular or statement to the police because it did not happen.

It is genuinely hard to find the words to describe the crassness, the ignorance, the potential violence wrapped up in each one of Musk’s interventions. The sudden fixation of the world’s richest man on child sexual exploitation in deindustrialized English towns—much of which took place more than a decade ago—has forced British people like me, who follow the news, who live here, who think they actually care about such things, to check that we are not out of our minds. So we have remembered the voluminous reporting, in all forms—official, journalistic, conspiratorial, dramatized-for-television—that have documented these awful stories for the past fifteen years. We have remembered that reliable data on sexual abuse, particularly toward children, is notoriously hard to compile. (Last November, the Labour government published the first-ever British statistics to include the ethnicity of perpetrators, which showed that seven per cent of offenders in 2023 were “Asian,” roughly in line with their share of the population.) We have remembered that Starmer did a decent job as a public prosecutor. We have remembered that in 2014, Alexis Jay, a Scottish academic and former social worker, led a shocking inquiry, which documented the abuse of some fourteen hundred girls in the town of Rotherham alone. Jay subsequently steered a seven-year national independent inquiry into child sexual abuse—with fifteen strands of investigation—that included interviews with more than seven thousand victims, from all corners of Britain. We have remembered that political will has been lacking. In 2022, Jay’s monumental work made twenty recommendations, none of which were enacted by the previous Conservative government.
But the hard graft of protecting vulnerable children, or prosecuting rapists, or enacting legislative change, is not what Musk is after. “The truth is a concept that Elon Musk clearly has very little interest in,” Andrew Norfolk, a recently retired investigative reporter for the Times of London, who covered the grooming-gang cases for years, told his old newspaper this week. What Musk craves is disorder and proof of his power. Since endorsing Donald Trump’s bid for the Presidency on X, in July, he has stepped up his digital incursions on behalf of right-wing parties and causes in democracies from Argentina to Germany. During last summer’s riots in the U.K., following the deaths, by stabbing, of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class near Liverpool—which were inflamed by online misinformation identifying the alleged killer as a Muslim immigrant (he wasn’t)—Musk tweeted, “Civil war is inevitable.”
Keir Starmer tore into Elon Musk Monday, as the U.K. prime minister forcefully stood by his record sticking up for the victims of child sexual exploitation.
Starmer said he had tackled the “utterly sickening” crime “head on” as director of public prosecutions (DPP) — and appeared to accuse Musk, who in recent days boosted a jailed far-right activist known as Tommy Robinson, of “spreading lies and misinformation.”
In the British government’s most direct pushback at Musk yet, Starmer told reporters at a press conference in Surrey: “Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible, they are not interested in victims, they are interested in themselves.”

House Republicans have a problem. They want to pass a massive agenda for President-elect Trump, preferably in his first 100 days of office. And they don’t want to add to the federal deficit.
That looks impossible.

Cult leaders are typically malignant narcissists and want people who will be obedient to them.
Cult leaders want people who will be obedient to them and their rules. They look for ways to “break” people; they want people who will work hard and long hours for little or no pay. They want “willing” slaves. Authoritarian religious cults often use members for labor trafficking. When the mind is controlled, a victim may appear happy and willing to suffer for the profit or benefit of the leader/group.

The arrest of the Alexander brothers on rape and assault charges has shocked Miami’s Israeli community; known for their wealth in real estate and security and generous donations to Israeli causes, opinions are split, with some praising them and others calling them arrogant
Until recently, Vladimir Putin insisted, at least publicly, that he didn’t want a cult of his personality. Not anymore. During the last three years of the war he started in Ukraine, he has embraced it.
The serious Putin talked about the war even on Orthodox Christmas, which comes in January, at the country’s main church, the Christ the Savior Cathedral. The Kremlin informed Russians that Putin had asked the country’s top priest “to engrave his own initials” on chains for the crosses worn by soldiers

He then added “despite the extraordinary breadth of those protections, one power they do not provide is the power to erase a jury verdict.”
A verdict required a sentence of some kind, but that brought Merchan back to the presidential protections.
“This court has determined that the only lawful sentence that permits entry of a judgment of conviction without encroaching upon the highest office in the land, is an unconditional discharge,” Merchan concluded. “Therefore at this time I impose that sentence to cover all 34 counts.”

MAGA nation is out for blood after Donald Trump officially became a convicted felon.
At his sentencing on Friday, the president-elect received no punishment for attempting to cover up a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to stop her speaking about their affair, which Trump denies took place.
Trump received an unconditional discharge from Judge Juan Merchan, but it didn’t stop the president-elect, his political allies, and his highest-profile supporters from calling for payback.
